Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future

Chapter 122

Katherine’s POV

 

The estate is unusually quiet when I get home from work. I don’t notice the usual hustle and bustle, but I chalk it up to coming home later than I normally do.

 

I push open the door to my darkened office, pour myself a glass of scotch, and make my way over to the desk. I turn on the desk lamp and sit down, taking a deep sip of my drink.

 

“Hello, Iokaste,” I lean back in my chair, addressing the woman in the tall wingback seat across the desk, “You look like shit.”

 

“Hello, Katherine. Thank you for the compliment,” she snarks at me and leans forward from the shadow, letting me see her pale skin and sunken eyes be more clearly. Her spindly hand supports her chin. The longer I look at her, the more I realize she is way too thin.

 

“K-Kas. Are-are you alright?” I stammer when I see her true condition.

 

“Don’t worry about me, darling. You never have before. I'm here because I need you to do something for me. I'm going to give you a choice on how you do it,” she says, steepling her fingers in front of her face.

 

I laugh dismissively, “You're going to tell me what to do? Darling, not in this lifetime.”

 

“Well then, your precious Maven, Amari's Giatros, and Tessa’s Fuoros will stay with me until the end of their lifetimes,” she counts on her fingers casually.

 

“What are you talking about?” I stand up and try to mind link my sisters.

 

“No one’s here, Katherine,” Iokaste’s voice rings back in my mind, “They came willingly when I asked.”

 

“You're a fucking liar. The Maven won't go any where with you,” Islam my hand on the table at her falsehoods.

 

Iokaste leans her head back against the chair and cackles dryly at me, “You're supposed to be so damn smart. You're just as conceited and foolish as the next person, Katherine.”

 

She stands slowly, supporting herself against the arm of the chair.
