Albert felt goosebumps on his skin at the mention of his mother's name. All his sensory neurons were alerted and he shifted in his seat to face Marie properly.

‘ Maybe it's another Juliana she was referring to. My mother did have any dealings with any other dark lord, except my dad.’ He thought. He was extremely disoriented and confused, he wanted assurance, so he asked Marie, “ Can you mention the full name of that Juliana, please”

“ Why are you concerned about the name? Are you related to any Juliana?” Marie became angry at his question.

Albert almost lost his cool posture, when he shouted at Marie, “ What's so difficult about the question I asked? Just tell me the damn full name!”

Joy threw him a scornful and bitter look, “ Are you sure you are normal? How dare you talk to my mom like that?”

Albert had forgotten Joy's presence in the room and he also forgot he was talking to his prospective mother-in-law. He faced both mother and daughter with a remorseful look, “ I'm sorry for s

    After the discussion and their agreement, Lucas and Albert stood up to leave, so Marie and Joy followed them to their car.With a determined look, “We will get to the root of this matter and I'm sure we won't fail. All I want is your support and nobody should take any decisions behind me. I will inform Alex about the latest developments, but if there is any strange occurrence or feelings, don't hesitate to notify me”Lucas passed the message to the three other sorcerers standing before him. Albert was distraught and disturbed, so he couldn't say anything to Joy or gave her a goodbye hug. He also wanted to be careful around Marie, he didn't want to feel her wrath. He quietly sat at the front seat of the car and patiently waited for Lucas to take him home.Joy moved closer to Lucas, “ Let me go inside and pick my bag, I can sleep over at Rowland's mansion tonight”She wanted to evade her mother's scrutinizing look and serious questioning, so she wanted to leave the house.

    “ Are you sure you heard him well? Where could your mother have gone to, if not Sweden? I will inform the secret agency to start their search tomorrow. Let's give them two to three days to come up with a report, then we will take it up from there” he calmly provided a solution over the phone, then he disconnected the call.‘ Where could this woman be? Or has Lucifer and his men gotten a hold of her?’ Lucas muttered to himself, then he shook away the negative thoughts in his mind.‘ No, it can't be. Lucifer would have been hovering around this mansion if he had seen her. But come to think of it, Lucifer is becoming desperate to acquire this power and he might attack my father-in-law anytime from now. I need to explain everything to Lilly and her father. They need to be aware of the problem ahead of this family’ He muttered while pacing back and forth.“ What problem do we need to deal with? You need to come in and explain everything to me now! Whose life is at stake?” Justin commanded

    “ You are kidding, right? The last time I checked, they were just mere friends. It took a lot of intervention from you before Joy agreed to be his friend, so when did they start dating?” Lilly asked. She was surprised that two arch enemies could profess love to each other.“ It was just confirmed two days ago, before we realized the trouble ahead of us”Lucas faced his father-in-law to study his reaction to the shocking news.“ Thank God the relationship is still fresh, so they can still put a stop to it.” Lucas frowned at Justin's statement, “ Am I making sense, Lucas? They can still get separated, right?”“ I'm afraid that won't be possible, sir. They have been in love for a very long time before one of them summoned courage to speak up. They are deeply in love”His response angered Justin and he flared up, “ What kind of stupid love is that, when my life is at stake? I don't care how they do it, they have to put an end to this madness”His anger erupted a volcanic annoyance in Luca

    Meanwhile at Marie's apartment, Joy tiptoed out of the house without her mother's notice. When she got to the porch at the entrance of their house, she looked left and right to check if someone was lurking around. When she was sure that she was alone, she brought out her phone to call Albert. It was at the second ring that the recipient picked up the call.Speaking in hushed tones, “ Hi babe, how are you?”“ I'm fine, love. How about your side? Is everything alright with you? Hope your mother is not troubling you?” Albert replied with a calming tone. He was extremely worried earlier, both about his mother and Joy, and he had almost cried out his eyeballs, if not for Alex's visit and Lucas's intervention.His nerves had been calmed with a bottle of alcoholic wine. He would have drowned himself in the drink, but Alex's presence stopped him. He was now alright to speak with his girlfriend.“ I should be asking you that, but hearing the calmness of your voice, I guess I shouldn't be worr

    Marie wasn't hearing any of her pleas because she had left her to decide wisely. Joy went inside her room, she was devastated and helpless. She couldn't think straight, so she ended up crying. She cried out loud that her whimper could be heard by her mother in the next room, but instead of Marie showing up and giving her the support and strength she needed, she didn't care. All she did was to leave the girl to her predicament.She cried herself to sleep and the ball socket of her eyes almost bulged out. Early morning of the following day, she did minimal clean up on her body, then she set out to meet the only person that had been her confidant for a very long time. Without informing her mother, she went to visit Ms Jane in the Old folks home.As she stepped into the Care home surroundings, the security guard welcomed her, but was surprised to see her.“ Hi Ms Joy, hope there is no problem. Today is not your normal visiting day” He squinted his eyes when he saw Joy's swollen eyes and h

    Albert rubbed his eyes to be sure he was seeing clearly, “ Yeah! It's her”, At a wind speed, he rushed to hug her “ Mom, I have missed you” He started crying, refusing to let go of the fragile woman. He was so engrossed in the warm embrace that he was oblivious of what was happening to Ms Jane.The woman couldn't utter a word, she held her head in pain, when she couldn't bear the agony anymore, she forcefully detached herself from Albert and she screamed.As she held her head, she was opening and closing her eyes at intervals and the world seemed turning around her, she was feeling dizzy.Before Joy could run to her side, she fell on the ground with a thud. Albert and Joy got to her side in a rush. She was shaken vigorously, but there was no response from her.“ Mom! Mom! Mom!Please wake up, it's me. It's your son, Albert. Answer me! Juliana” He was forced to call her by her name, due to frustration, but she had lost consciousness.“ Calm down, there is nothing wrong with her. She ju

