Chapter 113:Elsie, I will kill you the second I get out!
"I am a fan of your products, ma'am, not your personality. Don't make things hard on yourself," the officer ordered with a smile. "Give me the flask."
In order to keep the peace, Trix handed over the flask. She shot an apologetic look to her mother, but Dahlia was fuming. She threw out her fingers, wishing she could claw at the officer's face. She yelled angrily,
"I will kill you. Come close. I will scrape the skin off your ugly face."
Instantly, Trixson's stomach sank. She panicked and begged, "Mom, stop your threats. You are in the station."
If Dahlia continued with her antics, she might get new charges. Trixson was only trying to prevent that.
Chapter 114: You charged Dahlia for assault Back in the beach house. Aiden stepped into the bedroom, his eyes searching the room for someone. He caught a gaze of her walking out of the bathroom. "You charged Dahlia for assault?" Aiden asked, his surprise evident on his face. He got the information from Chase. At this time, Elsie came out from taking a bath draped in a towel, another used to wipe her hair. She tossed her hair, dabbing the water off as she replied. "Yes, I did." "Why didn't you inform me?" Aiden questioned, sounding pissed. They had been on their honeymoon for three days now, and she had not bothered to tell him about it. "Huh," Elsie res
Chapter 115: "Don't you love me anymore?" "How long have you had this? I remember giving this to a homeless man. I thought he must have pawned it," Elsie inquired, her face beaming with joy. It was the ring. The ring she had been searching for.Her heart raced from excitement.Drifting her gaze on the ring, her smile grew bigger. She had given it away after she found out he was cheating on her. Elsie had spent a lot of time and energy searching for this ring. When it was right under her nose. "He did," Aiden admitted softly. "The shop he sold it to contacted me after they had arrested him, thinking he had stolen it. You see, this ring was tailor-made for you. It had my trademark on it and was one of a kind," Aiden explai
Chapter 116: You can run away with your lover Realization dawned on her face, and she pushed him. Her face was distraught as she inquired, in almost a whisper, "Don't you love me anymore?" Rather than providing answers to her questions, Aiden bent to pick up the towel and draped it around her shoulders, looking away. "Get dressed, Elsie. We need to talk." "About what?" She grabbed his arms, tugging on them in anger. "What is it about?" Aiden attempted to caress her cheek, but she pushed his hand away. "Don't touch me!" His face contorting in agony, he walked out of the room. "I'm sorry." Left to her despair, Elsie felt loss and devastation. She wrapped herself with the towel, tears filling up her caramel-colored eyes. "What should I do now? I don't want to hear what he wants to say," Elsie sobbed, clasping her palm over her mouth. Uncertainty clouded her mind, and she was stuck with fear biting her heart. Looking at her reflection, Elsie watched the
Chapter 117: I hate him. Her vision blurred, and the room began to spin, a kaleidoscope of colors whirling around her. She stumbled, her legs trembling beneath her like jelly. Her mind was a jumble of fragmented thoughts, each one screaming for attention like a siren. _Aiden killed my mother._ _Aiden is responsible for my brother's death._ _He lied to me for years._ _He married me out of guilt._ _He doesn't love me._ _I hate him._ Then, everything went black. Flashback____ The rain drizzled so faintly that one could barely see it if not focused. Only the drops on one's skin could remind one of its presence. A younger Elsie of only nineteen arrived at the Scott mansion. Clad in black jeans and a white tucked-in shirt which was stained with mud, including sections of her head. "Sweet Jesus!" Aunt Paulina exclaimed upon seeing Elsie. She clasped her hand over her mouth. "Set her a shower," she instructed one of the servants. "Good
Chapter 118: You have lost the right to call me that Aiden's question pulled Elsie back from her daze. She had lost consciousness, only to find herself back in the Morbida Mansion, sleeping in their bedroom. A sense of nostalgia overcame her. Slowly, she redirected her gaze to Aiden. In only a short time, he had aged. His eyes appeared exhausted, and the stubble on his chin made him appear older. Elsie's heart clenched upon seeing him. His face contorted in agony; Aiden did not look like his normal confident self. It made her sad. However, memories of what had taken place on the island played back like a TV montage. Soon, tears blurred her eyes, and she blinked them away. Without tossing a glance at Aiden, Elsie implored, sounding cold, and distant, "When did we get back?" Clearing his throat, Aiden said simply, his eyes portraying his regret, "You fainted and knocked yourself out. You have been asleep for three days." "Three days," Elsie recited, as though try
