LOGINADONAI'S POVMy heart was heavy, just by seeing her enter the police station, roughhandled by the men."Where is the corpse!" they yelled at her. "Did you hide it so that you can hide your crimes?" She looked back at me, but I couldn't do anything. I pushed him to the police's turf anyway. I shook my head and turned back. Through the helmet. I connected with my men who work for Kieran. I wanted to surprise Balqis with their existence on the day we finally bring Kieran down but I guessed I failed. "Why did you take her back to the police station, Gamma? They would torture her almost to death!" My cheek tightened. "This was for the best. It's a game over if Kieran finds out I was Edward Blueseal. He will want to find out who Edward is now that Bally is imprisoned." The men were silent. I crossed the last bridge leading to the 7-star hotel where I was lodging, and several cars were outside. The security guards at the entrance, who had always welcomed us, were different now. I laug
BALQIS'S POVJulius got me again.Police flooded the penthouse, and I was in handcuffs before I could even blink. Onika was dead on the floor, and everything carried my fingerprints. Nirvana, Sheila, Alpha Elon, and the children were all stunned when we got downstairs. Riot insisted. "My mommy didn't kill her." I wished I wouldn't cry — show Kieran that I would bounce back, but my son was called the murderer's son again.Isis ran to me before we could leave the mansion. "Miss Balqis?" This was the first time she would see me after I came back.I looked away. How could I face my daughter after three months of my supposed death and that too in handcuffs?We were at the fountain while residents cursed me. The police were packing Onika's body. "How could she be so mean?""Luna Onika hosted a funeral for her, how did she kill him so wickedly?" I hung my head low in tears, the whole world crushing down on me at once. Kieran put a hand on the wheelers bringing Onika out of the elevator
THIRD PERSON POV -A DAY BEFORE THE FOUNDING CEREMONY-Kieran ran his hand through his hair angrily and confusedly."Something is definitely wrong!" He banged his hand on the table for the umpteenth time. He'd been conversing with Rhoda on the phone about everything needed and how the founding day would go with Edward's presence.But something still felt terribly wrong and he couldn't decode what it was or where it had gone wrong.He paced up and down the study again, thinking about everything since the day Balqis died. "Even if she came back alive, how could she be working for Edward?" hr stopped, looked at himself in the mirror reflection. "Where could Adonai be hiding if Balqis is out here?" He frowned again, looking at himself. This wasn't his real face or his real body, yet he was still Julius and his memory and blood are the same."Could it be that..." he paused, wondering how something was possible.Why was Nirvana genuinely concerned about who Rhoda was and was always refe
THIRD-PERSON POV THAT SAME DAY—12 AM AT MOSES'S MANOR Kieran slammed his palm to the table angrily and fiercely, making Nirvana and Moses stagger. "You pathetic sinners!" Nirvana swallowed. "I'm sure it's Balqis! She must have come back to take revenge on every one of us." "Revenge?" Kieran scoffed wildly. "Do you know what you're saying right now? Are you drunk?" Nirvana and Moseas already knew he would crash out like this on them since they left the hotel and he insisted on going to Mose's Manor instead of the mansion. His hand was shaking in fear as if he were really scared or wondering, what if Balqis were really alive? Would he be able to survive it? The woman he saw really looked so much like the Baliqs he always knew since she was 18. The only difference was that this one looked fierce, a woman that has nothing to lose, rather than the Balqis that would hesitate before doing anything in the part, fearing anything would happen to her son. "What are the possibilities tha
BALQIS'S POVIt felt so relaxing to watch Nirvana and Moses's petrified state. The new identity as Rhoda Wolfe must serve well. "You....You're Rhoda?" Keiran's voice trembled. Seeing him so scared, I got the confidence to continue. "Mr Blueseal would love to work with you on the Sheba project, but anything you need discussing with him must pass through me" None of them could move, Nirvana was still and cold, and her eyeballs was shaking. "Why are you three quiet like you saw a ghost?" Keiran snapped back to himself. "You look so much like someone we know in the past. So, shall we proceeded to the business?" I didn't reply that quickly, I watched as Nirvana clumsily got up. "I... I can't stay here. I need..." "Sit right there!" Keiran's order was sharp. "Why would you be flustered in a business meeting?" She shakily sat down but doesn't dare to look me in the face. Perhaps this wasn't a bad idea like I thought it was.Making her understand what it means to lose yourself shal
CHAPTER 47 THIRD PERSON POV THE NEXT DAY AT BALQIS’S MEMORIAL SERVICE HOSTED BY LUNA ONIKA AND RIOT "Such a handsome boy." Someone lamented sadly. Onika and Riot bowed in accordance with each guest, not replying to anyone. Sheila watched as Isis stood aside, trying to stand with Riot too but couldn't get closer. “Can you try to be a mother for once and help Isis stay close to his brother?” Nirvana said, walking up to Sheila. "You're raising Balqis's daughter why are you eyeing her tabloid with such disdain?" Sheila scoffed. "I should ask you that, Principal Nirv. Balqis is your sister and you came to her remembrance with an orange wig?" "I don't care, just like you don't care, Sheila" The two of them stood aside and watched as people bowed to Balqis's photo on the funeral altar and to Riot. Sheila heaved a long sigh after a while. "I deeply miss Mage. That boy looks so much like him that it bothers me. I wished he were mine" "Between you and me, can you stop lying?"
THIRD PERSON POV At the school, Nirvana paced up and down like a caged giant, looking at Edward's character profile on the tablet before her. She stopped for a second, and analyzed something…“If he were a hybrid…. Does that mean he's immortal too?” She rushed to her seat so she could search abo

I turned around, “Wait, what?” His voice was frank and straightforward, like he wasn’t asking for my opinion. He continued. “I brought a lot of money and I…..” “Did you take me for a prostitute?” I cut through his words. Anger boiling from the depths of my heart. “Are you blind to even see that