    His mom was still asleep and Joy was rubbing her cheeks tenderly when he rushed in. Joy looked agitated as she saw his restless expression, “ What happened? Why did you rush in like you were being chased?” She questioned.“ Of course I was being chased. Why would I barge in like a mad man if everything is okay? We need to leave here at this minute, and we aren't leaving without my mother” he said authoritatively. He disconnected the long drip connected to the cannula on his mother's arm.“ Whoa! Aren't you being dramatic and getting ahead of yourself? How can we leave when your mother hasn't recovered? She is still unconscious, for crying out loud!” Joy screamed, forgetting the patient on the bed.“ Can you please listen to me for once without dragging words with me?” He shouted, thinking Joy would at least be scared, but she didn't move from her seat.He was forced to kneel before her and whispered into her ear, “ Lucifer's henchman is outside.

    Lucifer was pacing back and forth in the conference room inside his house. Some of his men stood before him with their heads bowed. Silence engulfed the room such that the sound of a pin could be heard.He glanced at them with a bitter look, then all of a sudden, he raised his voice, “ You are a bunch of idiots. How could you allow them to slip away from you like that? How could you lose them? That was the best opportunity you could have used to capture them when Albert was harmless. He seldom goes out with guns these days and I'm sure today was one of the days. Damn!” He attacked them furiously.“ Snake! I'm highly disappointed in you. If someone told me you would miss your target, I would have put a straight bullet on the person's head. This is the best chance for me to become the most powerful dark lord on earth and also exalt my revenge on Justin Rowland. I would have gotten my revenge on Diego for betraying me, but I’m acquainted with him for the rest of my life. The only grandso

    Everybody rose at once, including the president. The president moved forward to shake hands with him, but Lucas remained puzzled. He was perplexed with the warm welcome, but he honorably walked round the conference room to shake each delegate's present. The president with his cabinet had smiles on their faces and they didn't hide how happy they were to meet him.A middle-aged man had his jaw dropped since the time Lucas entered and the shock didn't wipe off until Lucas got to his side.“ Good evening sir, you looked surprised to see me. I hope there is no problem” Lucas asked as he shook hands with the man.“ Yeah, I'm completely overwhelmed and I have a thousand reasons to be. This resemblance is just too much that I can't even fathom how we didn't realize it till this moment. You are highly welcome, son of grace” He said, then he faced the other cabinet who had gone back to their seats.“ If you observe very closely, this is James Armstrong in flesh and blood.

    Unexpected Invitation

    As they drove through the busy road in the dark, many thoughts ran through Lucas's mind, “ What will my fate be when I get to the NSM office? Will I be punished? Will my identity be revealed? What excuse should I give for unsheathing the sword?”He wasn't worried about the condition at home on how to handle Albert's issue and the announcement of Justin's death to the public, because he trusted Alex to deal with that.He remembered when he visited the museum with Alex two days ago. Their father knew little about magic and he hadn't explained some of their family history to Alex, so he took it upon himself to enlighten him. They bought tickets and Lucas started explaining the existence and benefits of some artifacts to him. Although Alex was older, apart from the western knowledge, all he knew was business and Mafia dealings.They were about to round up their tour in the Museum when Lucas got to the door where James’ picture was engraved with the ancestral sword.

Although Justin's shirt was filled with blood, Lucas didn't mind. He rubbed the soaked shirt until Justin stopped coughing.Justin's cough stopped but his breathing was uneven. He found it difficult to form a whole sentence, so he just whispered in Lucas's ear, “ Please take me home urgently and make sure Albert and Joy followed us back to the mansion. Call your wife attention back to us please, she is disoriented about the new revelation”He managed to order Lucas after some minutes of break-in each word. Lucas wanted to question him about the new revelation, but he thought against it. His main focus was to take Justin home safely.“ Hey baby, come and help me carry dad on my back.” Lucas said to Lilly who was still lost in thought about the news of her unknown pregnancy.Her mind was somewhere else, so she was confused if she should hug

That's so thoughtful of you. You are just as smart as your mother. Let's check his wound then”The dragon started licking the wound. It licked all the blood on his heart. When it was satisfied that everything was clean, it spit on the wound.“ Let's give him some time to heal, he will be back to life.

He expected him to have gotten home and heard the situation of Joy's kidnap from his father-in-law, then put a call across to him, but he got nothing.He was running out of patience, because he was the one controlling Albert from jumping out of the house to meet his father.“ Are we still waiting for him? I'm losing my patience already. Don't try to stop me if I step out of this place” Albert shouted.“ Sorry, let me call his wife” Alex dialed Lilly's number, then it was picked instantly. “ Hi Alex, hope nothing is wrong with my husband” Lilly asked, as if she had been expecting his call.Alex was confused and everybody in the room became alert.

After a few seconds, he summoned courage to enter.As he opened the door, he was ambushed by his wife, Justin and Marie. Scared of their thorough questioning, he decided to start explaining himself, “ I'm sorry I didn't come home last night. I was with Alex discussing some important things before I lost the track of time, so I decided to sleep over. Please forgive me for making you worried, guys” he apologized.Lilly rolled her eyes and hissed. Her face was sad and she reluctantly went back to sit as if she wasn't expecting him.Scared that his wife wasn't ready to forgive him, he apologized again. “ Baby, I'm sorry please, this mistake will never repeat itself again”Justin and Marie also went back to their seat silently as his wife.
