Xu xiao, a third-rate Taoist priest, ekes out a living by reading palms and telling fortunes, supporting his three lionhead cats at home. He claims to foresee fate, master feng shui, and banish evil spirits. One day, a strange young man approached his stall.
"Boss, do a fortune reading for me," the young man said.
Xu xiao, without looking up, asked, "What kind?" "Marriage," the young man replied.
Xu xiao grabbed the young man's wrist to read his palm, but the next second, his pupils dilated, and he cursed inwardly.
"Damn it. It's a ghost."
He saw ghosts everywhere-floating in the sky, crawling on the ground, and hanging from bridges.
Before he could figure it out, the young man said, "By the way, boss, I have an evil ghost at home. Can you get rid of it?"
Xu xiao hesitated. This guy was definitely suspicious.
But then a text alert showed a large deposit received.
With a determined look, Xu xiao said, "Bro, if I can't catch it, I'll compensate you with myself."
The vision ability given by the strange young man enabled Xu xiao to make a fortune in exorcising evil spirits. But Xu xiao never found that ghost in the young man's home.
Until one day, during a mission, he was in danger. The young man tore apart the evil ghost that nearly bit his head off with his bare hands and pinned him in the corner of an ancient temple surrounded by hundreds of evil spirits, his hands bloody.
The young man's tone was more horrifying than the evil spirits outside:
"Can't catch the ghost? Then when will you compensate me with yourself?"
-He was doomed.
Xu xiao closed his eyes in despair.
Now he knew-the young man was the evil ghost.
And this evil ghost had targeted him from the beginning.
Will she ever forgive them for abandoning her?
Will they ever be able to unveil her secrets?
Where was she for all those years?
This is story of a girl who was abandoned by her brothers when she was seven. Now, after 9 years, her brothers brought her back home. How will she deal with them, simultaneously dealing with the terrors that haunt her every night?
Sneak Peak-
Once we were out, I stopped and turned to face my blood relatives and said, "Okay, now that I am out you don't need to act anymore. Now, you guys can go back to your house and pretend that this never happened. I will go to my house and will make sure that we will not cross each other's path, even by accident."
I was about to turn back when Ezekiel held my elbow, stopping me on my track. I immediately snatched my hand back glaring at him and said,
"Do not ever touch me again." His eyes showed an emotion of hurt that I am sure I read incorrectly because one thing that Kensington brothers are incapable of was getting hurt by any outsider. And that was what I was. An outsider.
Sensing the tension in the atmosphere Aldric took it upon himself to say whatever his brother was about to.
"You are going with us." He spoke.
One thing about Aldric Kensington was that once he has made his mind, there is nothing in this world that can change his decision. This is the very quality of his that made my life a living nightmare, and this is exactly why I hate him more than any of my brothers.
"Let's go Athaliah," Ezekiel said this time.
That name. No one has called me by that name in six years. "My name is Zahra," I corrected and continued, "And I am not going with you."
