Chapter 148 Love is the only magic...


    VICTORIA''S POV...


    I sat at the edge of the bed as I watched Aless removing his clothes. We just returned from Dominic''s


    funeral.


    It still was like a nightmare for me to recall the yesterday night. Everything was almost ending but it


    turned upside down with one brave move of Sage.


    When he apanied Aless to Carme''s House, he lost track of the guards and Aless both. Even the


    house vanished from his sight. Sage was confused and scared. He did not waste his time and rushed


    back to the hospital.


    I was awake by the time and when he described all of it to me from the beginning, I was sure that the


    dark witch was none other than Carme. Alessandro''s deceased mother who was alive actually.


    I left the hospital forthwith and exined everything to Surgeon Ronald. Because at this time, he is the


    one who could help me. Then he summoned Raeven and the rest we all know.


    We rescued Lisa and brought her back to her mother that night. Giana was happy and guilty both. As I


    have said, she could not escape her punishment and the police took her away with a shred of proper


    evidence and her own confession.


    We also decided to consult a psychiatrist for Lisa as she has been traumatised after that cruel kidnap.


    And currently, she is staying with us in the Edwards Manor.


    But, in all this, one thing happened surprisingly. All of them forgot the magical parts of that night. As if in


    their memory, it''s only a human deed and everything caused by Dominic who chose to end himself in


    the end.


    No one recalled Carme or the existence of Calvin but me. Yeah, like that first meeting with Raeven, I


    did not forget anything. I remembered every single detail of that night.


    This is really surprising and confusing to me. Why it is like that? Why I don''t forget things? Does this


    have any meaning behind it? I don''t really know. And as usual, I could not conclude any answer.


    "Penny for your thoughts, Ma''am?" My trance broke with Alessandro''s soft but deep tone beside me.


    I turned my head to him and find him sitting just beside me. I blinked and pursed my lips, before


    shaking my head. "It''s nothing, just random things. What about you? Are you okay, love?" I tried to turn


    the channel of our conversation.


    He smiled and nodded. "Yeah, I am. I have epted the hard truths of life now. Nothing can break me


    anymore." He pinched my nose lightly and chuckled.


    And I felt relieved inside. This rxed Aless is needed so much and I am d that he forgot the


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    cruellest part of it. I don''t know if it''s destiny or a deliberate move of someone specific, but I am happy


    with the turn of events.


    I leaned on his shoulder and felt his arm wrapped around me, holding me tight in his arms.


    "You know, I can ovee everything with you beside me, Victoria. You are the only person who can


    convert my anxiety into reassurance."


    I smiled hearing him and parted my lips to speak when Alessandro''s phone started ringing. I sat


    straight as he picked up his phone.


    "Advocate Davis is calling." He frowned.


    "Maybe something important. Just pick up the call." I replied, knowing well that Advocate Davis is their


    family consultant too.


    Aless picked up the call and silently heard him. Then, "Sure, Adv. Davis. Both I and Victoria are in


    Edwards Manor. You cane... Sure, we''ll be waiting for you."


    After he hung up the call, I stared at him in curiosity. "What happened? What did he say?"


    Aless tossed his phone on the bed and shrugged. "He said he wants to meet us. There is something


    important he needs to tell us. He will be arriving soon."


    I nodded, "Oh, okay."


    ***********


    Half an hourter...


    Both I and Aless were sitting in the living room, on the sofa and Adv. Davis was sitting in the opposite


    one of ours.


    "What is it, Mr Davis? Why do you want to meet us urgently?" Aless asked.


    Adv. Davis nodded and opened his ck bag before bringing out a file and handing it to Aless.


    Aless took it and opened it. I watched him curiously and frowned when his brows started farrowing


    deeply.


    He looked straight at Adv. Davis. "What is this?"


    Adv. Davis leaned on the sofa. "Yes, Alessandro. Your brother Dominic Devonte willed his Ny-five


    per cent of shares to your name two days ago. So, ording to the new will, you hold Ny-five per


    cent of Devonte properties and Reywalt Corporation. And the other five per cent belongs to the board


    members who did not sacrifice it before."


    "He did what?" I gasped and Adv. Davis nodded. "You heard it right, Victoria."


    I took the file from Alessandro''s hands and started flipping the pages to find his words true! I mean why


    would he do this!? Is he so bent on his revenge!?


    "But, why?" Aless whispered, staring at the will.


    Adv. Davis shrugged, "It''s still unknown to me. For thest three days, I was out of the city. With the


    help of my assistant, Dominic did this. I just returned this morning, and when I tried to contact him, I


    heard his death news. I am sorry for your loss, Alessandro. But I guess, he nned it all along." He


    sighed. "I guess, the answer to this question has been buried deep under the ground with him."


    He stood up. "So, my work is done here. I will are my leave."


    I nodded at him and he left as both me and Aless fell into a puzzle. The puzzle that would always


    remain unsolved...


    ***********


    AUTHOR''S POV...


    In the world of wizards and grim creatures, there stood a Pce full of dreams in the middle of the


    ocean full of mermaids and mermen.


    On the third floor of the Pce, which belongs to the king and Queen, a woman with tinum white


    hair andvender eyes stood in the huge open area, with a maid beside her.


    Hervender eyes shone in the clear moonlight and the white edges sparkled. Her white hair offered


    the vour of divination, watching the reflections of both puzzled Alessandro and Victoria in the round


    mirror globe.


    Suddenly, her concentration broke because of a gasp.


    Slowly, she turned to the brte woman, apanying her and gave her usual soft smile, "What


    happened? Do you want to ask something?"


    Brte pursed her lips and silently nodded her head, "Yes, your highness... Umm, you always said


    that Victoria has magic in herself. But, isn''t she just a mere human? What Magic Magic possibly could


    have?" She asked the question, that kept pinching her inner sense.


    Raeven smiled turning her head to the clear full moon. The red moon has gone, and so has the danger.


    "We are created to do magics, unlike humans. But, no matter what we do, our life is evolved around


    that one thing. The one magic that does not discriminate between creatures. Anyone could earn it and


    whoever has it, can fight against all odds of this world."


    Brte blinked. "A magic that doesn''t discriminate? What is that?"


    "Love," Raeven replied. "The magic is called love. The bond and love Victoria has for her family was


    enough to destroy Carme''s numerous tries of dark magic on her."


    "Love is the only magic that can erase all the darkness and give a new beginning to lives..."


    "Okay," Brte said hesitantly. "And this property transfer? Is there any magic into it too?"


    Raevne shook her head. "Not my deed anyways. That Advocate was right, the answer was buried


    deep down with Dominic."


    "Oh!" Brte rounded her lips and gulped before asking again. "Onest question, your highness."


    "Hmm..."


    "Why Victoria didn''t forget everything yet? Howe she remembered it all, your highness?"


    "Everything has its reason to happen..." Saying she looked up at the silver full moon as the corner of


    her lips curled up into a mysterious smile...
