Anger boiling in my veins, I push open the heavy wooden doors of the dining room, my heart pounding with each step I take.You crossed all lines Austin."Austin Jebel Sinclair!" I call his full name while I approach him. He messed up badly, I will make sure he pays for what he did. "Bella." He says standing up from his seat. He looks at me with a hint of shock in his eyes. "You crossed all lines Austin, how could you!"My voice is sharp and filled with pain, I glare at him, searching for any hint of remorse in his expression but as always there is none. "What are you doing here?" He whispers to me "How dare you! How could you do that, she’s just a little girl." Emotions start to wash over me as I speak. "What are you talking about?" He questions. I am about to speak when he continues "You know what, I don’t even have time for this. And as you can see I have company so behave yourself." He says grabbing my arm tightly.I glance over his shoulder to see two men standing curiously, I
~ AUSTIN’S POV"Oh fuck!" I screech lashing out and punching the closest wall to me. My skin breaks and blood pours out of my knuckles, but It doesn’t hurt, it makes me more furious. I am fed up with Bella and her uncivilized behavior. How dare she walk into my meeting and start yelling at me? Who the hell does she think she is? Just because I am legally married to her doesn’t mean she has the right of a wife to lash out her words at me. I am the Austin Sinclair. The Lycan of this town, no one absolutely no one has the audacity to just step on me and walk away like it’s my fault. This day is just going as bad as it started. First I had to bring my meeting home because the Lycans came earlier than I expected and then Bella came with her stupid little talk about last night and suddenly this happened!! This is great. Another day, another problem, I don’t seem to get away with problems since Bella started living here, every day is just another day for her to find something and get mad a
~ BELLA’S POVStanding behind the ledge of the building, I take a deep breath taking in the beautiful view. It is breathtaking as always but it doesn’t make me feel the way it’s meant to. I don’t feel calm or happy like I always do when I come here. The atmosphere is as refreshing as ever, yet it only serves as a reminder of how unfortunate my life is. I have no idea what I am doing right now. My life feels like a mess and I don’t even know what to do to fix it. It’s almost as if I don’t have anything left. I feel hopeless, one minute I thought everything would be fine and the other I feel like my life is crumbling into pieces. I cried myself to sleep, I felt like I should just end the contract with Austin and go back to my house with Layla but it’s very risky. I can’t do that to her not when I know I can not afford her treatment fees or food supplies. I have no money with me right now and if Layla and I move out, I will be doomed. Her life will be more miserable than it already is. I
Approaching the light switch, I flicked it on. As I turn around, my eyes widen as my breath catches up in my throat. What the hell is he doing here?"Welcome back Bella," Austin says crossing his leg on the other. He is sitting on the couch across from me. How the hell did he get in? I thought I locked the door so no one would enter. I don’t say a word as I keep staring at him wondering why he is he. He probably knows I snuck and is here to catch me red-handed. "How was your day?" He simply asks My mouth was still slightly opened, and I gulped the lump that formed in my throat. Why is Austin acting so calm? Why isn’t he shouting and yelling already? And why am I still alive? He should have killed me by now. I still don’t respond to him as I try to crack up what’s going on in his head. I don’t sense anything but I have a feeling that he is cooking up something devilish for me. He’s probably thinking of ways to kill me and Matt together. "Why are you so quiet, Bella?" He asks; his
"You heard me, take your fucking clothes off. And whatsoever you do with Matt you are gonna do it with me. Right here, right now."I think my ears just failed me because what I just heard seemed to be false. Austin won’t tell me to do that, would he? He doesn’t think of me as a slut, does he? He can’t be this cruel to tell me to do something like that, can he? It’s probably my ears, I didn't hear him well."Do I have to repeat myself or what? Take off your fucking clothes!" He growls making me jump a little.I always underestimate Austin. I did hear him, right? He said what I heard. He wants me to take off my clothes so he……. No, I can’t do that. I can’t even think about doing that with him. He just has to think of something but I can’t do that. "Austin I can’t-""Take it off or I will rip it off myself." He says cutting me off Is he serious right now? I know I broke the rule but that doesn’t mean he will tell me to do something like this, does it?"I- I can’t," I say shaking my he
~ AUSTIN’S POVThe next day….I had to teach Bella a lesson she will never forget. Breaking the rule is one thing but cheating on me and lying about it is another. I don’t regret what I did, in fact, I am happy that I did that. Bella needed to know that she couldn’t cheat on me and get away with it. She needed to know that with each rule she broke, she would have to face consequences for it, and cheating on me was way too far. I have been cheated on numerous times, and during those times I was blindly in love but not anymore. My eyes are wildly open now and I can not be fooled again. Now that Bella has learned a valuable lesson, she knows how much I take my rules seriously; I do not joke around with them or with her. Although, I am not very proud of what I said to her. I should have held my anger but I just couldn’t. It is hard to hold back something that’s eating you up. I just had to say something before I left and as usual, I didn’t think before I spoke. I just blabbered out the f
