Chapter: 027In another part of the city, Rose walked home with two heavy bags hanging from her hands. Every step showed how tired she was. After she had finished cooking the meal for Elara and Kael, she left a short note on the table and went straight out to buy food items. She needed to get back as fast as possible so she could prepare something for her little brother. Ryan was only five, maybe younger. If she didn’t feed him, the boy would starve. Their father never cared enough to do it himself.Rose Cole had been sixteen when her mother, Abigail, died giving birth to Ryan. After the funeral, Mr. Cole only got worse. Even while Abigail was still alive, he used to come home drunk and beat her almost every night. Rose had always believed the endless blows during the pregnancy were part of what killed her mother in the delivery room.From sixteen, she started working part-time, taking any shift she could find just to keep herself and Ryan alive. Their father never gave them money. Instead, he too

Chapter: 026When I stepped inside the house, the quiet hit me first. Kael wasn’t home yet. The absence settled over my shoulders like a temporary truce. I went straight upstairs, peeled off the still-damp clothes that clung to my skin, and changed into something dry before heading back down to the dining table.Rose had left a full spread waiting, steam still rising faintly from a couple of the dishes, and a short note propped against a glass. She needed to take care of something. I read it twice, set it aside, and ate my meal.Afterward I returned to my room, settled at the study desk, and forced my attention onto the homework. Time slipped. At some point the low growl of an engine pulled my head up. I stood, crossed to the window, and eased the curtain aside just enough to see. Kael’s car sat in the driveway. He leaned against the driver’s door, head bowed over his phone. For a few seconds I simply watched the familiar, unwelcome shape of him. Then his head started to lift. I let the curtain f

Chapter: 025But the guy didn’t step aside. Instead, he closed the last bit of space between us and drove his palm hard into the center of my chest, the impact sharp enough to rock me back half a step. I stared at him, the question already forming behind my teeth—what the hell was wrong with him—when he spoke again, voice low and tight.“Why did you do that to her?”The look he threw me was pure, unfiltered anger. I dragged a rough hand through my hair, forcing the rising heat in my blood back down before it decided to put him on the ground.“I don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about,” I said, “so get the hell out of my way before I lose it.”“Don’t act like you don’t know. It’s about Elara. Why do you keep hurting her?” He almost shouted the last part.A short, humorless sound left my throat. I pinched the bridge of my nose, then dropped my hand and looked straight at him again.“Whatever I did to her is none of your business. Stay the hell out of it. She lives under my roof, and I have eve

Chapter: 024When the driver pulled up at the school parking lot, I stepped out and almost immediately caught sight of Damon climbing out of his own car a few spaces away. The second our eyes met, he lifted a hand in a casual wave, and something in my chest loosened the way it always did when I saw him, that quiet, unexplainable ease, like the day had been holding its breath until this exact moment. He didn’t waste time crossing the asphalt toward me, long strides eating up the distance until he was close enough that the morning light caught the edge of his jaw.“Elara…” Her name left his mouth softly, then died the instant his gaze landed on the white bandage at my temple. He closed the last step between us and reached up, fingertips brushing the gauze with a care so light it barely registered as pressure, yet the warmth of his skin still seeped through the thin fabric. His eyes darkened, the usual calm in them tightening into something sharper.“He did this to you again.” It wasn’t really a ques

Chapter: 023After sitting in the living room for a while, I picked up my pack of cigarettes and started walking upstairs. As I passed Elara’s room on my way to mine, I paused in front of her door and leaned closer, listening for any sound. I couldn't hear her crying anymore. The room was completely silent, which made me wonder if she had finally fallen asleep.Slowly, I pushed the door open and peeped inside. She was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, tears still staining her cheeks. It seemed she had fallen asleep while crying. I pushed the door wider and stepped inside, making sure not to make any noise that might wake her. Walking quietly towards the bed, I stopped beside it and glanced down at her. A small amount of blood was still coming from the wound on her head, and I couldn't help wondering how stubborn she could be to fall asleep without even bothering to wipe the blood away or treat the injury.I frowned at her, wishing I could simply throw her out of the window and be done with he

Chapter: 022When I got home, I parked the car. The girl got out and followed as I led her into the house. Inside, the place was empty. I’d already seen the car that was supposed to pick up Elara sitting in the parking lot, so I knew she was home, probably upstairs in her room. I walked over to the speaker, turned the music on loud, then went back and sat down.I looked at the girl still standing by the door, chewing her gum. I waved her over. She catwalked toward me in a deliberately sexy way, dropped her bag on the table, and smiled at me. I didn’t return the smile.Slowly she sank to her knees in front of me. I caged her between my legs as she lifted her hand and began rubbing my cock through my clothes, squeezing and stroking with slow, deliberate pressure. She kept at it while I closed my eyes and let myself sink into the sensation, using it to push the rest of my problems out of my head for a while.After a while, she started unzipping my trousers. Once she had them open, she took my cock in

