Chapter: 139. TabithaTabitha:I stood at the window overlooking the city. The reporters had gone… or that is what they wanted us to think. Every now and then, I would see a lady or a man at a restaurant across the street, anxiously looking at their phone or watch, as well as the entrance to the company. My lips turned down at the corners. They hadn’t dispersed. The hungry ones were still hanging around, waiting to pounce on Enzo and me as soon as we walked out of that door during closing hours. I tried not to think about it, but it was hard. This morning was a nightmare, and it was hard not to worry about how nightmarish it could be once we were done with work. My head snapped around at the sound of knocking on my door. “Come in,” I said exasperatedly. “After the encounter with Stephen from finance. I had grown more weary with those who came into my office. A few times during the day, I could have sworn I heard whispering or scratching just outside my door, like there were people pressed against the wo

Chapter: 138. TabithaTabitha:I was absolutely wrong. Today was exactly what I had seen in my nightmares. Maybe even worse. We were barely at the office when we were surrounded by reporters. I could even swear that some of them had been camping outside the building, waiting for like crazed Black Friday goers. It was scary. The car was soundproof with tinted windows, but seeing people bang on the glass and press their faces against it made my heart skip every time. Enzo shifted uncomfortably next to me, and his face hardened. He was already regretting this idea. If things weren't so tense right now, I'd have gloated. Another male reporter pressed his face against the glass. I gasped and fell back against Enzo. The reporter's mouth was moving aggressively; his eyes stared straight ahead. I knew he couldn't see me, but it didn't make the stare any less unsettling. "Enzo?" I tugged his sleeve and felt his hand move to his pocket. "Someone should get security done here now," he snapped on the phone. I

Chapter: 136. TabithaTabitha:My eyes were heavy when I dragged myself out of bed. I groaned and looked out of the window. The sun had barely come up over the horizon. I sighed and buried my head in my hands, unsure of whether to be angry, upset, scared or all of the above. I didn’t think that Enzo would go along with Natasha’s suggestion. I hated that woman with every fibre in me: her burgundy smile, her dark, stupid hair, her uppity attitude, but even I had to admit that she was right. I couldn’t run away from this forever. The sooner I got into public, the better. I was much younger than her, but even I knew the way the social media world works. It’s not like Enzo was the first person to get into a scandal like this. Many celebrities and stars get dirt on them, but it all fades in a few weeks. Enzo and I did nothing wrong. We aren’t related, and I am certainly not a minor. The bead creaked as I flopped back down on the mattress, a loud sigh escaping my lips. It all seemed so easy to understand, to

Chapter: 135. EnzoEnzo:This isn’t funny, Natasha.”My hands raked my hair as I paced back and forth in the living room. Natash was smiling, watching me with bright eyes. She said she was here to help, not here to get a laugh out of this.Three more minutes and she was still smiling, still watching me, enjoying my restlessness. I stopped dead in front of her. “If you aren’t here to help, then leave,” I said firmly.“Can you just calm down?” she chuckled. “Can’t a girl be amused? I am here to help, but you have to admit that this is a hilarious situation that you got yourself into.”She stood up, and her heels clicked lightly on the marble floor. “I mean, I want to help you clear your name and all, but it’s going to be hard. The media is eating this story up like hot apple pie. Mr. Enzo Ross, the hottest, eligible bachelor billionaire, controlled, composed, content, disciplined, falling head over heels for his ward.” She chuckled and took a step closer; her breath was warm on my face. “Just saying it

Chapter: Chapter 134Tabitha:It was hard. My phone was sitting on the bedside table, screen black, quiet. I lay on the bed, trying not to fidget. I had had breakfast, but I had picked at my food. It lay on the bedside table next to my phone. Enzo had encouraged me to turn it off so that I could relax and catch a break from all the beeping, but I was far from relaxed. I couldn’t stop thinking about it, about the calls, the hate comments that were all over my social media page, the backlash that Enzo was probably getting. He confessed that he loved me. “If only love could fix this mess that I was in,” I sighed, putting my pillow on my face, hoping that the fluff could block out the world and all the noise that was going on in my head.If only there were something that I could do. If only there were a way that I could help. Things didn’t have to go this way. Things didn’t have to be all out there and messy in public. For hours, I ruminated on what I could do or could have done to prevent all this: bette

