Liam's POV

I watch the clock as the long hand finally meets twelve while the short one rests still on eight. I bought drumsticks and coke for dinner.

That's my go-to meal whenever I'm indecisive about what to eat.

I settle on my dining table and close my eyes.

“Thank you for the food,” I mutter in prayer to the moon goddess.

Finally taking a break from the hunt for Naya's blood is a big relief. I want the bigger one, though.

I take a crunchy bite off one of the drumsticks. Yummy as ever. I might get another bucket when driving past that junk shop tomorrow.

There's a soft knock on the door and my mouth stops moving. I swallow a half-chewed load of chicken.

“Who is it by this time of the night?” I grumble, dragging my feet lazily to the door.

I'm not in the mood to receive guests. I'm the guest of myself tonight, so everyone else should fuck off.

I pull the door open and my eyes settle on Sophie's figure. She’s standing under the florescent light of my front door, her two hands holdin

    Naya's POVI don't know what led me into telling Rowan about the anonymous group, but I guess it wasn't a mistake. I'm smiling at the text message he sent me.“I knew he'd approve of it,” Elsie says to me. “What a special human he is.”“I know, right. I heard things like this do happen during these competitions,” I say. “If the group is looking to invest in me, then they've found the right place.”I flag a taxi down and settle into the soft cushion of the back seat as he drives me to the office. I'm early today, much more than other days.There's only a few people in the general compartment as I walk through, and none of them is yet to start working on their designs.I unlock the door. Sophie isn't here yet.Well, it will give me more room to focus on doing what is important to me.I have to respond to the anonymous group.It takes roughly quarter an hour crafting a good response. And by the time I'm done, I send it to Reilly to read and make any suggestions. She's a really smart girl

    Liam's POV“Would you like anything?” Naya asks as I settle down on her sofa.I let out a sigh. “Not really.”“I'll get you a glass of water,” she suggests. “You look exhausted.”I sigh yet again and glance at her. “You're quite right about that. I'd appreciate the glass of water, please.”“Alright, darling,” she says with a smile and heads off to the the kitchen.I adjust myself on the sofa. I hope she won't be display much drama when I finally let her know why I'm here.That dream of hers is going to be torn apart. I know it will hurt, but she's my puppet and is going to do whatever pleases me.She returns with a glass of water and drops it on the table before me, then she sits on the sofa that faces mine.I shoot a gaze at her and tap on the space beside me, inviting her to sit there.“Oh sorry.” She stands up quickly and skids over to my side.Sinking into the sofa, she exhales softly and looks at me, but looks away immediately.I'm taken aback by that single act. It hasn't always

    Naya's POV Round my eyes hurt so bad as I turn one more time on the pillow to glance at the clock. All through last night, I cried in my bed like a baby with no one to console it.A frustrated sigh leaves my mouth when I realize that it's past eleven on the clock. There's ten missed calls from my Reilly and three from my boss.I grumble as I get up from the bed and slide into my slippers. The first thing I do is take a few tablets of Aspirin before I rush into the bathroom to have my bath.Last night is still heavy on my mind. I never saw it coming that yesterday would end horribly for me.It feels like time has just slowed down as cold water sprays all over my body under the shower.Why am I even bathing? I wonder. I'm already late for work and it's not like there's some special reasons why I must be present there today.I sit on the toilet and bury my head into my thighs. I'm exhausted. I feel so down. Maybe I should just step down from the competition and rest my bones. Maybe I ju

    Naya's POVThe brown office table vibrates with a call on my phone.When I look at the phone and see that it is Rowan, a smile crosses my lips. My shipments have arrived.“Um… Mrs Yorke,” he utters in a polished baritone, “I don't want to believe it, but a delivery truck is standing right before my abode looking for a certain Mrs Naya Sinclair.”“It's mine,” I respond, my lips drawing into a smile. “Sorry I didn't inform you beforehand.”“No, no, no… It's fine,” he says. “I just wanted to be sure that it's my wife's and not someone else’s.”“Really? That's so sweet of you, Rowan,” I coo.“Sure.”“Uhm… Try to come over as soon as possible” he adds.“I will,” I promise. “I'll be there in an hour.”“Alright. See you then.”I round up the leave permit and email it to the boss. She didn't come to the office today, but I'm sure she'll get the email any time soon.I board a taxi to Rowan's place, but first, we stopped at my apartment and I packed a few corporate dresses.

    Liam's POV My ringtone now feels like a nightmare whenever I hear it. I barely slept for two hours last night. And now, it's ringing again, piercing through my brain and driving me to the edge of insanity.Reilly Sinclair!I know it's her and no one else. It has already gotten beyond frustrating, but I'm holding myself back from unleashing my rage on her.I have no bloody idea where her sister has been for the past two days. I've searched, I've asked her friends… No single one has a bloody idea where she is.I'm not going to kill myself in the name of finding her. I can only hope that nothing bad happens to her cause I'm not done with her. We are not done with her.Tomorrow, the second phase of the Krishna Fashion Design Contest begins. The instructions are going to be emailed to the contestants tonight. Sophie told me that.I hop down from my bed and go straight to the floor.

