Chapter 52In the dimly lit laboratory, Augustine sat across from Aeron, who was securely strapped to a machine. The air hummed with an undercurrent of tension as Augustine nervously tapped his feet on the cold floor, his eyes fixed intently on Aeron.Abruptly standing, Augustine approached Aeron with a sinister gleam in his eyes. "So, here's what we'll do," he declared, leaning in closer. "I'll give you the antidote to the neutralizer I have on you, and you'll mindlink Myra, telling her that you're no longer interested in having anything to do with her. You're leaving for good."Aeron's gaze bore into Augustine's, defiance etched across his face. "There's no way I'm doing that," he asserted.Augustine erupted into maniacal laughter, the sound echoing through the sterile lab. "Always the strong guy, but not this time. You're going to do it," he insisted, his tone cold and unyielding."Why would I do that?" Aeron demanded, his eyes narrowing in suspicion."Because," Augustine replied c

Chapter 54How long had it been? She'd lost count of the days but it definitely had been a long time and she had been in that spot. No food, no water, no bath - no nothing. She was stull struggling to grasp the fact that Aeron had abruptly left her? That he'd never loved her? That it had all been one big hoax? How? As she sat in solitude in her room, Images of their shared moments flickered through Myra's mind like a heart-wrenching slideshow. The laughter that echoed in the corners of their home, the whispered promises that lingered in the air, and the quiet moments of intimacy that forged a connection between their souls – all of it now felt like fragile fragments of a dream that had slipped away.Her eyes fell on the image in her phone. She had stolen a snapshot of when Aeron had fallen asleep with Allistar in his arms. In the image, Aeron's eyes held a warmth that seemed distant now, and Myra's smile radiated the joy that had once been their everyday reality. It was a moment fro

Chapter 56The sterile hum of machinery filled Augustine's lab as he entered, a jubilant spring in his step and an elated expression on his face. His eyes sparkled with the triumph of a man who had just uncovered a secret trove of treasures. Turning to the weakened figure of Aeron, restrained and vulnerable on the machine, Augustine couldn't contain his excitement."I just struck gold," he declared, his voice dripping with satisfaction.Aeron, his once formidable countenance reduced to a shadow of its former self, remained silent, his eyes fixed on some distant point as though trying to disconnect from the harrowing reality of his captivity.Augustine, undeterred by Aeron's stoic silence, turned to him once again, his demeanor shifting from exuberant to maniacal. "Don't you want to know what I'm talking about?" he sneered.Aeron, a hint of defiance still lingering in his gaze, responded, "Why should I care about anything that pertains to you?"Augustine chuckled, the sound resonating

Chapter 58Myra found herself standing in the heart of a dense forest, surrounded by towering trees that seemed to stretch endlessly into the sky. The air was thick with the earthy scent of the woods, and a sense of disorientation washed over her as she struggled to understand how she had ended up in this unfamiliar place. With furrowed brows and a searching gaze, she looked around, the leaves rustling softly in the gentle breeze as she tried to grasp her whereabouts."Where am I? What am I doing here?" Myra muttered to herself, her voice tinged with confusion and growing anxiety. She tried to recall what had led her to this unfamiliar territory, but her thoughts remained fragmented and elusive, leaving her with a deep sense of unease.As she began to navigate through the labyrinth of trees, a hushed whisper, barely audible at first, reached her ears. Myra's heart skipped a beat as she strained to catch the source of the voice, her senses sharpened by a sudden sense of urgency. "Who's

Chapter 60In the dimly lit lab, Augustine stood before Aeron, his laughter echoing off the sterile walls. Aeron, restrained and weakened, looked up with defiant eyes as Augustine approached, a sinister grin etched across his face."Oh boy! Am I happy?" He said as he got close to Aeron. He looked at Aeron with a grim look when he didnt get any reaction or response from him. "You don't want to know why I'm so happy?" He asked, arching his brows. "It doesn't matter, I'll still tell you anyway. Myra hates you now," Augustine sneered, relishing the words. "You know what she said? That she'll never forgive you." Augustine circled Aeron, reveling in the power he believed he held over him.He walked away, clapping gleefully, his voice dripping with malevolence. "Isn't that wonderful? My plans worked perfectly well" Augustine added, savoring the bitterness of Myra's supposed hatred. "Now, I can continue with the process of extracting your powers without fear of Myra interfering her feelings f
