Kierra's POV"Please, Aden. Staying in this house all day is killing me.""But you have Beatrice to keep you company. It is still not safe for you yet!""Then what about work? Who is doing all that I have to do at the office?""I found someone to do it temporarily, while you are on holiday " he smiled."Aden, you never said anything to me and why would you call this a holiday? I am ideal here.""It is a holiday if you ask me because you are using this time to rest. And I need you to make use of this time resting well, not worrying. You can go to the village if you want, and spend time there. You were once annoyed that I didn't tell you about the place, why don't you go spend time there and make new friends."I let out a deep sigh of defeat."Aden going to the village is not the same as going out of this environment.""Please, Kierra. Trust me when I say I know what I am doing. You are safer here. I don't want to tell you this but your persistence leaves me no choice.… There are thing
Aden's POVWhat happened two days ago was proof that Elliot was being watched. He swore he wasn't going to let this slide.Elliot immediately reconsidered his decision about helping me. We left his house which was wrecked by Igatus men.I told him to come with me. He asked if where I stayed was safe. I answered him by telling him when he sees the location, he can conclude for himself if it was or wasn't. When we reached he asked."Do you own this?""Yeah," I answered."Woooh, I wasn't expecting this. I had something different in mind" Elliot looked around the house."Perhaps you think that because I have a tragic story, then all aspects of my life should miserable. " Most times that's how it should be. Haha... Just joking. I think I like it here already" he said as he sat on a couch. and crossed his legs. I had made the mistake of hating Elliot at first, despite our experience with Igatus's men, he still found a way to look happy and carefree."I briefed Cassel about our encounter a
Kierra's POVAn apology note!This was a warning note concealed as an apology note.Was Elliot trying to play a prank here? I squeezed the note and threw it into the trash can. It looked like it was written by someone who knows me well. If I didn't know better I would have said it was Aden. Because why would anyone include the number of years—Ten years in the note? That was unique to me and Aden.So the question is where did Elliot get it from? Who gave it to him? I think the main reason why he was here was not to apologize to me but to hand me that note. Bringing pizza to me was just a decoy to find the note.After an hour, I picked up my phone to call Pizza Lover's costumes care line. I would tell whoever was on the line to put Elliot on the phone. Then I can ask him the necessary questions. A guy picked up the call. When I asked about Elliot, he said Elliot was not back yet. I decided to let Elliot's issue go for a while because I was beginning to worry about when Menessa was g
Aden's POV"It's done! I delivered it" Elliot grinned as he joined us near the fountain. I sat in silence while Cassel had his back to a tree with his head downward and Piers who sat next to me had his arms folded. We all looked distraught by the incident."And I didn't see Lucian this time." He added."Still not sure if he lives there huh, we need to be sure. Only then can we conclude that he is a spy" he continued speaking."Yeah, why is everybody looking sad? Did anything bad happen? What did I miss?" Elliot asked."Menessa is dead" Cassel answered."Menessa? Oh, the spy lady who works for Aden. How did that happen? And where is Charles?"I couldn't reply to Elliot's questions, I was too hurt to speak. I wasn't prepared for what had hit me today. Menessa is gone."Igatus had her killed right in front of us and we can't say where Charles had gone. He took her corpse with him." Piers replied."The son of bitch! He is now after us. That means he has been keeping his eyes on us." Elli
Kierra's POVThe first time I met Mr Anderson, the feeling wasn't a delightful one for me.I just didn't like him. The way he spoke with so much pride and authority. I was mad at Aden for listening to everything he said and doing as he was told by him. I continued to wonder if Mr Anderson was the reason everyone was trying to tell me to be careful. I have only seen him once this month and that was after the incident at the Marina. I didn't see him as often as I used to initially. I didn't care why he wasn't around much and I didn't ask Aden why.Sincerely I was happy, I was seeing less of him now.During the time he came, what he told me was"Kierra, you are indeed a special one! You are more than I ever anticipated. Thank you for coming back!"Yeah, that was it. That's what he said. It looked like he was finally seeing me as someone important and funny enough thanking me for coming back. Coming back! Back into Aden's life or back to where exactly? He smiled and walked out, I gave
Aden's POVCassel told me while I was down that Kierra called Menessa's phone number severally but he could not pick it up as he said he had no idea what he was going to tell her and he could further cause confusion.I went through Menessa's phone, it was a good thing that one did not have to input a password to access it like the way most people would do today. I checked for the two numbers I was interested in, one was Kierra's and the second was Madam Charity's. In an earlier message Menessa sent I discovered she had intended to meet with Kierra but the next message which looked scheduled showed Menessa would not be able to come and had instructed Kierra to meet Madam Charity. It was scheduled because the time it showed that Kierra was to receive this message was hours after Menessa was shot dead.So Menessa knew she wasn't going to make it. Why would she give up on living? She should have hinted to me she was in trouble. Menessa was a beautiful soul. Despite being sure that I co
Kierra's POV"You should stop asking such questions in the open Miss Kierra. It's not safe for you and me." Madam Charity typed."I am sorry, but I really want to know who you are. What role do you have to play in all of this and who is the stranger giving you directives? Is there something the Alpha is hiding?" I asked."Miss Kierra, all you need is a little patience. I didn't know it was you all this while until Menessa told me. We all thought you were dead.""What do you mean you didn't know it was me? I have been in this house for a while. Why are you telling me this like you are just meeting for the first time? How can you say you never knew who I am? You must be kidding, right.""Patience, you will soon find out the truth, all you need to know will be told to you." I didn't want her to confuse me further since she wasn't going to tell me anything for now. So I just agreed to what she asked. I'll be patient."If you say so." I typed. She motioned for us to leave the cellar.The
Aden's POVElliot called to tell me Lisa was nowhere to be found. This was weird because Elliot had told me he would wait for her to be done with her classes, and then they would both go to her apartment to pick up her stuff and finally come over here. That was how it was supposed to be.That was the plan!My world was falling apart. The crisis was growing; Kierra is with my evil twin brother, Madam Charity has been stuck in that prison called a house for ages, Menessa is dead, Charles is nowhere to be found, and Lisa has gone missing for hours now. What wrong have I done? Perhaps I am cursed! That was the only explanation for why I had a series of problems.People around me end up getting hurt or dead. I was losing confidence in myself. Whenever I think of getting back what my brother took from me; that's becoming an Alpha again, I stop to ask myself if I deserve it. I feel like an imposter. I used to feel great about being able to fix things but I wasn't confident about that anymor
