JULIAN'S POVI couldn't get anything out of Theodore, and the fact that I had to report that back to Emilia was really poking at my conscience. I wanted, so desperately to get her out of this trouble, but it had become so difficult with just as much amount of effort as I put in. As I sat there watching her silently play with her fingers, I found myself asking that one question I so much despise. “When was all this going to rest? When will she live a normal life and not have to face uncertainty daily?” It wasn’t the question that worried me, it was the reality that I have no answer, whatsoever for it. I have failed to protect her. The promise I have made to her was nothing but a mere lie. “Did you get anything out of Theodore?” She questioned, when the silence between us stretched for too long. I knew she would ask. Heck, she had every right to when it was her life that was at risk. I sighed again, redying myself for the disappointment that was going to be printed all over her face

EMILIA’S POV I stared at the note for what seemed to be like forever, rummaging through my brain while trying really hard to make sense of the situation.When was all this going to end? For how long do I have to continue moving from one crisis to another with no stability in sight? “Are you okay?” the voice of my pr manager pulled me out of my trance. I swallowed hard as I squeezed the paper into my palm before he could have a glimpse. They have sacrificed enough for me. I wouldn’t want to continue dragging them into my chaotic life. “Yeah.” I cleared my throat. “Just thinking about how everything took a turn for the better.” I tried to muster up a genuine smile on my lips but all I could manage was a grimace. He noticed the facade too, but bless his heart, chose not to comment on it. The public is mostly suggesting you press charges on the reporters for emotional distress, will you be doing that?” “What do you think?” I directed the question back at him, folding my hands across m

Emilia’s POVI couldn’t tear my eyes off the television screen. The same clip kept playing over and over again.I was standing close to the podium. I could see my hands shaking very well and my voice breaking even though I had tried so hard to remain strong.Then I saw the moment that would remain evergreen in my head and the news clip showed me running away from the stage with tears streaming down my face.The reporters voice followers immediately that clip showed.“Businesswoman Emilia breaks down during the press conference that held today in regards of her kidnapping”.Then the clip replayed over and over again as the reporter continued talking but I wasn’t listening to her anymore.All I could think about as I watched the replay was another reminder of my dignity being washed down the drain in front of thousands of people who wanted to know what happened to me.I hugged myself tighter and did my best to stay calm even though the tears were already coming.I felt sick in my stomac

Julian’s POV“No, this isn’t right. “What’s going on with him?” I asked loudly as I watched the medics Theodore on a stretcher and was about to wheel him out of the room.“What the hell just happened right now?” I asked, still in a state of disbelief. Nobody bothered to answer me and all I could hear was the wheels of the stretcher scraping loudly on the floor with medical team all surrounding him shouting out different instructions I couldn’t even understand.“Move”. “Go make sure the hallway is clear”. “He’s in cardiac arrest, we’re losing him”, I heard them scream and all I could do was stand there frozen in place watching as they ran around.I couldn’t stand there without moving any longer. I turned and ran after them.“Theodore, just gave me a sign”, I said loudly but he didn’t even twitch and nobody looked in my direction.They were all focused on saving his life. A medic was already starting to administer cpr as we moved down the hallway heading to the emergency room.The med

Julian’s POVMy mind refused to slow down as I drove to the police station. The detective’s words kept repeating inside my head. For weeks we had been searching for answers.Every clue led to another question and even truth seemed to uncover another lie and now he was finally ready to speak.I tightened my grip on the steering wheel. This was the breakthrough we had all been expecting. But something didn’t feel quite right.Why had he suddenly changed his mind? A man who had fought so hard to protect his secrets, he couldn’t just wake up and decide to confess all of a sudden.Something must have changed his mind and frightened him. I just hoped it wasn’t too late. Emilia’s image flashed through my mind. I could see the tears on his face and the hopelessness in her expression and the way she looked at me right before I left.I had promised her that I would fix things for her and I intended to keep that promise to her.I parked outside the police station and hurried into the house. The

Julian’s POVI had never driven so fast and carelessly in my life before. The moment I saw the news alert on my phone, my heart dropped into my stomach.Every television channel was showing the same clip. Emilia standing behind the podium. Her hands were shaking and her voice broke as she spoke.Seconds later, I watched as she ran away from the room with tears streaming down her face.The clip replayed many times and it felt like a knife was being twisted in my chest.She should never have been put though something like that. She had survived being kidnapped and the weeks of fear and nightmares no one should never even experience.And now the the world wanted her to relieve that moment again just for their satisfaction.It made me sick.Immediately I got to the venue, the security recognized me and let me in instantly.I walked into the building and immediately I sighted her. She was sitting on the floor, her knees pulled tightly against her chest. Her face buried in her hands and her

