Anna's Pov For some time now, there has been calmness in the city. Work has resumed as usual and people are working freely but with caution.My daughter's presence distracted me."Mom, when am I starting my dance class?"I looked at her and saw how eager she wanted to resume again."Sweetheart, the city is still not okay for me to take you out. Besides, your teacher has not called me to inform me of the resumption" I said, arranging her hair."Okay,"Ella walked in on us, "I think these children are tired of staying indoors, what about we take them out in the evening for a stroll, at least to feel the natural air""I understand you but don't know if it feels safe out there"I stood up and moved close to the window, holding the curtain and looking through. I saw adults and children walking and talking."Maybe we can give it a trial this evening but we won't go far""Agreed"I dismissed my daughter to go join her brother so that I could discuss it with Ella."Something bothering me all
Anna's PovI was up very early since I couldn't sleep comfortably at night. I quickly sent a message to my boss telling her that I wouldn't be able to come to work.I prepared a hot coffee, poured it into my cup and carried it with both hands carefully.It has been a long time since I made such hot coffee but that morning was different. I haven't been that way for a very long time.Maybe because of what I experienced last night. I was still in my thick black jacket with my long yellow pants and a pair of black socks.I drew the chair to the window where I could view the environment. I sank inside the chair, slipped the coffee and allowed it to hurt my throat for a while."Hmm, it's been a long while since I sat like this to think about a lot. I deserve this break"My phone buzzed in my pocket. I seeped my hand and brought it out, and it was a message from my boss.Anna, I will permit you because you are dedicated to your work. You can choose to rest for the rest of this week. Enjoy yo
Katherine's Pov "Kat, you have been so moody since yesterday"Her calm voice almost brought me to tears, "How do you expect me to be happy? When you allow dad to talk down at me""But you know he is right"I stared at her for a moment and kept my cool."He is very pained that you couldn't get Arnold to yourself despite everything you did to Anna and making sure that she doesn't have him""Did you inform him that Anna has a child?"My mother's lips was moving but I couldn't hear anything from her."You are yet to answer my question""You know your dad wouldn't be happy to hear that."I felt irritated by that "Oh! So you don't want him to feel bad but I am the one to be blamed for everything, right?"I stood up in anger. She held my hand but I separated mine from hers and clasped them together, staring at her."Who exactly do you love since you are no longer interested in Arnold?""Keith,""Who is this Keith and what do you love about him?""Everything Mom! He treats me better than Arn
Oh, wow! He looks like a prince. I had to compose myself so that I wouldn't miss my steps and fall off the stairs. That will be the most embarrassing moment, especially for my dad.I had to quickly wear a smiling face. I can't tell if it was fake or real.I could tell that the visitor was wowed as he stood up to welcome me. I brought out my hand to give him a handshake but he hugged me instead. I noticed the way my parents looked at themselves and smiled.He pulled out a chair beside him and asked me to sit down. I sat down comfortably, I was happy that for the first time, my eye beheld a very calm, handsome soon-to-be Alpha."I think you both should do a proper introduction," my father said joyfully."Sure, she looks so pretty. I wasn't expecting to see a pretty damsel in your pack when you invited me over"It was now obvious that my father planned this visit.He looked straight into my eyes, it was piercing that I became shy."I am Ezra" his charming voice pierced through my skin. I
Elizabeth's Pov I don't know why I no longer have an interest in my husband. It has been a long time since he traveled and since then I have been faithful but after I overheard my daughter talking about one Keith giving her all she desires more than Arnold, I came to realize that happiness lies in what a man can offer.I sneaked into her room one night and searched for the contact line of Keith and now that she has gone out and won't be back for a while, it's time I invite him over.I dialed the number and it rang."Hi," I heard from the other end."Sorry to have bothered you but this is Kathrine's mother""Oh! Nice to hear from you and how is she doing?""She is doing fine. Do you mind coming over to our place? I want to have some words with you""Wow! Will be on my way quickly. I don't have much I am doing now""Alright, I'll be expecting you"I hung up immediately and rushed to the bathroom to shower. I have to keep myself clean. I need young blood rather than the old man I am tal
Elizabeth's Pov "Don't worry, I will talk to her""I thought you said that she went far, how come she returned?"How do I make him forget about what happened because it is my business and not his?"Please don't worry about that. I will handle it"Keith hugged me and left. I could see the happiness in his eyes. We enjoyed the whole thing. I am happy she didn't interrupt us.I just hope she won't report to my husband because that is where I have another problem.Not quite long after, my husband arrived."Welcome back"He replied but kept yawning seriously. "Seems you are hungry. Let me quickly prepare something for you""Where is Kat?"For the first time, he is calling her name in short. "She stepped out, I guess she went to pay him a visit"I wasn't sure but mentioning that would make him very happy."Oh! That's lovely. They need to know themselves more"I just nodded my head that he was correct and headed to the kitchen. I was preparing the food and was so happy because I felt differ
From Anna's Desk"Where are you heading this morning?""Ella, I am rushing out, I heard that there is a situation at hand and if it is not tackled, then we would be in trouble."Ella who was stuffing pop corn in her mouth paused, allowing some to fall off from her mouth."Trouble," she slowly said.I was busy arranging my hair, "Please take good care of yourself and the kids. I am running late."I left the house and rushed to the office. I rushed to greet my boss and she told me that there was an emergency meeting.I quickly went into the conference room where we hold our meetings. Everyone was already seated and it dawned on me that I was I late.The Detective began to tell us that another city close to Vegas is having a serious problem and it has to be tackled as soon as possible.They have pleaded on us to help them and rescue them from whatever the attack is.He went ahead to address is that certain group of people will be assigned to go there. Accommodation will be assigned to th
Anna's Desk The break was over and I invited them back to continued from where we stopped."Alright, please go ahead and make your explanations, let's sew how far we would go"I turned to Jones to continue because she started first and I know from my instinct that she is saying the truth."Go ahead"******I have gone to Selena's house to bring her over to my place so that we could look after her. Because I was scared that her new life will make her loose it one day."You are coming with me to my place today but you will be visiting home. Agreed?"Selena nodded her head in acceptance, if not Sarah her sister, wouldn't allow her to leave."Thank you so much Sarah for allowing me to do this. She will be back soon and you will see great change""Selena, do not forget us. Try as much as possible to stay alive for us"Selena chuckled. She found what her mother was saying amusing."I will come to visit soon," Sarah said to me.I stopped a cab and told him where to stop us. Selena wanted to
