Jasper Vale Novels & Stories

CHAPTER SIX Wednesday, 24 March, 1869 The closed cart rattled its way through a set of heavy iron gates. Ellen peered out of the small side window. Her insides quivered as she took in the leafy trees and a sliver of clear blue sky. She whispered its name: Belle Vue. An exotic sound so full of promise. Then came the first view. She gasped at its beauty, like a magical palace. It was so large, she couldn’t see where the two wings of the mansion ended.

“You’re very...extravagant, my King. Especially when looking for an established house with all your...specifics. Don’t get me wrong, your ideas are lovely but finding a house in Oakvale fitting your list may be near to impossible without building a house from scratch.” I nod in understanding. “I see.” Well, I may have to knock some items off the list then. I didn’t have time to build a home, at least, not yet. “Mr. Morningstar, I take it this house wasn’t to your liking either?” Kathy Moore, the real estate agent asks as she and Zelda came to stand beside me and Beatrice. “I’m afraid not, Ms. Moore.” The brunette giggles. “Oh please, call me Kathy.”

Now, with my child gone, the last trace of my feelings for Renato had vanished completely. My family controlled the lifeline of arms supply across all of Sheily Island. If my father truly lost his temper, the Valentino family would be utterly destroyed. "Send the order," my father said into the encrypted communicator, his voice cold. "Cut off all supply lines to the Valentino family's docks. Seize the shipment coming in from Eastaropan." A crisp reply came from the other end. "Yes, Don!" Facing retaliation, Renato struck back quickly. He led his men in three assaults on the docks—but each time, they were driven back by my family's overwhelming firepower.

Edward, that fucker had known, he’d known that this idiot was right outside, that’s why he let me go. We arrived at…… I frowned, was this what they referred to as a villa or………an estate? Whatever it was, it was large, very much so if I have anything to say about it. We drove through several miles of forest after entering the gate, before finally breaking out into ……well….this. It had a house? Houses? The layout of the place was incredible. It was a castle. Even the air here felt different, serene and so at odds with the male sitting beside me gripping the wheel so tight, I could swear he had the ability to rip it off.

The Glambour forest, also known as the Devil's vale was situated in the western part of Patasia continent with mysterious supernatural secrets. lt was the earlier meeting place of different nations but now everyone was scared to cross that place due to it's dark secrets. History saying that hosts, sightings of the reaper, wolf packs gathering, vampire hideaways–all present in this forest at one time. Popular rumour about the forest was the paranormal activities of the non human creatures of there. Once approximately in early twentieth century, a pregnant lady and her husband were trapped in this mysterious forest because of the broke off of their black classic british sports car.

' Jasper only smiled reassuringly and patted her hand, "Don't worry, kiddo. I'll be fine. Just stay in the car and keep warm. I'll be back with the mechanic soon." Jasper turned around and headed off into the dark mouth of the night; his boots crunched in the snow as he walked. Valarie watched him disappear, feeling a cold clench in her stomach as darkness washed over him. She shuddered and wrapped her arms around herself, anxiously waiting for Jasper's return. *******

I ran my hand along the smooth leather seats, imagining myself sitting there and the camera fixed on my face. I turned to see Jasper watching me with a slight smile on his face. "You seem to be enjoying yourself," he remarks. "I can tell this is really going to be your moment to shine." "I hope so," I replied, "And I appreciate you taking the time to show me around. I know it can't be easy working with me and leaving your girlfriend behind.” “ Girlfriend?” Jasper questioned. “ Yeah, Valerie Moore,” I replied. Jasper chuckled, “ she isn't my Girlfriend, just a business partner “ he replied.

The twentieth was Elara, and of course Elara did not answer, and of course no one had expected her to, and of course the sound we made when we said her name was different: the sound of a room that will not let its dead be stolen. When we were done, Vivian breathed once and nodded once, the way you do when the numbers are worse than you wanted but blessedly not as bad as you had imagined in the hour when fire makes imagination its toy. Jasper rose. He had soot in the corner of his eye like kohl. He looked like he’d been carved from a burnt beam and sanded into a man. He didn’t look at me. He didn’t have to. “Jasper,” Vivian said, and in that one name she put two decades of decisions. “You wil

Before that happened, however, she had something incredibly important to do. “Javier, I have to leave for a bit to check out Xerxes Village.” Jade had once mentioned during her chats with Javier that she had been supporting an impoverished village all these years.
