MICHELLE’s POV. I feel a hand snake my waist and I pull closer to him before pushing my eyes open. His scent filters into my nose and I can’t help but smile a little. After the whole Nicholas saga, Enzo had to leave for an impromptu meeting at the hospital and he just got back. Ever since I met him, I have developed a bad habit of not being able to sleep if I was not in his arms and that’s the same thing that had happened tonight. It is already past twelve but I am still awake because he was not at home but having him by my side now, i feel like all my problems have finally come to an end. “You couldn't sleep without me” his voice filter into my ear, “I am sorry I didn’t come soon” “I read a book though” I tell him, “and it kept me company” “Hmm” We are both silent for a while, a lot going through our minds and even if I can not hear his thoughts, I can guess what is going through his mind. “You did well today, my love. '' His husky voice reaches my ear and I gulp
MICHELLE’s POV. The moment her words reach my ear, my forehead creases into a slight frown. What does she mean by the model was here? Nicholas refused to sign the contract so why is she here? The more I think about it, the more nothing makes sense to me. What exactly is Nicholas planning to do now? He has always been a sly one. “What do you mean the model from Aer is here?” I ask Maria. “I was also unaware of this arrangement ma’am” Maria answers, “i just received a call now” “Nicholas” Enzo growls in anger as he balls his hands into a fist. After a few seconds, the lady comes in front of us and she is not someone I know. I actually know the top model that Enzo was trying to get but this lady looks different from all the models I have seen. I would have recognized her if she was truly the one Enzo wanted. “I am not late, am I?” She asks the moment she comes to a halt in front of us, “my plane was delayed for half an hour and that’s why I am a bit late” “Excuse me,
ENZO’s POV. Heaving a sigh, I push my body on the chair before picking up my phone. I have been in surgery for five hours and luckily, we were able to save the young man at the last minute. I left Michelle back at the office under Maria’s guild and I know she is going to do well. My baby is a smart ass and how can I not be proud of her? Looking at the time, it is already past six and I am certain she is getting ready for that dinner. I know exactly what that woman is planning and I want to sit back and enjoy the show because it is going to be a fight slap on Nicholas’s face. Massaging the space between my brows, I press back against my reclining chair before picking up my phone and dialing her number. After a ring, she answers and my lips curl into a smile the moment I hear her voice. “Hey baby!!” Her excited voice reach my ear, “I was thinking about you” “Are you already missing me that much?” I ask her. “Of course, I miss you every moment of the day when you
NICHOLAS’s POV. “What exactly are you planning on, Nicholas?” Natalia asks me as I make my way towards the car, “why aren’t you telling me anything? I know we want to fuck Michelle and that Enzo guy up but what exactly is going on in your mind? At least let me in so I can help you” “Michelle belongs to me, Natalia. Whatever she is today, I made her her and I will be danmed if I let another man have her. I signed the contract today and we have a lot to discuss about the fashion function over dinner. I have a week to show Enzo that I still have her wrapped around my fingertips, you know that, don’t you?” “One question, Nicholas,” Natalia continues, “do not forget that we are in this together and yes, I want to see her in pain for all the pain she has caused me. I don’t care what you do to her or how you make Enzo hate her but do not forget that we have a baby coming on the way and you can not go back to your ex mate” “She disgusts me, Nat” I tell her, “but I would rather she b
MICHELLE’s POV. As soon as I enter my room; I slump on the bed and close my eyes for a moment. I am trying to expel the anger from my body. Nicholas is not even worth even a cent of my anger. How can he just show up in my life and try to take my back like I am some kind of commodity? Isn’t he afraid of being struck by lightning because of his behavior? The more I think about it, the more angry I become. I am even pissed with Enzo because even as I went to the hospital, he refused to tell me anything and kept saying he was fine. I had to leave because he had a surgery but that’s not the end of the matter, he must tell me what is actually bothering him. I am not sure for how long I have closed my eyes but when I open them, I find myself in a field full of flowers and a woman is standing far off. The moment I see her, I know she is not someone ordinary just from the aura emanating from her. Her inky long black hair is cascading down her back and her garment looks so white
ENZO’s POV. Michelle steers in her sleep and gently opens her eyes; I can’t help but smile back at the beautiful woman lying on my bed and wearing my clothes. No matter how much I gaze upon her, I can not get enough of her. I am actually glad that I discussed my feelings with her and now I feel a lot better. I can’t help but thank this woman enough. She has been an epitome of blessing ever since she came into my life and I have the moon goddess to thank for that. “Good morning beautiful” I say to her and her lips curl up. “How long have you been staring at me?” Her feminine voice reaches my ear. “Long enough to know you were having an erotic dream about me” I answer with a coy smirk on my lips, “I could see it” “Enzo!!” She beams and the color rush on her face is actually very massive, I love to see her happy and smiling. “But we will discuss about your dream later, today is an important day for us” Michelle shoots out of bed, “of course, and I can’t wait to see the
