Chapter 32

Lyra's POV

I hated how I'd been rendered speechless a little too much these days. It happened more often than I liked, and one would think that somehow, I was getting used to it, but I was wrong.

Very very wrong.

Time seemed to slow around us, and I wouldn't say I blamed it one bit. I'd realized that every bit of my life could easily be referred to something straight out of a TV show, and this could very well be one of it. For the next couple of seconds, no one dated to speak.

Not me, not the servant that had brought the message, not Xavier. While me and the guard were quiet because we had no idea what the message meant for us, I could very well tell that Xavier was boiling with anger.

I wasn't a mind reader, but I wouldn't be surprised if the man was already cooking up a plan that would bring Xander back to his knees again, and in the worst way possible this time.

“You may leave.” Someone's gruff voice was all ot took to pull me out of my thoughts. I blinked back to

  • A night with my ex-husband’s step brother    Chapter 31

    Lyra's POV The first thing I noticed the moment I peeled my eyes open was the sunlight spilling into the room. The morning sun broke gently over the palace, the golden spill of sunlight filtering through the velvet drapes. It was cozy and comfy, and I marveled at the fact that if warmed the marble floors beneath my bare feet. The air smelled of lavender and citrus, with hints of freshly polished wood and blossoming lilies drifting in from the gardens. Safe to say the sight in front of me was nothing short of a fairytale, but just as the memory of something sweet came, reality came crushing down on me again.I'd agreed to Xavier's ball, and not just that, I'd agreed to attend it by his side too. Shit. The mere thought of it was more than enough to start a headache that had no business in my head, but there was nothing I could do about it. Whether I liked to admit it or not, I'd agreed to it, and I doubted Xavier was going to take it lightly that I wanted to go back on my decis

  • A night with my ex-husband’s step brother    Chapter 30

    Lyra's POV Life had a funny way of steering you in the directions you least expected to see yourself, and the worst part of it all? There was usually little to nothing you could do about it. Take me for example. If someone had come to me with a prophecy, that I was going to go back to the man who had commanded that Emily's hair be chopped off, and had sent my bracelet alongside Emily's hair as a message to Xander, after witnessing all he'd done, then best believe I would have laughed so hard, the person would have had to tuck his tail in between his feet, just so he could lessen the burden of being embarrassed. But right now, I was slowly seeing that fate had a twisted way of telling a joke, and today, I was her main subject. The scent of burning cedar curled in the air, lingering as I stepped into his chamber. I could swear I'd been in here before, but tonight, it felt different. Like the night, the ambience and what not, made it an entirely different location. “I wasn't sure

  • A night with my ex-husband’s step brother    Chapter 29

    Chapter 29Lyra’s POV The air outside Xavier’s office was too still, and I hated it. It was too quiet and too thick with something I just couldn’t name. Guilt maybe,or was it disgust ? No, no. not just that. There was something else, but no matter how hard I tried to put a finger to it, it just seemed to slip past my mind and fingers. My gaze darted back to the door. I'd been staring at it for a while now, and at this point, it was simply a miracle how both the guard and Xavier hadn't come out yet. I'd caught them packing the message they wanted to deliver to Xander, and they were just about done with it when I saw them,, so what could the delay be all about? Were they adding more things to send back to Xander? If yes, a small part of me couldn't help but wonder what it was. On second thought, even if I did get the chance to find out what Xavier was up to, I doubted I wanted any part in it. The universe must have heard my cry because barely seconds after I'd complained about

  • A night with my ex-husband’s step brother    Chapter 28

    Chapter 28Lyra’s POV I didn’t move. I couldn't. Not when I'd just witnessed one of the most gruesome things I could ever think of, well in my books that Is. I'd heard that different people had different levels and things they considered immoral or simply wrong. I wasn't an overly moral person, but I liked to pride myself on the fact that I did good and the right things more times than I could count. Occasionally, I'd been told my good heart and beliefs would only get me into trouble, but I'd never paid them any mind, not until now, and now that this nagging feeling was chewing away at my insides, I couldn't help but feel like the scene I'd just witnessed had crossed the moral tolerance I held dear, and by an extremely long margin too. Shit. I forced my body to react, to do something, but no matter how hard I tried, it just didn't budge. I didn't move when Xavier stepped away from Emily, not when the guard scooped up the limp bundle of severed hair from the floor, before stuff
