The Beauty And The Wolf - Chapter 140

Dolores guided Ivy in touring the whole area of the mansion.

They finished checking all the rooms upstairs.

Next… the rooms and places on the ground floor.

To show her sincerity, Dolores even brought Ivy to the basement to show the room where Rhett used to be his prison room.

“This is the room where the wolf was kept hidden by the Priestess. Although he stayed here for a long time, he didn’t live in a pathetic condition. We took good care of his food and everything. The Priestess made sure that he lives in a clean environment provided with delicious meals three times a day,” Dolores explained.

“Why are you telling me this-?” Ivy asked.

Dolores sighed. “This is my way of showing you that I am sincere with my intention. In short, I am telling you the truth that the Priestess and the wolf are no longer residing here. They already left and relocated to another place far from here. If you ask me where they have gone to, I’m sorry, I have no idea. When the Priestess bid goodbye to me – I ask her where they are going… she didn’t tell me,” she elaborated further.

“I see… you talk too much and I appreciated your honesty and sincerity, but I have to do this…” Ivy said and freeze the woman.

She landed on the woman’s head and began scanning her memory. She saw everything, heard their conversation, and witnessed the moment when the Priestess finally bid goodbye to her devoted follower and vanished from the room, the same room that they’re occupying right now.

It looks like the woman was telling the truth.

Although the Priestess relocate to a faraway place, she knows that sooner or later that shameless woman will return to visit her sisters in the mansion. She might not be able to guess the perfect time when that woman finally returns but she can always devise a way how to catch her if she indeed returns to this place.

She floated out of the room and left the basement, going outside to check the massive property. Maybe that shameless woman was just hiding somewhere in the vicinity.

Ivy hovered in the air, she scanned the whole area, left to right.

Fifteen minutes later.

She finished touring the vast property, however, she failed to smell the scent of the wolf and that of the Priestess.

They’re indeed gone!

She hovered back to the mansion.

She returned to the basement and unfrozen the woman. “I’m leaving…” she said.

“I’ll escort you out of the house,” Dolores offered.

“No need, I know the way out,” Ivy responded.

“Please don’t come back again,” Dolores pleaded.

“You have no right to say that, goodbye!” Ivy said icily and vanished from the room.

Dolores released a deep sigh and exited the room. She left the basement and went outside to see if the magic carpet is still hovering in front of the mansion.

When she stepped outside the house, huge relief washed over her after noticing that the magic carpet was already gone.

She took a deep breath. She knows that they will come again and continue spying on this area. She should warn the Priestess not to come here anymore, instead, they will just meet outside the mansion for safety precautions.

She went inside the house.

Meanwhile…

Onboard the floating magic carpet.

Sabrina felt relieved that Ivy had finally returned to the magic carpet safe and sound. “I’m deeply worried that something bad happened to you again after you did not return quickly. You got me worried!” she scolded the bird.

“Stop worrying, we’re already far away from the mansion. Nothing bad happened to me so please stop worrying,” Ivy said.

Sabrina pouted. “You have no idea how anxious I am while my eyes were glued to the entrance of the mansion to see if you come out of it alive!” she continues.

“I told you that the second time we come here I am well prepared – therefore I won’t let them fool me again,” Ivy stated.

“So, what did you find there?” Sabrina began her inquiries.

“The Priestess and your beloved boyfriend is already gone …” Ivy answered.

Sabrina’s brows knitted together. “Whaaaat-? Gone? Where did they go?” she asked worriedly.

“The Priestess and the wolf left the house early morning today and didn’t inform her minions where they are going, she feared that they will be implicated if she will tell them where she is going. So to save her sisters, she didn’t reveal to her trusted follower the name of the place where they will be relocating,” Ivy explained.

“Did you believe that woman? What if she was lying all along and they hide the Priestess and Rhett somewhere inside the vast property?” Sabrina suggested.

“I read the woman’s memory and she told me the truth, I can assure you that she didn’t lie,” Ivy said.

Sabrina breathed deeply, feeling disappointed by the unpredictable turn of events. “We arrived here too late. It seemed we have to find them everywhere, it’s like finding a needle in a haystack,” she said with a gloomy sigh.

“Don’t worry too much, finding them is hard but not impossible. I can find a way to locate them,” Ivy said confidently.

