Maria's POV

It felt hazy when I woke up later that evening. Elijah had sent for Elvira earlier, he had mentioned that he had something important that he wanted her to do. I tried my best to cope with the loneliness, considering that I still felt the dull ache of loss.

"Hello," I heard Nathan's voice from the door. He had not even bothered to knock this time around. Even though I didn't want to unlock it, I felt the need to rid him of the guilt that he had something to do with the loss of my child.

"Hey," I said as I opened the door and stood aside to let him in.

"I've been trying to see you," he said quietly as he stood opposite me in the living room.

"I forgive you. You don't have to worry." I quickly said, his presence immediately bringing back the memories that I thought I lost.

"Friendly hug?" He asked me and opened his arms wide.

"Yeah, I guess so," I said, taking a deep breath before I made my way into his arms.

He hugged me warmly, his arms offering me a sort of safety

  • Veil Of Destiny   82: The Judgement

    Elijah's POV My heart was pounding in my chest as I made my way back to the palace. Maria had not been any different and it broke my heart the more that she had done it with the one person that she had denied having any interest in. Her moans, those guttural screams had not seemed natural, she had suddenly lost her speech when she saw that I had come in. The image of her lying down on the floor frozen while Nathan touched her however he wanted was still etched in my brain. He must have thought that I was a fool all this while, protecting what he had full access to. Elizabeth was waiting at the entrance of the palace. "Welcome back. I was worried about you, Where did you go?" She asked me, pulling the robe consciously across her chest. "Why are you worried about me?" I demanded from her, my chest still burning from the betrayal that I had just faced. "Elijah, we are not enemies, are we? I was scared and alone in my room, it was a rainy night." She said and that was when I took not

  • Veil Of Destiny   80: Not a knight in shining armour

    Elijah's POV "You know she told me what you did?" I asked Nathan as he sat opposite me, his eyes looking at me like there was something else going on in his head. "What did she say I did?" He asked me nonchalantly, even though I could see him swallowing nervously and beads of sweat appeared on his head. "You bloody hell know what you did. How could you even think of doing such a thing?" I waved my fingers at him angrily. "There's no reason to be so upset about it, She doesn't really care. I'm sure she is happy to be able to get rid of one of those bas... kids " he corrected himself when I sent him deadly stares. "You shouldn't have done that. You definitely shouldn't. You have no idea what that woman has been through. Nathan, you should not be putting her through all of this." I challenged him, daring him to say anything to counter what I was saying. "She isn't upset. I've told you that she enjoys the attention, I'll find a way to prove it to you, you will see." He said the word

  • Veil Of Destiny   79: The Weight of Loss

    Maria's POV It has been two long days, two days of pure agony and heart-wrenching sadness. I could feel a part of me dying slowly like a grass that somehow can't seem to get a touch of the rain. It was heavy, a burden that I had never known its weight before it was cruelly dropped on my shoulders. For one moment in my life, I felt nothing. Just raw sadness and depression. Elvira moved in with me to help me cope as I refused to go to the palace or move in with Elvira. I had initially kicked against having her around but they would not hear of it and insisted that I had to take an option. Nathan has kept his distance and even the mere sight of him annoyed me. Elijah had made sure that he stayed away and Elvira did a good job in telling him that I was indisposed all of the eleven times that he had come to see me in the last two days. "He looks remorseful Maria. I think you should just hear him out, I don't think that he meant for anything bad to happen to you or the baby" Elvira said

  • Veil Of Destiny   78: The Loss of One

    Maria's POV The last thing I remembered was Elvira's shrill scream piercing into the silence of the night as soon as I opened the door. It was as if the scream had tripped off a valve in my head because I immediately felt faint as I felt myself falling backwards. "Don't fall down" Elvira said as she dived for me, making sure to break my fall to the hard floor with her body. This place was unfamiliar, it didn't look like anywhere that I had ever been. It felt surreal yet, there was a kind of familiarity about it that gave me peace. It was almost like this was not my first time here, as if this was where I truly belonged. This was home. "Your mission is not yet accomplished, Why are you here?" I heard a female voice speaking to me angrily from the mist. "I don't know where I am or how I got here. I only remember passing out in the living room of my house" I said to the fog even though I could now make out figures from the darkness. "But your mission is not yet accomplished; you ca

  • Veil Of Destiny   77: Over the Seas

    Maria's POV I didn't know why I ran away, I was too overwhelmed with everything going on and soon enough, I was beginning to feel that my chest was tightening. Nathan had wanted to follow me but I could hear the low growl of Elvira keeping everyone in place. A few minutes later, I heard the leaves behind me rustling a little. I turned to find Elijah behind me. Drawing in a deep breath, I pulled myself together before he even got to me. "I'm sorry about Nathan. He told me that he would behave himself before we got there" Elijah said before he sat down beside me on the edge of a rock beside the clinic. "It's fine. I just hated being the centre of the conversation. It really makes me too self-conscious and I wasn't prepared to be at the time" I answered curtly without bothering to look at him, even though I could feel his eyes on my body. "How do you feel today? Maria mentioned to me in confidence that you are having nightmares. Do you want to talk about it with me?" He asked me, hi
