NICHOLAS’s POV. I push open the door and saunter into the room. The moment Natalia sees me, she slowly pushes her body to a sitting position as a sigh leaves her lips. After her fall two days ago, I had to bring her back home after confirming that she lost the baby due to a miscarriage. At the time, I felt like the worst person on earth because that child was supposed to be mine but now it is gone. No matter how I thought about it, I couldn’t wrap my head around it but now seated in front of her with a small smile on her lips, I just don’t know how to feel. “Why do you look so glum?” She asks me, “are you okay?” “How do you feel now?” I ask her in return, my gaze traveling around her. “Just a little headache but I am tough, I will be fine” “I see, you will be fine '' I scoff as I take my hand through my hair as the thought of Michelle winds its way into my head. I remember how her giggles and her chuckles sound, how she makes a pout when she can not get something do
ENZO’s POV. I am seated on the kitchen counter watching my wife as she makes breakfast. Michelle insisted on making breakfast and I allowed her too. Now I am having a cup of coffee while watching her make breakfast for the both of us. I can’t even take my eyes off of her for reasons best known to me. Looking at how happy she looks while swinging her waist from side to side listening to some music, I make up my mind that I must protect this woman at all cost, no matter what happens. My attention is drawn to the phone on the table when it starts to blink and when I see the caller ID, I immediately pick it up and press it against my ear. “Hello” “Sir” Mr Hernandez’s voice filters into my ear. “Tell me, why have you called?” “I have sent the copy of the approved divorce papers to your email sir and I called to let you know” “Very well then, thank you” I end the call and place the phone back on the table as my attention returns to the lady who is now dishing the food i
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
MICHELLE’s POV. As I stand looking at the mirror, his hand snakes around my waist and my lips curl into a smile. This man can not keep his hands to himself and I totally understand why. Ever since the incident, Enzo has become more loving and more protective of me and the babies and I can’t help but be thankful to him. Nicholas was buried a month ago and the handing over has already been done. Lucy couldn’t bear what happened to her brother and left to unwind and believe me when I say I totally understand her. Nicholas died a painful death and a part of me has not come to terms with it yet. “What are you thinking about, baby?” His voice filters into my ear and I smile at him. “Shouldn't you be getting ready?” I ask Enzo, “it is our ceremony today and you are being naughty?” “I am not” he blurts, “I was missing you and decided to come and see you. You know I have to be mentally prepared and you my love” he pulls me closer into his embrace, “are my p
AUTHOR’s POV. “You know where to meet me if you are ready to save your daughter, I sent you an address” Maria said from the other end and the call went off immediately leaving Enzo and Michelle fuming in anger. The Michelle we all know can take anything but kidnapping her daughter is where Maria draws the line and that is something she will not forgive. “We have to save baby Odette, Enzo” she tells her husband, “and i swear I am going to make that Maria pay for daring to even touch my baby” “Aunt” Enzo turns to her, “please take care of kayden and Jayden, we have to meet with Maria and save Odette” “You don’t have to worry Enzo” aunt Loretta says, “I will be very vigilant here” “We need to go now” Michelle grabs a hold of Enzo’s hand, “we don’t have enough time” “I will Inform Izzy too” aunt Loretta says again. Not wasting any more time, Enzo leads Michelle towards the car pack and in no time, his black maybach zooms out of the premises at a very hi
MICHELLE’s POV. Looking at my little bundles of joy as the three of them are sleeping peacefully in their cradle, I can’t help but tear up and be thankful to the moon goddess for the gift of them. They look so adorable that no matter how I look at them, I can't get enough of them to say the least. My thoughts are interrupted when the door opens and Enzo saunters in and his face breaks into a smile. “Hey baby” he walks up to me and presses a kiss on my lips, “won’t your back hurt from staring at them for such a long time?” “I just can’t get enough of them babe” I tell him, “I just want to keep looking at them and remain thankful for the gift of them” “You have all the time in the world to admire them babe, now I have to tell you something” I turn my attention away from my babies and turn to Enzo. No matter how much I love my babies, Enzo is also a big part of my life and he is my number one priority. “Tell me babe” “Nicholas is here” At the mention of Nicholas, my