Chapter: 116. MarriageThree months later………….The garden at Liam Mansion was fully decorated in a way that looked almost unreal, like something taken straight out of a dream. A long ivory aisle stretched beautifully through the center of the garden, bordered carefully on both sides with low arrangements of fresh white roses mixed with soft ivory flowers. Thin gold lanterns stood neatly beside the pathway, glowing. White and blush pink rose petals were scattered gently across the walkway. On both sides of the aisle, rows of perfectly arranged chairs were occupied by guests dressed completely in white, making the entire place look pure and heavenly. The scent of fresh flowers filled the air, while soft instrumental music played quietly in the background.At the end of the aisle stood the altar, a large floral arch made from white roses, ivory peonies, and hanging greenery that draped down gently like vines. Tiny crystal lights were woven carefully around the arch. Standing there was Liam, dressed in a per

Chapter: 115. I came back to you.The entire kingdom suddenly burst with light once again. Golden rays spread across the sky, pushing away every trace of darkness that had covered the Kingdom of Light. The cold atmosphere slowly disappeared, replaced by warmth and life. The glowing towers shone brightly again. One after another, the people who had been frozen slowly came back to life. Gasps echoed across the kingdom as movement returned to their bodies. Some looked around in confusion, while others stared at the glowing light above them in shock.Alina stood there speechless, her eyes filled with happiness as she watched the once dying kingdom return to its beautiful state. The darkness that had nearly destroyed everything was finally gone.A voice suddenly called out behind her.“Alina…”Alina immediately turned around. Liora was staring at her with widened eyes, completely unfrozen now. For a moment, she remained frozen in shock as though she couldn’t believe what she was seeing. Then suddenly, Liora rushed toward

Chapter: 114. You carry the Devil’s son within your womb.Alina’s soul had been wandering ever since it left her body. She stood alone in a dark, endless space, surrounded by nothing but emptiness. There was no sky above her, no ground beneath her feet.She didn’t know how long she had been walking. Time no longer existed there, yet no matter how far she walked, she saw nothing ahead of her. After wandering for what felt like forever, Alina finally stopped moving. Her legs felt weak, tears slowly filled her eyes as she remembered Liora’s warning. “If your soul does not return to the Kingdom of Light, it will wander endlessly forever.”A broken sob escaped her lips as she slowly fell to her knees. Her trembling hands pressed against her chest while tears streamed endlessly down her face. “Why…” she whispered weakly into the darkness. “Why is fate still so cruel to me?” Even after sacrificing herself… even after leaving behind the man she loved most… she still could not find peace. The thought of Liam shattered her heart all over again. More

Chapter: 113. prepare for your death.Felix rushed toward Liam, who was kneeling on the floor, holding Alina’s lifeless body tightly against his chest. Tears streamed endlessly down Liam’s face as broken sobs escaped his lips, his entire body trembling. Around them, the cave burned violently, flames spreading across the walls and ceiling. Smoke filled the air, making it difficult to breathe, while pieces of rock cracked and fell from above. Yet Liam did not move. It was as if the world around him no longer existed. The only thing he could see was Alina’s pale face resting against him.“Liam! Get the fuck up! We need to leave this place right now!” Felix shouted desperately as he grabbed Liam by the shoulder and tried to pull him up. But Liam refused to move. He remained on his knees. To him, there was no reason to survive anymore. The girl he loved more than his own life was gone. The future he dreamed of with her had been ripped away in the cruelest way possible.“Liam!” Felix yelled again, louder this time, trying hard

The impact cracked the stone behind her, and blood slipped from the corner of her lips as her head hit the wall painfully. Her vision spun weakly, and for a moment, everything around her became blurry. Her staff flew out of her hand and landed far away across the cave floor.Lady Velkrian dropped heavily onto the ground, breathing painfully as she tried to catch her breath. Her entire body ached from Liam’s relentless attacks. She lifted her head and saw Liam already preparing another strike. Dark red power danced wildly around his hands while his glowing eyes stared at her coldly.Before she could even move away, Liam released the attack.The blast struck Lady Velkrian directly and sent her crashing flat onto the rocky floor again. Pain shot through her entire body as she coughed weakly. Still, despite the pain, she forced herself to lift her head and glare at him with hatred.“You son

“You are the only thing that can calm my beast… and that is exactly why you must never love me.”

