As Johnathan and Rhys returned back to the Fernandez house, it was no surprise to either of them when they saw Elena and her grandfather waiting in the living area with Rhys parents and his grandfather. All eyes fell on them as they entered the waiting area. Johnathan grew nervous at this. “Rhys? Do you think we are safe here?” He whispered to Rhys hearing.“Kiddo come over here! Come and greet your grandfather.” Luther called out to Rhys happily, while Elena looked away shyly.The news of Rhys proposing to her had went viral on the internet immediately it happened, she had not gotten a chance to tell her grandfather when he called her and insisted that she drove over to the Fernandez household. After proposing to her in front of everyone, Rhys and Jonathan had suddenly left, with Rhys promising to call her but the call never came.Throughout the car ride to the Fernandez mansion, he kept playing with the ring, which fits her perfectly. One part of her was genuinely excited that Rhys
Elena couldn’t deny that she was nervous when Rhys asked to speak to her. ‘It was expected,’ She said inwardly. With a smile, Lydia led Jonathan out of the room to give the couple a chance to speak. There was a strange silence in the air; Elena stared at her gown, fidgeting with the ring on her finger. She was nervous about the conversation.“Rhys-”“Elena-”The two of them said simultaneously. Elena glanced at Rhys and then looked away, a blush appearing on her face. “You should go first.”“Elena, I’m so sorry that I dragged you to this mess. It was impulsive and stupid, but I couldn’t come up with anything else at that moment.” Rhys said sincerely, he felt as if he had stolen something from her. Her choice.“It is fine.” Elena felt a bit sad upon hearing his apology, she couldn’t help but feel like she was going to be discarded soon. So she hardened her heart, waiting for Rhys decision. “So what are we going to do? Our grandparents are already planning an engagement ceremony, your m
Rhys watched the two old men banter like teenagers over what should be of no concern to them, he and Elena watched the men for a while before they lost interest, he decided to break the argument before it turned to something physical. “Stop it both of you!” He ordered with a loud tone of voice.It was shocking to see two old men, the patriarch of their respective families suddenly become silent as soon as the heard Rhys. They still glowered and hissed at each other before returning to their respective seats. “Both of you are acting like kids. This is Elena and I’s wedding and I doubt that you guys should be in charge of the preparation.”“So you mean one person has to be in charge right?” Harrison stood up and approached his grandson. “I know you love grandpa so much to allow me pass up this opportunity. Right?”Luther huffed and turned to look at his granddaughter. “Elena, you know I took care of you since you were a teeny baby and grandpa has always imagined the day you would get ma
The reaction of the two old men was expected, they both glared at Johnathan who soon took off out of fright, inwardly promising not to show his face before them again. Elena shook her head while Rhys tried so hard to restrain his laughter. “Mum, what was that for?”Lydia shrugged, not giving her son any response, instead she beckoned to Elena and they both left to discuss something else. Seeing the old men settle their temporary feud with each other, Rhys walked towards them with two small bottles in his hands. “Grandfathers, I have something for both of you.”Harrison’s face brightened up. “You have something good for this old man?” Rhys nodded before showing them the bottles in his hands, both of them contained the mild version of the life extension elixir mixed with the diluted lake water. It was enough to heal the poison in Luther’s body and even help restructuring the bodies of both men.The two men grabbed the bottle and began to shoo him off. “Hey, just a drop daily!” He anno
Rhys flicked the dagger gently to remove the blood on it. “Lets go further,” He said casually to Rio who woke up as soon as he sensed that the wolf was dead. Both of them moved further into the cave which was now shaped like a wide tunnel. They arrived before a group of four wolves, behind them were two paths.“Master this may be difficult for you.” Rio said as he walked towards a corner, the wolves eyes were fixed on Rhys who had suddenly appeared. “I can get rid of both of them for you.” As the spirit of the space, Rio could control everything that happened in here, and killing two wolves was as easy as flicking one of his small hands.Although Rhys had killed a single wolf, attacking a group of them was different, one could be attacked from behind while he was trying to fight one enemy which was a very big disadvantage. Experience was needed to fight a group of monsters and people alike. Rhys didn’t have any attack skills so this was definitely going to be difficult for him but h
When Rhys was unconscious in the hospital, Rio had staged a means for the Fernandez men to find him, he had claimed that he was searching for food and had lost his way. Lydia was so worried about him and over the next few days she had not allowed him to be out of her sight so Rio had to modify everyone’s memories so that they would forget him while he remained in the space.After Rhys had rested properly in the space, he returned to the outside world and realized that he had spent over a day in the space. While he was regaining his strength, his family had been busy, trying to plan a wedding and Elena had to play along with them with Jonathan by her side.Stepping out of the room, he had a very strange feeling in his mind but doesn’t think much about it. He entered the elevator, punched the number for the ground floor and waited. He stepped out of the elevator but the strange feeling in his heart does not disappear, instead it intensifies. The waiting area was very dark. “Increase ro
With just a call from Lydia, three bodyguards entered the house and they took out the bodies, leaving just one. Rhys had killed everyone but one for a reason. The limbs and blood were quickly cleaned up and the room reverted to the normal state it was. Except for the lingering scent of blood in the air, no one would be able to guess what happened in the room. Lydia insisted on helping Rhys clean up and bandage the injury on his shoulder, she complained a few times while she was finishing the task. “How could you be so careless with your life?”“I promise, it would never happen again.” Rhys could only try to reassure her but there wasn’t much that he could say that would calm her down.“What of it has been your heart? What would you have done? Why didn’t you try to escape?” She went on and on about how Rhys could have avoided getting injured, then she turned to the three bodyguards who stood by the side with their heads bowed, they were trying to make their presence in the room very s
In an unknown location, a man sat on his desk, before a computer with a frown on his face as he read the recent news on the internet. The look on his face morphed to that of sheer anger as a picture popped up on the screen. “Who is this bastard! How dare he try to take what belongs to me!” .. the phone on the desk fell on his line of sight, he grabbed it and started to go through some of the contents on it. The picture of a woman appeared on the screen, he smiled as he gazed at it. “It won’t be long before you are by my side.” He kissed the screen and a very malicious expression appeared on his face.The woman on the picture was one that was familiar to a lot of people. It was Elena Topaz.The main socialite of the country and the dream woman of a lot of men and he was not an exception.He could still recall the first time he had saw her, he instantly knew that she was the one he wanted by her side. She would stand by his side and rule the empire he was slowly building, she would al
