opposites of everything. The people that were part of a twin flame soul wanted to help humanity by showing the world that true love existed. Apparently, other twin flame couples who didn’t have that luxury of loving guiding parents as we did, struggled with their relationships.
The men that wanted to stop us had one mission. To make sure the world didn’t become overrun with loving couples that set an example of what true love was. They wanted abuse and dysfunction. They fed off negative thoughts and emotions.
‘What do I do?’
Father cocked his head and put a hand on his chest. ‘Listen to your intuition and always follow your heart.’
That was his advice? He had told me to do that when I was growing up. I didn’t really understand what he meant back then but it seemed that it was time to take him seriously.
‘Is that all you got?’
‘Well, yes. Although, there is one more thing,’ he said, taking my other hand and looking into my eyes.
My intuition instantly told me that I wasn’t going to like what was coming next. My heart burned before the words even left his lips.
‘I’m no longer your father. I’m your guardian.’
Chapter Six
‘What’s your mission?’ Antony asked as we sat waiting for the train.
I had kicked up such a fuss about my freedom that Father had taken away all privileges, including a lift back to London. Letting the others know I was alive was my first job. I also had to tell them that my mission had started and Father was no longer a threat.
I often wondered why our parents had been so vague about what it was we were supposed to be doing. Antony’s question had triggered me. Why had they told us that we had to achieve something but not given us any clues as to what and how? Father’s excuse that we needed to find our own way didn’t cut it with me.
‘It’s none of your business,’ I replied, looking at the people that waited with us.
It was cold but I didn’t take any notice. I was excited about the future, regardless of my clueless state of mind. Would my soulmate be tall and dark like Aries, or blond like Leo?
‘You’re fascinating.’
‘I’m not so sure,’ I said, not able to look away as he leaned in closer to me.
‘I think there’s much more under that arrogant exterior.’
My mouth dropped open as the train pulled into the station. Antony got up and climbed on as soon as it stopped, leaving me on the bench. At the sound of the doors closing, I jumped up and hopped on. I walked straight past the seat he sat in and moved down the carriage. There was a small table with six seats around it so I settled there. It was the middle of the day. I was grateful that the train wasn’t full.
‘I deserved that,’ Antony said as he sat opposite me.
I stared out the window, choosing to ignore him.
‘Excuse me, I can’t help but notice your bracelet.’
The voice belonged to an average sized man with a wicked smile. He sat next to me, causing me to freeze. I glanced at Antony and caught the glare he threw at the stranger.
‘My sister loves anything to do with astrology and it’s her birthday soon. Your bracelet has a little charm on it. She would love something like that. Where did you get it?’
The man was friendly and not bad looking so I smiled back. ‘I’ve had it since I was young. I don’t remember where my parents got it from,’ I replied, offering my arm when he gestured for me to show him. He took my hand and goose bumps sprung up over my skin. I suddenly had the urge to rip my arm away but I didn’t want to be rude.
‘That’s my girlfriend, mate,’ Antony said.
My gaze shot to him as heat flushed over me. His eyes were narrowed on our joined hands. The stranger was stroking my thumb. I pulled away. It didn’t feel right.
‘Sorry, I didn’t realise you were together…you didn’t look it,’ the man said, winking at me.
Antony leant forward and took my other hand. A different type of goose bumps rose up on my arms and I
