NATALIA’s POV. The gentle knock on the door makes me raise my head and I almost roll my eyes when I see the person who has just ventured into the room. Nicholas stands at the door for a while before he starts to take slow steps towards me. “Your aunt says you have not eaten anything all day” his voice resonates in my ear. I drop the book I am reading and turn my full attention to him. “Point of correction, Nicholas. She is not my aunt but a savant here” How can I take her as my aunt when she never recognized me as her own? Michelle has always been her favorite and I am going to make her pay for treating me like trash. “So why haven’t you had anything to eat since the break of dawn? Have you forgotten you are pregnant?” “I am not Michelle, you shouldn’t bother about me” I snap in anger and I see Nicholas clench his fist together, he looks frustrated and upset. “Why the fuck do you keep calling her name every single time?” “Because you haven’t given me a reason
ENZO’s POV. Michelle has her head on my shoulder while I work on the remaining designs for the fashion week which is less than a week away. For the past three days, I have been extremely busy with work and the lady beside me totally understands that. She would take some rest at home or come to see me at the office which always makes me happy. I now realize the importance of a Luna beside a man like me because together, I can tag us the power couple. I suggested having the ceremony before the fashion week but Michelle disagrees with it, she didn’t want anything to come in the way of the show and I can’t be more proud of her. Even with the issue of Diego and Avra, she has also told me not to bother with them until the fashion week is over. Basically now she is my mum and I will let her do as she pleases, it affects me positively anyways. My thoughts are interrupted when the lady beside me yawns lightly and I pull my attention away from the computer in front of me. “Yo
MICHELLE’s POV. I turn my attention from my Phone when I hear a low growl outside the door. My forehead creases into a slight frown because I know for a fact that it is not Enzo. He would have just come into the office. The growl reaches me again but this time, it is louder and more clear like the person is standing directly outside the door. Dropping the phone on the table, I stand up and slowly make my way towards the door. The growls and the snares become more intense as I get to the door and just as I pull the door open, a fisted hand lunges at my face but I quickly duck and the person rushes into the office. I don’t even have enough time to comprehend what is happening because before I can pull my body from the ground, a hand grabs my neck and backs me against the wall. This is when I get a good view of the person in front of me. His claws are grabbing my neck in a tight hold while his amber colored eyes tell me who exactly he is. “Diego?” His name rolls out of
ENZO’s POV. When I saw the blood on her body back at the office, my heart actually sank to my legs but I am more thankful to the moon goddess for keeping her safe for me. Now she is sitting on my bed with Lawrence’s curious gaze hovering over her. Earlier after the incident at the office,I immediately brought her home to avoid any other occurrence and I asked Lawrence to meet us at home instead. I know the pack healer says it is fine but I just want to be hundred percent sure about that. After a few minutes, Lawrence lets out before straightening his body. “From all indications, she and the babies are fine but I suggest you desist from such fights in the future, it could be detrimental” “Thank you doctor” Michelle says, “I will be careful in future” “Hmmm” he nods and turn to me, “I will take my leave now” “See yourself out” Lawrence shakes his head before making his way out the room leaving the two of us. Michelle’s gaze is on me and she has the sweetest smile
MICHELLE’s POV. Seeing Nicole kneel down and beg for something she would have avoided triggered a kind of anger in me and I just want to snap her head into two. How can she apologize for what she did when she clearly knew what she did wrong made me so upset, how dare she? The more I look at her, the more upset I become. My mind is filled with the thoughts of Nicholas and Natalie and how I want to make them pay for what they did to me most especially Nicholas. I stand up from where I am sitting and I walk up to them before grabbing a hold of her hand and yanking her up much to the surprise of everyone. “Did you think about the consequences of your actions before you let him go?” I ask her, “do you know what that one decision of yours almost cost me?” The more I talk to her, the more I boil with anger. Right now, all I can see is Nicoholas and Natalia. “Babe” Enzo’s voice filters into my ear as he encircles my waist, “you need to calm down, all these stress is not go
ENZO’s POV. The door pushes open and my assistant saunters into the office with some documents in hand. This is two days after the pack saga and everything is already going fine. The fashion week starts In two days and Michelle opted to stay at home so I can concentrate on my work. I really wish she was beside me but I respect her decision and she needs all the rest she can get. “Sir” I raise my head to meet her gaze, “here are the documents you asked for” “Drop them on the table, I will look at them later” I tell her and return my focus to the papers in front of me. “And sir, I sent you an email yesterday but you have not responded to it” “What about the email?” “We found a model for the first outing but her agency wants to meet with you to discuss the terms. I told them that you are unavailable and our team will attend on behalf of you but their CEO wants to see you at all cost” “Is she the only one available at the moment?” “Yes sir, all the models are already
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
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
MALACHI’s POV.The police commissioner stands up the moment he sees me and he extends his hand for a shake which I readily accept. Odette’s brothers and my lawyers are outside, I will prefer to meet him on my own for now.“I am glad you came as soon as you got the call, sir” he says.“Tell me, what’s the status?”“Apparently Mr Zachary has evidence portraying you as the killer of his assistant. A voice recording where you were talking about the body and also a picture of you near the body before it was taken to the crematorium as per your request”I can’t help but scoff, Zachary is as sly as a fox, I should really give him that.“The police are working on analyzing the voice recording to know if you actually said it but ideally, an arrest warrant was put out for you and that’s why I called”“Do you think I killed her?”“Of course not sir” he gives an awkward laugh, “I don’t believe that sir, it’s just the situation right now”“I will cooperate with the investigations as long as you wa
