DAISY’S POVThe days rolled by, and although not many people recalled the incident where I was abducted. I had dreams of it, and they were all haunting. Each was worse than the last, and I always woke up in the middle of the night. A glass of water, and checking on the kids always helped me calm down, and remind myself that I was fine.Just then, the twins walked into my room, talking. “Mommy, we're almost done with our homework, and I suggested tending the flowers, since it is the weekend, but Aidan wants to play. Shouldn't he be more careful with his health?” Nadia asked, while Aidan folded his arms.“Do you want to play?” I asked Nadia, as I arranged the things on my desk.“Yes mom but…”“Then play with Aidan. Take care that he does not run, jump or get too excited. Act like his mom while you play.” I said, and she seemed excited. “I get to be his mom?” “No way.” Aidan replied, walking out the room, and she followed. I smiled, looking at them as they went. Max had decided to s
JEZEBEL’S POVMy heart skipped a beat the moment he said those words. I couldn’t bring myself to believe that those words had actually come out from his mouth. Someone who had told me several times about how much he loved me, and how Daisy would never take my place.But for him to say such a word, it meant it had crossed his mind before. Now, it felt like I was walking on fire coals. I had to be careful, or any wrong move from me, could cause him to do what he had just said.“Did you really mean that?” I questioned, trying to stop my batting eyelids from allowing my tears, fall. That would be embarrassing, especially in Daisy’s presence.The pain that went through my heart like lightning, was unbearable, and just staring at Daisy’s face got me angrier. I walked out on them immediately, and headed out of the house.I got into my car, and hit the road. The night sky seemed so bright today, but then, inside of me, it wasn't bright. The man I had loved, and always managed to keep wrapped
Jezebel’s povI woke up the next morning, feeling much more relaxed, and pleased. Last night felt so good, and just thinking about last night’s experience, made me jolt out of bed immediately. If I had truly had sex with someone last night, who was it?“Oh, goodness. I messed up.” I uttered under my breath as I held the bedcover to my chest, and wrapped it around me, immediately.The person I had sex with, would determine if I was in trouble or not, and I couldn’t afford for this to get out to the public, let alone Max, who I could feel was slipping out of my hands, gradually.Then the door knob was pulled down, and I stared at the man’s legs, stepped out of the bathroom, and landed on the foot mat.My eyes gradually scanned up to his face, and a gasp escaped my lungs, instantly.“Kyle?” I voiced out softly, finding it difficult to understand what was going on.“You’re awake. I’m sure you enjoyed your night, just the way I did.” He said as he walked up to me, with a towel, tied around
JEZEBEL’S POVI moved a step backward, unable to handle the feeling of his stern expression he gave me.“Are you sure about this, and not pulling my legs. Because Jezebel, if you are pulling my legs, unnecessarily, on something you know I take very seriously, I won’t take it lightly with you.” He warned, sternly.That sent chills down my spine. I understood that he would feel very hurt, and annoyed if he found out that it was a lie, and that made my hands sweat out. What made me very nervous was the fact that he could decide to take me to the hospital at this very moment, and I hadn't prepared anything beforehand.Oh, goodness. I picked the wrong time to speak carelessly.But then, letting him see how nervous he was making me feel, would only make him suspect that there was a high chance that I was lying, and that would be the end of it.No matter how corne
DAISY’S POVThe 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’ 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
