All Chapters of No Escape From Fate : Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

I didn’t understand Iza’s reaction. I could clearly see that Kays interested her more than enough—she melted in my hands, and the tremor with which she responded to my kisses and touches… And yet, for some reason, she denied it and fought herself. Perhaps the girl was in shock and simply couldn’t process what she had heard right away. Most likely, she needed some time—to think everything through and come to terms with the situation.But be that as it may, it upset me greatly, irritated me, and knocked me completely off balance. Anxious thoughts began to press down on me with suffocating force.And once again—a whole day with the candidates, in whom I no longer saw any meaning. Everything had become colorless and insignificant, carried out purely by inertia.Sitting at dinner with Madina on the terrace overlooking the evening city, I couldn’t focus on anything at all—not on the girl sitting opposite me, not on the conversation, not on the food—on nothing except those bottomless blue ey

“And since you’ve already made your choice, why delay our wonderful moment?” I looked at Iza coldly as I advanced on her. “We’ll begin right now.”For a second, I noticed fear in her eyes—but it quickly gave way to resolve.“Alright,” the wretch swallowed and agreed quietly, starting to unbutton her blouse with trembling hands.This is all so wrong. But furious demons were already ruling me, and I couldn’t stop.“You say you love me. You say you want to be with me… Then look at me and enjoy it,” I stepped closer, tearing my own clothes off in sharp, impatient movements.I didn’t hide anything—not the black stains where my karpits should be, nor the other obvious deformities that had driven more than one girl to flee my bedroom, even after they had hastily agreed.Let her look. She chose money—so she has to earn it. I had no intention of being gentle, though the very thought of being rough with her stabbed mercilessly at my chest.By the time I reached her, I was already down to my und

I wake up to warm rays of sunlight shining straight into my face. That’s rather strange, since I usually prefer near-constant twilight in my room.I open my eyes, and the first thing I notice is that my bed is empty. It couldn’t all have been a dream, could it?! I shift my gaze and see the motionless silhouette of my beloved, standing by the window with her back to me, bathed in sunlight.Something snaps inside me, and panic surges in all its force. No, no, no! Not her! It had to work!I spring out of bed and, already on the verge of hysteria, wrap my arms around my beloved’s figure. But she isn’t cold porcelain—she’s warm and soft, very much alive.“What’s wrong with you?” my prepedollie asks in surprise, turning around in my arms and giving me a charming, tender smile.If only she knew how my heart just unclenched.“I got scared,” I admit, hugging my woman tighter, breathing in her scent and savoring her warmth, repeating to myself, Alive. She’s alive.She’s wearing only one of my s

Iza:Several days earlier.After I discovered the book, the hidden room, and dozens of porcelain girls, curiosity overcame fear—and I needed, desperately, to get into that room. I felt there were many answers there to my questions. It wasn’t hidden by magic for nothing. And, as is well known, not all magic works on me.Taking my friends with me, we went to Briol, where I ordered lock picks. Yafi was very surprised by such a request, and Io turned pale when she realized what I was planning.“Are you out of your mind?!” the brunette looks at me in panic. “Iza, this could be dangerous! That room isn’t hidden for no reason!”“Exactly,” I look at my friend confidently, not thinking of backing down. “Not for nothing. I’m sure there are answers there—at least to some of my questions. I feel that I HAVE to do this. It’s not for nothing that someone is guiding me, slipping me books. And these dreams…”“Yeah, or it’s some bloodthirsty palace ghost luring innocent victims to itself!” Iolanta ref

I slowly step out of the room, feeling reality press down on me with an unbearable weight. I must look awful. The gears in my head are spinning at a frantic speed. There’s too much shocking information, and my brain is trying to process it all—but it’s not going very well. Noticing my state, Iolanta and Yafi rush over to me.“Oh gods! Iza!” the girl wails, anxiously examining me, while Yafi helps me move—my limbs have gone completely weak.“Alright, girls, let’s get the hell out of here,” the blond hustles me along quickly. “The fact that Iza walked straight into a wall gives me the creeps. I thought I’d seen a lot, but this is damn terrifying.”By the time we reach my room, I’ve more or less come back to my senses and regained control of my body. Io insistently decides to give me hot, calming tea and heads to the kitchen, while Yafi stays with me.“Iza, are you okay?” my friend worries, squatting in front of me as I plop down into an armchair and close my eyes.“Yes, Yafi, I’m okay,”