    Naya's POV The event hall is huge, occupied with over two hundred participants and six judges standing on the stage.The giant door opens and I see Sophie walking in with her racks carried by one of the event attendants.She looks so nervous, but I don't give a damn what she looks like.She's seated two spaces away from me and I pray other contestants would come and fill up those spaces so I don't get to see even her shadow.Thirty minutes go buy before the door closes. “It's 10:30am on the dot,” one of the judges announces as the door closes. “Any contestant who hasn't entered the hall by now has been ruled out from the contest officially.”A cold chill runs down my spine at those words. They only add to my fear of how strict the judgement standards would be.When I got the email of instructions for the second phase of the contest, I didn't waste a second before going on my fabric hunt.I stayed up, sewing and undoing what I've sewn, styling and restyling my designs.

    Naya's POVElsie can't stop jubilating and my eyes just can't stop shedding tears. I can't believe I did it. I got to the final stage of the competition. I'll pray under the moonlight tonight and thank the moon goddess for shining her light on me. I want to jump around everywhere and jubilate, but I know better than to celebrate two early. The competition is more than challenging, it's scary.I came to realise today that there were some people who scored ninety percent in the first phase. The two Osward sisters! Marie and Sharon. They've been fashion designers since birth. All through the second phase today, I never saw anxiety on their faces. It felt like they owned the whole contest.I wonder if I'd be able to lace their shoes in this contest.“Hey.” Someone taps me from behind and I turn to meet Marie.“Hey, you,” I let out nervously, managing a smile.She hugs me tight. “You're truly amazing.” She whispers. “You deserve your win.”“Thanks, Maddie,” I coo, stroking the back of

And I swear by the moon goddess, if he tries to guilt trip me when I'm back, I'll make him regret ever knowing my name.Since coming to Rowan's place, I've made eight designs. I'm certain I'll make a lot of money when I post them online for sale.It's lunch time when I look at the clock. I've worked enough for the meantime.

Whoever is cooking today is doing a splendid job.I get to the kitchen. The door is wide open, but I don't see any cook in there.

    ROWAN Jessica handed the phone over to me with shaking hands. "I....I called him. He told me that he's going to be here soon. Are you happy now?" Jessica asked me. I nodded my head. "Yes. I am very happy. You know ...you really didn't need to do all of this. You should have just left Naya alone!" I told Jessica. "You....you have no idea how much I love you! Despite how many times you trample on the feelings that I have for you, I refuse to care about it. I just want to be with you. And yet you treat me like this! You even dared to kidnap me! Let me just make it clear to you, Rowan. You are never going to get Naya back. You are going to find out that you're making a big mistake. The King will never let you take the only person who can save the life of his daughter!" Jessica told me.I rolled my eyes at her. "Do you really think that I care about whoever you are working for? It's none of my busines, and it would have been great as long as you had left my wife out of it. You only h

    NAYA I lay on the bed weakly as I watched my blood being made into an antidote for the so called princess. She had looked weak when she first walked in, but now that she had taken the antidote, she looked a whole lot better. The princess smiled at Liam. "Thank you so much for saving my life, Liam. I really don't know what I would have done without you. If it wasn't for your efforts all of these years, I am sure that I would have died a long time ago. I am really really happy that I have you in my life!" She said.I wanted to throw up when I heard this. I had never felt this disgusted in my life before. Liam had a sweet smile on his face, and he looked like he was happy to be doing this. I was shaking in anger as I watched him. How dare this person?! He was using my blood to appease someone else! I noticed that Liam had never looked at me the way that he was looking at the princess. He had never been nice to me. I was sure that he did not treat even Sophie in this way. Was this

    ROWAN"Are you sure that she is in here?" I turned to ask Sophie. We were standing in front of a house that was in the middle of nowhere. It was an old neighborhood and I was sure that they were less than ten people who lived here. The people who lived here were also probably extremely old and so even if anything had been going on, I was sure that they won't have been able to notice. Sophie nodded her head"Yes. Do you think that I am lying? I did what you asked me to do. I followed him and this was where he came to," Sophie said. I glanced at Henry and he walked with me into the house. I was about to walk in when Sophie grabbed my arm. "Hey where do you think you are going? We aren't done talking here. You said that you are going to pay me a hundred thousand dollars as long as I got the information on where she lived for you. I did that. When are you paying me?" Sophie asked me. "We haven't found Naya yet. As soon as we find her, I am going to give you your money!" I told her f

