XAVIERHe was just about to leave the house when I drove in. Without parking properly, I jumped down from the car, leaving the door wide open and walked up to him. It had been over a month since I saw him and his face looked a little different, his beards looking more overgrown than they used to. His eyebags were more prominent now, telling that he wasn't sleeping properly and he had been under a lot of pressure quite recently. That wasn't anyone's fault but his. If he had allowed himself some peace of mind and did not act like Marissa and her father were some form of golden goose that couldn't be let go, he wouldn't be in this situation. Seeing me, his face turned dark and he let go of the car door that he was holding, straightening his suit and waiting for me to state why I was here. “This is what I should have done a long time ago. The moment I threaten her, you come running home like a dog, trying to protect its owner. What do you think you can do to protect her now?” Knowing

XAVIERIt had been almost a week since I saw her eyes. Earlier this morning, I heard the nurse telling my uncle that she wasn't responding to the treatments. “It’s like her body keeps rejecting it. You might have to bring her back to the hospital. My only fear is the doctors prescribing hospice.” Hospice?! Not on my watch. Xerxes didn't know I heard that and the look on his face when he came out of the room and saw me standing there was one of shock. The nurse stealthily walked away, leaving us alone. “Did she really mean that? Will she die?” He placed his hand in his pocket and breathed heavily.“Xavier, we just have to hope that things will be good. Listen, we have to do something fast. The fact that we know that what is wrong with her isn't a natural thing is a good step. At least, we know where the problem lies. The only thing now is the solution to it.”Chris Jenkins. He was always heavily protected by his father and his guards so it might be pretty hard to get through t

XAVIEREven though my attention wasn't focused on it, I couldn't help but notice how huge the hall was. Whoever planned this ball or dinner surely had a plan. To bring all the wealthy people in the city and outside, in one space and they had some just that. As we entered the hall, I couldn't help but take note of several familiar faces that I'd come across during the times I went out with my father. This time around, I wasn't with him. I was with a man that was known and feared, a man who was known for his actions. I'm sure it wouldn't have been hard for them to put two and two together and figure out that we were related in a way. After all, we did have the same surname. “Wow, they're really not going easy on the states, are they?” Falcon whispered. I was used to being the centre of attention so all that didn't affect me. The camera crews didn't take it easy either and we couldn't walk off the red carpet faster. The first person that walked up to my uncle seemed to be someone

XAVIERHe was throwing his head back in laughter. Harry Jenkins, I mean. Laughing loudly at what his group of friends were saying, I frowned because I was sure nothing was that funny. As we approached the group, my uncle turned to me.“The floor is yours.”A moment of confusion hit me at first but I quickly gained myself and squared my shoulders. “Mr Jenkins. A moment.” His smile faded as he turned to face me, confused about who I was at first but then he saw my uncle behind me. “Young man, how may I help you? Xerxes, do you know who he is?” I didn't need my uncle to speak for me. “My name is Xavier Volkov. Son of Marcus Volkov. I have no business with you, I need to see your son.” He turned back to his group, obviously uncomfortable about the whole situation so he tried to play it cool.“Young man, I don't know what you think you're doing but it's not funny. I was having a conversation with adults here. If you're one of my son's little friends, I'm sure you should know where

XAVIERWe strolled into the quiet mansion and the angry stomping of his heels against the marble floor was the only thing that could be heard. Xerxes, Falcon and I followed closely behind him, letting him take the lead to find his psycho son. “Chris! Chris!” Every call got louder but he was met with silence. Then one of the guards stepped closer to him. “Sir, he went into his room earlier with a couple of…girls and he hasn't come out since. He's been playing loud music so he can't hear you.” Harry didn't even bother to hide his disappointment as he turned back to us. “Unfortunately, my son is an idiot and a colossal disgrace and I can't hide that anymore so you will have to come back. You heard that he's indisposed. He won't be of any use to you in that state. Maybe you could come by another time.” Knowing that I was in no mood to see a drunk man, I turned to my uncle to check if we were on the same page and he gave me a look that told me “You’re in charge. Do what you want.”

