Chapter: 70Iris's p.o.v.-----The tunes for Unconditionally by Katy Perry was being played so softly by the DJ and it's lull filled the entire hall.The room was slightly beginning to get filled up by business associates, family members and even the press.Clicks from cameras and chatters from people engaged in discussions were prominent in the enclosed space, filling the area with excitement and buzz.I stood at the entrance and surveyed the black and blue themed hall in awe and gloom. Claudette has really got a top notch style.I had already handed Louie to Jenny so she could prepare to be the 'flower girl' and now I regret it cause I have no company.I engaged in a little chat with Guillermo a few minutes ago before I entered the hall but he had to leave so he can go get the priest.No sign of the bride and groo

Chapter: 69Iris's p.o.v." Mommy am I going to be okay?" Louisa asks as I tuck her in.We had finally arrived home after a brief, suspiciously quiet, tiring drive.Seriously, the silence made the journey longer than it should." Yes baby but the doctor said for you to be okay, all you have to do is sleep, eat, draw and sleep some more" I answered with a smile." Yaaaay" she cheered but it ached my heart when I heard how weak it sounded." Go to sleep cupcake" I whispered and placed a soft kiss on her forehead." Mmmmm" she moaned softly and slowly shut her eyes in an attempt to fall asleep.I noticed her little winks and sighs and unknowingly, a chuckle escaped my lips and I began using my thumb to trace her plump cheek outline." Mommy, what about daddy?" Huh!?

Chapter: 67Iris's p.o.v.————— After a while of thinking and consideration, Claudette and I decided to make the proposal party a small one. I personally wanted it smaller than that, possibly just two people and a ring but Claudette does know how to throw a fit. So we chose his office as the venue and invited a few people asides from his employees. Edward, Guillermo, Claudette, Mrs Reid and her children ( well except Meredith and of course Michelle ) and some business partners he was particularly fond of. Mrs Reid took it as a point of duty to invite some of Meredith's friends. That also, I saw no use for.Nine o'clock pm sharp. It's time for Michelle to walk into her surprise." Hu

On my way to the office this morning Mr Reid gave me a phone call saying he had important information for me.And the rest seems like history.Currently I was in my car, driving down to the restaurant he'd chosen for the meeting and my heart is pounding so loudly in my ears.Okay, I know I said I'd given up on everything but for some reason I still feel the need to save my life.Survival instincts right?Why the hell is the journey taking so long?I had to

Chapter: 65Third person p.o.v.It was a few minutes to three am but she hadn't winked a slumber, she looked to her side to ensure her baby was tucked in safe and sound.She sighed softly and turned to her side to try catching some sleep.After a few minutes of squeezing her eyes to no avail, she had to figure out what was wrong with her.No..She knew exactly what's wrong. Ever since Hunter had come home looking so sad and crestfallen, she hadn't felt so comfortable.Her little thought told her that it had something to do with Mr Reid and the deal, probably Mr Reid hadn't agreed with the terms.If that were to be the case then Hunter is really doomed, he can't get any backing or financial support to pay off the debts.He was left to the fate of some drug Lord's somewhere around the world.But th

Chapter: I believe🎶 tough times don't last But tough people do 🎶I BELIEVE - DJ KHALED FT DEMI LOVATO.I was back at the reception area sitting quietly with hopes of waking up any moment from this nightmare.Mom helped me walk out of the room as the doctor began removing appliances and connections attached to Jan's body. And I was in no mood to argue. Dad was sitting by my side all this while as I held onto him for comfort. I had already asked him quite a number of times if I was dreaming but I received a negative reply. Then I changed my course.I asked if he was dreaming instead.Trying hard not to laugh, he also gratified me with a negative answer. So I accepted my fate and maintained silence. Except if this is Mom's dream though.

Chapter: AUTHORS FINAL NOTE!FINALLY!!The BULLIED series has come to an end.I want to thank all those who supported me throughout this book and waited till the end… I love you all so much.I always said “I would never support rape” and this is me still saying that I do not support it.I had an idea and a plot, I was inspired by an article I found on Stockholm syndrome… that was why I found the Book 1 necessary to be written, so you can see the back story.I also added other character lives because I would love to be doing spin offs and I wouldn’t want to begin it with back stories of characters you already knew.I was really young when I started this book, with a lot of ideas for it but so little skill hence I wasn’t able to describe some scenes or emotions the way I had it in my head but this only goes to say I would be editing this book from the beginning.I actually thought it was a good idea to not write the main concep

Its been years and I never thought a day like this would actually ever come.Flashbacks from nights before kept re-occurring in my head, like possibly it was all a dream and someone would come wake me to ask “Are you okay?”But it seemed like everyone was also lost in the dream, in

It wasn’t quite long before she felt a hand on her left shoulder and she jumped in fright but calmed her nerves after she saw it was the driver she had been looking for.“What’s going on? How do we get out of here???” she asked as her lips and arms were trembling.Othniel placed a finger on his lips and whispered a littleshhh“follow me”At first, she wondered where he thought he was headed but she wasn’t given enough time to wonder as he pulled her to her feet and ran into one of the dressing rooms.The moment they were in, he jammed the door shut behind them and began searching the entire

Sword of blood
Marina had spent her life clawing against poverty, illness, and desperation. With her mother and brother gravely unwell and her family barely surviving, she makes a dangerous choice.
To become a royal consort.
Trading her body and freedom for the power to save the people she loves. It is not romance she seeks, but leverage.
King Xanthanius was murdered by betrayal and brought back from the dead by a single, fatal error made during his killing. Immortal but incomplete, half of his life force was stolen, leaving his resurrection imperfect and his existence unstable. Determined to reclaim what was taken, he rules with calculated cruelty and a singular obsession.
Restoring his immortality at any cost.
When Marina enters his court as a consort, Xanthanius initially sees her as nothing more than a crowd to his space then a disposable pawn, useful for navigating political traps and accomplishing delicate tasks beneath a King’s notice. But Marina is not as expendable as he assumes. Her presence is an untold key to the missing half of his immortality. She is tied to the very power Xanthanius needs to survive.
Bound by mutual exploitation, desire, and distrust, Marina and Xanthanius use each other to pursue their own ends until ambition blurs into intimacy and manipulation gives way to something far more dangerous.
Because falling in love with Marina may cost Xanthanius the immortality he’s willing to kill for and Marina must decide whether saving her family is worth destroying the man she’s come to care for.