ALEXANDER'S POV FEW DAYS LATER Josh insisted on travelling with Annie after the whole drama died down. According to him, he said he needed it to cool off. I couldn't stop him, he needed it. It had been a hell of a ride for him.It was a new day, the 14th of February. The day my future will be sealed, both in business and in Love.Late the previous day, The chairman had signed the ownership to me, including his shares.That morning, the room was a flurry of activities. My stylist adjusted my tie for the third time, and the event coordinator kept reciting the program line by line.I looked at the full-length mirror. Of course, Rubby had no choice but to fall in love with a handsome dude like me. I wore a navy blue tuxedo with a white shirt. My pocket square was folded to perfection, I looked every inch the CEO of Wolfe's incorporation.My mind drifted to Rubby. I had prepared a surprise for her, and I couldn't wait to see her reaction.She walked in just then looking stunning than ev

JOSH'S POV I swallowed hard and stared at Annie."Why are you doing this?" "For Mirabelle. The one you pushed off the building to her death for a piece of paper."My heart stopped functioning for some minutes.Were they sisters?"I swear, Annie, I didn't do it. I cannot do such a thing.""But you watched it happen?" She muttered and let out a dry, humourless laugh."I am at fault there, but I couldn't help her; it was already late before I could get to her, Annie..." I was weak.Even if I could do anything, I no longer wanted to; she was hurt, and it was justifiable.Just then a car pulled into the driveway; we had little time."Annie, listen," Alex started. I could tell he was desperate."Loosen me, please. Emily lied to you. Why do you think she would offer her shares to you when she's sold them already?"I furrowed my brow in confusion.Had she really sold it, or was Alex making this up?"You are a mother," Rubby muttered."Is this what you want for your son? A mother who is a m

JOSH'S POV The moment I dropped Rubby's call, I pulled into the hospital's building.I needed to get to the root of the matter, and I believed that Alex could sort it out for himself.But then I wondered, what business does Annie have with my mother? And what did it have to do with Mirabelle?"One of you will stay here; one of you will come with me," I ordered the men.I did that to be sure that no one mounts a tracker in my car.Inside the hospital, I was referred to the doctor's office, who, after I told him the reason I came, looked very confused."I didn't make such a call," he muttered.Of course I knew, but I needed to see those who made the call."Was the body moved then?" I asked while carefully scanning the office."I don't think so," he muttered."Well, I think so," I countered. "If they were able to come into this office and go through confidential files, then they might have access to the body. Please check."He nodded in response, and we followed him out.The body was st

ANNIE'S POV I switched off his phone and dialled a number in mine."I have him. "Fulfil your own part of the deal.""Mommy," Micah screamed.I rushed out thinking something bad had happened to him."Mommy, I have a new heart. Now, can I use play now?"My eyes clouded as I remembered how I was able to pay for his transplant.It was the same Alexander who I was about to deliver into Emily's hand.Yes. You read that right.Emily had asked for Alex in exchange for her place in the Wolfe's company; to me, that meant revenge on my sister's killer."Yeah, you can play, but be gentle and don't leave your room no matter what, OK?" I responded gently and walked away, making sure to shut the door behind me.Emily could do nothing to Alex in person, which is why she sent a representative.I sat on the couch waiting for him. I didn't know what was keeping him long, but I hoped he would be back before Josh comes back or before Alex wakes up.I didn't know how long I had waited because I had dozed

ANNIE'S POVI was tense.I was a bag of secrets, but what could I have done? Watch as my sister's killer goes scot-free. All for what? A transfer of ownership?When Mrs Laura brought me back to the Wolfe's mansion, I knew my time had come. What Mirabelle didn't get, I will get and then I will crush each and every one of them that, one way or the other, had a hand in her death.But my son's life was in danger.I needed the money to get him another heart, so I danced to her tune while singing to Emily's drum.I had it all planned out.It was a simple plan, though it escalated really quickly, leaving me heartbroken sometimes.When Alex finally sorted the bills for my child, I began to withdraw. I no longer wanted revenge, but then Emily came with a bigger offer, at the expense of her son.No, her dead son.She told me it was Kevin who killed Mirabelle, but I knew better; I had been on call with Mirabelle before she left to meet him.I had also seen the pictures and videos, the ones Josh

RUBBY'S POV I held my phone close to my heart as if I could feel Alex's heart through it. I was getting scared.The last time he didn't pick up his call, he ended up with Annie.Now this?"What's going on?" I muttered.Every time I looked down at my phone and saw no missed calls or new messages from Alex, my chest hurt a little more.Mom sat watching me with concern written all over her face; Dad, on the other hand, had gone upstairs to make some calls, but I couldn't focus; my thoughts were running wild.I dialled again and again, yet got voicemail."God help me, please," I muttered and clutched the phone tighter to my chest."Rubby," my mom whispered, "you need to sit and breathe. "Look at you; you are shaking, and you know what condition you are in now."I tilted my head and blinked back tears. I couldn't break down, at least not yet.But my voice cracked as I spoke."Something is wrong, Mom; I can feel it. I.....""Baby, you did the right thing by telling Josh; I trust him to ha

