MICHELLE’s POV. My phone keeps ringing non stop even after I have declined all the calls. I am not in the mood to talk to anyone, especially after Enzo left this morning for an impromptu business meeting to spain. It is clearly a day’s meeting but I am already missing him and how I wish he will just come home. My phone rings again, jolting me out of my train of thought and I roll my eyes to the back of my head before picking it up and pressing it against my ear. “Hello” my angry voice resonates around, “I am clearly ignoring your call and you are still calling” “I am outside your house” Nicholas’s voice filters into my ear and the frown on my face intensifies, how dare he? “You sure have some nerves showing your face in front of me” “Just come on out, Michelle” he blurts, “this is important” “You can talk to Enzo regarding anything Nicholas, you and I have no business talking to each other and the next time you call me, I swear you will regret it” “I won’t leave unti
ENZO’s POV. An hour ago. The moment Xavier brings the car to a halt in front of the hospital, I immediately alight and rush towards the entrance. I was in the meeting when Izzy called and I had to leave everything to come running back to America and goodness knows I won’t be able to forgive myself if anything happened to her. Just as I am about to enter the hospital, someone calls out my name and I turn around to see Nicholas taking long strides towards me. The moment I see him, my blood begins to boil and I just want to snap his head off his body. The nerve of him to show his face to me after what he did to Michelle. It is his fault that she is in the hospital now and dared to show his face here. “What the fuck do you think you are doing here?” I grit my teeth in anger as the inkling to grab him by the neck envelopes me. “I have come to talk to you about Michelle” he answers and I clench my teeth together. “Don’t you dare take my wife’s name with your mouth or I will
NATALIA’s POV. Standing in front of the mirror, my lips curl into a smirk as I drop the phone from my ear. It is true, the witch was not lying. Now I know why mother and father tried so hard to keep us away from them. They were the evilest of people. She told me how it worked and hearing that Michelle is in the hospital confirms it. This is it, I will no longer hold back no matter how ugly things get. If I can not get Nicholas to myself, I will not allow her to have him either. “You are one crazy bitch, Natalia” I mutter to myself Walking back to the bed, I slump on it and close my eyes, the image of Nicholas winding its way into my head. I want to see him and hug him and tell him how much I love him but he is being sensitive right now and I am just going to wait for him to calm down. I have waited three years to make a comeback and now I am not going back out no matter what. For a moment my mind drifts off to the dumbbell I had used to hit my tummy a while back and I c
ENZO’s POV. “Boss” Mustapha bows lightly as he pushes open the door for me and I venture into the room. Rome is tied to a chair and he has blood dripping from his nose, Mustapha must have beat him up so badly yet again. The moment he looks up and his eyes come in contact with me, his lips curl into a small smile revealing his bloodstained teeths. “Have you finally come to kill me, alpha Enzo?” His asks me, his voice coming out only in a whisper, “I am getting tired of being hit by your men every now and then” I lower myself on the chair opposite him while rolling up my sleeves, my eyes darkening at the sight of him. “There are sins and there are sins, Rome” I tell him, “there are sins you can commit and I will let you live but there are sins that you will commit and I will hunt you down to hell. I still have a score to settle with you about what your clan did to my mother but that’s by the way. Hurting my wife is where you have drawn the line and that I will never forgiv
MICHELLE’s POV. As soon as Enzo brings the car to a halt in front of the pack house, he immediately turns to me and I can see a look of impatience on his face. Lately everything has been a mess and how I wish my life can go back to normal but that can not happen as long as Natalia breathes and that’s my main concern now, to end this thing we have between us. “You have to stay in the car, Michelle” Enzo tells me, “no matter what, don’t come out of the car and let me handle this on my own” “Hmmm” I nod and he pulls me to a kiss before rushing out of the car. Some men immediately stand around the car and from the look of things, I know they are part of the pack's strongest soldiers picked by Enzo himself. Closing my eyes, I place my head against the headrest for a moment trying to decipher everything that’s happening. How did it all go wrong? How did our lives become linked to the Zu clan in such a way? The more I think about it, the more I am sure the moon goddess has s
ENZO’s POV. I push open the door and saunter into the room. Michelle is standing by the window and she doesn’t even bother to turn to me even as I walk up to her. Our first couple fight is kind of cute but this is not the time to think about it or even dwell on that. She is still pissed with me and I have to do everything to pacify her. “Hey kitten” I snake my hand around her waist, “how do you feel now?” “I am good” she answers blandly, her eyes still on the open window” “Are you still mad at me?” “No” “Common baby, talk to me” I turn her around and she faces me, “I am sorry okay?” “Tell me everything Enzo” Michelle demands, “tell me what is really going on? How exactly are you linked to the Zu clan? I can understand my own, Natalia is a bitch but you? How? What’s really going on? How did you get to know them and that witch, what was she saying? I let out a heavy sigh as I snake my hand around her waist, “I have a lot do dark side that I don’t want you to know a
