So, it turns out that Lia isn't all that naïve, is she? How do you think she found out? And what do you think Ezra would do when he sees that the crystal is not there? Where do you think she is hiding it? Don't forget to vote, comment, and leave a review. Bye.
Ezra: “She really did outdo herself, I have to admit that much.” Armando said, and I nodded, crossing my arms over my chest as I looked at the girls. The dresses that they were wearing were initially styled by an Italian, but the last thing that I expected was for them to come out looking as different as they did now. The material, the quality, everything about the dress was now completely different, and how she managed to do it in such a short period of time, I had no idea, but either way, I was impressed with the modifications. “She did do one thing though…” Armando said, making me raise an eyebrow. He looked at Giuliano, who just entered the gala’s hall. His eyes avoided mine, and looking sideways at Killian, the Lycan raised an eyebrow at me before nodding at the girls. “I believe that you chose to ditch Vitaly?” He asked. The men who were entering the gala’s hall all seemed to be impressed. They should be, these girls were going to serve us for the night, and if they did the j
Lia: I sat on the edge of the bed, waiting for Ezra to come back from the runway. I was both curious about what he had to tell me about it, and the fact that he might have known where the key was by now only made me more intrigued. If the man was taking me for a fool, wanting to find the crystal, then he was very stupid to think that I would leave it unguarded. His scent filled my nostrils as the elevator leading to the house opened, and getting up from bed, I walked out of the room to greet him. He didn’t bother smiling or looking at me, and I had to fight back the small smile that formed on my lips as I waited for what he had to say; however, he just walked past me without saying a word, or even looking me in the eye. “Is everything alright?” I asked, frowning in confusion at his behavior. He nodded, and smiled, turning to face me before opening his arms for me. I hugged him, and smiled when he kissed the crown of my head, keeping the stupidity game on, pretending to not realiz
Ezra: I watched as Lia walked out of the house, shaking my head at her ignorance. The fact that I hadn’t found what I was looking for by her side meant that I didn’t need to play the game of the loving husband anymore. I knew that the two of us had our public duties together, and wanting to make sure that she didn’t screw things up, I was sure to keep myself grounded so as not to hurt her. “You called for me, boss?” Armando asked, shaking his head in question. “Yes, Lia just went out. It seems like someone leaked something from her company, and whatever it is, she seems to be annoyed about it.” I said, making Armando frown in confusion. “We need an upper hand on her somehow, something to make her trust me. For now, she doesn’t, and I am aware of that; but that doesn’t mean that I can’t earn her trust somehow. We will do that this way. I will find out who did it, and who they leaked it to, and that would make it as if she ‘owes’ us something.” “Yes, boss.” Armando said, smirki
Lia:“What do you mean that the security system has been breached? What the hell are you talking about?” I asked, glaring at my manager whose eyes were wide in fear. I had come to the office earlier this morning, and locking my office’s door, I knew that I had to be completely calm to think properly about what I was going to do. Acting on anger was not going to get me anywhere, and that was something that I couldn’t afford considering that I had to run my businesses properly.But now it was a while into the night, and almost all the employees were leaving. And not wanting to insult the managers in front of them, I chose to call them in now. But I would be lying if I said that I had calmed down. I didn’t, not one bit actually. I could hear the man’s racing heartbeat, and the way he looked at me told me that he knew that not only would he lose his job for his, but the fact that he had left my office unattended would end up putting him under questioning. And that was only the hell that
Ezra: “What are you doing here?” I asked, frowning in confusion. Lia laughed, and shaking her head, she walked toward me and put her hand on my chest, pushing me back. I frowned in confusion, and wrapping my hand around her wrist, I raised an eyebrow, waiting for her response.She snatched her hand from mine, and nodded at me to follow her inside the club. I frowned in confusion, and walking inside, she didn’t bother stopping for a second until she reached a room that had no sounds inside. She opened the door and walked inside, crossing her arms over her chest as she waited for me to walk inside.“What the fuck?” I asked, frowning in confusion. “To fucking hell are you going to be rude to me right now.” She snapped, stopping me. “I understand very well that our marriage is a fucking deal, and that anything between us is for show, but why the fuck does Killian have to know about it?” Her question made me frown in confusion, and shaking her head, she waited for me to respond, but whe