Chapter: 33. Let’s run away.Slowly, Evelina’s face hardened, her eyes narrowing as she stared at Serena. Her hands curled into fists at her sides, and her jaw muscles tightened as she took a few steps toward her daughter. Before Serena could react, Evelina raised her hand and slapped her hard across the face.“Mother!” Serena cried out, her hand flying immediately to her cheek.But Evelina slapped her again before she could say anything else.“You do not speak to me in that manner!” Evelina shouted. “I am your queen and your mother, and you will show me respect.”Serena stood there with her head turned to the side from the force of the slap. Her fingers slowly touched the side of her face, and she blinked several times as tears gathered in her eyes.Evelina stared at her, her chest rising and falling heavily.“I killed your father because he was weak, and I have never liked weak people around me,” she said, her voice filled with bitterness. “And if you dare push me any further, you will end up just like him.”Se

Chapter: 32. I want his wife to be mine.In Velmora Kingdom, inside Prince Ezekiel’s chamber, he lay on the bed while the maids around him cleaned his wounds. One of them carefully applied medicine around his neck where Lucien had grabbed him during the fight.Ezekiel’s face had been dark with anger ever since he returned from Lunarius. His jaw remained tense as the memory of what happened at the festival replayed in his mind.He couldn’t forget how Lucien had embarrassed him. He had gone to Lunarius to have some fun and, of course, to provoke Lucien. He wanted to see how far he could push his cousin, just as he had done many times before. But this time, Lucien had nearly killed him.Ezekiel let out a hot breath as his fingers curled against the sheets.How dare he?He had never expected Lucien to actually put his hands around his neck and use his magic against him in front of everyone. He would make Lucien pay for what he had done.But there was something else he couldn’t get out of his mind.The woman standing beside Lucie

Chapter: 31. I didn't think I loved her.“I only came to have a conversation with her, and she poured wine on my dress. She just ruined my dress,” Seraphina said, as more tears flowed down her cheeks.I watched as Lucien’s eyes turned dark when they fell on me. The look in his eyes made my heart drop, and for a moment, it felt like he was going to kill me right there.“She is lying. I didn’t do it,” I said, hoping he would believe me, even though deep down, I knew he probably wouldn’t.“Why would I be lying? People saw you when you did it, right?” she asked, turning toward the people standing around us.“Yes,” the people answered.I knew they were lying, but they still decided to agree with Seraphina and make me look like a liar.My eyes remained on Lucien, wondering what he was going to do now. I just hoped he wouldn’t punish me by sending me back to that iron room. I really didn’t want to go there again.“Silence,” Lucien said coldly, and the people immediately went quiet.“Apologize to her. Now,” Lucien ordered, pointing

Chapter: 30. Why would the Queen do that?Evelyn POVI watched my husband walk away with another woman to dance with her. When Seraphina turned and stared at me, I knew exactly what she was doing. She wanted to make me feel bad, and Lucien had given her the perfect chance by agreeing to dance with her.Not that I cared about whom he decided to dance with.At least, that was what I kept telling myself. But deep down, I knew that wasn't true.When Lucien had held me in his arms earlier and made me look directly into his eyes, something strange had happened. For those few moments, I had forgotten everything. I forgot the suffering I had gone through in this castle, the pain he had caused me, and all the reasons I had once wanted nothing more than to escape from him. All I could see was my husband standing in front of me. The man who had held me so carefully when I almost fell. The man whose eyes had looked into mine and made the entire hall disappear for a moment.I must be out of my mind to think that way.How could I forget ev

Chapter: 29. Look at me.Lucien POVAs I placed my hand around Evelyn's waist and began guiding her across the dance floor, my eyes remained fixed on her face. The music slowly faded into the background until I could barely hear it anymore. The hundreds of people surrounding us became nothing more than blurred figures, and the only person I could clearly see was the woman standing in my arms. I couldn't explain what was happening inside me. It was a strange feeling, one I had never experienced before, and I didn't like it. This was the first time I had ever danced with my wife. None of my previous brides had lived long enough to see another sunrise, let alone stand beside me at a festival while music played around us. They had all died before they ever had the chance to experience something as simple as this. Yet Evelyn was still here... alive, breathing, standing so close to me that I could feel every small movement she made. She looked so fragile in my arms, and somehow that made the moment feel even more u

Chapter: 28.. How dare you touch my wife?The moment I heard what Lucien had just said, I quickly turned to him in complete shock, my eyes widening as I tried to process his words. Did he really just say Ezekiel could have me? Was he being serious right now, or was this some cruel joke? My mind refused to believe what I had just heard. I was his wife... wasn't I? Even if he didn't love me, how could he simply give me away to another man as though I were some worthless object?No. I couldn't go with him. Not now. Not when I had already made plans to escape from this castle.Just as tears began gathering in my eyes, threatening to spill down my cheeks in front of everyone, I suddenly saw Lucien slowly rise from his throne. His face remained cold and unreadable, but there was something different about the way he carried himself. Without saying a single word, he began walking toward me with long, steady steps. I didn't know what he was planning to do, but I remained frozen where I stood. I quickly blinked back my tears, refusing
