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
Ezekiel Riego's P. O. V.More than a week ago and my men have reported to me that our products kept on getting stolen. I had to rush out of the country after the argument I had with my wife. I kept on clenching my jaw when I remembered the fear in her eyes after I lashed out on her.I never intended to do that, but I have to make her listen to me and do everything I ask her. ‘For a while, she must…’I was in the middle of interrogating these motherfucking assholes and torturing them when I received a call from Hunter. With my hands covered in blood, I picked up the phone, thinking that Schuyler must have demanded something again.For a while, it excites me to hear her complaints again, but what Hunter told me was unexpected. I never wanted to believe it at first, so I rushed back home while in the middle of doing a business.I knew that if I left here, these assholes would be able to escape with the help of their organizations, but the thought of Schuyler getting violent with my mothe
Schuyler's P. O. V.“Need something, Sky?” I heard Hannah's voice coming towards me. “Hungry?”I nodded at her before sitting down on the chair. Hannah brought out something from the fridge before putting it inside the microwave. I looked up at the clock in the ceiling before asking her.“Is Ezekiel's back?” Hannah stopped from whatever she's doing before she slowly glanced at me.She doesn't have to say anything, just by the way she eyed me, I already know the answer. My parents just… died. And my husband, who's the only person connected to me right now, is nowhere to be found. He would let me see him and neither even answer my calls whenever I try to reach him.I feel so alone right now. Irina told me that the day after my parents were buried, Ezekiel and I had a fight—But I did most of it. And the worst thing, I don't even remember what we fought about and none of them would let me know as they don't want to interfere.I understand, at first, but now that Ezekiel's distancing himse
Schuyler's P. O. V.After seeing the doctor, Ember and I were on our way to visit my parents' graves when we stopped in front of a restaurant because of the traffic. I was casually looking everywhere and trying to kill the busy time when my eyes spotted a familiar car.My forehead creased as I saw Ezekiel's car parked at a restaurant and as if luck was on my side, I saw him coming out while holding a paper bag and beside him was a familiar face of a woman I once saw. I just couldn't tell where I saw her before, but the way she clung to my husband who's not even minding her and how they're attracting attention is what I can't take.Everyone who would see them together will definitely say that they look perfect for each other. As if they're some kind of arts, carved with passion and love for one another.And Ezekiel… Is this what he's been doing every time he’s away? Is he only coming to see me to check if I am already pregnant with his child?! He doesn't really care about me, but he w
