Schuyler's P. O. V.“Everyone knows, almost the whole lycanthropy knew about the two of you being related to each other!” She snapped at me as she continued to hush herself from crying.And as Alana busied herself, I looked away from her as I thought of something. Did I hear her right?“Did you just…” I pointed at her. “The fuck did y-you just say ‘lycanthropy’?”She shut her mouth for a moment before sighing and nodding her head at me. “How can I not know after they rescued you and killed my cousin?” Her eyes watered again. “Schuyler…” She tried to reach for my hand again. “I’m begging you, please… save me! I don't want to die!”I nearly laughed at what she said. “Why the hell would I save you?” My eyes sharpened as I looked straight at her. “Last time I remember, you tried to kill me five years ago!”Alana lowered her head and I almost fell at that, but my hatred for her was too much to make myself pity her.“Please, Schuyler…” She whispered in the air. “I can't keep living like thi
Schuyler's P. O. V.I had been expecting this. From the moment I left until the day I gave birth to Stormi, I knew to myself that I waited and hoped for a time like this to happen, but even so, years had passed and I received nothing. No answer, no presence, and no love. Nothing. We received nothing from this man.“Ezekiel…” I whispered his name, not even sure if my mouth really moved to say it, but I knew to myself that my mind had called his name.I could feel my hands trembling and my heart beating abnormally. Something inside of me has awoken and it started moving the moment our eyes locked into each other. The warmth I thought I had lost has started to heat up inside me, and it was tingling, really hard that it made me lost between confusion and with my own feelings.He’s here… he’s standing right in front of me. Watching me like a hawk with no emotion in his eyes. Then, suddenly, when I knew that my eyes were about to tear up and I had to look away, I saw when he took a step for
Schuyler's P. O. V.“Were you able to clear your mind?” Was the first question I got from Mr. Clark after I entered his office and found him sitting behind his desk and had his attention on the papers he was signing.“S-Sir?” I simply punch myself while looking at him as I stand in front of my table.Slowly, he raised his head to look at me and only then did I realize how mad he is right now. His face was so dark that it felt like if I said any words that wouldn't be to his liking, he would explode like a ticking bomb.“Ms. Schuyler, I would be straight with you.” He let go of the pen he was holding to lean on his swivel chair as he faced me. “You are my assistant and you were aware about the event last night, but instead of focusing on your job, you got into a heated argument with—perhaps, your highschool enemy? And even with wine, huh?”I bit my lower lip as I felt embarrassed while standing in front of him. Damn it. But he was right, what happened last night wasn't right. And Alana
Schuyler's P. O. V.The following day, I was rushing to get to the lounge area of the hotel after receiving an early call from Mr. Clark, when I saw him sitting on the couch with his security around him as he spoke with a woman with no interest in his eyes.But that scene was no longer new to me, because the more I spend my days working for him, I get to understand that he's not interested in being around just anyone else, unless it's for business.I hurriedly walked towards him and stood beside the woman he was conversing with when his eyes shifted on me.He frowned upon seeing me catch my breath before he became serious again, “Did you rush here, Ms. Savannah?”‘Isn't it obvious?’ I silently asked in my mind as I shook my head at him with a gentle smile on my face.“Not really, sir.” I remained silent as I watched the look of disapproval in his eyes before turning his attention back to the woman beside me.“You may go, I have nothing else to discuss with you.” Mr. Clark said in a s
Schuyler's P. O. V.I can't believe what he just said to me without even caring what my reaction would be. Mr. Clark left the car and didn't even bother looking back at me. He only stood there, in front of the car door before he realized that I didn't follow after him.As I watched him go around the car, probably to get into my side, I couldn't help but look at the eyes watching behind him and waiting for whatever he would do.I balled my fist and clutched the hem of my dress as I bit my lower lip in nervousness. It seems that I have no other choice now, but to face Celeste and Marisse with Ezekiel. And when the car door opened and Mr. Clark offered his hand to me, I was left with nothing but to give in to whatever he wanted to do.Hesitating, I slowly lifted my hand to accept his. I felt him squeezing my hand and when I looked up to him, there was no emotion in his eyes, but something crossed it for a moment, and just as I thought that he would take pity on me and just let me stay he
Schuyler's P. O. V.As soon as I turned my back to him, I walked towards the side of the rock and did not mind even after hearing Marisse saying something about me that I wasn't able to understand. I stopped when everyone was distanced from me already and I was able to catch air, but then I nearly choked for not being able to breathe properly as I saw Ezekiel standing just right behind me and watching me silently.Fuck!“What are you doing there?!” I angrily snapped at him, but after realizing what I did, I suddenly felt ashamed for a while.Damn it! He wasn't even doing anything wrong to me!I saw when the side of his lips rose a little before he put his hands on his pocket, leaned on the wall, and crossed his long legs while looking at me.I shouldn't be feeling anything, but the more his eyes locked on mine and the weight of intensity it's giving me, I started to feel uncomfortable that I couldn't help hissing at him.“W-Why are you… Will you keep your eyes away from me?!” I knew t
Schuyler's P. O. V.“Mr. Clark?” I stood from behind him as he stood and looked out of the glass wall, watching the night sky above us with a grim look on his face. I silently sighed and stepped even closer to him, just so he would recognize me. “I have the contract renewal now for—”“Do you have any idea how enraging it is to lose a huge investor, Ms. Savannah?” He suddenly said in a low voice and without even facing me. “And to think that it happened after I put you in your position and Ezekiel Riego paid an interest to you… Got any idea in mind what's been keeping me out since what happened a week ago?”‘Shit…’ I cursed in my mind as ideas bombarded me. ‘He’s not blaming me, right?’“I-I know nothing, Mr. Clark!” I quickly said to defend myself, but then I frowned when I suddenly sounded desperate with his agreement.What the hell? I shouldn't be acting this way! I thinned my lips when he looked at me, only moving a little to my side yet his eyes held no emotion.“You’re not actual
Schuyler's P. O. V.As I got out of the cab, it even shocked me how Ezekiel was already leaning on his car while watching me in the dark. His eyes were too sharp to miss and his face clearly showed the anger on him. I balled my fist as I walked towards his direction without even thinking clearly about whatever he could do to me.“You're following me.” I stated the fact and didn't even give him the chance to defend himself, not that Ezekiel will. He wasn't that kind of man. Well, at least, that's what I thought of. “Stop it, Mr. Riego. I might ask the authorities’ help for what you're—”“Bullshit!” He cursed in a low voice that I would stop talking to him. “You really think you pull that fuck, huh?”‘No… how can I control everyone here? How can I know what you might be capable of and what kind of war might explode because of me?’I could feel my nails digging in my skin as I balled my fist even harder. “Of course, why can't I? Stalking is illegal!”“Stalking my wife, you mean?” His voi
