Chapter 7
Damon’s POV
I hurried out of the house to where Tracy said the workers were.
I couldn’t believe Edward's daughter was right here with me. I needed to find her.
And also my mate is here too at the same time, but how come...
How will both of them be here at the same time although even my mate's scent Is still very faint?
I got there and looked around, trying to find them.
Both my mate and her.
The scent – I couldn’t find it anymore. I couldn’t feel it anymore. But why couldn’t I?
“Where are they?” I muttered to myself, trying to fix the scent.
It was just too far from me. I couldn’t feel it anymore.
That only meant one thing: they aren't here anymore.
How can they leave at the same time!
If I can't get my mate, I will make sure I have Edward's daughter since the mating scent was not strong and sure to locate.
“Where are they?” I turned to the guards and asked and of course, they all looked at me, confused.
But I didn’t care.
“Where the f*ck are they?” I yelled and felt the fear running through my veins.
“S…Sir?” One of them stuttered.
I sank my fingers into my hair and sighed. Anger was eating me up already.
But I’m sure I wasn’t mistaken. She was here. I was able to feel her...
What the hell happened???
*****************
Zoe’s POV
“Mum wait!"
"Mummy wait” I shrieked at mum who kept dragging me by the hand till we got to her car.
She opened the door and pushed me in and shut the door immediately.
“Mum! What are you doing? Just listen to me…”
“No, you listen to me!” She yelled as she sat next to me in the driver’s seat.
I huffed and bent my head.
How on earth was she able to find me?
She just showed up all of a sudden at the estate and dragged me away.
What the heck?
“Why did you run away, Zoe? Tell me!”
She demanded.
" just because Agatha went home early before I came back"
" did that give you the right to run away" she yelled
"Why did you even have to do that, Zoe after all my warnings"
“Because I was tired of being a prisoner!” I fired back at her.
I couldn’t just control my mood at that moment.
“Do you know how dangerous It was?”
"Do you know, I'm sure you acted on an impulse,"
"The outside is dangerous, Zoe"
“Well, the only thing that seems dangerous to me right now is you!”
She sighed and placed her both hands on the sterling.
She didn’t say any other thing and started the car.
“Stop the car, mum. I’m not going with you”
“Zoe, please!"
"Please Stop making this any more difficult for me. I promise to explain everything to you at home. But for now, just do as I say. Follow me home, please. It’s not safe here”.
I looked at her and scoffed.
I promise, if she doesn’t explain it to me at home, I’m running away again.
****************
Damon’s POV
I sat on the floor alone in the room again.
I needed to find them by all means and this time around, I promise never to let them go.
My mate and Edward's daughter.
But it's difficult to find my mate because the scent isn't strong...
Why...
It's like the person is blocking it for anyone to notice, especially me her mate.
Or does she know I'm her mate and she is avoiding me all this while?
I sighed
I will have to forget about my mate for now and have to find Edward's daughter at all costs.
She is more important now than my mate.
I can get anyone to become my queen even if it's important to search your bond-mate with your mate and no one will want to resist me because of my sexiness, cuteness, handsomeness, and infant everyone knows I'm beautiful.
I stopped thinking and try to focus to find Edward's daughter.
I closed my eyes and folded my first two fingers, trying to focus.
The method I was about to make use of was sure dangerous, really dangerous but I had to.
It won't take much and affect me much since I'm the king of hell, lucifer.
I’ve been searching for her for days that are too long already and now I’ve finally gotten a hint on her, I need to put in more effort to get her today if possible.
I started the process and my breathing seized, and blood came rushing from his nose...
It all started coming up.
I could see her. But her face was blurred.
She was here; here in my mansion.
I could trace her with her footsteps.
She was here, but a woman showed up and took her away.
No, rather drag her away.
It was Helena! Her mother!
She ran far away with her and got into a car.
They started driving for a long time, but I was able to trace the road and distance.
They arrived in a deserted place and started walking on foot, going deeper into what looked like a forest.
They walked for a while and arrived at a tall building which they entered.
