Elena became terrified, she started shivering with fears. She couldn't scream or shout, because that would attract the people outside the mansion. Moreover, she was warned not to say anything because of the dragon's egg in her mouth. She muffled her sobs, then she started walking backwards, until her back hit a cold iron door. The iron door opened abruptly and she fell into another room.The room was dim with red light. There are many artifacts hanging around the four walls of the room. She stepped forward to check the room further until she hit a hard object on the floor. Someone yelled out in pain and the force made her fall.“ Ouch! Can't you watch your steps? Do you want to break my legs?” The person uttered furiously.Elena turned to her right side,then he saw a haggard looking old man in shackles. He had gray hair on his head, with hair covering ninety percent of his face. The cloth he put on was torn and there were traces of lashes on his body. His hands and legs were stretch
Elena was found sprawled on the floor with the mirror broken and its pieces scattered in the room. She couldn't wait any longer because the Oldman instructed her to break the mirror immediately she stepped her foot on the ground of her destination.The broken pieces weren't what shocked Alex and Albert, it was Elena's naked body. Her neck down to her waist was covered in a cropped top, but the rest of her body was left naked. There was dark, thick-looking liquid coming from her private part. And the smell oozing out from the liquid substance was so strong and unbearable that both brothers had to cover their noses.Elena was on the floor looking helpless and shedding tears, she did open her mouth because of the dragon egg that was still there.“ This sight is appalling, we need to call Lucas immediately. How did you encounter this disgusting discharge coming out of you?” Albert shouted.“ It's the middle of the night, what if he is already sleeping?” Alex reasoned.“ He cannot sleep ye
“ It's been a long time since I have set my eyes on you. How is everything? Lilly told me you have something very important to discuss with me, what is it?” Justin asked Lucas. Lucas went to visit Justin in his company after Alex left his place in sorrow.He needed to deal with his own issue, before focusing on Elena's other problem.“ Yes sir. I was given a revelation concerning the birth of Lilly and the steps to take before we get married.” Lucas started.Justin shifted from his seat and he gave Lucas ultimate attention.“ Okay, what revelation and how did you get it?” He asked eagerly“ A dragon revealed to me that, my father instructed you to visit him after Lilly's birth, but you didn't go back to him” Lucas said“ It's true I didn't yield to your father's instructions, but he had disappeared when we went back to his place to complain about Bobby's infertility. The search team I sent to look for him also came back to inform me of his death. What is the problem? I'm ready to do a
“ Tell my wife I have gone to meet Lucas and Lilly in his penthouse, and we will proceed from there to the river,” Justin Rowland said to Miss Fisher. After their engagement, Lilly spent most of her night at Lucas's apartment, so he needed to join them at his house.“ River? What do you mean, Mr Rowland?” Miss Fisher asked, confused.“ When you explain this to my wife, she will understand.” Justin saidAs he was about leaving the house, his wife stopped him.“ Honey, wait! Let's go together. I want to witness what will happen to my daughter at the river.” Lilliana said as she carried her handbag to follow Justin.“ I explained the situation to you and you told me anything spiritual is against your belief as a Christian, what made you change your mind?” Justin asked surprised.“ I must be involved in anything that concerns my only daughter, whether it's spiritual or not. Do you have any problem with my presence?” She asked “ Not at all, I am surprised you changed your mind, that's all
“ If anybody told me I have a resemblance with a river goddess, I wouldn't have believed. Had it been my mum who is still alive, I would have asked her about my origin” Lilliana kept ranting inside the car as they returned home.Lucas was lost in thought and he didn't contribute to any discussion on their way home. He was driving at high speed because he wanted to get home quickly. He needed a quiet and cool place to think about what he heard about his future mother-in-law. He was sure Lilliana did not have much time to spend on earth, but when, how and where her death would happen, he didn't know.His brain kept processing about how Lilly would feel when she lost her dear mother. She had no friends except her mother. She seldom asked Clara for advice because she was her mother's adoptive daughter. She had no other confidant, so she would be totally broken if she lost her mother.Lucas thought there might be a way to reverse the death or ward it off, but Alina told him that was Lillia
“ What's wrong with Alex?” Lucas asked“ I can't really explain what the problem is. I have known Alex to be a strong man, but to see a grown up man shedding unending tears worries me.” Albert explained.Lucas looked at him in surprise, “ He might be hurt, but why would he be shedding tears like a small child? I just came back from a place and I'm tired. I will come back to see him in the evening after I have taken enough rest” he saidAlbert looked at Lucas's outlook, “ You look worn-out man, it seems you are battling with something also. Can you guys get a grip of yourselves and be strong for me?I'm the youngest among you and you are draining me already. I have problems too, you know.” He yelled in frustration, the he turned around to leave Lucas who was surprised by his outburst.“ This guy doesn't understand the pain in my heart. His only problem is to find his mother, not that she is dead.” Lucas hissed, then he went inside his house.He met Dave sitting in his living room siping