Lia: “You are just going to partner with me?” Ezra asked, raising an eyebrow at me. “The last thing I want is to partner with a manipulative man for a husband, but at this point, I will do what it takes to save the thing that I have spent years working on. If partnering with you guarantees it, then I will go all the way for that.” I said, looking the man dead in the eye. The man didn’t know how much I struggled to ensure that I didn’t lose this, especially since I had to found it from nothing. Therefore, I wasn’t going to give it up for his, or anyone’s sake, if anything, I was going to fight my life for it. “Interesting what you would do for something that you believe you worked hard for.” He said, and I laughed, shaking my head at the Alpha who thought that I wasn’t being serious about what I was saying. Being as quiet as I was, choosing to follow his path, made him forget that not only was I an Alpha’s daughter, but the man dying meant that I was an Alpha. It was something that I
Ezra: “I take it that you put my offer in consideration?” I heard Killian ask from inside the hotel’s ballroom.Not wanting to make anything obvious about our partnership just yet, the two of us have agreed to rent a hotel rather than use one of the ones I owned, and though at first I was against it, I quickly complied to Lia who didn’t seem to be in the mood to talk to me to begin with. The two of us were still having a major gap, and I was well aware that it was due to the picture that she saw. Killian having an upper hand on her was not something that she wanted, and if I were being honest, neither was it something that I wanted.“No, I did not, but I have to thank you for coming today.”“You needn’t thank me for something that would benefit the two of us. As I have heard, the gathering is to announce a partnership, and as far as we are both concerned, the one partnership that you need right now is mine.” He said confidently. I had to fight back chuckling at his self entitlement,
Lia:“The two of us are invited to a club’s opening today.” Ezra said, and I nodded. “We need to be there as a couple, and there would be a few things that I would need to finish there as well.”“Sure, when do you want us to leave so I know when to start getting ready?” I asked, shaking my head in question. I was getting ready to go out and run a few errands with Madeline before starting on the new designs that Lady Briana chose after accepting the compensation and apology. The fact that her husband didn’t say anything about it was a miracle, but seeing as she knew my work, and the quality that I often gave her. She knew that if anything like this had happened, then it was beyond my control, and thankfully, that kept her husband quiet. “We would be leaving the house at around nine or nine-thirty. The club opens at eleven for the public, but the VVIP lounge would be open for us. There would be mafia men and their wives, and I do suggest that we tone down the attitude with the women w
His eyes widened as they suddenly opened, his heart beating for the first time in weeks. That out of breath heavy one. One that he did not expect. His eyes searched around the tomb that he was in. Trying to process how he had gotten in here in the first place before his memory played back. The man had died. He was killed. He had kicked twice, but he didn’t open. Therefore, he chose to break it, punching it with a force that had it crashing on top of him. Sand fell on the man, but he didn’t care. He dug himself out, fearing that he was dead inside a tomb. In reality, he was. But he was yet to process that he came back from life, he came back from a different world, and that was something that was going to change a lot in him. He growled, getting out of the hole that he was in, taking a deep breath as he inhaled his oxygen. People who were around him, watching the scene, having initially come to visit their loved ones tried to flee. However, he didn’t really care. He stood up tryin
Ezra:“I didn’t want to speak in front of Lia, but what the hell happened?” I asked, frowning at my brother as we entered my office. We were back at New York’s Estate. However, I still couldn’t understand everything that we have lived through back at Rome, literally nothing made sense and that was something that I was well aware of. I didn’t even need to explain how wrong everything was to my brother, the man already knew.“I have no idea. But whatever it is, I really don’t know how this is going to lead us. Why did he drag us all the way to Rome when he could have killed her here?” Alvize asked, frowning in confusion. He was right, the two of us couldn’t understand anything that happened. Mom didn’t know what happened just yet, but I knew that when she heard, she was not going to be happy about it. I still didn’t even know how we were going to deal with Andromeda. The demon was going to put us through hell for this. And we weren’t even the reason behind her daughter’s death, but how
Lia: I looked at the woman, Annalise, who stood in front of us, shifted to a complete wolf. However she had done it. I don’t know, but I assumed that she had shifted before the moon rose. Regardless of what we told her and the facts that she knew, the woman didn’t seem to care. She was determined to lose her life here and now, and that was not something that we could allow. We at least needed this night to end without problems. Annalise had completely lost her mind, and that was something that I was sure of. Killian looked at the two of us, smirking as he watched his sister approaching. Alvize wrapped his arm around me and pulled me back from the two Lycans, not wanting me to get hurt. I knew that he needed me alive. I had to be the one to kill Killian. The blade was with me and not with Ezra, but that didn’t mean that they wouldn’t hurt my husband and that was not something that I wanted. “You heard me, Ezra D’Caprio.” Annalise said, threatening my husband. I looked at Ezra, wait