MICHELLE’s POV. After dropping the call, I let out a heavy sigh as a well dressed man walks onto the stage. This is the first time I am attending a gala and I can say this is out of this world. Right from the hall, the decor down to the light and everything is top notch. For the first day of show, Enzo really outdid himself because I can not keep my eyes to myself, the sight of everything is so beautiful to behold and not to talk of the crowd that had gathered. The guest list was filled with important men and seeing how the hall is full, it is safe to say that Enzo has made his mark in the world he exists in. I am the only one seated here right now and Maria told me Enzo specially prepared this place for me. I get to see everything happening on stage and I can’t help but feel proud of the man I married, he treats me like I am the only person on earth. My thoughts are interrupted by the man on the stage again and he is saying something which is making everyone chuckle ligh
NICHOLAS’s POV. THREE HOURS AGO. With one final look at the mirror, I pick up my phone from the table and this is when the door opens and Natalia saunters into the room looking gorgeous in her black sequin dress, one of the newest collections but no matter how much I look at her and want to admire her, I can not get the words of Michelle out of my head. I don’t even know who is lying because on one hand Natalia is pregnant and on the other hand, Michelle gets pregnant with Enzo just a few weeks after they met. The more I think about it, the more upset I become because everything should have been about me. And I know for a fact that Michelle is not lying about her pregnancy because I can actually see it. The glow, the beauty and everything in between. I noticed it the very first day I saw her but I couldn’t even decipher it completely because we no longer shared that bond, I can no longer feel anything about her. “Don’t I look good?” Natalia’s voice jolts me out of my train
MALACHI’S POV.With my arm wrapped around her naked body, I bury my face in the crook of her neck and fill my lungs with her scent. The time is past 10PM but none of us have taken any time to sleep. I like the fact that we can stay in each other’s arms and just be ourselves.“What are you thinking about, my love?” She asks me, “you have been in thought for a while now”“I’m just thinking about how a lot has happened in the past few months, wifey” I tell her, snuggling closer to her, “but most especially I love the fact that we are together no matter what”“Should we go for a drive?” Odette suggests, pulling her body to a sitting position, “the weather is really nice”“You really want to go for a drive?” I ask and she nods vigorously.“We could get some ice cream on the way and even some chocolates too”“I should have known it’s your cravings speaking and not you” I tell her, pulling my naked body off the bed, “fine, let’s get dressed okay? I will get you everything you want”“Thank y
ODETTE’s POV.The moment I hear those words, I abruptly pull my skirt down and jump off the bed, Malachi’s lips tilt into a mocking smirk as he lowers himself on the bed.“You are going to go in there reeking of sex, babe”I roll my eyes to the back of my head, look at him talking like it’s not his fault. He is the one who put me in this position in the first place. Note to self: never have sex in the hospital where your father and your husband are both admitted” Walking towards the mirror, I start to fix my hair and my clothes.“You look okay, baby” he says to me, “you should go and see father in law now”“Hmm” I nod, “I will tell them you are taking a rest, okay?”“I will get changed and be there okay?”“But…“I am fine” he subtly cuts me off, his gaze softening, “I will come soon, okay?”“Okay baby” pressing forward, I kiss him lightly on the lips, running my index finger over his lips to clean a little bit of my gloss, “and make sure you take a shower” my gaze falls on his erect
MALACHI’s POV.Walking into the room, I see my wife seated beside her sleeping father, her head on the bed beside him and seeing that she didn’t raise her head when I walk in, I know for a fact that she is sleeping. Walking gently towards her, I squat beside her before tapping her gently.“Baby”Odette stirs in her sleep and opens her eyes, a light yawn leaves her mouth.“Baby, you are back?”“Hmm” I nod, “I am back. Come, I will take you home so you can take some rest, okay?”“I don’t want to leave dad alone” she sounds adamant.“You are not leaving him okay? Kayden and Ayana are both outside. They will look after him till your mum gets back. You are pregnant, remember? You don’t need all of these stress right now”She lets out a sigh, I hate seeing her in this kind of situation. How I wish I was in her stead.“Okay? You need all the rest you can get now. I don’t want you getting sick in your condition, my love” I cup her face lightly and press a kiss against the tip of her nose, “pl
