Hell Marriage

Chapter 50: You went back in time?

Author’s POV

Alaina’s look changed to that of confusion.

“Excuse me?”

“I don’t quite understand what you’re saying, you want me to do what?, kidnap her?” She asked, brows furrowed

Jaguar stared at her, a smile curling up his lips

“I don’t care if you kidnap her, I don’t even care whatever method you use, I want her here that’s all” He replied.

His deal is a pretty good one, by getting him Ava, I’ll be able to get Connor, I’m sure Carrissa is already dead by now, I need a back up plan anyways and this sounds nice, I don’t really care either, I can just Kidnap Ava, it’s not a bad idea either, in fact he gave me the perfect idea, Alaina thought.

“Do we have a deal?” He asked, already knowing her answer.

He put out his hand to shake Alaina, she studied his hand only for a second.

“We do have a deal” She said said, she put forth her hand and he took it in his, holding it less than a second.

His hand was very cold, Alaina thought.

“Since that’s out of the way, why don’t you have something to eat now, I know you must be very hungry” He said.

“Yes, you’re right, I’ll like to get something to eat and if you’re not bothered by it, I’ll like some……”

“Blood” Jaguar finished her statement for her.

Alaina glanced at him swiftly and nodded after a while.

“Very well then” He said and rang his little bed again. Once again, someone knocked on the door.

“Come in” Jaguar said politely, he’s so nice, Alaina thought yo herself.

“You called for me sir?” This time it wasn’t the same attendant that came earlier,

“Yes, Miss Alaina here, will like somethings” He said.

“Yes sir” She replied bowing.

“On that note, I guess I’ll leave you to your own devices.” He said, looking pointedly at Alaina.

“We’ll see some other time” Jaguar said as he stood up from his chair.

The maid or attendant whatever she’s called, stepped aside and Jaguar walked out of the room without looking back

Alaina watched his retreating back and sighed.

So manly, if only she wasn’t madly in love with Connor.

“What are the things you’ll like to order ma’am?” The attendant got down to business right away.

“Firstly, I need blood. Lots of it” Alaina said, rolling her long sleeves up.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“Of course ma’am, I’ll be right back.” The attendant said and left the room.

“Wait, I don’t understand, descendant of our time?” Nicholas asked, putting a hand on his temple.

“Oh my Gosh, you don’t understand?, well then I’ll tell you”

“It is said that once in a life time the moon goddess sends a seer to help in our matters, this seer possess super natural powers and not only can she see into the future and the past but can actually go to the future and the past, but it depends if she actually wants to, she has this power amongst other powers” Cyprian said.

“Woah” Nicholas breathed.

“Look, I don’t know about all that, but I did go there” Ava said breaking the silence.

“Tell us how it happened” Cyprian said.

“Uhn?” Ava asked, confusion written on her face.

“I mean I know about your kind, ouch sorry” Cyprian apologized when Ava glared at him.

“I mean, I’ve read about descendants, but I’ve never met one, so please indulge us and tell us how you were able to see this things, I mean Connor’s past” Cyprian said smiling,

“I want to know” Connor whispered.

“I don’t know… I just…” Ava breathed heavily.

“I know it’s wrong but I…”

“You what?” Cyprian asked, anxious to know everything.

“I went back to see the painting” Ava said, glancing away from Connor.

“I’m sorry, I just couldn’t resist the temptation to go back” She said heavily.

“It’s fine, what happened next?” Connor asked.

“You might want to sit down, it’s a long story” Ava suggested.

“I think we should all sit down” Cyprian said, he was getting excited.

“Yeah” Nicholas, sitting on a sofa.

Ava led Connor to the chair, Connor sat down while Ava turned to leave, probably to sit somewhere else.

Connor drew her swiftly on his lap.

“Sit here” He said softly.

Ava stared at him for a moment as if asking a question.

“Yes” Connor said, answering her wordless question.

“Look, if you’re done with your…..” Cyprian said, he left his statement hanging, leaving them to guess what he wanted to say.

“Please start” Nicholas said gently, he was quite anxious himself.

Connor tightened his hold around Ava, making her to stop glaring at Cyprian who was sitting beside Nicholas.

“Keep glaring, when you’re done, you can start” Cyprian said to rile her.

“And if I don’t?” Ava asked, mad at Cyprian.

“Simple, I won’t forgive you” Cyprian shrugged.

“Oh really?” Ava asked, raising a brow.

“Trying to blackmail me?”

“Nope, with or without blackmail, I know you’ll tell us anyway, forget about me, you won’t want to make Connor or Nicholas Wait, I’m mearly doing you a favor, in exchange for telling, i’ll forgive your insult to me last night.” Cyprian said looking away.

“Fine you win” Ava smiled, she knows he would have forgiven her whether or not she tells them what happened.

“So, if you’re done with the family drama, will you please start, someone’s waiting for me” Nicholas asked.

“Yes” Ava blushed madly.

“I went back to the painting because..” She said and stopped, glancing around the room and looking at their faces, they were all eager to know what happened.

“After, I received the paper, that stated my mate is a murderer, and after accusing Nil wrongly”

“Connor refused to come pick me for our date, then he told me Carrissa broke out of prison”

“I was very restless and the only thing I could think of was the painting so I went back there” Ava glanced nervously at Connor and he nodded

“Go on” He whispered.

“I didn’t bother to go inside the Jewelry room, I knew what I wanted to see, so I went to the room that holds the painting”

“I got scared, it became awfully cold, when I turned on the light” She stopped shivering slightly.

Connor tightened drew her closer, rubbing her shoulders.

“When I turned on the light, I saw the painting as it was before but this time, it was slightly different, it was as if they were all staring at me, it was as if the baby’s smile was for me”

“I was very scared, I can’t explain it but something was off”

“I walked towards the painting, I could hear my heart beats, like before I touched the painting, but unlike earlier when I had touched your mother’s face, I touched yours and it felt… Warm” She glanced at Connor, her lips shook a little.

“I moved my fingers away and stepped back, but something was off, I wasn’t seeing the painting anymore, they were real and she was smiling at me, smiling for me”

“You went back in time?” Nicholas broke the silence in the room.
