JEZEBEL’S POV
“Daisy, you don’t need to worry. We went for a check-up, already.” Max interrupted, although he spoke to her softly.
I expected him to lose his temper on her since it was obvious she had a hunch that the pregnancy was fake, and probably needed another hospital to confirm it. Well, there was no way she would reveal my secret. Never!
“I'd like to go to bed. I’m tired.” I said, and rose to my feet.
“Are you sure? But you just got here.” Max uttered, looking concerned.
“I suddenly don’t feel too good.” I replied, and pushed the chair back a little.
Truly, I was beginning to feel nauseous, and my ears were seeming like they were going dim, making the sounds I was hearing seem almost impossible to hear. Even the aroma of the food irritated me.
Could it be because Daisy just
DAISY’S POVWords failed me when I discovered Jezebel was truly pregnant. Not that I didn’t want her to get pregnant, but she was showing signs that made it look like she had a secret she was keeping, regarding that pregnancy.Especially this night when she acted so worked up when I insisted that we do a check up on her, in a different hospital.While standing in the waiting room, Max walked up to me.“I need to see you, Daisy. Can we step out?” He asked, and I nodded.Although, I wondered what he needed to see me for. I followed him out to his car, and then he leaned his back on the car, while standing firmly.For a moment, silence reigned, and I did nothing but wait for him to speak. I just hoped he wasn’t about to say something which would break my heart.“I really do hope you haven’t been feeling left out and all,
DAISY’S POVMy eyelids opened slowly, and to my shock, it was already nightfall, and I was on a ground which seemed to have been cleared of grasses and plants, about two days ago. The damp smell that came from the ground made me feel a bit sick, so I managed to stand on my feet.On rising to my feet, I looked around, and discovered I was on a vast land, with just one thing I could see; the moon.Apart from the moon in the sky, there was nothing else I could see. No trees, rivers, or hills.“Where am I?” I muttered under my breath, feeling a bit anxious about the weirdness going on.“Daisy.” I heard a whisper, like the person was close to my ears.I looked back sharply, but found no one.“Daisy,” came another whisper.I kept looking around, abruptly as I heard whispers of my name, and it was becoming unbearable that I held my head, which at the same time, covered my ears.“Stop it, please. Stop it.” I pleaded as tears ran down my eyes as I shut them.After about a minute, those whispers
MAX’ POV“Max! Max! Aidan, Nadia!” She called out our names, except that of Jezebel’s.I dropped my spoon as I exchanged glances with Jezebel, and then looked back at Daisy.“Daisy, what’s going on? We’re right here.”“Max!” She called out, and was looking round the dining table like she couldn’t see us.“Daisy, what’s going on?” I asked her as I rose to my feet, worried about her.But then, she screamed out loud, and was about to run out when I held her back immediately. Even as I held her, she was still trying her best to set herself free from my grip.“Daisy! Daisy!”“Help!” She yelled out, looking around in fear.“Daisy! Come back to your senses!” I voiced out as I shook her.And just when
JEZEBEL’S POVIt was evening, and I was enjoying a cup of tea, to myself while I fixed my eyes on the TV. A sweet sensation overwhelmed me, starting from my stomach, and I cozied up to the pillows on the sofa as the passing breeze left me with goosebumps.Then I felt Max’ presence, and saw the maids hurrying into the hallway which led to the living room. I dropped my legs down, and placed my cup of tea on the table, waiting for him to pop out.And when he did, I saw him with Daisy.I rose to my feet, and wore a smile on my face as that would be one of the things that would get me off the suspect list, should in case of any issue, rise up.“Welcome, Daisy. You look much better.” I uttered, and grinned as my eyes drifted from her to Max, and then back to her.“Thanks.” She responded softly, without making eye contact with me.
