I smiled brightly and she responded with a small smile.

Annie wrapped her hand around Aria’s shoulders and squeezed her tight.

“So, about Victor,” Annie said. “Do you know who he is?”

CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN – Defiance

Calvin’s POV

I hated that bitch.

She took away her memories. She didn’t know who I was.

I was going to find that fucking witch and kill her.

Did she really think that taking away the little bird’s memories and moving away would keep her safe from me? That I wouldn’t find her? That it would stop me from having her?

I chuckled coldly.

“Fuck you, witch,” I muttered under my breath. “I found my treasure despite your pathetic efforts to keep her away from me.”

The only thing that bugged me was that she didn’t remember me. My little bird didn’t know who I was.

“Don’t worry, little bird,” I muttered again, staring at the house. “I will remind you who I am. You will remember me. And we will make new memories together.”

I had been sitting in my car in front of that idiot’s house since I left my little bird at the bakery.

They were inside, I knew it.

They hadn’t left the house since then and I didn’t know what was going on inside. There was some kind of magical block. A powerful one. I wondered if she had put it up. I couldn’t hear or feel what was going on inside. The only way I was able to tell that the house was not empty was by seeing lights go on at night.

My little bird was so powerful. But she was hiding it. Making us wait for her to show herself again. We would take her then.

I frowned. I hate the fact that I would have to share her with Victor. She was mine. He promised he would give her to me once he was done with her.

Maybe that would be for the best. Without her powers, she would not be able to hurt me or run away from me. She will be mine.

I glanced at my watch and saw that it was 10:15 pm. Victor should be calling me soon. Not that I had any news for him. He will be pissed.

I looked at the house again and nothing had changed. I don’t think anybody will come out tonight. I leaned back in my car seat and waited for my boss to call me.

Oh, birdie, how I wish I could see you right now.

My phone vibrated in my pocket, and I took it out.

“Boss,” I said.

“Calvin,” he responded. “Any news?”

“Nothing. They still haven’t left the house,” I told him.

“Fuck,” he yells. “I can’t wait much more. I need her powers.”

“Shouldn’t you wait for the twins, boss?” I ask him. “Maybe her powers wouldn’t be enough.”

I liked that my little bird was powerful. Maybe I could still keep her even with her powers. She could make me powerful as well. If only I could convince Victor not to take her powers for himself.

“I have been trying to find those twins for ages,” he said angrily. “They don’t exist. I don’t think that prophecy is real. She exists. She will have to have enough.”
