Kierra's POV Mr Anderson is always with Aden most of the time now. Ever since Mr Anderson had that talk with him in the study about how he was being distracted with me around. Aden has been a little distant, for days now we haven't been going to work together again.When we meet at home, he pecks me on the cheek, asks about how my day went and that was it. Even such gestures had stopped in the past two days.I knew Mr Anderson disliked me but I didn't know what reason he had to.I am even more worried and being extra careful because Madam Charity wrote something on a piece of paper to me recently. The word was written on the piece of paper "Be careful, Beware of Mr Anderson. That's all I can tell you. Don't ask questions." She passed this paper to me secretly by putting it under the plate containing my breakfast. Why is everyone acting weird all of a sudden or was I just noticing that weird stuff was happening because of Mr Anderson?Ever since that piece of warning written by Mad
Aden's POV Were Moonkings friends everywhere now? What the hell? It was shocking to see the lady I saved on the news be a false witness. She lied about how a man attacked the victims. That the victims posed no harm. She fabricated lies about how I made sure to kill them all but because the authorities came in time, I couldn't pull through with my plan. She also told them how they were four guys and not three and I had abducted one of them. She never mentioned anything about the ladies I rescued. She was an incognito lady, disguising herself as a false witness when actually she was Moonking's spy. A police officer asked her how she knew so much about what transpired and she said "I am a friend of theirs. I came visiting with my boyfriend when the culprit escaped and made this place a mess" "Where is this boyfriend of yours ma'am," the police asked "He's gone to work." "If we invite him over for questioning will he make himself available?" "Yeah, there's no problem with that
Kierra's POVIt was nice to be back here. I recalled the day Lucian drove me here to pick up my stuff. I was so happy I was going to live with Aden. How time flies, it has been several weeks now but it seemed like days.I'll stay here a bit, when I begin to think better, I can go back. I had my issues to attend to since Aden wasn't opening up to me about what was going on in his life until I asked. Maybe he prefers to share everything with Mr Anderson. It bothered me that Aden wasn't coming to my room as he did before. We haven't gone to work together for days now. I was surprised about his sudden change. And all this is happening now that Mr Anderson is very much around.He has been more distant since that embarrassing day when I nearly broke down twice because of the headaches I had. The day my flash headaches put a halt to our intimate moment. It is just too embarrassing thinking about it again.Maybe he thought I was pulling a prank on him and he was angry because the look on hi
Aden's POV"Henry, you are sluggish right now. If you don't hurry up, I will make sure to trash you up real good" I threatened This made Henry walk faster. Charles chuckled at what I said."What's funny, is there anything I said?" I asked"Not at all Boss, he's just a pitiful guy. I wonder what Igatus promised, that they are willing to carry out such evil task" Charles explained Earlier today when I interrogated him before Charles and Piers joined me. He told me Igatus promised them the ability to read one's desires as well as their minds, just like him. There was a lot one didn't know that was going on in the world. And this was one of those things, I thought someone had to be born with such abilities.I have never encountered anyone with such abilities. Even in the books I read in my father's library, it was stated that it was a very rare ability to come across. If ever seen, then it was as a result of a type of mutation that occurred.Perhaps Igatus was a hybrid too, which mean
Kierra's POV"Hey, sir. wait " Kierra cried out, running after the Whisperer. He stopped to look around, to see who it was. I was giving weird looks on the street but I didn't care."Hi, good day sir." "Kierra!! Good day""I had to run after you as soon as I sighted you in the pizza shop. Please don't tell me this is not the right time. I have been thinking of how I was going to see you again." I explained "Apart from your name —the Whisperer which is not even a real name, I don't have your contact or even know where you leave. Please don't leave me hanging again. I need your help please…" I continued speaking "Hey girl, breathe. That's it. You are speaking without a halt. Breathe, that's it. Breathe in, breathe out, good.""I am sorry. I was speaking too fast. This indicates how badly I need your help. I am sorry I am this nervous""Don't be nervous, Kierra. I observed for weeks now, that you haven't been around. Where have you been, Kierra?""It's a long story. Can we go to my a
Aden's POVIgatus didn't try to move us out of the cell just yet. He knew it will be tough to subdue us. He used a magic desiccant which knocked us out in seconds. The last thing I remember was one of his men threw a can into the cell, the can let out its gaseous content that made us pass out…I opened my eyes, trying to figure out where I was. I noticed Charles and Piers were tied to the ceiling just like me.That bastard Henry, I underestimated him, I totally took him for a complete moron… He was killed like a worthless animal. Good for him! Didn't he know what was going to happen if he met Igatus without planning ahead? The fool would have even struck a deal with us. He would have told us where to find Igatus and in return, we would have protected him. But he stupidly had his own plan in his head. A plan even Igatus wasn't happy about.Igatus was not happy that Henry brought us to the location. Since we are here, this hideout wasn't going to be a secret anymore.Igatus looked li
Kierra's POVI got home thinking about my discussion with Menessa today. I respected her more after our chit-chat.She was emotionally strong to keep loving a man that might never give her a place in his life.With the way she speaks of this man, I think she adores him. I wish he gets to find out about Menessa's feelings someday. It will be great if they need up together. Why can't he move on, Menessa was a pretty woman and doesn't deserve to be sad. It's been two days since I left Morrison's mansion, and Aden hasn't called yet. I was angry that he didn't care about me anymore. Why the sudden change in his attitude? Was a question I kept asking even when I know it was all Mr Anderson's wish.I kept thinking hard of the few weeks we have been together, I still couldn't find anything that would warrant us to be this distant if not for that pathetic old fool who insulted me and disgraced me in his own evil way. How was it his business that I am not Aden's mate? It was only a matter of
Aden's POVThis looks bad.I underestimated Igatus. He was unbelievably good at reading minds. The idea I had in my head before coming to Raven Park was; We will silently move in, sabotage all the activities going on here, shut the place down, find Moonking, kill him and we all can have a happy ending.Unfortunately, that pretty and happy ending was only in my head because right now I wished I had more strategies. I thought I would see nothing but amateurs.My energy was gradually coming back. Among the men who stood guard, I could recognise two men. I knew I have seen them somewhere before. That's right. They were among the rogues who attacked us in Borgn when we went to catch Mary. So they were walking directly with Igatus and not Moonking. How did Mary get to mention Moonking and never Igatus? They would not recognise me because I am now in disguise with my fake mustache on."Boss, isn't it weird that he can read our minds and knows our desires? It's cringy. Even while you told