XAVIERAs we left the house, I didn't want to believe that we had come here for nothing. We stood together outside, in silence. My knuckles were throbbing, Chris' blood still on them. His father had gotten a punch too since he refused to stay out of my business. “What am I going to do? If he can't trace them, how would we get to them? What do we do?” It seemed like we had just hit a brick wall. After going through all that stress to find Chris, we had hit nothing. “Don’t worry, I'll get Chris’ phone, check out his call logs and track down the number called. It should give us something even if it's not the exact location.” Somehow, I didn't have a lot of hope in it but that was the only thing I could do. As we got in the car, my mind ran far. Want if we were not able to fix her to get the poison out of her quick enough? It was killing her quickly and we didn't know anyone else who was strong enough or was a witch. Then for a moment, something crossed my mind. “How did you and

MIAI could hear him. Not just him, everything they said in that room, I could hear everything that they said. Including when the nurse told Xerxes she wasn't sure I was going to live for much longer because of the poison. My heart rate must have spiked up, hearing that I was going to die and they didn't know what to do. Knowing that there was no way I could be involved in what was going on out there, I decided to focus on what was going on in here. Elara had been keeping me company throughout, helping me to make sense of the whole thing. She had been my eyes and ears and the one to tell me if things were going good or burning to ashes. “Do you have any news? What's going on?”She sat down with me in the grass. We were in some sort of meadow. The breeze was gentle and the sun, equally gentle. In a field of sunflowers and bees that minded their business, it felt like it was heaven even though hell was going on outside. “No news yet. Did he say anything when he came in here?” No

XAVIERThe next two days were filled with drama. The police reached out, saying that they wanted to close the case and they needed us at the station. Madison and her father were there already, looking like they were remorseful for what they had done. Madison particularly, looked like a shadow of himself. She had lost color and her hair looked very unkempt. “Mr Volkov, are you sure you want to drop the case? You won't be able to bring it up again if you let it go.”There was no need to make things last longer. Mia was trying to move past it so much and we had other issue right now so the last thing we need is more problems. “Yes, just let it go. My lawyers will reach out to you.”Her father spoke up when he shouldn't have. “Why don't we talk about this? There's no need for the press conference. We can just settle this amicably. What does the girl want? Money? I can give her money. Let me write her a cheque.” I didn't realize when I started laughing. They all stopped to look at me

MIAIt has been over a week since I'd been in this coma. It was hell, I was just wasting away in bed while I could be it there doing so much more. Esme was done with exams so she was coming to spend time with me. Seeing her at my side everyday broke my heart because she always spoke to me and gave me updates like I couldn't hear her. It felt like I was making her pause her life for me. In the meantime, Elana and Magma had been working on something. According to them, if I could take advantage of the full moon and cast a couple of spells, then it should reverse the effects of the poison. Easy, right? But there were only three problems. Firstly, it wasn't sure to work. It was my soul that would be casting the spells and it wasn't sure to work because it had never been done that way before. Two, I would need my powers or at least, the bracelet if I wanted the spell to work. Three, I didn't know the bloody first thing about casting spell. The chances of me turning myself into a f

XAVIER“What-what are you telling me? What does that even mean?”My brain wasn't processing thoughts right now. And certainly not what she was saying. She remained silent, staring at me like she hadn't just said words that confused me. “I’m saying…she's here. Mia. Well, not her.”The frown on my face was getting deeper because I looked around and I didn't see her. “Please tell me what you mean because you're not making any sense. Where is Mia?” She took a couple steps back and looked beside her. “She’s here. Her soul. Her soul is here.”I looked at the bare ground, trying so hard to not look stupid, knowing that there was no one there. Was Magma playing a prank on me? But she knew the severity of the situation and she wouldn't do something like that. “She said she knows you'll doubt so she said I should tell you she knows about the birth mark on your butt that you're ashamed of.”I didn't know when I started laughing. My baby was here. Not in the flesh but right here. The urge
