ENZO’s POV. Michelle steers in her sleep and gently opens her eyes; I can’t help but smile back at the beautiful woman lying on my bed and wearing my clothes. No matter how much I gaze upon her, I can not get enough of her. I am actually glad that I discussed my feelings with her and now I feel a lot better. I can’t help but thank this woman enough. She has been an epitome of blessing ever since she came into my life and I have the moon goddess to thank for that. “Good morning beautiful” I say to her and her lips curl up. “How long have you been staring at me?” Her feminine voice reaches my ear. “Long enough to know you were having an erotic dream about me” I answer with a coy smirk on my lips, “I could see it” “Enzo!!” She beams and the color rush on her face is actually very massive, I love to see her happy and smiling. “But we will discuss about your dream later, today is an important day for us” Michelle shoots out of bed, “of course, and I can’t wait to see the
MICHELLE’s POV. After dropping the call, I let out a heavy sigh as a well dressed man walks onto the stage. This is the first time I am attending a gala and I can say this is out of this world. Right from the hall, the decor down to the light and everything is top notch. For the first day of show, Enzo really outdid himself because I can not keep my eyes to myself, the sight of everything is so beautiful to behold and not to talk of the crowd that had gathered. The guest list was filled with important men and seeing how the hall is full, it is safe to say that Enzo has made his mark in the world he exists in. I am the only one seated here right now and Maria told me Enzo specially prepared this place for me. I get to see everything happening on stage and I can’t help but feel proud of the man I married, he treats me like I am the only person on earth. My thoughts are interrupted by the man on the stage again and he is saying something which is making everyone chuckle ligh
NICHOLAS’s POV. THREE HOURS AGO. With one final look at the mirror, I pick up my phone from the table and this is when the door opens and Natalia saunters into the room looking gorgeous in her black sequin dress, one of the newest collections but no matter how much I look at her and want to admire her, I can not get the words of Michelle out of my head. I don’t even know who is lying because on one hand Natalia is pregnant and on the other hand, Michelle gets pregnant with Enzo just a few weeks after they met. The more I think about it, the more upset I become because everything should have been about me. And I know for a fact that Michelle is not lying about her pregnancy because I can actually see it. The glow, the beauty and everything in between. I noticed it the very first day I saw her but I couldn’t even decipher it completely because we no longer shared that bond, I can no longer feel anything about her. “Don’t I look good?” Natalia’s voice jolts me out of my train
ENZO’s POV. I don’t let go of her hand until we enter my dressing room before I bang the close in anger and I see her flinch. A gesture that makes me realize how angry I actually am. When she sent me that text, I decided to actually meet her only for me to be caught up for a few minutes and I saw Nicholas holding onto her. The anger that resonated within me at that time was so massive that I actually wanted to kill him and destroy everything he has. “Calm down, Enzo” Michelle tells me, “you are so angry and it is emanating from you” “The fuck I am upset ” I hiss in anger, “how dare he? I should have actually ordered Izzy to kill his sister.., how..” I am still talking when she pulls me into her embrace and envelopes me in a tight hug and immediately I feel my anger begin to reduce. I snake my hand around her waist and bury my head on her shoulder while filling my lungs with her scent. “Are you calm now?” Her voice filters into my ear, “today is a very important day and y
MICHELLE’s POV. Seeing my husband looking all dashy and too good to be true on the runway, I can't help but feel proud of him. Is there anything this man can not do? He is the epitome of grace and poise, I will forever be thankful to the moon goddess for bringing him my way. Each outfit is a fight against the other and the moment he is done, I immediately make my way to his dressing room because looking at him from that runaway, I already want to pounce on him. I want to show him how much I love and adore him, I want to show him that through my actions and not my words but what I didn’t expect is that his Junior sister will walk in on us with one of my peaks in his mouth. The moment I see Izzy saunter into the room, I immediately push Enzo off and pull my dress upwards while his own gaze darkens as he turns his attention to the intruder. “I am….I…sor…” Izzy’s voice keeps trailing off and I can totally understand why. I would have also been in that kind of situation if I am
MICHELLE’s POV. With a heavy sigh, I slump on the bed and close my eyes for a moment to relax. Tonight has been very hectic and all I want to do is just lay in bed and sleep. After I left Natalia at the packing lot, Enzo and I attended some interviews and finally the first day of the show came to an end. A few reporters still swooned around us even after everything was over and we still had to take some pictures. I have never been in front of so much people before and with the way Enzo showed he was doting on me, I should expect more of that kind of attention. After a few minutes, I push myself out of bed before getting out of my clothes. I should take a shower before Enzo finishes his call. The moment I step into the shower and the water pours down on my body, I let out a slight moan of relief, I actually need this. As the water continues to pour, my mind drifts off to what Mustapha told me. The fact that Natalia is acquainted with them troubles me a lot and more abo
