"We need to protect Seth at all costs from your brother Richard. He won't leave Seth even after getting rid of us, you know full well he's after your properties and he would do anything to get his hands on it Julliard"
" I know Crystal, my love, I know. But what do we do, how do we protect Seth and even us? It's very easy to put Seth at an orphanage after getting rid of us, so how do we even avoid that?"
" You have to make a will favoring only Seth"
"A will? How?"
" Let's call our lawyer and make our will, we have to do it today because we have no time." "Ok then, I'll call him now"
After a few dials, Richard was finally able to get his lawyer and ask him to come over.
After an hour and a half, Mr. Philips finally arrived.
" Good Day Mr and Mrs Williamson, hope there is no problem, you suddenly called me to write your will. Hope there is no problem?"
"Actually, there is , some people are after us and we want to make sure our son Seth is well established in life. We want to make sure all our properties goes to him. Also we want to keep the company running till he's old enough. How can we do that?"
" Mrs Williamson, why don't let the police help you track who ever it is down , that is much more safer".
" I know Mr Philips but I prefer to do this first. This is more important to us".
" Ok then , if you say so. Let's get started then. How do you want the will to be done? "
" I want all our houses , cars , company and all accounts go to him. Let him be fully in charge of it all when he clocks twenty three. Before then let his uncle , who is my brother Richard be in charge. But should anything happen to my son Seth, all my property is to be immediately become government property and none of my relatives can have access to them. Neither should tye government give them anything. "
" Oh also , before Seth clocks twenty three , he is allowed to take things he need , like a house , a car and a particular amount of money is to be allocated to him every month for his use. " Crystal knew she had to provide for him because her husband's brother Richard probably won't. She just hoped her son would be wise and not irrational.
"Okay then ,I would work on the will and get back to you today . I'll give you a call before midnight sir".
" Okay , thank you very much Mr Philips, I would be expecting your call. Have a nice day."
" Now that has been sorted out , we have to prepare Seth's mind. He has to know how to live so he doesn't grow up spoilt. Or what do you think dear".
" You're right Crystal, we have to prepare our son for the future and what it brings ".
" I'll go call him".
Unknown to them , Seth was overheard everything. He was coming to call his mother to help with his mathematical assignment but happened to hear everything being said. He was wonderful, how bad could his uncle be? Uncle Richard was always nice to him anytime he came around. He always got him gifts and sweets, so what could be wrong now, why would he want to kill him........
"Seth , where are you". His mother was calling him , he had to pretend he wasn't aware of anything. Even though he was already fifteen years old , his parents treated him like a baby . Not that he was complaining, there were after all many people without parents. He loved his parents very much and wanted them to treat him maturely , but the thought of losing them scared him to the bones.
" I'm coming mother" he was going to cherish every time with them no matter what.
" Yes mother, you were calling me"
"Yea darling, me and your father have something very important to discuss with you. " She looked over at her husband to start and she started to tear up heartbreaking that she might not see her son grow , all because of the greediness of man.
" You might have to grow up alone son" he was broken inside but he had to be strong. It was his fault after all. If he wasn't soo rich , maybe his brother wouldn't try to take his life . But right now he had to protect his family.
"What do you mean by that father , why would I grow up alone? Where would you and mum be then , are you going on a long trip?"
" No son , some people are after our lives , because of my wealth , they want to kill us..."
" Then why don't you make a will then?"
" Because even with the will , if everyone is killed, they would be able to access it , unless it had a clause. Now listen attentively , you must be very careful of your uncle Richard. He is a very wicked man. He has been attempting on me and your mother lives for a very long time now. We fear this time, he's going to be very ruthless . Now I want you to promise us that you would live a very responsible life . You would be wise in your decisions and take life very important. I don't want you to live with bitterness or revenge . I want you to live you life , grow my company but mostly do what makes you happy.... "
" Dad, but..... " At this point Seth began to tear up , the reality was dawning on him. He was actually going to lose his parents soon.....
" My darling son, remember to make only right decisions , choose with your heart and soul and brain. Don't be cornered into a decision, okay? "
" Okay mother"
" I have written my will and willed all my properties to you , so if anything happens to you , my whole property goes to the government, so Richard would have no choice but to spare you. He might maltreat you but he has to take care of you if he wants even a dime from my will. But remember, the whole will belongs to you. You can access it all when you get to the age of twenty three. But before then make sure to invest and multiply money In your name , because Richard might harm you then . Find a way to convert the whole property to your name and safeguard it. That is all I can do to protect you son".
