His Tempting Obsession Chapter 27
Schuyler's P. O. V.The next morning, when I woke up, the space on the bed beside me was already empty. It even looked like Ezekiel didn't stay with me last night, but after the argument we had, it was pretty understandable.I got up on the bed and tied my robe around my body before going out. I wanted to visit my parents today, so I better tell Hunter now to drive for me later. Not that I can't do it alone, but Ezekiel doesn't want to. Last night was an exemption.Hunter wasn't in the living room like he often does every morning and waiting for me whenever he knew that I'm going somewhere. The maids simply glanced at my direction while I'm walking past them and didn't even dare to greet me.I slowly got used to that kind of treatment from everyone here so it's not a problem to me anymore. The moment I reached the dining hall, I was stopped in my tracks after seeing Ezekiel there and drinking a coffee with Hunter standing beside him and showing Ezekiel his tablet.It's probably a part

Schuyler’s P. O. V.“Your… mate?” I carefully asked before stepping away from him. I shook my head and took a deep breath. “Ezekiel, how can you expect me to ask you when you’re always busy working, while Hunter is often around and I can drug anywhere I want when he’s not busy?”Ezekiel glared at me and it made me confused for a moment, but I just ignored that.“W-Well, since you’re here already... Can you, ahm..” I cleared my throat before looking away from him, feeling my cheeks heating up. “Can you drive me to the hospital? I really want to visit my parents.”We looked into each other’s eyes before he slowly nodded to me in a calm way, “Get in the car now. I’ll just get something from my office.”“Okay..” I nodded at Ezekiel and waited for him to leave, but he only remained standing in front of me. “I-I’ll go now.”I turned my back on him before leaving the house. The car was already outside and Hunter was standing there, he opened the door the moment he saw me walking towards the

Schuyler's P. O. V."Schuyler.." Georgi whispered my name and tried to get to me, but his boss pulled him back beside him."Are you st*pid?" He pointed at me. "How can you let this b*tch fool you, huh?!" "Sir, it wasn't Schuyler who hurt you!" Georgi tried to argue.I can see the people who are passing by and staring at us. Why do I always have everyone's eyes on me?"I'm sorry for what he did to you," I apologetically said while looking at him. He averted his eyes on me with pure anger. "I-I promise, I'll talk to him so it won't ever happen again—""You're looking forward to this happening again, huh?!" He snapped at me."N-No, that's not what I meant!" I shake my head at him. "Please, sir…"I do hate Hunter right now, but I can't just do nothing when the fact is, he did that to protect and cover for me. And he'll be in trouble right now if I don't manage to calm him."And what are you gonna do for what that b*stard did to me, huh?!" He shouted and even tried to approach me if not f

Schuyler's P. O. V."Did someone come to you?" Ezekiel asked me the moment I entered the room.I closed the door behind me and leaned onto it with a weak smile on my face. Ezekiel was standing just beside my parents while facing me.I took a deep breath before standing well in front of him. I shook my head and walked towards him, even glancing at my parents. I only looked back to Ezekiel when I saw a smirk formed in his lips."You think I hurt them, don't you?" He laughed and I stopped in front of him. Ezekiel caressed my face before making me look up at him. "Oh, little kitten.. Is this a taste of truth that my wife doesn't trust me at all?""I-It's not that, Ezekiel.." I held his hand and tried my best to not tear up and cry in front of him again. "Can I spend the night here?"Ezekiel darted his eyes on me, he was too serious after hearing me and he didn't want to break our gaze, even after we heard his phone ringing and I know that he's responsible for calling him again."You shoul
His Tempting Obsession Chapter 31
Schuyler's P. O. V.I waited for him to answer my question. Ezekiel had no emotion on his face again when he approached me and held my hand."Tartarus is my business," he said in a cold voice."Hmm.. Figured," I nodded at him before smiling. "Well, I do want to go with you and see how this 'blind arena' would go, but.." I held his hand. "Since you'll be busy there and I don't want to disturb you—""Who said you'll be a mere disturbance?" Ezekiel quickly cut me off while clenching his jaw.I shake my head at him, "I don't want to disturb you and besides, didn't I just ask you if I can stay the night here with my parents? I really want to be with them right now."I still feel bad for everything I heard just a moment ago, so I'm not ready to be seen anywhere yet with Ezekiel beside me. This is better for me to be able to clear up my mind."Please, Zeke?" I know it's impossible for him to allow me, but I still want to stay here. "Just tonight.."Ezekiel took a moment before he slowly nodd
His Tempting Obsession Chapter 32
Schuyler's P. O. V."Heard you went to see a doctor the other day?" Marisse smirked at me in an insulting way. "You look horribly close to your own death bed, I won't be surprised if you tell everyone that you're sick."Words fly pretty fast, huh? I still wonder how she found out.My fist balled under the table while looking at her, but I still forced myself to smile at her."Don't worry, Marisse. I'm perfectly healthy," I took a sip from the juice Anne prepared for us."You're far from that.." She eyed me from my head to my body. "But, anyway.. I didn't come here to check on you. I was merely curious.." She played her fingers at the table while leaning on her hand. "What do you really have to make Ezekiel marry you?"I straightened my back after hearing her question. "What do you mean?""How did you make Ezekiel agree to marry you—""I was the one who agreed to marry him—""B*llsh*t!" She snapped at me. "You think I'd really fall for that lie?"I thinned my lips before licking my bot
His Tempting Obsession Chapter 33
Schuyler's P. O. V."What made you upset?" Ezekiel asked as he entered the room and found me sitting on the corner while furrowing my brow.After I calmed down a little bit earlier, I texted him that I don't want to go out anymore. I was expecting him to just ignore it, but here he is in front of me now, asking me what made me upset instead of throwing his anger on me for suddenly canceling our plan.I remained silent, now wanting to tell him anything that could just end into an argument. It wasn't Ezekiel's fault, I know that, but I'm pissed right now and my mind is looking for someone to blame so as much as I can, I want to avoid that from happening."Schuyler.." He called me and I heard him slowly walk towards me, but I only looked away from him. "Is there a problem?"I shake my head a little, forcing myself to not speak."Then, what's wrong?" When Ezekiel sat beside me, I immediately stood up to avoid him, but he caught my hand and he pulled me down on his lap. His arm wrapped ar
His Tempting Obsession Chapter 34
Schuyler's P. O. V.I was roaming around the house when I noticed that the maids were keeping their distance from me. They looked worried and would do their job fast like they're waiting for me to leave them alone.I'm not surprised, maybe the words have spread in this house already. I took a deep breath before going to Ezekiel's office when I saw the door slightly opened.I quietly pushed it open and found Hunter searching something on the pile of folders in Ezekiel's table. He was separating everything with a furrowed brow and sharp eyes. Ever since that argument we had the last time, Hunter and I have never spoken to each other again and I'm still mad at him for everything he said to me. I was about to just leave him alone when he looked up and our eyes met."Mr. Riego's not here, he's in the harden and talking to his mother," Hunter quickly said before he lowered his eyes and focused on the folders again.I rolled my eyes in the air. 'Who's asking?' I turned my back and closed th

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
His Tempting Obsession Chapter 135
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
His Tempting Obsession Chapter 129 - Part 2
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,
His Tempting Obsession Chapter 129 - Part 1
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
