Chapter: EpilogueOnce in Drew’s villa, their story of soul bonding begins. Clarissa got out of the dinner gown she wore for the reception and soaked herself in a hot tub.Meanwhile, Drew left for the other room to take his shower.Not long after, Drew came in with a bottle of fruit wine, while Clarissa sat at the dressing table to fix her hair. “Mrs. Walker Drew Clarissa, congratulations on becoming the wife of Mr. Walker Sylvester Drew,” he said, and she giggled.He poured the wine into a glass and handed it over to her.“Congratulations to us, hubby,” she said, and she gulped down her fruit wine before she could say another word. Drew bent down, and she closed her eyes, expecting the man’s kiss, but unfortunately, the kiss didn’t come as the man reached out his hand and carried her in a bridal style off the dressing table stool.“Huff”She gasped, as she wasn't expecting to be picked up.“Wiffy, what are you scared of?”Hearing that syllable from Drew makes Clarissa’s joy double, and she smiles in e

Chapter: Wedding“Warren, merry Christmas! My wife gave birth to a mini-me, and for that, I want to give the whole world a gift enough for them to use to celebrate Christmas. Make an announcement on the company's official website that THE WEDDING OF PRESIDENT WALKER SYLVESTER DREW AND CLARISSA REBECCA WILL TAKE PLACE IN THREE MONTHS TIME," Drew said."Congratulations, young master. I will be there with Linda to see the baby," Warren said with his voice laced with joy."Everybody is seeing the baby; even those ones inside put all their minds, bodies, and souls into taking care of the baby, and Clarissa left me to take care of myself. Nobody asked if I was fine or not. It's interesting now that my family members see me as an outdated man. Thank God Gratia is not here to witness this," Drew thought before going back to the room to break the news of his wedding date to the people who stood by the cradle, watching the newborn with interest."Clarissa, by the time you wake up and see the news tomorrow, how

Chapter: Arrival of the Baby!It was two days after the engagement and two days until Christmas, and it was supposed to be Clarissa’s due date.Clarissa was sitting on the Swiss ball (birthing ball) while carrying out her simple exercises.“Is the baby coming out yet?” Drew asked Clarissa, who had lost count of how many times the man would ask her if the baby was coming yet. Not receiving a reply from Clarissa, Drew took his phone to call the doctor.“It's my wife's due date. Why is the baby not coming out yet?” The doctor chuckled at the other end.“President Drew, every pregnancy is different. The due date is only a rough estimate of when your baby is likely to be born, and, besides, only four percent of women give birth on their due date. You have nothing to worry about, sir. But if you are still not satisfied with my explanation, you can bring Madam to the hospital for a pelvic examination," the doctor explained briefly to the man, who was worried and at the same time eager to meet his child. Rebecca and Aunt

Chapter: Engagement!Looking at Linda, who had a frown on her face with the attitude that if you didn’t buy this gown, this is where I would stay, Clarissa felt a headache coming up. “Linda, stop throwing tantrums; you are no longer a baby." Clarissa scolded Linda gently, but the latter refused to bulge. Instead, she looked offended.“Fine, I will buy the gown.” Clarissa finally agreed, and Linda smiled sweetly at her.“Bring the dress and let me see if it will look nice on me," Clarissa said, and Linda winked at the shop assistant, and they quickly took down the dress. She went inside the dressing room, and a shop assistant changed into the dress for Linda to see. The dress was perfect for her, as it was as if they had custom-made it for her.“Wow, beautiful," Linda commented, and she suggested Clarissa have her make-up done to see how beautiful she would look in her new hairstyle and new dress. Clarissa agreed without making a fuss.“I will just give in to whatever she says so we can go home," Clarissa

Chapter: Engagement PartyClarissa’s due date is approaching. The nursery had already been set up by Drew. He had even made it a habit to visit the nursery every time he’s around to check if there was anything missing.After lunch, Gratia and Clarissa decided to take a walk in the garden.“Aunt, can you please call the old man to get me an ice cream?”, Gratia said, and Clarissa looked at her with a doting smile.“Gratia, stop calling him an old man. He’s your nephew, okay?" Clarissa said.“Yes, Aunty,” she replied.Clarissa touched Gratia's hair. “Good girl”Suddenly, she felt someone staring at her from behind. So she turned her head and saw Drew standing behind her, looking at her with an intense gaze.“Hubby, when did you get here? Were you not supposed to be at the company?”“For as long as you and Gratia have been gossiping about me," Drew came over to her and said.What an embarrassment to be caught red-handed by the person you’ve been talking about with someone.“Hubby, we were just discussing how hand

Chapter: Family Secrets!She kept quiet, not knowing how to continue. Even though she had rehearsed it in her mind for a long time, she still could not bring herself to say it. The sitting room was silent. No one said a word. Everyone was left with their own analysis.Rebecca was only aware Aunt Felicia/Imelda was Walker, but she didn’t know of any other thing.Clarissa already knew Aunt Felicia was either an elder sister to Sylvester or a younger sister. She had always looked at Aunt Felicia closely, and so did Gratia, who had a close resemblance to Sylvester.“Your mother was shot by a stray bullet, and that was the reason why she couldn’t survive on the operating table,” Aunt Felicia blurted out after gathering her courage together. Drew just stood quietly, staring a dagger at Aunt Felicia.“The reason she died was because of me. If I had protected her well and got her to the hospital on time, she would still be alive today, but I couldn’t get her to the hospital on time.”Aunt Felicia closed her eyes mome