" But why don't you include mummy , I understand you but why not her? "
" Because if I do , he will force her to sign out the will to him"
" Ohh... " Seth burst out crying , he knew he had to stay strong but he couldn't at the moment." "I love you dad , I love you mum."
" We love you son" Crystal and Julliard chorused with tears. They hugged their son and wished in their minds that their fears wouldn't come true.
In the night Richard and Crystal were in their room , talking and reminscing about life .
" Do you remember when we first met each other, we were so little but we knew we were meant for each other. You were and still the most beautiful woman I've ever meet. Did you know my dad tried to hook me up with his friend's daughter? "
" Wow, really. That's unfair, I thought he really liked me, but he was trying to hook you up with other girls" she looked slightly jealous. This made Julliard laugh.
" That was before he realized what a wonderful person you are baby. After he met you, his perspective about you changed completely. I can almost say he loves you more than me" Julliard said laughing .
They were silent for a while , both thinking about the obvious but not able to speak. Finally Crystal decided to speak first.
" Do you think he can survive , what if the will method doesn't work and Richard kills Seth, what will happen then? Or should we just run away , we could travel to another country completely, what do you think?"
" I don't think so , remember Richard belongs to a mafia group , he's very strong . It only takes a few calls for him to find us. I think it's better we die here where we can have a proper burial than in another land where we might probably be just thrown into the gutter."
" That is also true. I'm actually so scared. I'm very sad I won't see what my beautiful son grows into. I just hope he lives a wonderful and happy life . I also hope he doesn't grow to get revenge."
" There is something I didn't tell you my love. "
" What's that honey ".
"There are various beings in this world. There are vampires , werevolves, hybrids living with us". " You are very funny my love" Crystal said bursting with laughter," I understand you're trying to make me smile baby ,thank you very much . But don't you vampires and werevolves is a little far?". "I really mean it my love, they really do exist. The reason why Richard is so powerful isn't only because he's in the mafia , but also because he's a hunter."
She couldn't figure out who she could trust fully. She decided to go with allies whose pups were mated. That way her father wouldn't try to link her with any of them. That was her way of escaping the whole mate saga. But then wouldn't it fall back on her? If her father knew that was what she was doing he might probably take back his decision on her writing the guest list. But then she had to, she had a strong feeling destiny indeed had a different path for her. She kept feeling either she wasn't to have a mate or her mate would be human.But then a thought suddenly popped into her mind, 'are there other species of humans? like vampires?. But she shrugged it off as an absurd thought. If there were she would know about it. Her father would definitely know and he tells her everything. So she doubted it."I really have to collate this list. I have only a little time before dad would want the list. He might decided to give me a little time so he can go back to choosing it. I shouldn't al
That question had always bugged him for years , centuries even, " do you have a mate?" At a point in his life he wanted to kill anyone who asked him that question. After people around him noticed the question triggered him , they stopped asking him. In Fact they never invited him to the annual mate event . Even though he was the oldest and most respected, he was exempted from all mate events. He felt really sore that after centuries he couldn't find his mate. Was it his failure? Or just fate? Or did he do something so bad in his past life that he didn't deserve a mate?. He had asked every deity that came after him, even those that were alive before him, he asked before they passed on, they all said his mate was on the way, that ye had a destined mate. Then why was it taking so long? And now even when powerful vampires dare not ask about his mate this measly human dares to ask about his mate!? If only he knew he just signed his death contract. He was going to keep him for blood
Andra Pov After having a run and gisting about who Ariana spec would be , Andra returned to her parents house around 8 pm. "Hi mom" "Hello my pumpkin, how's Andra doing" her mom said as she hugged her and kissed both cheeks. "She's doing pretty good , very good in fact" Catherine gave her daughter a knowing look asking what they were up to now. " Common on mum, don't give me the look" Andra said laughing. "You two are always up to something mischievous."Catherine said with a smile. "What about dad? Haven't seen him since I got back." "Yea he's out training with some of the pack members." " Okay, I'll go join him" " You really need to cut back on the training, otherwise you'll lose all your shape and look like a man." Andra laughed out loud and went outside to join her father. 'She's growing up, way too fast in fact" Catherine thought to herself and smiled. " Hey dad , good evening" " Good evening pumpkin" Armand said with delight at the sight of his daughter. " How w
