MICHELLE’s POV. The moment I hear the front door open, I immediately walk towards Enzo who pulls me into his embrace the moment I get to him. He buried his face in the crook of my face and inhale loudly. “I have missed you” his voice filters into my ear, “and I couldn’t wait all day to hold you in my arms” he tightens his hold around me and I can’t help but smile a little. No matter how ruthless this man is, he always makes me feel like I am the best person on earth, how can I not love someone like him? Everyday I am thankful to the moon goddess for bringing him into my life. “Did you have dinner?” He asks and I nod in the negative. “I was waiting for you” “Why don’t we take a shower together and I will make something for you?” “Not to worry, I already made something for us to eat” Enzo slowly pulls away from me and a slight frown appears on his face. “What do you mean you made something for us?” “I made dinner” The frown on h
NICHOLAS’s POV. My eyes flutter open when I feel someone press a kiss on my lips. I see Natalia hovering over me and my face curls into a small smile when her feminine scent fitters into my nostrils. No matter how angry I am, this lady has the ability to calm me down and I want to keep her like that forever. “You look tired” she says while pressing another kiss on my lips, “what can I do to help?” “Nothing baby” I tell her, “I am perfectly fine” “The dress for the dinner date arrived and it’s really lovely, thank you so much Nicholas” she tells me as she straddles me, her exposed cleavage left for my eyes to savor. My mind unknowingly drifts off to Michelle for a moment. I know the dress Natalia is talking about. Up until three months ago, I was designing that dress to gift Michelle on our anniversary but I guess it doesn’t belong to her anymore. Back then, I was really anticipating when I would get to see it on that beautiful body of hers. “What are you thinking so
NATALIA’s POV. The moment my eyes settle on the lady at the top of the stairs, my heart actually skips a beat. It can’t be her, can it? What is she doing here? It is someone that looks like her, yeah? The more I continue to stare back at her, the more confused I get. Even Nicholas has his mouth open in awe. Not in my life did I ever expect to see her here, how did she even get here? What exactly is she planning now? Truth be told, I can not wrap my head around the fact that Michelle is in this house and what did Enzo just call her? His wife? How can she be his wife? She hadn’t even divorced Nicholas for a month and another man is already calling her wife? Is this some kind of joke or something? What exactly is she doing here? Isn’t she supposed to be somewhere begging for help from strangers since she refused the alimony that Nicholas offered her? She isn’t supposed to be living in luxury like this. Something is definitely wrong somewhere and I am going to find out how
NICHOLAS’s POV. As soon as I set my eyes upon her at the top of the stairs, I gulped. She looks so pretty from the last time I saw her with that beautiful dress gracing her body. Her hair is pulled up in a neat ponytail and those long legs remind me of those days when she would wrap them around me and I would take her time without numbers. But hearing Enzo call her his wife makes me so angry, how can she be his wife when we have barely divorced for a month? How did she even meet him? Was it at the hospital? Is he the little boyfriend that sent the alimony back to me? The more I think about it, the more I am unable to place what is happening. Seeing the way he cups her neck and presses a kiss on her bare shoulder makes my blood boil. The Michelle I knew was one of the sweetest Lunas, how did she end up tangled with someone like Enzo? The more I look at it, the more it looks like a sham to me. How can good things happen to her when she is the worst. Locking her own si
ENZO’s POV. THREE HOURS AGO. As soon as I step into the room, my eyes open wide as I behold the lady standing in front of the mirror. This is the dress that I have been designing for months and seeing it on her body, I can’t help but be proud of myself. The details, the way it clings to her body and accentuates her figure, the flowery pattern and everything is just as I have imagined and it is safe to say this is the most gorgeous piece I have ever created. Michelle has her hair pulled back in a ponytail and the little makeup on her face looks so beautiful on her. This woman is an epitome of beauty and grace and that’s the biggest truth. I can’t help but swallow hard as I continue to take slow steps towards her, my eyes not leaving her for even a moment. “You look so breathtaking, my love” I say as I snake my hand around her waist, “you look spectacular” “This dress is sure very pretty” Michelle answers, “you did a great job with every single detail of the dress and
