Chapter 87POV: King Hades Pierce“I have something to tell you.” Raven seriously stated as he entered the Throne Room.He had this unreadable expression painted on his face.Hades just finished talking to Arlan and Shimuel about Dillion’s grave. No matter how he had committed this unlawful act, he couldn’t deny the fact that he still wanted his corpse to be buried near the palace.“About what?” He matched his seriousness with his – he even raised his left brow in response.Raven heaved a deep sigh.“I talked to Dillion before he died.” He languidly started while Hades remained silent – waiting for him to continue his words.“He told me his reasons for doing everything he did. He said that his family is indebted to Lamina’s father, and he couldn’t do anything but follow the last promise he had sworn to his father.” Raven added.Hades leaned against his throne as he tried to remain expressionless.“Well, I don’t see any significance to it all. We all know why the Darkwoods did this tre
Chapter 88POV: King Hades Pierce“Are they all done with the preparations?” He darkly asked his younger brother as he entered the meeting room.Arlan and Shimuel followed him into the room. All of their gazes were directed towards Prince Raven – who was grinning like a madman with his chess board in front of him.“They are already in place. Don’t worry, as what Tamika said, we will just need to do something in that specific thing.” Raven seriously stated as he moved the white queen piece on the board towards where the black king piece was.“Great. Then, we are good to go.” King Hades smirked wickedly as he stood up and nodded at everyone.Prince Raven viciously smiled.“Checkmate.” He sinisterly whispered before he stood up and followed him.Arlan and Shimuel silently followed behind them – with their dark auras like his and Raven’s.“Uhm, one more thing, Your Majesty.” Arlan politely called him – with firmness and seriousness were dripping from his voice.“The Mindsor Clan had alrea
Chapter 89POV: Queen Tamara VikeshShe felt weak all of a sudden – like the stress and exhaustion doubled upon hearing those words from Tamika. But before she could even react, Tamika suddenly fainted as she and Shanaia instantly went to her side.Tamara called one of the sentinel wolves outside the Throne Room when Kage suddenly went inside and carried Tamika into their room.Until now, she hadn’t been on speaking terms with Kage – after everything that happened.She knew that sooner or later she would have to rekindle things with him.“What happened to her?” Kage seriously asked.He looked strangely concerned while looking at Tamika, but she just shrugged it all off.“She suddenly fainted.” She worriedly replied.Kage checked her pulse and heaved a deep sigh.“She must be too exhausted. I recently discovered that she hadn’t been sleeping for three straight days now.” Kage clenched his jaw as he stared at Tamika.They could feel his arising annoyance towards the woman sleeping sound
Chapter 90POV: Queen Tamara PierceShe was standing in front of the massive window glass, where the nearly full moon shone brightly in the dark night sky, when a warm hug from behind her encased her inside.Tamara couldn’t help but smile as she smelled her husband’s familiar scent. She leaned against his chest as they both watched the moon’s lustrous magnificence.Her hair was slowly dancing with the cold wind from the open window.“You should be closing the window now. It is not safe.” Hades seriously reminded her as she heard the bathroom door close.But she didn’t move even a bit. She wanted to feel the cold breeze and close the wide window afterwards. She just missed this kind of atmosphere. She wanted to breath a bit.She heard Hades heave a breathy sigh because of her stubbornness as he slowly walked towards her.“Why aren’t you asleep yet?” Hades sensually whispered as he leaned down and placed his chin on her shoulder – pulling her a bit closer to her.“I am waiting for you.”
Chapter 91POV: Leah Darkwood“P-Please spare me and my b-baby, Leah. I… I beg you…” Tamara weakly pleaded, but her heart had already hardened by everything that had happened and nothing could ever make it softer again.She had already crossed the bridge where she couldn’t go back anymore. She had decided to do what she wanted, and she had to be firm in her decision.And that choice was to kill Tamara – and nothing else matters now.She could feel the bitterness dripping into her own inner self as she stared at the woman – who had taken everything from her.The woman who had always got everything that she wanted – being protected without her knowing, being loved without any inhibition and without anything in return.Leah instantly wiped away the tears that escaped from her own eyes – as she tried to stifle her intensifying and sensitive emotions.She smirked at her as she slightly shook her head – trying to make her mind set on her real plan, her real motive.There’s no turning back.
Chapter 92POV: Leah DarkwoodHer face turned paperwhite the moment she saw who had just called her name. She had never seen him as furious as this.She felt the hair at the back of her neck stand up as she stood still.“W-What are you doing here?! Stop!” She stammered as she tried to stop Aeron from walking towards her.“Stop doing such a stupid thing, Leah!” Aeron angrily snapped at her.Her mouth went agape as she watched Aeron take the knife from her hands and throw it away. She watched him as he panicked, watching Tamara’s condition in front of him. Her blood instantly boiled.“What the f*ck are you doing?!” She equaled the same ferocity that her younger brother had, but he seemed like he was more engrossed in how to free Tamara from the silver chains – regardless of whether he got burned from it.Leah furiously pulled his arm as she stopped him from untying the chain.“What the hell, Aeron?!” She angrily spat as an absurd idea had crossed her mind.No.She wouldn’t accept that f
Chapter 93POV: Lamina DarkwoodA loud crashing sound of a broken wine glass resonated in the entire room.Her heart began to beat so wild inside her chest that she knew something bad had happened. She weakly sat down as she felt her hands trembling unconsciously.Lamina swallowed hard as she heard Merelos enter her office. Her forehead creased as she saw his expression – pained, agonizing, and melancholic. It was like something bad really happened, but she needed to pull herself together.“M-Milady …” Merelos called her in his shaking and gruff voice.Her eyes squinted at him as she tried to contain her trembling hands.“What do you want?” She seriously inquired.“M-Milady …”But Merelos just called her once again.Her face hardened and her aura darkened.“What the f*ck do you need?!” She angrily snapped at him.But Merelos just flinched, but his expression remained.Then, she felt her world crumble down as Merelos finally found the courage to tell her the news. Her ears seemed to fe
Chapter 94POV: King Hades PierceTamara had just woken up, but she was shouting in pain. She was clutching her stomach as if it was throbbing so badly inside her that it was tormenting her inside. He felt like he was in complete torture because of Tamara’s condition.He stared at Elder Zeparu with a questioning look.“What is happening to her?” He voiced his frustrations out loud.Elder Zeparu’s expressionless face was making him more agitated. He was hoping that it wasn’t as bad as it seemed to be. But looking at Elder Zeparu right now – he already had a hunch as to his possible reply. He firmly closed his eyes as it turned pitch black because of frustration and hopelessness.He clenched his jaw as he opened his eyes.“She is s-suffering right now, Your Majesty. A-And you must prepare for the w-worst.” Elder Zeparu solemnly answered.His blood suddenly boiled with pure denial but fear slowly consumed him.‘No! Not Tamara and their baby!’He was pleading in his head. But his expressi
