❄ CHAPTER 46 ❄ " Why don't you figure it out yourself...Phoenix? " Phoenix's eyes broadened and her heart almost jumped out of her chest. Did Alastair just call her Phoenix? She gulped nothing, deciding to play cool. " Erm...excuse me? " She chuckled nervously and Alastair slammed the door tight, startling her. " A daughter pretending to be her mother..what will I call that? " Alastair raised a brow at Phoenix whose heart digested into her stomach. Shit! He knows. She's busted. " How did you find out? " She tried not to stutter. Her question made Alastair crack up in a laugh, much to her surprise. And just like a fading wind, his laughter was wiped off and replaced with a fierce glare. " What were you thinking, Phoenix? That I won't be able to differentiate between Ashley and someone else? " He scoffed, stepping closer. Phoenix bit on her lips, keeping her head up to show she wasn't deterred by his glare. " I'm a wizard if I'd gladly remind you of that. And I know Ashley more
❄ CHAPTER 47 ❄ " Fine then. Get on your knees and beg me, Axion " Axion gazed down at Phoenix on the bed before looking up at the buckets of acids above her as Corbin's words played on his head and he grew weak instantly. No, he can't lose Phoenix. He can't bear watching her scream in anguish if the acids pour on her. He'd rather it pours on him. Looking at the evil grin on Corbin's face he was certain he meant what he said. He could just easily fight Corbin because he too is a Dark Genie and possess powers but...he knows that Corbin is way stronger than him. He is a full Dark Genie while he is a half Genie and their powers can't be compared. With all these going on inside his mind and not having an option, Axion crouched to the floor on his knees, his head bowed in shame. Corbin beamed in excitement staring down at him. " Please Corbin...keep Phoenix out of this. Please don't hurt her and do to me whatever you want instead " Axion's pleading sounded like a melody to Corbin's ear
❄ CHAPTER 48 ❄ Phoenix was surprised to see herself in a strange room. It was entirely empty and all white with only her inside. There are no doors or windows one could use for escaping. " What am I? " Was the first question that left her lip as her eyes ogle around. " Hello. Can anyone hear me? " She called for help but her voice only bounced back at her. " Axion! Aunt Glinda! Where are you guys? " She was starting to get scared when no one replied to her. She was completely trapped and she hated it. " Someone get me out of here, please! " " Phoenix! " A melodic voice hovered the room and Phoenix's eyes widened a bit on recognizing who that voice belong to. " Mom? " She chuckled a bit, looking around for Ashley in the room. But her chuckle died when she didn't see anyone. " Mom..." " Your mate needs you, Phoenix " At the mention of Axion, Phoenix's brows furrowed in worry. " What happened to Axion? " She inquired immediately. " He's in pain and needs you. You have to save h
❄️ CHAPTER 49 ❄️ Phoenix finally succeeded in breaking the padlock and dashed into the cell. She was about to rush to him but stopped abruptly as her eyes scanned his whole body. Seeing the cuts, ruptures, and fresh scars on his body, a loud whimper left her lips, and the tears she was holding back finally rolled down freely. Her Axion. Which heartless being did this to him? How was he able to endure this? Was this the pain her mother was telling her about in her dream? Isn't this too much? How could she have been sleeping while her Axion was in pain and it's all because of her? Thinking of all these, an intense pain pierced into her heart making her hold her chest. It felt as though her heart was being scrapped and stabbed repeatedly that she almost slump to the floor due to pain. " A...x...ion " Her words broke since she was literally choking on her tears. With trembling hands she reached out and held his cheeks, tilting his head up. " Axion " She caressed his cheeks, her tear
❄ CHAPTER 50 ❄ Glinda was pacing to and fro in her room in worry, her phone on her ear. She has been trying both Axion and Phoenix's number and after countless ringing, none among them picked up. She was getting dead worried since it has been 24hrs since she last heard from them. She had been waiting for Axion to call and inform her how their plan was going. When she couldn't stay back any longer, she grabbed her purse and made to scurry out of her room when Medusa entered and stood by the door. Glinda glared at her and she slammed the door close, startling her a bit. With a smirk on her face, " And where are heading in such a hurry? " Medusa asked. Glinda rolled her eyes, almost hissing at her question. But from what she knows, Medusa isn't aware that she knows that she is a Dark Genie. Forcing a smile up her lips, " To see Axion and Phoenix " She replied sharply and made to go. " Not so fast Glinda " Medusa halted her making her groan slightly. Why won't this woman fuck out of
❄ CHAPTER 51 ❄ It was morning already and Axion slowly opened his eyes. He was feeling a little bit energized, unlike yesterday. Glancing bedside him and not seeing Phoenix by his side, his heart skipped a bit in fear and he almost jerked up but he was still too weak to sit up. " Phoenix " He called but didn't get any answer. He was starting to get troubled and scared. Just as he was struggling to crouch up, the door opened, revealing Phoenix who had a tray in her hands. Seeing her, Axion heaved in relief. For once he thought something happened to her. Sighting him awake, " Good morning " Phoenix greeted with a broad smile which Axion gladly returned as she walk up to the bed. She kept the tray on the table beside the bed and went over to help Axion sit up. Placing a peck on his forehead, " I brought you breakfast " She placed the tray on the bed and sat down. " You woke up early today? " Axion asked and she nodded. " I wanted to make breakfast before you wake up " What she s
❄ CHAPTER 52 ❄ " Phoenix...I...I...lo..." Phoenix's phone rang just then, cutting Axion off and snapping her out. She took out her phone and seeing it was Glinda calling, she stood up. " Excuse me " She left. " Damn it! " Axion grunted. Just when he was about to confessing his feelings for her. Phoenix came back later and resumed what she was doing. " You wanted to tell me something " She reminded and that made Axion's heart skip again in nervousness. Should he tell her now or should he wait? Is now the right time? What if... No, now wasn't the right time. Phoenix is only worried about him getting better and confessing now won't make sense. " I...just...erm wanted to say that..erm...I missed you " He said instead and Phoenix smiled at him. " But I'm right here with you, why are you missing me then? " She couldn't help but ask. " Maybe because I want you to stay by side till forever " Axion mumbled and yep, that got Phoenix blushing. " Can you stop flirting with me Axion
❄️ CHAPTER 53 ❄️ " Don't do it...please " Axion pleaded but Phoenix wasn't buying it. It's high time someone teaches Medusa a lesson and she wants to be the one to do that. She needs to fucking show Medusa her place! Seeing Phoenix wasn't bulging in, Axion turned to Medusa. " Keep Phoenix out of our personal matter, Medusa, and fight me instead. It's me you want right? " " Shut up! " Medusa snapped at him. Using her strong first, she struck Axion on his chest which paralyzed him instantly and he dropped to the floor. " Axion! " Phoenix and Glinda exclaimed with widened eyes. " How dare you?! " Phoenix roared and charged toward Medusa who jabbed her with a strong blow, sending her rolling to the floor, a whimper leaving her lips. " Phoenix " Axion called out faintly, struggling to get up. He needed to save his Phoenix, he can't let her do this on her own. Glinda rushed to Phoenix and reached out to help. " No aunt. Stay out of this " Phoenix muttered and stood up. " This is be
