ENZO’s POV. I see how Michelle’s face gets red and I scoff, she is just too funny even on a hospital bed. Earlier when that pain enveloped her, fear actually gripped me and I lost all sense of reasoning but seeing her smiling and joking around now, I feel a lot better. I actually don’t know what the moon goddess is planning but the lady in front of me is definitely something else, something I would like to get closer to more than this and I am going to make sure of that. Her pain, her heartache, her sadness and her anxiety, I want to get rid of everything and anything that makes her sad and upset. “Stop staring at me like that” Michelle says after a while, “I don’t want to be too close to you” I chuckle lightly, I love the fact that she is trying to act hard to get, it makes me want to be around her the more. My mobile begins to ring again and the look on her face changes which makes my smirk widen. Is she being jealous right now? Thinking about it, it kind of make
NATALIA’s POV. Nicholas has been gone for most part of the day because of the wolf hunters that were caught a day ago. Life at the pack house was getting better and everything was on track. This was the life I wanted, this was the life for me. The life that my little sister stole from me. Speaking of little sister, I had asked someone to find her for me but no one knows where she went and that was better. It was a good thing that she disappeared from our lives for good, I couldn’t stand her anyways. Now under the tainting sun of the city, I am seated at the foot of the im swimming pool with a bottle of champagne beside me and my favorite music blaring from unseen stereos when one of the workers walks up to me with a slight bow. “Someone is here to see you, Luna” she announces and my forehead creases into a slight frown. I am not expecting anyone and Nicholas is not back yet, that I am sure of. So who has come to see me at this time? “Who is it?” I ask her again, “who
MICHELLE’s POV. My mouth hangs open in awe as Enzo opens the car door for me. The mansion in front of me looks like something out of a fairytale. Every detail, every extravagance is unique and I can not help but marvel at it. The Middlemist Red Camellia gracing his front lawn catches my attention and I can not help but be wowed. This flower is one of the rarest flowers and Enzo has it in abundance and not to mention the beautiful mansion that looks like a chapel. The one who designed this house must have spent years coming up with the best design. “You look impressed” his voice filters into my ear and I jolt out of my reverie of thought before turning my head towards him, my eyes didn’t miss the smirk on his lips. He looks proud. “The house is really beautiful” I tell him, “of course I am impressed” “This is the only building you will ever find like this, Michelle” he tells me, “one of a kind” “Hmmm” My eyes catch the attention of the two people walking
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
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
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
