The rays of the sun beamed through the windshield of the car. Lucius shifted on his seat as he could feel the heat gently caressing his skin. He opened his eyes and blinked when the light met him. He went out of the car and tossed the blazer to his seat. Victoria was sleeping peacefully and had her back turned against him. Lucius frowned at what he’s done to the family.
Emily needs me.
Lucius closed the door walked back to the hospital by himself. He needed not to check himself in the mirror. All he
Emily held the bouquet of flowers in one hand and wiped the escaping tears from her eyes with the other. Gladly, she didn’t wear any make-up but a simple red tint on her lips. Her mind went back to reality quickly as soon as Mister Drake cleared his throat, asking for her attention.“Queen Emily?”She faced him and gulped down, “Yes?”
The words of the wicked couple that escaped their filthy mouths earlier at breakfast has been running inside Emily’s mind since then. If she’ll be killed hours after her wedding; it meant she’d be killed together with Lucius and Olivia; she wouldn’t be able to save them. Emily snapped right back to reality when a maid called out to her.“Y-yes?” Emily stuttered at the petite figure of the young maid - who Emily remembered that her name was Alexis. Alexis was the one that helped Emily we
“Queen Emily, wake up.” The gruffy voice of the butler woke her up. As she peeked an eye open to slowly adjust from the brightness, her eyes set upon a worried look of the butler. She couldn’t clearly remember anything, why she ended up here in bed.“I would like to apologize in behalf of Prince, I mean, King Axl for acting not like his usual behavior. And sorry for barging in your room; I’ve been standing outside for a few minutes but you still didn’t get up.” He bowed his head at her.
Emily watched him in horror. She came back to hell to witness Lucius and Olivia’s wedding and to have a proper farewell with them right after and, she anticipated that it would happen as what she wanted it to be. However, Axl became an obstacle both in her way and in her life. Losing both Lucius and Olivia shouldn’t happen but then, villains will always find a way to win.“So? You’ve got no more paths to cross to. Inasmuch as I, the almighty older brother with an incomparable bewitching handsome look, have opened up a path for you to walk on. All you have to do is marry me.” Axl gestured to himself and dra
Somehow, the tensed muscles of Emily’s body relaxed. She blinked a few times as what she had heard. “You locked them up? Why would you lock them up? Lucius needs to be wed as soon as possible; he’s losing his powers and he’s becoming…” Emily glanced down on the floor and lifted her eyes back to the spine-chilling unusual grey orbs of his. “…human.”“I knew you’d understand.” A smile of insanity marked itself on his face. Her heart seemed to beat in
Emily and Olivia helped Lucius as they walk up from the stairs. Lucius was getting heavy and weak. He tripped over a few treads of the stairs and gladly, they reached the second level of the house. He told them to carry him to Emily’s room where he had concealed the symbols of the door to the underworld.Emily felt a slight pain from inside her and it must be only the hunger she’s feeling. She hasn’t eaten since last night. She couldn’t stop thinking about living the rest of her life with her mother in normalcy. Now that it’s confirmed, the wish she’s been wishing to come true since it all started is finally becoming true.