Berrilyl's POVTo my surprise, I heard that my brother's pack was left with no alpha and it had been taken over by some group of greedy wolves. The best part of it was that his Luna wife and the others were taken as concubine under the current leader apart from his wife Lucia who had gone earlier with some people of the pack who believed of in her and some of the slaves in the palace that agreed to help her escape. All the slaves he captured had been set free by Lucia but the ones who stayed due to greedy reason were now all under their new leader.In my opinion, Lucia was very lucky she could escape with some of the people I knew were righteous. The rest of them that I even had as friends were all sleeping with Owens behind my back so I didn't care what happened to them since they didn't bother deceiving me or hurting my feelings. They enjoyed my brother and Owens so they could also enjoy the aftermath. I just felt bad a little since I had many memories there but soon I realized t

Berrilyl's POV"Are you still in love with that idiot after everything he put you through?" William asked but I ignored him. What I needed was a way that I could make Cage forgive me for everything that I did. For every single thing that happened between us that I ruined, the people that died and leaving his face like that. There were just too many when I thought of it, and I didn't know how exactly I was going to make him forgive me. I figured out that I'd continue to try no matter what. He was the only true love I ever had."You are thinking about him. Aren't you?" William said looking at me with anger and frustration."Of course I am. Why not?""Really Sis? He punished you. Killed Owens. Turned you into a public slave, allowed people to mistreat you like you were nothing!""Yes, I know. And Owens's death was caused by Cage, and to me, it's a good thing because you knew that bastard was cheating on me, and you encouraged me to get married to him, and with what I did, I kinda deser

Cage's POVI arrived on the scene to witness something that I had not expected: William, cold and firm, was denying Berrilyl. The words coming out of his mouth were so bitter, as if he had no second thought, no remorse about what he was telling her. His eyes, which were usually so cold, were colder, harder than ever. He gazed at her as a stranger, as a failure, as something that could be discarded. There was no sympathy on his face, only complete disinterest.Berrilyl was before him, her own face twisted and pale with feeling. I could observe the shame and remorse reflected in her eyes.I remained in the entrance, observing them, trying to comprehend what I was seeing. A part of me that continued to resent her. The lies, the hypocrisy, that she had been an accomplice to so much pain. But part of me felt sympathy for her. She was also used, duped by the man she loved more than anyone. I was torn at the time, between my anger at her for what she'd done, and the sense that she was a vict

Berrilyl's POVI remained silent at the doorway, concealed in the darkness, ensuring I didn't make any noise. Williams was completely unaware that I was present, hearing everything he said. I didn’t want him to realize I was concealed just behind the door, listening in on what he was saying. My heart pounded while I remained frozen, wishing he wouldn’t see me because I wanted to listen to what he had to say.My heart ached as I listened to the betrayal, the secrets I never could have dreamed of. William's calm, assured tone now trembled with something evil. He spoke of manipulation, and plots to destroy us, and I was only beginning to understand the depth of the lies he had convinced me with. My Alpha, my brother, whom I had thought I could trust and at one point in time even suspected would never desert me, was the architect of my agony.Cage's men were standing in front of me and turned to look at me with their blank faces. It was time. I had heard enough. They had come to drag me fr

Berrilyl's POVI stood there in shock, my eyes fixed on Cage's. My heart was pounding within me, my head spinning from what he'd told me. He'd been so serious, as if he knew so for certain, speaking of something from my past that I didn't remember myself.I didn't believe him, I just didn't want to do that.I couldn't get the words I'd heard him say out of my head.It was William, my brother whom he had raised up, who guarded me, and who had always cared for me. Cage, however, abducted me, he enslaved me, and now he expected me to embrace his reality?I clenched my fists tight, biting the nails of my palms as I spun around and ran towards my room.I needed to get my head together.The moment I closed the door behind me, I inhaled deeply and my chest tightened in rage. My emotions were all tangled up, but one thing was for sure, I just couldn't believe Cage.I jumped at the knock at the door. My body hardened. Had Cage returned?I hesitated and crept toward the door, slowly opening it

Berrilyl's POVWhen I regained my consciousness I looked around and found myself in a very dark place that I could at first hardly see a thing. I tried raising my hands and felt severe pain; I was wounded in different places; it was so painful, and some were deep.Despite that I knew I had to get out of where I was, so I mustered all the courage in me to crawl out of the damn dark room and started shouting for help. My voice wasn't as loud as usual but I did my best to sound loud."Hahaha, oh my! See who's on the floor behaving like a snail. Who's in charge now? You disgusting asshole" I heard a voice say but couldn't clearly identify it."Does your head still hurt? I mean, does your body hurt? I remember throwing you in here, and it made a very loud thud," the man said again, and I realized it was none other than Cain. He had come back to take revenge on me. It became clear to me that all my crawling and shouting was useless and trying to run away from him was hardly going to be im