    NAYA The door was pushed open and my eyes flew open immediately. "Who is there? Jessica? You are back? Let me out of here. Let me go as soon as possible. You are not going to get away with doing this. You are going to regret ever don't this to me. Let me go if you know what's good for you!" I snapped at her. When she didn't reply me, I continued. "Rowan is going to find you, and he is going to make sure that you pay for doing this to me. Don't think that you can get away with this. Even if you keep me here for the rest of my life or even kill me, he's never going to look at you. He doesn't love you. Why is it so hard for you to understand that? I am the one that he loves! Only me!" I stated. "Oh really? You are the only one that Rowan loves? Are you sure about that? Are you really so confident about his feelings for you?" I heard a familiar voice ask me just then. I would recognize that voice even if I was dead. The voice that had haunted me in both lifetimes..Liam! Liam was he

    LIAM"What? You went out to meet with him? Are you stupid?!" I yelled at Jessica over the phone. "Well, Rowan called me and he told me that he wanted to see me. He even booked a table at a restaurant. I thought that he had come back to his senses and he had seen that I was the better choice for him. But when I got there, all he did was talk about Naya. I think he knows that I am the one who kidnapped her, but he doesn't have any proof at all. He even knows that I met with yon. What am I going to do?" Jessica asked me. She sounded like she was panicking. .I just rolled my eyes. I had no idea why I was surrounded by all of these dumb women. I thought that Sophie was the worst that I would have to deal with and that since Jessica worked for the King, she would be smart at least. But once it involved the man that she was interested in, she had no brains. She was just so fucking stupid! "Do you really think that he'd come running back to your arms a day after Naya went missing? You

    ROWAN "Are you sure that Jessica is working for the Alpha? If she's the one working for him then...it means that she's the one who has been spying on us. When she came here and said that she wanted to take care of you that time ..it was because she wanted to spy on you," Henry said to me. Sophie was gone now. It didn't take much for me to persuade her to find out where Liam had taken Naya. "Yes. I am sure of it. She's definitely working for that person. She has been working for him for a really long time, I am sure. If Liam is talking to her about him then it means that they both know him," I said."Then what are you going to do now? Are you sure that it's a good idea to meet with her? I don't think that she's going to give anything away if she's really working for him," Henry said. I shook my head. "I have to try. I know that she won't tell me the truth but I have to meet her and ask her and see if she's going to let anything slip. I asked Sophie to find out from Liam where Naya

    ROWAN"I don't deny that she was good to me while we were best friends, but how am I supposed to make a living if I don't have any money? I can't take chances, Rowan. I need to survive. You will never know how hard it is for me to survive. I don't want to beat around the bush with you. So are you going to give me the money or not?" She asked me. "Fine. I will give it to you. And don't think about playing tricks with me, Sophie. Because there are many ways I can get this money back from you. And I don't think that you are going to survive what I do to get the money back if you play me," I warned her. "Don't worry about it, Rowan. I may be a terrible person but I am very honest when it comes to doing business. Besides, I don't want to die. I need to be alive to spend the money," she stated. I brought out my bank book and I wrote her a cheque. Sophie snatched it away from me. She gasped when she saw the price that was written on it. They were literally dollar signs falling out of h

    ROWANI turned to Henry. "What do you mean you still can't find her? It's not as if she disappeared off the face of the Earth? Why can't you find her?" I yelled at him. A whole day had passed since Naya had not returned home. At first, Henry had said that she was going out to meet a friend, but then she didn't come back yesterday and we still can't find her today. I was really worried now. Had Liam gotten to her? Did he kidnap her all because of her blood? "Did you find out what Liam did yesterday?" I asked Henry. He nodded his head. "Yes. The person that we had watching him said that he didn't leave his house much yesterday. He went out to meet with the Alpha of the Crescent Moon Pack but that was just it. He didn't go anywhere else and he came back home immediately. I don't think he has anything to do with this," Henry said. I sneered at him. "Are you stupid?! Even if he didn't do anything, then he must have had someone do it for him! He must have told someone to kidnap her!

    SOPHIEI gasped when I heard this. Was Liam saying that they had kidnapped Naya? I had no idea who that Jessica person was but from Liam's words, they had worked together to kidnap Naya. Liam ended the call and he burst out laughing. I quickly shut the door and started to pace around the bedroom, thinking of what to do. I did not want Liam to know that I had heard what he was talking about. I knew that he was an extremely cold man and if he taught that I knew a secret then he was going to do something to hurt me. I didn't want to die in Liam's hands. I just wanted to be able to survive. Just then the door was pushed open and Liam walked in. I turned to face him and we came face to face with each other. There was a menacing look on his face when he saw me and he looked like he wanted to just triangle it to death and be done with it "What the heck are you doing here Sophie? I thought I have told you that I don't want to see you in my house? and how were you even able to get in