Chapter: Unsolicited Compliment.After driving for a while, Ellison stopped at a remote store.“Look around. "If you can’t find your favorite mug here, we’ll go to another store.” Then Eloise sat down in a recliner.Ellison pretended to concentrate on choosing a cup, but he kept glancing at Eloise, unable to stop himself. She looked so relaxed, almost untouchable, yet that sarcastic edge in her voice lingered in his mind.“Do you like something?” Eloise noticed Ellison looking at her, raising an eyebrow as her lips curled into a half-smile.“Yes,” Ellison pointed and said, “I want this game.” His voice was a little too quick, a little too loud, clearly a deflection. But it made her snort.After leaving the store, Ellison discovered that the red marks on the back of his hand had disappeared. He rubbed that area vigorously with his back to Eloise. He looked at the bruise and felt much more satisfied, as if something had been lifted off of him.Eloise walked ahead. She asked, “What kind of recliner do you want?”“I thin

Chapter: Dig Up The Past.Eric copied the video clips from the USB drive to his laptop. Just as Eric was about to open it, Jacob touched the back of Eric's hand and gave him a warning."It might be hard to see, so be prepared," Jacob said, his voice low and grim, a shadow clouding his face.Eric didn’t take it seriously at first. His lips curled slightly in mild skepticism. But then, his eyes widened. He jerked back, his mouth falling open as the first frame of the video flashed across the screen.“What the hell!” he exclaimed, his voice shaking with disbelief.He pointed to the video that was playing, unable to tear his eyes away from the disturbing scene unfolding.“This is just the beginning,” Jacob said nonchalantly, almost too casually, as if he had already grown numb from seeing it over and over again. But there was a bitterness to his tone, a fury buried deep beneath his calm.Eric fell silent. The room seemed consumed by silence, thick and suffocating like a dense fog. Time passed slowly, agonizingly s

Chapter: More Truth!Eloise mocked herself in her heart. Maybe my life has become too simple… so my mind has become slower. Maybe I’ve become numb. Maybe too much silence turns even the sharpest mind dull.Ellison looked at Eloise's faded face with a kind of quiet appreciation, his eyes tracing the faint outlines of what was once a bright, wild smile from a distant childhood memory. His gaze lingered, as if hoping to pull her past self into the present. But the longer he looked, the more his eyes flickered with regret. It was as though the smiling Eloise, the girl full of spark and mischief, had been buried beneath years of pain and dust. And now, she was gone.What did they do to you…? What kind of monster do you have to become to survive what you went through? Ellison’s chest tightened with an emotion he couldn’t name. He wanted to blame Ainsley, he wanted to blame the system. But the truth was, he had his chances. He could’ve helped her back then. But he didn’t.“The coffee tastes superb,” Ellison said

Chapter: The Illegitimate Son.Kelly nodded firmly, already setting the wheels in motion to organize the private plane. He left the study, leaving Ellison alone with his thoughts, the stillness of the room accentuating the cold air creeping through the darkened space.Ellison’s eyes gleamed with a strange mixture of excitement and determination as he stared out into the shadows. His fingers drummed absently against the desk as his mind raced. The game was far from over. He had been tracking Eloise for months, and now, finally, he was closer than ever.Shortly after, the sound of an SUV’s engine hummed in the air as it sped down the winding road of Waikiki Beach. The breeze outside the window carried a hint of salty air, the smell of the ocean mixing with the scent of the flowers blooming nearby.The car came to a gradual halt as Ellison frowned, surveying the area. “This place, right?” he asked, his voice tinged with uncertainty as he glanced out the window.The driver nodded, replying calmly, “Yes, sir, this is it

Chapter: Social Media!“Ainsley, have you lost your pride and confidence? The Ainsley I know will always be determined and make everyone proud. I don’t know this damn drunk. If you want, I’ll ask Jacob to buy you a plane ticket right now. You can go wherever you want. What if the Moon Goddess allows you to meet again? Maybe fate isn’t done with you two yet. "There might still be hope.” Eric couldn’t watch Ainsley ruin himself. He roared, hoping Ainsley might cheer up again.“No, she won’t see me again.” Dejected, Ainsley stared at his palm. He murmured, “She ran away. She hates me. I know it deep down in my gut. I felt it when she left.”Ainsley picked up a bottle of wine from the floor and held it up. He took the bottle to his mouth, only to discover there wasn't a single drop of liquor inside.Ainsley kept tilting the wine bottle with a blank expression. He was completely drunk.Eric looked down at Ainsley and couldn't hide the pain in his eyes.Eric's eyes fell on Ainsley's palm. He thought, 'Eloise, you

Chapter: Shattered Wolf!At the same time, at the Litha Night Walker Pack in Metrocity, Eric suddenly stiffened in place."Eric," Kevin’s voice urgently echoed through the mind link, sharp and rushed."Something’s wrong with Alpha Ainsley. He’s not responding. I think you need to come. Now."Eric’s eyes widened. His chest tightened as panic and disbelief shot through him. "Ainsley? What do you mean he’s not responding. Where is he?" He barked through the link, already yanking his jacket off the hook and heading for the door."The Alpha is in his room. "He locked the door and I smelled alcohol, lots of it." Kevin's tone cracked with unease. "Please come quickly.""On my way," Eric growled and took off, his heart hammering as he shifted mid-run, his paws pounding against the concrete path leading to Ainsley's building.As he approached the Alpha’s chambers, Eric’s breath caught. The hallway was heavy with tension. He could feel it even before he reached the door. And then he saw it.Adrian!The great Alpha’s wo
