Lords Series #1: Lord's Obsession (UNDER MAJOR REVISION)

CHAPTER 30

JUST LIKE MITHRAN’S PROMISE, Valouise is living in peace, away from them, and no one knows her. She's in Spain and it's been 6 months. She's living in one of the towns in Palma di Mallorca, the dream she has always wanted to live. But why does this dream feel so empty, so sad and so long.

To fill in the emptiness of her heart and the missing parts, she spent her time writing. About him. That's her only way to at least forget the reality that he's gone— she wouldn't see him anymore.

“Chapter 9, family reunion.”  She started to type on the empty digital sheet.

All she wrote was real. All that happened to hear— from the first time she saw him in the yacht, their first awful conversations, how she ended up in his place, how they grew close, how she met the other part of the family.

That family reunion of Eisenhower that she got included was one of the most memorable things she experienced. She saw their diverse powers, their unique personalities and she heard some of their stories, like Bylur being the pack's leader— that's why they call him Lord. And he is indeed the most powerful one among them. Which Valouise thought is ironic. Compared to the other men, Bylur's presence is more light, more radiant and he's more kind yet, when it comes to the body’s build, she can't deny that Bylur is at the top.

Valouise let out a loud sigh and smiled bitterly.

“Hindi ko na ulit makikita mukha n'ya.” Mapait nitong sambit sa sarili.

Sanay si Valouise na palaging mag-isa pero nakakapanibago ito para sa kaniya. Minsan dumalaw si Mithran pero para lang siguradohing wala siyang problema o maayos siya, ang minsan na iyon ay pangalawang beses sa lang nangyari sa luob ng anim na buwan.

“It's been 6 months, I should be used to this right now.” Bulomg n'ya sa sarili at pinikit and mga mata. She misses him. She really does but whatever she feels, there's nothing she can do but to push herself away from Bylur. She remembered their last date, it was fun and sweet. That was the last pleasant moment they shared…

And here she is now, missing him.

“A sudden burst of happiness really does have its price.” She heaved a sigh and stood up. She hopped up and down trying to shake away her sleepiness and then went to her table.

She continued to write the story she started a year ago. She stopped after she resided in Bylur's month 9 months ago. She only stayed for 3 months in his house.

“The Story He Tells Through His Blue Eyes”

Chapter 5: The Lord's Past

Valouise started writing— she wrote everything she had been said by Mithran, the truth between Bylur, Colden and her or rather she would say, Galina. She wrote the history of the two men, brothers who fought because of a woman. She finds it absurd but that's what Mithran said.

Colden and Galina were couples and suddenly Galina was about to get married to Bylur.

Valouise, however, didn't accept it fully. She knows there's more to it. More to that story. Bylur might take away the woman his brother's love but who knows the reason. Valouise scoffed at herself, she felt funny for defending Bylur once again but she just couldn't hate him. She doesn't know what's the whole truth behind it.

And now her life has turned upside down because,

“I am the reincarnation of Galina… they said.” And that puts her life in danger, chaos and pain. Funny to say, she hates Galina. Valouise hates Galina.

In the middle of her deep thoughts, she heard someone knocking on the door. She immediately stood up and heave a sigh. It must be Mithran. Well, who would it be? No one knows where he is except the man.

She opened the door to find two familiar men, the one she knows would come but she doesn't want to see and another man she never expected to be her and she doesn't want to see him either.

Valouise took a step back and asked, “Why is he here?”

With a frustrated look on her face, she made sure to make her frustratio be clear through her voice.

“Hindi ba pwedeg pumasok muna kami?” Saad ni Mithran. She lets them in and Valouise’s gaze is still glued to the unexpected man. She was furrowing, fuming mad to see him.

Nang makaupo sila, agad na tinanong ni Valouise ulit ito.

“Bakit siya nandito?” Diin nitong tanong.

“Colden wants to see you and talk.”

“Paano kung ayaw ko?” Taas kilay n'yang sambit.

“Wala kang magagawa dahil nandito na siya.” Sagot naman ni Mithran.

“Tell me, Mithran.” Matiim na tinitigan ni Valouise ito, pinapahalats nya ang kaniyang galit.

“Kaya mo ba ako nilayo kay Bylur dahil gusto mong mapalapit ako kay Colden?” Inis n'yang saad.

Mithran sighed and sadastically smiled.

“As I should, Valouise.”

“Una sa lahat, kayo naman talagang dalawa dapat magkasama. If I can't stop fate, then, I'll change it. Sagot ni Mithran. Alam ni Valouise na man laman ang mga sinasabi nito pero hindi pa rin maatim ni Valouise na intindihin ito.

“Are you siding with Colden?” Valouise hissed at him and took a glance at the other man who was silent, listening to them.

“I'm not siding with anyone, Valouise. I'm trying to save you and my brothers.” Mithran answered. Valouise scoffed and laughed at him sarcastically.

“Are you saying you're doing us a favor?” With that, Mithran was silent. Valouise gritted her teeth in anger.

“I want to hear the whole story, Mithran. Not your shabby, shallow perspective.”

“Very well. I'll leave that to Colden now.” Sagot naman nito at biglang nawala. Parang bula, naglaho lamang ito. If left Valouise and Colden all alone. They were both silent. Valouise doesn't know how to feel around this man. This man who has tried to stain Bylur's reputation on her, threatened her and all.

Finally, Colden broke the silence.

“I'm sorry.” That's all he said. It was sincere, serious.

“I don't want to hear any apology.” Valouise said. Colden nodded in agreement, he knows very well what she wants and he would give it.

He offered his hand to her and all Valouise did was throw a dirty and mad look at him.

Colden deeply sighed and pursed his lips then, “I want to show you the past. Through my memory.”

Valouise was hesitant and looked at him doubly.

“Trust me, please.” He whispered and then offered his hand again. Now, Valouise took it. She held his hand and suddenly she was out of the world she knows.
