Chapter Nineteen – The Woman I Shouldn’t Miss

The Commander’s POV

I watched Octavia walk towards the entrance.

For some reason, I wanted to stop her.

I didn’t understand why she was so determined to leave. She had a place in this house, and despite everything that had happened, I had never told her she had to leave completely.

She was the one making things difficult.

I took a step forward, intending to call her back, but Vanessa suddenly held my hand.

“Commander.”

I turned towards her. “Please,

    Chapter Thirty-SixWhy Do You Want to Marry Me?Octavia’s POVAsher stared at me for a moment after hearing my response. He seemed surprised by how strongly I had rejected his proposal, but I couldn’t understand why he expected me to accept something like that so easily.“Why are you so against marrying me when you haven’t even heard my reasons?” he asked.I let out a breath and looked at him.“What reasons do you expect me to hear? We barely know each other, Asher. You saved me once when I was attacked by monsters, and now you’re asking me to marry you. Don’t you think that’s too sudden?”He watched me quietly before asking, “Is that the only reason?”“What else could there be?”“You seem to have another reason for rejecting me.”I hesitated before answering.“Because I’m already married.”His expression changed immediately.“You’re married?”I nodded.He looked at me as if he wasn’t sure he had heard correctly.“To whom?”“That’s not something you need to worry about.”“How can I no

All I knew was that someone had bought my mother’s necklace, and now that person wanted to meet me.Could it be someone who knew my mother?I couldn’t stop thinking about it.The man stopped in front of a door and opened it for me.“Please, come in.”I hesitated before stepping inside.My eyes immediately fell on the man sitting on the sofa.“Asher?”He looked up, and a small smile appeared on his face.“Hello, Octavia.”I stared at him in surprise. I hadn’t expected to see him here. The last time we met, he had rescued me from monsters and given me their cores. I never thought our paths would cross again so soon.But what surprised me even more was what he held in his hand.My mother’s necklace.I quickly walked closer.“How did you get that?”Asher looked down at the necklace before raising his eyes

    CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR – THE NECKLACEOctavia’s POVI couldn’t take my eyes off the necklace as the auctioneer held it up for everyone to see.My heart tightened, and I suddenly remembered the day my mother gave it to me. I could still remember how she smiled while placing it around my neck, telling me to take good care of it because it was precious to her.I had treasured it ever since, and losing it after her death had been one of the things that hurt me the most.Now, after all these years, I was finally looking at it again.I swallowed the lump in my throat and wiped the corner of my eyes.I had to get it back.No matter what happened, I couldn’t allow someone else to take it away from me again.The auctioneer cleared his throat before announcing the starting price.“We will begin the bidding at five thousand.

  • The Apocalypse Made Me A Monster   The Auction

    CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE – THE AUCTIONOctavia’s POVA few days had passed since my conversation with Vanessa, and I had spent most of that time thinking about the auction and how I could recover my mother’s necklace.I knew I couldn’t afford to lose it, especially after everything Vanessa had said to me. I had tried to think of a way to get it back without involving the Commander, but I couldn’t come up with anything better than attending the auction myself.That afternoon, I sat in my room, waiting for the right opportunity.I had already prepared a small bag containing the little money I had managed to save, and I kept checking the time because I didn’t want to arrive at the auction after the necklace had been sold.When I heard voices coming from downstairs, I moved closer to the window and looked outside.The Commander was standing near the entrance with Vanessa, and they appeared to be preparing to leave together. I watched them get into the vehicle before the driver finally drove o

    CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO – A DESPERATE DECISIONOctavia’s POVI was still sitting on my bed when I heard someone knocking on my door.I wiped my cheeks, hoping it wasn’t the Commander because I wasn’t in the mood to have another conversation with him. However, before I could answer, the door opened, and Vanessa walked inside.I immediately frowned.“Don’t you know how to knock and wait for someone to answer?”She ignored my question and closed the door behind her.“I came to tell you something.”I looked at her without saying anything.She walked further into the room, looking around before turning her attention to me.“I’ve already made arrangements for the auction, and the necklace will be among the items I’m selling.”My heart dropped.“You’re really going to sell it?”She smiled.“Of course. Why would I bring it up if I wasn’t serious?”I stood up from the bed.“Vanessa, please, that necklace belongs to me. It was my mother’s, and you know how much it means to me. You can keep whatever

    CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE – MisunderstoodOctavia’s POVI was sitting in the parlour with the Commander and Vanessa, trying to enjoy the quiet afternoon even though my mind was far from the conversation they were having.Since Vanessa had shown me my mother’s necklace, I had barely been able to think about anything else. I kept remembering the way she held it in front of me and threatened to burn it if I refused to leave the mansion.I couldn’t allow that to happen.It was the last thing my mother had given me, and I wasn’t ready to lose it.However, I didn’t know how I could get it back without doing what Vanessa wanted. I had no money to buy it from her, and leaving the mansion would only make things worse for me.I was still thinking about it when the Commander spoke.“There’s an auction coming up in a few days. Some important people from different settlements will be attending, and there are several valuable items expected to be sold.”Vanessa, who had been sitting comfortably beside him
