Chapter 53: Chapter 53

After spending about a day out of the palace Edmonton is finally back. He rushes into his office. He grabs a piece of paper, ink, a feather from his table and he starts writing. A smile appears on his face as he drops every single word.

After writing, he folds the paper and seal the ends with a sort of red candle wax then he moves out of his office.

"Give this letter to the princess Lilith, make sure you give it to her yourself and no one should see you." he hands it over to his most faithful servant Max and Max leaves immediately.

"Finally I see you." Maryline comes out from nowhere and she moves closer to him. "Where have you been all this while." she asks.

"All this while? I barely left this palace for two days. Anyway, Rocky is back I was with him the whole of yesterday."

"I heard that. What sad news for the young girls of this village. Despite his nasty behaviour, King Edward kept him in his army now that he is not more I think it's time we get rid of Rocky. He shouldn't be the head of our army anymore." she declares.

"Unfortunately we can't he's a great asset. Is there anything else you want to tell me before I retire to my office?" He says carelessly and Maryline fixes him with a deathly stare.

And he gives a fuck "I conclude there is nothing else, you want to tell me. See you later during lunch." he turns to leave.

"There is something I have to tell." she swallows her pride and says. "Ok, go on." he turns back and facing her keenly.

"Eve has been complaining that the people of the army don't recognise her so she thought of a ceremony that will group them all so that we can make proper presentation. She can't be rolling a kingdom where no one knows her."

"Faire enough and I think you should organise that. You will make it low key in a form of small ceremony. Keep in mind that all this is informal no stupid declaration. You only present the Queen who is the soon to be wife of Alpha Adams... Eve isn't ruling this kingdom but Adams will." he ends his explanation.

"You either..." she murmurs "I have a question if you don't mind." then she says. "I do mind, but don't bother yourself and go on," he says sarcastically.

"Why did you organise all this arrangement with Adams and his father without consulting Eve. Why must Eve only Marry Adams? I just can't figure it out. Why impose all this on this little girl?. The last time I checked Late king Edward hated king Demons."

"I don't see any need to explain myself to you. I keep telling you this, mind your business, woman." he orders.

"Trust me I do just that because everything that concerns Eve is my business. And whatever you are planning I will discover it myself." she says. "I just pray it shouldn't be too late when I succeed" she murmurs deep within her.

"Good, you are free to do whatever you want with your free time." he gets sarcastic. "Trust me I will make good use of it." she too gets bitter.

He turns to leave but he turns back to Maryline again "Organise everything for tomorrow. I want to be present when the Queen presents herself to the army."

"Tomorrow is too sudden I won't have enough time to prepare effectively. I think a week will be enough" she rules as if her opinion matters.

"Rather standing her complaining as usual you should run to the Kitchen and start getting stuff ready or you only have free time to be questioning me." with this said he leaves.

"Nonsense!." she exclaims as she watches him walking away. "Tomorrow Maryline," I shout as he walks away and this sucks.

• • Eve's POV • •

Matilda begins to panic then she whispers into my ears. "Eve, I'm not feeling right about this place. It's so beautiful to be real. What if she's a witch?. I think we should get out of here"

"Witches, Vampires are myths or rather in extinction so trust me she can't be one." I say with so much confidence as if I can prove it. "Don't be too sure maybe she has been hiding." she keeps panicking.

"I can hear you, young girl." the lady smiles as she comes with a jar to serve them "this is juice from fresh-pressed oranges. I did it myself this morning, I hope you like it." She pours in their cups.

Matilda is sceptical to drink while I doesn't bother much about the juice, rather I'm fascinated by the woman's beauty. She glows differently.

"It's not poisoned, Matilda." the woman takes a sip from Matilda's cup then she hands it over to her hoping to solace. Instead, Matilda got dumbfounded as she gets seriously worried at the mention of her name.

I later take a few sips of the drink and it's really delicious. Unfortunately, matilda seizes the cup off my hand "Are you crazy? What going over you?" she whispers. I don't understand why she's overreacting I believe that good people still exist.

"You both should follow me." the woman says as she gets up from where she's seated.

I get up to follow the woman as if I'm hypnotised but Matilda hastily clences my arm halting me from going further "Eve, it's a bad idea This woman just called my name but I did tell her my name. I think she's up to something." she tries to call for my attention in vain.

