ENZO’s POV. After I leave Michelle alone in the room, I briskly make my way towards the study. Izzy and Xavier are already waiting for me and the look on both faces tells me this is more than an abduction. Diego wants me to unleash my full wrath and he will not like it. “She settled in fine?” Izzy asks as I lower myself on my favorite reclining chair. “Hmm” I answer with a nod before turning to Xavier, “tell me everything that happened” “Hakeem and Melisa had gone to the mall and that’s when it happened. Here” he drops his phone in front of me, “Diego sent me the video” I pick up the phone and look at the video, my eyes darken at the sight of it. From the look of things, Diego has planned this for a long time now after what happened some weeks ago. “What do you think we should do, Enzo?” Izzy asks me, “we can not leave Hakeem and Melisa with them, those two are part of our best soldiers” “I will talk to Avra” I finally answer and her forehead creases into a frown.
MICHELLE’s POV. As soon as Enzo kisses me, something reverberates over my body. I am not sure what is or what it signifies but I am sure it is definitely something. Something that will change my entire life forever. I don’t push him away, I allow him to hold onto me and deepen the kiss. Maybe this is what I need, to finally get rid of the thoughts of Nicholas away from my head. For three years, I stayed loyal to him but he didn’t bat an eyelid before getting my sister pregnant. I no longer care about him and I am going to do me starting forward. With this at the back of my mind, I snake my hand around Enzo’s torso and deepen the kiss. We continue to kiss and hold onto each other. His hand cups the small of my back and our tongues dance in sync. For a while, I am lost in his world. In the beautiful world he has shown me just in a day and now for some reason, I want to remain in that world and allow him to take care of me in my mess. After a few seconds, Enzo slowly pu
ENZO’s POV. With my back pressing against the chair, I let out a heavy sigh. I have not slept a wink since yesterday night. After feeding Michelle dinner, I helped her to bed and came back to my study. I have a lot of work to finish off and it is taking a lot of time. I have two surgeries scheduled for the next seven hours and some pack issues I need to take care of. Just a day away from Los Angeles and my table is packed full with work. My musing is interrupted when my mobile begins to beep. At first I want to ignore the call but on second thought, I pick up the phone and my eyes darken at the sight of the caller. The nerves!! I click on the receive button before pressing the phone against my ear. “Why have you called?” “I am in front of your house Enzo” Avra’s voice filters into my ear, “let’s have a talk” “The nerve of you to show up in front of my house, Avra” I growl in anger, “how dare you?” “You can do what you chose to me Enzo, I really need to see you”
MICHELLE’s POV. With one last look at the mirror, I nod at myself before making my way out of the room. Today is my appointment with the doctor Enzo recommended and I am feeling optimistic about it. I have a feeling that I would hear some good news in a few hours and I am excited. Luckily after that day at the hospital, the pain subsided but I still felt it on a few occasions. Earlier, Enzo sent me a message saying he would be late since he has a surgery at the hospital and he told me one of his men will bring me to the hospital. He made breakfast before leaving and I can’t help but feel indebted to him, he has treated me so nicely that I can not thank him enough. Looking at myself again, I nod again. I am dressed in a pair of denim flay pants and a white long sleeve shirt to go with it and I pull my hair into a messy bun. I am in no mood to dress to kill and this is the perfect dress for me at this moment. I pick my my glasses before making my way out of the room an
ENZO’s POV. As soon as Michelle crashes into my embrace, I pull her into my arms and she rests her head against my chest. I hate the fact that she is in so much pain and I can do little or less to help her. I hate seeing pain in her eyes, I hate seeing her cry but right now even with all the power I have, I am unable to help her. “Give us a moment, Lawrence” I tell him and he nods before making his way out of the examination room leaving the two of us. I allow her to cry until I can only hear her whimpers then I slowly disengage from her. “Do you feel better now?” “I don’t want to lose my baby, Enzo” Michelle tells me, “i really don’t want to” “Look here princess” I gently grab a hold of her hand, “you trust me yeah?” “Hmmm” she nods softly. “You have a long life ahead of you and you can not allow such a thing to pull you back. You can have as many babies as you want in the future, let’s get rid of this one and you can.. “No!!” Michelle immediately interrupts me
MICHELLE’s POV. I actually find its very hard to believe that the Enzo seated beside me is the same Enzo Philips that has taken the world storm in a few years. I am not particularly versed in Avanti but i knew how big the brand was and how people wanted to work with it. Even Nicholas had made mention of wanting to venture into the fashion industry and patner with Avanti. Not in my wildest dreams did I ever think i would he in the same space with him but here he is, sitting beside me with a smug look on his face. I didn’t even get to complete my thoughts when Enzo brings the car to a sudden halt and turns his head to me abruptly. “Can you feel that?” He asks me and my forehead creases into a slight frown. “What do you mean?” I ask him back. “I can hear your thoughts” he drops the bombshell and I gulp, what kind of a crazy maniac is he? How can he say something like this? How can he hear my thoughts? “What are you talking about now?” “I am fucking serious” he rasped
