chapter 120

Catherine pov."I know what I did was wrong," I thought to myself, "but I need to keep my identity safe. If everyone finds out that I am not Lora, and that I have been lying ever since, I don't think they will all be able to forgive me."As I walked back to my room, my heart felt heavy in my chest. I sat down on my bed, holding my chest with one hand, and rubbing my forehead with the other. I could already imagine the look on Lux's face when he found out what I had just done to him. The thought made my heart beat faster, and I had to take deep breaths to calm myself down.Looking around the room, I noticed the sunlight streaming through the window, casting a warm glow on everything in its path. The room smelled of lavender, the scent of which I had sprayed earlier that day. I could hear the birds outside, chirping happily as they went about their day. Everything seemed so peaceful, and yet my heart felt anything but.As I stood up and walked over to the wardrobe, I felt a chill run do

chapter 121

Aria pov.My mom Had been acting strange and I wanted to know why. I notice my dad hasn't come out from his office but even though I think I need to talk to him.As I walked down the hallway towards my father's office, I couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. The air was thick with tension and unease, and my senses were on high alert. The sound of my footsteps echoed through the empty halls, each step punctuated by the creaking of the floorboards beneath my feet.When I arrived at my father's door, I knocked twice, but there was no response. I hesitated for a moment before pushing the door open slowly, peering into the dimly lit room. That's when I saw him - my father, slumped over on his desk, blood dripping down his face and staining his shirt.I rushed over to him, but as I reached out to touch him, he pushed me away with a violent force. His eyes were filled with an anger I had never seen before, and his voice was cold and bitter as he spoke."Get away from me, evil ch

chapter 122

Catherine pov.I slowly opened my eyes, taking in the dimly lit surroundings, trying to ascertain my location. There was an unsettling sensation, as if an unseen force was gripping me, but its nature eluded my understanding.Glancing around, I realized I was bound to a chair, confined within the oppressive confines of a shadowy room. A feeble bulb cast a faint glow, barely illuminating the multitude of boxes strewn about.I attempted to free myself, only to discover that the chains restraining me were unyielding, their grip unrelenting. My struggles proved futile, and a surge of helplessness washed over me.A desperate urge to scream welled up inside me, yet apprehension held me captive, uncertain if such an act would be wise.Suddenly, the image of Zuku, vibrant and alive, flashed across my mind, causing my heart to race. How could it be possible he was gone?Surveying my surroundings once more, I made another valiant attempt to break free, but my body felt feeble, devoid of strength

chapter 123

Aria pov.As I hurriedly made my way towards the castle, my feet pounding against the rugged terrain, I could feel the weight of my breath escaping my lips in ragged gasps. The sight before me was daunting—my father, his countenance filled with anger, his eyes piercing into my soul. Yet, there was something far more pressing that compelled me to seek him out. I needed him to know that our beloved mother was missing.Just as he was about to utter a word, I cut him off abruptly, determined to deliver the shocking news. "Dad, mom has been kidnapped," I blurted out, my voice quivering with a mix of fear and urgency.His expression transformed from anger to shock as he strode towards me, a palpable sense of fear etched across his face. "What?" he queried, his voice laced with disbelief, needing confirmation of the devastating truth."Dad, mom is missing," I reiterated, the gravity of the situation sinking in. I could sense his mounting distress as he clenched his fists against the wall, st

chapter 124

Lux pov.I have never been myself for so long, and I felt as if I was going insane. I could not believe this was actually happening to me, and I felt as if I was going to regret the decision I was about to make sooner or later.I walked around my office for more than half an hour, just pondering over what my daughter had told me. The weight of her words lingered in my mind, casting a shadow of doubt and uncertainty.I knew Andrew was behind this; who else could it be if not him? As I made my way over to my chair, I sat down, still consumed by thoughts of what to do and how to get my wife back.Sadness enveloped me as I reflected upon my outburst at her. It was my fault entirely, and I blamed myself for everything. If only I hadn't done what I did, she could have been here with me now, and none of this would have unfolded.I placed my hands over my face, overwhelmed by the impending chaos that seemed to loom over me like a dark cloud. "What should I do?" I questioned myself, feeling a

chapter 125

Aria pov.I know I don't need to trust Andrew, but I need to save Mom at all costs. After putting most of my weapons in my backpack, I decide it's time to make a move since it's nighttime.But just as I step out, I come into contact with Dad. Luckily for me, I come up with a lie and he allows me to go.Feeling foolish for not looking back, I didn't realize that my father has been following me. Once I reach the location Andrew asked me to come to, I drop my backpack on the grass. I take out a knife and hold it tightly, prepared in case Andrew decides to attack me from behind."Andrew!" I yell, scanning my surroundings. "I came as I promised. Now, where is Mom?" Anger laces my voice. After waiting for a while, he walks out with a smile on his face. He holds Mother close to him, her hands chained, and a gag over her mouth."That's where you are wrong, sister. You aren't alone, am I not right, Father?"I turn to where he's looking, and that's when I see my dad. "Dad?" I say, confused, as