Elena's self esteem had changed during the course of her being alone in the house. She had learnt to love herself and also carried out some works alone. She tidied up the whole house, spray everywhere with air freshener and rearranged some things in the house.She ordered adult diapers for herself, so that she would not create a mess in the house. She also took her bath everytime she changed the diapers. Everywhere was sparkling clean and tidy.She started a garden in the house where she planted flowers and she watered them every morning and night. She did everything with joy and this had taken away most of her sorrows.Jinx never visited her again and the discharge from her private part had stopped. She was now reborn.Alex and other guys were initially scared when they couldn't find anybody in the house. They had searched everywhere and they had almost made a report for a missing person until Albert saw the back door opened. They went to the backyard and they were shocked when they
Elena was pacing back and forth, “ I didn't know that good Samaritan was his father, I would have informed him earlier than today” she lamented.“ It's not your fault, babe. We all thought his father was dead, so how could you have known?” Alex said.“ It's a pity you can't choose your parents, how could I have been related to a heartless man like Lucifer. All he does is to inflict pain on people, and he expects God to make him a king. That man deserves a painful death” Albert said bitterly“ Albert! That's too harsh for someone you called your father. Stop it, please” Elena retorted.“ Coming from someone who murdered her mother because of her excessive control. You don't need to behave like a saint here, Lucifer is worse than Catherina” Albert replied angrily. He knew his statement would hurt Elena but he hated the way she pretended to be holier than thou.“ I can't believe that's coming from a mature man like you, Albert. When will you stop being insensitive? Elena has changed and
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. Why haven't we noticed
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. He smiled when he went
Lucas rushed to Justin's side, he raised his head and sat behind his back. He rubbed his chest with his hand I'm order to relieve him of his cough. 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
The dragon landed on the ground, then it covered the two brothers with its wings.“ Why would the Young warlock lay in a pool of blood like this? Why did he wait to be this injured before I could be summoned?” It questioned AlexThe dragon took a good look at Lucas, then it noticed he was unconscious. “ How did I get summoned if he was unconscious, I came because I saw his signature”Alex became paranoid, but he spoke up. “I rubbed the ancestral sword with his blood, that's how I was able to summon you” he answered.“ Oh! 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. You should be grateful you summoned me on time, because the effect of the coated dagger hadn't reached his soul yet. Where is the monster?” The dragon asked “ I don't
Alex paced back and forth in his living room, while other family members sat down quietly expecting order from him. He became restless when he hadn't received any call from Lucas. 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. He increased the volume of his phone for them to hear his conversation with Lilly.“ I don't understand what you are talking about. It's almost three hours since Lu
Lucas sighed heavily as he got to Rowland's mansion, he didn't know the kind of panel he would face when he entered. 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. Before he could say another word, Justin's voice stopped him.“ Joy has been kidnapped by Jeffrey and he demanded I come to a specific lo
“ My Joy, in trouble? Wha..what did the caption say?” Albert stammered.“ Okay, let me check…It says; come to this specific location if you want your daughter alive. Failure to do so in the next forty-eight hours, her corpse will be sent to you” “ How did she get captured? She is a great witch for goodness sake, how?” Albert yelled, then he threw his phone across the room.Alex hurried to his side, then he found forced him to sit down.“ You have to calm down. We will think of…” His statement was cut short by Albert's ringing tone.He dashed to pick up the almost shattered phone, but he was met with silence from the other end.“ Hello! Who is this please?” Still with no response, he lost his patience.“ If you can't speak, then get the hell away from me and don't try to call this number ever again” He screamedHis scream sounded like a joke to the caller, as the person bursted into a maniac laugh.“ Hello boy. You sounded so tough earlier on the phone, why is your voice shaking? Is t
“ Goodbye Lucifer!” As Lucifer heard these words from his son, he became furious. He knew he had lost his son forever but he wasn't ready to give up.“ No matter what it takes, I must get this boy to be on my side.” He thought, then he switched his attention back to Xavier, who was still on the phone with him.“ I don't know how you want to do it, but you must get my company back. Use any method possible to regain back my money from those scumbags. If you fail to give me any positive report, I will have your head on a platter” He threatened, then he disconnected the call “ Haa!, This can't be! How could someone successfully dupe me without any stress? Have I lost my power and sense of reasoning because of my lost arm? Why didn't I see this coming? Damn!” He hit his left hand on the wall before he remembered it's an artificial arm.“ Ouch! Shit! Shit! I will never accept defeat. I can't go down like this, I must do something. Justin has to let go of this dark magic by force. Snake! Sn
“ Good morning Mr Albert, Adrian and his team are waiting for us downstairs. Shall we go now?” Albert closed his laptop and he smiled, “Sure, let's go”Although he didn't know what Alex and Lucas's plan was, he still put his trust in them. Xavier and Albert drove in Albert's car. They followed Adrian’s car , then he led them to the Oil grill location.“ This will be your first project as the CEO of Robinson's Company, your father will be very proud of you” Albert looked at Xavier and he shook his head, “ I wouldn't want to take all the compliments and the glory, because most of the work was done by you. Robinson's Company is very lucky to have a dedicated manager like you, keep it up.”Adrian’s car moved at a high speed because the location of the oil grill was far. They drove for about an hour before they got to a high fence with a gigantic gate at the entrance. This fence encompasses a olarge expanse of land located at the outskirt of the city.Adrian parked his car in front of
