71. My Missing Piece

DAPHNE I opened my eyes, the sunlight, a bright shade of gold highlighting my skin which was covered bluish and reddish spots. Something warm climbs up my face as I fall back on the mattress, covering my face with the duvet. A smile grazed my lips as I kicked my feet in the air, butterflies filling my stomach. Turning, I noticed that Alex wasn't with me. Although something slipped into my chest, I didn't let it settle as I slowly climbed down the bed, my knees struggling to keep my body steady. Events of last night flashed in my mind, the sex, the euphoria, him calling my name... My lower lip rolled into my mouth. I'd never noticed how hot my name sounded from his mouth. That deep baritone voice, his Adam apple that bobbed whenever he looked at me..."No, No, No, Get your shit together Daphne!" As I continued walking in the direction of the bathroom, something firm wrapped around my legs and shoulders, swinging me off the ground, my heart jumped but it calmed when I saw

72. Arrow's Games

DAPHNE Alex left with Caspian as they went to find out where Eleanor went. Ronwan had been missing since that day but Eleanor? She was right beneath our nose and yet still got away. I didn't let the thought linger as I stepped out of the car. I'd left the issue for Alex and Caspian to handle and now I was standing in front of my father's company for the first time since he died. Ever since that day I'd sworn to never come here due to the memories it brought but I had to come here, especially if I wanted answers. Uncle wasn't aware of my visit. For some reason, Alex advised to be cautious of him and with the way Uncle had been acting recently, I agreed with Alex. Besides it's not like he had anything to do with father's death. He adored them. Especially mother, he was very close to her but not once was she uncomfortable with it so I assumed it was okay. Pushing away the thought, I walked to the entrance, lined with guards. Their eyes turned to me and they pressed

73. Quite Smart, Princess

DAPHNE " Is everything okay? You look so pale?" She asked cutting through my thoughts, I blinked, flustered but suddenly unable to speak. Arrow was involved in murdering someone. An innocent person who just happened to be related to my father's death. This made me wonder how far he would go to harm me— or Alex. Another chill snaked down my spine. Sweat gathered in my palms, the air grew a degree colder as I was suddenly unable to breathe. " I'll get you a glass of water—" she offered , standing up but I gripped her wrists, stopping her. " Come with me." I knew I was crazy making this offer even without telling Alex first but this woman wasn't safe here and knowing Arrow he probably knew I was here and was waiting for me to leave before he came and ended this woman's life too. Her brows lifted as she slid her hand away. " What do you mean?" I stood, gathering the courage. " Come with me, bring your daughter as well. It's not safe here, please don't let those m

74. The Initiation

Note: This chapter contains mentions of non consensual sexual intercourse, please read with caution.ELEANOR We'd been running for hours. My calves ached, my heart banging against my ribs, my knees trembled as I struggled to catch up with father— who didn't seem to care if I died or lived— my throat was dry, so dry I could barely breathe but I kept running. " Where are we going?" I asked father but he didn't answer, he just kept running. I stopped, releasing a heavy breath then I continued running until we got deep into the forest. Right there, beneath a cave we found an underground warehouse or building of some sorts. I didn't know why we were here or why father saved me but I knew it had to be related to Daphne or Alex, father was so obsessed with them— too much for his own good. As we reached the middle of the warehouse, father stopped, going to his knees, his head crashed against the floor. When I didn't do the same, he kicked my ankle, making my knee crash agains

75. I Think We Should Breakup

CASPIAN I'd just arrived home, from going to pick up the lady Alex asked me to get. The woman was silent throughout the drive and after what she'd been through, it was understandable. I could relate to it, much deeper than I should've. I helped her out of the car, she muttered a thank you as she tried to carry her bags but couldn't. I walked to her, taking the bag from her. " You don't have to worry about your house. I'll make sure it's well taken care of, okay?" I assured although I knew it didn't do much but it was my way of consoling her. She smiled shortly, and took the bag from me, dragging it along as she walked into the house. Eliot and Daphne was on their way, so Daphne would probably hang out with her or maybe Mum would entertain her that's if she wasn't all over Jerald all the time. I shoved my hand into my pocket and walked back into my car. My phone rang with a call. I answered it immediately, it was from Xena. " I've found some car tires along the east coast whic

