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
NICHOLAS’s POV.. As soon as those words left Enzo’s lips, I felt my whole life come to a standstill and I wanted to ask him how it was possible but he was gone before i could even say a word. How could she be pregnant for me? How was that even possible? Michelle never mentioned it to me so how come? The more I think about it, the more confused I become. Picking up my phone immediately, I dial Pete’s number and he answers. “Tell them to get the jet ready, we are going back home” I need to get to the root of the matter, how can Michelle be pregnant with my baby? I swear I am going to make Enzo pay if it is a lie. I grab my jacket and hurry out of the hotel room and in no time, I am on my way to the airport. The thought of Michelle is lingering in my mind and I have never been more tormented than I am at the moment. If what Enzo said was true, the moon goddess needs to punish me for throwing her and my unborn child away. How could I do that and accept a child that didn’t b
MICHELLE’s POV. Greetings of “luna” continue to filter into my ear as I make my way towards the pack infantry. Looking around the park house, I make a mental note to come by often to check on things. “Hey sister in law” Izzy walks up to me and drapes her hand over my shoulder, “I would have made preparations for a banquet if I knew you would come around today” I can’t help but laugh at her outburst, she sure knows how to joke a lot. “It is not too late to prepare for a banquet dear Izzy” i tell her, “you can start” “Of course my lady but you shouldn’t have bother coming here, the pack healer would have come to meet you if you asked” “Asked you?” I roll my eyes at her, “when you clearly didn’t tell me about Enzo's injury. I am sorry but I do not trust you and that brother of yours” A small pout appears on her lips as she comes to a halt beside me, “So now I am the enemy? Enzo clearly refused to tell you, Michelle even after I tried to cajole him. You should have hi
MICHELLE’s POV. Enzo had an impromptu surgery at the hospital this morning so I opted to go to the office. We had a lengthy conversation about my pregnancy last night and all I can say is that I am super proud of the man I call my husband. He didn’t make me feel I was giving him another man’s children. He makes me feel like the children in my womb are his and that is one thing I will always respect him for; taking me and my babies into his home and treating us like we are his world. Letting out a sigh, I pick up my bag from the table and make my way out of the room. I am surprised to see Maria standing outside my door and as usual she has a huge smile on her face. “How come you are here?” I ask her. “The boss asked me to accompany you to the office so I came right from the house” she answers, her voice is full of energy and vigor. “You could have come into the room,” I tell her. “Not at all ma’am, I didn’t want to bother you” I look down at her neck and I discover she
ENZO’s POV. As soon as I end the call, the smirk on my lips widens as I turn my attention back to the man who is standing before me. I had finished my surgery a while ago and I was scheduled for another one in an hour but that didn’t mean I didn’t know what was going on in my house and how Nicholas snaked his hand around my wife’s waist and that was a mistake he never should have made. The more I looked at the video in front of me, the more I get pissed at it. “What do you want to do with it now, master?” Xavier asks me. “Here” I hand him back the phone, “give it to my secretary and tell her to hand it over to the media team, they know what to do with it” “Yes boss” Xavier bows and walks out of the room while I lean back on the chair as the smirk returns to my face. This time around, I am going to snatch everything about AER from Nicholas and he will wish he didn’t touch my wife in such a way. That is something I will never be able to forgive no matter what. Picking
NICHOLAS’s POV. My laugh continues to resonate in the room as all of them continues to stare back at me. I can not believe the fact that a mere alpha like Enzo has me in a tight corner like this all be Michelle. I should have known that Michelle was not the same person I married three years ago. She is more ruthless and more aggressive now, more like the bane of my existence. Not in my life did I ever think i would be in this position because the shares of AER has plummeted so much that I find it hard to believe and what more, Lucy is at the pack healer’s. The more I think about it, the more I can’t help but laugh. Enzo really laid all his cards on the table this time around and now I am not going to lie low. If he wants to go low, I am going to go much lower than he ever expected and I am going to make him pay for touching my sister the second time, I swear on the moon goddess. Pushing my body on the revolving chair “What should we do sir?” My assistant asks me, “the
ZACHARY’s POV.I angrily throw the documents on the table and all the board members flinch, my eyes travel around the room before settling on the man standing on the podium.“Is this what you have to offer me?” I ask him, “one whole week and this is the rubbish you fucking bring to me?”No one says anything and this angers me the most, do they all think I pay them to laze around and just.. Pulling myself from the chair, I grab my phone.“If you are all not competent enough, I will have the lot of you replaced”“Mr Hills” one of them finally speaks up, “the company is in on the rise now, i believe we can make the most out of this if we decide to partner with Echo”A deep frown forms on my face as I tighten my jaw together. That name is the bane of my existence.“Find other Investors” I tell them, “or you all can submit your resignation letter”With that I storm out of the conference room. It’s been a while since I finally brought my company to the limelight and of course it is doing we
ODETTE’s POV.With a heavy sigh, I plop down on the chair as the two of them continue to stare back at me like they do not know me. This is the main reason why I didn’t tell any of them because I know they will get hyper sensitive about everything.“You know you didn’t have to fly back because of this right?” I ask Jayden, “it’s not as serious as you think”“Are you kidding me?” Kayden flares up, “all this was going on and you didn’t deem it fit to let us know? I would have killed that bastard myself if you told me earlier”“I can handle Zach on my own” I tell them, “now can we stop discussing this? Mum gave me an earful earlier today and the two of you won’t let me rest too. I have a lot on my plate right now and I can not think if anything else”“How is Malachi treating you?”“That question reminds me of mum” I say to the both of them and I see how their gaze drops. The fact that mum had gone through the same thing and I am also going through it means the moon goddess is quite aware
