Things settled down quite well a month later as Riella and Cyrus were still trying to find their footing even though they were mates. Luther’s divorce on the other hand had gone amicably well and the polymarriage contract has been annulled. it did cook up a storm among the public for a while but it all ended when Cyrus made his announcement about Gabriella being his mate.Another thing that took place was Grace Edward's burial who was rumored to have died from a heart attack and was buried with a private ceremony.Gabriella didn't bother attending knowing that she didn't want to see them after what they’d done to her.On that same day, she requested for Shannon’s ashes that Koel had gone back to pack up at the scene of their fight. Even if she did that to protect the Reign brothers, Amera was still a family. With that, she cremated it, making peace with herself.And today seems to be like any normal day after their turbulent days. Maya was talking excitedly with Riella while the br
As Cyrus stepped into the mansion, he could hear Andrew telling Luther, Maya, and Koel what happened and he decided to take Riella to her bedroom first before dealing with the issue downstairs.Riella remained pliant as Cyrus didn’t hesitate to pull at her dress the moment he put her on the bed gently. She understood that there was no need to fuss about him helping her with her clothes; considering she was exhausted and besides they had already slept with each other so he had seen everything."Are you going to be fine on your own for now?" He asked her softly as she tried to adjust a fine position on the pillow."I don't know why you’re so intent on doing this. We both know it's either I die or you die or we all die at the end so why prolong this?” Gabriella expressed, with a hint of sadness in her voice."I already lost Clarissa. I told you, I don't want to lose you too. I'm certain we’ll find another way, no matter how long it takes us. Just trust us to help you." He assured, his k
"I don't want to talk about this with you. You know nothing about me so please drop the act. Don't act like the father you never were." Luther said with a clenched fist as he returned his attention to the door but Silas held his hand back."Come back to me, rule by my side” Silas uttered as he stood up from the chair.“Out of my sons, you are the one who suffered the most and made a name out of nothing. You are the kind of person that I need by my side. I mean think about it, don’t think your brothers will have your side when it comes to choosing." He said with a smug grin.Luther bit his lip and let out a frustrated sigh before shrugging his hand from his father’s hold."I think I am capable of making my own decisions and I don't need anything from you right now." He replied sternly.For the moment, Silas allowed him to leave knowing fully well that trying to convince him was going to be like pulling out a tooth.But he wasn't going to give up on Luther. Sure he came for the Rena gir
"Now we can't tell what Luther's game plan is. Although let's be fair we planned to flee without telling him so we can't be mad at him for hesitating." He said as Riella sighed."And you two can't take Silas down or something? Gang up on him? I haven't seen this man no offense but he is already a huge asshole to me." She said as Cyrus chuckled pleased that Riella wasn't having any of his bullshit at all."Don't worry about it. We don't care about him either so no offense taken." Cyrus said as Koel stood up."That's all we know so today we keep an eye out. Sooner or later they will make contact with us. I hope Andrew is safe… Silas seemed to have him on a tight leash.” He said out of concern for the old man.“One that I didn't like to see back then. Maybe we didn't realize it sooner but Andrew was terrified of Silas. Sure we were occupied when Silas was beating the hell out of us but I saw Andrew and he looked like he wanted to die. He was relieving something traumatic but he snapped b
As soon as they got home, Andrew was already on standby to help his master out of the car but when he opened the door, Silas shunned him and stormed inside leaving them on the spot."What happened?" Andrew Asked quietly as Luther wanted to respond when Silas yelled at him to get inside the mansion instantly."I'll tell you later" He promised and Andrew nodded his head then followed him back into the house to play mediator if need be.Silas was pacing around muttering to himself as they got in."You called for me?" Luther said calmly not betraying the expression on his face as Silas stopped pacing around and looked at him."Yes, I did. It's time I moved onto plan B." He said.Luther cocked his head to the side puzzled."I'm afraid I'm unfamiliar with what that means since you refused to tell me anything in the first place." He said.Silas glared at him before saying,"I need you to go and get that Rena girl here. I'm sure you know where they are. Take some troops, a lot of wolves to ov
In the eerie moonlit forest, a woman in a tattered wedding dress raced desperately, the chilling darkness nipping at her skin. Her heart pounded in terror as the gnarled trees loomed over her, their branches coming at her in all directions. Despite her stumbling and tripping over roots and rocks, she pushed herself to keep running, the fear of the unknown shadows propelling her forward toward an uncertain safety. This woman is Gabriella. Unfortunately, a beastly sound reverberated from behind her and she tripped over vines.Her lips trembled as the damp cold seeped into her bones, causing her to shiver uncontrollably. And then the black shadows appeared, looming over her and chanting “For you are a cursed one, the dark ones will come for you!”The chants continued till Gabriella woke up with a terrifying scream.Her chest hyperventilated as beads of sweat trickled down the sides of her face.She bit her lips in anger, squeezing the bedspread as if to rip it into pieces.Then a voice
Olive saw Gabriella first and she grinned as she continued riding on her sister’s boyfriend and mate.“Don’t be mean Olive, hold on” Kyle said between his moan and pushed Olive to the side.“What have I done to you, Olive?” Her lips trembled with salty tears flowing freely “You’re getting married soon so why?”“What nonsense,” Olive said dismissively.“But you claim to love me, Gabriella? Yet you didn’t tell me about your curse. If you’re not as evil as they say you are, why do you want my death like you’ve done to innocent guys who loved you” Kyle confronted aggressively.“No I promise you are different, you’re the only one that can…”“Oh shut up Gabe! Loving you caused those people’s death and I’m not ready to die. I would rather be with your sweet stepsister than accept you as my mate” he lashed out firmly.Gabriella’s legs failed her at the moment and she fell to the ground in pain, clutching her fragile heart.“We need to get out of here before he rejects us! The pain is horrible
Gabriella arrived home in the morning looking so exhausted and chaotic. Her lips were dry and chapped, her skin pale from the heavy rain, and her swollen eyes weren’t an exception to her dead look.She pressed down the doorknob with all of her might and entered the house.She was welcomed by a full house staring back at her with contempt.Gabriella sniffles her tears at the sight of Olive.“Father, you won’t believe what happened last—-“ “What a wretched little sl*t you are!” She was cut short by her stepmother.“What? How could you say that to me?” SLAP—-A resounding slap landed on her face and she fell to the cold floor.Olive’s mocking laugh can be heard in the room.Gabriella was beyond shocked when she saw her father standing proud above her with hate in his eyes. He had just slapped her.“When they said you didn’t come home last night, I didn’t believe it but now you come back this morning with excuses?” Her father yelled at her.“Olive ….” She tried again but Olive was quick