“How?”

“Just leave this issue to me,” Ivy said.

Sabrina stared at the horizon in the distance, wondering where they are right now. “Okay fine, I’ll stop worrying about finding their location. I trust you, I’m confident that you will show me their location one day,” Sabrina spoke.

“Good! I won’t disappoint you! I will find them within one or two months!” Ivy assured her.

“Thank you, friend. I’m ashamed that you have to do everything for me when the truth is you have no obligation to help me. I appreciate your effort and sincerity,” Sabrina said sadly.

“No need to feel sorry or feel ashamed. What are friend’s are for?” Ivy said.

Sabrina smiled and gushes, “You are indeed my best friend for life!”

“Same!” Ivy replied cheerfully.

A few minutes later, they finally arrived in the Portwell Mansion and landed in Sabrina’s room safely.

“We’re finally here! Thank God, nothing bad happen today, I feel relived!” Sabrina said as she stepped out of the carpet.

The magic carpet disappeared instantly the moment Sabrina and Ivy left.

Sabrina went to bed and sat on the edge, looking at the window, wearing a gloomy expression on her face. She felt disappointed that she wasn’t able to see Rhett again, she expected too much of today’s outing, yet they went home empty-handed.

Ivy noticed the sadness on Sabrina’s face. Her friend is sad because they failed to find her lover. She regretted returning the wolf to the Hillsraine Grove when Amber instructed her to do so. She should have known that her friend would regret her decision after recovering all of her memories, but it’s too late now, what is already done can’t be undone.

She will spend her every waking hour finding that shameless woman and the wolf!

She won’t come back here until she will successfully find their hiding place.

She bid goodbye to her friend. “I’m going home now, good night!” she said.

“Night night, thank you for everything,” Sabrina said.

“Don’t mention it,” Ivy flew towards the window and disappeared into the night.

Sabrina rose to her feet and closed the window, ready to sleep and forget her worries behind.

After turning the light off, she went to bed and lie down.

She released a deep sigh. She already had Rhett! Why did Amber send him away!?

Stupid Amber!

She hated herself for being so stupid!

Now, it’s going to be hard finding the Priestess and her beloved boyfriend everywhere!

It’s gonna be frustrating for her from now on!

What to do now?

Maybe the guardian can help her find them?

She will try asking the guardian’s help! She hoped the guardian is willing to find them on her behalf. She will try summoning him, no harm in trying. Nothing to lose but everything to gain if he will help her.

“Guardian, can you hear me? Please talk to me! I need your help! I’m desperate!” she said.

She waited for the guardian to reply in her mind, minutes went by, he still did not respond.

She released a deep sigh. He’s not gonna come out of his shell because she’s not in danger.

“I know right!” she grumbled sadly.

She grabbed the blanket and covered her body, preparing to sleep.

She needs to stop thinking about that shameless woman and Rhett or else she will go crazy!

She has no power, she can only rely on Ivy’s willingness to help her find Leera and Rhett. She can’t rely on the guardian, he turned deaf ears on her plea, he doesn’t want to help her!

She shut her eyes to sleep.

One hour later, Sabrina is still wide awake, dammit she can’t sleep!

It’s no use forcing her mind to sleep, it’s hyperactive! Always thinking of Rhett!

She left the bed and turned on the light, then she went to the bookshelf and grabbed a book, and began reading.

Two hours later, she started yawning, rubbing her eyes, finally she feels sleepy, she put the book on the side table, left the bed, turned off the light and went back to sleep.

Fifteen minutes later.

Sabrina drifted into a deep slumber.

…

Across the miles.

In the forest, at Doriaas place.

Lying on the bed, Leera embraced her husband lovingly from behind.

Ever since she erased Rhett’s memory again, he no longer cares about romance. He no longer kisses or touches her intimately.

He’s cold as ice!

A heavy price to pay just to keep him by her side at all cost.

The truth is… she’s not happy!

But she already sealed her fate, choosing the point of no return so she has to bear all the consequences, whether she likes it or not.

She bit her lip sadly, shutting her eyes tightly, forcing herself to have a good night’s sleep for the sake of her baby in her womb and her husband, who is heavily dependent on her care and guidance.

One hour later.

Leera finally succumbed to a night of deep sleep.
