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.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
BRYER’s POV.From afar, I see him taking a sip of his coffee. I know he wouldn’t want to see me now but if I want to get everything back, I need to get his trust back.I just need the right amount of words and pretense.Throwing the half cigarette on the floor, I squash it with my leg before making my way into the café. I have to do this now, I need to make a fucking move. I can’t just sit idle waiting for something to happen.“Mason!” I call out his name gently and he immediately springs up from the chair, anger written on his face.“What are you doing here, Bryer?”I glance at the lady beside him, the one from the salon. I didn’t know two of them were acquaintances, I could have gotten some information for free from her.“Miss Bryer” her face breaks into a small smile.“I didn’t know you knew him” I tell her, flashing her a smile, “Boyfriend?”“It is none of your business” Mason snaps before she can even answer me, “what do you want, Bryer?”I let out a sigh, he has his guards up mo
