James walked to the bed and sat beside Lorraine. He was just as surprised as she was at the moment, if not even more. He tried to think of any possible reason why Ellie would have kept this a secret from the beginning. Was she trying to save Lorraine? From who? Was she trying to avoid the countless questions Lorraine would throw her way? Does his grandmother also know who Lorraine's parents were?At this point, there was nothing much left again to believe. He won't be shocked to know that his grandmother also knew who Lorraine's parents were all this while and also pretended not to know just like Ellie had done."Are you trying to say Ellie knew who your parents were all this while and did not tell you? God!" He exhaled. He could not imagine what Lorraine was going through now. In his thoughts, he imagined that she was finally happy to find out who her parents were even if they were not alive. In another, he imagined how betrayed she would have felt when she found out that Ellie, who

Sitting on one of the couches in the room, Kelvin looked at all the portraits hung on the wall. Directly opposite to where he was sitting was the wedding photograph of his sister and the mayor, smiling. There was almost nothing in this world that made him happier than seeing that his sister was happy. On their wedding day, many things had happened that if not for him would have hindered the success of the marriage. First was the damaged cake. How did it even happen? The caterer had delivered the cake at the reception venue and while the waiters were trying to carry the cake to its position, one of them had slumped and that had sent the cake flying to the other side. Kelvin had to instantly rush to the only mall available and get a cake as big as the damaged one to replace it, for almost twice the price of the caterer's charge. A dirty world we live in. Exploitation at the slightest chance. "Who's there," the mayor's wife asked when she heard sounds coming from the down floor. She loo

Without any question, resistance, or hesitation Lorraine followed her, wiping the sweat forming on her face with the back of her hand.In no time, they walked through various hallways, and they suddenly appear before a heavy oak door. The door swung open, revealing a royal chamber. Ellie turned to her and smiled at her weakly. She took in a heavy breath and exhaled. Before they entered the hall, Ellie gave her time to recuperate and calm down.When they finally trotted into the chamber, a big chandelier hung down in the middle of the chamber, casting a warm glow upon the polished flower-designed marble floor.In all sincerity, it was quite the opposite of what she had expected a "sanctuary for witches" would look like. She had expected a room with a giant throne up high and the queen sitting there, looking down upon the council and the subjects exactly as it was shown in Game Of Thrones.However, right before them now, was just an average-sized room with a big table perfected in the ce

Lorraine raised her leg to take a step but when she heard what Herla had said, she paused, leaving the the leg hanging in the air, and her body froze."My mother's room?" Lorraine exclaimed, surprised."Yes, this is Annabella's room. She loved it.""You know my mother?" Lorraine asked finally getting back control of herself. She wondered why she froze every single time she hears her mother's name.Herla floated around, making some odd screeching sounds, "Yes. Your mother was my friend. It was sad to hear of her demise."Suddenly a gown came floating down from up, Lorraine raised her hands up and the gown made its way into her. She combed her hair and sat before the mirror to look at herself.Her mind flashed back to James and she smiled at the thoughts of him. She wondered what he might be doing at the moment."You're in love? I can see it in your eyes. With a human?"Lorraine did not respond. There were limits to what she was going to allow. And any interference in her personal life w

Lorraine's POVJames dropped me off at Ellie's place in the evening after Ellie asked me to come. When I alighted James's car, he stared at me. Even as I walked away, I felt his eyes move along with me with every step I took.I smiled. Wasn't it wonderful to have someone who loved a person so much? Yes. It was.When I got to the door, I placed my hands on the doorknob to push it open but stopped and turned to James m he was still there, his eyes telling me to go on in. I blushed and blew him a kiss. He smiled before turning the key into an ignition and drove away.Ellie and I began to walk into the same forest we had walked into the other day. But this time, we walked farther than we did the last time.For no reason, I still hated the fact that Ellie had an idea who my parents are but still hadn't said anything related to it to me. To be sincere, I had expected her to sit me down and narrate everything she knew to me but she didn't. Rather, she led me into the deepest part of the for
