MICHELLE’s POV. My eyes immediately water as soon as I set my eyes on the light blue dress in front of me. The ethereal beauty emanating from it is one to die for. This is the most gorgeous dress I have seen in my life. I can’t help but run my hands through the delicate fabric as my eyes travel around it. I can not even begin to describe the beauty and the extravagance of this dress in front of me. Clearly It is something out of this world and something no one would be able to recreate again. “You like it?” Maria, who is standing beside me, asks. “Like? I nod my head in the negative, “This is the most beautiful dress I have seen in my life, maria” I tell her, “this is heaven, I mean Enzo has brought heaven right to me because this looks amazing” “The boss spent days making this dress ma’am” she tells me, “he personally handpicked the materials and every stitch you see on it, every embroidery embedded on it are all done by hand, by the boss himself and every line you see
ENZO’s POV. “Done” Izzy says as she helps me fix my tie, “you look so good, brother” “Thank you” I flash her a smile. “How I wish mum and dad could see you now, they would be so proud of you” “I am sure they are watching us right now” I tell her as I gently pat her hair, “I am sure of that” “Hmmm” I see tears well up in Izzy’s eyes and my heart breaks into a thousand pieces. I know the reason why those tears are in her eyes, she has been asking since yesterday and I finally told her. She was clearly my only blood on earth now and it was important that I did. At least I know she is now prepared for what is to come. “Enzo?” She calls out my name gently again as she slowly grabs a hold of my hand. “Yes” I turn my head towards her, “wanna tell me something” “Must you do this?” Izzy asks, “we can find another way, Michelle will be heartbroken if anything goes wrong. She will never forgive us and… “I am not planning on dying, Izzy” I laugh gently, “but even if I do, sh
MICHELLE’s POV. “Thank you” I say to the lady who has just given me a drink of water from the refrigerator in my room. “You are welcome ma’am” she bows lightly and in no time she is out of the room while the look on my face remains expressionless as I continue to stare back at myself in the mirror. “It is time to walk down the aisle, sister In law” Izzy tells me as she helps to readjust the silver crown on my head. “Is there something you are not telling me, Izzy?” I ask as I turn away from the mirror and turn my head towards her and I see a look of confusion flash through her face. “What do you mean sister in law?” My mind drifts off to what Natalia told me a few minutes ago. I had no idea she was on the yacht with us, Enzo didn’t make mention of that. Even before we left the house In his private jet, I requested to meet Natalia but he refused and wouldn’t let me. Natalia had told me something about Enzo but I didn’t quite understand it and when I wanted to ask her, I
MICHELLE’s POV. I frantically open my eyes as a slight groan leaves my mouth and I push myself to a sitting position, my eyes searching the room frantically and my teeth clenching in anxiety. I try to push my body out of bed but the pain lingering in my stomach halts me and I wince in pain. For a moment, memories of what happened flash through my head but I am unable to decipher anything because the last I remember was someone covering my eyes. “Enzo?” His name rolls out of my lips as my eyes dart across the room. Neither is his scent lingering anywhere or can I feel a sense of him. “Enzo?” I call out again and immediately the door pushes open and my heart skips a beat.. A sigh of disappointment leaves my lips when I see Izzy saunter into the room. “Sister in law” a small smile appears on her face, “you are awake” “Where is Enzo, Izzy?” I ignore the pain lingering in my tummy as my eyes continue to search her face for an answer. Right now, the only person I want to
ENZO’s POV. I have just stepped out of the shower when my mobile begins to ring again. In the past three days, I have been receiving a lot of calls and I know this is also linked to it. What happened on the yacht caused a huge stir on the internet and I have done a lot to bring down some of the news. Luckily the part of either of us being a supernatural being is still under wraps but the headlines were all about Avanti and the bloodbath. Thinking back about it, I actually didn’t do anything to stop the situation on board, I was only concerned about my wife and her safety. Luckily those who were hurt were all taken to the hospital on time and it wasn’t so severe, only I suffered a major hit. Thinking about it now, it kind of hurts a little but the pack healer is doing a good job in managing it at least until I am able to get an antidote for it. Adeline, that bastard!! I jolt back from my thoughts again when the beeping of my mobile reaches my ear again and I click
MICHELLE’s POV. I was getting tired of waiting for Enzo to come back and I decided to go and meet him only for me to hear what had happened and he didn’t even tell me. He decided to keep it a secret from me for reasons best known to him. How dare he hide something so important from me? Looking at the two of them, I felt like giving Enzo a tight slap across the face. “Hey” a fake smile appears on his face, “thought you said you were not coming down?” “So you could lie your way around again?” I ask with a raised brow while walking towards him. The pain in my stomach has not completely gone so I am walking as slow as I can be, not wanting to intensify it. “So you clearly didn’t tell her?” A mocking smirk appears on Nicholas’s face as he folds his hands across his chest, “you always want to play the good guy, don’t you!” “I wasn’t talking to you, Mr woodsborn” I snap at him, “so get the fuck out of my face and why are you even here? Aren’t you supposed to be mourning for
NICHOLAS’s POV. Finally, I see her fragile figure walking up the alley towards her house, an airpod stuck to her ear and her attention on her phone. I have been waiting for her for quite some time now and luckily she is back. I have an inkling that whatever she is looking at in her phone is somewhat related to her love interest and it makes me all giddy with excitement. Looking at her, I can’t help but wonder what she loves so much about that bastard. That same bastard that I want to kill and send back to the moon goddess. After a while, she comes to a halt in front of me and her forehead creases into a frown when she sees me. Removing the AirPod from her ear, a scowl also appears on her face. “You? What are you doing here?” “Hmmm, this is where you live?” I ask her, “isn’t it too simple for someone working with Avanti?” “I asked you a question Mr woodsborn” Maria rolls her eyes, “what are you doing here and how did you find my house?” “It was pretty easy” I tell
ENZO’s POV. My eyes flutter open and I am somewhat surprised to see Michelle in front of me with a huge smile on her face. Yesterday she refused to sleep in our room and opted to stay with her aunt and left me sulking all night. I didn’t want to regret bringing her aunt but as soon as the lady came, she took my wife away from me and I was not happy about it. Seeing her smiling back at me now, I feign anger and just continue staring back at her. “Good morning hubby” Michelle’s voice reaches my ears as she presses a kiss on my forehead, “I hope you had a good night's sleep?” “As if” I roll my eyes to the back of my head, “didn’t you leave me because of your aunt?” “Of course I did” she answers nonchalantly, “next time you hide things from me, I will send you packing out of my house” My eyes open wide for a moment, is she trying to exercise her rights now? This woman is surely a Willy one. “I never expected you to change so soon” “Of course” she laughs heartily and my
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
MALACHI’s POV.“Oh my world!!” Odette screams as soon as I push open the door to the cottage. Imagine the look of surprise and awe on her face when the plane touched down Costa Rica. She has been beaming smiles since then. A few days ago when we had that subway experience, she made mention of the fact that she would like to live normally and I decided to make that happen. Bring her to a place where no one would care about us and just be normal for a few days.I purchased this cottage two days ago and seeing everything, I am in love with it already. The three bedroom cottage which is a little away from the town, looks like something out of a fairytale with a beautiful lake behind and a garden full of beautiful flowers by the side. There is also a swimming pool in front of it, adding an extra layer of magnificence to the house. The former owner sure took care of it because it looks much more amazing than the photos I saw.“How did you even come across this babe?” Odette asks as we cont