BRYER’s POV.I let out a little gasp as I push open my eyes but I am met with ultimate darkness and silence. The ground underneath me is cold and it is seeping through my skin. The last thing I remember was someone walking up to me when I was leaving the mall earlier and the rest is history.Who dared to do this to me? Who dared to capture me and put me in a position like this? Could it be Zachary? I ratted him out to the police and he is getting investigated again or it could be Odette. I mean, I harmed her father and landed him in this hospital. It wasn’t that hard to do since their cleaning lady had a gambling addiction, I was able to buy her off as soon as I talked to her but she wouldn’t have that time to have me captured right? Or was it Malachi? Did he do this?I have a lot of questions but no one to ask, not when this place looks like my nightmare. Wolves have the ability to see even in the dark but for some reason, I am unable to do that. What the heck is happening? Who was
ODETTE’s POV.Despite being upset with him, I can’t go against him and that’s why I sat my ass on the bed when he told me to.I can think clearly now, I went a bit overboard at the hospital but if I didn’t meet him, Bryer wouldn’t have come into our lives so my anger was a bit justified. I am going to find her and I am going to tear her into a million pieces, scatter her remains all over the world and make sure she regrets it for the rest of her life.The rain is still falling heavily and I wouldn’t be able to go back to the hospital anytime soon so I decided to call my mum and from the tone of her voice, nothing has happened yet.“The doctors are going to check him for the drugs” she says, “you shouldn’t worry too much, my darling”I sniff back a tear, this hurts more than anything I can even think of, “I am sorry mum” I tell her, “dad is in this condition because of me”“It is not because of you, my baby. Don’t worry, your father will be fine. You should make up with your husband, y
MALACHI’s POV.She cried, she had tears in her eyes and it was because of me and she was fucking right. Bryer came into her life because of me. It is my fault that Mr Philips is in this condition, it is my fault that my wife cried and even slapped me. For the first time since we got married, I didn’t go after her. Not because I am upset but because I know she needs some space away from me.“Fuck!!” I mutter under my breath taking a few steps back from the elevator door. My world has come to a fucking standstill. We were happy a few hours ago so what the hell is this?“What’s going on man?” Kayden asks, “what’s happening?”“We need to get the doctor now,” I tell him before turning to my mother in law. She looks so pale and my heart breaks into a million pieces again. It is my fault that everything has happened, I caused this.“Mum…” my voice trails off, I don’t even know what to say to her at this point. She could hate me too, I caused her husband to be here in the first place.“You sh
ODETTE’s POV. Right from Costa Rica down till when the plane touched down in New York, I didn’t say a word and I didn’t call any of my family members. I can’t lie, I was scared. I was scared of what they would say, I was scared that something had happened to my father and I didn’t want to hear it. I was so anxious that I wished we could reach sooner. One of Malachi’s cars was already waiting when the plane landed and in no time, we were on our way to the city hospital. That man, he loves me like a real daughter and never made me feel the absence of a real father. I don’t even know any other father aside from him. How can he come down with a heart attack? Father is not one to neglect his health so how is that even possible? I close my eyes and sniff back a tear, I feel like I am about to lose my fucking mind, I am about to go crazy. Malachi wraps his hand around my waist and pulls me closer and I let him. I rest my head on his shoulder and allow myself to feel whatever I need
MALACHI’s POV.Seeing my wife in that position gives me one of the biggest hardons ever but I don’t want to tire her out again so I only help her shower and put her to bed. She looked so beautiful moaning like that a while back, I wouldn’t be able to keep that image of her out of my head even if I tried.“Are you tired?” I ask as I cover her with the blanket.“Well, can’t say I am not” her face breaks into a small smile, “but I loved that, it was…adventurous, you could say that”I lean forward and press a kiss on her forehead, “now take some rest okay? I have some work to finish in the living room”“Don’t be long, okay?”“Of course princess”After another kiss, I finally make my way out of the room, switching off the light on my way out. I still have a hard on and I doubt it will reduce soon. The moon goddess knows how much I want her but I can’t be so selfish to do that to her after making her fuck herself and I watched.My lips tilt slightly, that image is going to be in my head fo
ODETTE’s POV.Swimming more laps, I finally pull my wet body out of the water as my face breaks into a smile. Malachi is seated at the foot of the pool, his eyes on me with a glass of red wine in hand. Ever since I got pregnant, he has refused to taste any kind of alcohol, he said he didn’t want his child to think his father is an alcoholic.“Aren’t you tired?” He asks me, his voice a mixture of warmth and love.“How about you swim with me?” I inquire with a pout, “the water is nice babe, the moon is beautiful. What more do you want? The night is perfect”“With you everything is perfect, my love” he tells me, a wink following suit, “you know that, don’t you?”My cheeks flush and my smile widens, this man knows how to make me smile without making an effort.“Come and swim with me, Malachi”“I am supposed to be keeping an eye on you, babe”“Come here, Mr man” I raise an eyebrow at him, “or I going to be mad at you”He lets out a sigh before chugging down his entire glass.Before I can s
