HELENA

The forest didn’t stop me and that was the first thing that terrified me. No whispers followed between the trees. No shadows moved beside me. Even the wind had gone still, as though the woods had finally taken what it wanted and no lingered cared whether I loved or died. But that didn’t put me at ease, not in the slightest, instead. It terrified me to the core.

I walked until my legs trembled beneath me. branches clawed at my arms as I pushed through the dark, but I barely felt them. my

  • 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

  • Surviving the World to Escape Him   CHAPTER 158 – STRANGE RAGE

    MARKJulian and I left the palace with something heavy between us, something neither of us could name. But we both knew that things were far from being over. I asked my driver to take the carriage home then I rode with Julian back to his manor. I wanted to apologise to my sister-in-law for my behaviour.But what we both mostly wanted to ask how safe it was for Adam to keep whatever impostor had taken over his body. Neither of us could deny the authority that imposter’s voice carried. It sounded like someone who had ruled for years. And yet, our brother had only been crown only a couple of weeks ago.When we arrived, Helena was waiting at the gate. Julian got out first. I sat in the carriage for a moment, my palms sweating, I had attacked her for no reason. I had been wracking my brain trying to figure out what it was the made me act that way over an outsider. “Are you going to stay there all day?” Julian’s voice came.It carried a hint of amusement in it. I moved the curtain and stepp

  • Surviving the World to Escape Him   CHAPTER 157- HE IS NOT MY BROTHER

    JULIANI thought I should take my wife’s advice and treat my brother a little differently. We were in the study together going through memorials. Adam was so focused on the memorial in his hand. But his eyes looked distant like he was looking through the memorial. “Adam.” He lifted his head from the memorial he was pretending to read.“Yes, brother?” I dropped the memorial in my hand. Something was wrong. I had been watching him all morning, noticing the changes in his habits, the strange questions and the way he carried himself as though he had suddenly become someone else. I had tried to convince myself that I was imagining things. But now he was looking directly at me, and I could no longer deny it. His eyes. I stared at them, unable to look away. The colour had changed. Where the hell was Mark when I needed him. What was more unsettling, was the fact that I knew those eyes. Somehow, I knew them. the they stirred a memory I couldn’t quite reach.Something buried so deep that I cou

    HELENA “Fire, everyone out! there is a fire.” Smoke choked me before I was fully awake. I coughed rushing out of the servants’ quarters. When I got outside it was chaos, maids and guards running around like headless chickens with buckets of water trying to put out the fire. I stood there in daze w

    HELENA The forest felt different when I was alone in it. not emptier. Just honest. Every sound mattered now. every snap of a branch. Every shift in the wind. Every breath I tried to keep steady. There was no one left to decide what I was worth. No one left to watch. Only the path. Only me.I follo

    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
