Schuyler's P. O. V.My body was aching all over when I woke up the next morning. I didn't want to leave my bed and all I wish to do right now is just sleep and rest, but I was forced to take a warm bath on my own when Celeste and Marisse came together with a furious look in their faces, like they always do whenever they see me.Ezekiel's not home, he had to leave with his father and go back in the city to handle their business. While going downstairs, I saw the two maids looking at me. Although Anne was supposed to be my personal hand here, for some circumstances, now that I have been aware about them being lycans, everything is changing.They didn't dare to approach me after seeing my sharp looks, but I remained calm when I stood in front of Celeste and Marisse.“What brought you here?” Pleasantries are not needed with these two, it's not like they're here to ask of my well being.Celeste sharpened her looks when she faced me, while Marisse remained collected.“Sit down,” she said in
Schuyler's P. O. V.“You're late.” Hannah said with a serious look on her face. “Take a seat.”I pulled the chair beside Irina who looked away from me. Their faces were void of emotions as they eye me carefully. I have seen this coming since I received the message from Irina this morning.I still don't feel good after the argument I had with Celeste and Marisse, but I can't rest my mind yet as I have to deal with these four women. Although I don't see the importance of this sudden ‘meeting’, they say.I remained silent until the waitress came and asked for our order. The restaurant is known for its fine meals, but because of the main reason why we're here, I didn't order a proper one and only had a side dish.None of us said anything until the food arrived and Ember broke the silence between us.“Shouldn't you say something, Sky?” Ember asked with sulking evident in her voice.“Tsk!” Irina hissed before looking at us. “She has nothing to say. It's her life. We were out of it.”“Irina.
Schuyler's P. O. V.I can't move my body or see anything, but I can tell that there are people around me as they speak to each other. I didn't make any movements to not attract their attention. And as far as possible, I tried to remain still and just listen to them.“How much do you think he would pay us to release his wife?” I heard a baritone voice say and a glass clinking before I heard a chair moving not far from me. “I heard that she's precious to her.”“You can only expect that!” Someone laughed sarcastically. “That man has no heart. Why do you think everyone named him as the deadliest Mafia Conqueror?”I heard another voice laughing too. “This woman would only be a spawn, but surely, his pride would make us earn money from him!”“Ha! What kind of Conqueror would let his toy be stolen from him? He’ll definitely make his way to us, but we'll still get paid!”I clenched my hand and realized that I was all tied up on a chair. My head was hanging and I want so much to move now, but
Schuyler's P. O. V.“Lucky?” My lips formed into a smirk. “Oh, you disgusting old man! I am utterly disgusted just with the sight of you!”“You…!” He stood up and made his way towards me before granting me a slap. It made my head turn to the side as I felt the metallic taste of my own blood. “How dare you turn down my offer! Do you think that Ezekiel would take you in forever?!” He sarcastically said while balling his fists. “After he grows tired of you, he’ll dump you as well like what he did to his previous whores!”I clenched my jaw as I felt my anger growing inside of me, but I tried to remain as calm as I could. I don't want to give him the satisfaction of seeing me getting worried about everything that he's saying. Although deep inside me, it's affecting me too.“Even if he does that, I still won't be anyone's mistress!” I retorted back while gritting my teeth.He raised his hand again to slap me when the door suddenly burst open. His hand was left hanging in the air when the pe
Schuyler's P. O. V.“Why did you bring me here?” I looked away from Ezekiel as we rode the elevator to his company. “If it's about the papers again, I told you already, I have memorized everything since you left a week ago.”Ezekiel didn't answer my question even after the elevator had reached the floor to his office and he walked out with Hunter standing outside and waiting for us.I saw him glancing at me for a moment as I walked past him and followed Ezekiel. When I saw Ezekiel heading to the conference room, I stopped following him and sat in the lounge area, just in front of the secretary's front desk.Hunter saw me and I heard him clearing his throat as he stopped walking in front of Ezekiel. He turned around to face me and narrowed his eyes on me before walking towards me and standing right in front of me. I looked up to him in a confused way.“What?” I asked with a tired voice.He didn't say anything, but he leaned down and held me on my arm before gently pulling me up again.
Schuyler's P. O. V.“Ezekiel, I want to go out.” I finally told him after a moment of silence between us. “I want to visit Irina—After trying to save me, I don't even know what else happened to her!”Ezekiel took off his coat and neatly placed it at the corner before facing me again.“You can't go anywhere near any human again, Schuyler.” He said in a serious voice and I was left stunned at his response.“W-What?” I could feel my annoyance slowly growing in my head and Ezeki6not repeating the words he said just made me even more crazily mad at him. “What did you—Why the hell can't I go out?! It's just right for me to visit Irina after what she had gone through because of me—Of you! Because of your enemies! Don't you feel ashamed of that?”“Ashamed?” He asked with a pointed look in his eyes. “That is a human you're pertaining to, so why do I need to feel ashamed because of what happened to her that a human has done as well?”I turned my back on Ezekiel. There's no point arguing with hi
Schuyler's P. O. V.“Hey, wake up!” I felt someone tapping my cheek. “Wake up, Schuyler! Fuck! Wake up!”I slowly opened my eyes and could feel the tears forming in my eyes. My cheeks felt wet as well and I quickly wiped it as I sat on the bed. It's already dark outside when I glanced at the window and the person who's waking me was Marisse. She was grimacing as she looked at me from head to toe.“You looked like them,” Marisse said in a noticeable tone.I lifted my gaze at her in confusion. “What?”“Them—You know, the women he dumped before.” A smirk slowly formed in his lips. “He often bring them here—And it might be a coincidence or whatever the fuck you call it, but Ezekiel would bed them right in this room, and dumped them out of his life.”She turned her back on me and didn't wait for me to respond anymore when she left the bedroom. My eyes widened in shock and as fast as I could, I stood up with disgust in my eyes and stared at the bedroom.Nothing is here, there's no amenities
Schuyler's P. O. V.“This can't be!” Anne protested again when Marisse opened the door for me. “The Lycan King will not approve of this.”Marisse was forcing everyone to let me go after finding out that Ezekiel did not let me go out because I picked the balcony's door last night. All I can do is frown whenever Marisse would snap at them and no one can even dare move to stop her, even Anne who's protesting can't do anything too.“Come on, Schuyler!” Marisse said and walked before me. “Let's have lunch downstairs. Don't worry, I shut down the CCTV so Ezekiel wouldn't see us.”I grimaced at that. ‘It’s Ezekiel so I doubt that Marisse can fool him easily’ I said to myself. ‘But seeing that nothing worse happened the moment Marisse even tried to open the door, then, I can only assume that Ezekiel's not watching the CCTV right now and even probably busy with work.’“You know what my husband can do to you if he finds out, right?” I asked in a reminding tone. “You’ll be punished for not obeyi
