Chapter 241

Chapter 241 Book 3 Chapter 76 ~WILLOW~

“Who is Cassius?” I demand. “What does he want with me? Why does he want me dead?”

Daisy looks at Dana and they’re both not making this easier for me. My head feels like it’s spinning.

“Because you and your sisters are the only ones in this world with the power to defeat him and his sisters,” Dana answers me.

The silence that follows makes both girls look at me for confirmation that I’d heard them.

This had to be a joke. I didn’t have any power. Why were these people messing with me?

If they were trying to make fun of me, they could stop, I wasn’t falling for this. Maybe these were two girls crazy about Dante and they were finding ways to drive me insane. He had plenty of stalkers, I wouldn’t be surprised if they belonged to that group.

“I only had one sister. Her name was Anya, and she’s dead.” I inform them. “I think you have the wrong girl. Maybe there’s another Willow out there that you should be searching for. I would really love it if you’d both let me go. I have to be somewhere soon.”

That was a lie. I didn’t have a place I stay but these women didn’t need to know that.

Daisy sighs, “I know this isn’t easy for you to accept. Anya’s real father kidnapped you and gave you to Anya’s mother to hide.

He had an argument with your father; they were friends once, that’s until your father found out that he was stealing from him.

When he asked him to leave, he did but he took you with him. They couldn’t find you because Anya’s mother kept moving, and we couldn’t search for you when we didn’t know where to look. The only possible way to locate you was if your power started to activate. And it did.” She says looking at me. “We know you’ve been fainting; your body sometimes gets as cold as ice. It’s your power surfacing. You’re not sick, Willow.”

“My father?” I ask with wide eyes. They knew about my sickness? This kept on getting creepier by the second.

Dana nods, “When your father found Anya’s father, he fought with him. He wanted information on your whereabouts. He didn’t want to stop fighting until he’d found you. Unfortunately, they both died that day and still, there was no news of where you were.”

My heart aches at this, even though I’d never met him.

“How am I supposed to believe any of this?” I demand. “The only sign that any of this is true happens to be the one thing that points to me being sick.”

“You’re not sick,” Dana assured me. “Your sisters all share a close resemblance to you. You’re triplets. I’m sure you’ve noticed that you never looked like Anya or her mother. It’s because you were never related to them.”

This was all so much for me to take in. How am I supposed to believe any of this without any solid proof? Did I really have two sisters that looked like me?

The only way for me to find out the truth was to stay in this vehicle with these strangers.

“You said that Cassius has sisters. Are they all evil?” I ask. “Who are they? What do they want?”

Daisy takes a deep breath, “You know his sisters, but before we can tell you about them. You should know the story of their father. His name was Azai Reign, and he was the most powerful sorcerer alive. He wanted to use his power for evil. He wanted to rule the world. Luckily, the mother of his children realized the monster he truly was and killed him. He also had triplets. They were all separated at one point. No one knew who they were until now. The girls seem innocent so far, but eventually, the evil inside of them will take over. Cassius, their brother, he’s the opposite. He already has evil running through his veins. He’s just like his father, and he wants revenge for his death. He wants to finish what his father started. His first step is to get rid of you and your sisters. He knows the three of you could kill him. You’re his only weakness.”

The more I heard about this story, the more frightened I became.

I’ve been so lost and in love with Dante that I had no idea what was happening around me.

“Cassius isn’t stupid,” Dana informs me. “He doesn’t want to reveal himself yet. And he knows it wouldn’t have been easy to get to you without revealing himself since you are married to Dante. That’s why this was the perfect opportunity for him to get you.

Luckily, we were also keeping an eye on you and were able to get to you first.”

I couldn’t believe this. If they hadn’t found me, Cassius would have killed me. And that’s not even the craziest part.

My mother and sister weren’t actually related to me all this time. Was this why I was so different from them?

“Your fate was to marry into that family, the Fawns.” Dana informs me. “It was meant to happen. It allowed you to get closer to the enemy. This will give you an advantage. Your job is to kill Cassius and his sisters.”

“Get closer to the enemy?” I ask, clueless. “What are you talking about? Which one of the Fawns is my enemy?”

“We mentioned before that you know both of Cassius’s sisters. He needs both of them to finish what his father started. Once he awakens the evil inside of them, he will get his wish. This is where you and your sisters will have to step in. Before this happens, you must kill all three of them.” Daisy informs me.

“Who are his sisters?” It felt like they were intentionally not telling me who they were.

“Autumn and Clarissa Fawn. They are the daughters of Azai Reign, destined to join forces with their brother and cause destruction to everything around them.”
