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
Marie ran to hug her daughter as she came down from Alex's car. After Albert left Lucifer's house, he went straight home to stay with his mother, so Joy decided to leave after that.“ Oh! Baby, Mommy is sorry. I'm very sorry I gave you a hard time and tried to force you to make a choice. I know you deserve happiness and I will never try to take away that from you again. I have realized my mistakes now. Thanks for coming back to me” she cried while she hugged Joy. Joy stared at her mother for a few minutes and she saw that she gave a remorseful and sincere apology. She realized Marie was ready to become the mother she yearned for and she was ready to give her a chance, but she was confused with her mother's last statement. “ What did you mean by ‘ thanks for coming back to me’, I never left you mom. I can never leave you, because you are my pillar. No matter the estranged relationship we had in the past, I still love you and no one can replace you in my life. So you have to bear with
“ I can't believe Jeff did all that! I knew he was heartless, but how did he turn worse all of a sudden. Thank Goodness I'm alive to see you again. Before we talk about Justin's issue, I want to ask you about someone very important.” Albert did not waste time to regale all the happenings to his mother when she settled in. He wanted to allow her rest for some days, but Juliana couldn't stop asking questions about his father and why he was chasing them.Juliana was baffled at the amount of crime committed by Jeffrey since she had left and she blamed herself for having an affair with a man like him. She even blamed herself for giving Albert a monster as a father, when she heard the torture he went through in the hands of his so-called father. She pledged to do justice to everybody that Jeffrey has hurt, by granting them the support within her powers, especially those that were connected with Her beloved Joy and Albert.“ Who is this person you wanted to ask from me? Do I know him/her?”
Without too much argument, Albert reluctantly agreed to move his mother to Alex's house. He also concurred with Lucas's suggestion that the place would be safe for Juliana.Without wasting much time, He convinced his mother to stay with Alex.“ I'm sure you know Alex, right? He was Jeffrey's adoptive son. But your lover lied to everybody, because Alex is the first son of his younger brother he held captive. Jeffrey and Alex are at loggerheads currently, so he cannot go to his house anyhow. You are safe with him, and you will have an elderly person like you to gist with, because uncle Zach stays with him”Juliana got up to follow Alex to his car as well. She planned to ask about how the secret about Alex's paternity was revealed, but she thought there were some things not to be discussed. “ I hope you will visit me often, you know we need a lot of time to catch up. You need to tell me more about your lifestyle in this place and how you were able to cope with me, " she said as she rubb
Later in the evening, Lilly dressed up as instructed by her husband and they went to the Riverside together. When Lucas parked at the Riverside, she was surprised. Although she trusted her husband in all his decisions, she still needed to ask questions.“ Why did you bring me to the riverbank for training? I thought you brought me out for martial arts training, why here?” She questioned, looking around the quiet area. Before Lucas could answer her question, she had gone out of the car. She twirled around, enjoying the cool serenity of the river. The river wasn't in the middle of the town, her husband took her to the one in the forest. The fresh air, the coolness, the silence and the excellent view of nature were amazing to Lilly.“ It seems someone is enjoying herself already” Lucas joked, then he moved to bring out the wooden crafted swords and real swords from the booth.“ Wow, I love this place. We should come here some other time. At least we will leave behind all our worries at
Lilly staggered backward as she saw the sudden appearance of the river goddess. She had met with her before but her emergence didn't exude as much power as this one.“ I asked you a question, princess? How are you?” The voice echoed again, with a stronger pitch.Lilly was dumbfounded as she saw the figure before her. She wasn't admiring her beauty, nor was she stunned by the light she came with during darkness, but the resemblance she had with her late mother.The smile, the body shape and the facial appearance, all pointed at the late Lilliana Rowland. Lilly got emotional instantly, then she started moving towards the beautiful woman. Not minding the coldness of the water, the depth of the river or the sparking of the light that can affect her eyes, she moved further into the river. Then she called with a whimpering but longing voice, “ Mother? Mom? Is that you?” Lilly cried as she moved closer to touch the woman.“ Yeah, I am your mother because you are the daughter of the goddess,
“ When I analyzed Juliana's story yesterday, I came to a conclusion that Albert might be the true host of the dark magical power since he is the true heir. I am open to any corrections please”Lucas suggested, as they started their meeting at Alex's mansion.Albert became furious, “ Will you stop trying to pin something evil on me? I can't be the true host of a beast. Dave, say something!” “Calm down Albert, it's just a mere analysis” Alex said“ The beast has been a generational curse in the Winifred family. But the good news is that a true heir can tame and manage it successfully, so it won't cause any rukus in the society. The dark lord can also use the power for something good if he wishes. A lady cannot be the host, but can be used as a key for activation. Juliana wasn't a male, so Diego found it difficult to transfer to an heir, that was why he promised Lucifer. Albert is Juliana's son, automatically, he is the true heir. So, Lucas is right.” Dave stated.“ Wow, that's somethin
Everywhere was dark and there was no light in her surroundings. She had been walking aimlessly without any specific direction. She felt tired, drained and exhausted, then she sat angrily on the bare floor. There was no one around and she wasn't aware of where she was, so she was lost.“ I am tired and confused. I don't even know where I am. Is anyone there? Hello! Hello!” Juliana shouted to call the attention of people nearby her location.Noone answered her. She shouted repeatedly countless times, but she didn't hear or see any living entity.“ Am I alone in this place? Have I been neglected? What did I do to deserve being treated like an outcast? What is my offense?” She yelled and her voice echoed through the silent place.When she had almost lost hope, a figure suddenly appeared before her. She couldn't see clearly, but she deduced that the person was a man. Very giant with gray hair and dressed in a dark long regalia.The strange man appearance did not scare her and she had weir
