The Masterful Trickery: Season 7 "Get Nick..." "Who?" "Nick... Nicholas... Ever... Everar-" "Everard?" "Help 'em... my baby... please..." Alex's jaw tightened as the woman's last words echoed in her ears. She had not been able to sleep in peace since she arrived in Meriwether. "She was runnin' from someone," she said aloud. Her father remained silent. He had heard the same words from her countless of times as well. Suddenly tears filled her eyes as she looked at the woman who ought to be at peace. But that was far from the truth for her bruised beautiful face and her wounds spoke of a soul that was crying for help. "I must help her," she said, sniffing. Gustav turned his head to stare at his daughter. He did not say a word for he knew he could not stop her even if he would indeed decide to tie her down for Alex had always found a way to have her way. "She said so 'erself. There are others sufferin' out there," she said, wiping her tears with the back of her hand. "A baby, 'Pa, a babe!" Gustav merely nodded. "Ye will come te yer friends' brother. Ye will come to one of 'em Everards." It was not a question. It was a statement that gave permission. Alex nodded. "Aye. I'll come te Nicholas Everard."

"Okay," Valerie excitedly said, carefully replacing their grandparents' ancient china on the table and crossing her legs where she settled the couch. "So let us do a recap."

Violet, her twin, nodded her, her dark hair swaying with her head.

They both turned to look at their grandparents.

"I am erasing all-everything-I've read about Nick, Ralph and Emma in my head," Valerie said.

"Me too," Violet agreed.

Their grandmother smiled with amusement, shaking her head in mock disappointment. "They do not like my fiction, Eddie."

Their grandfather laughed.

The twins rolled their eyes. "Because Gram, you twisted the events."

Fiona Trilby chuckled. "That I did."

"So, again, a recap," Valerie said, counting with her fingers. "Sophia has been taken by Osegod, that devil Town Leader. He does not even care that she is almost blind, does he?" Their grandmother nodded. "Nicholas is devastated and I can only imagine his despair. He does not deserve it. He was so much fun and to have Sophia taken away from him ruined him for good and it is not fair!" Their grandmother nodded again, this time with a solemn look in her eyes. "So now Ralph is in search for Sophia, right? Because it is his job as a Town Guard."

"With the help of Maggie as a League of Founder," added Violet.

"Who must be very distraught, right?"

"She must be blaming herself for what happened to Aurora," Violet supplied.

"Yes, right." Valerie continued counting. "Durley, Sophia's brother, is in Willowfair to distract Osegod while the Sophia Search and Rescue is going on."

"Yes," their grandmother said with a nod.

"And then Alex, our favorite bandit ever, finds a woman dying in the Dark Forest."

"No, she was dying but she really died," Violet corrected. "Or did she live?" she added, hopefully looking at their grandmother. "What happened after that, Gram? What's next?"

Their grandmother shared a look with her husband. Her dark eyes glistened with tears as she composed herself, pulling at the sleeves of her dress. Shifting in her seat, she reached for her teacup and with a slight natural old-age tremor she took a sip, as graceful as always.

The twins shared a look with their grandfather who gave them a wink. Be patient.

They both moistened their lips in anticipation as Fiona Trilby finished her tea. It was almost midnight and they were starting to fear that their grandmother would stop her storytelling. They were going home in twenty-four hours and they wanted to have the rest of the story before going back to their lives thousands of miles away.

"Gram," Violet gently prodded.

Their grandmother sighed. "I truly wished I would never have to retell the events," she said with a sad smile.

Valerie's face fell. "Oh, God, is it that tragic?"

It was their grandfather who shook his head. "I would not say so, but it does open a ton of tragedies."

Violet shrugged. "I don't mind. I just want to know what happened."

The twins continued to look at their grandmother expectantly.

"Very well," the woman said, "Ralph's story starts with the Forest Lady as Alex would later call her..."

"Ohhh! Fa-Faster please." "I can't hear you, baby?" he teased, slowing down his movements while intensifying his entry. I grasped his hips to encourage him to go deeper. "Come on, speed up." "Alright, baby," he said, quickening his pace once more. As he moved with unmatched speed, he continuously kissed my lips. I liked it. I wanted to give him everything. He was the man who made me feel different. I felt like I would be deeply hurt once he left me. So, I would do everything to be the only woman for him. We embraced each other, and I gasped as he exerted his final strength. I took a deep breath and accepted the warm liquid he released within me. We kissed again and smiled at each other. He withdrew from me and lay beside me. He hugged me, and I leaned against his chest, closing my eyes. "Flirt!" I woke up as someone yanked my hair, wincing in pain, especially when it pulled me down onto the bed. "Suzane!" "Damn you all! Damn you, Atreo!" Confused, I wrapped the sheet around my naked body. I looked at the beautiful, sophisticated woman, well-dressed, probably their age or maybe Atreo's sister. "Suzane, please, not here." I glanced at both of them, trying to understand why the woman was crying. The woman looked at me, and I stood up. I was shocked when she slapped me, so I touched my cheeks and looked at her. I saw her tears and anger on her face. "You flirt! You managed to get involved with my husband!" I was almost paralyzed and couldn't breathe after what she said. Husband? Atreo was her husband? I looked at Atreo Ripler Alvarez. The man I thought was single. The man I thought could be mine. "Grace, let me explain." I cried, feeling like I wanted to sink into the ground because of my situation. I was disgusted with myself. I ran out with only the sheet covering my nakedness. I could barely see the way because of my tears blurring my vision. "You are nothing but a mistress, Grace."

A Guide To Courtship: Season 4 "A love not shown is more painful than a love rejected." SHE IS DETERMINED... The town of Wickhurst sees Ysabella Everard as a spoiled, rich young girl. What Ysa believes on the other hand is that she will someday get the man of her dreams and that is no other than the elusive rake William Hayward, the Lord of Wakefield. He also happens to be her brother's friend and the man she had been secretly writing letters to for years as Lady Weis, a letter that started in a foolish wager with a friend. But one problem is at hand: he does not know she is Lady Weis, the woman he has fallen in love with in letters. HE AVOIDS HER AT ALL COST... Wakefield has many rules, but one stands out the most: never dally with a friend's sister or relative, most particularly Ysabella Everard. As the sister of his friend, she is not to be touched at all cost. She has never been on his list from day one and he is quite determined to keep it that way. But years of her obsessive chasing and his desperate attempts to avoid it have not tired the woman at all. She has suitors she ought to focus her attention to and Wakefield cannot understand what she sees in him to waste her precious time over. He cannot be with her for many reasons and one of them was the fact that he was utterly in love, for the first time in his life, with one woman: Lady Weis. THE CHASE BEGINS... Her chase for the man she loves continues. His chase for the identity of the woman he is willing to sacrifice everything for begins. It is merely a matter of time for the truth to be revealed and how they face it has great potential for yet another Wickhurst scandal. Still set in the fictional place of the Town, this fourth book in the Everard Family series follows one heroine who is determined to win her game and her love for the man who might very well be her first ever failure.
