“You called for me Dad”. Talia uttered as she sat on a sofa, next to her mom. Mr Raymond cleared his throat for a while before he began to speak. “Your mom and I had decided to get you engaged with Jackson. Your marriage will be held in a few weeks from now”.Talia arched her brows, surprised by her father's words. She stood to her feet instantly and drew closer to him. She remained speechless for a while and when she finally found her voice, she pleaded with her dad. “Dad, please I'm in love with someone else”. She replied, her words dripping with desperation.“Please give me some time to bring him here to meet you and mother. He's a good person, and will prove worthy of your approval, I promise.”Mr Raymond squeezed his hands tightly with hers and smiled at her warmly. “You know we love you too much Natalia, and we can't have you leaving us once more. Besides, it’s time you take your rightful position as the CEO of the company”. Talia, hearing these words, released her hands fro
AUTHOR'S POV. “Miss, do you need anything or I should…” “Don't worry about that, I'm waiting for someone”. Mia cuts the waiter off before he can complete his statement.She glanced at wrist watch for a moment before taking a deep breath. “Please Zane”. She whispered silently. Even after Zane suggested that they shouldn't see anymore, Mia found it very hard to stop calling or texting him. She wanted to hear more from him.Zane couldn't just end their friendship so quickly. She thought something made him do so, something he never wanted her to know about. After a few minutes, she picked up her phone and dialed Zane's number a second time but still, he never answered. Mai covered her face with her palms and lowered her head to the floor. It's been six hours now and Zane hasn't come to see her. In no time, she felt a tear drop down from her eyes. And she wiped them off instantly. Mia's gaze remained on the floor and she couldn't bear it anymore, everything Zane had put her through,

EMILY'S POV. I sat silently in Christian's car, I just couldn't help thinking why he kept staring at me every second. I turned my gaze to the window and glanced outside the main road for a moment. “What's wrong Emily, you don't feel comfortable?.” He questioned and I turned to him. “I'm fine”. I uttered and he held my hands with his other hand.” We're here already.”Christian halted and when I tried to climb out of the car, he walked towards the door and opened it wide for me. A smile crept on my face immediately as I stepped out and I tried to maintain my composure. Gosh, how I love this man so badly! After a few steps, we reached our main destination, a beautiful restaurant and bar that had fountains and statues within its surroundings. “This is beautiful,” I whispered and it made Christian smirk. I looked around for a while and when I noticed the place was empty, I turned my gaze back to Christian instantly, “I think this place is closed for today”. My words made Christian sm
EMILY'S POV.“She's alright now Christian,” I said softly and he heaved deeply. “Thank you so much love”. Christian responded and I smiled warmly.“It's nothing, Mia's just having a hard time and I think she needs some time alone”. I uttered and Christian nodded his head twice. “Yeah, yeah!, let's do that. We should let her be for a while.”And with that, we both turned to leave, but Blake didn't, he stayed behind and relaxed in a seat next to Mai. “Hey, Christian,” I called out, making him stop on his track and turn to me. “I'll be going to the mall tomorrow to get some stuff for Lilith”. “No problem”. He responded and as I turned to leave for my room, he grabbed my hands tightly. “Please stay with me tonight”?I heard his sweet and calm voice. “but I …”. Before I could complete my statement, he pulled me closer himself and hugged me so tight. “Please love.” His voice was tempting and I couldn't just resist it. “Alright,” I said, and he smiled at me, his smile made me feel butte
TYLER'S POV.I sat down on warm and Sandy soil across the ocean and let out a deep breath. Coming here was the best option. I just needed to be settled and avoid anything that would make me think. I buried my legs on the ground and watched the sunset. It was so amazing and for the first time in the past few days, I smiled. It was getting dark already but still, I just couldn't go back home. It felt so nice and calm here.My phone rang out and I reached out for it in my pocket. As I turned it on, I spotted Zane's number dancing on the screen. I picked up the phone immediately and began to speak. “Is there a problem?.” “Your mother is back, Alpha,” Zane reported. “I'll be home in a few hours,” I responded and ended the call instantly. Mom had been acting strange before she left and I was bent on asking her about it. The weather was already signalling that it was about to rain so I stood up and walked towards where I parked my car. I climbed in, turned on the engine, and drove bac
AUTHOR'S POV“Take good care of yourself, Natalia.” She heard her mom's voice at the other end of the call. “Yes, mom!.” And with that, she dropped the call instantly. Tyler grabbed her keys and left the hotel room immediately.When she stepped outside, she reached out for the phone immediately and dialed an unknown number. “I just sent you her pictures, make sure you get everything done as fast as possible.” Talia dropped the call and climbed into her car. *Emily's pov.Christian left for the company already because he had an urgent meeting with his team and Mia was already getting better but still, she preferred some time alone. I wasn't going to the hospital today, so I was left with Lilith. I glanced down at her and when she darted her gaze up to me, I smiled broadly. “Hey, do you want to go and get something, like maybe ice cream.”. I questioned and she nodded her head instantly. I helped her with her sandals and as I grabbed my keys, we walked straight to my car. I Stopp
CHRISTIAN’S POV. After everything that had happened yesterday, I found it very hard to sleep peacefully. I was wide awake through the night and kept thinking about Lilith. “Was she safe where she is and is she scared?”. I thought deeply. Emily wasn't at fault because she had no idea why Lilith was kidnapped. Those monsters were getting on my nerves and I needed to act fast. I glanced at the wall clock at exactly 5 am. I rose to my feet instantly and headed toward Emily's room. I had to see her before going to meet those assholes. When I reached her room, I Knocked gently on her door but I got no response. I knocked a second time but still, there was no response. I opened the door immediately and stormed inside the room but Emily wasn't there. “Where the hell is she now?” I exclaimed angrily. I walked towards her bed and spotted a little note on it. “What is this!.” I grabbed the note instantly and read through it. “Hey Christian, I think I know where Lilith is. I know it is al