EzraMy wife and I ran through the hallways of the house. This mansion was huge, and needless to say, I understood what she meant by every single door here was named after her. She didn’t only mean that garden store, literally every single door was named after her. Most of the doors were locked, and only unlocked when we said Annalise. Either Killian was obsessed with the woman, or someone else had bought the house, and knowing Killian, I was sure that it wasn’t him that wanted every door to be named after the woman.The man proved to everyone that he did not like the woman. If anything, he has always tried to get rid of her, either by getting her married or by sending her on a mission that would kill her. The last of them was him knowing that she was within a relationship with the demon and yet not stopping it. How he had known and had the heart for it, I didn’t understand. However, I didn’t bother questioning it. At this point, all common sense wasn’t real, and if anything, I doubt
Lia:I had to fight the urge to snap the man’s neck as I glared at him. I knew that it wouldn’t help me. The man needed to be stabbed in the heart. Making sure that he took his last breath. It was the only way that he would die. A blade in the heart. While looking him in the eye, making sure that it was deep enough for him to die.Annalise took a slow step back. Trying to flee my anger, however, I simply laughed, mocking her as my husband stood by my side. He wrapped his arm around my waist as he pulled me closer, making sure to keep his eyes on the Lycans who were afraid. “Now, you know that we couldn’t do anything and that the two of us were weak. The two of us were nothing.” I said, recalling the Lycan’s insulting words when he had me captive in his house. It was something that I wouldn’t forget or forgive him for. The pain and anger that I have lived through was one that would forever be stuck in my head. “Yeah, how many words have you said so far?”I knew that I was taunting the
EzraI stayed quiet for a few seconds as I looked at the doors that opened, revealing the mansion that we were going to enter. Annalise let out a sigh of relief, clearly happy that we had arrived ‘safely’. She didn’t know the consequences that came with this arrival.Though they were unaware of our hands and my feet being free, the two of us stayed completely still, not wanting them to find out just yet. Things needed to take time, however this time was not on our side, we needed to work fast. It was the night where everything was going to end. Otherwise it was as though going to end.“Get them out.” Annalise said, glaring at the men. Her orders towards the men made them flinch. However, they did not dare to object as they opened the door for us. I stayed still, looking at the woman, watching as the men approached us. My wife’s expression was calm, and I knew that it was something that somewhat frightened the men and the Lycan who stood in front of us. The last thing she expected was
Lia: I sat in back of the truck, looking at my husband’s reflection as he smirked. Having just arrived in Rome, the woman was taking us to the Estate, at least, I think that it was one, for all of this to end. Ezra and I shifted the other night in the plane, leading the cabin crew, Annalise, and three of her brother’s men to be afraid of us. They had to put us to sleep to ensure that we didn’t kill them. Flashback: My body forced me to shift as the full moon rose in the sky. Though we were in the plane, our wolves could feel the rise of the moon, so we shifted. “What the fuck is going on?” Annalise asked, hearing our growls as she walked toward the compartment that we were in. I looked at my husband who nodded before the two of us got ready in the shadow. “What the fuck are the two of you going on about? You are already fed…” Ezra jumped on the woman first causing her to stumble back before I went to grab her arm. A man tried attacking me; however, I jumped on his arm, biting
Ezra: “What the fuck do you mean by the man left to Rome?” I asked, glaring at Francesco who looked down at his feet, avoiding my eyes, clearly wanting to run away from it. I knew that the last thing he needed was to get in the middle of this. The man was assigned to make sure that Killian didn’t even reach the airport; therefore for him to just easily escape, now that was something that I couldn’t understand. “Boss…” “Do not ‘boss’ me. I want direct responses. YOU, Bruno, and Valdez were assigned to…” “He killed them, Alpha.” He said, making me frown before the smell of blood filled my nostrils as he raised his shirt and bandage. Lia gasped, and I knew that she wasn’t looking at me or Francesco, her face wasn’t even directed at us. “Ezra…” “Not now, Lia.” I said, rushing to the man’s side. I wrapped my arm around the man, noticing that his intestines were showing. However he made it here, I didn’t know, but I didn’t intend on asking to find out. “Ezra!” Lia snapped, making me f
Lia:I watched as Ezra walked out of the basement where the cells were and frowned when I saw his anger in his eyes.Donatello, who was standing beside me, shook his head, motioning for me not to interfere.I knew that the man would need a little time to process what happened, and though I knew that he wouldn’t be taking it as easy as one, two, and three. He needed time to allow himself to digest everything that he has been going through, and to begin with, he needed time to actually think straight.“Donatello, I can’t just leave him to handle this on his own.” I said, looking at the man who shook his head at me.“For now, he needs to process what has happened. I know that it would be hard for you to leave him alone in this state. Especially as his mate, you would be finding the urge to want to go to him. But he needs to be able to think straight before the two of you can talk.” He said, and despite the pain that I felt at knowing that my mate was hurt, I was forced to stand still. Hi
