Chapter 51Luke povSandra and I were getting closer than I ever imagined, she now trusts me with a lot of things especially leaving me with her kids, I could easily pass as her boyfriend outside. We visited places together and we got so close that I imagined her to be my bride already. She had such a sweet character that I always bless the day King Eric rejected her. “Hey, why do you keep smiling?” Sandra walked up to me and asked. I sighed and turned to look at her, I wanted to pop the question so desperately. I wanted her to know how I feel about her but I was just too scared of rejection, so scared that I found it hard to tell her. “Do you still love Eric?” I didn’t know how the question popped into my mouth but I was very curious about her relationship with King Eric and I was also scared of losing her to him because my aim is to get everything that belongs to him no matter what it is and what it’ll cost. “Hey, you just called him by his name, do you want to get your head cho
Chapter 52Sandra PovThe moment Luke left the house, I went inti the room with the kids so they can freshen up and prepare for dinner befire going to bed.“Mom.” Micheal called for the first time, it felt like my world had suddenly become complete the moment I heard my son call me mom. He sounded so cute as he called me. My fragile heart couldn’t help but cry when I heard him calm me mom. I can’t wait for his little sister to do same one day.“Why are crying?” Claire asked me the moment she walked into the room, I wiped my tears and hugged her Claire was wondering what was going on but seeing how emotional I was she could already tell that it has to be something that concerns the twins. “He just called me mom, while I was removing his dress.” I said to Claire excitedly. Claire was even more excited than I was when she heard what I said. “Really? He called you mom?” Claire asked me to confirm she heard me clearly, she walked closer to my baby and started telling him to call her aun
Chapter 53Luke PovI don’t know what it is but I wasn’t comfortable with the way I heard Sandra talking, she sounded like she was having a conversation with someone ste didn’t want to talk to, I tried getting her to reply me but she wasn’t hearing me, I got so worried as I was driving to Sandra’s house. It was at this point I realized that I might really be having feelings for Sandra and they’re growing so much that I don’t want to. I hit my car several times out of frustration. I have been guarding my heart all these years, I have avoided anything that’ll make me get attached to a lady so why now, why am I finding myself so attached to Sandra. I don’t want to have any weakness while fighting for what I want. I increased my car speed when I snapped out of my thoughts. ***************After a long ride I finally got to the house, I drove into the compound immediately and walked out of the car. I saw Claire standing outside and I could clearly tell from the way she was standing tha
Chapter 54Sandra PovCassie turned to look at me and sighed. I knew Cassie has never liked he but I never knew her dislike for me would get to the extent where she would talk of leaving the house because of my presence.“Why would you ask me such a question?” Cassie asked the the moment she turned to look at me. I stared at her face while she was talking to me but she didn't look like she was really happy about leaving but there's no way I wouldn't think she was leaving because of me.“You know why I asked the question, if you think you can not stay here because of me, it's find i’d gladly leave but I will not stay here and be the reason why Mrs Axel will live without her daughter.” I said to Cassie and turned to leave. “I'm sorry,” I thought I was hearing double at first so I decided to turn around and see the face of the person that was apologizing to me and it was really Cassie's face. “Did she just apologize to me?” I asked myself as I turned to look at her again. “You don't h
Chapter 55King Eric povHaving Sandra back is something I never saw coming, I couldn't think of any other way to bring her back to the groove because I know how stubborn she can be sometimes. In fact everyone in the groove knows how stubborn she is, that's why even my mom could not scold me for going through those me and to get her back to the house. The kiss we had few minutes ago keot lingering in my head, I can it believe I was feeling so happy because Sandra agreed to kiss me. I never imagined a day would come when I'll be head over heels for Sandra. It's a brand new day what made it a brighter one is because Sandra was walking up by my side. I opened my eyes and she was sleeping next to me happy, she didn't look like she was not happy from look on her face while she was sleeping. While I was stating at her she opened her eyes and out eyes met. I immediately closed my eyes so that it won't show that I was looking at her earlier but I couldn't tell if she had already seen me b
Chapter 56Sandra povWhen King Eric pulled me for a conversation I wanted to stop him but for friendship sake I did not, I allowed him have the conversation with me so that I will know what's making him look so worried. He took me to the other side of the house, even though other were seeing me they couldn't hear what we were saying. I sighted King Eric watching us closely all through the conversation. He looked like he was dying to come stop the conversation.“What is it that you want to say to me?” I said to Luke the moment he took me to have the conversation. Luke was quiet for a moment like he didn't know what to say to me. I stood there and watched him for a while waiting to hear what he had to say to me. “Let's go away, I'll take you to wherever you want, just go away from here.” I stared at Luke confused, I couldn't understand what he was trying to say to me, he sounded like he was serious about what he was saying but I couldn't take his word serious because it's something I
