Chapter 48: LiesAuthor's POVAlaina took Carrissa to an underground room in the palace, only she, Connor and Nicholas knew about this place, it had been their hideout when they were young, but she was certain, neither Connor nor Nicholas would remember to look here, Carrissa's save for the night. With Calvina's help, she took enough food there to last Carrissa for three days, even though she's gonna be leaving there tomorrow and will probably get killed tomorrow, little indulgence doesn't hurt, now does it?.She can atleast let Carrissa believe she's gonna be alive for at least another day after tomorrow."Eww, the heat here's overwhelming!" She exclaimed."At least, it's better than getting killed." Alaina said, glaring at her in the dim light."Whatever" Carrissa said, dusting off a chair, the room is exactly the same way she had left it, except for some dust, nothing much has changed. Alaina thought as she moved about the room, inspecting things."Are you sure this food will las
Chapter 49: I wanted to hate you.Connor's POVI took the underground stairs, two at a time.I threw the door open, and there it was, the basket, this means?Alaina did come here and she brought Carrissa.I looked around the room carefully and quickly, no one's here, but they were here not up to ten minutes ago.Why are they doing this?, why did she help Carrissa escape?Wait, why did I imprison Carrissa?I imprisoned her because she made a plan to separate Ava and I.Why did I imprison Alaina in the first place?.Because she tried to kill Ava.I released her because Ava wanted her out, she came out and helped Carrissa escape.What could they be planing?, they have nothing in common, wait, I imprisoned both of them because they wanted to hurt Ava in some way, so they both have something in common, and if they're both out, it means.... Ava!I swear if they even lay a finger on her, I'll kill them. I thundered upstairs, running like never before."Ava!" I screamed on the top of my voic
Chapter 50: Descendant of our timeAuthor's POV"What!" Cyprian said, he was shocked."I said how was my acting?, I can act can't I?""Because after this, I'm going into acting" Connor stared at her numbly."Don't tell me you're serious" Nicholas asked in disbelief."About Acting?, yeah I'm seriously considering the prospect of becoming an actress" Ava said."You know damn well what I'm talking about." Nicholas said"No I don't" Ava said sitting on the chair with her legs crossed."No, I think you do, does this mean, you don't believe anything she said?" Cyprian asked suspiciously."Not one bit, i dont believe anything she said" Ava said"So....""Yes, I do know Connor, I mean Logan killed his brother and took his name but not because he wanted to, but because that was his mother's last wish and request from him" Ava said rising from her seat."So you know he didn't kill his mother?" Cyprian asked.Nicholas was still trying to process everything that has happened so far."Yeah" Ava s
Chapter 51: You went back in time?Author's POVAlaina's look changed to that of confusion."Excuse me?""I don't quite understand what you're saying, you want me to do what?, kidnap her?" She asked, brows furrowedJaguar stared at her, a smile curling up his lips"I don't care if you kidnap her, I don't even care whatever method you use, I want her here that's all" He replied.His deal is a pretty good one, by getting him Ava, I'll be able to get Connor, I'm sure Carrissa is already dead by now, I need a back up plan anyways and this sounds nice, I don't really care either, I can just Kidnap Ava, it's not a bad idea either, in fact he gave me the perfect idea, Alaina thought."Do we have a deal?" He asked, already knowing her answer.He put out his hand to shake Alaina, she studied his hand only for a second."We do have a deal" She said said, she put forth her hand and he took it in his, holding it less than a second.His hand was very cold, Alaina thought."Since that's out of the
Chapter 52: The Painting (Definitely not a ghost)Ava's POV(Earlier)For a moment, I thought I was imagining the scene before me.I closed my eyes and opened it again.The painting has transformed into something more.... Should I say real?The woman's gentle smile was more alive."This cannot be happening" I whispered under my breathThey were smiling at me, smiling for me."You might want to hold the young master closer your highness" I heard a male voice say gently behind me.I turned around, I saw a man seated behind a board,"It'll make the picture more...lovely" He said, looking straight at me, no straight through.I turned back to see the posed family, then it occurred to me, they were posed for their picture to be painted.So damn hard, in the world I come from, your picture would be taken in less than a second with a camera, and it will be according to the way you want it, but this?, I bet it'll take hours of sitting before it gets done, and the babies are so still, they're n
Chapter 53: The Painting (So much hatred)"How dare you!" I yelled in frustration, I was beginning to begining to hate the man's gut, I never knew he had so much hatred for our race, and the fact that despite all my yelling, they were all acting as if they can't hear or see me, maybe they can't see me, but they can hear me right?I was screaming my lungs out and no one asked who it was or gave me a glance, they must be really deaf or something, I mean how could they..."You do realize Commander, that the race you seek to kill are Powerful Living beings and not some powerless dogs like you said" King Lucian Stated, Amusement written on his face, King James hatred obviously amused him."Exactly!" I said in acceptance of what he said, how can King James think like that?, his mind is muddy and his head is not in the right place, like we're weak commodities to be Cleared of market simply because the seller decides it. We're not mindless creatures, nobody owns us."That's the problem your h
Chapter 54: Connor is Logan?"Because, dear brother I'm Smarter and all the girls love me" A male voice said, pride evident in his voice.I turned around and saw the dining room, Sunlight spilled into the room, uhn?, how come I'm here?, then it came to me, I'm here because I wished for it.Just by thinking of it or saying it, I just kinda get transported, is that how I got into the painting?, Of course!, Oh my gosh, while I was standing before the painting, I had thought, woah what a great family, I wish I was able to meet the lovely woman In the painting, and see if she's as nice as she looks, then I was able to see her.Then later I wished to see her and the kids, then again I was transported, later I wanted to see what the kids look like when they're older, and I saw them and now?, I'm able to see them in their teen years, which was exactly what I wanted!.Seated at the table were 8 or 10 people, the king, I mean Lucian, I figured it out by now, I guess he's Connor's father, he w
Chapter 55: Conspiracy A male figure stood before the fire place with his hands folded behind him, I could barely make out his Silhouette in the darkness, the only source of light in the room was the fire place, and he was standing before it at the moment.I glanced around the room, I was surprised at first, to see Zeres relaxing in a chair, then it clicked together, if Zeres is here, then the man standing before the fire is definitely Connor's twin, and if they're talking about the King's death, then I'm sure they've done something nasty, and they're up to no good."The poison worked?" He asked Zeres."It's one of a kind boy, it's bound to work, even on a being as powerful as him" Zeres replied smiling smugly."What have you done to the king you rat heads!" I yelled at them, not that they can hear me or anything, but I was so angry that I wanted to slam their heads together.The figure before the fire started laughing suddenly."Good Commander, you're so goddamn good, I didn't think