ENZO’s POV. One thing I hate the most in my life is when someone lies to me or tries to take me for granted and that is exactly what Diego and his pack are trying to do. Neither has he returned Hakeem and Melisa and why the hell did he send his right hand beta to spy on me. Thinking about It, I want to cut off all his fingers with this plier but remembering the lady watching me from the screens, I calm down. “I will ask you one last time, why are you here?” “You can as well kill me” he growls in anger and I scoff. Is he kidding me right now? Killing him is just a piece of cake for me. “You know I do not understand what kind of a leader Diego is” I say to him, “sending you to my pack house to spy on me? Did he perhaps offer you a severance pay for your death? The man tries to talk but I grab a hold of his neck and yank him closer. “How dare you come here and spy on me, Anton?” “I only do what my master tells me to do..” He is still talking when I whack him hard acro
MICHELLE’s POV. I can feel the color rush on my face as I watch Enzo make his way out of the room. Isn’t he the weirdest? How can he do and say something like that so casually? My insides are heating up and I feel all giddy with excitement, gosh!!. Even Nicholas didn’t make the butterflies in my stomach run around like this and this man has been doing it since the day I set my eyes on him. “It seems we are in for a big trouble” my wolf says inside of me and I gulp, i really I am in for a big bag of trouble right now. “Aren’t you coming?” His voice filters into my ear. “On my way” I call after him before rushing out of the room. The drive back to the house is a silent one, Enzo keeps on receiving calls while I just focus my attention on the road ahead. I have a lot of things going on in my head and I am glad he is busy, I don't even know how to answer his question yet. After about half an hour, he brings the car to a halt in front of the house and I heave a sigh, I
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
MALACHI’s POV.The police commissioner stands up the moment he sees me and he extends his hand for a shake which I readily accept. Odette’s brothers and my lawyers are outside, I will prefer to meet him on my own for now.“I am glad you came as soon as you got the call, sir” he says.“Tell me, what’s the status?”“Apparently Mr Zachary has evidence portraying you as the killer of his assistant. A voice recording where you were talking about the body and also a picture of you near the body before it was taken to the crematorium as per your request”I can’t help but scoff, Zachary is as sly as a fox, I should really give him that.“The police are working on analyzing the voice recording to know if you actually said it but ideally, an arrest warrant was put out for you and that’s why I called”“Do you think I killed her?”“Of course not sir” he gives an awkward laugh, “I don’t believe that sir, it’s just the situation right now”“I will cooperate with the investigations as long as you wa
ODETTE’s POV.“Good evening mum” I hug her lightly and her cologne filters into my nose, she smells so nice and I kind of miss her, those days when we would just sit and talk together.“You look dashing, sweetheart” mum says excitedly, her eyes traveling around my body.“Well” I shrug, walking over to dad, “I live to impress” with a smile, I lean into my dad’s embrace.“Good evening dad”“Well, you completely forgot about us after your honeymoon” he has a pout on his lips and I can’t help but laugh out loud. Shouldn’t mum be the one sulking? But dad never seems to disappoint me.“Well, I have a good looking husband, I need to take in all his sight, dad. But not to worry, I will make sure to come and see you often”“Of course baby” he pats my back lightly as his eyes soften, he loves me and I know that for sure.The door opens up and the two boys saunter in. Is it my eyes or does Kayden look more muscular and a bit taller than Jayden? I haven’t seen him since the wedding. I guess this
MALACHI’s POV.“Good morning sir” Emma says as she saunters into the office.“Good afternoon Emma” I flash her a little smile, “how was your night?”She freezes, a look of confusion appearing on her face.“Are you okay sir?” She asks, “you..I chortle a little, I know it’s surprising to her and to everyone else that I actually smiled this morning since I came to the office. But the news of Odette being pregnant has made me so happy that I don’t know any other feeling than happiness. When she was pregnant with Zachary’s child, I can’t lie I was jealous but I was still willing to accept the child because it also belonged to Odette but now, she was carrying my child. Mine, not Zachary’s but mine. I don’t think there is anything else that would make me more happy than this. The coming days are sure to be blissful and I am all for it.“I am very fine, Emma” I tell her while checking my watch, “make sure to clear my schedule after this morning’s meeting okay? I have dinner plans with my wif
ODETTE’s POV. My hands are still trembling from before and the only thing I want now is to hug my husband and tell him how much I love him. Right now there is not Breyer or Zachary, it’s just me and Malachi, us, our world. I look at the time again and it’s already been fifteen minutes since I called him, he should be pulling up by now. Like the moon goddess is on my side, I hear the gates open and his car drives in. Excitement surges through my entire body as I manage to hold my smile. With one final look at the mirror, I pick up the bouquet of flowers that’s on the table beside me before heading over to the door. The door opens up and his familiar scent fills my nose before he appears looking dapper in his brown suit and his hair slicked back to perfection. His face immediately breaks into a smile as his eyes travel over me. “Someone is looking hot” Malachi says, “what’s the occasion baby?” “Here” I hand him the bouquet. “Guys get flowers too?” “Come on” I can’t help b