Chapter 57Sandra PovI was excited to finally be united with my machines so that I can continue making beautiful dresses. I went into the workshop and started asking my machine excitedly.I don't know why but I don't feel okay with the way Susan visits this place, Ste just comes in whenever she feels like she walk out whenever she wants. She was beggining to use Cassie's influence to get away with everything and anything. She has even started acting like she's in control of the the affairs of the House by telling the maids what to do and what not to do. To make matters worse she will be spending two days with us because her friend will be leaving soon.“I really don't want her to stay.” I muttered to myself as I stopped peddling the machine.I wanted to tell King Eric to say no but I just couldn't because I'm just trying to build a good relationship with Cassie so if I was to say no she might see me as the bad person.I stood up and walked out of the little room that was made for me
Chapter 58Susan’s POV “Hmmm” I sighed as I tossed from one side of the bed to the other. The thought of always seeing Eric and Sandra together was driving me crazy and I was more annoyed because I couldn't do anything about it. Eric is no longer interested in me all he does is pamper Sandra and treat her and her kids like they are all he got. “I am also there” I screamed out loud as I threw my pillow to the wall.When Sandra wasn’t there, when she abandoned him and ran away from him without thinking twice I was there to console him and keep him calm and now that she is back all he does is treat me like I am sone piece of trash. I did everything right but this is all I get.“Don’t I deserve better? Why can’t he just see me as…? Why can’t he love me the same way he loves Sandra? What does she have that I don’t? What!!!!” I cried out loud questioning myself angrily as I kept on throwing anything that my hand could touch at the wall.I cried for a while before I went back to bed. It w
Final chapterKing Eric povThere was a chant from the public which signifies that the battle line has been drawn and it’s time for war. I was not ready to start any fight but Luke was not ready to give up too. I knew from the first time that Luke was after my position l. After his identity was revealed Sandra was shocked to see his face.“Luke.” She shouted. I couldn’t hear anyone's voice as I was boosting myself for the fight. The reason why I have refused to fight since I became King, is not because I was scared or not ready, it's because each day I fight anyone I remember how I had to fight my best friend to claim the position of the Lycan King. Though it was inevitable and we both trained very hard for that day only for him to give up at the last moment and make me beat him. Looking at Luke now made me realize that both of them looked alike, “It’s not possible.” I muttered to myself when I thought of possibilities Luke was my childhood friend. The whistle was blown and the fig
Chapter 108Sandra povThe moment we saw Cassie and Susan walk inside the room we both stepped out of the house. “Do you think this will work?” King Eric asked me as we were dressing up. I don’t know how sure I was about what we were about to do but I know I was very hopeful, I had so much hope because right now that’s all I can do. We were stepping out of the house when we got a message from the chief that there is someone that’s ready to face me in the fight that’ll determine if I’ll remain the Lycan King or the title will be taken away from me. I didn’t know if King Eric was ready for a fight at this stage but what’s more important is that we save my kids as fast as We can. “I accept the challenge.” King Eric said to the chief. “The challenge is tomorrow.” The head chief said to King Eric after he accepted it, I can’t believe they didn’t give him time to prepare himself. It looks like they really need him out as the King. I held his hand and turned to look at him. “I really w
Chapter 107Sandra povKing Eric and I realized that the only way to bring down Susan is to act like we have fallen for her tricks and she is winning in whatever her plot is. Looking at her face made me feel very disgusted. She looks like she was having so much fun when King Eric was treating me badly, I just know that she will think we’re dancing to her tunes already because the way she has been smiling since she sat down at the dinning is making it obvious. “We’ve not been seeing you here, looks like you’ve become serious with your life.” King Eric said to Susan, I knew he was going to ruin it because he was really against playing this game with us but we insisted that he do it because that’s the only way we can bring Susan out and expose her for all the crimes she has committed. “What do you mean by serious with my life?” Susan asked, I had to signal King Eric so that he will change whatever he has said and say the right thing that’ll make her feel better. “I didn’t mean it tha
