All Chapters of I'm Your Brother's Wife Dear Ace : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Lyra“Ahh!” I cried out one last time, the room spinning violently before my knees buckled, and I lost consciousness completely, falling into the dark.____“Lyra, come to Mommy,” a woman's voice called out softly. Her face was completely covered in a thick, shifting haze.I walked toward her, desperate to finally see her features, but the closer I got, the farther away she drifted.“Mommy, wait!” I called out. I was instantly surprised by my own voice, I hadn't actually spoken those words aloud.And like always, the environment abruptly dissolved into a dark, boundless field.“Run, Lyra, run!” her voice rang out in the cold air. My small, childlike legs tried to sprint, but before I could take a single step, a pair of large, strong hands clamped down on me.I tried to turn around to see who it was, desperate to know what was going on, but the heavy hands knocked me out cold._____“Ahhhh!” I jolted awake with a sharp gasp, breathing heavily as my shoulders trembled uncontrollably.

LyraThey shoved me roughly into my room, and the heavy wooden doors clicked shut, the lock turning sharply from the outside.I lay on the floor, tears gushing out of my eyes. I had never missed anyone the way I missed Ace in that exact moment. He would have never let this happen to me. He would have never allowed them to lay a finger on me. I thought My father had slapped me across the face because of another girl who wasn't even related to him, just because she was Draven's mistress. I clenched my hands into tight fists, rage burning through my sorrow.I was completely tired of trying to justify my father's actions, tired of forcing myself to think he loved me or that this was just his twisted way of protecting me. This time, he went too far. What could Draven have promised him that was worth so much to him? Worth enough that he would rather put his own daughter in danger than protect her? I thought bitterly.He had told me years ago that I should remain mute, spinning the lie tha

Lyra“Elin... save Elin... they locked her up... she hasn't eaten for...” Everywhere went completely blank. Elin. Please be okay.______I opened my eyes slowly, only to find that everything around me was stark, blinding white. The last thing I remembered was Ace bursting into the Grand Hall to rescue me. But where is this? I thought, pushing myself up off the invisible floor.“Ace!” I called out. My voice immediately bounced back to me in a hollow cascade of echoes. “Elin!” I called again, but the exact same thing happened, the echoing sound of my own voice was the only thing that returned to me. I was just about to give up when the sterile white room dissolved into the familiar, swirling haze of my recurring nightmare. This time, however, the mist parted enough for me to clearly see the woman's moving lips and her hair, which was as white as pure snow.“Come, baby. Come to mama,” her lips moved to form the words. I tried to step toward her, but I stopped dead in my tracks whe

LyraThe moment the lock clicked shut from the outside, the fake fear completely vanished from my face. I stood tall and let a triumphant smile spread across my lips, staring into the shadows of my room.“I finally have a mate,” I said happily to the empty space.I threw myself onto the mattress and rolled around the bed for a while, but sleep refused to come. Maybe it's because I'm just too happy, I thought, shaking my head with a soft laugh. What exactly do people do when they finally find their fated mate? I wondered, standing up from the edge of the bed. What should I do? Should I write him a letter? No... I should buy him a proper gift. Yes, that would be much better.I smiled to myself, completely caught up in my spinning thoughts, until a stranger, more curious idea popped into my head. I crept over and quietly cracked open my bedroom door to peer around. When I saw that the hallway was completely empty, I slipped out into the dim corridor.I let out a soft sigh. I really mis

LyraWhen I opened my eyes again, the stone staircase was gone. I was floating within a thick, endless haze of blinding white mist. Hot tears immediately watered my eyes as I looked around the empty void.Am I dead? I asked aloud to no one in particular. Right when I finally got a ma…..“Come, baby... come to mama,” the soft, ethereal voice of the white-haired woman echoed through the haze.My eyes widened in instant realization. I'm back in the dream again.But this time, as I turned my head to look across the clearing at the woman, her face was no longer blurry or covered by the heavy white mist. The details snapped into a terrifying clarity.She looked exactly like... ME.She looked just like me, only older, and her hair was a solid, snow-white color while my own strands were a unique silver-white. What is this? I asked no one in particular. The moment I tried to reach forward to touch her, the white haze abruptly vanished, and I found myself dropping straight into the dark, barr