Chapter 119: Will you cry if Iet go? Elcilia sat at the small table, reading the comments of the anxious readers who were awaiting the reveal of the actress acting as 'Phine Asong'. The company had announced the reveal to happen within a week. Readers who had read the book beforehand were awaiting excitedly, even though they had their own image formed in their heads. It was a strange yet sweet thing that came along with reading a book. You imagine how the character in your head looks like, per the description. Still, everyone has their own image, some might be similar and not. It might even divert from the image the author had in mind, the cover might be the call for some. Now, the company's comment section was raining with comments from fans. "@Briellieluv: Can't wait. Phine is my favori
Chapter 120: I would die without you Aiden watched Elsie intently, his heart racing as he waited for her response. The tension in the room was palpable. After a long moment, Elsie spoke again, her voice barely above a whisper. "If I let go...will you cry?" Aiden felt his entire being freeze. The question was the turning point of the future of their relationship. He swallowed hard. "The thought of you leaving truly terrifies me. I don't know how I will live without you. I might just pretend not knowing I could die early." Elsie studied his face, searching for any sign of deception. But she could see his honesty and sincerity in his eyes. Aiden had always worn his heart on his sleeve when it came to her. He had first confessed his feelings for her when Eldon had just been born, and Elsie had assumed
Chapter 121:I have one request Finally, they arrived at the city hospital. Elise was ushered to the waiting room, where she paced the halls, unable to keep calm. Her mind kept racing with negative possibilities. "Think positive!" she reminded herself, blowing into her fist to keep calm. Everything had happened so fast. Now, she could wait and pray he would get better. After what felt like ages, the doctor approached, his expression grim. "Mrs. Scott, your husband is in critical condition. Apart from the fever he has, he is severely dehydrated and suffers from low blood sugar." "Oh my God," Elsie clasped her palm over her mouth, tears rolling down her cheeks. Elsie felt her knees buckle, her hands began to shake as she asked, "He will be fine, right?" 
Chapter Four: Mate?"The alpha male is not just a leader, but a guardian." - Unknown ___ In the torturing basement of the Crescent Moon Pack, a dungeon meant for defilers of the pack, the stench of blood and sweat filled the air. Kael and his beta, Lyra, strode in powerful strides towards the dungeon where the head witch was being kept. They had been successful in eradicating almost all the witches that had attacked them. "Why do you think the witches attacked us yesterday?" Lyra inquired softly, her voice echoing in the marble halls, as she pushed her glasses up the bridge of her nose. "What do you think?" Kael retorted, subtle anger lacing his voice. He glared at her as if she had asked him to bite off his finger and increased his steps. Ly
Chapter Three: Kaiya, are we going to die? "Werewolves are like the ocean, you can't control them, but you can learn to navigate their tides." - Unknown ___ Kaiya and Linda ran swiftly through the darkened forest, their feet pounding on the soft ground. Kaiya's heart raced, both from the physical exertion and the sheer terror of the situation. "Hurry, Linda! He's coming after us!" Kaiya yelled, glancing nervously over her shoulder. Linda's breath came in short gasps, and Kaiya could see the strain on her face. She knew her asthmatic friend was struggling to keep up the pace. Suddenly, a bone-chilling howl pierced the air, sending shivers down their spin
Chapter Two: I want to see you happy "The things that go bump in the night, are not always monsters, sometimes they are just lost souls." - Unknown ___ Surprisingly, the day wrapped up as if the awkward conversation with her boss had never happened. Kaiya had never been happy, so she took out Linda to a small restaurant by the town borders to celebrate. It was a dumb but necessary idea. In the restaurant, they sat in a garden-themed backyard awaiting the waiter to come and take their orders. Sitting across from each other, Linda smacked her pink-painted lips several times, her legs bouncing nonstop. She wore a bright smile which happened to complement the black skin-tight dress she was wearing.
