Second chance at happiness Do you want to tell us old timers what the hell is going on?
Ludo had just left when Harrison announced the arrival of the next batch of visitors.A very pissed-off Cousin Farris… and Uzi. They had been left behind at the Zumerong estate by the Zumerongs themselves.“We thought you were worn out from the journey,” Wilkin said with a sheepish smile. The truth was, they had been impatient… and hadn’t had the heart to disturb their rest.“Hmph!” they both huffed as they dropped into their seats, the sound sharp with lingering annoyance.But irritation didn’t last long here. It rarely did.Their expressions shifted as they took in the room… quick glances, silent counting.Jerome wasn’t there.Neither was Leander.The edge in their shoulders eased, just slightly. So, they hadn’t missed it after all.Zelda followed Jerome back into the formal lounge, her steps measured, her expression composed.Conversation faltered.“You… you… you…”Linus was the first to react. He pushed himself halfway out of his seat, finger trembling as he pointed at Zelda like
Second chance at happiness Ha! They’re worse than us.
Back at Southamberston, the relaxed atmosphere was slowly dissipating.They had gained a lot in just a few days… finding the nephew, cousin, and grandnephew they had thought long gone. And in times like these, the chances of losing them again were just as real.What started as noise and chaos slowly gave way to serious discussion… filling in the exact details of what had happened… especially with Jerome.With each passing minute, the tension began to rise.The first to crack was, of course, the one with the shortest fuse.“Are you sure Jerome is back to himself?” Humphrey asked for what felt like the hundredth time. He pushed to his feet abruptly, the chair scraping against the floor. “I think I’ll head out and see if I can find anything.”“Don’t be silly,” Linus scolded. “Do you even know where they wandered off to?”Humphrey’s gaze slid meaningfully toward Jerome’s usual partners-in-crime.“Don’t look at us…” Harry shrugged. “Ever since he got his nephew, we’ve lost favour.”“They’ll
Second chance at happiness They are forbidden… they bring trouble.
They rode in silence.Lady luck didn’t forsake them entirely… they ran into Bari and his men, a few towns away from the capital.“Young---” Bari started, then stopped. He cleared his throat. “Nephew… what are you doing here? So far from home.”“We…” Jack hesitated, pursing his lips, but Mira smiled, naturally calling out, “Uncle Bari!”“Aaiii... little Mira...” He greeted heartily, his attention immediately shifting to the little pearl his friends held at the tip of their hearts.He guided them to a hidden chamber, one that he often used when he travelled. He was no fool… he could see through Jack’s hesitation to speak and Mira hoodwinking them.“Uncle Bari, do you know this place well?” Mira asked, without explaining, “We are looking for apothecaries… ones that carry exotic potions.”“I know this place…” he paused, “well enough. But what are you looking for?”A mysterious grin tugged at his lips. “I know places that aren’t apothecaries, and yet you can get almost anything.”“I want…”
Second chance at happiness Do you know the way home?
Jerome went still. Completely still.Beside him, Lazarus froze.How had he failed to notice that his Lord was not with them? Was he worthy of his Lord’s trust?But unlike Lazarus, Jerome didn’t stay that way for long. He snapped out of his inner chaos, analysing every eventuality as he slowly lifted his head and looked at the bewildered faces before him. His gaze settled on Thomas.The young man had a tight, guilty expression, one that was anything but innocent.“Speak.” Jerome narrowed his eyes. That expression seemed to scream… ‘I am an equal partner in crime’. He knew it well… not on Thomas, but on his brother’s accomplice. Jerome shook his head as the thought came unbidden.Like father, like son.Thomas exhaled, defeat already written across his face, silently apologizing to Jack.“They wanted to ride to Stranton’s place to seek the healer, so we wouldn’t waste time fetching her once we reach Southamberston.” He shrugged lightly. “What we don’t have right now is the luxury of time…
Second chance at happiness I cannot guarantee the success of anything if I so much as sense those two anywhere near me.
By dawn the next day, Jack and his entourage had arrived at the ice cave. This time, there were no surprises… they knew the drill.Zelda was at her last straw when Jack arrived.She had forgotten just how insufferable those two could be… or rather, how insufferable they became when their sworn brother was hurt. Any longer, and she might have ended up blowing the two of them…and this entire place apart…“Do you have a plan?” Zelda asked, her expression midway between enthusiasm and exasperation. She had never felt so desperate as in these 24 hours… even the decade long frustration of not being to find a cure couldn’t compare…Jack cocked an eyebrow towards Thomas, taking in Zelda’s state.“That’s my father for you…” Thomas muttered. He leaned forward and whispered, “Add godfather Cornelius into the mix… I am honestly impressed this place is still standing.”“The children have a plan.” Jerome shrugged; he wasn’t convinced but there wasn’t anything much he do either.Zelda turned her atte
Second chance at happiness The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree… even if it never saw the tree.
Back in the privacy of their room, Jack had just finished taking a bath when Mira began her negotiations.“Husband, can you listen to me?” she asked, slipping into his lap and wrapping her arms around his neck. Her eyes blinked up at him expectantly, “I have worked out a way, without getting into trouble.”“My dear wife, I know what you want to do…” he paused. “Or at least I think I do… and that’s dangerous. We are no longer on our own. There are people all around us.”“I know… I know…” Mira covered his mouth “Just listen to me first.”Jack sighed helplessly, gently pulling her hands away and pressing a kiss to them. “Alright. I will listen… but you have to listen to me if I feel it’s dangerous.”Mira pouted as she looked at him. Her gaze slowly turned sly. Behind her back, she made a small gesture, as if nullifying whatever promise she had just made, before nodding obediently.“Alright.”She explained her plan to Jack in detail, carefully leaving out one critical detail- the cost. The
Second chance at happiness Did your husband miss a catch?
“Give us a minute.” Jack spoke in a calm voice even though he was flustered inwardly; he didn’t even know how to get Mira to come back. In his flustered state, he forgot that Mira could hear him if he called out to her. Luckily, he didn’t have to stay in his panicked state for more than a few minut
Second chance at happiness Do you think this is a hereditary anomaly?
John and Martin didn’t stay back like they had previously planned; they quickly bid farewell, promising to return shortly to take them away and slipped away under the cover of the fog.Soren was only a day’s ride away from Southamberston. As they took a break and sat down to have supper, they met wi
Second chance at happiness You’re in luck....
John and Martin didn’t know if they were lucky or not, but on this night, there were many villagers who sneaked into the Bartel estate. No one was bothered with the presence of the other but rather drew courage from the presence of others and stealthily started searching for anything that could be s
Second chance at happiness It wouldn’t be a mystery if we knew, would it?
“Then why didn’t you?” John asked in confusion; they didn’t have to be separated for so long.“Like you said, so many things happened…” Peter sighed “After searching for you lot, we figured that he had sent you Amberton Duchy and didn’t want to make it easier for those searching for you; we didn’t w