Chapter: Chapter 37”You think you have found the answer? Or has the answer found you?”Marina “I have barely gotten to know you. Trust is a far fetched concept” he said. Not saying no, but giving a reason it was not a yes.“You know my name is Marina Revlasor. You know I am the daughter of a haymaker, Koltko Revlasor. You know my family is poor and that is why I am here. You know my loyalty lies in the contract I have with your authority and I am under an agreement to not divulge anything from within this castle perimeters”“I also know you have green eyes, black hair, an attitude around me most of the time and an ability to disguise fear as unconcern” he added, the last part seemed too weird for him to have noticed.“I did try my best to withhold my attitude but I hate being commanded”He lifted a brow in slight amusement “The point is, this information is still not enough”“What else would you want to know?” I gave him some time to answer but when he did not, I carried on “If I share what I have with

Chapter: Chapter 36”Hecates, Wreath and Diamond have aligned in the stars”Xanthanius Frankelis walked out feeling elated. Things were going well for her role. That was at least some good news in this country.I began last night to draft the response to Xialara. It was an invitation to her country which I duly accepted. The letter in front of me required finishing touches which I had been thinking of when the door to the meeting hall opened.It was Marina. Pushing the paper aside, I stood to my feet and watched her approach. “Your highness” she said with a curtsy and I was almost tempted to tell her to skip her pretense.“How are you feeling today?” “Better. May I have a seat?” “Definitely”She takes the chair which Frankelis had just left empty less than ten minutes ago and she turned to me.“Hope you are well too?” If it was a display of manners because I had asked her first or if she was truly concerned, I had no idea.I still remained standing.“Yes.” There was a reason she came here and I need

Chapter: Chapter 35“To be or not to be, you have no choice in it”MarinaThe woman sat on a big rock that looked entirely out of place in the pine tree forest that we were in.“Here to show me more weird children in the middle of nowhere?” I asked. I knew these dreams meant something, but I am too tired of unanswered questions and puzzles.Every one had a mystery that I somehow had to take part in but no one was explaining it to me.“You went looking for something today. It would have cost you your life” she said as she stood from her rock of comfort and walked in my direction.“You can see into my reality?” The last time I had a hint she could was when we had the conversation where I called the castle my home and she reiterated the statement with sarcasm.A conversation I did not dwell upon.“No. Let’s go quickly, it’s about to start” and she led the way.I had a strong gut feeling that she was lying about her answer but I was exhausted. So I just followed her instead.We did not walk for long before w

Chapter: Chapter 34”Materials, Methods, Men and Money, are all you need”MarinaThe smell of sweat, malt and barley struck my nose so heavily because I was unprepared. Subconsciously, my left hand flew to my nostrils to act as a filter.It did nothing to help by the way.Millions of conversations were taking place at the same time. The boisterous crowd was early deafening. Sometimes I wondered if they even heard themselves speak or if it was just a display where someone’s mouth moved and the rest laughed in unison just to get another bottle of beer paid for.I clutched the sack of coins in my right hand tighter, lest anyone dragged it away after noticing what it contained and I went straight for the bar.Usually, the stools directly in front of the bar were occupied by lone rangers. People who came to drink away their sorrows and soliloquize in semi-solitude.Colliding with a few half drunk men was normal when walking through Eclaris. I just had to make sure I did not trip and fall over from the moment

Chapter: Chapter 33”There comes a time when the song is perfect, but before then all you hear are the mistakes”MarinaI stared at my reflection in the mirror as I applied a little powder on my nose.My eyes looked swollen, like I had been crying. What I really lacked, was sleep.Shutting my eyes last night felt like a punishment. Each time I closed my eyes today, the dream I had danced behind my eyelids.The woman who had escorted me in my last dream, or best described as a nightmare, was here again.“Are you like a spirit guide from the gods or something?” I asked, coming to full acceptance that she was the only one who could hear me.Even though sometimes she pretended like she could not.But I could see through that facade now.“See me as a friend” she said, and began leading me to another destination.This did not feel like a dream. It felt like a fragment of reality that only I could see and witness.I was led over a bridge made of bricks and wooden railings that had seen the wear and tear of year

Chapter: Chapter 32”Visions and dreams will fill the void when the hour is nigh and time deployed”Xanthanius I placed the letter from Xialara back in its envelope and pushed it into the nearest drawer. Telling myself I would get to reply when I retired for the day.Adjusting the collar of my dark brown suit, I walked out of the room and locked the door. Slipping one key into my back pocket and handing the second to the guard down the hallway. The scar on my chest was beginning to sting again but it was very ignorable. For now, Anthonier and I needed to meet with Granj.We were more desperate for the guard to heal now more than ever. He needed to tell us what had actually happened.I weaved my way through the halls and arrived at the clinic. Ascending to the second floor above where we usually convened. Anthonier was yet to arrive but Granj just slipped out of one of the cubicles with a smile.“Your Highness. A pleasure to have you here once again” he said, he held a clipboard and a pen in one of his