Chapter One: The beginning "The supernatural is the natural, not yet understood." - Elbert Hubbard ___ In the beautiful city of Voldermont, known for the void icy cold river that encircled the town and its touristic caves and beautiful forest, the cold wind carried from the river swept into the window of a three-storey building, making everyone shiver. "Have you contacted the man for the new windows?" Linda Crowe, the best friend and five-year roommate of Kaiya, asked as the moment she arrived at Kaiya's cubicle. She placed a cup of hot coffee with no cream on the table. Linda, a twenty-three-year-old ebony lady with heavy curves and brown butt-length braids. "Huh?" Kaiya raised her celery-green eyes to meet her friend's darker
Author's AppreciationI started writing this earlier without this novel being finished, because I wanted to say something from the heart and not rushed. That doesn't mean my other appreciations are not from the heart. They are!You see, I have never been good with words and not always known how to respond to messages, emails, and so on. I am a freaking walking disaster, a one-woman circus clown kind of show, but I say this with much confidence: when I read a book and I laugh hard, feel hate, dislike, and cringe at moments which genuinely become a part of me, even if just for a time - it fills in my heart. I am overwhelmed by such talent to aid me grapple with my own emotions and go over every scene. Feeling satisfied and still wishing for more. Looking at you, Ashley Peston, you perfect angelic wordsmith.And I want that to be the same feeling my readers get from
Epilogue Elsie's POV Six months later. I got a call from the prison, concerning Trixson's plea to have me visit her. I should have said no. However, I needed to hear what she wanted to say. Trixson had been sentenced with a double life sentence for the murders she had been involved in. Boris had been given ten years for being an accomplice in Henry's homicide. Trixson had Boris sneak into the rehab disguised as an operating nurse and provided him the drugs Henry overdosed on. After this, Boris' conscience could not bear the burden of the secret. Hence, he came to me. He had to, after I provided him photos of Trixson and Director Lee's affair. All that helped take off the rose-colored glasses he wore aroun
Chapter 137: I have you Aiden stepped out of the prison gate, blinking in the bright sunlight. He had dreamed of this moment for what felt like an eternity, and yet, it still felt surreal. He was finally free. As he looked around, his eyes scanned the crowded streets, searching for a familiar face. And then, he saw her. Elsie stood out from the crowd, her flaming red hair shining like a flame. She wore a bright smile, and her eyes sparkled with tears, as she waved at him. Aiden's heart skipped a beat as he made his way towards her. Elsie still looked as beautiful as she did the first time he saw her at the Scott mansion. She wore a knee-length red dress that clung to her skin, exposing her heavy curves. As a result of the pregnancy, Elsie had gained weight, and her chest and ass had grown bigger too. She was
Chapter 136: Prison Life Aiden's POV The courtroom had been filled with a sense of tension and anticipation. The judge, a middle-aged woman with a stern expression, sat at the bench. I stood before her, my eyes fixed on Elsie, who had been crying non-stop. The prosecutor stood opposite me, arms crossed. The judge announced, "After careful consideration of the evidence and the severity of the crime, I hereby sentence you to 7 years in prison for withholding information and obstruction of justice in relation to the double homicide case." My eyes had widened for a brief moment, but I accepted the sentence with a nod. I knew I deserved this punishment for my actions. The judge continued, "While I acknowledge your cooperation with the authorities and your expression o
Chapter 135; Promise me Two months later. On the day of Aiden's trial, after he had refused to file for bail, Elsie kept Eldon entertained by playing Legos when Aunt Rina walked in. The little lad ran to hug Rina, and she kissed him on the cheek. "Aunt Rina, where have you been? I've missed you," he exclaimed, his dimples creeping up as he smiled. Leaning in, she explained in a sweet voice, "I was busy, boy. But I'm back now..." Elsie, leaning against the counter in the kitchen, found their encounter very cute. She sometimes envied Eldon's relationship with Rina. A huge grin curled up on Eldon's lips, and he raised his arms, shouting out of ecstasy, "Yay, we'll all play together!" "We will," Rina confirmed, nodding her head. She reached out to touch the boy's cheek and pinched it fondly. "You should go to your room and wait for me there while I talk to your mom." The kid threw his arms up in happiness, spread them wide like wings, and ran out, making plane
