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

  • His Tempting Obsession   Chapter 111

    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

  • His Tempting Obsession   Chapter 112

    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

    Schuyler's P. O. V.I was lining up and waiting for the coffee that I ordered when I heard my name being called. I snapped out of my thoughts as I rushed to get my coffee after I felt my phone vibrating and my alarm tone filled my ear.‘Shit!’ The break time is over and I'm still here. My boss would be damn mad if he doesn't see me on my table right on time!I was hurrying to leave the cafe when misfortune struck me and I bumped into someone else's arm! The coffee nearly got into me, but as much as I am thankful, not the person I bumped into.“Fuck!” She screamed with so much annoyance.As I tried to check on myself, I stilled after hearing a familiar voice and another filled my ears.“Amelia?” I slowly looked up to confirm my thoughts. “Are you okay? Did you get burned? We should see a doctor for your arm!”“Tsk! No need, it's not that serious!” She clicked her tongue before they both faced me and just as I am, they didn't even show any emotion in their eyes after seeing me. “Watch w

    Schuyler's P. O. V.“What's the meaning of this?” After the deafening silence around us, we finally heard Mr. Clark's voice, but no one answered his question, as if they were clueless as well.Except to Ezekiel, who definitely knew the reason why he is here today, sitting comfortably as he looked straight at me. I started to feel uncomfortable and nervous when people slowly noticed his gazes, but he wasn't even caring at all! And as he saw that emotion in my face, the side of his lips rose a little, as if he's amazed at what he was seeing in me.I wanted to grit my teeth so bad because of what he was doing, but I had to remain silent and gather my composure. ‘Why are you even doing this, Ezekiel?’For pete's sake! He was intentionally doing everything he can to make everyone notice the way he stared at me before he slowly glanced at Mr. Clark, showing no interest in his face.“Weren't we gathering today for a business meeting?” The seriousness in his voice was so evident that everyone

    Schuyler's P. O. V.“I see.” Ezekiel said those words as if Mr. Clark was not in full rage right now while asking him. “Now I understand how your men are choosing to leave your company. You don't even have any idea that a few of your stakeholders have already sold their shares to us.”I saw when Mr. Clark gritted his teeth before he smirked with a grim look on his face, “Sold? Don't fool me, Riego! You must've done something to force them to sell their shares!” He jerked his head to point in my direction. “Is it because you're interested in my secretary?”I heard Marisse scoffing as she chuckled and when I looked at her, I found her shaking her head before she lifted her gaze to us with an unbelieving look in her eyes.“How unprofessional.” She started calmly. “Interest? Mr. Clark, we clearly don't have any interest in your secretary. Isn't that right, Ms. Savannah?”I felt the sudden chill traveling from my nape to my spine as I stood in front of all of them and was not able to say a

  • His Tempting Obsession   Epilogue

    Ezekiel's P. O. V.“I saw mommy in the dressing room!” A smirk formed in my lips as soon as Stormi ran to me.As days passed, she became more of me in every physical way, but her attitude was more of her mother. Although my wife says otherwise.“She was so pretty!” She cupped both of her cheeks. “You should come see her now!”Of course, I’d come see my wife, but before that, I must take care of these first. The picnic basket was filled with most of Stormi's snacks. It was all her request as soon as Schuyler went to take a bath.“Did you bring my strawberry cupcakes, dad?” I heard my daughter asking when I saw her sitting at the table and looking at me with an analyzing eyes.I tilted my head to the side, “Don't sit at the table. Your mom might see you.”She pouted her lips before she crawled out of the table and crossed our distance. “Let's go to mommy, dad!”I carried her in my arms as we both went upstairs. Stormi was singing loudly on our way and I couldn't help the smile on my fac

    Schuyler's P. O. V.Gunshots filled the air and Stormi woke up screaming because of that. Mr. Andrews kept on cursing, but he didn't open the door of his van. The driver and guards went out and we're trying to fix the tires as soon as they can, but I saw them dropping dead before they could even move an inch towards the tires. My heart was beating fast and nervous, but I still tried to calm myself.“Mr. Andrews, they're ambushing us!” I heard someone say something over the speaker.“They're too many, sir!”“They must be expecting us!”“Fuck, damn it!” Mr. Andrews shouted in anger. “So, this is why they didn't come right away, huh?! That fucker had been planning this!”Stormi screamed more when gunshots were directed at the van’s door, forcing it open, so Mr. Andrews looked in our direction before he smirked evilly.“You…” She pulled Stormi from me.“No! Let her go!” I kept on screaming to have my daughter back, until he opened the door and exited the van. “Give her back to me! Stormi!

