❄ CHAPTER 41 ❄ Axion can be seen in his office at home, going through a file when out of a sudden... " Axion!! " He heard Phoenix scream his name making him jerk. " Phoenix? " He mumbled, getting up and dashing out of the office to his room. He was more than shocked when he didn't see Phoenix in bed. Her voice came up again in his head and his body hair stood in alarm as a bad feeling consumed him. It was a feeling his Phoenix was in danger. Almost immediately, a vision appeared to him. In the vision he could see Phoenix lying helplessly on the floor, covered in blood and calling out for him, in a weak state. His eyes poked out in great horror. " Phoenix! " He exclaimed and disappeared instantly. He reappeared in the room Phoenix was in. Seeing her in great pain, he too felt a sharp pain pierce his heart. He instantly hurried to her. " Phoenix " He called softly, squatting before her and placing her head on his lap. Seeing him, " Axion " Phoenix smiled faintly. " Sush " Axio

❄️ CHAPTER 43 ❄️ " Hello...little brother " These words were like waves of shock that struck Axion's brain and his jaw almost lowered to the ground. Little brother? How? Who is this man standing before him and why do they look exactly alike? " So nice to finally meet you after 27 years of waiting " Corbin's grin was an evil one that had so many emotions lurking behind it. " By the way...I'm Corbin and I'm back " He reached out his hand for a shake but Axion only gaped at him like he was so sort of a mad man. Corbin frowned in disapproval but then, he scoffed. " Oh, I forgot. You don't even remember me...do you? " One could see and feel the pain and disappointment behind his scoff as he snarled at Axion with all the hatred he has for him evident in his dangerous gray eyes. Ever since he was born, Medusa had always tormented and inflicted pain on him in that dungeon whilst instigating him against Axion. And now all he yearns for is to rip Axion apart right away but...not so fast. F

❄ CHAPTER 45 ❄ Phoenix strode down the path leading to Alastair's clan. It was finally time to meet him but Glinda didn't let her go unprepared. She did a great job with the makeover that made her look more like Ashley than Phoenix. She also cast a spell on her that entirely changed her voice to Ashley's and told her everything there is to know about Alastair. Phoenix's heart throbbed in fear and nervousness as she came to a halt right before the door. She is about to meet with a wizard pretending to be her mother and she couldn't help but be nervous. Exhaling deeply to steady her racing heart, she stepped in. Right there standing by the mirror, was Alastair who was backing her and all dressed up. Unlike before when everything in his clan was unkempt and old, everywhere was sparkling neat and decorated beautifully. In the middle was a table fashioned with flowers, roses to be specific with a jar of wine and cups. Alastair turned gracefully and the moment his eyes landed on the bea

❄ 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 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