It was their house.
They’re there!
I found her!
I did.
I opened my eyes and gasped for breath.
Blood was already running down my nostrils nonstop but it didn’t matter to me.
I found Edward’s daughter. I know where she’s staying.
Finally;
Nothing’s gonna stop me from getting her now.
I swear with my life, I’m getting her.
And that's today...
The hide and seek Helena is playing is ending today...
Chapter 8 Zoe's POV I sat alone in the sitting room with my hands crossed. I had so many thoughts in mind. Not long after, mum walked in with a tray of food and kept it on the glass table in front of me. “Have your dinner" “I told you mum; I’m not hungry” I cut her off, staring at the floor. “Zoe, please. Just do as I say…” “And what exactly is this?” I rasp and sprang to my feet. “To stay locked up for the rest of my life? I don’t get you, mum. What are you trying to achieve from all these? Why are you so bent on making my life miserable?” "Why don't you realize that you are destroying my life" “It’s for your good, Zoe; for your safety!” She half yelled and sighed. “Going Out is dangerous. Trust me; I know what I’m saying.” &
Chapter 9 Damon's POV I entered my office in my mansion and sat down on my chair... Yes, I have an office in my mansion because sometimes I tend to attend to some important files that can't be done in the office at work, I will bring them home ... I stare at the picture frame on the wall opposite me and sighed in annoyance... It was all because of Edward, I am fatherless and motherless and Helena is begging me to leave his daughter out of this ... Never! I will never leave her out of this because I also suffered despite how young I was then... A knock came in " Come in" A guard came in and bowed in respect... "Master, The maids have cleared the room and we have put her there just like you have said" The guard explained
Chapter 10 Zoe's POV I fluttered my eyes weakly and felt myself lying on something cold. My head felt so hot and I was weak as well. I finally forced my eyes open and discovered I was lying on the floor – a floor that looked different from the one we have at home. Where am I? I stared at the ceiling and could tell I was in a strange room. Beside me was a big comfy bed and a sweet fragrance filled the entire room. I racked my brain and tried recalling what had happened. Then, the memory suddenly flashed back. Everything that’s happened replayed in my head and I sat up immediately. What? I couldn’t move. My hands were tied. I looked around and saw someone sitting on a chair by the left, just staring at me.
Chapter 11 Zoe’s POV " Take off your clothes” his words resounded in my head and I felt my heart skip. " What" " I'm sure you aren't deaf" He spoke coldly. I stared at him blankly, not knowing what to say or do. Like what the hell! " I'm sure I got that correct" What does he mean by that? He wants me to go nak3d…In front of him? Conniption gripped me as I moved backward. " Noooo" I muttered shaking my head. How can I do such a thing? Take off my clothes in front of a guy? Why? This will be my first time doing this in the presence of a guy. What does he plan on doing to me? I looked at him as he sat relaxed, his gaze on the floor.
Chapter 12Zoe's POVI opened my eyes weakly and found myself still lying on the floor and this time not chained...The ceiling was the first thing I could see and I could tell it looked the same, as the day she got kidnapped...“Finally, you’re awake” I heard someone say and I lifted my head to see Damon...He is back!!I trembled in fear, Looking at his face is giving me goosebumps...I gulped down nervously..."I have waited so long for you to wake up," He scoffed"There is no way he’s going to spare me this time around.“Mmm.. hi,” I said with cracks in my voice as stared at the floor.Zoe, you are seriously looking for trouble...Did he tell you to greet him!!
Chapter 13Zoe's POVI opened my eyes weakly and found myself lying on a bed.The ceiling was the first thing I could see and I could tell it looked different from the previous night’s own."You’re awake" I heard someone say and I lifted my head to see a young lady in the room, dusting some items.I shut my eyes and opened them again and groaned as I struggled to sit up.Where was I?I looked around the room and noticed it was big and beautiful. But how did I get here?Then, Memories came back as she remembered everything she as gone through for close to 24 hours, right from when she was kidnapped till this moment...I noticed terrible pains in my va**na and recalled the previous night's incident with Damon. Just thinking about it brought tears to my eyes.
