Chapter: Let’s start afresh AndrewI didn’t know what to think, whom to suspect…. How did she escape? Who helped her? Who was the insider helping her? So many questions running through my head. It seemed like the security cameras were useless cause for unknown reasons it didn’t capture her escape. I already sent guards to escort Ana to my office for fear of the suspect attacking her again. “Should I send the guards to bring Elder Marcus here?” Adrian asked breaking me away from my thoughts. “No, I won’t disrespect him like that. He has no hand in whatever that has been happening in this palace”. “The suspect called his name after so many torturing, what makes you think she’s lying? He must have a hand in what is happening for her to call his name”.“Except it’s a setup, A setup, so I can divert my attention from the real culprit”.If only he knew my reason, I’m sure he wouldn’t argue with me. I had to keep my research to myself because an insider is involved.“Since you strongly believe it’s a setup, why don

Chapter: Paternity ResultsAnnabelI stood still in shock of who just called me. There was Andrew uncle, staring at me with a look I couldn’t decipher, and it made me uncomfortable. Was he smiling, or my eyes just be deceiving me? “You look surprised to see me, why is that” He said, finally breaking the silence.“Umm… Nothing sir” I replied not sure if I had answered that question correctly. Kate warned me about this man.“Annabel you don’t need to be tense whenever you see me, we are more like family now that my nephew intends crowning you Luna. So I do hope we can get along from now henceforth”. “Sure sir” I replied my brain still digesting the information he just relayed.“I’m leaving now, looking forward to bonding with you, Ana”. He added before walking out.Shock was an understatement of how I was feeling now, First of why the change of character? The first time he saw me his facial looks were murderous, and now he is acting a nice and friendly. And also did he just say Andrew intends to crown me Lun

Chapter: My mate is innocent!AndrewI walked into the mansion alongside uncle Carson. I wondered what would have happened if I didn’t leave the car. Not that I cared, but I just wanted to protect Ana dignity.We arrived at my office in no time and we both sat down.“What did you want to discuss, Uncle?”“Seems like you and that killer has started bonding…”“I mean no disrespect, uncle, but I won’t sit and watch you call my mate a killer. She is very innocent of the very crime you accuse her of”.“This is the second time you’re defending her, what happened? You weren’t like all these years. You wanted to avenge by all means and now you’re courting the offspring of the man who killed your parents brutally”.“Have you forgotten how they died? Your mother was rap…”“Enough! Don’t you ever bring my mother in such topics. What if I tell you Travis isn’t Ana father? It changes everything right?”.I regretted immediately I disclosed that information, but I had to protect Ana from having more enemies.“What are you saying

Chapter: Thank you, Master.Annabel POV We got to the shopping mall, Andrew asked the attendant to give show us her best collections. She brought up to a dozen of designer clothing. I started trying them out, but Andrew wasn’t helping matters, anyone he didn’t like, I didn’t take. “This is too revealing, drop it!” “Too short, Next” “No buttons? Drop it!” “It’s too tight”. And so many other comments and the clothes weren’t as bad as he said, he was just exaggerating things, I wondered if he was shopping for himself. I was already getting frustrated testing the clothes, plus his complains were getting tiring. I foresee us spending more time than intended. We finally settled with three clothes out of the numerous clothes I tried out. Andrew paid, and we entered the car, just when I thought we were heading home, we stopped at another mall. This one was different and it looked classy. Unlike the previous one they sold all feminine stuffs including cosmetics and toiletries. “You can select what y

Chapter: A set-upAndrew We were still on the lookout for the person behind all this, we stayed up all night monitoring the cameras and so far, the perpetrator has not left the palace. “Come and take a look at this, Andrew”. “What’s wrong?” “This particular maid has been acting suspicious, bidding her face from the cameras”. “Wait, that looks like Annabel”. “I thought she was in your room”. “Yes she was, but clearly you can see her head in towards her room, and it’s not safe, I’ll go after her. The person behind this might still be in her room”. “Stay safe, I’ll alert the guards” Adrian said, and I nodded before walking out. I stopped by at my room, I needed to at least hold a weapon In case anything happened. After taking out my gun, I headed towards Anna's room. I opened the door, but it was empty, “Adrian the room is empty” I spoke through my Air Pod. “That’s not possible, I watched Annabel enter the room minutes ago and no one has come out of the room. Someone is in that room, Andrew”.