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
ODETTE’s POV.“Good morning mum” the two of us air kiss before she helps me to sit. After Malachi left for Texas this morning, I decided to come stay home until he gets back. It was not a decision I made on my own, he made me promise to come back home to my parents until he gets back and I did. It’s been so I decided to come see my parents.“Where is dad?” I ask mum.“He has a meeting in his study” she replies, “let me make you some soup. You can go and say hi to him”“Okay mum”I watch her walk towards the kitchen before I also walk towards the elevator. They have a lot of servants but mum always prefers to cook for us and for dad. Dad has practically stopped asking her not to go to the kitchen. Anything to make his wife happy.As soon as I push dad’s door open, his face lights up and a smile spreads across it.“Who do we have here?” He asks, removing the glasses that is perched beautifully on his face. This man, he can give other older handsome men a run for their money because wha
BRYER’s POV.He has gone against everything that I believe in, my love and my hatred for him. He killed Rome, the only person who saw me as family in this damned world. He killed him and sent his body to me. For this, I will make him pay. I love him but he has made a mistake, a mistake that I will never be able to forgive. Maybe this is what we need, becoming arch enemies.I didn’t bat an eyelid taking the battered body of Rome to his front door. I want him to always remember what he did and how Rome looked when he died. I want Malachi to always remember that he is a murderer and he will pay for what he did. I love him to death but I also hate him in the same way.“Malachi!!” I continue to yell out his name, not caring if he is sleeping. I mean, how can he sleep? He killed one of his kind, he must face the consequences of his actions and I will take my revenge on him. Up until now I have been holding back because I love him and I want to be with him but now I am going to make it my li
MALACHI’s POV.For the rest of the night, I can’t even keep my eyes off of her. She looks beautiful, so extraordinary, like someone straight out of the painting. Everything on her body is spectacular and she can give every fucking model a run for their money.When we entered the restaurant to have dinner, I couldn't help but notice the waiters ogling at her like they wanted to eat her whole but they were wise enough to keep their stupid fantasies to themselves.“How did you enjoy dinner?” I ask her on our way home, a huge grin on her face.“Well” she shrugs, “it was good but the most exciting part is that I got to spend enough time with you today. I mean I loved every single moment of it. Thank you so much baby, I really appreciate everything you do for me”“Well, I live to please” I pull her closer and press a gentle kiss on her forehead, “now we have to get you home and Into bed. You need all the rest you can get okay?”“Of course my love”Odette leans into my embrace and closes he
ODETTE’s POV.As soon as the car pulls up in front of the building, my jaw fucking drops to the ground. This is the Lincoln Center for the performing Arts, one of the most notable opera houses in New York City. I have never been here but I love operas. I guess it’s one of the perks of living amongst humans.“What are we doing here, Mason?”“Well” he shrugs, “don’t really know”Someone opens the car door for me and helps me step out.“Mrs Hernandez, we have been waiting for you” he says and I flash him a smile, “I am in charge of taking you inside to your seat”“Okay?” My eyes dart across the two men.“I am Brandon, I will be your chaperone for tonight”“Is my husband here?” I start to look around but I didn’t see a sign of him or his car.“We will have to go inside to see that” he flashes me a toothed smile again as Mason comes to stand beside me.“Sister in law, I will come at exactly eight to pick you up, okay?”“You aren’t coming in?”“Of course not”With a nod, he turns around and
