DAISY’S POV
The cool of the night made things seem peaceful, even at the dining table. I glanced at Jezebel as she ate, while smiling. I couldn’t just bring myself to believe that she was actually pregnant. The kind of person she had portrayed herself to be, over the years, only made me find things she said unbelievable.
I had overheard when she informed Max that she was pregnant, and that only seemed like a scheme to me. But then, scheme or not, I felt a bit worried about what would happen to me next. Max could end up treating me less than he has been treating me, all this while, and even more like a breeder.
It wouldn’t be considered unfair, to people because initially, and even now, I have the breeder title, on.
Well, I shouldn’t also fold my arms and watch her spin and plan things that would only affect my children and me. More importantly, I had to protect my children fro
JEZEBEL’S POVRegardless of whatever situation I was in, I wasn’t going to allow myself to look defeated or caught red-handed, especially not by Daisy. “You’re speaking on baseless things, Daisy. You are just scared and jealous of me. In case you aren’t aware, my baby is even more real than your children. There would be no use of you, anymore.” I uttered, and walked out on her, leaving her to dwell on the words I had said.It would certainly crush her and make her feel like her time and era has really ended. But then, her guts this time, really got me pissed. I headed back to my room, and on getting to my room, I hit the wall, out of frustration.I wouldn’t want anyone to destroy whatever I was planning, and for Daisy to have made mention of the fake pregnancy even when it was obvious, she wasn’t sure, it meant only one thing; that she was suspecting something was off.“Well, Daisy, you can only suspect, but can never find out.” I uttered under my breath, staring at the mirror with a
KYLE’S POVI shut the door behind me, the moment I walked out of the room which I had made Jezebel stay in. Discussions seemed to be smooth with her, and somehow, our minds synced most times, on ideas like this.I walked down the stairs, and headed to the mini bar at the left corner close to the living room. This was actually a good place to rent, for the meantime. At least, it won’t make me miss home, for a while, until I’m done with my mission, here.I picked a bourbon bottle, and poured myself a drink in my tumbler, then I raised it up to my lips to have a good sip of it.“Mm! Tastes good.” I voiced out, and closed my eyes to savor the perfect taste.Drinking bourbon when you have had a bright day was perfect as it elevated one’s mood, more.“Good day, Alpha Kyle.” Darko, my right-hand man
Max's POVI needed to do something about this before it would be too late to save her and our baby. Tracing her phone didn’t work, when we brought an expert to do the work, and it was depressing.“What do we do?” Nicholas asked as he came back from escorting my visitor out.“I haven’t thought of any other way out of this.” I replied as I let out a deep sigh.“Hold on. I thought you placed a tracker on her car. Did you remove it?” Nicholas reminded me as he moved closer to my office table. “Oh, Yes! The tracker! Why didn’t I think of this? I didn’t remove it.” I was so lost in thinking about her safety that I had forgotten about it.There was a time I felt a bit bad for placing a tracker on her car, because she had once talked about not making guards follow her everywhere. And due to how much I loved her, I could have removed the tracker out of her car, out of respect, even though what I meant for her was safety.I opened up my second laptop, and then checked out her whereabouts, and
MAX’ POVAs we got to the pack house, I pulled up the car, and got out with Jezebel.“Are you okay?” I asked her again as we headed into the pack house, and she nodded while she leaned on me.It was so annoying that the brain behind Jezebel’s abduction was dead. Well, that would not be the end. The very day I would set my eyes on them, I would get back at them, in multiple folds.Right before we got to the pack house, we had gone to the hospital, and ran a quick check-up on her to be certain that no harm had been done to her. Thankfully, it turned out to be good news. They didn’t lay a hand on her, and the baby was fine, and healthy.As we walked in, the maids scurried towards us and welcomed us back, especially her.“I want you to take extra care of her.” I instructed them, and they all responded respectfully, then I t
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
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
