49. Queen of My own Kingdom

ANTONIO“What’s going on?” Ephraim asked as we waited on the terrace for Gianna and Erica. Surprisingly, both of them seemed to have called a truce on their animosity for some reason. And even though I knew that Erica didn’t have any other agenda, I didn’t trust Gianna. She was really my daughter for all the things that mattered, and if she had a grudge with someone she didn’t let it go so easily, so for her to be smiling and talking with Erica like she hadn’t told me to get rid of her was alarming. I had to warn Erica unless she does something to hurt her.I looked at Ephraim and answered, “She knows about Gianna. And about my reason to hate Gabriel Wolfe.”Ephraim looked at me with a shocked expression on his face. He said, “You told her everything.” It wasn’t a question but I nodded. “About your emails, and the exchange you discussed with Gabriel?”“She isn't going anywhere.” I gritted out.“Yeah, I know. But it's the reason he will be coming here like a lamb to a slaughter. Did yo

50. Are you cheating?

ERICAI heard Ephraim’s and Antonio’s conversation, and I might’ve missed some parts but I understood it well enough so when we stepped down from the chopper, even though I was angry I couldn’t banish the spark of worry that came alive in my heart. I stopped and turned around. “Antonio!” I called out his name over the noise of the chopper. He looked back at me and then walked toward me. I erased the remaining distance between us and looked up at his handsome face. “What is it?” He asked.I licked my lips, suddenly hesitant after the tension between us. When I placed my palm on his chest, feeling his strong heartbeat an image of him in a hospital bed flashed in my mind. He was there then because he had gotten shot while saving me and the bitter helpless feeling from that time coated the back of my tongue. I didn't want the repeat of that, so I said, “Please, be safe.”His golden eyes sparked yellow and he slipped his hand at the back of my nape as he replied, “Don’t worry, little devi

51. It was all an act

ERICA “Are you cheating on my papa?” “What?” I stared at her and realised she was totally serious. I scoffed and a chuckle left me as even the prospect of cheating on a man like Antonio was laughable to me. I met her eyes and replied, “No. I’m not cheating on him. And I can see that you’d like for that to be the case, but unfortunately for you I am not that kind of a woman. Neither I’m a cheater and nor I’m a gold digger of which you accused me without knowing me.” “Then why did you ask for my phone? Who are you calling behind my father’s back?” I looked down at the phone in my hand that I had slipped out to check again, it was unlocked and on the screen as a wallpaper there was a picture of her with Ephraim and Antonio. As I watched the picture, looking at their happy faces, I couldn't help but miss my own family. I drank more from my mug and in a moment of weakness which was probably because of the whiskey that seemed to be rushing to my he

52. Find a way to run

ERICA“I am sorry. I didn’t know about your situation. That papa brought you here against your will. I just didn’t want anyone to change what we already have.”Hate welled up inside me, surprising even me in its intensity. I clenched my fists by my sides unless I punch her in the face. She was a real bîtch, wasn’t she? “And what you were going to do about it?” I gestured at the open packets of pills and the white powder she had thrown all over the bed. “Make it all my fault!” I was aware that I was on the verge of losing control but I didn’t know what to do. Thor barked and growled at her, I commanded him to be silent and sit down as I fought my rage.“I made a mistake. I just thought—”“What did you think, that you’ll blame it all on me. Tell your father that I was the one who bought these drugs. And what else?” I could only think what Antonio would have gone or behaved like when he found this. I wondered if he'd have believed his daughter’s lies or trusted me, but then considering m

53. My phone

ERICAMy knees bounced as my anxiety started to get worse while I sat there at the end of the bed, looking around myself feeling alone like I was in a well, forgotten and helpless. Thor got tired of my agitation, at least that’s what I think was the reason for him to go sit near the windows. But I couldn’t help it as no matter how much I tried to think of something else my thoughts circled back to what Mac had said to me, and my body buzzed with an unfamiliar energy as my mind conjured up all the unwanted stuff that must be happening back at home. The emails. The threats. Antonio’s ultimatum. And my sister... Fuck. Gabe and Summer must be devastated from the miscarriage. And I was here wondering about how I could keep Antonio for myself. Having the time of my life with him despite knowing how hungry he was for revenge. Unknowingly I had become so selfish, looking forward to an impossible future, that I forgot about everything else.I stood up and had to stop for a moment as black dot