Chapter 14Zoe's POV"Zoe?” I heard someone call behind me and flinched."Zoe"What?Who could know my name over here?I turned to see who was calling me and surprisingly, it was…"Nella" I gasped.“Zoe” she called again the third time, sounding surprised and we ran into each other’s arms.Oh, my! I could”t believe it. The same lady that had been kind to me the first day I ran away from mum.I never expected to see her here.Oh! I forgot. She had told me she schooled here.“Look at you, Zoe. I mean…” she paused and scoffed, staring at me from head to toe.“First of all, what happened? I couldn’t find you when we were done offloading t
Chapter 15 Zoe's POV I was so confused. What could be going on? I remained standing for some time before I finally entered Damon’s room. He was facing the window when I entered and I saw the maid dropping the cup on a small glass table in front of the bed. “Your drink is served, sir,” she said with a bow. Oh, my! Damon’s supposed to drink it. But what did she sprinkle into it? What if it’s poisoned? Wait, if it's poisoned, is that not better mum and I will be free!! I would prefer to inflict his pain before killing him because of the pain he did to me... Wait for a second, can I even kill a soul? But won't I be feeling guilty that I know about it... And my conscience will kill me!!
Chapter 1 Malia woke up breathing heavily, another nightmare again, this time around, she saw some group of friends betraying her and ended up doomed in both friendship and relationship......."It's just a dream and not real; I will get over it by going to school as usual." She said to herself...She called the maids to prepare her water to bath, and in no less than two minutes, a maid was at her service, this is how wealthy and successful her parents are, but she lacked one thing, love, and attention... After she finished having her bath, she wore her uniform, sprayed her hair, and took her bag, stepping out of her room to have breakfast with her parents."Good morning Miss Malia; breakfast is served." One of the maids said..."Thank you, where are my parents?" She asked, smiling, but her mood changed when she finds out they missed breakfast with her again."I am sorry, your dad and mom had to travel very early for some business meeting; mom promised to treat you to dinner on her re

Chapter 40Zoe’s POVI looked at mum and she was staring weakly at me. But she looked shocked.Damon. I had to get him.I have to save him I can do this.“I will be back, just stay with me mum; I promise,” I told her as I laid her head properly on the floor and stood up.I ran back to where Damon was and I was shocked at what I saw. He was surrounded by evil creatures and was trying to fight them off with his powers.Any minute from now, if he didn't try he will be killed by these creatures.I looked into my both palms. I could feel the powers at the tips fighting to come out with that strange feeling; it was there.My breath became still.They were overwhelming me.It was just too much.Some of the creatures saw me and charged at me and I stretched out my both hands to them. And it worked.I didn’t even know how it worked. I just did it and a light came out from my palm and struck at the creatures, making the yelp and vanish.It frightened me.I was scared.Noticing the light, Damo
Chapter 39Zoe’s POV“I have missed you, mum,” I said to her as I hugged her one more time before we both took our separate seats.“How have you been Zoe? I have been so worried about you” she said anxiously.We were sitting at a quiet place in the garden while Damon waited in the car.I'm grateful for what Damon has done for me today.He brought my mum to see me when I thought she is dead.Now, he is making me fall in love with him mercilessly.“I have…I have been fine. But what about you? I was scared you were dead” I asked.“I wasn’t dear. Damon had me released some days back. He gave me a place to stay, he gave me maids at my neck and call but warned me not to try coming close to his estate, else you will die" she sighed"Although he always visit me from time to time, I never lacked anything" she added“But what is going on? Why do you seem…so free around him? Has he been hurting you, did he free you already,” She asked and I sighed and stared downwards.“Don’t worry mum; that was
