“I’m actually heading downstairs to have breakfast” I tell Ace over the phone as I walk to the stairs and start descending. I look down in the living room where I spot Asher and Kyle seated on opposite chairs with Kyle giving Asher a murderous glare while Asher’s attention is focused on the news showing on TV. These men will never change.
“Ace, I have to go now, Kyle is here and he doesn’t look too good right now. Asher made him wait for two whole hours while I slept. I can only imagine the anger that’s boiling in his heart right now”
“Asher can definitely take a life for you”
“Apparently”
“Alright then, I’ll leave You now. I love you Luna”
“I love you Ace” I say with my eyes closed and I can feel my own words stab my heart like a thousand daggers. Those word I’m not supposed to say to him. I am officially a fiancé snatcher.

ACE’S POVIt’s been a while since Alaric and I last saw each other so we decided to meet today at Monte plaza to have lunch together. Kyle was supposed to join us but he got tied up at work.Yeah, ever since that man to man talk we had at that suite, we have been meeting up time an again to share a drink or two. I hope that one day we become very good friends again.I get a massage notification and when I tap on it, I smile foolishly when I see a photo of Luna and another girl. A text follows and I read in my mind.“Asher’s spoiling Alora and I today, it’s his day of” I chuckle as I read again.“Have you lost it already?” Alaric asks with a frown. “What’s with the foolish smile?”“Check this Out “ I give him my phone to look at the photo.“Whoa
SOPHIA’S POV“Why on earth do you have finger prints on your left cheek?” My cousin, Seven, asks concerned the moment I step into his office. Without uttering a word, I walk over to him and hug him tight as I burst into tears.I just made the biggest mistake of my life.“Sophia” He calls softly. “It’s okay sugar, calm down” He coos as he gently rubs my back. “Come on, let’s seat down” He leads me to the sitting area and we both sit on the couch. “What’s wrong Sophia” He asks worried.“I’ve fucked up big time seven” I say between sobs.“What did you do?”“I attacked Luna. I…I… we…we bumped…” I
ASHER’S POVI park my car in the garage, alight from it and walk to the door where l type my security code and walk in. Just the thought of seeing Luna and hugging her makes me excited. She has been on my mind all day and I can’t wait to see her beautiful face.I love Luna, I love her so much that it kills me internally to know that she loves someone else. All can do is hope that destiny plays her games and sets us together. I don’t want impose my feelings on her. I will never do that.“Hey bro” Alora greets as she kisses my cheeks.“Hey cupcake, how are you doing?”“I’m okay, how was work today?”“Exciting, got a new case at hand”
CHAPTER FIFTY-FIVEALORA’S POVMy brother’s love for Luna will take him to his early grave. I have never seen Asher so desperate and helpless before. I know he loves Luna but I don’t think I know to what extent that love runs. After witnessing his state last night, all I can conclude is that his love for Luna has no end, it knows no bounds.I have never seen my brother drunk before but last night he was totally wasted and he reeked of alcohol and sex. I didn’t meet him with any girl but I know that my brother had sex with a random girl last night and right now I’m going into his bedroom to find out who the girl was.I arrive at his bedroom door and I’m surprised to find it slightly open. Asher is a guy who is obsessed with privacy, but he’s very cunning too. He has been
CHAPTER FIFTY-SIXLUNA’S POVAsher deliberately refused to see me when I got back home last night. He had locked himself up his study and claimed to be busy. I clearly understand the reason for his actions and to be honest I would react the same way if I were in his shoes. Right now I really feel bad for ditching my plans of giving him a chance. The moment Ace mentioned that he wanted to be with me, everything changed. I couldn’t help but accept to be his woman.I sincerely love Ace and I want to be with him and nothing will stop me. All this while I tried to be considerate with Sophia despite our rough past. I didn’t want to snatch her man away from her but she pushed me to the wall. She started by sending threat messages then she attacked me at the restroom at the mall. My waist still hurts from that fall and when I think of all the mean things she did to me in high school, I just can’t help but want to pay her back
CHAPTER FIFTY-SEVENACE’S POVBack to presentUntil this moment, I still can’t process what I did with Sophia last night.I still cannot believe that Sophia and I had sex. Everything happened so fast. One minute I was fine and taking my bath and the next minute I felt like I was on fire and my dick was as hard as basalt. The kind of sexual urge I felt last night was not ordinary, it’s like I was being controlled. Sophia only worsened the issue when she showed up in my bedroom with a see through night gown beneath which she was completely naked, I couldn’t control my urge and before I know it we already on my bed.I had sworn to stay loyal to Luna, I told her I was going to call off the wedding. If this news gets to her she’s going to be very angry and disappointed in me. It might even strain thi
CHAPTER FIFTY EIGHTLUNA’S POVIt’s been a few days since I was discharged from the hospital, a few days since I ended everything with Ace. He has been calling and I keep sending his calls to voice mail. I don’t want to listen to anything he has to say, Ace always has his way with words and right now I don’t want him to convince me into forgiving him.It was very wrong of me to ever think that Ace and I could actually be a couple. What was l even thinking? Ace can never fall out of love with Sophia completely, she’s his long time child hood friend and fiancé, he will always love her no matter what. I was fool to think that he could ever love or chose me over Sophia. It has always been about Sophia. The reality of the truth stabs my heart like a thousand daggers and all I can do is cry.I love Ace, I sincerely love him and I wonder
CHAPTER FIFTY-NINEASHER’S POV“How’s she?” I ask the moment Alora walks into my bedroom.“Confused, depressed, angry. I’m scared for her” She says as she sits by my side.“Luna is a tough girl, she’ll get through this”“ Are you sure?”“I can bet my life on that. Ace brought her home”“He did?” She asks surprised.“Yes, he did. Alora, what if he’s telling the truth? What if he really had sex with Sophia under some influence like he claims?”“Asher, whet are you driving at?”“Do you honestly think that Ace in his right mind will let Sophia make a sex video between them, given his relationship with Luna?”“Are you t