54. It hurts too much

ERICA It was loud enough. The cracks that formed in my heart and how it started to break into pieces as I opened the next email. There was another picture of me. It was edited in such a way that it highlighted my hands with a bandage and my back to be specific, with red lines that looked horrible and blood smeared on the side of my arse cheek. The picture in itself looked horrific, like someone was beaten so severely. My whole back looked like any moment it’d start bleeding and while I knew that wasn’t the case, sobs started to pour out of me to think that my sister saw this and Gabe saw this. They must’ve been so scared for me, and Antonio’s words accompanied with these pictures were cruel and heartless. The way he described what he did and what he would do if Gabriel didn’t surrender himself.

55. What did you do?!

ANTONIO“What's going on with you?” I looked up at Ephraim, arching a dark brow at him like I didn’t know what he was talking about. He said, “It’s the fourth time you’re checking the time on your watch.”“Nothing.”“You can tell me. It’s obviously something about Erica, right?” “Not per se about Erica, but I didn’t like how Gianna was behaving with her. I know her, she’s my daughter. And, as much as she was smiling and was sweetly behaving toward Erica, I don’t trust her. I’m just afraid she doesn’t cross the line.”“Do you want me to call Mario and get an update from him?” He asked, pulling out his phone from his pocket.“Leave it. We will be there soon enough.”Ephraim shook his head and muttered, “I’ll just do it. You are too tense.”I couldn’t explain it but since we left the factory site, I have got this bad feeling for some reason. And I have this urge to go back to the castle and have my little devil in my arms, look at her beautiful face. I focused back on Ephraim and notice

56. Centre of my world

ANTONIO “Erica!!” I dropped down on my knees, every cell in my body screaming at the scene in front of me. It was like someone pulled out a worst nightmare and made it a reality. “No. What did you do!!??” Fear escalated inside me, poisoning my heart as I took her in. My heart cried. My little devil. This couldn’t be happening. I have already lost enough, suffered enough, but this would end me. Her face was ashen, her lips blue and there was a thin line of white foam dripping down her chin from the corner of her mouth. It was a nightmare that never even imagined will come into existence as I realised that her chest wasn’t moving.“Fuck. Fuck. Fuck!” Ephraim cursed as he came up behind me. With sheer determination I pushed terror away and took a shuddering breath, trying not to fûcking lose it. Because she needed me right now. I turned to Ephraim, noticing Gianna and Mario entering the bedroom behind him. I said, “Take them downstairs. Call the chopper. Now!”I didn’t wait as I focus

57. You'll lose your wife too

EPHRAIM If I had even a miniscule of a doubt about what they meant to each other, it vanished as I watched Antonio fussing over sleeping Erica. We were in a hospital since last seven hours. The dawn was about to break over the horizon but Antonio was still aggravated even after the doctors told him that she was out of danger and all her vitals were good. When we had reached the hospital, the female doctor hadn’t paid heed to Antonio as she had checked Erica like any other patient and told the nurses to wheel her into a public emergency room. I knew how close Antonio was to strangling the doctor in front of everyone so I had managed to stall him long enough to have Doctor Mackles— which was on a retainer for us, and was available whenever for whatever we needed from him, arrive at the premises. Doctor Mackles treated Erica, aware of Antonio’s reputation and how much the situation was affecting him— the way he vibrated with tense energy, he had taken his time and put her on ventilat

58. Don't touch me

ANTONIO I don't want to lose her. Ephraim’s words were rattling around my mind and all I could think was that I don’t want to lose her. Even the thought made bitterness and a hollow feeling fill me up like one by one my organs would shut down if it became a possibility. And yet I still couldn’t come up with a solution. I knew Ephraim was right and I knew I made a mistake by sending these pictures and keeping her in the dark when I was moving forward with my plans. But the question remains, haunting me and poisoning my heart with guilt, how could I possibly let go of something that had driven me all these years. Let the killer of my sister live happily while she died so young? It would be equal to not only betraying her memory but the brother I was to her. And even if I managed to put my hatred of Gabriel Wolfe aside, if I laid my revenge to rest, will it solve our problems? Will Erica stop hating me for the pictures I shared with Gabriel? Will she forgive me for the betrayal? Wi