"A hunter? A hunter that hunts animals , that's normal, I mean he does look like he could do that for sports. I mean if he hunts us , what is animal to him that he wouldn't hu...." "My love, let me explain how it all happened" Juilliard stopped his wife from rambling. It was a hard truth for him to also come to terms with when he found out............ Two years ago........ "I have to quickly get to Richard to discuss the cement contract. So I would know if to involve him during the meeting or not. .... Where are my car keys? Crystal" Juilliard shouted his wife's name. "My love, have you seen my keys anywhere?" "Yes darling, check the dining table." 'Why in heaven's name would I put my keys in the dining room?' Just in time , Juilliard saw his keys. 'Wow they are really here.' Julliard took his keys and headed to his car. He opened his Honda CR-V and entered. He started driving to his brother's house. After about thirty minutes of driving, he finally got to his brother's house
"Dispose his body in the usual place. Then trace this camera and see where the saving point is . We need to know if someone else is involved in this." "Okay sir". " I've told you to always call me Alaric, we're friends after all." Rodrigo smiled and looked at his friend," It's called respect , we're friends but we're at work currently." 'Hmmmm, at work?' Alaric thought with a smile on his face. He gave Rodrigo a smile and nodded. Rodrigo started to move the body to their personal cemetery. Alaric went into his room and decided to take a shower. He put off his clothes and went into the shower ,put on the cold water and stayed under the water. He allowed his thoughts to settle and started prioritizing them. ' Should I go back on my decision to wait for my chosen mate? I really need to release myself. I should go to a club today. But then I have to oversee the weapons contract. I've never been so bothered about a contract before. Why does my instinct keep going to this contract?. I
Armand climbed the stairs and went to his office. He had some pending matters to attend to. Alpha Winston had come to him the previous week asking for shelter and land . It would be a good thing because it would be a way to add Alpha Winston's pack to his , but then wouldn't it be dangerous? Having two alpha's in the same territory. And also how long was he going to give him shelter? Should hw just ask Alpha Winston to join his pack? But then no alpha would willingly want to let go of his pack. He sighted in frustration. He was really anxious for his daughter to partially take over the alpha duties. Taking care of the biggest pack is indeed a lot of stress. But then he shouldn't burden her with these issues until she has her honeymoon, it's still a long time away but she should live her life before she settles down. But then, what if her mate is an Alpha? It would be a very good thing. Armand decided to put a call to Alpha Winston and ask if he would be willing to be part of his
Seth Pov Seth woke up from his dream and saw his mother and father standing over him looking so worried. He wondered what was happening, why were they looking so worried? Why are they gathered around him? Did he die or something? Is he a spirit now? Did uncle Richard come for him instead? "Mom? Dad?" "Oh my God Seth, you're awake. Thank heavens," Crystal cried out in tears. "What happened when you didn't wake up before?" ' I didn't wake up before? What does mummy mean by that?' ," what do you mean mother, by I didn't wake up before? I slept a few minutes ago". "Oh son, you were out for almost a day. The time is currently two thirty pm. We've been trying to wake you for almost thirty minutes now. In Fact the doctor is on his way." Juilliard said with fear rooted in his heart that Richard might have done something to his son, else why wouldn't he wake up?. Earlier in the morning........ "Good morning baby, hope you slept well?" Crystal, who had woken up earlier, greeted her husb
Alaric's Pov Alaric woke up after some time and checked the time. It was one forty five am. He put a call across to Rodrigo. "Hope you had fun and didn't just stand guard all night long?" Rodrigo chuckled and said, " No boss, I had a lady to myself, but she stole from me." " Ow that's sad, what did you do to her then" " Taught her a little lesson on how stealing is bad, fucked her brains out after. I'm sure she has learnt a big lesson." Alaric laughed out loud," I'm going to send information about the lady here with me , I want you to call our database and confirm it. She says she was kidnapped and is being held against her wish" " The lady with me also said so, she said that was her reason for stealing. She steals customers' belongings, sells them and when the money reaches a certain level , age gives to the boss to buy her freedom. But the boss here keeps increasing their money , calling it's interest for not being able to pay quickly. " " I see...... " 'what a conniving ass
