Diana's gaze was locked onto Eugene, she watched every one of his actions. How he took the baby from Julitta and then raised his sword to hit Julitta away from his side. Diana watched wide-eyed as Julitta's flesh tore open and blood gushed out.Somehow seeing Julitta's blood turn the snow red made her satisfied. That was her payment for betraying her."Diana... She's injured, do something!" Calhoun yelled out. Diana refused to listen. She smirked at Julitta's blood as it flowed out. She was satisfied. She turned to glare at Eugene."Diana! Do something!" Calhoun yelled again. "It's Julitta.""So? What if it's Julitta? She betrayed me, handing my child over to Eugene. Why should I save her? She is the one who trusted Eugene and now you're asking me to save her?"Calhoun was bewildered. "Are you out of your mind?""Why do you care?" Diana yelled back. "Are you in love with her? Tell me, Calhoun. Have you been secretly seeing her behind?"Calhoun moved back, feeling a little guilty. Why
Everyone expected that Diana would be killed but their groan at Eugene was surprising. Calhoun wasn't on the ground anymore, he was behind Eugene with a small dagger. After being stabbed, Eugene turned around and whacked Calhoun but was surprised to see that the man did not move at all.When Diana told them about Coco being his child, the curse was completely broken and all his powers that had been locked were easily restored. The sorcerer who had cursed him had finally lost the rest of his powers and Calhoun was the one who gained them.The powers were potent and they healed him immediately, restoring him to his full glory. His eyes opened at the moment when the blast happened and he saw how Eugene hurried to Diana to kill both her and his son. He quickly went to fight. So Coco was his son and not the son of the soldier? How nice.He immediately stabbed Eugene with one of his poison-filled daggers. He knew the wound would close up instantly and the man would feel as if nothing had ha
Felix and Evander saw the pain in her eyes. She was trying hard to not cry. She watched them crawl around in an attempt to get up and she shook her head."The antidote." Felix groaned. "His pocket."Diana walked around George's dead body. She slipped her hand into his pockets and searched until she found the antidote. When she did, she threw it to Felix. She was too tired to do anything and somehow, she wanted to die. Maybe if she died, she would not need to feel the pain of not seeing Calhoun anymore.Previously she had lived knowing that Calhoun was still alive and she could see him whenever she came to Wisteria. But now, she didn't have any such thoughts again. George had stabbed him in the heart and if the powers he possessed could not save him from the attack, how could it heal him?His skin had turned dark and his eyes were colorless, lifeless. Diana refused to shed any tears. She sat beside his body in the snow. Thrice, his blood had touched the snow. Three times he fought, his
A younger version of Calhoun stood before a huge oak tree that sat in the backyard of the castle. He always went there to calm his mind especially when he was taunted by any of his cousins. They were all living in the castle with him and their grandparents.Marjun had just died and all hands were pointing to him. He didn't know how anyone in his right mind would accuse him of killing his grandfather. Everyone saw how close they were and his cousins were jealous of it. He agreed, his mother always warned him to be mindful of how close he was to his grandfather, knowing that jealousy was the mother of all other sins.He never listened. Just this week, a call came for him to visit his grandfather's chamber and when he got in, he saw that the man had been murdered. The man was murdered in the same way he had explained to him that this was the only way he had to be killed for him to die.Calhoun's fears became real that day. Now all his cousins wanted to take over the throne. But during th
Diana had one thought. Where was George on the night Calhoun's parents were murdered? Where had he gone? And how can a human have murdered Joyce? If she was as ruthless as people claimed, was she not supposed to be as strong too? Or was she all bark and no bite?"Felix, how did Calhoun handle the matter?" Diana asked. Evander was feeling left out already. And that was because his father was not the gamma at that time. Calhoun had chosen him as the gamma after the death of the previous one."Well, he didn't do much. At least not to the knowledge of the people. Even my father, Kris, did not know much about his reaction.""The people just got to figure out that Calhoun had killed every servant in the castle."Diana turned to stare at the throne. "Was this always the meeting changer? I did hear him mention one day that he had changed everything here since his parents' death. That true?""Very true, lady Diana," Evander answered. "It came as a huge shock to everyone. The only thing he coul
"What happened?""He called me by your name." She whispered. "He said, Diana, you taste so good." Diana's brows came up surprisingly. Had Calhoun thought that this girl looked like her? Did he think he was with her when he kissed her? She chuckled."Go on.""I felt bad about it, but I told myself that if I could satisfy his urge when he woke up and saw me, he would know that it was me and not you. And even if he gets pissed, one day he would still come to me for the same thing."Diana was amazed at her thinking. Not in a good way. She saw her as a stupid and naive girl. She probably did not know the man she claimed to love so well. If she knew Calhoun as little as she thought, she would know that Calhoun would never call her again."Continue." She urged on.Patricia sighed. They were already walking down the stairs again. Perhaps she could just stylishly lead her to the chamber she wanted to go to. That way, if she was too busy with whatever, she could make her escape instantly."He
Diana turned around severally while she ran but she could not see anything chasing her. Oh, but she knew she was running away from something or someone. The feeling was so strong and it led her to stumble a few times. Luckily, she never fell. And she never stopped running until she arrived at Calhoun's chamber. Soon as she ran in, she pushed the door and locked it, resting on the door. She turned to check the giant wall clock that hung beautifully in his room. It was almost 1 am. She sighed softly, her heart still hammered in her chest. After calming herself, she burst into tears. Why would things not just get better? Why did they always get worse and worse and always worse? "Pretty girls should not cry." Diana turned quickly to find Calhoun seated in his chair as if nothing had happened to him. She stared at him blankly, not knowing what to do or how to react. This was Calhoun, right? And he was sitting before her, right? She could touch him too, right? "C... Cal... Calhoun!"
Calhoun stared up at the woman that was yelling at him nonstop. He signalled for her to keep shut since the child was asleep. Diana was oblivious to his signs as she kept yelling at him."Shut the fuck up, woman!" Calhoun yelled. Diana went silent instantly. "Can you not see that the child is asleep?"Diana glanced at Coco. She returned her gaze to Calhoun. Her eyes darted around and landed on the clock that was on the wall behind Calhoun. It was almost three am. Why did it seem like time was going too quickly?Calhoun stared at the paper in her hand and he had no expressions. "What is in your hand?""Oh, this? It's just some scrap I found in your drawing room." Diana said, crossing her arms over her chest.Calhoun chuckled. "Drawing room? I don't draw." "Oh of course." Diana rolled her eyes. "You don't draw and all these drawings happened to appear in the room beside your chamber.""That room did not belong to me," Calhoun confessed."But you always stopped people from entering ther
