Chapter: The FootageLucille’s POV“Martin…” I stood up from the couch where I was sitting in the footage while I watched Martin and Vanessa with horror in my eyes. Why were they holding hands? These two people who had never met each other were suddenly acting all lovely.“What are you saying? Divorce? How?” My voice raised a notch higher and I was slowly getting piped and angry. I was just a young wife at the time who didn't even know how to navigate the situation.And before I knew it, I went ahead to separate Martin and Vanessa, with so much force. However, at that moment, Martin caught hold of my hand and threw me backward, my back banging on the couch. Pain! That was what I felt, both physically and emotionally, both in the footage and in the present time. I took it then, but not now. “Are you out of your fucking mind?” I yelled out, drawing Kent’s and Martin's attention from the video and they looked at me, blankly. “Did you both bring me here to show me that? Do you want me to relive my pain–”

Chapter: AnswersLucille’s POVI froze, my heart stopping for a moment as I felt Kent’s lips on mine. The scent of mint and pine wood flowed into my nose and I felt invigorated by him. It was sudden. I never expected it and in just seconds, it was over and I watched him pull away, with a nervous look on his face.I had always seen Kent as an impatient, bubbly, and impulsive man but at this moment, he was someone else. However, that didn't stop the anger that arose in my heart due to his actions.“You–”“Shush…” He quickly put his finger on my lips, stopping me from speaking. But I didn't let him shut me up, I slapped his finger off my lips and glared at him, my eyes shooting venom. “How dare you!” I yelled, my fists clenching. “You may want to help me but it doesn't mean you can do whatever you want to me. You are just–”“I'm sorry.” He cut me off, his expression turning meek and docile. “What?” I frowned, with a scoff. “You are sorry? Is the kiss an accident? Are you trying to feign innocence?”“No

Chapter: Like An OutcastLucille’s POVThe next morning…I woke up, feeling hopeful for the day but one thing I wanted to do was to see my father. I had to talk to him one last time before I finally decided to see Kent and Martin. After Martin ended the call last night, I vowed not to take up their offer. I decided I was going to speak to my father first. We could deal with Vanessa together. I got out, dressed for the day and I went straight to the dining area where he was supposed to be with Lucas. I took a deep breath, to steady myself. The sad emotions from last night were still inside me but I did well to suppress them. I got into the dining area, expecting to see them but then I frowned. “Miss, you are up…” A servant perked up as soon as she saw me. She was setting the table but then, it was obviously for one person. “Quick, come eat…” She gestured at me but I frowned even harder. “Where is father and Lucas?” I asked. “They are out.” She said, looking all around cluelessly. “Didn't they tell you?”

Chapter: Not AcceptedLucille’s POV“What are you doing?” Lucas repeated as my body whirled to look at him. I gasped in shock and quickly gathered the papers together and sat on them. He frowned, looking straight at the stack of papers and I knew he was already suspicious but it made me sit my bottom even harder on the papers. “What are you doing here?” I asked, with raised brows. “Why didn't you knock?”“Do I have to knock before coming into your room?” Lucas frowned, his suspicious gaze deepening. “Yes, of course. It’s my room.” I nodded immediately. I didn't find it an issue before now but then there would be times I would need some privacy, just like now. But he was intruding. “Alright.” He didn't argue but his eyes didn't leave the papers. “What are those? Who gave you those?”“These…” I pointed at the papers beneath me. “They belong to me.”“Where did you get them?” He asked. “I had them. No one gave them to me.” I frowned, feeling very uneasy. I just wanted him to leave so I could concentrate.

Chapter: This Cannot BeLucille’s POV I went quiet at that question, feeling deflated that my father and brother would think such of me. I closed my eyes, to take a deep breath and then opened them again. “Dad…” I let out, my voice was a bit shaky. “Why would you think such?” I asked, feeling hurt. “I..” He stuttered over the phone. “I understand that you must feel hurt because you weren't named today.” I sighed at that, even though it was indeed hurtful and I was mocked for it by Vanessa, I knew they were trying to protect me. Also, that wasn't my main agenda. “I didn't come back to the family because of the fame or status, I want revenge on Vanessa and it seems that is not your priority anymore,” I said, my heart still with resolve. Since I won’t be part of the family business, I need to be on guard and active in bringing Vanessa to book. At the other end, he had gone silent and I could only hear his heavy breathing. “You are a powerful billionaire, why are you relenting? Don’t you wan