Chapter 38Zoe’s POVAfter taking my bath, I had quickly taken my breakfast and set out on the surprise trip planned by Damon.We sat together in the car for a long time and without saying a word to each other as he just kept staring out the window.I was so nervous and I fiddled with the tip of my shirt.What could his surprise be?I was so curious to know.I can't wait for us to get there and see what he has for me.After a long time of sitting in the car, the car finally came to a stop and the doors were opened for us and we stepped out at the same time.I looked around and noticed we were in a different place with so many flowers around.It looked more like an estate of a garden.Damon came and stood beside me and I turned to look at him. Was this the surprise he was talking about?Not bad?I love it.“Zoe” he called me without looking me in the face and crossed his hands behind his back.Hmmm.He has been calling my name repeatedly these days.What has gotten inside of him these
Chapter 37Zoe’s POVI stood in front of Damon in his room and watched him as he sat on the bed and attended to his wound.When he kissed me to an extreme and we were breathless.He stopped and stared at me without saying and I also did the same.All of s sudden, he held my hand and vanished as we appeared in his house, his mansion precisely.He was shirtless too and it made it easy for him to stitch up the place very well.He groaned in pain as he finally finished stitching up.“Pass me the drink,” he said weakly without looking at me and I went over to the table and I took the glass which contained black drink on it.Geez, it is too black.I walked back to him and handed It to him and he collected it and gulped it down with a crumpled look.It was obvious it tasted bitter.He stood up and gave the cup back to me and I went to return it to the table.I kept the cup back on the table exactly the way I took it and when I turned around, I saw him standing behind me, really very close.H
Chapter 36Zoe’s POV“Damon!” I yelped in fear as I saw the blood gushing out of his body rapidly.Oh, mercies!No.What has she done?Why this on this lively evening.I looked up at her in fear and she started walking toward us smiling feeling victorious."Zoe" he called, "your hand"I stretched out my hand to him.And Immediately, Damon held my hand and I couldn’t feel myself anymore. We suddenly vanished into the air.How did he do it?Shit, Zoe I shouldn't be asking that kind of question.I know which kind of person Damon is.He is Lucifer.The king of hell.So he will have a lot of powers.I gasped in fear as we landed in a different place entirely.A quiet strange place filled with trees and bushes to be precise.Now, where are we?I think that isn't our problem right now.Damon is.I looked beside me and found Damon lying on the floor, his hand on the arrow.I felt pained because he is in a lot of pain right now.“Damon!” I cried and knelt beside him."It is ok, I'm right here
Chapter 35Zoe’s POVI say next to Damon in the black limo as we drove to the venue of the so-called “date”.I tried not to think about the pregnancy so he doesn’t get to read my thoughts.I don't want to get into trouble right now.I seriously don’t know what to do about it. How can I possibly tell him I’m pregnant? How do I go about it?How will he take it?Edward's daughter is carrying his child.This is totally insane.He was silent throughout the drive and kept staring through the window.It seems he is far away deep in thought.He doesn't look like he knows what is going on.I wonder what he is thinking about.I will have to find a way out of this mess.Then, finally, the limo came to a stop and I figured we had gotten to our destination.Yes, our so-called destination.The door was opened and we both came out from it together like couples.Oh my, weird thoughts."There is no Future between us, come on Zoe, cancel that stupid thought out of your damn mind," I told myself.Ok, Th
Chapter 34Zoe’s POVThe second line.It did come up.There were two lines!What?I gasped and covered my mouth with my palm to prevent myself from screaming.Was this for real?No, no way.I thought... I thought it was one line that is negative.The lines…They actually were double.And according to Juliet, it means…positive?No, no. This isn’t possible. There is no way it can be positive. I mean, I can’t be pregnant.Like…pregnant?Carrying a baby In me?Damon’s baby?Lucifer.I'm doomed.Why do I keep getting into trouble?I staggered and the tube fell off my hand while I leaned on the table for support. I'm too weak to stand on my own.I was shocked beyond words.But what if this was true? And I was really pregnant? For Damon?What will I do?How will I tell him and he won't kill me.His saving doesn't mean anything.No one can predict Damon.A baby is living inside of me.I took my hands and placed them on my tummy rubbing them as a tear dropped from my eyes.I could remember vivi
