Love in the Shadows || Vsoo

|4|

As Jisoo held Adrian close, she realized the significance of the purple full moon, which only occurred once every three years. 

This rare celestial event held immense power, affecting all living creatures in that otherworldly realm. 

On this night, the beings residing there gained tremendous strength, and if they crossed over to Earth, their power amplified even further. 

Conversely, for those living on Earth, the purple moon meant losing all their powers.

The pieces fell into place in her mind – the portal, the disappearance of her powers, and the events that led them to this moment. 

The purple moon was the catalyst behind all of it. 

Jisoo understood that she needed to act swiftly to protect Adrian and herself from the heightened dangers that surrounded them during this extraordinary night.

Jisoo took a deep breath, steeling herself for the situation they were in. She understood that she needed to stay composed if they were to escape from this perilous place. 

Keeping her cool and maintaining her composure was crucial. With determination in her eyes, she focused on the task at hand.

She knew that their safety depended on her ability to keep a clear mind and act decisively. "Run!" She urgently whispered to Adrian. 

They started sprinting, hoping to find a way out. However, luck was not on their side that night. As they hurried through the darkness, they stumbled over something and fell. 

Jisoo's vision blurred, and the last thing she heard was a cold voice saying, "You really thought you could escape me, princess."

Jisoo slowly opened her eyes, her head throbbing with pain. As she looked around, the familiar scent and surroundings confirmed her fears – she was back in a place she had hoped to never return to. 

The frustration overwhelmed her, and she closed her eyes, trying to gather her thoughts and figure out what to do next. 

The memories of the past flooded her mind, and she knew that escaping this time would be even more challenging than before. 

But she also knew that she had to find a way to protect herself and, more importantly, her son.

With a deep breath, she resolved to stay strong and determined in the face of adversity, knowing that she had to find a way out of this predicament once again.

Jisoo heard the voice and instantly recognized it. Fear surged through her as she realized who it was. 

With a quick decision, she decided to pretend to be asleep, hoping that the man wouldn't suspect her true awareness. 

The man's deep chuckle sent shivers down her spine, making her aware of the danger she was in. 

Despite knowing that he probably saw through her act, she kept up the pretense until he left the room.

Once the man was gone, Jisoo opened her eyes, her heart pounding in her chest. She knew that she had to be cautious and patient, waiting for the right moment to make a move. 

With determination in her heart, she vowed to find a way to protect herself and Adrian, planning her escape strategy with utmost care and precision.

Jisoo's heart raced as she remembered the most important thing – her son, Adrian. Panic and worry consumed her as she ran out of the room, navigating through the familiar routes of the vast palace. 

Despite the fear that gripped her, her knowledge of the place was an advantage. She had to find Adrian and make sure he was safe.

As she moved stealthily through the palace, every moment felt like an eternity. She tried to stay hidden from any potential threats, her mind focused solely on finding her son. 

Every turn, every corner held the possibility of danger, but she was determined to face it all to protect her child.

Jisoo's heart pounded as she heard her sisters' voices on the royal balcony, a mix of anger, betrayal, and concern surging through her veins. 

Seeing them with Adrian, the child she loved and protected with all her heart, caused a rush of conflicting emotions. 

Memories of their past actions resurfaced, reminding her of the betrayal and animosity that once existed between them.

With every step she took, her determination grew stronger. She couldn't let her sisters get away with this hypocrisy and manipulative behavior. 

She rushed down the stairs, steeling herself for whatever confrontation awaited. Jisoo knew that she had to confront them and protect Adrian from any further harm or deceit. 

The safety and well-being of her child came above all else, and she was ready to face any challenges to ensure his protection.

Jisoo's eyes blazed with determination as she went up to her sisters, pulling Adrian protectively into her embrace. 

As Jisoo held Adrian close and felt her powers surging back, she unleashed her telekinetic abilities, throwing the table across the garden with a powerful force. 

With her youngest sister, Gyuri, now suspended in the air, she looked her in the eyes, her voice firm and unwavering.

"He is my son, and I won't let you play with his emotions like this," she stated firmly, her voice laced with both anger and sadness.

Jisoo's oldest sister's voice rang out, demanding that she release the youngest sister from her telekinetic grasp. 

But Jisoo was resolute and determined, no longer willing to be controlled or manipulated by her family.

She stared at her oldest sister, Irene, her eyes filled with both strength and sadness. "No more," Jisoo replied firmly. 

"I won't be manipulated by any of you any longer. Adrian is my son, and I won't let any of you hurt him or use him against me."

Jisoo's youngest sister squirmed and pleaded, while the oldest sister looked furious and frustrated. 

But Jisoo stood her ground, no longer afraid of the consequences. She knew that it was time to break free from the toxic influence of her family and protect her son at all costs.

With a final surge of determination, Jisoo gently lowered her youngest sister to the ground. "Let's go, Adrian," she said, taking his hand firmly in hers. 

Together, they walked away from the palace, leaving behind the manipulations and power struggles of the past.