Chapter: A Set Of DocumentsLucille’s POVI went quiet, the instant Kent mentioned my brother and I didn't know what next to say. Yes, it was Lucas who had told me they were responsible for what happened back at the hotel and not Vanessa. I would naturally believe my brother over them who had also betrayed me in the past. “Answer me, Lucille!” Kent sharply brought me out of my thoughts and I looked back at him with the same intense expression he had. “Why are you asking?” I raised a brow at him. “I'm asking because there is no way you would say we are responsible after we saved you. There is only one plausible cause, and that is your brother.” Kent reiterated every single word. At his words, I chuckled, shaking my head in disbelief while I folded my arms. Though it was indeed Lucas who had given me that information, I needed to know why Kent would point accusing fingers at him without thinking twice. “Why do you speak of my brother that way? He didn't even tell me–”“No, he did.” Kent cut me off like he wa

"Why are you kissing me?" I demanded, my hand reaching to wipe my lips.
"Jessica..." He called me by that name again.
"Can you stop calling me that? I am not Jessica." I corrected him, exasperated. "My name is—"

Chapter: The TwinsLillian's POV.A month later. “How many times are you going to watch that?” Alexander laughed, sitting beside me. “As many times as possible,” I replied, bursting into laughter. I was watching a video of Jessica and her mother confessing everything they had done before disappearing. That was what they had to do, so Alexander wouldn't press charges against them. They knew they had no chance against especially since, Dad, as I called him now, wouldn't be able to help them. Dad had divorced Gianna, and left her with nothing, while he just left a bit of money for Jessica and disowned her. Since he found out that I was his real daughter, he had been more than sweet to me and our relationship had gotten so much better with time. Meanwhile Mrs. McQueen, though kept at arms length, has been so supportive through this pregnancy. She would call me sometimes and give me some tips on how to eat right and stay healthy. Her husband was also remorseful about his harsh judgment but was too bu

Chapter: DefeatedAuthor's POV. Days later, Jessica went to the same hospital that she had been going to for her check up. As she stepped into the building, she touched her face and winced a little in pain. “Fuck,” She cursed. She walked over to an office and slipped in without knocking. In a few hours, she slipped out as if nothing had happened. She touched her face again and there was no pain anymore. This discovery made a smile appear on her lips. As she headed to the parking lot, she pulled out her phone to call her mother. “Hello?” Sha muttered as her mother answered. “How was it?” Her mother asked. “Ma, everything went well,” Jessica smiled, getting into her car. “Are you sure? Is there any pain left? Do you want to go abroad again?’ Mrs Sinclair inquired, her voice tinged with worry.“Ma, I'm trying to get Alexander back and returning to Singapore isn't something I want to do. Why do you give the worse ideas?” Jessica gritted, closing her car door and turning on the engine. “I just gave

Chapter: A PlanAuthor's POV. Lillian lifted her head from the sink and looked, really looked at Mrs McQueen. She could not understand how a loving gentleman like Alexander had been born by such a bitter mother."What? Why are you staring at me like that?" Mrs McQueen snarled, hands perched on her waist. "I don't know if you know this but Alexander really loves you. He respects you too as his mother but I don't think you love or respect anyone but yourself. You are trying to ruin his happiness with your own hands," Lillian said. "What happiness? Do you think life with someone like you is happiness? Alexander will be miserable if he gets married to you and he will regret choosing you over me," Mrs McQueen accused. Lillian leaned against the wall, suddenly realizing what the matter was all along."You are jealous. That's it, right? You don't even care about Jessica, not really. You are jealous of how much Alexander loves me and you get afraid everytime he considers my feelings before your own." Lil

Chapter: Abortion Lillian's POV. "Baby, you are glowing," Alexander pointed out breathlessly, bending his head to run his tongue across my chest. He licked the chocolate stain, licking his way to a nipple and curled his tongue around it.My hands went high above my head, and he tossed the empty chocolate wrapper behind him, holding my hands in place. I arched my back, moaning when he sucked on me lavishly."Alex. . .the bed. . .I can't. . ." Even with him holding me up, my knees were beginning to shake. "I got you," he whispered, his hot breath sending chills all over me. He started walking backwards with me attached to him, scattering kisses all over my neck.When he got to the bed, he sat on it, lifting me and placed me across his hips. He didn't break concentration, continuing to tease me while dragging the rest of the teddy down to my waist."My baby is going to have a baby," he said, drawing the leftover chocolate on my chest down to my stomach. "When I think of your belly round with my baby,