MICHELLE’S POV. After a few seconds, doctor Lawrence finally looks up from his computer and his gaze rests on me, He presses forward on the chair before pushing his computer towards me. “Here” he points at the screen, “this is the lining of your womb and it’s a little weak since the tumor. It has been like that for a while now it’s nothing to be concerned about” “Is that why I had that pain yesterday?” “Hmm” he nods, “everything is fine and your babies are absolutely fine, you don’t have anything to worry about” I finally let out a sigh, thanks to the moon goddess. “I have also prescribed some new drugs for you, this is the second month of your pregnancy, you will need them” “Thank you so much doctor Lawrence” “You are welcome, make sure to take a lot of rest. You need it, you are carrying triplets inside of you, we can’t take the risk” “Of course” After a few other discussions, I pull my body out of the chair and make my way out of the office. Enzo left for
MICHELLE’s POV. It is already past eight and Enzo is not home yet. I have called him several times but he didn’t respond, Maria also told me that he has left the venue. Did he go straight to the pack house? I am not so sure because I told him to come straight home and the Enzo I know will never make me worry. I turn around to pick up my phone and this is when I see Izzy’s call coming through and my heart skips a beat. I hastily pick up the phone and click on the receive button before pressing it against my ear. “Michelle” her voice filters through, “I don’t have much time but Enzo is here at the pack house and he won’t see anyone or talk to anyone. He came in thirty minutes ago and has since locked himself up in his room and has refused to come out” “I am on my way now” I immediately drop the phone and grab the car keys before heading out of the room. The moment I step out, an unknown man bows to me and from the look of things, he is completely human. “I am the ne
ODETTE’s POV.“Good morning mum” the two of us air kiss before she helps me to sit. After Malachi left for Texas this morning, I decided to come stay home until he gets back. It was not a decision I made on my own, he made me promise to come back home to my parents until he gets back and I did. It’s been so I decided to come see my parents.“Where is dad?” I ask mum.“He has a meeting in his study” she replies, “let me make you some soup. You can go and say hi to him”“Okay mum”I watch her walk towards the kitchen before I also walk towards the elevator. They have a lot of servants but mum always prefers to cook for us and for dad. Dad has practically stopped asking her not to go to the kitchen. Anything to make his wife happy.As soon as I push dad’s door open, his face lights up and a smile spreads across it.“Who do we have here?” He asks, removing the glasses that is perched beautifully on his face. This man, he can give other older handsome men a run for their money because wha
BRYER’s POV.He has gone against everything that I believe in, my love and my hatred for him. He killed Rome, the only person who saw me as family in this damned world. He killed him and sent his body to me. For this, I will make him pay. I love him but he has made a mistake, a mistake that I will never be able to forgive. Maybe this is what we need, becoming arch enemies.I didn’t bat an eyelid taking the battered body of Rome to his front door. I want him to always remember what he did and how Rome looked when he died. I want Malachi to always remember that he is a murderer and he will pay for what he did. I love him to death but I also hate him in the same way.“Malachi!!” I continue to yell out his name, not caring if he is sleeping. I mean, how can he sleep? He killed one of his kind, he must face the consequences of his actions and I will take my revenge on him. Up until now I have been holding back because I love him and I want to be with him but now I am going to make it my li
MALACHI’s POV.For the rest of the night, I can’t even keep my eyes off of her. She looks beautiful, so extraordinary, like someone straight out of the painting. Everything on her body is spectacular and she can give every fucking model a run for their money.When we entered the restaurant to have dinner, I couldn't help but notice the waiters ogling at her like they wanted to eat her whole but they were wise enough to keep their stupid fantasies to themselves.“How did you enjoy dinner?” I ask her on our way home, a huge grin on her face.“Well” she shrugs, “it was good but the most exciting part is that I got to spend enough time with you today. I mean I loved every single moment of it. Thank you so much baby, I really appreciate everything you do for me”“Well, I live to please” I pull her closer and press a gentle kiss on her forehead, “now we have to get you home and Into bed. You need all the rest you can get okay?”“Of course my love”Odette leans into my embrace and closes he
