Kendra sighed. She got her powers back as they were again grown-ups and she could feel her emotions. She doesn"t hate this girl. But soon they will leave and they can"t take her with them.She calmed down and softened her expression. "Lucia, I know your heart. But, Max really has no feelings for you. If you continue pursuing him like this, we will leave and never come back."
Lucia paled. "Where? Why?"
Kendra wanted to answer, but office door opened and Max came out with a pregnant woman. He furrowed his eyebrows when he saw Lucia.
"You again?" His voice was emotionless.
Lucia stepped towards him but saw his eyes becoming icy. "Why? I am pretty, rich, healthy, smart... There is nothing wrong with me, why then you dislike me."
Max snorted. "You are as well disrespectful, heartless, cruel and in my eyes, all that makes you very disgusting."
Lucia finally snapped. "Disrespectful? Your wives, I hate from deep in her soul. They dare to touch you and have you. You are mine..."
But before she could even touch his body she was grabbed from the back and dragged.
Kendra literally held her neck in her hands and dragged her effortlessly out. Then she threw her out into nearby bushes and clapped her hands. "Miss Stalls, you are from now on the blacklist. Guards, remember this woman. If she ever again comes near my brother, I"ll beat you up personally. Understood!""
People stared at the furious looking woman going back inside the house while pointing at the woman that tried to climb out the bushes.
"That Stalls girl made Miss Dawning angry. She is so doomed." They shook their heads and rushed away while the guards took their swords out and pointed at the angry woman.
"What? I"m Lucia Stalls. You dare to stop me?" Her father was a minister on side of the city Lord. Since childhood, she was haughty as her standing was higher than a normal commoner.
When family Dawning came to the city and opened doctors office, everyone earned in that. Especially in the city. Crowds of people arrived as the Dawning siblings were famous healers.
She was amazed by their calm countenance and complete lack of emotions. But once she saw Max warmly holding his wife and smiling brightly at her and she was so amazed by it.
The bright warmth he gave off when he was around his wife was something she wanted for herself.
She turned around and rushed straight to the City Hall. Guards let her in but when she was about to enter the office two guards stopped her.
"Sorry, miss Stills, but City Lord is inside. You have to wait for a bit." He tried to speak to her respectfully but was stunned by her strange expression.
Her eyes became s.h.i.+ny. "City Lord? Yes, he can help me. Move aside. Now!"
Before they could even react she pa.s.sed them and rushed inside the man office. "City Lord, please help me..."
With a heart-wrenching cry, she went on her knees and pitifully looked at the City Lord and froze. What she saw froze every cell in her body.
The City Lord held her father ambiguously in his arms, while this one shyly blushed. They both completely ignored her presence.
With shaky eyes she saw City Lord lowering his head and kissing her father without any care. They were so deep into their affection that they didn"t even realize her intrusion.
"Father?" Her voice was almost a whisper as she stared at the two men.
Her father had gla.s.sy eyes and he was completely not concentrated, but City Lord turned his eyes towards her and smirked.
"What is it now? Mr Dawning again?"
Hearing about Max she regained focus and stood up, completely ignoring their doings as a crazy smile appeared in her eyes. "Is there anything I can do to have him for myself."
City Lord stopped and then stepped away from the Dorian Stalls. In two steps he came close to her and grabbed her neck with one hand.
She was suddenly afraid. Since she was born this man adored her, but seeing now his furious expression while checking her she became petrified.
"If Dawnings leave because of you, I"ll marry you to my brother. His last wife just gave him one more child and died. And it was a girl, again. Maybe he will have more luck with you?" His threat made her shake all over her body.
"Please, no. Please. I will be good." His brother was a cruel man that changed wives as someone shoes. Bit worst is that his wives died after giving birth.
Seven wives, seven daughters. If she has to live with such a man, her life will become a living h.e.l.l.
But the eyes of the City Lord contained pure anger... He will do it. She was sure about it. The only way to be safe was to get Dawning to become her husband. She must act fast, or her future life will be a h.e.l.l.
"Miss, that woman is back and wants to talk to you. What should we do?" Guard fame to Kendra and respectfully bowed.
Kendra nodded and went out. Lucia Stalls stood there and waited empty-eyed. Clear prints of fingers were on her neck. She narrowed her eyes and came forward. "Miss Stalls?"
"I just found your brother amazing as I saw his interaction with his wife. Wanting such husband, what is wrong with that? But now, I can only veg you and your brother to help me." Lucia Stalls knew this was her last chance so she wanted to come clean with the truth.
Kendra calmly listened to what happened and why and sighed. "My brother won"t marry you. But, we can help you go far away and live a wonderful life until the end."
Lucia Stalls was not a fool and just accepted it. They will leave anyway the next day, as the last bugs were found. If she leaves Lucia Stalls in here, she will as well have such a nasty life.
She met that man and he was a cruel nasty person. Lucia was maybe a stalker but still, she felt uncomfortable to send her to be with that man.
"Is there anything at your home you want to take?" Kendra saw Lucia shaking her head and sighed. "Is there a place in this world you want to live?"
"Seaside." Lucia followed her into the empty hallway as it was the end of work and only the four people were inside. With curiosity, she saw Max for the first time smiling at her and nodding.
Kendra took a small box out the corner of the table and stuffed it into her arms. "This will be enough for you to live happily until the end of your days. Be happy."
Under her astonished eyes, the surrounding changed and she appeared near one beautiful city near the even more beautiful sea.
She saw the four people smiling at her and giving her a paper. "This is our property in this city. Live well. We need to leave this world now."
She saw Kendra"s body changing under her dazed eyes. "What are you?"
Kendra patted her head softly. "I"m G.o.ddess Kaia. Now live well. Promise?"
Lucia Stalls nodded and they disappeared. Later she found a way to send her father a message and explained everything. She found a man that loved her, had a bunch of children with him and lived happily. And the two love birds visited her often as they understood on end what truly happened. After all, this kind of thing was impossible in normal terms.
When they appeared in the mid realm a surprise awaited them. A true surprise that made her astonished and happy...
