Later on, Koel, Luther, and Maya were alone at the dining table having a separate conversation about the issue at hand."We both know that this kind of talk wouldn't happen with Cyrus and Riella around. But this is the time for us to be fucking logical. I'm not about to lose my best friend and since they don't want to do the deed. That means that we have to put this on our heads. " Maya said looking at the both of them as they nodded their heads in agreement."So what are we saying then? What can we do? Make them have sex? Control their bodies or what? If they don't want to, we can't do anything." Luther said pointing the fact out as Maya replied,"I know that that is why I have the perfect solution. I need sex boosters and enhancers, slip them in their meals and have them take it. They won't see any choice but to mate with each other and hopefully mark each other. It may take weeks but she will forgive me." Maya said but the fear in her face lingered enough to be noticed."Well that'
Riella got to Shannon’s suite in record time. She didn’t have to knock twice before Shannon opened the door for her with a smile on her face."You came." She stated, a bit tired as Riella stared at her for a while."You called,” Gabriella said softly; “ What happened? You sounded so panicked on the phone. What's going on this time around?" She questioned, crossing her hands as Shannon sighed looking away."I don't know how to tell you this, This is bad…Very bad." She faltered making Riella groan in frustration."Not you too. Look I just walked out of my house right now because I found out that the people I trusted were planning to drug me just for something instead of telling me the truth, and now you are calling me and saying all this. I'm already in a bad mood. Just say it once and for all ." She demanded.Shannon let out a sigh, her chest heaving up as she wrung her hands.She did want to take matters into her own hands and hopefully, this means that she might finally be able to t
Riella was not going to let Olive walk all over her again. She turned to Martha and said,"Leave us. This doesn't concern you at all okay? I don't want you here” she said with amber evident in her eyes for Olive.“You could get hurt I'll take care of this." She added as Martha hesitated looking at of them. Martha knew the bullshits that Olive was capable of. After all she had watched Olive bring down her reputation, making Riella feel insecure and unsure of herself all the time which was why she didn't want to go.She was happy when she heard that Riella had left the house because that meant that she would not be hurting under Olive again."Are you sure?" Martha mumbled as Riella nodded her head assuredly.Olive laughed feeling very amused at what she was watching, It was so funny trying to see them act like they could do a thing to her."Okay then." She said giving a bow as she hurriedly left leaving Riella behind with Olive who remarked;"You shouldn't have told her to leave. You
Riella stormed out of the house with a silent aura around her. Martha trailing behind her with a bag. Earlier she had told Martha to come with her and bring the things she needed because she wasn't going to step back here as long as she lived.She had given her father her warning as they wept over Grace's dead body.Now in the car, Riella grabbed her steering wheel thinking as Martha spoke,"Where am I going to go now, Gabriella?" She said as Riella turned to her and smiled,"Home with me. All my life, you have looked after me like a mum would especially after Edwards took my mum from me. And seeing the disrespect you were being treated there, made me realize how awful those people could be. I don't want you there anymore. So you will be coming with me." She said as Martha nodded her head trying to wrap her head around everything."What about the cops? Won't they come for you?" She said a bit fearful. She knew that Gabriella now was not the same sweet innocent girl she knew and she wa
The ride home was silent, Maya wanted to know what was going on, but she knew that she would not be able to get anything from the now mute Riella and they had another factor to consider, Martha was here.Sure she loves Martha, but was taking her away really advisable? Olive wouldn’t bully their maids like she did to them, but she also knew that Riella had come through for her when she was being bullied by Olive and she would be a hypocrite if she had anything negative to say.The day kept getting weirder with the impromptu rain and Gabriella missing five minutes of her time. She last checked the time at 5:35 pm just to see it switch to 5:40 pm and she barely blinked. She didn't even know how she would be able to read a digital clock wrongly, but that was something to ponder on later.Parking the car at the house, she helped Riella to get down as she instructed some maids to accompany Martha to a furnished room."Riella we have reached home. Are you alright now?" She asked as Riella l
Dinner that day was very awkward, Riella introduced Martha to everyone and Luther promised to set her up in her countryside as Martha expressed interest in going back there. The only reason she had come to the city was to look for a job and now, that she had no job, she needed to head back to her roots.Riella and Maya promised to visit her often once she settled down, aside from that, there was no conversation about anything else.It was clear to Luther that Cyrus and Koel were trying to have a conversation with Riella but she kept shutting it down."Have you people made your mind up about what we discussed?" He decided to ask as no one seemed to be talking about it anymore.His question made everyone stop eating except for Martha who seemed like she had missed something.Maya smiled at her awkwardly and Martha smiled back as Riella spoke,"We decided to find another way to do it. Andrew says that it's possible but difficult so we are leaving that solution for last in case nothing el
Maya was able to convince Shannon that she was ready to do what she wanted. Shannon was a bit suspicious and didn't quite believe her until Riella broke down and said,"I had my heat, about a month ago, and Cyrus...my mate was there. He didn't choose me. He was still in love with Clarissa, his dead girlfriend and I knew then, that I wasn't going to ever win his heart. How could I compete with a dead person." She said wiping her tears slowly hoping to earn a bit of sympathy from Shannon.The fact that Riella didn't sleep with anyone on her heat made her grandmother happy because that was one way to unleash her power."Oh Riella I am so sorry. I know how it hurts, to be rejected by your mate. This time I'll take care of you I promise." Shannon said pulling her into a hug as Riella hugged her back, a small smile on her lips.Sure she didn't lie completely and her feelings were realistic but using this to her advantage made her feel like the devil herself.Was this what being diabolical f
Everything is going as it should be so don’t worry about it. I'm just borrowing your power” Shannon said with a sinister grin.“Don't you know that any injury made by this legendary knife kills any supernatural being? That's one of the fallbacks." Shannon revealed with eyes glistening with greed.Riella shuddered at the revelation.Shannon had deliberately kept this information from her knowing fully well that she would never have agreed to it if this sort of thing came to revelation.She realized that it was time to stop wishing she would be able to get Shannon on her side where she would change.Angrily she stood up and wrapped her injury with a piece of fabric she tore from her clothes. Panting heavily and shaking, she powered a force from within, and this time, effortlessly she threw Shannon against the wall with a slight movement of her hand."I'm sorry it had to be this way, I thought that we would be able to settle this peacefully," Gabriella said reaching for the knife as she
