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
Kierra's POV I was surprised at my composure, at how I was able to play it cool for a week. Both I and Beatrice acted like we didn't know what Lucian was involved in. With Beatrice's discovery, Lucian wasn't the humble, loyal and sweet guy we knew anymore. We wondered how the perception one has about another could easily and quickly change by just finding out the truth about them. Things were beginning to make sense now. Igatus may be the mastermind behind the killings, that was why he beat up Lucian and was angry he saved her when he wasn't supposed to intervene. How have they stayed under the radar for so long? And I definitely know there is a third man behind the scene. Igatus mentioned him the other day. I heard him clearly. With the revelations and events happening around me, I was becoming more distant from Aden and my fear was for him not to notice these changes. I know Aden was smart enough to pick up on the fact that something was wrong by now. Although, on my part, I t
Aden's POVAs I ride towards Morisson mansion, my home. One I haven't seen in ten years. The memories I had in this once beautiful place was one I cherished and will never forget. I begin to recall them all.How did we even get here? Everything was all beautiful until one man decided he didn't like it that way. Mr Anderson has no family so I would not blame him because he does not know the evil in separating father and sons or a brother from his brother.For Kierra's friend to go missing meant that things were not going well in that house. And soon it will be Kierra who will be pronounced missing like her friend or dead like kierra. This thought propelled me to move faster. Madam Charity said Argon was asking questions about what she had told Kierra. She swore to him that she didn't mention anything to Kierra.It is clear that he is scared. It beats me all the time whenever I think about why Argon will choose to go after my own woman when he could have any other in the world.Ten ye