ODETTE’s POV.We all watch in horror as the man hands me the card and I cringe when I read it.Even if you go away from me, even if you are a million places away from me, I still love you Odette. I have never stopped loving you and I hope you find a place in your heart to forgive me. This is me wishing you a happy anniversary”The more I read, the more I cringe. What the hell? Did he actually write this? So cliche and so bad, it doesn’t even bring a smile to my face.“I think you need to take these back, Mr” I tell him, “return them to the person who sent you”“I don’t think…“Take them away” Malachi growls, “and I mean now” his eyes darken and I know he is trying to hold himself from getting upset. I can’t even blame him, I mean how can my ex husband send me a truck load of flowers to my new husband’s house? Is he insane?“You should take these away before I put my hands on you” Kayden tells him and the man fidgets a little.“Okay sir”We all watch as he drives off and I let out a h
MALACHI’s POV.Today, I planned to stay at home all day with my wife, watching her favorite movies and fucking her into oblivion but a certain police commissioner couldn’t do his job, now here I am fully dressed up in my suit sitting across from him. The click click of my ball pen cuts through my train of thought and I realise I had been talking to me.“What did you say?” I ask him.“My apologies for what happened, Mr Bromte” he says again and I scoff.“Tell me what actually happened? You said it was safe right? How did someone get their hands on it?”“We are still trying to find that person, Mr Bromte” he says again, “I will keep you posted on…“Do I look like a fool to you?” I cut him off and a look of uncertainty flashes through his face. One thing I can not tolerate is someone lying to me, I hate it, I hate it so much that it makes my blood boil and the only thing I want to do now is grab him by the neck and make him spill the truth. Aside the fact that I try to do things in order
ODETTE’s POV.“Good morning baby” Malachi says as I step out of the shower. He is clad in a pair of grey sweatpants and a white Tee. His hair in a messy bun while he has a bored look on his face.I look at the time and it’s already past seven.“Aren’t you going to work today?” I ask him, making my way towards the vanity table but instead of answering, he pulls his huge body off the bed and starts walking towards me like a panther wanting to pounce on his prey. As soon as he gets to me, he encircles my waist from behind and presses a gentle kiss on my bare back.“I am not going to work today” he whispers into my ear, “today, I am going to stay at home all day”“I thought you had a lot of work?”Another kiss to the back and my insides heat up. We haven’t been intimate in a few days and I can’t lie, I miss him but the recent happenings have kept us on our toes. I missed him , I missed having him buried inside of me, I missed looking like a mess underneath him.“What’s going on in that fi
BRYER’s POV.I didn’t expect to find Malachi's wife here but seeing her with him and seeing the way Zachary kept looking at her until she left made me upset. He should be over her by now and he shouldn’t even be looking at her that way. I am mad at him yes but that doesn’t mean I have forgotten how my body felt underneath him. I can’t lie, he and Malachi are beasts when it comes to the bedroom game. I want to feel Malachi inside of me again but since I can’t have him yet, Nicholas can do that for me.“I didn’t know your ex wife still visited you” I say out loud, dropping my bag on the table and covering the space between us.“It’s none of your business, Bryer,” he tells me, lowering himself on the couch. “I know why she came here, she wanted to get the truth out of me and I told her. I know I would be arrested sooner or later but the fact that she came here to our house Is enough for me. I killed our unborn baby too, this is the least I can do for her. I care about her more than anyth
ODETTE’s POV.“Good morning ma” the house help greets as she opens the front door. She must be new because I have not seen her before.“Where is Zach?”“He has gone for a run, ma’am”“Good, I will wait for him”With that, I step into the house but she tries to stop me.“I don’t know you ma”“You do not need to know me, young lady” I gently cut her off, “just ring your master and let him know that Odette has come to see him. He should be running back in no time”Not saying anything again, I go further into the house and for a little while, my heart breaks again. The four walls of this house once held my happiness and everything, Zach and I shared everything we possibly could but now it looks tainted, like the devil himself had come to stay here. It no longer looks like the house I shared with my ex husband, it was now part of a mistake I should never make again. Nothing has changed in the house but everything looks different, even our wedding pictures are still hanging on the wall. Did
