Umbrie and Kieran walked down the stairs, they spent a long time together upstairs that it's already evening. They did not even know Mr and Mrs Diaz are already in the house. Kieran saw his mother sitting in the living room when he got down with Umbrie."Mom? You're home already?" He asked still surprised.They did promised they will reduce their work load and create time for their own son. They have been coming home early so far and giving him much attention.She smiled, "Yes darling... Oh hello Umbrie."Umbrie bowed a bit, "Hello ma'am... I didn't know you were home.""Oh I've been home since alright. I wanted to come call him but I found out you're so busy so I decided not to disturb you. You both must be having a great time." She winked at Umbrie."Umm... Yes ma'am. You've been here the whole time?""Yes, I've been here."Umbrie felt like entering the ground after her mate's mom let her know that. She never expected that they'll be home, she felt a bit embarrassed and shy. She loo
Jared went home, where his sister was talking to her mother and father with Sky present. They all looked serious that he began to wonder what happened while he was out."What's with the gathering? Did something happen?" He asked coming into the living room."Oh you're here Jared. Your sister's got good news, you should be proud of her." Mrs Wynn said. "Good news? Is she getting married to someone else?"Umbrie scoffed, "A dream that will never come true. Kieran is the only man I will ever get married to even if you don't like him. It's my choice and not yours.""I'm not attending anyways, no need to tell me." He said walking away.Mr Wynn stopped him, "Will you listen to what she has to say at least? I can't believe you kids are this hard to deal with.""I am an adult dad." Jared protested."Yeah right." Umbrie laughed, he glared at her."Umbrie tell him the news or let him go to his room." Mrs Wynn warned her."I am representing the school in a writing competition which will take pl
Daphne met up with Jared at his apartment again. She could hardly sleep through the night thinking about what happened between them. She blushed everytime she thought about him, it seems she is getting deep and deep into him. She wanted more of him as she saw his image in her head. She hugged him as soon as he opened the door, catching him unaware. He did not think she would be getting more romantic after how shy she was yesterday. "Oh, Daphne I'm glad you're here on time. I was...""Hi Jared." He was stopped by her hug. "It seems like you missed me more than I thought." He said teasingly closing the door. "Didn't you miss me?" She pouted looking up at him. He chuckled, "Is there a reason I won't miss an angel like you? Of course you know I did miss you a lot." She scoffed, "Am I really an angel?""You don't know? I mean I've always wanted to ask you this, if you're here, then who's in heaven now?" She laughed more, "Oh my God! Are you using pick up lines on me right now? I'm g
Jared ran his hands through his hair in frustration. He never thought he would need to explain himself to anyone let alone a human who is now his mate. The fact that he doesn't want to lose her overwhelms him a lot. In such a short period of time, he has gotten so used to her that he doesn't want to leave her. This could only be the work of the moon goddess."Daphne, it's not what you think. Tiana and I... We used to date but then we broke up when I found you." He started.She stopped him, "What? So what you are saying now is that I am the reason you left your beautiful Barbie? If you hadn't found me, then you would still probably be with her now right?""That's not it. We already made an agreement at the beginning. I told her what would happen if I was ever to find my mate. We used to be just friends until she decided to initiate dating. She already knows what would happen after I found my mate, I thought she understood." Jared explained, getting more frustrated.Daphne nodded, "I se
Kieran dropped Umbrie off at the airport to meet up with the teachers and the rest of the students going with her. He thought of secretly following them, but then decided against it after thinking about what might happen if Umbrie finds out. He doesn't want to get into another heated argument with her where she would want to break the mate bond again.He went back home and counted the hours waiting patiently for her call. He was worried about her and could not concentrate on anything. After a long wait, he finally saw his phone ringing. It wasn't a saved number but he guessed it to be her."Umbrie? Is that you Umbrie?" He asked desperately."Were you expecting a call from someone else? Don't tell me you decided to cheat on me right after I just left." Umbrie's voice came from the other side.He laughed in relief, "You scared me. I was so worried about you. Why didn't you call me earlier?""What? We just got here now. I have not called my parents, I decided to call you first...""Becau
Daphne took a cab to the grocery store as her Stepmom told her to get some things on her way. She was able to get them on time but she didn't take a cab since the store is not too far from her. She was walking almost close to her street when she got pulled out of nowhere.She could not scream as her mouth was covered and strong forces are holding her.She was dragged until she got thrown on the ground. She got scared, the only thing she thought about was if this is related to her boyfriend. What if there's someone who wants to take revenge on him like in the movies?Her eyes opened as she looked around. It's a dead end. She looked up to see the people who got her. They are two girls she doesn't know. She began to think back wondering what she did wrong."Who are you? What do you want from me?" She asked annoyed.The first one laughed, "Can you imagine? She's asking who we are Emma.""She's actually mad at us Alice." Emma also laughed."What do you girls want from me? Who are you?" Da
Daphne felt pain all over her body. Her bones felt like they can't be moved again. She completely felt like she was paralyzed. Opening her eyes to find herself still alive, she wondered how she managed to make it when she was on the verge of death before.She got scared seeing Jared beside her. She remembered Tiana's words vividly. She panicked that Tiana could appear from nowhere seeing them together. Though she loves him, she feels that letting him go would be the best option for her.She had been suffering her whole life with her father. The same thing is now happening again. Those girls would continue to beat her until she leaves Jared or she ends up dying."She did this to me because of you. I've been beaten up by my father my entire life. Now I have to go through the same because of you. Why is it always me?" She lamented crying.Jared tried so hard to hold back his tears. He wouldn't cry like this usually, but Daphne is just special to him. He feels something unique and differe
Jared stopped at Tiana's house. Then he called her to meet him outside. He only waited a few minutes before she burst out the door happily. She looked happy that Jared came to see her. She did not think about why he must have come, she thought he's just here to get back together."Wow. You're here to see me already?" She said excited, she tried hugging him but he stopped her."Really Tiana? You're asking me that? Is this why you did that to Daphne? You think that would make me come to you because I am so scared you and your friends would beat her up again?"Tiana was taken aback by his sudden outburst. She saw how his eyes changed colour and how angry he is. She moved back, scared and thinking he might hurt her."Why are you looking at me like that? I did nothing wrong! She deserves it! She just came out of nowhere to take you away from me! You think it is that easy for me to let you go??!" Tiana yelled, knowing she got caught already.Jared could not believe the level of evil in her.
