The Last Embrace Chapter 122
Advertisement
Jessy landed in her room.
She took a quick shower and went to the Queen's study room to see her mother-in-law.
"I'm here, Mother!" she went inside without knocking since the door was slightly open.
The Queen put down the book she was reading in the center table. "So, how's it going, Jessy? How does it feel to see my son again and reunited with him?" She saw the sparkle on the younger woman's eyes, which means Jessy's reunion with her son is a big success. She's feeling relieved that they are finally on good terms again, which means the prophecy will proceed as plan. She no longer has to worry about the future, it looks promising.
Jessy was all smile, the happiness was plastered all over her face. "Adam and I are good, we're happy. Everything is good between us, we already have patched up our differences, Mother," she shared the good news.
"That's good! I'm happy for the two of you, after being separated by me, you two deserved to be happy and be together for the rest of your lives," said the Queen sincerely.
Jessy thought that for the first time in her life she and the Queen were both on the same page now, no more quarreling and no more animosity between them. It's a good feeling to have when everything just fits perfectly at all angles. She will be sharing the news with her mother and father soon, they will be happy for her for sure.
She was about to get out of the room when she remembered one thing that she needed to tell the Queen.
"Mother, I just want to bring to your attention that Zain slap Hannah hard the other day and the poor woman landed on the floor," she shared the bad news.

The Queen gasp. "Oh no! What happened to Hannah and the baby? Are they alright?"
"She is alright and the baby as well, I prohibited her to visit Zain again unless your son will calm down. I just want to protect Hannah and the baby," Jessy said.
"You did the right thing, Jess." The Queen released a sigh, deep sadness and sorrow for her eldest son now marred her face. She was troubled by Zain's descend into madness, being his mother she doesn't want to see him suffer but she has no choice either if Zain won't help himself then who can help him save himself from drowning in his ocean of anger and desolation. He alienated himself from everyone else, although what he felt right now is justified, he just feels cheated by everyone and she knows that she was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. If some people are happy there is always somebody who is suffering, not everyone can be happy at the same time.
Jessy saw the distress on the Queen's face, she stood up ready to leave the room. "I'm going now to the clinic mother to resume the blood transfusion."
"Okay, go ahead child," the Queen smiled a little and resumed reading the book she picked up from the center table although her mind was already preoccupied in trying to find ways on how to help his eldest son in coping with everything.
Jessy exited the study room and made a turn towards Hannah's room.
She found the woman still lying on the bed sporting a sad and lonely face.
"Hannah, are you alright?" she asked.
"Hi Jess, yes I'm fine. I just miss Zain so much, I wanted to see him," Hannah said, her voice full of agony and longing for her imprisoned lover.

Jessy sighed. "It's still two days since he last hurt you physically, I don't think it's the right time to see him yet. Let him reflect on his bad action first. I don't want to see him hurt you again, he might end up hurting his unborn child as well. I can't allow that to happen..."
Fresh tears sprung on Hannah's eyes.
"I will go now and check Zain's condition," Jessy said. "I will be back..."
In her invisible form, Jessy teleported herself inside the room where Zain was held captive.
Zain was lying in the bed, his eyes staring at the ceiling with tears in his eyes.
He seemed to be calmer now compare to the other day.
He must be thinking about what went wrong with his life and why he ended inside the room being held like a prisoner. For such a former powerful vampire Prince and now turn mortal with no power at his disposal and imprisoned by his parents, his situation was tragic like death itself, Jessy observed.
How can she help him?
Does she need to help him?
But what she can do for him? When she knows that she was all he ever wanted. She was the one who can make him happy now that he loses everything.
Since she doesn't want to become a martyr any longer and she gives high importance to her happiness more than anybody else then she might as well stop herself from thinking on how to help Zain because if he won't help himself then she can't help him either.

Re: Dragonize
After an unexpected turn of events, Drew must now survive in a world full of challenges with life-or-death stakes. Gone are the days when the biggest problems to face were awkward small-talk at physics department luncheons or mountains of lab work; this former physicist is now adrift in an unfamiliar land without any equipment. Now, Drew's only tool (if it can be called that) is a System, which provides constant reminders of all of the things that are still out of reach for a low-level being who's just arrived in a new world. Luckily, Drew has one powerful asset when taking on the challenges of this new world: surviving violent conflict is a lot easier when you have the power of a dragon at your disposal. Still, Drew has always considered violence a last resort. Why turn to fists (or claws) when a bit of quiet consideration might expose a better path forward? Maybe a life of quiet contemplation is still within reach for this former academic researcher. ...Or maybe not. It probably won't be a life of bloodless pacifism. Additional information for those who wish to calibrate their expectations (I'm adding this based on a few comments I received from readers who feel that the story is not what they expected from a dragon-themed story): Re: Dragonize is not a power fantasy -- or at least, it's not intended to be one. Re: Dragonize is a progression fantasy starting with a protagonist who must start at the bottom (or close to it), and work gradually upwards, making incremental progress with plenty of setbacks along the way. The protagonist, as someone coming from the world of academia, tends to be cautious, methodical, and contemplative. As such, expect this story to contain more than a few digressions as the main character takes the time to pontificate on a variety of topics ranging from Newtonian physics and horology to the nature of existence and the ethical dilemmas associated with being an obligate carnivore.

3 Hearts
With three hearts in one body, in a world that is inhabited by beings that are trying to kill me. How did I Civitas end up like this, although I was born completely normal... or was I? [NOTE: Ok since I am not able to bring my depressed ass to writing regularly, chapters come when they come. I can't guarantee anything, but I'll try to make chapters more frequent. Btw. In my opinion, my writing gets better after like chapter 6, so I recommend reading at least this far.]

Ambition [Indefinite Hiatus]
Hunger, poverty, and suffering rampages throughout the world of Terra, as its seven great nations remain locked in a draining stalemate. In the midst of all this, Eremus and Ducis, two insignificant boys born with nothing, to nothing, develop a grand ambition to conquer the world and rid it of the concept of war forever. Eremus is proud of his cunning, and is confident that it will serve him well in achieving his shared ambition with Ducis. However, now he must match wits with the greatest minds of the land, and he may find that he has bitten off far more than he can chew... Note: This is a story I wrote when I was in high school, and have only recently moved it here to Royal Road. It was my first stab at writing an original fiction of my own, and though I had many things planned for it, I don't think I'll be continuing this now or in the forseeable future.

The Dog with a Chair
As of now, this story is dropped. It was an excellent learning experience, but the quality suffered too much from me trying new things for me to continue in good concience. Thanks to anyone that read it. I'm leaving this story up as a record of my first ever attempt at publishing something I've wrote. To any new writers out there, remember that even if the stuff you write is trash, you can still learn a lot from writing it. - November 17th 2020 Guy gets involved in advocacy for civil engineering projects, then gets pulled into an interdimensional war. Third person with a focus on one main character (Stanley) with the occasional point of view from another character important to story progression. Writing style tends to shift early on as I figure out how to write (this is my first book). Still learning, hoping to improve. Current style choice is to have a focus on character dialogue/actions with interspersed internal monologue in italics. No current end is set for the story, with the primary goal of this project being to learn to express myself in a written format. Storyline is kept as consistent as practical while covering things I find interesting. Governmental systems are mentioned, but not explained in extreme detail. Sci fi elements are used to reinforce and guide plot progression as I'm able. Personal goals belonging to each character are in the process of being developed, with the hope that they will support or oppose each other in interesting ways later on. Hope you enjoy :)
