Chapter 28. Responsibility.
***
I wasn't sure how I was going to react or treat her as she stood waiting for me to walk right into her arms. I carried myself and walked towards her and the moment I was in the middle of both arms, she locked her arms and gently patted my back. "You have no idea how much I wanted to see you." She whispered in my ear. She released me but held onto my shoulder, "tell me, has this bastard been treating you well, does he scold you, or give you the attention you deserve, tell me if you have any problems and I shall solve it." She said with a glare directed towards Richard while he avoided her gaze. I shake my head and defend Richard but she still didn't buy it, calling him all sorts of names and raining curses on him.
Although Richard didn't speak or reply to anything she said,

The bride of the Egos' Chapter 29. A Ruthless Ruler.
We started with books, they had a vast knowledge of literature, some of them could already recite the next lines of these books, so most times they would complete my sentences for me. The more I got to know them by being around them, the more I wished I could stay with them, but then I still had to see others, so I had to move quickly.After I had finished the book, the young ones applauded with excitement. I could hear the sound of Richard also applauding, he walked towards me and gave me a light kiss on my forehead. “You did well.” He said. After handing back over to their teacher, I walked straight to the next class. And just like that, I went on with my day, heading from one class to another and getting to know them a lot.Finally I was exhausted, Richard would reach from the bag and take out a bottle of water or a handkerchief to da
The bride of the Egos' Chapter 30. Richard's Past.
We had to leave at once, so we had to stop at the hotel once more so we could get all our belongings before we left. I was bothered and worried about Richard and his behavior, he just seemed so distant and difficult to approach. He did try his best so I wouldn't notice by smiling everytime our eyes met, but that wasn't enough to convince me that he was okay. "I'll go out in the car." Although that was an excuse to get away from me for a while, I could tell he needed some breathing space.I got ready, and sat on the bed for a while, thinking of how I could approach him, but for that I would at least need to know what was going on with him right? But how could I have an answer to that when he's so distant with me, it's more like he doesn't want me to know.Knock Knock!
The bride of the Egos' Chapter 31. One More Chance.
Jake's point of view]I was surprised when my doors burst open and Richard rushed into my house with his wife in his hand. Mira was unconscious, and Richard looked like he had seen a ghost, his eyes were wide open as he carried her, begging for help from my brother and I who he had distanced himself from.He told me that she had fallen asleep on their way back, and he was also asleep, unfortunately by the time they arrived she was still asleep, he had thought that she was asleep but that wasn't it. It's been a full day now and she still hasn't woken up. "Please help us." He begged with her in his arms.I didn't know what to do, and there was nothing I could do. I remembered Mal's words, and knew that her delivery
The bride of the Egos' Chapter 32. The Eyes Says It All.
I know it's nothing but a pair of eyes from a painting but the true meaning behind this painting freaks everyone out, she didn't need to know why it meant, cause if she didn't she'd be horrified. Jack looks at me and I at him, I shake my head, telling him not to say a word about it, he nods. "That my dear is the eyes of Lord Ego." Jack tells her. Regardless of the fact that he sounded like it was no big deal just now, I could sense how Jack trembled from his voice and how he just hesitated. He was staring at the painting with such intense fear, trying hard to maintain his composure."Well, it looks beautiful, I love the painting, why didn't they paint the rest of him?" She asked. She had no idea she was killing us from the inside, no one had the guts to look at this painting, not even our mother. It's been this way ever since he stepped into the
The bride of the Egos' Chapter 33. Your Past is A burden.
I felt blank, at a total loss of words, Mal didn’t look like he was kidding, his eyes were dripping out black blood and I know what it means. He always had dark blood dripping down his eyes whenever he saw something horrifying. Mal was born a pure vampire unlike my brother and he was blessed with extraordinary abilities, one that made my brother and myself unqualified to ever call ourselves a king. “Mal, listen to me. Calm down okay, just tell me what you saw.” I try to reason with him, it’s useless trying to get anything off him when he’s in such a state. “Breathe.” I told him. “Now, tell me what you saw.”“The curse had already begun the moment she conceived, that thing in him is killing her. If it’s born then you have my word when I say even you shall fear him. This house shall be divided
The bride of the Egos' Chapter 34. Betrayal.
Good gracious.It's been a month and a half since that day, Jack and I have been anxiously waiting for Richard to summon us. It wasn't until last night that he finally called, we were just about to board a plane when my phone rang, well of course we abandoned our flight. Mira wanted us to keep her company, and so we journeyed back here.I stopped after seeing her wave from her window. Hmm, it seems Mal helped heal her, of course, after watching her for that long he couldn't possibly let her be crippled. I could also see Richard through the window and believe me, he does not look happy even if he was the one who called us.She was in the kitchen and staring at us with a bowl in one hand and a spoon in another. She looked like she was trying to stay calm, but honestly, I couldn't say the same, especially s
The bride of the Egos' Chapter 35. A new side to Mal.
There she was on the bed, looking worse than before. Her breathing was slow and even her heartbeat made me worried. All I could see was a dried up body and not the woman I met outside a hotel months ago. Once every thirty seconds, she would cough a very dried cough. She looked so pale that we had to order for oxygen and invited as many midwives, nurses and doctors, sharmans, witch doctors and all those who all had contacts with vampires. Richard had refused to leave her side, he's been with her all day. Malicay said it's because the time was slowly approaching.Humans are really weak, to think she would suffer so much from just conceiving a Vampire, I felt like beating up Richard for being responsible but everyone was anticipating the birth of this child, even I can't deny it's importance. Richard hasn't moved an inch, and believe me when I say he looks depressed.
The bride of the Egos' Chapter 36. A Split Personality?
In a split second, the castle and everyone in it was turned upside down. The preparation for her delivery was carried out, people rushing with bowls of warm water, carrying a towel, setting up equipment and checking her pulse. No one stood or was an idol. Malicay left the room while I tailed behind, however the presence emitting from Malicay was not the same. As Malicay made his way to an abandoned room, he gripped his chest in pain and leaned on the wall to get support. "Mal." I rushed up to him and let him lean on me for support, but he slapped my hand away and continued on his own.Everytime he came across one person or the other he would give orders on what should be done. "Place black candles all around her bed, close the curtains, let no sunshine penetrate no matter what." He said.