"You worry too much like an old woman. Maybe she heard when I called you." the woman opens a door and heavy white light shines out from the door.

I move ahead first and I disappear into the light rays. Matilda hesitate then she runs to the opposite door aiming to run out through where we entered. Unfortunately, the the door is lock "Help, someone helps me" she screams seeking help from the guards standing outside.

The woman gets annoyed and she furiously moves to her "You were right I'm a witch and it's sad for you because no one can hear you." she laughs cruelly "Come with me, stupid girl." she snatches Matilda pulling her in the shining door.

As I pass the door a strong force projects me. I heavily fall on a very soft bed in an empty room where all the walls are painted in pure white. It's weird but beautiful.

The same force projects Matilda but she lands with aloud, scream. "Where the hell are we?" she asks as soon as she lands in the weird room and it clearly has nothing beautiful according to her.

"We are in another dimension." she woman grins maliciously.

After standing at the door for a very long time the guards who accompanied Eve decide to break the door and enter the house to take her back to the place as it's getting late.

"No one is in." the first to enter announces "there were here, these are two cups. Shit!. You go to the left and you follow me. We have to find the Queen before returning to the palace." they rush out searching for Eve.

• • Adams's PoV • •

I take my car and I drive to the hospital to check on the young girl it's been five days now. I reach the hospital and the young girl is seating up in bed. I get in and she's alone in her.

"You came back!" she looks eager to see me and I'm shocked anyway I remain normal. "Why are you alone." I move closer to her.

"My parents have gone to work but they will be back soon. I'm better though and the doctor said I might leave by the weekend." she says gaily and I'm delighted.

"Great! I'm happy to hear this. I have something for you." I hand over a little parcel to her. She drops a chain on the side table of her sickbed than she grabs the parcel eagerly. Immediately she opens it.

"Wow, the last smartphone. I've always wanted one but my parents keep saying it's too expensive for nothing. Thank you very much." she screams with joy.

"I'm happy you like it." I barely smile. "I Love it you mean?!" she rectifies. "What is that you dropped on the table?" I get curious. She was holding it with so much affection.

"It's a chain, my mother gave to me. I mean biological mother when she abandoned me." she gets sad though briefly "Anyway, It was given to me by my present mum on my 16th birthday day. I always keep it close to me. Hopefully, I will one day get to know more about my biological parents one day." she explains and she's courageous.

"I'm so sorry about this. Can I have a look at it?" I ask. "Of course" she hands it over to him.

"Nice chain, this kind of silver is rare now our days... Royalty silver." I murmur my last two words. "I will fix it for you, that is if you don't mind."

"Of course not. I will be very happy instead." she nods. "Great! I have to leave now. Have a nice day. Take care of yourself." with this said I leave immediately.

I receive a phone call from my secretary.

"Sir, the transition papers are ready and they are waiting for you to sign them." she says. I off the call and I drive back to the office.

All the shareholders have assembled. A set of betrayal and I've lost my company to them. A company have been presiding for more than a hundred years now.

I elegantly enter the hall very sure of myself as usual and I take a seat in their most and this makes them sick. I would have killed every single person seated at this table but it's useless. But if I kill them who will take care of this company in my absence?...

For now, I have to go back and concentrate solely on my wedding. While they get old and all die I will later have my company back.

"I have thought over this carefully and for now I will hand over the direction of my company to one of you." I start my goodbye speech.

"Of our company you mean to say?. We are also shareholders like you so we own parts of this company like you so grant us some respect." they dare interrupt me with their excessive reaction over nothing yet I remain calm.

"Whatever! Like I was saying before the devil interrupted. I have a lot of things calling for my attention now so I will hand over. However, I'm not selling my shares. You all can keep your fucken offers to yourself. I think I'm done you can continue the meeting without me my Secretary will transfer the means of this meeting to me or rather to my office table very early tomorrow morning." with this said I move out and my secretary follows me.

"I will be leaving town so make sure you transfer everything to my email and take care of everything call me only when it's necessary." I add as we move out.

"That is if the line you give me passes through sir. I always call you but it never goes through and it seriously gets hard to reach you." she grumbles.

"I will see what I can do about that. Now go back in there and replace me. And henceforth you take decision in my absence." with this said I leave while she goes back to the meeting.
