"Now you will be my servant, and together we will avenge your family." A cruel smile touched Cyrus' lips. "I don't think so, Zarak."

Once the heir to the throne, now an exiled prince. Tarion Amakiir is the youngest prince of the Amakiir family. He is an outcast in the family because he was born a boy. If he had been born into a normal family, he would have already been sacrificed to Vesper. Tarion's sisters hated him because out of all the Amakiir children, the goddess gave him the gift of magic.

Maryanka told him with a smirk in her voice. - "Do you really consider yourself a worthy heir?"

A lot of time has passed since his escape to the human world, but the number of assassins in his life has not decreased.

If they don’t exist, no problem.” both guys laughed quietly. Ariana gave them both a withering look and the boys quickly pulled a serious face onto their faces.

My name is Caleb Anderson and this is my story. I had it all: family, friends, a good job and a girlfriend who loved me, but I lost it all. I won’t write about my childhood because it’s not the most interesting part. All you need to know about my childhood is that I had a mother, a father and an older brother. My father owns a car wash business. My older brother Dylan... I would have told you sooner how I wanted to be like him, but now I just hate him. I tried my best in school and because of that, I got a scholarship to a prestigious college. There I met two important people in my life. That same Lucian Cross, his father is a powerful and dangerous man. Everyone avoided him, but somehow we became friends because we had a lot of common interests, similar views on life and a thirst for knowledge. The second person was my girlfriend Emma Vance. She was my opposite, but we loved each other. I remember our conversation at Christmas. I brought her home to meet my family. “I can’t believe I put up with you for two years,” she laughed loudly, continuing to throw snowballs at me. We continued throwing snowballs at each other, and then I proposed to her, and she said yes. Six months later, I lost everything. I was given seven years for a crime I didn’t commit. When they read me the sentence, I looked at Dylan and secretly hated him, because he should have been in my place. Two years later, I found out from my ex-fiancée that my father was gone. Then she began to forgive forgiveness. I hated Dylan even more when she told me that they were together now. The only person who stayed with me was Lucian Cross. Thanks to him, I got out three years early. He helped me, gave me a job and a chance to start a new life. *I slammed the diary shut and threw it on the table.* I reread it quite often, remembering my past life. Now I'm a successful businessman and I still hate Dylan. You're Dylan's new girlfriend. Lucian Cross can be found somewhere below.
