Chapter 77 Lights Out

Memories of three months ago popped into Sophie's memory.

That day she was very angry that Audrey challenged them in front of so many people in the University so out of rage she challenged Audrey to a fight.

She was so confident about her powers and her chances of winning until she stepped into the school's fighting arena.

Right now she doesn't even want to think of what happened to her after the fight started.

"You…,"

"She is nothing but a frustrated soul who goes about looking for who to frustrate so let her be. Because nothing good will come out of reasoning with a lunatic," Tiffany said, signalling Sophie to sit since people were looking at their table.

"And this lunatic here is gonna make sure you don't get married to the King, not to mention smelling the crown of the Queen so I will advise you to stop daydreaming," Audrey said smiling.

Her smile and words annoyed Tiffany to the bones and normally she would have attacked Audrey right there but because people were looking she had to suppress her anger.

"I would rather marry the King than letting someone like you get married to him. I have told you this so many times…,"

"You can keep on ranting but I won't keep you company. I have better things to do than stand here listening to the words of a lunatic," Tiffany said sternly.

She turned and strolled away.

"While walking I will advise that you watch your back because you don't know in which direction you are gonna get knocked dead," Doris threatened sternly but in low tones.

"Isn't that supposed to be my line? I mean for heaven's sake you guys are the murderers and not me. Be careful when you walk because you don't know in what direction karma is gonna hit you," Audrey said unyieldingly.

She walked away after successfully getting the girls more enraged.

"If she is not careful, I swear I am gonna bury at least five bullets into her head," Sophie said with clenched teeth.

At tonight's party, the Queen Mother didn't fail to show everyone that the chosen one was Tiffany.

She achieved this great feat by embracing Tiffany, something she is known never to have done before.

As if that wasn't enough she offered Tiffany a seat at the royal table.

"What do you think about getting the Queen's crown as compensation for the way my son has been treating you all these years?" Queen Mother asked as she held Tiffany's hands and caressed them lovingly.

"What!" Tiffany could not hide her excitement and shock on the hearing of the Queen Mother's proposal.

Never in her wildest imagination had she thought that the Queen Mother would make such a proposal in the presence of so many people.

"Does your expression say that you are about to decline my offer?" Queen Mother Theresa asked as though she wasn't aware of the reason Tiffany was speechless.

"Of course not, Your Highness. I would love that," Tiffany replied with a broad smile.

"That is good. Don't worry, with me around, never will you suffer any injustice as my daughter-in-law," Queen Mother Theresa said smiling.

They were still talking when Kayden made an appearance. To accord the respect due to him, everyone stood on their feet to receive him.

Tiffany stood up and walked to where he was standing.

"Your Majesty, welcome," Tiffany greeted with a broad smile. "Happy 4th anniversary as the King of Twipera Kingdom. Our greatest blessing as your subject is having such a wonderful man like you as the King," Tiffany showered him with compliments thinking that she would win his admiration.

What she didn't know was that she was expecting the impossible from the wrong person.

Although she spoke so eloquently Kayden acted like she didn't exist. It was as if she was talking to a piece of rock.

"Let me walk you to your seat," Tiffany took the initiative to hold his hand.

This action of her hers earned murderous glares from Kayden.

"Touch not because my woman might get mad at me for letting just any random woman touch me," Kayden said, dropping the bomb carefreely.

Everyone was shocked by his words and how he treated Tiffany.

Apart from Tiffany's family, the Queen Mother was another person who got enraged by Kayden's words.

"Your Majesty….," Kayden only needed to glare at his mother to get her to shut her mouth tight.

As if that wasn't enough humiliation for the day Tiffany got stopped by the King when she tried to sit on the empty seat at the royal table.

"That seat has always been reserved for the Queen, and as far as I can remember I don't remember crowning anyone as Queen not to mention you," Kayden's words were rude and direct

He was never the type to hide his hard feelings for someone and recalling what Tiffany and her group did to Joanna made him feel immense hatred for them.

"But…,"

"Do you want me to repeat myself?" Kayden threw a murderous glance at the lady who wanted to make known her displeasure.

"You can keep staying if you can handle the consequences of provoking the King?"

Kayden's threats made Tiffany leave the royal table like a loyal lamb.

While sitting at the royal table, Kayden got bored despite the fun activities that were going on in the hall.

Thirty more minutes passed and yet Joanna didn't make an appearance like she had promised Kayden.

[What on Earth is keeping her?]

Kayden's forehead creased into a frown as he checked his wristwatch for God knows how many times.

[Don't tell me she got cold feet at the last minute and changed her mind about her plan]

Kayden got a little worried when time continued ticking and he couldn't spot Joanna in the hall nor could he perceive her scent.

He was just about to stand up and go in search of her when the lights went off.

"I believe this is her cue," Kayden grinned wickedly, not looking surprised like others who had no idea of what was going on.

Even the MC of the party was awestruck since this wasn't a part of their plans.

"What the hell is wrong with the lights? Go and find out what's the problem," from where he sat Kayden using his powers overheard someone passing an order to another person.

Everyone was still wondering what was going on when creepy music that could only be found in horror movies began playing.

"What on Earth is going on here?" Everyone talked at once and then suddenly a ray of lights appeared on the upper side of the right wall.

An invisible hand started scribbling something on the wall.

"Why did you all hate me so much?"

"What wrong have I ever committed against you…,"

"That you had to push me to my death on my birthday?"

"Now that my soul can't rest, who among you should I take with me to keep me company in the netherworld?"

Everyone trembled on reading the text on the wall.

None needed to say anything for everyone to know what was going on.

"It's her ghost," Everyone cried out in fear. Those who previously sat close to the right wall stood up and searched for shelter elsewhere.

"She is here for revenge. She is gonna kill us all," came their cries again when creeping laughter filled the room.

People were trying to run out of the hall for dear life when suddenly the clanking of loud heels filled the room.

The sound was so loud that everyone present in the hall heard it.

Everyone was looking for where the noise came from when a spotlight appeared on the staircase.

...

A VERY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

HAPPY NEW MONTH ????????????!!!

First of all, I would like to apologise to regular readers for not updating chapters for the past three days.

Sorry, I couldn't meet up with the daily updates for you guys, it's just that I was trying to set up the privileged chapters that is why.

As you know it's a new month and as usual time for new goals.

GOALS FOR JULY 2022

GOAL 1: Reach 1,000 (1k) privileged chapter unlock to get five (5) extra chapters the following month.

To reach this particular goal you guys have to buy the privileged chapters and not just buy them but make sure to unlock the chapters daily.

Please support my work by buying the privileged chapters and unlocking the chapters daily because this is the only way the privileged chapter unlock will count.

Apart from the 5 chapters mass release, those who buy privileged chapters will stand a chance to win a coin code worth 100 coins the next month.

Isn't this amazing?

GOAL 2: Every 50 GOLDEN TICKETS we get this month guarantees you guys 3 extra chapters.

That is to say that if we receive 200 GOLDEN TICKETS this July 2022, you guys stand a chance of getting extra nine (9) chapters. The daily updates are not included.

Isn't this such a fantastic bargain?

GOAL 3: For every 100 power stones this book receives each week, three (3) extra chapters will be uploaded the next week as a reward for the goal.

This is to say that if we get 200 power stones this week, in the following week I will give six chapters mass release without the inclusion of the daily two chapters.

Please let's try hard to complete the goals. I strongly believe we can do this, don't you agree with me on this?
