HELENA

I had heard the truth about my mother before, but never like this. Never from the mouth of the woman who helped destroy her. I stood there surrounded by the dead, watching the king cry like the boy he once had been and for the first time. I understood something. He had lost his father, and I had lost my mother.

But our families had not suffered separately.

They had been connected from the beginning. The Queen Dowager looked at me, and I looked back at her. “I don’t regret anything, I st

  • Surviving the World to Escape Him   CHAPTER 164– THE POWER OF THE PROTECTOR

    JULIAN My mind went blank; I didn’t know what new hell we were entering but I could feel the exhaustion creeping into my bones making a cold chill run down my spine. “The male, if it exists, what do we look out for and why haven’t we heard anything about it all these years?” Helena looked at that thing claiming to be my brother. “It might have been doing it’s own thing somewhere, something must have happened to it that caused it to starve. Now that it’s starving, the female will help look for victims for it feed.” Feed, that word unsettled me. “Does it eat people?” that thing shook it’s head. “No, it works the same as succubus, it feels during sexual activities.” I looked at Helena. “If it had been living as a human same and Naomi, then it might have had a wife, someone it could feed from or it he took a wealthy man’s body, then it had more than one woman to feed from. But then something must have happened that he lost of those people. We must find him before he gets dangerous.”“W

  • Surviving the World to Escape Him   CHAPTER 163– SUCCUBUS

    HELENA When I woke up the following morning, Rose had prepared a bath for me and breakfast was on the table. I washed up then went and had my breakfast. I timed it perfectly, by the time I finished, morning court will be finished as well. Julian and Mark with be with the king. That will be the right time for what I wanted to do.“My lady, morning court has concluded. The king and the Prince Regent are now heading to the study.” I rose from my chair, fixed my clothes then walked out with Rose following behind. I walked in just as they sat down. “Helena.” Julain said coming my way. “How are you doing?” I nodded. “Am fine.” I turned to Rose. “Bring us a fresh pot of tea.” I took a seat next to Julian.“Where is Mark?” He never missed morning court since he was appointed duke. I was surprised he wasn’t there. Julian reached into his pocket and pulled out a note then handed it to me. I opened and read it then handed it back to Julian. It was good that he left, maybe he would find somethin

  • Surviving the World to Escape Him   CHAPTER 162 – MY FAULT

    MARKAs soon as my brother left, I asked the kitchen to prepare dinner. I was hoping he would bring my sister-in-law back. When we came back from the general’s manor with his eldest daughter. We debated for a while not knowing what to do with her. Then finally, we decided to lock her in the palace dungeons. It was not safe for her to meet anyone. Not until we know what it was, she was doing to the men. My brother took his men and went to the palace. He said he was going to come back with my sister-in-law. I wanted her to know that we had acted toward making things right. I had hurt her more than Julian did. I wanted to make it right with her. I waited for two hours before my brother came back. He was alone and told me that sister-in-law refused to come home. I couldn’t help but blame myself. A woman who loved her husband the way she did, had been scolded and pushed around for a stranger. It must have hurt seen the two men she thought she could relay on turn their backs on her like t

  • Surviving the World to Escape Him   CHAPTER 161– CONFRONTATION

    HELENA Upon my arrival to the palace, I went straight to the king’s study. Most of the lights were off when I got there. His personal guard looked at me with fear in his eyes. I wasn’t surprised, most guards at the palace were there throughout the Calamity Star’s awakening and the dead situation. “Are you going to let me in to see the king or continue blocking my way?” cold sweat broke out on the guard’s forehead. He stepped aside and let me through. When I entered, I could only make out the figure sitting behind the desk. “Sister-in-law, what brings you to the palace at this time of day?” Adam asked. I walked further in and went straight to the window then pulled the curtain open. “It is not dusk yet.” He frowned. The room was dark because he had the curtain drawn during the day, making the room darker. When I looked at him, he had a frown on his face but said nothing. Shifted on his seat looking uncomfortable. “Well…” I took a seat opposite him, poured myself a cup from the tea o

  • Surviving the World to Escape Him   CHAPTER 160– SAVE MY MARRIAGE

    JULIAN I stared at her carriage until it disappeared out of sight. Mark pulled the curtain; he looked at me for a moment not saying a word. After a while I got into the carriage. “Brother.” I looked up at him. He opened his mouth to say something but for the first time, that smart mouth of his had nothing to offer. A sigh left me as I opened the curtain looking out.I suddenly felt exhausted; my wife and I had been through a lot. We have never had lasting peace since we met. It was like the universe was against us. The sad part was that I loved that woman with every fibre of my being. I loved the woman she was when we first met and I loved the woman I was getting to know when she awakened.Every version of her got me obsessed. Which was why I couldn’t understand how I could have done what I did. Now we were walking in different directions, and I felt like if nothing was fixed soon. We would never walk the same road again. “Mark, what do you think she is doing to us, how is she contro

  • Surviving the World to Escape Him   CHAPTER 159– ACT FAST

    HELENA The palm of my hand stung from the slap. I didn’t hold back when I delivered it and no one expected it. “Are you awake now?” My husband turned to me, lowered his head and answered. “Yes.” his voice was so soft, if I wasn’t standing close to him, I wouldn’t have heard it. I walked to the chair and sat down. I looked between them. “Sit down.” My voice was cold, neither of them had ever heard me speak like that or my voice that cold. I always wore a smile.“Now tell me, what just happened.” Julian couldn’t even look me in the eyes. I felt the energy shift the moment that woman stepped into the gate. I was wondering who it was until she got inside the manor. I knew before Rose announced her arrival. It was the same energy I felt at the polo match. Dark like an abyss and suffocating. “I knew what I was saying the whole time. But defending her came like second nature to me. The moment her face changed when you asked her to address you by your title, something in me shifted. I want

    HELENA The silence after his words felt heavier than anything he had said before. I didn’t speak again; there was nothing left to argue with. He had already decided I was something still unfinished and that was somehow worse than being worthless. I needed to leave, get the hell out of there. with

  • Surviving the World to Escape Him   CHAPTER 5– AND SO, IT BEGINS

    HELENA Sunrays seeped through the cracks in the wooden walls. It didn’t feel like morning. It felt like survival continued. I woke slowly, my body stiff in ways that made every breath feel like a reminder of what had happened. For a moment, I didn’t move. I didn’t think. Just lay there, staring at

    HELENAHe was back, panic flared. Should I run? stupid thought. Where would I go? How far could I get with a broken body and no strength? Begging? Maybe that would work. He was alone now. That had to mean something. He had lied for me. Maybe, just maybe he meant to help. I looked up at him, searchi

    HELENAPain surged through my body as I tried to sit up and get myself off the ground. The pain was sharp and sudden. Chasing away the last traces of weakness I had. Along with it, the hope of survival. In my condition, it didn’t matter what I did. I couldn’t fight my way through what was coming. I