Chapter: 133.EnzoEnzo:I ate breakfast in my study. I needed the space. I needed to think. Alone. I had already called every social media site to have the video removed—but not before I downloaded the video and took enough screenshots of the page and handle—and I will of course be suing. Mark was already on the case. The legal cases alone this year… I rubbed my temple and sighed. He was going to get a fat paycheck from all this.My laptop was open in front of me and I looked at the account that had posted the video—@XposureTherapy019. A mocking play on words. And just as I had suspected, this was the only video in the account, meaning that the account had probably been created recently and for this specific purpose only.I opened my email and sent a message to my IT guy. “I need you to trace the IP address for this account. I need results in the next three hours.”I hit send and leaned back into my chair. Getting involved with Tabitha was going to have its consequences. I knew that from the first day

His Ex Lover
"Vaxel Jericho, do you take Clarissa Vicente to be your lawfully wedded wife, to live together in matrimony?" The priest asked.
He bends to her ear, his face showing nothing but hate.
"I vow to live together in hate, making you spend the rest of your life in agony and pain, and making you pay for the sins of your mother" he whispered to her ear.
"To love her, to comfort her, to honor her and to cherish her?"
"To hate you, punish you, to break you and get you fucked up"
"In good health and in sickness, forsaking all others, until death do you part”? The priest asked.
"In depression and in sickness, through tears and even at death we part not" his vows whisper to the ears of his bride.
Fear written all over her face, she let the tear drop.
This was just the beginning.
~~~
The war between both families, Vicente's and Jericho's, had started years before the heir's were born.
Both families would never be seen in the same place at the same time, the mere mention of the name was a problem and caused a rise of anger.
But something crazy happens and the heir and heiress of both families fall in love, as they say love happens.
Falling in love was a crime and when both families find out about the little love affair between Vaxel and Clarissa the two are separated.
Five years later, an accident occurs in Vaxel's welcome party, an accident that forces him to do the forbidden thing. He forcefully marries Clarissa in order to make her pay for the sin she never committed. The sins of her mother.

Chapter: Lost and not found."Sure, I was in the party hall having some chats and drinks when I felt uneasy , I told my husband I was going to use the restroom, since I barely knew a thing. I asked a girl who served drinks where I could use the restroom and she directed me. I walked up to the restroom, when I was done and about getting to the door, the lights in the restroom began flickering. The door was pushed open and someone got in, I really can't remember what happened. I just woke up beside my husband this morning." She explained. "You mean, you didn't see anything else?" "Yes." "How did you faint?" He asked. "I don't know, the only thing I noticed was that I felt the door was opened, not felt, I heard the door crack open but no one walked. If someone did I should have heard but I didn't the next I felt something sting me and that was it." Sje explained. "I'll get to ask you some other questions very soon ma'am your case is quite complicated and we have to get to an end soon. " "Okay."She nodded. ~~~~

And his father's house was almost burnt to ashes.He let the tears roll down his eyes, he didn't even get to spend some more time with her. She was gone and would never come back.He had heard about Clarissa's mother's accident; she was also hospitalized too. Was this some sort of welcoming game, what was happening?This question filled his head."Mr Jericho. I am inspector H. Damien. And I've been assigned to investigate the death of your grandmother."Vaxel took his head up when he heard the voice of the inspector."I and my team will interrogate each and every family which attended your welcome party starting from you." Fredrick nodded.Vaxel stood from the ground "We promise to render all support and help, we will tell you all you need to know and in return help us get justice for the murder of my grandma!"

Chapter: Do you have feelings for him?Louisa sat on the fountain with Jason, she ate from the bowl of noodles while having a conversation with Jason. He'd forced her to eat something, even if it was a little amount of food. With a chopstick, she took the noodle in her mouth."Where did you learn to cook such noodles? " She asked him, Jason smiled at her, she thought he lied when he said he knew how to cook."I just learnt it. I guess I have this thing for food, I learn new recipes anytime I cook.""That's nice but it's so bad I really don't know how to cook. I guess the only thing I can do properly is heat food in the microwave.""Woah! You have a long way to go.""Will you be my tutor?" She asked."Well! You'll have to pay a fee.""Of course, how much?"

