NICHOLAS’s POV. Pressing my back against the chair, I massage the space between my brows as a little groan escapes my lips. This is when the door opens and my assistant saunters into the office with some documents in hand. “Boss” he bows gently and place the documents on the table before me, “Since the press conference organized by Avanti a few hours ago, our stocks have been plummeting despite the success recorded from the fashion week” “Hmmm, I see” I don’t bother to react to it because I already knew it was going to happen after everything. I also woke up this morning to the news about Michelle and I know who the person that did that was. I know Michelle is suspicious of me but she is right in all ramifications to be suspicious of me. “And about the company that published the article, Avanti has already sued them for defamation” “How fast” I mutter under my breath, “that’s good then, add another lawsuit to that. They dared to publish rubbish about my company and abo
MICHELLE’s POV. My phone keeps ringing non stop even after I have declined all the calls. I am not in the mood to talk to anyone, especially after Enzo left this morning for an impromptu business meeting to spain. It is clearly a day’s meeting but I am already missing him and how I wish he will just come home. My phone rings again, jolting me out of my train of thought and I roll my eyes to the back of my head before picking it up and pressing it against my ear. “Hello” my angry voice resonates around, “I am clearly ignoring your call and you are still calling” “I am outside your house” Nicholas’s voice filters into my ear and the frown on my face intensifies, how dare he? “You sure have some nerves showing your face in front of me” “Just come on out, Michelle” he blurts, “this is important” “You can talk to Enzo regarding anything Nicholas, you and I have no business talking to each other and the next time you call me, I swear you will regret it” “I won’t leave unti
ENZO’s POV. An hour ago. The moment Xavier brings the car to a halt in front of the hospital, I immediately alight and rush towards the entrance. I was in the meeting when Izzy called and I had to leave everything to come running back to America and goodness knows I won’t be able to forgive myself if anything happened to her. Just as I am about to enter the hospital, someone calls out my name and I turn around to see Nicholas taking long strides towards me. The moment I see him, my blood begins to boil and I just want to snap his head off his body. The nerve of him to show his face to me after what he did to Michelle. It is his fault that she is in the hospital now and dared to show his face here. “What the fuck do you think you are doing here?” I grit my teeth in anger as the inkling to grab him by the neck envelopes me. “I have come to talk to you about Michelle” he answers and I clench my teeth together. “Don’t you dare take my wife’s name with your mouth or I will
NATALIA’s POV. Standing in front of the mirror, my lips curl into a smirk as I drop the phone from my ear. It is true, the witch was not lying. Now I know why mother and father tried so hard to keep us away from them. They were the evilest of people. She told me how it worked and hearing that Michelle is in the hospital confirms it. This is it, I will no longer hold back no matter how ugly things get. If I can not get Nicholas to myself, I will not allow her to have him either. “You are one crazy bitch, Natalia” I mutter to myself Walking back to the bed, I slump on it and close my eyes, the image of Nicholas winding its way into my head. I want to see him and hug him and tell him how much I love him but he is being sensitive right now and I am just going to wait for him to calm down. I have waited three years to make a comeback and now I am not going back out no matter what. For a moment my mind drifts off to the dumbbell I had used to hit my tummy a while back and I c
ENZO’s POV. “Boss” Mustapha bows lightly as he pushes open the door for me and I venture into the room. Rome is tied to a chair and he has blood dripping from his nose, Mustapha must have beat him up so badly yet again. The moment he looks up and his eyes come in contact with me, his lips curl into a small smile revealing his bloodstained teeths. “Have you finally come to kill me, alpha Enzo?” His asks me, his voice coming out only in a whisper, “I am getting tired of being hit by your men every now and then” I lower myself on the chair opposite him while rolling up my sleeves, my eyes darkening at the sight of him. “There are sins and there are sins, Rome” I tell him, “there are sins you can commit and I will let you live but there are sins that you will commit and I will hunt you down to hell. I still have a score to settle with you about what your clan did to my mother but that’s by the way. Hurting my wife is where you have drawn the line and that I will never forgiv
MICHELLE’s POV. As soon as Enzo brings the car to a halt in front of the pack house, he immediately turns to me and I can see a look of impatience on his face. Lately everything has been a mess and how I wish my life can go back to normal but that can not happen as long as Natalia breathes and that’s my main concern now, to end this thing we have between us. “You have to stay in the car, Michelle” Enzo tells me, “no matter what, don’t come out of the car and let me handle this on my own” “Hmmm” I nod and he pulls me to a kiss before rushing out of the car. Some men immediately stand around the car and from the look of things, I know they are part of the pack's strongest soldiers picked by Enzo himself. Closing my eyes, I place my head against the headrest for a moment trying to decipher everything that’s happening. How did it all go wrong? How did our lives become linked to the Zu clan in such a way? The more I think about it, the more I am sure the moon goddess has s
ENZO’s POV. I push open the door and saunter into the room. Michelle is standing by the window and she doesn’t even bother to turn to me even as I walk up to her. Our first couple fight is kind of cute but this is not the time to think about it or even dwell on that. She is still pissed with me and I have to do everything to pacify her. “Hey kitten” I snake my hand around her waist, “how do you feel now?” “I am good” she answers blandly, her eyes still on the open window” “Are you still mad at me?” “No” “Common baby, talk to me” I turn her around and she faces me, “I am sorry okay?” “Tell me everything Enzo” Michelle demands, “tell me what is really going on? How exactly are you linked to the Zu clan? I can understand my own, Natalia is a bitch but you? How? What’s really going on? How did you get to know them and that witch, what was she saying? I let out a heavy sigh as I snake my hand around her waist, “I have a lot do dark side that I don’t want you to know a
MICHELLE’s POV. The next day Enzo and I cuddle all morning, we have breakfast in bed and watch a movie. He tells me he is not going to the office and he will take care of me for the whole day. A gesture that makes me so happy that I just want to stay in his arms forever. After lunch, I opted to take a nap and by the time I wake I up, it was already a few minutes past four. I must have slept in because as soon as my eyes open, I catch a glimpse of Enzo pressing a kiss on my forehead and my lips curl into a small smile. This man always knows how to make me feel better and I am always grateful to him. “Good evening babe” his husky voice filters into my ear. “Good evening ” I reply as I pull my body to a sitting position, my forehead creases into a slight frown when I see him all dressed up. “Are you going somewhere?” “Hmm” Enzo nods, “I have to go to the office for an impromptu meeting but I will be back soon. You don’t have to worry, I won’t take long, I will be home b