~ BELLA’S POVI am done letting my emotions take the best of me. I am done feeling sorry for myself. I am done acting like the victim. I am done being weak and stupid. And most importantly I am done shedding tears because of someone undeserving. Last night was different from all the other nights I’ve spent here. I couldn’t sleep, not only because of Austin but because of everything that happened. I would have considered yesterday to be the worst day of my life but with Austin being in my life, I think I will have days worse than that. Speaking of Austin, he didn’t come back to the room last night not that I care but I am just curious why he didn’t. I have a feeling he didn’t come back because he went looking for Matt probably because the punishment he gave me wasn’t enough to cool his stupid aggression. After what Austin did to me last night, I was devastated and wanted to wash off every single part of him that hurt me, so I decided to clean myself up. And while I was in the bathro
I am trying to put two in two together but it’s giving me a hard time and I am losing my mind. I just can’t figure it out, I mean I have already agreed to my thoughts that Samaria is Austin’s ex-girlfriend but what I don’t seem to understand is how Uncle Martin knows about her.The statement he made in Austin’s study room got me even more confused. He confidently said he has known both of us his entire life and that we are birds from the same species. That sentence got me thinking about what he meant by that. I have known Uncle Martin almost my entire life but I have never encountered a time he mentioned someone named Samaria or even introduced me to someone with that name. I feel like I am missing something from this information. There is something I didn’t pay attention to but what? I stand up from the couch where I was sitting earlier, as I pace back and forth. Uncle Martin knows Austin and with how Austin was interacting with him, I can tell that they have known each other for
Hi guys👋 I know most of you didn’t expect the book to end this way, most of you wanted Jacob to be back but sadly it didn’t happen. However the last chapter ended with a cliffhanger so there may or may not be a “book two” it all depends on what the platform wants. I hope they accept “book 2” because I have so many uncovered secrets to tell and of course, I have a character that I will love to bring back. Anyways, please support me by recommending the book, commenting, voting, and reviewing it. The more support I get, the more the chances of the “book 2”being accepted sooner. I had a lovely time writing this book and now that it’s over, I couldn’t be any more excited to write the “book 2” of it. Thank you so much, everyone, have a lovely holiday and new year. P.S. Check out my other book. Unwanted Mafia King is one of the best.
~ AUSTIN’S POV Just like every single night, this scene keeps playing over and over in my head; a nightmare. It's etched in there, haunting me like the sound of a thunderstorm that won't let up. I can see it vividly, like a movie playing in my head. Jacob, he's there, begging for mercy. His voice and pleads are dancing in my ears, echoing and lingering. I wish I could do something to help him, I wish I could rush in and save him, hold him close, and tell him that everything's gonna be alright. But I'm stuck. It's like I'm frozen in time, unable to change what will happen no matter how much I try. I can see the killer attacking Jacob, he isn’t saying anything but his silence scares me. I watch him take slow steps closer to Jacob like a lion ready to prey. Though I can’t see his face, I can tell that he is dangerously aggressive. From his moves to his body to the shape bloody axe he is holding; it all screams danger and death. My heart immediately starts to race a mile a minute as
"Layla, are you done getting ready?" I ask, stepping out of my room. "Yes and I'm right here," she replies with her cute little voice, peeking out from the corner. I turn to look at her, and my eyes light up with delight at her appearance. "Wow, you look absolutely stunning!" I exclaim, unable to hide my admiration. "Thanks, Bell! I really love this dress. It's definitely the best Christmas gift ever," she says, her face beaming with joy as I wrap my arms around her. As we pull away, I can't help but smile. "Oh, silly girl!" I cup her face "The dress is just a present, not your actual Christmas gift. That's waiting for you under the tree." "Really? Can I open it now?" she asks eagerly, her excitement palpable. "No, sweetheart. We have to wait until after dinner," I reply, trying to contain her impatience. "Okay," she says, though her tone hints at her eagerness to tear into the presents. She's always like this when it comes to Christmas gifts. As we descend the stairs, I feel L
