"Do you mind coming to the Moon Mansion so we can go over these numbers and expenses with my father? He was the one in charge. Tia and I just took over recently." I said to her, and she sighed and nodded. "I will be there soon, Alpha," she said, and we ended the call. I could not believe what was
I was proud of my brother. I was glad he took my side. I wasn't expecting it, but he had surprised me. He had supported me even though I knew he still cared for Tia, but somehow he had found a way to care for her differently. I was proud of him, and I hoped our bond would continue to grow. It felt g
Luke. I hurried back to my wing to inform Tia of the meeting. Stacy's silence was unbelievable, and I hoped for all our sakes she would come clean. Tia sat quietly on the couch in the sitting area, and I knew she was deep in her thoughts. " What's the matter, darling?" I asked and she looked at m
"Did your sources tell you his last known location?" I asked him, and he shook his head. "He dropped off the radar when I attacked Neev. They believed he died during that war, but now we know he is very much alive. He could be anywhere right now." He said and looked at me. "What if she still sees
Stacy. Caleb and Luke left me alone, and I rested on the bed. I had left my door open deliberately so Aesop could see what he had done to me. He had broken my heart completely. I never did anything to him. I have loved him since I met him, but he never failed to point out my flaws, comparing me wit
While waiting, I remembered how innocent I was when I met Regan. His father had just died, and he was alone, standing by the streetlight. I had gone out to look for food. My father was ill, and my sister had run away to Cleeve to be with her lover. It was only my mother and me. She accused me of bei
"Give me another chance. Please. I will never speak to Tia or Luke. I will never speak to anyone again. In fact, I will stay away from breakfast. I will only do what you want me to do. I will never go against you." I said and went on my knees when I found out nothing I was saying was getting through
I decided that if Aesop chose to kick me out permanently, he would be burying my corpse because there was no way I was going back to the life that I detested so much. I was lying down thinking of my life when my phone started ringing. I checked to see who it was and it was an unknown number. I inst
Grand aunty Ummul passed away a year ago, and we still miss her, especially Emma and Chloe. We had learned sign language because of her. We did not mourn too much because we knew she had gone to rest. Luke was glad we could care for her a little longer before she died. Aunty Amira was married with c
"You missed breakfast," Luke said, and she looked away. I noticed a hickey on her neck. She saw that I noticed and tried to cover it. "Come on, Luke, Aunty Amirah can come for breakfast whenever," I told him, and she smiled at me. Not wanting him to say anything else, I urged him to move on. "I ho
Tia SIX MONTHS LATER Luke and I woke up late, so we had to rush to prepare for breakfast. Chloe and James were peaceful babies, and even though they had nannies, we checked on them at night to ensure they were alright. They were a blessing. Paul was growing well too. Doctor Khalifa had said his he
"Stacy.." he managed with his deep voice., but it sounded weak and defeated. I looked up gradually, and his eyes were filled with tears. "I am sorry, Stacy. I was mean to you. I should have made more effort. I should have loved you harder. I take all the blame," he said, and I shook my head and sto
Stacy. I spent three months missing Aesop. It was hard. Sometimes I wished I didn't leave, but I needed time alone. All my life, I had been in someone's shadow. First, it was my parents, then Regan and then Aesop. I never had the time to discover myself and learn my weaknesses and strengths. I neve
"Every time you feel a contraction, I want you to push," She said, and I nodded. The first contraction came, and I pushed as instructed. ONE HOUR LATER I had delivered twins. A boy and a girl and the nurses had taken them to clean them up. I was anxious to see them. They had wheeled me back to the
"I know you didn't think your exit would affect him much, but it did. When he said he loved you, he meant it. When you were poisoned, he never left the hospital until the day he brought you home. He remained by your side. When he pushed you out of his room, he gave them an order at the gate not to l
"No, Luke. Let me see her first, then I will call you to bring him," I said and took out my phone to text him the address. "I am sending you her address right now," I said, and he looked a bit worried. "What is the matter, darling?" I asked him, and he sighed. "You are almost due, Tia. I would no
"Have you been able to reach Stacy?" He asked me, and I shook my head. I knew it wouldn't be easy since Caleb her son, had been unable to reach her. He travelled to Dome two months ago when she opened the foundation, and he did not meet her. She had been M.I.A. since then. It was as if she deliberat
