Alexander’s POV:The sharp grunting sound from the other side of the wall made everyone gasp in shock, even Chad too, the one who almost thought that Emily and Mary were crazy for bringing us here.He turned to stare at me; his eyes held tons of questions as he looked up at me, but I nodded and looked away.I couldn’t help but watch Emily closely and how she was seemingly transforming right in front of all of us.Her eyes had taken on a different look and now had some desperation which I had never seen in them before. In a way, she almost looked like she was about to cry too which made my heart lurch in my chest, but before I could do anything or say anything to her, Mary pushed through the crowd to stand beside her by the wall.I could hear Mary whisper some words to her, but at the same time, I couldn’t really hear what she said. I was curious, though, because from where I stood watching them, it sounded like she was giving her some words of encouragement or some mantra; I wasn’t s

**Emily’s POV**The news of my father regaining consciousness was the only thing that gladdened my heart; it made my heart pump faster than usual."Father!" I yelled. I couldn't hide it. The man who I thought was dead for months was alive, staring at me, his daughter who had just saved his life."Emily, you should have abandoned me to die. What more can I do in the world? I'm an Old man who has lost tons of blood, and now I want to be fed the same blood; don't worry about me. I'll be fine." What does that mean?!Of course, his words were understandable, but I couldn't believe he'd say such.Shit, the worst was he meant it! He didn't look like he was bluffing.I narrowed my eyes at him and clenched my hands. It was absurd to leave my father in this condition even as he wanted me to do so."Doctor, please, can a blood transfusion be carried from me to my father?" I inquired as I was not conversant with medical terms."Of course. Is that the only thing you’d want to know?" The Doctor as

Emily’s POV I hugged my father, feeling safe in his arms; Rosie coughed, running her hands on her head. I guess the pain persisted. I quickly raised the sheets over my father, who lay down like a lifeless body. "Now you're in deep trouble, You made this mark on my head, and I'll show this mark to my father. You know my father hates seeing his precious jewel in pain. ""What's our business with your father? Gone are the old times when everyone was afraid of your father due to his vast infiltrated influence. I'm not scared of that," Alexander retorted, walking into the room."You'll come begging on your knees just the way I did earlier. This I promise you," Rosie uttered fiercely, staring directly at me. I couldn't help but fix my eyes elsewhere. She hissed and banged the door."We'll see about that," Alexander retorted."She's not joking, the look on her face shows the level of seriousness, and I must say it is quite frightening," Chad said as he lay on the bed. Mary walked into th

Emily's POV My heart raced as thoughts flooded my head, all due to Mary's words."What's the terrible news?" I asked hastily, nervous that I could hear my heart pounding. "Uhhhhh… It's a bit hard to say," Mary's words sent cold shivers down my spine, making matters worse. "What do you mean?" I retorted, still wondering what she couldn't just say. "I don't know what to say, just go and see for yourself," Mary said as she walked to Chad's bed. I ran as fast as I could, and when I walked through the hallway, Mary was walking behind me.Alexander?!My eyes widened as I saw him.How come he was not hurt?I ran into his open arms and embraced him as tight as possible as if he'd disappear if I didn't.“Maybe Mary was just pulling my legs," I muttered."What's the matter?" I asked, staring at the puzzled look on Alexander's face.Then, he pulled me to a corner."What's going on?" I mumbled as he glanced around."I don't have much to say to you, but there's something I would like to tell

Emily's POVMy eyelids opened, and a black leather bag hindered my vision. I tried to move my body and arms, then realised I had ropes tied firmly on my hands and legs.Also, I could barely breathe in the insane position I was put in.I tried hitting my legs around, trying to attract the attention of anyone, probably hoping for the sentinels to notice or anyone in the vicinity."You better stop that trick of yours, it's not working, and it can't work," A voice echoed.I knew whose it was, and I was not too fond of it. I wouldn't say I liked these restrictions; placing me in the trunk of a car made me feel like I was an object. It ridiculed me. "Get me out of here!" I screamed at the top of my voice. I knew that someone standing a few meters away would hear my voice.The car halted suddenly; I jerked forward, hitting my hips on a sharp edge. I let out a groan while I bit my lower lip.I sensed the trunk open, and a hand gripped me roughly, yanking me out."Coward!" I spat. I smiled b