Chapter 106Sandra povI don’t know what Cassie is up to but I’m very well prepared to see what she has for us. Seeing the popcorn that she arrived at first made me think it’s a movie night but when I concentrated very well I noticed that I was nothing close to being a movie night. “The voice, is Cassie’s.” I said to everyone in the sitting room and turned to look at Cassie who wasn’t denying it, i don’t know exactly what’s going on here but what I know for sure is that something is about to be revealed to us. I dropped my popcorn and looked at Cassie’s face even in the dark with the little reflection that I was getting from the movie I could tell Cassie was scared. I don’t know what she’s about to reveal but I know that it’s not something little. “Cassie, can you tell us what Is going on? Why are we watching you follow someone?” King Eric angrily. Instead of joining them to ask questions I concentrated more on what the video is trying to tell us. The hum from the video was so terr
Chapter 105Cassie povI don’t understand what’s going on anymore, I don’t even know what to do, since I got that information I’ve been unable to sleep well, all I keep thinking about is that day. “I really need to go see my friend.” I muttered to myself and placed a phone call across to her. “Hey Sus.” I said to her the moment she picked the call, it looked like she picked the call and was not conscious of the current situation because she was not saying anything instead I heard her conversation with someone else. I kept quiet and listened to the whole conversation with my phone recording then when she was done I ended the call. “Why is she doing this? This is the second time.” I muttered to myself feeling disappointed and sad at the same time. Susan only problem used to be that she fell for the wrong person, someone that might never love her back but seeing how evil she has become is very alarming to me. The last time I caught her felt maybe if I have a conversation with her th
Chapter 104Sandra povAfter spending about three days in the hospital i finally returned home again, as I was helped out if the car by King Eric I stood outside and looked at the mansion did a while. It seemed like my whole existence is back to misfortunes returning to the house. It was then I realized that all the evil that has happened to me only happens in this house, when I’m out of here I feel very safe like nothing can cause me pain. “Come on, let’s go in.” The sound of King Eric’s voice brought me back to reality abs we both walked inside the house. When I got in we headed slowly to the room.The moment I got to the room I gently sat on the bed because I was not yet fully recovered. King Eric stepped out of the room to take care of some work related matters, I know that what he did might cause him little trouble and might be a threat to his position as the Lycan King.“Why did you bring up the idea in the first place, do you know that with what you’ve told him to do his posi
Chapter 103King Eric povThe doctor looked like he was hesitating to give us a reply. Looking at his face made me a little scared and all I want to hear is good news. I don't care how the doctor does it. “Can you say something please?” My Mom said to the doctor angrily. Finally the doctor sighed and raised his headline that he was about to say something. “She fainted as a result of weakness, she hasn't eaten for up to two days and her bones were too weak, and from what I can see it got worse because she's always crying.” Everything the doctor said was the obvious truth so we could not argue with him. I want to know if she's okay now. “She’s okay now but she's still unconscious. It's just that…” The doctor suddenly went mute like the last line was too much for him to spill out. “Doctor ways going on? You just said she's stable so what's the but about?” I asked the doctor, sounding very worried, I couldn't imagine what the problem would be this time around. “Doctor say something.”
Chapter 102King Eric pov“Any news yet?” Sandra asked me the moment she walked downstairs, I dropped the phone and shook my head. She sighed and sat on the couch, I know that somehow Sandra blames herself for being a careless mother. She thinks If she was careful enough her kids won’t go missing. “Calm down Sandra.” I said to her when I saw the look on her face. I don’t know what the aim of the kidnappers is because they haven’t called or texted since the day they took the kids away. “I’ve been calm for days, I even suspected Susan, you know it.” Tears welled down from Sandra’s eyes as she was speaking to me, just as we were talking Cassie walked into the house. She looked like she saw a ghost from where she was coming from. “Hey, are you okay?” I asked her when I saw the look on her face. I could immediately tell that there was something wrong. Without replying to me she ran upstairs and headed to her room. Since we started looking for the twins Cassie had been of great help, tho
Chapter 101Susan povIt’s been days since I kept this kids hostage and their parents are not even doing enough to get them back, I guess that’s how much they really love the kids. I poured myself a glass of wine and headed to the sitting room so I can think of fhe next move to take.I keep saying it, taking the kids was a wrong move, I should have just killed their mom, but Luke insisted taking the kids would make them go crazy. “I shouldn’t have listened to him.” I cursed under my breath. While I was still in deep thought I heard the door bell ring. It’s been a while since I had a guest in this house, who could that be? The new girl I employed rushed to get the door the moment ste heard the door bell ring. The moment she opened the door I sighted Luke. This is really not the right time for him to visit I’m so pissed right now. “Why are you here?” I asked him angrily and dropped my glass of wine on the table. Luke sat on the couch with his leg crossed as he kept staring at me, I d
