SAVE ME

“I-I’m sorry”Ms Agatha stuttered to Josephine.

Josephine pushed Ms Agatha to the ground as she slowly approached Laura who shifted backwards in fear”Mother, please forgive me”

“Mother?” Josephine lashed the whip against the ground”How dare you call me that?”

Laura looked at Ms Agatha, who was lying helplessly on the ground for help”Ms Agatha, help me!”

Ms Agatha stood up from the floor as she held Josephine’s feet “If at all you want to punish Laura, punish her for the flyers instead”

Josephine chuckled deeply”Those flyers weren’t done by Laura”

Ms Agatha looked up at Josephine with surprise”What?”

Josephine’s smiled faded “That was her father’s doing”

Laura’s eyes widened”W-What? But you told me father was dead”Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Josephine nodded her head”Yes, I did. He’s dead to me but he still breathes.” Josephine smirked “Why? Do you suddenly want to look for your father?”

“Answer me!”Josephine shouted as she raised up her whip to hit Laura but was halted as Salando walked in.

“Madam, something unusual is happening”

Josephine turned her head to face Salando”Is it worth being disturbed at the moment?”

“I fear so”

Josephine dropped down her hand”What is it?”

“There seems to be fireworks in the sky”

“And what if there’s-“Josephine stopped abruptly”Are you sure?”

“Yes, madam. You can come and see for yourself”

Josephine hurriedly rushed out of the council room to outside the realm where she could see the fireworks.

“Fireworks? That makes no sense. How is this possible?”she muttered to herself.

This could mean a bad omen. She concluded clearly unsettled.

Meanwhile Ms Agatha had helped Laura to her feet and taken her to her room.

Laura stared at herself in the mirror. “So father was alive all these while?”

She took out the small picture of her mother that was hung on the mirror” You made me live without a father for 26years! You took everything away from me!”

She squeezed the picture as she threw it into the nearest bin.

She then took out a small kitchen knife as she cut her slit her hand slightly ” I swear on my blood, I will find father and I will have my revenge on you. ”

Laura walked towards her window as she looked out and saw her mother staring at the fireworks”Your days are numbered, Asuna Josephine Jackson”

First thing tomorrow morning, she would head over to lord Damien and use the favor he still owed her.

Damien and Alexa were no longer her concern.

All she cared about now was bringing the most powerful witch of all to her knees.

The following morning, Gezelle paced about in her chamber clearly unsettled.

Damien hadn’t returned back to the realm last night.

Was he with that”sl*t?”.

She thought she had caused a massive blow with her “flyers trick” but Ava land seemed to have quiet down within a day.

“Everything is so annoying!” Gezelle shouted as suddenly her door was opened and Laura walked in .

“You are the one who had those flyers made, weren’t you?”Laura asked going straight to the point.

Gezelle scoffed”Just because we joined hands once doesn’t mean you can enter my chambers without knocking. I AM the future queen of Ava land”

“And what if I had a hand in the flyer? Who are you to question me?” Gezelle said through gritted teeths.

Laura raised up her hand “One, you seem to forget that your engagement is over and two, I’m not here to question you on your action.”

“I hate Alexa as much as you do but I’m here for a different purpose entirely. Tell me, who made that flyer for you?”

“And why should I answer you?”

“Because I think he’s my father and I really need to meet him. I’d lived all my life without my father and -”

Gezelle raised up her index finger silencing Laura “Stop. I don’t like sad stories. Anyways, i think it’s impossible to meet him”

“And why is that?”

“Because the man you speak off was banned from this land”

“What? but why?”

“From the little information i’ve gathered from here and there, He killed his wife”

Laura felt her heart drop as her eyes widened.”Liar”

“What?”

“How could he have killed his wife when my mother is still alive and well!!?”

Gezelle was taken aback by her sudden outburst “Why are you shouting at me? I just told you what I know”

“Lies! You are a liar!”

Gezelle smacked Laura across the face “I, Rosetta Gezelle Pria am the worst of all kinds of demons. I’m greedy, I’m possessive, name them all but I am not a liar”

“Now get out if your questions have been answered”

Laura walked out of Gezelle’s chambers.

She would find her father on her own and she would ask him for tbe truth.

She was a fool to have gone to Gezelle.

As soon she stepped out of the demon realm, she saw Damien walking in.

On seeing her, Damien’s mood immediately turned sour “I thought I told you not to show yourself to-”

Surprisingly, Laura threw herself at his feet with fake tears welling up in her eyes “Please grant me my favour now, my lord. I ask for nothing more. I’m just a lost child at this moment who is desperately seeking her father”

Damien was in a haste to severe any ties he had with this witch so he’d asked “And how will I do this favour of yours? Do you have any belongings of the father you seek?”

“Yes, the flyers. I just got Intel that lady Gezelle had asked him to create the flyers”

Gezelle who had been informed of Damien’s arrival had happily ran out of her chambers and headed out of the realm but she’d stopped in her tracks when she’d  heard the words that had spewed out of Laura’s mouth.

Damien balled his fist”Gezelle did what!?”

He looked up as he saw her standing a stone throw away from him with rage burning inside him.

Laura smiled inwardly as she thought; This is what you get for lying to me, Gezelle.