DAISY’S POVMartha began to arrange the table, and I waited patiently for her to be done. She placed a cup of tea on everyone’s table, and when she placed mine, I felt a bit skeptical about it.Something in me felt reluctant to take it.Probably because it was because it was Martha who served it, and she was more like the closest maid to Jezebel.Even her hands shook a little, while serving it to me. Well, the only thing I can do to give myself a peace of mind, is to exchange this. I exchanged the cup of tea with Jezebel’s and shortly after, everyone came downstairs, at different times.~While Jezebel asked me questions, I felt a little uncomfortable because I still wasn’t used to her being nice to me. Not long after silence reigned, I heard a scream, and looked opposite me only to see Jezebel screaming out loud in pain.She held her belly, and sque
JEZEBEL’S POVI let out a relaxed breath as I placed my hand on my chest, feeling my fast heartbeat, gradually reducing its pace. It could have been Martha and I who would have been arrested or sort, but I felt glad that things didn’t turn out that way.~flashback~“Ma’am, Alpha Max has ordered for the arrest of Martha.” A maid informed me, and I rose to my feet instantly.“What! Why is that?” I demanded an answer from her.“She was the one who poisoned you, ma’am.”My eyeballs danced from left to right, and I felt mu blood go cold. I had totally forgotten that Max could do anything to find out what happened me.MY heart began to beat fast as I thought of the possibility of Martha, telling the truth. I hurried out of the room immediately, and headed for the living room.The first person my eyes fell on was Martha. She was being cuffed, and I rubbed my thumb and index finger each other, thinking of what to do.I walked down the stairs, and towards her, then grabbed her collar.“Tell m

DAISY’S POV“Bye, mom!” Both Aidan and Nadia waved at me, with excited smiles on their face, and I couldn’t help but feel this sweetness to have them in my life.They were the best gifts which nature could ever give me.Max had also gone to work, and I was literally the only one left, in the house. “I guess today will be visiting John-day.” I said to myself as I climbed the stairs, heading to my room to get myself prepared to go out as well.When I got to my room, I put a call through to John.“Hey, John. Mind if we meet, today?” I asked, hoping he wasn’t busy at that moment.“Yeah, sure, we can. At the same venue.” He responded.“Roger that!”We ended the call after that, and I got myself prepared.After I was done with my preparation, I headed out of the house, and was driven out by my driver, to the usual restaurant where we met.On getting there, I walked into the restaurant, and spotted John at the last corner of the restaurant, then I walked up to him, with a smile.“Here.” He
MAX’ POVThe next day, I went to see the executive in the hospital. I had been unable to see him the previous evening because he was sleeping, and I didn't want to interrupt his sleep. He was sitting up, watching the news when I came in.“Alpha Max…” He said, trying to get to his feet, but I stopped him.“How are you feeling?” I asked, and placed the fruits I got for him on the little table over his legs. “I’m sorry. I…”“You're sorry? That was none of your fault.”“A reporter came by and saw me injured.”“Oh yeah, that reporter? He came to threaten me.” I said, with a laugh. “What? How dare he?”“Let him be. Just focus on your health.”“I'm healing already. It was a deep gash, but I'm already healing. Even if he speaks to the public, I'm going to tell them I had no injury, and came here for something entirely different.”“You don't have to do that…” I began, but he shook his head.“A few of my colleagues came and told me the whole story. Alex was such a sweet boy, and in exchange,
DAISY’S POVI felt the urge to ask him why he had been staring, but the situation was just too eerie for me to bother asking. Who knew what it could lead to, if I actually tried to ask?Without wasting much time, I picked up all that I wanted to get, and then paid for it, even without collecting the change as I had told the seller not to bother.Just as I began to head back to where Max and our children were, I heard quickened footsteps behind me, and I almost screamed, if not that he jumped right in front of me.Although, I gasped in shock as I wasn’t expecting him to pop up just in front of me.“Why are you stalking me!” I voiced out, trying to muster up the courage to confront him.But then, he chuckled, and swept his flying hair, to the back.“Stalk you? You just met me at the shop. There’s no way I was stalking you.”“But you kept staring at me.”“Oh, that? I was admiring you. I love the way you look. You are a very beautiful woman.” He complimented me, staring at me with lustful
DAISY’S POV“Daisy? Wow. Been a long while.” Two of the neighbors who came in, uttered as they looked at me in surprise.I only smiled shyly at them, and they looked so happy to see me.“Why are you all being so nice? Isn’t she a wicked daughter? She hasn’t been here, in years to see her father, and only came when I sent a text to her. You don’t deserve to live among us.” Mrs. Dane shouted at the top of her voice.Surprisingly, the other neighbors urged her to leave, and even had to drag her awayAlthough, my step-father wasn’t a man I loved, because he made me dislike him, especially because of the pain he made me go through, but I felt sorry for his death.“What was the cause of his death?” I asked, out of curiosity.“He died of kidney stones, due to his bad drinking habit, Daisy.” Mrs. Powell answered me, softly. “I’ll take you to his grave.” She offered, and I had to wait for her to get properly dressed before she took me to his grave which wasn’t really far, so we didn’t need to
