RAUL

The years had passed by quicker than I ever anticipated, and yet here we were, ten years after the storm that had torn through our lives. A lot had changed, and nothing had. Rebel was no longer just my closest ally in the chaos. She was the leader of our faction of the Order, a woman who had learned to navigate both the darkness and the light. She had her daughter, Kezziah, named after her grandmother, and she was a force; a true reflection of both her father and her mother. In a strange way, I saw Jacque in her every time she spoke, every time she gave an order. And as for Catya, she’d raised Zilla with a similar love and strength. Our girls had grown up in private, away from the Order but they had strength, kindness, and a resolve that made us all proud.

Yet, even as life had carried on, the past still haunted us. The ghosts of our decisions lingered, and I felt the weight of them every single day.

Today was one of those days.

I found myself walking toward the large, dimly

  • REBEL : THE DEADLY HIERESS   CHAPTER 160: BLESSINGS

    REBELWeddings always have a strange way of cutting me open. Maybe it’s because they pull you between past and future—between the girl I once was and the mother I now am.Today, I sat in the front row, Daniel’s hand warm against mine, my sons Mex and Michael flanking Kezziah on her way down the aisle, and my mother—Carly—beside me, clutching my fingers so tightly it almost hurt. She had tears in her eyes already, though the ceremony hadn’t even begun.The church was beautiful, decorated with white lilies and roses, sunlight streaming through the tall stained-glass windows. Kezziah had wanted something simple but elegant, and somehow, this place had delivered both. My daughter… my only girl… was getting married today and not just to anyone. To Raul.The thought made my chest ache in ways I couldn’t quite name. Raul had been my friend, my brother in arms, my confidant for years. He had been there through battles, heartbreaks, and the weight of crowns and now, he was stepping into a new

  • REBEL : THE DEADLY HIERESS   CHAPTER 159: ACCEPTANCE

    KLAUS I’ve faced men with knives in their boots, guns tucked under their coats, eyes burning with the intent to kill. I’ve stared down death so many times that fear and I learned to live like old roommates but nothing could have prepared me for what I heard this morning.My only daughter.My Zilla.Involved… intimately… with the twins.With Mex and Michael—my godsons. My brother’s children in everything but blood.When Catya told me, her face pale as parchment, my stomach clenched so hard I thought I’d collapse. I wanted to storm out of the house, track the boys down, and remind them that while I’d raised them like my own, I was still very capable of breaking bones but Catya grabbed my arm and told me: Don’t you dare. We talk this out as a family.So here we are now.The sitting room feels like a battlefield. My heart is pounding, my jaw tight as stone. Zilla sits between the twins on the couch, her face calm but her hands twisting in her lap. Mex looks defensive already, arms folded

  • REBEL : THE DEADLY HIERESS   CHAPTER 158: TRUTH

    REBEL The house was so still I could hear my own heartbeat. Something was obviously wrong somewhere, and I felt it pressing in from all sides. I had barely cleared the dinner plates when my boys walked in with Kezziah trailing behind looking like her favourite puppy got snatched from her without her approval. Mex and Michael were in front, stiff-backed, their faces completely stoic. Kezziah’s small steps faltered as though she wanted to turn back immediately she got in. “Mom,” Mex said quietly, almost like he was afraid of his own words because they never call me mom except there's trouble. “We need to talk.” Michael gave a single nod, his eyes searching mine. That was when my stomach twisted—I knew this was indeed trouble. I folded my arms, steadying myself. “Alright. What’s going on?” Kezziah wouldn’t look at me. She shifted, nervous, eyes darting between her brothers and the floor. For a moment she looked so young, fragile, like the little girl who used to hide behind my l

  • REBEL : THE DEADLY HIERESS   CHAPTER 157: BOMBSHELL

    KEZZIAH After he stormed out, I'd thought that would be the end, but it never stopped; for eight months we'd been secret lovers. Zilla, my best friend, is the only one who knows.I stared at the little plastic stick in my hand, my heart pounding like I had just sprinted a marathon. The small window on the stick showed a clear result, and I could already feel my life flashing before my eyes. This couldn’t be happening. This definitely couldn’t be happening.Pregnant.How the hell did I end up here?The truth, though? I wasn’t entirely surprised since we were like rabbits going at it every day, but I had convinced myself that this couldn't happen as it was just some weird, unattainable fantasy, the kind of thing that doesn’t happen to real people. The age difference, the fact that he had always been like a father figure to me... yeah, that was supposed to be a solid barrier, but then, one stupid night in a club, one too many drinks, one too many bad decisions, and—here we are.I had sp

  • REBEL : THE DEADLY HIERESS   CHAPTER 156: TROUBLE

    RAULI no longer celebrated my birthdays, Twenty five was as much as I did after understanding that no matter the age difference Rebel would never love me and had someone who loved her more than anything else in life and she had a family who loved her more than anything but here I am at Forty-five, alone like never before. Hell, I did not even know why I paid attention to the damn age. Time didn't care, nor did I but the whiskey did, the club did as it still manages to comfort my grief.Happy fucking birthday to me. The whiskey was my companion this evening since I decided to avoid the company of Rebel and her family since it's embarrassing enough that every year I still remain single; each burn of whiskey I drank served as a reminder that I was alive, still a man that wanted to forget it all. One year past I found out I now had a desire for Kezziah-Rebel's only daughter with Daniel so I stayed away from the family to avoid being caught. I couldn’t stay in the same breathing space

  • REBEL : THE DEADLY HIERESS   CHAPTER 155: HIS END

    DANIEL The air was clinical, but cold, I was used to this coldness now not because of the operating rooms, the sterile instruments, or the masked men who moved around like shadows but because the harsh reality of things had set in a long time ago. The world I had created for Rebel and our children, the life we created, was being torn apart, piece by piece, strand by strand, and it all started with Killian. The man who thought he could destroy us. The man who thought he could come in, take what didn't belong to him, and leave none the poorer. Today, I was going to make him remember exactly how wrong he'd been. I did not even need to go look for him. He had thought he was so clever, playing behind masks and alter egos but we had been one step ahead of him since the day that we learned he had survived. The moment Rebel and I were aware that he was still alive, we also knew that the danger was not wiped out but now in a different shape. Here he is, lying in some Parisian back-stree