Chapter: A beautiful beginning Iris's POVI blushed as the events of the previous night replayed in my dreams and I smiled wish before opening my eyes, I took a moment to reflect on the happenings of the previous day and I couldn't believe my luck. Arthur was so passionate and loving, I was finally getting my dream life and my hand roamed freely on the bed in search for Arthur, but I could only feel bed linens, my eyes widened in shock and I sat up almost immediately.“Arthur.”I called out for him thrice but got no response, I stood up and checked the bathroom, but he wasn't there, my heart raced, and I almost burst into tears as it crossed my mind that he might have left me, a million questions flooded my head, didn't he believe me? Was all a dream? Did he deceive me into thinking he accepted me back? Does he not love me anymore? Am I now a burden to him? Has he been kidnapped again, or anything bad happened to him?Still confused about all that was happening, my door burst open to reveal a smiling Anna, I immedi

Chapter: Lovers once againArthur's POV Watching the men fight to death wasn't as interesting as I thought it would, but I seized the opportunity to try to find a way out, my arms ached as they had been tied behind me for a long time and I tried to stretch them, I realized that the rope that were used to tie my hands loosened a bit, this realization was the chance I had to escape, so I began to skillfully yet carefully try to get my hands out of the rope. Seeing that it would take ages before I'd wriggle my hands out of them and by then Knight would have murdered me or found out what I was trying to do, I decided to do it the old-fashioned way. Though it was a painful process, I had no choice, so I dislocated the bones of my thumb and bit my bottom lips in a bit not to yell out in pain, it was successfully dislocated, and I slipped it out of the rope. I tried to conceal my hitching breath and I put the bone back to its normal position and I tried it for the next finger, it was more painful than the first, b

Chapter: DangerIris's POVDays had passed by, and I still couldn't muster enough courage to face Arthur, there are times I'd get up and even go as far and unlocking my door with the aim of going straight to his room and clarifying things to him or even forcefully demand for an explanation, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Most importantly; I was scared and confused at the same time, I wasn't pregnant with Kelvin because I didn't sleep with him and I didn't know how old the baby is so I could confirm my doubts about the paternity.Given the circumstances and happenings around me lately and the better part of my life, things aren't always as they seem, there might be a mix-up somewhere or this might be a set-up but my morning sickness and constant nausea coupled with the fact that I haven't seen my period for months now confirmed that I was pregnant.I finally ate after starving for a few days, but I didn't step my foot out of the room and only allowed the maids to drop it by the doorstep,

Chapter: Partners to enemies Arthur’s POV I watched in awe as a fight now ensued between Sebastian and kelvin, they got verbal, and it was an eyesore, yet I was more than willing to watch them, this provided an opportunity for me to look for a means to escape, but their noises were ear-piercing, so I had to painstakingly listen in a bid to get some information out of them. There was no way I would leave the place easily or in one piece unless I got rid of them first, but that seemed like an impossible task. I decided to worry about them later, as Iris was in danger and no one would be able to save her. Things are even worse as Kelvin, whom I thought loved her, could stoop as low as using her as bait against me, I didn’t regret coming after Iris after knowing his true intentions. Though Iris had been around me long enough to see things were, yet I fear that she was too petite and wasn’t built to go through this sort of hell. We all present in that room had dined with the devil himself and gotten our hands st

Chapter: Choose one Arthur's POV“Now, I might just spare your life if you tell me where the secret treasure is" Kelvin said after a round of punching me wherever his fists landed.I looked up at him and my face broke into a smile.“Is that all you got? What a disappointment”He bent down and gave me an upper to my jaws. My brain rattled around in my skull and I suddenly felt a sharp pain building up in my thoracic region. I knew I wouldn't last much longer, but still, I would rather die than just give out the location of my family heirloom.“We knew you will be a hard nut to crack, and as such, we have prepared various gifts for you.”Kelvin moved to the table and picked up the landline, punched a number and put it to his ear. The phone beeped, then it got picked up on the other side. Kelvin paused and replied.“Bring the toys now, let's watch him play”I knew I just got into bigger trouble, but I was more prepared to die than give out the location.The doors opened and a man with a Russian build came i

Chapter: Why did you do this?Arthur's POVI could see Kelvin, then Sebastian and Knight. No way, I was probably seeing visions. Maybe the guys had tampered with my brain, perhaps I was hallucinating. Kelvin came forward and poured a glass of ice-cold water on me. It chilled to the spine. I was certain I heard footsteps, but they were all here?“Wakey wakey”Sebastian and Knight walked towards the chair where I was strapped with leather belts like a feral animal.“Oh forgive my ungentlemanly attitude, allow me to perform a little introduction here” he said mockingly.“Sebastian, Dad meet Arthur, the prodigal son”The word dad suddenly sounded differently to his ears.“Arthur, meet Sebastian and meet my father; Knight. I've heard you guys have gotten acquainted”.I was shocked, and could feel bitterness at the same time. I felt adrenaline rushing through me, and I could feel anger and disgust boiling in my bloodstream. I literally felt like killing the trio; like tearing them to pieces and feeding them to street do
