JEZEBEL’S POVI crossed my legs while sitting on the couch as I fixed my eyes on the TV. Feeling elated was an understatement, I just had a really good feeling that things were going to work out for my good.“Martha, get me a cup of tea.” I instructed a maid who stood at a distance to take any of my orders at any time.“Yes, ma’am.” She responded, then left to the kitchen to do the necessary.Shortly after she left, my phone rang and I reached out my hand to my phone which was on the small table beside me.“Yeah, hello.” I spoke as I placed the phone against my ear.“Good day, ma’am.”“Good day. Cut to the chase. How did it go?” I asked, impatiently.“The mission fell through, ma’am. I couldn’t do anything more than inject a little.”“What do you mean you couldn’t do further than injecting a little! What the hell does that mean!?” I questioned with my brows raised.“The doctor walked in and thankfully, he didn’t see me when I withdrew the syringe, but I barely escaped with a good excus
MAX’ POV“I think you need to go see her immediately.” Daisy said, with a poker expression.I didn’t notice the call was on speaker until Daisy had spoken out regarding what had happened.“Uhm… I’ll have Nicholas come over to take you and Nadia home.” I said to her as I raised my phone to my ear, listening to the dialing tone until the call connected.“Nicholas, I need you to come over to the hospital right now to take Nadia and Daisy home.” I instructed him.“I’ll be there, shortly.” He responded calmly over the phone.We didn’t have to wait for long before I sighted his car.“Is anything wrong?" he asked as he got down from the car.“There’s a situation with Jezebel. Will talk to you later.” I said to him as I handed Daisy and Nadia over to Nicholas. I turned back to my car immediately Daisy and Nadia got into Nicholas car, and then I drove off to the hospital which Jezebel was taken to. Martha had sent me the location details after my call with her, and thankfully, it wasn’t too fa
JEZEBEL’S POVIt had been days since Max had been making me bask in the fullness of his presence by giving me enough time and love. But then, the only annoying thing that didn’t get me completely satisfied was the fact that he still kept hovering around Daisy and everything concerning her.This only made me regret the times I had told him I didn’t want to get pregnant, if not Daisy would have never been in the picture.Suddenly, a knock interrupted my thoughts and I glanced towards the door, feeling irritated as it came at the wrong time.“Come in.” I urged whoever was at the door.Then Martha walked in with her head bowed.“Ma’am. Alpha Max is back, and he’s back with Daisy, and her children.” Martha informed me respectfully. “Her children?” I repeated in a question-like manner.“Yes, ma’am.”If Martha meant her children, then it meant Aidan was back? Oh, goodness. Now that he’s at the pack house, what’s going to become of me?I quickly got down from the bed, and hurried out of the r
JEZEBEL’S POVI had called my driver over as I wasn’t certain I could drive well if I decided to. Although I didn’t drink much, there was no way my mind wouldn’t wander back to my encounter at the bar, while driving, which was quite dangerous.“There is traffic congestion around here, ma’am. I’ll be taking a U-turn to get to drive through a place which is much better.” My driver informed me, and I nodded.What was on my mind was a lot right now, and most disturbing of all was the conversation I had with Kyle.~flashback~“Kyle?” I repeated, shocked, but tried to hide it so he doesn’t think of me as a weakling.“Yes. Without beating around the bush…” He paused as he dragged his bar stool close to mine. “I think we might be able to partner up on something.” Kyle said to me, and smirked.At that point, I got wary of him. What exactly could Kyle and I have in common that would make him feel we could partner up? He was obviously a tricky man which meant I ought to beware, and not trust too
DAISY’S POVTwo of the men in masks entered the car immediately and got into the back seat with me, while the other two got into the front seat.“Help! Please don’t hurt me.” I pleaded to them after yelling, but they brought out a handkerchief and then covered my nose up with it until I sniffed in whatever it was laced with.~ The next time I opened my eyes, I found myself in a strange place. It was a bit dark, but I could see things around me. Looking at the structure, no penetration of sunlight, it seemed more like I had been put into an underground, or possibly, a basement.Then I began to hear the sound of heels tapping on the ground. Could it be that a woman ordered this abduction? Who on earth would be against me when all I have ever done is to stay low and be gentle?“It feels so good to see you in my grasp, Daisy.” I heard a familiar voice speak, and echo a bit.I couldn’t look to the back because of the way my hands were tied, and that only made me nervous. She could decide t
JEZEBEL'S POV"Shit!" I cursed under my breath.This son of a b*tch was getting on my nerves, and I wished I could just snap him into two, but I had to keep myself calm. "Alright then. Since you're so scared of needles, I'll let you be, just this time." I uttered as I withdrew from him, and went back to the front seat.It was best if I didn't force him to take in the needle or he would be so suspicious about it, and would eventually tell Max about it.Certainly, Max wasn't going to take it lightly. He himself would be so suspicious about it, and I wouldn't want that.There would be no harm if I didn't sedate him. After all, I didn't plan on hurting him, and it would not affect my plan; not even a little."We're heading home. So, sit tight." I urged him and started the car.I turned on slow music and hummed to it happily as things were going smoothly. To make it better, there was no traffic congestion.In no time, we got home."You can get down, prince." I urged him with a smile, and
JEZEBEL'S POVAll through, none of them were able to respond to my calls, and that got me pissed and anxious. Oh, goodness. I really do hope those fools used a burner phone for that. I turned to leave the garden immediately, heading to the living room, only to discover that both Max and Nicholas were no longer in the living room. "Oh, shit!" I cursed out loud as I looked around.I was going to come over to check the situation of things before I would go out to warn those men to get the hell out of that place.They had probably gotten the location of where they were and heading out to the building.Hold on. Those men can't possibly be fools who won't use a burner phone."Hey, you. Where is my husband?" I questioned a maid who was passing by."The Alpha actually went out with Nicholas and a few guards." She informed me, respectfully.Blood rushed through my veins and I felt horrified. I had to drive off to the place before they would get there before me.I headed out of the house and
Max's POVI sat on the spacious bed with Daisy, with an arm over her shoulder, patting her, and the other hand, holding hers. The fear, and shock was still evident on her face, and I doubted she'd actually be able to find sleep.Her eyes stared into blank space, and her fingers were cold, and sweaty. “Are you still scared?” I asked her. When she had laid the twins to bed, I didn't think she looked as scared as she did at the moment.“I would be a liar if I denied it. I'm thinking hard right now.” She said, without looking at me. Her eyebrows remained furrowed, and I sighed. “There's no need to be scared. You're home now. No one will hurt you here.”“Really?” She asked, finally turning to me. Although there was a tiny pinch of sarcasm in her voice. “No one will hurt me? I'm so scared that I don't think I can get a wink of sleep. I don't even think I can eat, without wondering if the next attack is in the food. I… Can I even stay? I'm too scared to stay.” She lamented, and I could fee
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