ODETTE’s POV.As soon as the car pulls up in front of the building, my jaw fucking drops to the ground. This is the Lincoln Center for the performing Arts, one of the most notable opera houses in New York City. I have never been here but I love operas. I guess it’s one of the perks of living amongst humans.“What are we doing here, Mason?”“Well” he shrugs, “don’t really know”Someone opens the car door for me and helps me step out.“Mrs Hernandez, we have been waiting for you” he says and I flash him a smile, “I am in charge of taking you inside to your seat”“Okay?” My eyes dart across the two men.“I am Brandon, I will be your chaperone for tonight”“Is my husband here?” I start to look around but I didn’t see a sign of him or his car.“We will have to go inside to see that” he flashes me a toothed smile again as Mason comes to stand beside me.“Sister in law, I will come at exactly eight to pick you up, okay?”“You aren’t coming in?”“Of course not”With a nod, he turns around and
ODETTE’s POV.We all watch in horror as the man hands me the card and I cringe when I read it.Even if you go away from me, even if you are a million places away from me, I still love you Odette. I have never stopped loving you and I hope you find a place in your heart to forgive me. This is me wishing you a happy anniversary”The more I read, the more I cringe. What the hell? Did he actually write this? So cliche and so bad, it doesn’t even bring a smile to my face.“I think you need to take these back, Mr” I tell him, “return them to the person who sent you”“I don’t think…“Take them away” Malachi growls, “and I mean now” his eyes darken and I know he is trying to hold himself from getting upset. I can’t even blame him, I mean how can my ex husband send me a truck load of flowers to my new husband’s house? Is he insane?“You should take these away before I put my hands on you” Kayden tells him and the man fidgets a little.“Okay sir”We all watch as he drives off and I let out a h
MALACHI’s POV.Today, I planned to stay at home all day with my wife, watching her favorite movies and fucking her into oblivion but a certain police commissioner couldn’t do his job, now here I am fully dressed up in my suit sitting across from him. The click click of my ball pen cuts through my train of thought and I realise I had been talking to me.“What did you say?” I ask him.“My apologies for what happened, Mr Bromte” he says again and I scoff.“Tell me what actually happened? You said it was safe right? How did someone get their hands on it?”“We are still trying to find that person, Mr Bromte” he says again, “I will keep you posted on…“Do I look like a fool to you?” I cut him off and a look of uncertainty flashes through his face. One thing I can not tolerate is someone lying to me, I hate it, I hate it so much that it makes my blood boil and the only thing I want to do now is grab him by the neck and make him spill the truth. Aside the fact that I try to do things in order
ODETTE’s POV.“Good morning baby” Malachi says as I step out of the shower. He is clad in a pair of grey sweatpants and a white Tee. His hair in a messy bun while he has a bored look on his face.I look at the time and it’s already past seven.“Aren’t you going to work today?” I ask him, making my way towards the vanity table but instead of answering, he pulls his huge body off the bed and starts walking towards me like a panther wanting to pounce on his prey. As soon as he gets to me, he encircles my waist from behind and presses a gentle kiss on my bare back.“I am not going to work today” he whispers into my ear, “today, I am going to stay at home all day”“I thought you had a lot of work?”Another kiss to the back and my insides heat up. We haven’t been intimate in a few days and I can’t lie, I miss him but the recent happenings have kept us on our toes. I missed him , I missed having him buried inside of me, I missed looking like a mess underneath him.“What’s going on in that fi
BRYER’s POV.I didn’t expect to find Malachi's wife here but seeing her with him and seeing the way Zachary kept looking at her until she left made me upset. He should be over her by now and he shouldn’t even be looking at her that way. I am mad at him yes but that doesn’t mean I have forgotten how my body felt underneath him. I can’t lie, he and Malachi are beasts when it comes to the bedroom game. I want to feel Malachi inside of me again but since I can’t have him yet, Nicholas can do that for me.“I didn’t know your ex wife still visited you” I say out loud, dropping my bag on the table and covering the space between us.“It’s none of your business, Bryer,” he tells me, lowering himself on the couch. “I know why she came here, she wanted to get the truth out of me and I told her. I know I would be arrested sooner or later but the fact that she came here to our house Is enough for me. I killed our unborn baby too, this is the least I can do for her. I care about her more than anyth
ODETTE’s POV.“Good morning ma” the house help greets as she opens the front door. She must be new because I have not seen her before.“Where is Zach?”“He has gone for a run, ma’am”“Good, I will wait for him”With that, I step into the house but she tries to stop me.“I don’t know you ma”“You do not need to know me, young lady” I gently cut her off, “just ring your master and let him know that Odette has come to see him. He should be running back in no time”Not saying anything again, I go further into the house and for a little while, my heart breaks again. The four walls of this house once held my happiness and everything, Zach and I shared everything we possibly could but now it looks tainted, like the devil himself had come to stay here. It no longer looks like the house I shared with my ex husband, it was now part of a mistake I should never make again. Nothing has changed in the house but everything looks different, even our wedding pictures are still hanging on the wall. Did
