Zeta's pov "Help! Somebody, help!" I screamed coughing harshly. The intense heat made it difficult to see or think clearly. The smoke billowed around me, choking my lungs and stinging my eyes. I felt trapped the flames closing in on me with every passing second. I searched for any means of escape. I spotted a nearby window, but it was covered with thick metal bars, preventing me from breaking free. I pounded on the window, hoping someone would hear the sound and come to my rescue. But still, there was no response. The fire continued to rage, devouring everything in its path, I felt my strength waning. Coughing and gasping for breath, I collapsed to the floor, tears streaming down my face. I couldn't believe this was how it would end trapped, helpless, and alone. A distant sound caught my attention. Footsteps. Faint, but growing closer. My heart surged with renewed hope as I realized that help might finally be on its way. I stood up then saw her through the glass standing there l
I woke up stretching my arms then I hit Damien I smiled then kissed him on his head then I noticed Damien's phone, lying on the nightstand, beeping. That thing never seemed to stop. I reached for it, intending to mute the notifications so it wouldn't disturb Damien. However, as I unlocked the screen, a message caught my attention, The message revealed that Damien had taken a loan of five million. My eyebrows furrowed as I tried to make sense of it. Damien was incredibly rich, so why would he need to take such a massive loan? My curiosity piqued, and I couldn't resist the urge to keep reading. I scrolled through his phone, browsing through messages and emails. Slowly, the pieces of the puzzle began to fall into place. It became evident that Damien was facing financial difficulties Damien was going broke. Among the messages, I stumbled upon the receipt for the ring he had given me last night. Its price tag left me stunned. Damien had gone to great lengths, even taking a loan, to get
Damien's POV " Please let me go." Belinda pleaded as I held on to her neck tightly. I was moved by her innocent face. I was ready to end all of this once and for all. Tired of all the mishaps she had caused Zeta. I knew there was reason, she was not mated to me.I regret ever marrying this woman, she was a thorn in my flesh, since she became my wife." Did you think about your life when you decided to destroy the tiles?" I replied, and she gasped away. " I'm sorry." She pleaded and I tightened my grip on her neck. She coughed, and I stared at the monster of a woman I called a wife. How did she manage to pretend for so long?" You must be sick for doing that." I said, tightening my grip. She tried to loosen my grip which was very futile." It was a mistake!" She choked." And I'll mistakenly kill you too." I said promptly. The fear was evident in her eyes when she heard my voice. I was not here to play. Zeta tried to make things right, but Belinda's mantra was to always destroy thin
Damien's POV " I'll get you some toast and coffee," Zeta said and departed from my office. When the door closed, I sighed aloud, picking up the pack record. Alone with my thoughts, I took a look at the financial statements of the mine.My phone rang, and I picked up immediately." Hello." " There's nothing that could do about it, I'll check it out again." Daniel said.We needed to get an additional loan. The jewelry money was not enough to get us back into operation. It was a matter of time before everything crumbled.Taking a look at the current situation of things, I looked around and saw a pack that was going downhill. My other sources of income were not enough to shoulder my responsibility. The danger of having multiple wives. It's was annoying that all they were interested in was the state of my pocket. If I went broke, I was sure that all of them would leave. That would not be a bad idea though.I placed a call to Daniel again, " What do you have for me?" I asked."We have
Chapter 67 AUTHOR'S POV Zeta tossed and turned that night, unable to sleep. She felt so alone after Damien left to Alpha Paul's pack. In fact, she lost her appetite. she knew it was for the good of the pack yet she couldn't help but miss him.Giving up the fight on trying to catch some sleep, she rose and marched to his office. Damien's smell still lingered in the air and she took a deep inhale. The feeling was next to none. Complete bliss.She marched to his seat and went through the account sheets. He had not balanced some accounts and she quickly went to work. It was almost midnight when she finished and she was tempted to call Damien, but she stopped herself. He needed to rest. After all, it was only for three days. She finally fell asleep to the comforting scent emanating from Damien's leather chair. The next day, she was awoken by the loud arguments." What do you mean that I can't go into the office?" Belinda's thundered. Her voice dripping with venom.Moving out to inspe
AUTHOR'S POV Damien knew that something would surely go wrong. It was a given. He was at a loss last to whether to go home or not because as it stood, he wanted to accomplish his mission here." What happened?" He asked, it mustn't be anything serious because he expected at least one of the council members to call him.She stalled, and he became pissed. Did she call to play a prank? There were more important things to do. How dare she waste his time? " Jen?" He called and heard the shuffle of feet, and some rattling sounds in the background." Give it to me." He heard Jen say.He waited to see where this was headed and at the end of the day, Adrien picked up the phone." Hi, daddy." His cute voice came on the phone." Hey, champ." Damien replied in surprise. Why was he the one speaking? "What is going on?" He asked, and Adrien spoke."My mom, and Luna Belinda are fighting." " Pass the phone to Aunt Jen." He said, and Adrien reluctantly passed it to her.He wondered why Jen didn't
AUTHOR'S POVBelinda whirled around in surprise, she never expected that anyone would be in the office." Are you going to keep looking at me?" He asked angrily.Hee mouth fell open and close twice yet no words came out. She went still. Motionless like she had seen a ghost.It was when he walked towards her that she shook.He grabbed her hands roughly. " What are you doing here?" He demanded again.Belinda was unable to come up with a suitable excuse due to the shock in her system." I came to help with some pack work" She said. And pigs fly, complete bullshit! He thought."And you couldn't wait till Zeta woke up?" He asked very pissed that she was trying to play a fast one on him. What did she take him for? A fool? "I just wanted to help." she said, trying to disengage from him."What you are going to do is tell me why you decided to kill my son." He demanded and she gulped.He summoned an emergency meeting with the two wives. " Stay here." He said, and called a guard to call Zeta
AUTHOR'S POV " So, how far have you gone with the book?" Damien inquired and both women looked at each other. It was obvious that they had not read the book, because if they had, they wouldn't be hesitant to reply.Zeta and Belinda sat in separate seats and he wondered what was going through their minds, it was obvious that they didn't pay attention to what he said. At least they took his threat seriously, and fixed the house. It had not returned to its full glory, but there was progressive change. " I didn't peg you for being dumb." He said, making sure to stare at them intensely." I know you have not read the book." He started and the women kept on staring at him and not speaking. After some minutes, they chorused." We have."He laughed, they must think that he didn't know them too well." If you had read this book, there is no way you will read it and not have changes. Your incessant fights would have ended." He said, and they knew they had been caught. " I give you a second
