Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 104 – SOMETHING’S WRONG
JULIAN The night hung low lighting the night sky. We were hidden in the tall lash grass waiting for the old maid to be our line of sight so we could take out the two guards, get the clothes to blend in and walk straight into Steve’s residence. Mark was awfully quiet but the way he was gripping that hunting knife told me he was anything but calm. The dead body laid in a sack next to him, one hand on the hunting knife and another on the sack. He was a man with a plan, and I could tell we would not leave that place without him getting what he wanted. I peaked again, careful not to be discovered by the guards. That was when I saw her.She had a walking stick and a limp in her walk. It was nighttime and I couldn’t see her face from where I was, but the disguise was what we agreed on. She was only a distraction; Mark and I would do the work. Indeed, when she was close enough, the guards noticed keeping their attention to her. Before I could react, Mark had already sliced the one’s throat
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 103 – TOO LATE
JULIAN’S GUARDS We had been standing in the pastry shop for almost twenty minutes when the old woman behind the counter finally looked at me. “Are you going to buy those or are you planning to stare at them all day?” I looked down at the tray in front of me. “I am deciding.” She scoffed with her hands on her waist. “You have been deciding since you walked in.”The other guard laughed beside me. “Just give him the once the princess likes, before he causes trouble.” I glared at him, but he only laughed harder. “Three of those,” I said pointing at the honey pastries. “And the almond ones.” He stopped laughing and looked at me seriously. “Does the princess like the almond ones too?”“She does,” I said confidently. “You are becoming quite knowledgeable about her preferences.” I shrugged. “We are supposed to protect her.” he raised an eyebrow. “Doesn’t explain why you know what pastries she likes.” I looked away. The truth was that we had all noticed how much the princess had been missing
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 102 – SHE KNOWS
HELENA I was busy at the shop recording new stock that had just arrived. I was keeping myself busy so as to not miss my husband so much. It had been two weeks since he left the capital, but it felt like month. “Rose, please check those orders against what is in the ledger.” Silence. “Rose.” Silence. What was strange was, the shop that was noisy and filled with chatter had gone silence. Dread filled me as I slowly turned to look behind me. The scene got my breath caught and my eyes widening. Her cruel smile took me back to the days when I served her in the palace. consort Yan. She was standing behind a group of maids holding Rose down with her mouth covered.I was so distracted and busy by the orders that I didn’t even notice when the noise died down. “Well, well, well. If it isn’t Lady Helena.” The smile on her face widened. “Oh, I forgot, you are a princess now.” she covered her mouth and laughed. “Or maybe I should call you by your other name, the one I gave you. what was it again
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 101 – THE BEGINNING OF HIS END
JULIAN We rode back to the Inn with the old maid. Mark didn’t sleep the whole three days we were on the road. Didn’t eat and had been silent. I could only imagine what he was feeling at that time. Thinking of that man. His cruel words, his disgusting facial expressions as he looked at him as if he were nothing. His silence scared me more than anything. Because when Mark fell silent usually trouble followed. “You said you wanted to make him wish for death. Do you still mean that?” he didn’t even glance at me. “More than anything.” His jaw was locked tight I feared for his teeth. When we got to the Inn, we booked our rooms, took baths and ate. “Drink this.” I gave Mark a calming tonic so he could sleep. I was worried about what might happen if he continued that way. he didn’t say a word, he took the bowl and drank. “Go rest, we will talk in the evening.”I rested for two hours before my brother’s pacing woke me up. floors were made of wood and each step he took made a sound. I opened
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 100 – HE ASKED FOR IT
MARKDisbelief washed over me. I didn’t go there looking for him, I went there trying to see where my mother grew up. Seeing him wasn’t the goal, I didn’t need a father. I already had one. Yes, I did want to see him, but I wanted no relationship with him. and there he was, saying the most cruel and degrading things a person could say about another. I studied his face, looking for something that connected us. Beside the cunning look, the nose and the arrogance like I used to have. There was nothing special about him. I couldn’t deny the resemblance between us. It was there and we didn’t need blood to tell we were related. Looking at the smirk on his face.I realized how lucky I had been to be raised by my father. I didn’t know what kind of monster I would have become if I was raised by the monster in front of me. “It’s a shame, in this life, we don’t always get what we want.” still with a smile on his face. He straightened.“Unfortunately,” he glanced at me. “If that weren’t the case
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 99 – HE KNEW I EXISTED
MARK “There is one thing I would like to know, Father.” he nodded. “I would like to know about mother, where she was from and the kind of person she was.” I never got to meet her and father or anyone in the palace ever spoke of her. it was like she never existed. Father told me everything about her.“She was truly a lovely person, and you would have loved her.” he said I had her nose and mouth. “Do you have a portrait of her.” father nodded. “Yes, come to my study sometime and I will give it to you.” I thanked him and left. I couldn’t describe what I was feeling. Disappointed? No. anger, not that either. I would say I was more curious about the borderlands than the hidden truth. I wanted to know the kind of place she grew up in. By the time I got to my manor, my messenger had already gone to my brother’s place. I wanted to rebuild our relationship, and I hoped he would take the hand I had extended. I couldn’t sleep that night. Just thinking about everything. My life, how I fought f
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 3 – SAVED, I THOUGHT
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
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 2– DANGER
HELENA I thought I could go on after that. But I didn’t even take five steps before my body refused to cooperate. I looked back, I was already far from the palace, it wouldn’t hurt to rest. I spotted bushes not far from the road. I slowly walked there, dragging my throbbing foot. When I got to the
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 1-The Escape
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