MICHELLE’s POV. The next day Enzo and I cuddle all morning, we have breakfast in bed and watch a movie. He tells me he is not going to the office and he will take care of me for the whole day. A gesture that makes me so happy that I just want to stay in his arms forever. After lunch, I opted to take a nap and by the time I wake I up, it was already a few minutes past four. I must have slept in because as soon as my eyes open, I catch a glimpse of Enzo pressing a kiss on my forehead and my lips curl into a small smile. This man always knows how to make me feel better and I am always grateful to him. “Good evening babe” his husky voice filters into my ear. “Good evening ” I reply as I pull my body to a sitting position, my forehead creases into a slight frown when I see him all dressed up. “Are you going somewhere?” “Hmm” Enzo nods, “I have to go to the office for an impromptu meeting but I will be back soon. You don’t have to worry, I won’t take long, I will be home b
NICHOLAS’s POV. Two hours ago. I drop my phone on the table before massaging the space between my brows. Earlier today, Enzo had his people call me to release Natalia to him but I refused. She was my business and I am going to make her pay for what she has done. As long as I have her under my control, she will not be able to hurt herself and Michelle will not get hurt in the process. Pressing back against the chair, my phone screen lights up and when I see the content of the message, my heart skips a beat. I have actually forgotten that today is her birthday. Michelle used to be so excited about her birthdays and now I am wondering how she is going to react to it this year. For the past three years, we have celebrated her birthday in the most lavish way possible but now.. Picking up my phone, I stare back at her picture for a while as a small smile appears on my face. She should have been here with me now but I was a fool and I let her go, I was blinde
ZACHARY’s POV.Standing in front of hundreds of eyes a few days after my investigation started is actually not the right thing to do but being involved with Bryer has caused me so much already and I genuinely want my wife back. If this is the price I have to pay in order to get my wife back, I am more than willing to pay for it. The only thing I want now is to get my wife back and we can stay happy together. I am actually tired of seeing her with Malachi. I want to see her happy and smiling with me. That’s the only thing that matters to me and I don’t care how I do it, I just want her.“You can start now,” the person standing beside me says. She is Malachi’s assistant and seeing the smug look on his face as he is seated at the back of the hall aggravates me the most. I hate that he always gets the upper hand in this, I hate that I have to do this in front of him.Letting out a sigh, I clear my throat lightly before pulling the microphone towards me.“Good evening everyone and thank y
BRYER’s POV.“Due to the injury, you won’t be able to wolf out for a while” Jacquline tells me and I ball my hands into a fist, this is four days after Odette attacked me. I left the hospital after footing the bills in the Bahamas and I came straight home.For four days I have been unable to move and it’s all thanks to that bitch I am going to hold her by her neck and make sure she pays for everything she has done to me.“I made some tonic for you, you will be fine soon” Jacquline says again.“Thank you”“I will take my leave now so you can rest”“Before that” I stop her, “don’t forget what we talked about”“Of course”With a little smile, she walks off while I am left to my musing again. Odette, that motherfucking bitch. I am going to make sure she pays for what she did to me and Malachi, I won’t let him line in peace either.Someone opens my front door again, making my forehead crease into a frown.“Jacqueline?”“Would she dare come here?” A familiar voice filters into my ear and my
ODETTE’s POV.The moment a knock resonates on our door, I allow Malachi to open it while I sit on the dining table. My mind on how to make her pay for what she did. I have let her go a lot of times and she actually thinks I am a weakling. This time around, she is going to wish she didn’t mess with me again.As soon as she steps in, Malachi’s face changes for the worst, he looks disgusted.“Aren’t you going to welcome me?” She asks, “thanks to me, you are popular again”“Speak to me and not my husband” I cut her off, “I am the one who asked the receptionist to let you in. I mean shouldn’t you be allowed to crash our honeymoon since you are a distinguished guest?”I stand up and this is when Malachi’s eyes open wide the moment he sees me with the baton, even Bryer takes a step back.“I mean, you are too important for me to ask the receptionist to send you back. You caused such a scandal back in America and you jumped right on the next available plane to the Bahamas, you are something ar