Once in a while, she spends the night with Asher and Alora.So far, everything is moving smoothly, even though we all wish that Sophia was alive to complete the circle.Sophia wasn’t bad at all, the only thing that made her the way she was, was her obsession with me.

CHAPTER SIXTY-SEVEN“What the actual hell is doing on here?” Alora asks astonished the moment I walk into in the living room with Sophia cuddled up in my arms.Seven soon left the hospital for an urgent business deal and there was no one else with her and I couldn’t just leave her there.My house was the best option at that moment.“Not now Alora”“I don’t want her here!” Alora screams furiously and I look at her in awe. The feud between them runs deeper than I thought“Look, there was no one at the hospital to look after her or better still take her home, I couldn’t just leave her there”“Yes you could?, I won’t care if she rots there!”“Alora she is carrying your niece or nephew, you need to be a bit considerate towards her rig

Our mothers did a great job organizing this wedding. It’s indeed the talk of the town.The flock of journalists aligned outside with their myriad of cameras makes it look more of a red carpet show than a wedding.I scan the mighty hall that is actually filled with people and everyone is so quiet and elegantly dressed.

The thought of loosing Ace to Sophia stabs my heart every time I think of it.How I wish things could be different.I lost the son, it’s so unfair that I have to lose the father too. I wish I could just snap my finger and everything turns out the way I want them to be.I just want to be with Ace.A knock on the door snaps me out of my thoughts and I go to open it.

CHAPTER SIXTY-ONEKYLE’S POVI finally get Alora to sleep after several minutes of her wailing and cursing. I clearly understand her pain. Alora and Luna are more than just best friends, more of twin sisters who have got a special connection. They met in junior high school and since then, they have been inseparable.I don’t just see her as my sister’s best friend, she is my baby sister too and I love her to bits.
