Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 146 – THE LAST TRUTH
HELENA I balled my hands into fists. I felt both anger and exhaustion. The whole thing was never ending, and it was draining everything I had in me. Julian looked at me. For a moment neither of us moved. Then I ran. The palace corridors were filled with soldiers. I could hear Julian’s footsteps behind me. The soldiers. Some wore our colours and others wore the same royal crest. They were fighting each other. Steel crashed against steel. People screamed. I didn’t know when Julian got in front of me. he pushed through them, cutting down anyone who tried to stop him. but the closer we got to the throne room, the quieter everything became. That frightened me more than the fighting. Julian couldn’t lose his father, even if the king was going to leave the capital. At least he would still be alive and Julian would be alright. But death, death was different. It was final and I didn’t think my husband was ready for that. we reached the doors. They opened and I stopped.The room was filled w
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 145 – THE THING MY WIFE DOESN’T KNOW
JULIAN For the first time since I have known Helena, I was afraid of what would happen after the truth. Not because I was afraid of the man standing in front of us, not because of the pendant in his hand and not even because Helena had just learned that her father had left instructions for me long before he ever knew I would become her husband. I was afraid because I knew something she didn’t. And this time, I wasn’t sure whether telling her would save her or destroy everything we had left. I looked at Helena. She was still staring at the pendant, her face pale, but there was something different in her eyes now. she was tired. Not physically. She was tired of being told that her life had been built around secrets. Tired of discovering that every answer came with another question. Tire of learning that people had made decisions about her life before she was old enough to make them herself. I understood that feeling because I had watched my family do the thing to her. I had watched
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 144 – FATHER’S LAST SECRET
HALENA Foe the first tine in my life, I thought it was over. The dead were gone. The golden needles had stopped burning. The curse I believed was mine had never been a curse at all and the man standing in front of me had just confessed that my father’s family had stole a throne and murdered him to keep the truth hidden. Yet somehow, none of that frightened me anymore. I turned away from him. “I said take your men and leave.” Nobody moved. I looked at Julian.He was still standing beside me, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword. Mark stood on my other side, watching the stranger carefully. The man laughed. Not loudly. Not hysterically this time. it was a quiet laugh. The kind that made the room feel colder. “You really think this is over?” I stopped, my insides growing cold. Slowly, I turned around. “What?” he looked at me with something that almost looked like pity. “You think your father wanted you to have the throne because he loved you?”My heart tightened. “He didn’t know
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPRER 143 – THE MAN WHO WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD
JULIAN I suddenly couldn’t breathe. Not because Helena had just discovered that she was the daughter of a prince. Not because her real father had been murdered, it was because of that one sentence. He was ambushed before he reached the border. I looked at Helena’s mother. “When did this happen?”She frowned. “What?” I looked her in the eyes. “When was her father killed?” Her face changed. “Twenty-two years ago.” I looked at Mark. He was already staring at me. something was not right. I turned toward the commander. “You said the former king was the one who ordered Helena’s blood to be taken.”He slowly nodded. “And you said the man who helped him is still alive.” I asked “Yes.” he admitted. “My uncle?” He nodded once again. I looked back at Helena’s mother. “Then why was Helena’s father killed before the former king took her blood?” she froze. The room went silent. Helena’s eyes narrowed.“What are you saying?” I stepped closer to her mother. “If Helena’s father was murdered twenty-tw
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 142 – THE TRUTH ABOUT MY DEATH
HELENA“They killed you.” the words echoed inside my head. I stared at my mother. I wanted to scream; I wanted to tell her she should stop lying. But she wasn’t. I could see it in her eyes. She had watched me die before. “You let me believe I was cursed.” My voice came out barely a above a whisper.My mother shook her head. “I was trying to protect you.” I chuckled softly. “By letting me believe I had done something terrible in another life?” tears rolled down her cheeks. “You were a child, Helena.” She looked st the bloodstained cloth in the commander’s hand. “They took you from me when you were five.”My breath caught. That young. “Five?” she nodded. “The former king had discovered what you could do. He believed your blood could be used to control the Calamity Star.” I looked at the golden needles. “They brought you into that chamber.” The seer lowered his head. My mother continued. “They drained your blood.”Julian stepped closer to me. his face had gone pale. “How much.” My mother
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 141 – THE PEOPLE WHO CAME FOR HER
JULIAN The first man walked toward the smoke. I tightened my grip around my sword. Then another appeared behind him. another, withing seconds, the destroyed entrance was filled with soldiers. They weren’t monsters. They weren’t the dead, they were men. Men wearing armour. Men carrying swords. Men who had come prepared to fight.I moved in front of Helena. “Stay behind me.” she didn’t argue. “Brother!” Mark called for me from somewhere. “Don’t you regret not eating now?” my eyebrows furrowed. That wasn’t the time to think about food. “How are you going to fight on an empty stomach now?” he was trying to lighten the mood but nothing he could say would word at a moment like that.I was focused on my wife. When she didn’t argue. That scared me more than anything. Helena always argued when she thought I was being overprotective. But now she was staring at the soldiers with a strange expression on her face. Like she recognized something, Mark stepped beside me. “How many?”“Too many.” I an
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 7– SAFE HAVEN, ALMOST
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
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 6– THE JOURNY
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
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 4 - FRIEND OR FOE
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