76. Even In Death

ALEXANDER Daphne had just got back home and I badly wanted to meet her but right now I had something to handle. My fingers braced the table, my eyes hardened as I scoped the entirety of the room, which was filled with the court members. I remained silent, they needed it, because people broke under silence due to the fear of things I could do to them. On the left Ronwan's friend sat, his fingers twitching, sweat coating his skin. I cleared my throat, cutting through the silence. " As we're all aware our Avtoritet has been missing for the past few days and I want to make sure none of you knows about his whereabouts." They all answered no, some where steady with their words whilst a few others— four specifically— were so confident and that alone gave me the indication that I needed. " Good. Meeting dismissed," I said, my lips lifting. The tension dissolved to dust as they all scrambled out of their seats. Just as they were about to cross the door, I spoke. " Elder D

77. I'm Tired Of Being Understanding.

CASPIAN My eyes felt heavy as I struggled to open them, my body felt weak as though something thick pressed against me stealing the little strength I had left. After a few minutes, I opened my eyes, the bright light from above burned into my retinas making me shut my eyes back. As though sensing my movements, a middle aged woman jumped from her seat, the worry in her eyes dissolved shifting to a comforting smile. " You're awake! How do you feel?" " I feel, fine," I released a weak groan, " who are you?" I didn't mean to be rude, I just wanted to know who she was. I was from a mafia clan, no one could be trusted. " I'm Kamala." She introduced, " I and my husband went hunting for dinner when we came across a body submerged in dirt, we immediately pulled you out and called for an ambulance," Finally, my tense muscles relaxed. " Thank you, I really appreciate it," I said as I tried to adjust on the mattress, she aided me, fluffing my pillow. " You don't have to do al

78. Just A Fling

CASPIAN She said those words and walked away, her shoulders brushing against mine softly but I could see it, from the corner of her eyes, a tear— barely there— but I could see it clearly. As she tried to walk through the gates I circled her wrist, tugging her towards me. Her amber eyes met mine and just like aways, it stole my breath. She tried to release her grasp but my hold only tightened. " Is this how you want to end things? You want to end it this way? Look me in the fucking eye and tell me that you want me to leave and I swear I will walk away and I'll never contact you again." She remained silent, but she was struggling to free herself anymore, her eyes planted to the ground. I tilted her chin, making her meet my gaze. " Say it Kira!" It wasn't an order, it was a plead, a desperate plead for her to let me stay. " Don't make me do this..." " You can't even say it Kira! You can't even say those words!" I cried but she snapped her wrist away from me. Mee

79. He Pulled The Trigger

CASPIAN Daphne suggested we go to a amusement park. At first I didn't understand why, I still don't but hey. Maybe she's always wanted to come here. There are guards littered around the park although Daphne couldn't see them I could, they were just a few inches away from us. Watching our every move. " Now are you going to tell me what happened?" Daphne spoke, making me peel my eyes away from the guards. " Hmm?" She scoffed. " I know something wrong happened to you, Alex noticed it too but was proud to ask." " You promised we weren't going to talk about him..." I said and she waved her hands in surrender. " Okay, Okay, fine, my lips are sealed." She gestures by zipping her lips. " No more Alex," I smiled, as we walked to one of the snack shops, I ordered some corn dogs for her and a popcorn for me. " So...Come on, tell me what happened," she pushed as we settled on a bench nearby. " You know a problem shared is half solved, I may be able to help." " I

80. I Saw Tears In His Eyes

DAPHNE Cold.It felt so cold.My eyes screwed shut as I braced for the impact but no bullet came, what I felt was this crushing weight of someone's body— it was then I realised that Caspian had been shot.He took the bullet for me...He—No.I opened my eyes, curling my arms around his frame as my legs gave way, my body and his crumbling to the ground, my hold didn't falter as I tapped on his cheek, his face pale— almost white, as he gripped his chest." You're okay, you're okay...Don't, Don't close your eyes." I cried as I braced his palm. An attempt to stop the bleeding but to wasn't working...why wasn't working??He coughed, a smile on his pale lips as his life slipped from his grasp and there was nothing I could do. " I'm fine, just a minimal injury..."" Minimal?" I was appalled. " You got shot!! You're bleeding!"" I'm fine, we need to get out of here now," " We need to get you to a hospital!" Footsteps echoed behind us, immediately, he rose to his feet, staggering slightly as