Chapter: Just ChocolatesLillian's POV. In the taxi, I was still thinking about my near encounter with Jessica. She wouldn't know why I was in the hospital but I didn't want her suspecting anything. Too much was at stake for me to be careless."We are here, Miss," the driver informed me and I alighted his taxi after paying him on the app. I sent a text to Alexander to let him know I was home and stretched out on the couch in the living room. Doctor Malcolm said stretching was good for me anyways. He also told me to exercise more and eat more healthy.Alexander called instead of texting back and I was already smiling even before I heard his voice."Hello, darling. How did your appointment go?""It was okay. You really didn't have to call, Alex. I know you are very busy." Yet I was smiling so hard my cheeks were hurting."Don't say that. I can never too busy for my freckles. Have you had something to eat? If not, you can ask the chef to make you something."I glanced at the meal plan chart Doctor Malcolm had

Chapter: Happiness At LastLillian's POV. Doctor Malcolm was explaining all the things I had to start doing as am expectant mother when Alexander came into the room. He had been excited when he left the room before but now, he wasn't."Why was the lawyer calling, Alex?" I inquired. He suddenly remembered he was not alone in the room, forcing himself to smile. But I knew him well enough to know that it was not a real smile."It's good news actually but I'll tell you in the car. Let's finish up with Doctor Malcolm first," Alexander replied, keeping me in suspense. "Okay. Sit down then." I still kept my eyes on him, unable to relax when I knew he was hiding something from me."So, Doctor, how soon can she get registered for antenatal classes?" Alex asked and the good doctor laughed at his eagerness."You both just found out that you are expecting a child. Don't be in a hurry to get her registered for anything, Mr McQueen. For today, just go home and have a talk with each other, celebrate. . . you do want this c

Chapter: Luna For A YearPearl’s POVI shifted my gaze back to Alexander, who flashed a gentle smile at me. "You did really well," Alexander complimented, stepping forward and extending his hand."Thank you, Alex," I whispered, smiling back.I placed my hand into his, and shakily stood up. For the first time, I felt a bit embarrassed about my nakedness."Hey, are you a maid? Get her clothes," He ordered, snapping his fingers at Hazel.I glanced at Hazel, and her face paled at his command."What?" She gasped."I said, get her clothes," He repeated, pointing at them.Hazel shot a pleading glance at Carlson, but he couldn't even defend her at that moment. It was oddly satisfying to see them so powerless.Without a choice, She went to get my clothes.My lips curled into a smile as I returned my gaze to Alexander."I haven't seen you since our college days," He said, studying me with those intense sapphire-blue eyes. "You've grown more beautiful over the years.""You two know each other?" Carlson said, his voice

Chapter: Alpha AlexanderPearl’s POV"What?" He gasped in surprise."I won't endure any more of this pain and embarrassment. I have had enough. My wolf is tired of the constant rejections from you. Just make it official already.""You don't know what you're asking. You're just emotional now and can't make good decisions—""This is a right decision. I don't want to be with you anymore. Just reject and divorce me." I demanded. "I am also taking my possession, my Moon Pearl with me." His eyes filled with terror at my words. "No, I can't let you take it!" He refused. "That pearl stays with me!"He was so concerned about the pearl because it had saved his pack. Before I met Carlson, I had a Moon Pearl that sucked in bad energy. It was a gem passed down from my ancestors, a crucial part of me. Without that Pearl, I would never be able to survive, my wolf was already useless without it. If I stayed too long away from it, it would be a disaster. When Carlson and I became mates, I discovered that a curse had been p

Chapter: Reject MePearl’s POVEverything felt so warm, yet discomforting. The darkness I was pulled into slowly began to dissipate. My heavy eyelids fluttered open, revealing a blurry figure beside me. "Uh..." I groaned, the exhaustion weighing down on my entire body."Luna, you're awake."I turned toward the voice, blinking to clear my vision. It was my maid, Elsa. "How do you feel, Luna?" She inquired, her voice laced with concern.I wanted to ask how I ended up here, but then I recalled fainting from the mate burn. Carlson and I had been mated and married for three years. In that time, I did all I could do to please him, acting as the perfect Luna, so he could look at me with love.I even went as far as giving him an important possession I received from my dead parents just to save his Pack which in turn caused my wolf to become useless. I could never try to shift in public because I would be ridiculed. But all that was for nothing. I was cast aside like a trash can. I was so lost in thought but

Beads of sweat dripped down my body, soaking the sheets."It hurts," I mumbled, clutching my stomach and rolling onto my side.But it wasn't just physical pain. My entire body felt like it was on fire. Lyra, my wolf, was hurting too like she was being torn apart. There was only one reason why this could be happening and it was my mate's infidelity."Carlson," I groaned through my clenched teeth. "What are you doing?"A sharp pain shot through me, forcing a gasp from my lips."Oh moon goddess, " I whimpered as the agony became unbearable.How could my husband be doing this? Where was he?The thoughts disturbed my mind, pushing me to move despite the pain. I slipped out of bed, gripping the edges for support.
