Advertisement
Anastasia was busy playing the piano as the plan she made up on her mind flows. She has lots of brutal and disgusting torture planned, and it will come true. It's Mondragon thing. Their plan must happen. It's like they are writing a story and it happens in real life, like a prophecy. And they are the Goddess that control everything.
"How long should I wait?" Ezekiel asked. "The two are nearly in your hands."
"Papa, you need to calm down. It's part of my plan."
"That bastard touched you."
"It's part of the plan." She said. "I want him to know that I am alive. But mostly—I want Janine to go crazy. They are all getting crazy and it's too chaotic. And I love it." She play so softly on the piano as she remembers when she first hold Sabrina followed by her sons after giving birth to them.
For her and Ferdinand it was one of the happiest day in their life. She thought that she would witness her kids, falling in love, suffering from heart breaks, moving forward, getting married and having kids. She have seen few of it but only in photographs. Now, she's doing all of this so everything would come to an end. She wants to be with her husband although he cheated on her.
It was just a mistake and nobody's perfect. She had decided.
***
Alvarez mansion was quite noisy. In the wide gym, Enzo is busy choreographing remix dance with Jason as he gives instructions to them. In the living room are the dogs, Sabrina, Aria and the kids.
"Go upstairs, the triplets and Athena are there."
"Okay." Aria took Camilla with her as the twin's nannies are taking them to the playroom.
Sabrina glanced at her wrist watch and Gabriel found her there after settling the camera in the gym for the boys. They are laughing loud and they could hear from across the hallway. Surely the boys are having fun for their bachelor party. He wasn't any bachelor but a married man, although he's very much welcome to be there, he just want to be with his wife.

Gabriel notices her behavior. He can read her clearly so he sat down and put his arm around her.
"Wanna tell me about it?" He asked.
"You'll know in few minutes."
Gabriel pulled his arm away from her and then puffs some air. His wife is hiding too much from him and she's now getting more and more dangerous. What did she plan ahead? Gabriel reach her kneel and patted it.
"Are you sure you don't want to tell me?"
"I am sure. You'll wait for it love."
Sabrina smirks when one of the guards called her and she told him to welcome them with open arms however, leave other stuffs. They went through the guard's inspections and just in the right time as Ferdinand comes down.
"Brother!"
Ferdinand was surprised at the sudden appearance of his long lost brother but not until the big incident. Ferdinand calmly walk downstairs and look at the calm and quiet Sabrina. Is this what Sabrina want? He was sure that her little Princess can be more calculative and a control freak.
Francisco spread his arms ready to let his brother. Ferdinand stood there few feet away from him and he look at Janice. Now he understand. He glanced at his daughter and to Gabriel. Gabriel stood and look around them.
Janine and Marga with Francisco.
"I am here to visit you, dear brother. And please, meet my family."
"Yeah, your whore that you sent to me just to ruin me and my family. Are you satisfied now, huh, Francisco? You kidnapped my kid and killed my wife." He looked at Janine and Francisco look at her. Janine is wearing a scarf around her neck to hide the mark of Francisco's violence.
"I can't believe this." Marga mutter.