    Schuyler's P. O. V.“You’re a traitor!” I snapped at him.“A traitor?” There was a smug look on his face. “What makes your family different?”“I have nothing to do with my aunt!” “She's still your family,” he dismissively said before he turned his back on me. “Sedate her!”Worry creeped into me as my eyes widened. “No, please! Please, don't!”There were two nurses who came to me and tried to hold both of my arms while the other scientist took out a syringe filled with something. The man left us and that scientist held my hair before pulling it to the side. I tried to get away from his hold, but it only gave him access to inject the syringe in my neck. It was stingingly painful, but I couldn't get away from them.My eyes fixated on my daughter as I hoped to leave my face… My tears flowed while I felt my boy weakening again and they laid me back on the hospital bed, tightening the ties even more.My vision was spinning and darkness was slowly engulfing me again when I heard a whisper i

    Schuyler's P. O. V.“It's incredible how they do that!”“These creatures can be of the same bloodline, but they don't carry the same genes. How is that even possible?”A small groan escaped my lips as soon as I felt myself waking up because of those voices I’m hearing around me. My vision was still blurry when I opened my eyes and my temple was aching so bad. I could feel a sticky feeling from my temple too, dripping to my jaw.When my vision finally cleared up, only then I realized what was happening around me. There were a lot of people piling at the corner and looking at something on the screen. Their faces say just how happy and thrilled they are to what they're looking at.My attention was only averted as soon as I felt a stinging pain in my arm and I saw a needle there, buried in my skin and taking out my blood. Something that's been weakening my body and it was connected to the machines in the middle of the room, where it was also connected to the computer they're facing.‘Wher

    Schuyler’s P. O. V.“Where’s Stormi?” Zehan greeted me with her question. She was walking towards me with Archer beside her.I smiled and hugged her before I knelt to level Archer. “Hey, there, little Arch. Stormi’s with her dad so you two can’t play today.”Silently, he nodded at me before letting go of his Mom’s hand. He walked towards the couch and just turned the TV on. I straightened myself before facing Zehan again.“I heard what happened,” she started in a soft voice. “How are you, Schuyler?”A small smile grazed my lips before I shook my head lightly, “On the process.”Her eyes became gentle before I felt her reaching out to hold my hand, “Hey… It’s gonna be alright.”I slowly nodded at her before noticing a figure on our side. When I shifted my attention there, I saw Honey with an unexplainable look in her eyes as she walked towards me. I heard Zehan clearing her throat before she excused herself and Honey stood in front of me.“Schuyler…” There are only a few times that she

    Schuyler's P. O. V.“Do you also know?”There was a deafening silence between us after I asked that question. A tight smile appeared on my lips as I slowly caressed my daughter's hair while she was asleep in my lap.“Why did you not tell me?” I knew that despite my low voice, he could tell how much pain I was in.He sighed deeply before I felt him approaching me and he sat on my side.“Would you accept it if I told you?” Slowly, I glanced at him with no emotion in me. “But still… I recently just found out about it. And you were already living with him.” Archie clenched his jaw as he looked down. “Beatrix confronted me that day, and everyone heard it. The next thing I knew, the Lycans were already talking about it until it finally reached the Riegos'.”“How did Beatrix know?”“That, I can't tell, but surely, she dug through it. There's no way she’ll find out, out of random curiosity.”I took a deep breath and dried my tears before I carefully carried my daughter to her bed. She fell as

    Schuyler's P. O. V.“You're lying…” I whispered in a low voice, almost not wanting anyone to hear me. “Ezekiel has nothing to do with my parents death!”“Has Ezekiel really managed to get a hold of you?” Beatrix laughed sarcastically. “Even his family knows who your parents' killer is.”“Don't say that, he has nothing to do with them!”“Oh, my dear niece!” My aunt shakes her head in disappointment. “Just how naive can you be? Beatrix is telling the truth. Ezekiel killed your parents!” As my lips trembled and I wanted to attack her for it, her smirk widened while watching my reaction. “Well, perhaps not directly? But it was him who did that to them.”My tears were at their peak when I heard a car pulling over and Beatrix stood up as they both looked from behind me the moment the door opened.“Damn it! That ride was freaking long!” Marisse's voice was too loud as she complained. “I wasn't even able to purchase more— What the hell are you two doing here?!”“Beatrix, what brought you here

    Schuyler's P. O. V.“You okay?” I felt someone nudging my shoulder. A small smile escaped from my lips when I felt her leaning her head on me. “Do you have any idea how much risk I take just to save your ass?”I glanced at Ezekiel on the other table, he was playing with Stormi and Archer, who are only forcing him to go along with them. Even Archie had no choice but to join as well. While Hunter was standing at the corner, smirking while watching them suffer.“I'm sorry…” I genuinely said in a low voice. “It has been a real pain in the ass to all of you, huh?”Hannah clicked her tongue, “I’d be lying if I say you were never, but honestly, Schuyler…. I’d never been prouder to you after hearing everything you did to save your daughter and keep her safe.”My gaze averted on Stormi as I heard her laughing while running away from Ezekiel. She was so bubbly, and she looked really happy.“When I found out that Ezekiel couldn't remember anything, I knew right then that you did the right thing,

    Schuyler's P. O. V.“Done?” Ezekiel's eyes analyzed our daughter's looks before he stared at me. He was leaning at the hood of his car, crossing his arms over his chest, and waiting for us to approach him.“Mall!” Stormi almost screamed in excitement while jumping at the stairs before she ran to her dad. “Carry me, daddy!”Ezekiel's eyes bored into hers before a smirk escaped on his lips. He crouched down to carry her in his arms and they both waited for me to reach them.“Mommy,” Stormi stretched out her hand, as if she's reaching for me so I quickly walked towards her. “Hurry, please!”I chuckled as I showered her cheeks with kisses while cupping them. Stormi laughed loudly before she buried her face to Ezekiel's neck, hugging him tighter. And when I glanced at Ezekiel, I found him still looking at me. Slowly, my smile disappeared before I avoided my eyes on him.I went to the back door of his car and opened it, only to see the child seat already settled in the middle of the car. He
