Dear Ex-Wife You Are MINE (Victoria and Alessandro) novel Chapter 138

VICTORIA'S POV ...

I sat in a daze.

'She sacrificed herself' was the only line that roamed around my head. I was left speechless and silent for God knows how long.

Both Sage and Ronald also turned quiet. Until I broke the silence with my next question, "She was a witch as per your words, right? Then why she needs to ask for help? She could have taken care of it by herself, couldn't she?"

I heard Ronald sighing and looked up at him. He shook his head, "Not really. It does not work how you humans imagine it. We have certain rules to follow in our world. Also, not every female born in the wizardry family could attain power. Mostly, it's the first born of the witch mother who obtains her powers and sometimes, it could be the first two."

"And Nina was the third daughter of her mother. Her first two sisters were powerful but she came as a mere human. And in the magical world, humans do not even count as a creature. They are the lowest and are despised by most clans. And her powerful sisters are so rude and they bullied her all along. When Nina turned eighteen, she ran away from home and started working as Arthur's father's assistant. The man was good, he adopted her as his daughter and then set her marriage with his son. And you know the rest." Ronald explained.

I blinked and turned silent again. Something is not fitting in right. "Then if she sacrificed herself. The curse should go away, right? Why are we still on this matter? What more danger she is talking about?"

Ronald stayed quiet for a second and then spoke, "Yeah, she did. To reconnect, she has immolated herself and that needs to happen before saying her wish. After a witch take a certain thing, she starts her work. To get benefited, now someone should take the place to lead Nina's way. And she chose you to do it, Victoria."

I gasped in surprise. She chose me with this? She trusted me with her secrets and fight to win the dark over!?

"Yes." Doctor nodded. "But, you should know one thing first, the magic spelt on your family was so powerful that even Nina's powerful family can't handle it. If someone can do it, that is Raeven, whom Nina mentioned in the note. Now, I am taking you to Raeven. Only she can help you out of this."

I formed an 'O' shape with my mouth, once again turning silent. I really don't have any idea what to do with this news!

I mean the attacks of shocks are really too much for me! Sage is still silent and I couldn't see his thoughts. I am sure, he is thinking all these are bogus. However, the spark I have seen in Ronald's eyes is forcing me to believe his words.

I guess, I would know more about it after I meet with Raeven. Okay, now I am more curious to see this Raeven.

While I was still drowning in my thoughts, I heard, "Come out of the car, Victoria."

I blinked and looked around only to find that the car has stopped and both Sage and Ronald are out of the car now, standing, holding the car door for me. Their eyes were on me, confused.

Was I so absentminded to not even notice that the has stopped? Oh Lord, please help me!

I came out of the car and once again looked around. We are now in the middle of the jungle, on this dark night in the forest! Fuck! If we get killed here, no one would ever know!

Should I send Aless my location? I guess so!

Immediately I brought out my phone but shit! No network!

"You won't get any network here. This place belongs to the creatures who do not need mobile phones at all. Their place and lives are different than humans." Ronald said and I cursed in my mind.

Fuck! I should have texted him before reaching here! But, can't do anything now. What's done is already done.

I felt Sage standing close behind me, alert and hand in the gun in his belt. He would shoot surely if he sense any trouble.

Ronald asked us to follow him closely and soon we entered the darker part of the jungle. I really have no idea where we are going!?