MALACHI’s POV.The scent of my favorite dish finds its way into my nose as I make my way out of the room after taking a shower. I need no one to tell me who is in the ensuite kitchen because I know it’s my wife. No matter how many times I tell her not to bother about cooking, she never seems to listen but I have made peace with that. She can do whatever she pleases and I will be behind her to guild her and take care of her.Besides we are on our honeymoon, she can do as she pleases. I can only watch her and admire her, thanking the moon goddess for blessing me with a beautiful soul such as hers.“Sleepy head” her face breaks into a smile when she sees me, “i thought you wouldn’t wake up”“How can’t I?” I round the kitchen counter and snake my hands around her waist, “I have the most beautiful woman so I should always try to live up to that. This smells delicious” I look over her shoulder before pressing a kiss on her cheek“Well, you always cook for me so i decided to return the favor
ODETTE’s POV.Malachi wraps his hands around my waist while I lean into his embrace. Our hotel suite is facing the ocean directly and it looks so beautiful. Part of me wishes that we can stay here for all of eternity without having to worry about anyone or anything. We have been here for three days and I can tell you that they are the best three days of my life after my wedding.I am still in awe of how Malachi was able to come up with such an amazing wedding ceremony. I am still having the jitters from the many gifts he got me. I mean he is the best husband one can ask for and I am glad he is mine for all of eternity.“What are you thinking about, wifey?” His voice filters into my head and I can’t help but smile. Wifey! I love the sound of that.“Nothing my love, just basking in the glory of our honeymoon. I can literally not get enough of it”His soft chuckle reaches my ear and my body tingles. No matter how many times I have heard this man speak or laugh, I genuinely can't get enou
ZACHARY’s POV.The more I keep looking at the pictures, the more I feel like smashing everything in front of me to the ground. She looks happy, she looks happy with him when it should have been me, when I should be the one standing beside her and smiling like that. Malachi has his hands on my woman’s waist, fuck I want to kill him, I want to make him pay for taking her away from me.My thoughts are interrupted when a knock resonates in my ears and my assistant makes her way in.“Sir, the reporters would not leave”I let out a sigh, they have been standing in front of my gates all morning after the pictures of Odette and Malachi have been circulating around the internet. Massaging the space between my brows, I finally drop my phone and I stand up.“Since they are so nosy, let’s give them something to talk about.I am dressed in a casual pair of grey joggers and a white T-shirt but I don’t care about that, they came to meet me in my house so they will meet me as I come.“Okay sir”In no
BRYER’s POV.I angrily smash the vase on the ground and watch it shatter into a million pieces. As if that is not enough, I grab the other porcelain vase and smash it again. How can Malachi do this? How can he get married to her and that too, everyone has been talking about it. Every news house, every blog, every newspaper, everyone on the internet has been talking about Malachi Bromte’s mystery wedding.It should have been me, I should have been the one standing beside him and not that good for nothing bitch.“Fuck!!” I yell at the top of my voice, anger enveloping me. I refuse to cry, this can’t be happening. No!! Tears start to stream down my eyes. It should have been me, I am the one fit to stand beside him and love him. I have worked so hard for him to see me, for him to acknowledge me as his own but he chose some rich heiress. Didn’t he see that I also worked? I worked hard to make him see me, like me, he even became my best friend so how did we get here? How did he look me in t
ODETTE’S POV.Being in his embrace feels like a lifetime of happiness and joy, I can’t imagine myself in the arms of another. Malachi has my heart and he has it for all of eternity.How didn’t I even see through his façade of planning a ceremony for us. He didn’t even mention anything about it even by accident but I love it, I love the surprise it came with and that’s why I am tucked in his arms trying to pull myself together. I don’t even know what I am going to do without this man in my life.“Okay now?” His voice cut into my train of thought and I nod, pulling away from him.“Malachi Bromte” I start to speak, “today before our family and friends, I vow to give you all of myself, my hope, my dreams, my forever. I promise to love you fiercely, to stand by you and support you in everything you do. I promise to be your sanctuary, your biggest cheerleader and your fiercest protector” I pause for a moment, the emotions are overwhelming, I can’t believe I am standing in front of everyone.
MALACHI’s POV.Seeing her cry, seeing her shed tears made me so upset and how I want to bang both their heads together for making her cry.“Is that the best you can come up with?” I ask the two of them.“What did you expect?” Jayden chips in, “she is so loved up when it comes to you, she wouldn’t even leave the house”“Even though, using aunt as bait is not something I agreed to”“Well, sorry about that” Jayden says, “but you must not know, mum is sick too. She was at the pack healer since. She told us not to tell Odette because she didn’t want her to worry about her”Before I can respond to him, Odette bursts out of the hall running towards me.“Babe” she comes to a halt in front of me, an excited look on her face, “dad, mum..“Calm down, honey” I gently cup her face, “okay?”“It’s a fucking wedding ceremony baby” Odette beams, excitement written all over her face, “the hall, it’s our ceremony and it’s..“You like that?”“Of course” she looks so happy, so fucking happy, “I fucking li