MAX’ POVAbout thirty minutes had passed since I got a call from the cops, and then all of a sudden, my phone rang. when I glanced at it, I noticed it was Nicholas who was calling. So, I answered his call.“What’s the update?” I asked him as he was with the cops, the whole time.And for him to have been the one to call me, I didn’t think they had any luck in finding Jezebel’s body. “Her body is missing. She might have been devoured by the creatures.” He informed me, and I sighed. “Alright then. Talk to you later.”As I dropped the call, I sighed deeply again. Well, if they had searched over and over, than it meant that she was really gone. Although, it was quite disturbing that I didn’t see it with my naked eyes, but I had no choice than to give up on the search.It also annoyed me that I kept getting worried over someone who had done many worse things to I, Daisy and our children. I shook my head, and decided to forget about her, since she wasn’t even supposed to be in my head, at
JEZEBEL’S POV“Good. A face-lock.” He uttered as he stared at the phone, and began to walk up to me.“No. No. Don’t do this.” I spoke, shaking my head as he walked up to me.But then, he held my head firmly, without seeming violent, and all, and the phone unlocked, then he let my head free.“Let go of my phone! Let go!” I yelled at him, feeling rage, build up from inside me.But then, he didn’t say a word as he walked up to the bed, and sat as he scrolled through the messages. I was doomed.I could see how his facial expression changed from being curious to one of rage. Before I could make out what was happening in his head, he rose to his feet, and dashed towards me. He raised me to my feet, and pinned my throat to the wall.“How could you do this to me, despite all that I have done to you!” Max growled at me, with rage, clearly seen in his eyes.My heart was thumping hard and loud that I thought it was going to beat out of my mouth. It was even challenging to gulp down my saliva at
JEZEBEL’S POVNoticing that they had gotten the description of the garage, I had to act fast on it. Immediately, I excused myself from the room, and then went to the balcony in our room to make a call.“Hello ma’am.” Darwin spoke, over the phone.“I need you all to get your asses out of the garage. They just found out where the garage is, and anytime soon, they’ll be on their way. Ensure you leave no trace.” I instructed him, firmly.“Alright, ma’am. On it.” He voiced out, and then I hung up.I stepped out of the room only to see Max, Nicholas and some other men, going out of the palace. My heart felt troubled as I wasn’t certain of how fast those men could be, in clearing out all traces that could give us away.“Goodness.” I muttered under my breath as I bit my fingernails, feeling anxious and worried about how things were going to turn out.I walked back into the room, and sat on the bed, scrolling through my phone, several times, doing nothing in particular. Just before anything e
MAX’ POVMy phone rang, and when I brought it out of my pocket, I discovered it was Jezebel who was calling me, so I answered the call.“Hey, baby.” She spoke, with so much joy, felt in her voice.I walked towards the balcony, and stepped out to take her call.“Hi love. How are you doing?” I asked as I dipped my other hand into my pocket.“I’m okay. I was missing you so much, today, so I had to call, to check up on you.” She said, and chuckled.I smiled, and sighed.“What’s wrong, baby?” She asked, noticing the difference in my behavior.“A lot happened, while you weren’t around.”“What do you mean by that? What’s going on, babe?” She asked again, sounding concerned.“Nadia was abducted, and was even poisoned, as they already told us they were going to finish her off, last night.”Jezebel let out a sharp gasp. “Are you for real?” She questioned, sounding like she was finding it difficult to believe me.“You know there are no jokes when it comes to topics like this. She could have give
JEZEBEL’S POVI was still feeling the pain of the mistake which those men had made, last night, and I just couldn’t get over it. Even what I had to do to them, still annoyed me, as well, because now wasn’t the time to waste men.~flashback~“Gosh! You. Silly. Scumbags!” I yelled as I kicked the three of them, one by one, out of anger.“We’re sorry, ma’am.” They apologized, in a trembling tone.“What the hell! How could you make such a silly mistake!” I yelled at them, at the top of my voice.“We’re sorry, ma’am. We felt she wouldn’t be able to escape as we had already injected her with the poison.”“She managed to escape from here, and yet, we still can’t find her, outside. Can you just see how much this mistake of yours, has cost?” I questioned them, feeling my blood boil, and unable to see how possible it was, for me to calm down.Venting my anger on them, wasn’t enough. I had to spill blood.I brought out a gun, pointed it at them, and shot them, one by one, until they fell dead.~
DAISY’S POVIt was evening already, and so much tears had been shed to an extent that my eyes were giving me a burning sensation. Yet, more tears streamed down my eyes as I thought more and more of what they could be doing to my daughter.I dreaded the next message they were going to send to me was going to be Nadia’s dead body. There was no way I could bear that. I wouldn’t feel alive, anymore; neither would I forgive myself for not being able to protect her, regardless of if I was present, or not.“Goodness.” I muttered under my breath as I kept waiting, for a message from them.The time was 8pm, and that was obviously late into the night, so why would they not have sent a message, at all? Did they change their mind, or were they cooking something different, up?I looked towards my window, staring at the night sky, pleadingly, hoping that I would hear nothing but good news. Hour by hour, time passed, even until 11pm, and yet, no news. I couldn’t think straight anymore, and so many
