Everywhere became silent when they heard the name Zach called Alex. Alex was confused but he didn't remove his gaze from Zach.Zach struggled to get up from his previous position, then he dragged himself to give Alex a warm and fatherly hug.“Angelina and I became miserable the day we lost you. She refused to practice her witchy power. All her days were filled with sorrows and she became weak spiritually. This allowed the enemies to penetrate her and this in turn made Lucas's birth difficult for her,” Zach managed to talk amidst tears. He refused to let go of Alex, not until the latter detached himself from him.Alex felt warm with the hug Zach gave him. Nobody had ever sincerely shared that kind of love with him before. He would have stayed longer in Zach's warm embrace but the tight hug had started choking him. Moreover, he needed explanations on the birthmark he saw in Zach's tummy, the exact position the birthmark was placed on his stomach.When they took Zach to the bathroom and
Silence fell into the room, even one could hear the sound of a pin drop. Lucas was tongue-tied when he heard Lilly's words and he was unable to give her any reasonable answer. Lilly had been familiar with his signature since the day he revealed his true identity to her, so she thought the thunder that occurred in their neighborhood was as a result of Lucas's presence.Lucas looked at Dave for help, “ What do you think I should do? Lucifer might have forced himself into Rowland's mansion and harm every living being he found there. Have I not implicated Rowland's family now?” Lucas was jiltering as he spoke.Dave rubbed Lucas's shoulder, “ Lucifer cannot do anything to Lilly or any of her family members, so be rest assured that nothing will happen to them.” He tried to calm Lucas, but Lucas struggled out of his grip.“ Lucifer is already in Rowland's surroundings, it won't take long for him to lose his patience. I need to go there to protect them. I can't allow anyone to die on my behal
It's been four days since Lucifer had repeatedly visited Lucas's penthouse with his scream and ranting, but nobody paid attention to him.Lucas and his members had turned his penthouse to a family house. They wined and dined in his house without carrying out any difficult tasks or having misunderstandings. They lived in peace and harmony. Zach and Lucas had started regaining their strengths and power, so they had hope of conquering any attack in the future.Zach, as the oldest family member and the father figure, was available to answer any questions pertaining to their history and their ancestors. He shared stories and folktales with them every day, and he also inculcated the traits of honesty in them.“ Now that you are here, I will be relieved of most workloads and questions. You were the only one available to teach me some basic things about being a sorcerer, but Lucifer took that away from me at a tender age. The incoming generations asked me a few questions which I was unable to
“ Is that monster still looming around my building?” Lucas asked in anger when the sound from the thunderstorm subdued. The sound was so different that it shook the whole building.“ I don't think he is the one, this sound was different from his signature. This is trying to give us a sign but I cannot place my hands on the reason why this is happening. I will make consultations and give you guys the feedback later. I want everyone to stay indoors, no matter what happens outside, it might be a bait set for us to be dragged outside before the seven days. Let's heed to the warnings please.” Dave responded.They laid low in the house, even after hearing the constant sound of the thunderstorm which was like a torture for three days. The thunderstorm stopped the night of the seventh day, and this proved Dave’s observations. It was a sign of the trouble ahead.Early in the morning of the eight day, the members of the rescue team were all ready to return to their hideouts. Lucas stood to addr
Elena went to visit Lilly in a restaurant three days after their previous encounter. Elena did not sit with the family at the dining table, Lilly was hell bent on not setting her eyes on her anymore, so she warned her to stay away from the gathering.Normally, Alex was supposed to introduce Elena formally to Zach as his wife, but he was also scared of Lilly. He didn't want to spoil her day with his own introduction, so he put it on hold.After the entertainment, the two families sat together to deliberate on the day for the wedding ceremony. Justin had planned to prolong the date, but Lilliana shifted the date nearer; she was eager to witness her only daughter's happy day.Zach went home to live with Lucas after a series of arguments between the two brothers.“ I have every right to accommodate Dad in my house. You have known him as a brother for a very long time even when he wasn't around, but I had no idea of who my real father was, instead, I was deceived to believe Lucifer gave bi
Elena's heart skipped a bit, her heart started beating faster than normal and she began sweating profusely. She was scared of Lilly's condition and she didn't know if she would be able to fulfill her wish.With a big sigh and trembling lips, she finally gazed at Lilly with slight confidence, “ What is the condition?” She asked in fear.Lilly was shocked to see the reaction of her proposition on Elena. She was stunned by her trembling voice and the endless sweat coming out of her body. If she wasn't around to witness this, she wouldn't have believed it. The brave and mighty Elena was afraid of her. She found the reaction interesting, meanwhile, she wasn't that wicked to watch someone suffer. She watched Elena from head to toe, and it was her turn to be scared of the condition she wanted to propose. What she wanted wasn't a difficult task, as viewed by Elena, but it was more like a request. She held the serious look on her face, then she broke the silence lingering in her office.“ Act
“ I don't have the right to dictate for you on this matter. The ball is in your court, so do what is good for you” This was Alex's response when Elena asked for his permission to grant Lilly's wishes.Although Elena always had a say in their marriage, Alex was a bit strict with his orders when he was still Lucifer's son. He wasn't made the Don, but he behaved like some Mafia men who commanded their wives on what to do. He wanted to make things right, so he needed to give Elena the freedom she deserved as a woman. He wanted her to think and do something from her own perspective, not being forced by her husband.Elena smiled at his response, she moved closer to give him a peck, “ I think I am beginning to like this new man you have become. I prefer this to the strict Alex” she complimented.“ You shouldn't think, you should get used to the new me. This is the normal Alex, not the previous one molded by Lucifer. I want us to share ideas as couples, and I don't want you to keep any more
“Some days after Lilly was discharged from the hospital, I started feeling a severe headache and I felt weak easily. I didn't take it seriously until I started experiencing dizziness, so I went to the hospital for a check up. It was detected during the check up that I have blood cancer. I couldn't believe the result because there was no one in my family that had cancer, so I went to the state general hospital. I was devastated when I was referred to an oncologist. My world was crumbling before me. I took a week's permission from you with the excuse of a vacation, but the time was what I needed to reflect on the new discovery about myself. I'm very sorry, honey” Lilliana narrated.Justin held his head firmly, because every word that came out of his wife's mouth sent him an excruciating headache.He removed his hands from his head, then placed one on his chest. His heart pounded in his chest and his vision became blurred, all the systems in his body were destabilized. He saw the signs a