ZACH’s POV.After dropping the call, anger surge through me. I know this can only be Odette’s doing and I am not going to forgive her this time around but one thing, Bryer has to tell me why she went there. It could make sense since he was her alpha but why didn’t she tell me before leaving?Grabbing my jacket from the stand, I hasten out of the house and in no time, I am on my way to imperial regency. I didn’t know Malachi owned that property.It is the most expensive property in the whole of the country with its taxes being the highest too. He is trying to show off? I will show him that I can also make a name for myself. I have already started, it is just a matter of time before both our names are placed side by side.Twenty minutes later, I drive into the compound and I see Bryer seated on the porch, she shoots up from the chair as soon as she sees me and rushes into my embrace. Tears are glistening in her eyes and my anger skyrockets. Should he embarrass me in this way? What has B
BRYER’s POV.An hour agoI can not let him go without a fight, I have had our whole life planned out for us. He would mate me and we would travel the world together. I can’t let him leave, not like this.After Zach finishes his call and comes back Into the room, I am already in the shower but I had left a glass of juice for him.“Are you taking a shower?” He calls out to me.“Yes, I kept some juice for you. Make sure to take it”“Yes”I know Zach and I know how ruthless he can be. He is one of the worst wolves on earth after Malachi. Dealing with him requires a deep level of understanding and patience which is what I am doing. Before he finds out anything about me and Malachi, I should get my mate back. If I knew I would be pushing her towards my Malachi, I would never have suggested the divorce to him or made our relationship known.Looking back at myself In the mirror, I can’t help but smirk lightly. I look too good and I know Malachi would not be able to take his eyes off me when h
ODETTE’s POV.The moment I enter my room, I slump on the bed and I allow my thoughts to run wild. Zach had the nerve and he didn’t only do that, he brought her along with him. Believe me, I wanted to tear them into pieces. Who told him he could come and he could bring her. I was so mad and it was because Malachi was there that I was able to keep calm.My door opens up and Malachi saunters into the room. Looking at him, my face breaks into a smile. He has the ability of shifting my mood no matter how shitty it is.“Hey baby” he plops down on the bed beside me, “thought you said you wanted to shower?”“Well, here I am still seated and upset about the fact that that bastard came for the event, he also brought that bitch along with him”“What should we do to alleviate this mood of yours, my love?” He kisses the tip of my nose lightlyHe is smiling and he looks so cute. One thing with Malachi is the fact that he would never discuss things that make me upset, I have noticed that with him co
BRYER’s POV.I stand there gritting in anger as Malachi leads her to his Maybach and in no time, the two of them zoom off the premises.I am about to lose my fucking mind and there he goes with another lady in his car. It should have been me sitting with him in that car and not that lady who was dumped by Zach. It should be me if only that witch did her job well.I clench my teeth in anger trying to calm myself until a hand snake around my waist and Zach’s face comes into view.“Sorry for keeping you,” he says, beaming smiles.“It’s fine. Are you done?”“Yes, we should… the words hang in his mouth when some reporters rush over to us and I can’t help but roll my eyes. Do they never get tired of bombarding people with their stupid questions?“Mr Zach, is it true that you and your wife Mrs Odette got divorced?”“What led to your divorce sir?”“Is this lady the new woman?”“Please say something sir”Their questions are getting on my nerves. Who says I am the other woman? I have known Zach
MALACHI’s POV.After she leaves, the smirk on my face dies off and I return my attention to the bastard still standing in front of me. Who the hell does he think he is? Coming in front of my woman and acting like this? Is he tired of living? I will break him into a million pieces if he dares to go in front of her again, that’s how possessive I have become over the past few days. I want him to know that she is mine and mine alone.“I should have known something was up that day, the way you kept looking at my wife”“Ex wife” I correct him, “don’t say it like you are even worth the air that she breathes, do you understand what I am saying to you, Zachary? How dare you come here, how dare you come in front of her? You are fucking lucky that I did not tear you up when I can’t to save her from your dungeon”“What?” His eyes open wide for a moment, “it was you?”I take a step close to him, I am a bit taller than him so naturally I will look down on him,“What did you think?”“How dare you en
ODETTE’s POV.As soon as I hear what she said, anger envelopes me and the urge to slap Zach hard across the face surge through me. How did he even get here? I didn’t send him an invitation so how dare he? How could he be so shameless to show his face here? A lot of “how could he” is going in my head as I clench my jaw together.“How did he even get in here?” I walk to the door where Malachi is still standing, “I don’t remember sending him an invitation”“Calm down baby” Malachi turns to me, “remember you don’t need any stress right now”“He shouldn’t be here, malachi” I tell him, “how did he….He pulls me into his embrace and envelopes me there. Why the heck am I panicking? He is the one who committed a dirty act and showed up here, he should be ashamed and not me“Hey baby, you need to calm down” he whispers over my hair, patting my back lightly, “please”“You may leave” he tells her again and she closes the door behind her leaving the two of us.Malachi slowly pulls away from me bu
MALACHI’s POV.From the foot of the stage, I see her walk onto the stage looking so beautiful in her black body-con mesh dress with a slit running up her thighs. The dress is clinging onto her body perfectly, accentuating her hourglass figure. Her makeup is mild but looks so perfect on her and the red rouge on her lips make me want to pull her into my embrace and kiss her until no trace of that red lipstick is visible.My lips curl into a small smile as I continue to stare back at her, she is mine, my woman.The hall is already filled up, how I wish I could spend a little time with her before the show starts. She has been busy for most part of the day, same as me and we only got to speak through the phone.“Sister in law looks so pretty” Mason whispers into my ear and my heart swells with pride, I am glad that he is finally warming up to her.“I know right” I answer, “and she is mine to say the least”“Look at you being all proud” he says again and I smirk.My gaze returns to her agai