Francisco looked around and his eyes soften to see Anastasia's beautiful painting through Ferdinand's masterpiece. He walked closer to Anastasia's painting and sigh.
"The beautiful Anastasia."
"My wife." Ferdinand said claiming what she was his wife. Francisco would keep dreaming but now, he have a claim.
Catriona was upstairs listening to them. This is what she was waiting for. Enzo came up and was too surprised.
"What's going on?" He asked.
Francisco looked around and sigh.
"I still remember our childhood here, Dear brother. We were so closed together but our parents was too biased. Remember when you brought Ana here for our parents to meet her as your girlfriend? I was the one who met her first. She was my first love and only great love. But you stole her from me."
"She was never yours, Francisco. You were just dreaming." Ferdinand said as he hold himself from punching him.
Anastasia was Ferdinand's high school sweetheart. Francisco met her first and had a huge crush on her. However, Anastasia only treat him as a friend. A great friend but what he did destroy their friendship. Anastasia and Ferdinand loved each other dearly. Ezekiel accepted him however after her mother died, everything became chaotic.
They were in college when Ezekiel pulled them away from each other. Francisco left home and became rebel taking over a dirty business. At that time, he and Anastasia met in a party and Francisco was there. Anastasia was drugged and when he found out that Francisco tried to raped his girlfriend, he took him away and fight for Anastasia.
Ferdinand could still see Anastasia's pain as he took her to the hospital. Until she calm down. It took them time since Ezekiel thought that Anastasia is fine in the boarding school. What he didn't know was that Ferdinand took her to his unit and there they stayed and fought for their love while finishing their studies.
When Ezekiel found out, he drag her away but she was pregnant, although Ezekiel didn't want them to get married at her young age, eighteen, he didn't want to ruin her happiness because Ferdinand already proposed to her before they lived together. Ferdinand was three years older than her and she accelerated to college too early.
Ferdinand's parents were a little disappointed but they knew that Anastasia was from a good family. A Mondragon and they are powerful in this country. Ferdinand's parents gave the mansion under his name and they live there and make a happy life while Ferdinand's parents were enjoying their life in a peaceful place. This house is where he builds his own family and this house is where everything started.
It all started when Ferdinand brought Anastasia to the mansion and introduce her as his girlfriend.
"What?" Enzo stopped and look at Catriona. He knows that Catriona was Francisco's bastard and now Francisco is a big reveal to them. Ferdinand's brother. It means that they are blood related? Cousins? He just married his cousin?
"That's right, Enzo. This is your uncle."

Rebirth Of The Queen

8 244What Was Lost Outside Time
What happens to a mind, subjected to an infinite span of time? What remains, when it is taken out again? This is the story of an individual reborn after such time has passed that nothing remains of what it was; an individual who must learn once again what it is to be, beginning with awareness of the idea of awareness, and growing from there; from awareness of self, to awareness of others, to awareness of society, and on. This is the story of a mind; growing, learning, adapting, and becoming more. -- Currently the first three chapters are - well, kind of experimental. I both like and hate these; they were a pain to write, and I'm told by at least one person that they're painful to get through, but I think something like them is necessary to set one of the basic ideas about the way the story is written. It gets slightly more normal after that, the first arc of the story is rather "battle school", and I think I may need to go back and edit it - the characterization didn't end up working out as well as I had originally hoped, unfortunately, and ended up rather weak to my eye. I may go back and add a sub-plot or two, depending on how well I can handle the intended perspective shift of the second arc. -- Currently on hiatus, in case that wasn't obvious. I'm debating between rewriting large portions of what I've already written, and just finishing out the story, but either way, I don't actually have a clear idea of what I want to do right now. If I'm still feeling the same way in a few months I'll put a chapter up explaining where the story was going, maybe, so the people who have enjoyed it can know where the story was intended to go, and close this out.
8 204On the Edge of Eureka
Currently on hiatus because college is hard. I promise it's not abandoned! Eleutheria, the crown gem of the Solar System, has stood tall for nearly two dozen centuries. Forged in a plague-stricken, war-torn wasteland and tested by fire for hundreds of bloody years, Eleutheria has learned how to survive calamities that would have decimated lesser nations. Its power waxes and wanes, but the empire itself is as steadfast as the Moon; it's an inscrutable, indestructible force of nature no human being could ever hope to stop. But under its glimmering exterior lies a tangled web of secrets and lies, a deadly and decadent court, and corruption that runs from the kings to the kingpins. As its leader loses her grip and opposing forces grow ever stronger, the threat of civil war looms closer and closer to home. The whole country is a chemical reaction waiting to happen, and all it needs is a catalyst. Acidalia Cipher is that catalyst.