Chapter: The beginning of the end Clarissa ran down the lobby with her father following behind her."Mom!" She pushed doors, looked into rooms, when she didn't see her mother anywhere in the room, she went to the next door. "Mom!" She kept yelling. She pushed the last door open to see her mother lying on the floor with a knife in her hand. "Mom! Dad, come here! Help, someone! " She yelled, tapping her mother. Her eyes opened slowly as she realised slight grunts. Clarissa realised a light huff at least her mother was okay. With the help of her father, she took her mother out to the ambulance. The moment they took her mother, she turned to see Vaxel's. He had his head on the figure that laid covered up on the bed, blood stains all over his body. "Grandma, please come back. You cannot leave me like this, you're leaving just like everyone is. You're not dead, I refuse to believe this." He hadn't even spent a whole day with his grandmother now she was dead.

The clouds felt brighter, the air felt fresher. Everything seemed perfect. It was stunning. I loved it.“Mom!”The door slammed open and my kids rushed in and jumped into my arms. I hugged them all, sniffing the tears back.“Mom, you aren’t even ready yet,” Elsa frowned, tugging hair. b”You haven’t even brushed your hair yet.”I chuckled and pulled her onto my lap.“I will get it all done, but I won't be able to do that with you three running all over me.”Ethan puffed up his chest and became the big brother.“Come on. Mom needs to get ready.”He pushed his unwilling sisters to the door and closed the door behind the three of them. I giggled. They were so sweet. I loved them so much.I had a quick shower and sat down at the dressing table. It was a simple wedding. Nothing fancy. I had already been married to him before..

It was… it was white!I stood up. I felt strong again. My wounds were gone, and Hazan and Javier were whimpering in pain, lying near a few rocks. How did they even get there?Huh! The Gem!Lisa was hiding in the undergrowth but it didn't take long before I found her.“No! Please! Don't kill me!"She tried to cover her head and the Gem slipped from her grasp.I turned around. Hazan was down and so was Javier. This was my chance…I shifted into my human form and grabbed it. Its body was cold against my fingers and glowed faintly. I had to find Dante. We had the Gem. We could end the war!As I ran to the battlefield, I heard footsteps behind me. My heart was racing…I wasn't sure how I could carry the Gem in my wolf form. Once I shifted, I would go crazy and attack Hazan.No! I needed to focus. I nee

The men were agitated, both fearful and itching for action.I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. My father had asked me to have faith and love, that I would win.

Now that Javier had escaped and possibly exposed our plans to Hazan, that was when Clarissa and Lorenzo told me that Javier had been pretending to date Clarissa. He offered to go on the date with Clarissa and asked them to keep their mouths shut about it.“We made a few adjustments," Robert said calmly, moving a piece forward. “We have new warriors coming in; they will help us hold the front line, and we will be able to hold them off for a while."“What about Hazan?" Dante asked, avoiding making eye contact with me. “His has the Gem. If he activates it, he will be unstoppable. Our wolves on the front line will be useless. It will be a slaughter."“Put me on the front line," I cut in, my eyes still burning into the paper.The room fell silent and I could feel all eyes on me.“Erica, you can't. You

Chapter: Chapter 4 Ayana: The walk home was incredibly longer than every normal day. This time around, I could feel the sorrow shaking my very being as my crowded head refused to process the shimmering light in the distance until the motorcycle raved past me. " If you want to die, don't let me be the murderer bitch!" The biker shouted as he revved past me, his words enough to jolt me out of my reverie for a minute, but not enough to keep me grounded. I had lost all feelings of communication and care until I stepped into the house and the air felt....wrong. Then her whimpering followed. " Mum?!" I called out as I trashed through the curtains that now laid sprawled on the floor and the broken flower vase as I made my way to the kitchen where my mum was crouched, holding onto Janelle as she sobbed. A small glass shard stuck out of janelle's arm like a sore thumb, the little piece the cause of the whimpering as my mum tried t pull it out again. I did not need to ask what happened. It was as clear a

I wasn't expecting visitors from the pack today but elder Silas was not a mere visitor. I still had memories of him watching me train in wolverine control, eyes glinting with the pride my father's eyes never held. " Alpha, good evening". I did not stare at him immediately. I took a long unhurried sip from my wine glass, the files still fully opened in front of me. " You should have called if you were going to be coming. I would have had them prepare a feast for you".