~ BELLA’S POVThose weeks seemed to pass by in a blur, and little by little, I felt my heart and soul healing. The pain and confusion I once felt about why Samaria tried to hurt me started to fade away. It finally clicked in my mind that she did it because she wanted to be with Austin. I can understand her perspective, but I can't help but think that her approach was completely wrong and unacceptable.If she had just talked to me, she would have known that my heart never throbbed for Austin. He's always been just a friend to me, nothing more than that. It's frustrating to think that if she had followed the right path, she could have had Austin without causing all this unnecessary pain. But alas, she didn't realize it.A lot has changed in the past few weeks, and I've noticed some interesting things. Layla has been doing so much better lately. She's not spending all her time sleeping anymore, which is a huge relief. And as for Austin, he seems to be a lot happier overall. But there are
Samaria stood in front of me, her eyes fixed on mine, waiting for a response. I tried to meet her gaze, but something held me back. Was it because I still had feelings for her, or was it just my own anxiety getting in the way?"I don't love you anymore," I say, looking into her eyes. It's hard to believe I actually said it, but strangely, I don't feel as anxious as I thought I would. It's like my heart knows it's the truth and it feels liberating to finally be honest."No!" she shakes her head, refusing to accept it. "You're lying to me. I can't believe this.""You have to leave now. I don't have time for this," I inform her, trying to be firm."No, you can't just tell me to leave, Austin. You need me," she insists."I don't need you," I reply, my tone resolute."Yes, you do. You need me," she repeats, holding on to hope."The door is that way, please," I point towards the exit, choosing to ignore her plea."I can't leave, especially when you need me," she says."For the love of God,
~ AUSTIN’S POVSamaria is definitely behind this. She has to be the one who tried to drug Bella, it only makes sense that way because she was the only one present there and she had the pill bottle with her. I am not so sure of this but I find it very much believable that she can do something of such. She’s done a similar thing in the past so I won’t be that much surprised if she tried to do it again. I have been constantly thinking about this and I want to let it slide but at the same time, I can’t. It’s hard to let go of a matter that is more of a life-and-death situation. Samaria must have been fully aware of the purpose and effects of the medication to intentionally use it on Bella.Leaning against the chair, I try to reason it, all pieces of this situation tell me how badly Samaria is behind this. I mean, first, she gets extremely upset at Bella for no particular reason and then suddenly she tries to get to know her better…. I knew something was off the moment Bella told me that
~ AUSTIN’S POVI have done a lot of thinking and I believe this is best for me. I just have to do it no matter how hard it is or how much it’s going to hurt me. I know this is going to be extremely tough but I believe I can handle it. I have dealt with so many tough things and even though I know that this won’t be easy, I believe I can do it. I have spent years being in constant pain, just trying to strive and be myself. I think that everything will be fine if I just go back to Samaria. She has always been the one my heart desires and maybe, just maybe her words are true and she wants to be back together. I know it's a long shot and I've said in the past that I don't want to be with her, but the truth is, my heart yearns for her. Every part of me is calling out her name, and all I can think about is spending the rest of my life with her.I thought of letting her go and just be with Bella but what if Bella doesn’t want to be with me? What if she wants to be with someone else? I mean B
~ AUSTIN’S POVI'm feeling super overwhelmed with all these thoughts and emotions flooding my brain. It's like my mind is running a marathon, going a mile a minute! And the craziest part is that I can't seem to control my own thoughts. It's like they have a mind of their own, trying to take over the little space in my head.And it only gets more confusing and complicated because, for some reason, Jacob keeps popping into my head, and that's so out of the blue because I usually never think about him. I try my best to keep him out of my mind to avoid getting hurt, but it's like he's on repeat in my thoughts and I can't hit the pause button. It's driving me nuts. I wish I had a magic trick to make those thoughts disappear, but unfortunately, I'm still figuring it out myself.It's been a tough week for me, and I didn't make it to the cemetery to meet Jacob because of all these negative thoughts clouding my mind. It's so strange how my thoughts keep circling back to Jacob, even though I ca
I've got every little detail meticulously planned out. It's going to be absolutely flawless, without a single blunder. I am determined to make sure everything goes smoothly so I can end this once and for all. I really need to put an end to this madness so Bella and I can have the perfect peace we deserve.I am pretty sure that I sound like a bad sister but trust me, I’m not the bad sister, Bella is. She is the one who is trying to take my man away from me. She is the one that trying to impose hateful comments about me on Austin. She is the one that ruined my life and now, I am going to make her feel the same. The only difference is that it won’t hurt as much as it did to me. I've got my plan intact in mind to ensure Bella rests in perfect peace before Austin returns home. After doing some research, I discovered that taking that large amount of pills would lead to death, but it takes time for them to take effect. All I am wishing now is for Austin to not come back before then, as I don
