MICHELLE’s POV. Standing near the door, I can’t help but admire the man who is seated behind the mahogany desk with his attention on the documents in front of him and how he looks so good in glasses and with his hair falling over his face like that. Gosh, this man is so hot and when I mean hot, I mean he is the most handsome man that has walked the face of the earth because how can he look this good even without trying? “Do I need to learn his skin care?” I think to myself and can’t help but scoff, this man literally doesn’t have any skin care routine. “Are you going to keep ogling at me from the door?” Enzo finally looks up as he leans back on the chair giving me a full view of the god that he is, “you are clearly drooling over me and you won’t come to meet me?” “I wasn’t drooling over you” I tell him and he chuckles lightly. “Have you forgotten that I can listen to your every thought, dear wife?” Wife? Hmm I love the sound of that. “Come here!! Gosh, I immedi
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
CHAPTER THIRTY NINE.MALACHI’s POV.I had just finished setting the table for dinner when she walks back into the house looking a bit dejected and tired. I don’t bother asking her what’s wrong because I already know what happened. Seeing her like this breaks my heart. She didn’t say anything for two days and In those two days, it felt like my whole life came to a standstill. She was in pain and I couldn’t do anything about that. It made me feel incapable and unable to take care of my woman.When she showed up at the study earlier, I was happy she was finally out of bed but that didn’t stop her from noticing something was wrong and I had to tell her, I had to break her heart once again. Believe me, I wouldn’t even need to lift a finger to kill an alpha like Zach but she made me promise to wait till the right time. The only thing I can do at this moment is to comfort her and wait for the right time.Letting out a sigh, I make my way towards her and pull her into my embrace. Odette does
ZACHARY’s POV.The moment those words reach my ear, my heart skips a beat. What does she mean by my child? What the heck was that? I know Odette and she wouldn’t have kept my child after we broke up. I didn’t even know she was pregnant, how could she call me and tell me something like that?When I went to her house two days ago, I intended to speak to her but seeing her in that condition, I was somewhat happy. She hurt me too, she hurt me and I couldn’t stop myself from injecting her with the wolfsbane before I decided to take her to the hospital. For the time we were together, she didn’t get pregnant but she didn’t hesitate to get pregnant for someone but right mow it feels like my world has come to a fucking standstill.I call her number again but she doesn’t answer. Luckily I am still in New York for a business meeting , I grab my car keys and rush out of the room. I want her to look me in the eyes and tell me those disgusting lies.In no time, my car pulls in front of Malachi’s ho
ODETTE’s POV.“Babe?” Malachi calls out to me for the umpteenth time but I just continue facing the wall, not having the energy or the ability to look at him. It hurts, it hurts so badly and there is nothing I can do about it.I struggled to accept the fact that I would give birth to Zachary’s child but I loved the feeling of being pregnant nonetheless. It was my child, mine but it was snatched from me. The more I think about it, the more sad and upset I am. I gently touch my tummy and close my eyes. It is empty now, my child didn’t even get the chance to come into this world..I sniff back a tear, I don’t want Malachi to see me in pain because he is in pain himself. I don’t want him to see me the way I am broken, broken from inside. It’s been two days but it feels like yesterday where I lost my baby. How will I be able to forgive myself for not taking good care of my baby?“Babe?” He calls out again but I continue to ignore him. I can’t even face him, how can I do that without feelin
MALACHI’s POV.Torturing someone who has one way or another gone against me is one of the sweetest things in my world, making them scream in pain and agony makes me and my wolf excited and that is the kind of immense joy I felt a while back, seeing Bryer in that kind of pain. She was my best friend, that would have never happened to her if only she respected boundaries and not called my wife names.Pushing the thoughts of her to her to the back of my head, I make my way into my room and at that moment, a call comes through my phone.Seeing her name pop up on the screen makes a warm smile appear on my face. Plopping down on the bed, I click on the receive button before pressing the phone against my ear.“Hello love” her voice filters through and I immediately feel my anger disappearing. This wife of mine has the power to make or break me and I am not going to stop her from doing whatever she wants with me, that’s how much I love and want her.“I have been calling you” Odette says from
BRYER’s POV.As soon as I drop my phone, I plop on the bed and close my eyes trying to calm my mind. Last night was really rough, I didn’t even know Zachary would end up believing me but he did and that was something I owe to Jacquline. If she didn’t give me that portion from the beginning, how would I have been able to have Zach wrapped around my fingers. He believed me without one single doubt and I hope it remains like that until I can finally get what I want.Now going back to Texas could be dangerous but I need to show Malachi that I am not scared of his threats. We belong side by side, I am the only person who is capable of standing beside him and protecting him when things go haywire.My phone chimes with a message and I pick it up, my forehead creases into an angry frown when I see the content of the message. The idea to check Zachary’s dash cam this morning occurred to me and when I did, I realized it caught everything that happened last night, more than enough to tarnish Od
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