ENZO’s POV. Four months later. “Congratulations” Lawrence says as he walks up to me, “your wife has given birth to healthy babies” I sniff back the tears that had welled in my eyes earlier and my lips curls into a huge smile thinking about the pain she was in seven hours ago. This has been four months after the Maria incident and I have not seen or heard anything from her. Maybe she realized that having me was something her powers couldn’t get her and decided to return to her abode and Nicholas? He still is in my moonstone dungeon and he will never see the light of day as long as it doesn't cause any more damage, I will leave him to die slowly. Everything has been going perfectly and I want it to remain that way. The love, my wife and my life, I want everything to continue being the best it can be for us and our new gremlins. “Enzo!!” Lawrence calls out to me again and I jolt out of my train of thoughts, “won’t you come in to see your wife and your babies?” My heart s
MICHELLE’s POV Ten minutes ago. “Dang it” i hiss in anger as the blood continues to trickle down my pinky finger. Out of anger, I have hurt myself all because of that fraud, Maria. Closing my mouth over my finger, I feel my wound close up and I can't help but roll my eyes. Just as I make to leave the bathroom, my eyes come across the mirror and I see the woman from earlier. The same one who told me how much Enzo loves me, now I know why she felt familiar. How couldn’t I have known who she was? “I knew you felt familiar” I tell the figure in the mirror and she nods. “You were so invested in your husband that you couldn’t recognize me” “My apologies goddess selene” I bow to her slightly, “I didn’t know you came to see me personally” “Of course dear, you won’t bother about me when Enzo is always beside you to protect you” she tells me, “but I must warn you dear, you have to make haste and put everything in place. The one who is the enemy is a much bigg
ENZO’s POV. A huge slap connects with Maria’s face as Michelle grits her teeth in anger. She doesn’t even bother to collect the antidote from the lady at the door before slapping her hard across the face and I see how Maria’s gaze drops immediately and for a moment I can feel anger emanating from her. “How dare you, Maria?” Michelle half yells, “how dare you try to seduce my husband” “What exactly do you mean ma?” Maria asks back as a look of confusion flashes through hee face, “I can understand if I did something wrong and you have slapped me for it ma, what exactly did I do? “Are you trying to act dumb with me right now?” Michelle half yells, “you don’t know what you did?” “You don’t have to shout babe” I tell her from where I am standing, “remember you are pregnant” Maria looks at me for a while before returning her attention to the woman in front of her. “I left everything I was doing and had to rush to the airport, rush through all the processes so I could get to
MICHELLE’s POV. I actually didn’t mean to lash out like that but I hated the way they were ogling at Enzo even when they knew he was married. How can humans be so shameless? Thinking about it, I can’t help but feel more angry. How can they do that? Is it because I look pregnant now? Maybe I look to fat and they think I am ugly. I slowly pull away from Enzo and continue to stare back at him, my gaze darkening with each passing minute. “Enzo Phillips” I call out to him as I fold my hands across my chest, “did you perhaps bring me here so other ladies can ogle at how handsome you are?” “Of course not babe” Enzo responds as his lips curl into a smile, “don’t allow what those ladies say get to you okay?” “Do I look fat?” I ask him again. “Of course not” he answers again, “you don’t look fat, you look like the same Michelle that fainted beside my car a few months ago” “Liar!!” I blurt in anger while rolling my eyes, “you are clearly the center of attention now, why don’
ENZO’s POV. I can’t take my eyes off of the woman seated in front of the mirror as she puts the final touches to her hair and makeup. Lawrence has already come and gone and he assured us that everything is fine which made me happy. I was actually worried that I must have been too rough with her last night. She is putting on a white flowery dress and her hair is pulled back in a neat ponytail while the red color on her lips makes me gulp at intervals. She looks so good and I can not get enough of her or anything that concerns her. I just want to pull her into bed and cuddle all morning but I know this lady will not let me do that. She has already asked for a camera this morning and i know what she has planned, now i just have to be a doting husband to this wife of mine. “Why do you keep staring at me?” She asks as she clips her earring on. “Why?” I start walking towards her, “can’t I look at my wife again?” “That’s a look that’s filled with lust, Enzo” Michelle rolls her
MICHELLE’s POV. As soon as Enzo’s mouth comes in contact with my breast, my whole body shakes In his embrace and I just want him. I want him in a way that I have never wanted him before. This is the man I love and I want to be one with for all eternity. My back arches as Enzo’s hand slowly glides down my body and the moment he touches my folds, my heart skips a beat. “Hmmm, so wet!!” His deep husky voice penetrates my ear and my whole body shakes. “Please Enzo, don’t make me beg” I whisper into his mouth and make to touch him but he grabs a hold of my two hands over my head. “I want to touch you, Enzo” “Shhhh” he shushes me while staring deep into my eyes, his finger gently stroking my folds and I find my legs shaking because of what he is doing to me. “Ughhh!!ll” Enzo groans softly, “you are so wet, kitten” he whispers into my ear again, “I bet I will be able to thrust into you faster and deeper with the way your juice is pouring down my finger” “Please….” “Shhh
