MIA’S POV“What do you mean?” I asked, my heart pounding even harder, the curiosity and concern mixing into a potent cocktail of emotions.Cole didn’t speak immediately. He remained reclined, his posture relaxed yet tense, as if a heavy weight pressed down on him. He avoided eye contact, staring off into the distance where the waves met the horizon. The rhythmic sound of the ocean filled the silence between us, each crash of the waves echoing the turmoil within him. His chest rose and fell with deep, deliberate breaths, the kind taken when one is bracing themselves to unearth long-buried pain.“She left me when I was just a child,” he began, his voice low and thick with emotion. The words seemed to struggle their way out of his throat, each one laced with a bitterness that hinted at years of repressed sorrow. “The only thing I remember about her is her eyes.” He paused, and I could see his throat working as he swallowed hard, his Adam’s apple bobbing. “Each day passes, and I forget he

MIA’S POVThe atmosphere in the car was thick with tension and unspoken emotions. I felt a strange mix of anxiety and adrenaline coursing through my veins as Olivia joined me, her presence a steady anchor amidst the storm of thoughts swirling in my mind.“Marcus came here?” I asked, my voice edged with cold steel as I glanced at Olivia. The leather seat creaked under me as I shifted slightly, trying to absorb the weight of the information she had just delivered through a terse text message. My knuckles whitened as I gripped the steering wheel, my mind racing with the implications of Marcus’s visit.“Yes, yes he did,” Olivia confirmed, nodding slowly. Her eyes flickered with concern, a silent testament to the gravity of the situation. The air in the car felt thick, tinged with the scent of leather and the faintest hint of Olivia’s floral perfume—an oddly jarring contrast to the serious tone of our conversation.A bitter smirk crept onto my face, tinged with a twisted sense of satisfact
MIA’S POVI swallowed hard, the lump in my throat painful as I forced out the words that tore at my soul. “My daughter… my daughter Christine is dead,” I whispered, my voice barely more than a breath. It felt like my heart was being ripped open all over again, the raw wound of loss exposed to the air. The car’s interior felt cold, a chill that seemed to seep into my very bones as the gravity of my words settled in the space between us.Olivia’s reaction was immediate and visceral. Her eyes widened, her face paling as she processed what I had just said. Her mouth opened slightly, but no sound came out, as if the weight of my revelation had stolen her words. The silence that followed was thick and heavy, broken only by the quiet hum of the engine and my own shaky breaths. “My daughter is dead,” I repeated, the repetition somehow making it more real, more final. Tears welled up in my eyes, spilling over and trailing down my cheeks to land on the car’s floor like tiny, crystalline drops o

LYDIA’S pov"I love you" Harry said to me. I couldn't help but drop my jaw unknowingly. I stared at him like a dumbfounded dawg. "What?" I said with my eyes widened. He looked deeply into my eyes as though wanting to communicate with me through my eyes. He came closer to me and grabbed my left hand and then placed the other on my face as i still stared." Yes I love you Annette. Since the first day I crossed paths with you, I have had this unexplainable feeling. Each day I sleep, I always think about you. Every minute I am seated, you always pop up in my thoughts. We actually started on a bad note but just in the duration of a few weeks we have gotten close to each other. I really wished you were mine" he said and caressed my chin with the hand he placed on It."What are you even talking about Harry? We seldom know each other, and now out of the blues you profess love to me? This all doesn't make sense" I said and pulled his hand off my face. He stared at the hand I took them down an
Authors POV Mia was in her room the next morning. She was pondering on her encounter with her supposed arch enemy, John. She sat on the bed, feeling much better than she felt the other night.The flashback of how John came so close to her yesterday stuck to her brain. It was a feeling that she couldn’t explain, just like genuine love, but she didn’t think it was love, probably immense disgust.Her hands wrapped around her chest, she sat on the bed silently and also strayed her thoughts to the new bride, or rather old wife as she claimed. The colossal part of Mia felt she overreacted about the whole situation. Why was she even angry? Was she married to Him or was he entitled to telling her about his past life? Irrespective of this incongruent thought of hers, she still felt bad, or rather angry.“Good day, ma’am”. A voice popped from outside which was accompanied with a knock on the door. It was the new cook “Yes, please come in” The cook came in with a tray in his hand. It had the
My heart raced so fast when Lucifer walked into the room. Thankfully, before he walked in, I collected Rogers hoodie and wore. I was sure he saw him when he came in and that’s why he came to my room. Lucifer never visited me so late at night, so the red flag was very glaring.I managed to convince him and he left the room not so suspicious. Thanks to God that my ears are very sharp and I heard the creaking floor boards as he approached. I guess God was on my side too.“That was a close one” I sighed with my hand pressing my chest after he left. Rogers who hid behind the curtains also came out.“You need to leave now!!” I snapped at him as he tried grabbing my arm romantically.“ and why should I?” He held my cheeks and tried kissing me but I tossed him aside.“Don’t do that again… please” he dragged and looked at me sternly. I looked back at him and held my breathe. A little bit of fear gripped me as I remembered what I had seen in his house. The drugs I saw made me a little terrified
" hi, Mister," A young chap greeted me with the Spanish accent. He was a bright looking boy. He had a confused smile on his face. With his blonde short hair." Good day Chap, you must be Jose ain't it?"I queried and squatted down to his level. He stared at me befuddled, but then I was smiling at him. He had a clear face and did have semblance with his father."Yes I'm Jose, how do you know my name, Mister?" He questioned with a childish voice. His left eye was slightly closed. I was about to answer, when there was a thunder clap.I looked upwards and the clouds where forming and sure a heavy rain was about wetting the soil."nada de qué preocuparse, chico (Nothing to worry about boy)" I said in Spanish. I scoffed and placed my hand on his face. " Jose, con quién estás hablando? (Jose who are you talking to?)" A feminine voice resounded from behind. " Who are you?"A lady questions with weak English and Spanish accent. The lady drags Jose away from my clasp. I huffed and stared at my
" Why did you summon us all? Brad snapped at me. It was the next day after I came back from Carl's house and I summoned everyone to the living room for a pack meeting. Carl was also invited but he hadn't arrived then."Just wait for Carl, there is something important I have to discuss and share with everyone." I said while Brad folded his hand gloating at me.The whole pack members were gathered and itching to hear what I had in store. Usually, I always did the listening but this time, doing the speaking did come with some ecstatic feeling."I don't have the whole fucking day Alina, you either speak now or I will waltz out of here."Brad bawled pointing his hand at me. My hands were now folded."Calm down Brad, she has never asked for permission to speak so give her this one chance"Lady Macbeth said. She seized a moment with my glare. We gaped at each other and she nodded first with a smile and blinked her eyes for about half a minute."Okay then" Brad said and sat back on his seat.
"I Armnado Luca, this day reject you, Elsa Roland as my mate" These were the words of Armando, my mate or rather my Ex mate now. It was my twentieth birthday and everything was going smoothly before this happened. Ironically, the party was hosted and organized by Armando unknown to me that he had a hidden agendum. Tears filled my eyes on hearing this and I stared deeply into his eyes and I saw no remorsefulness in him but rather he looked all serious." Armando, what is this, you are joking with me right? '' I playfully said and touched his arms as he was used to playing silly pranks on me and so i thought it was one of them. But unfortunately, my thought was not it and so it just remained my thought alone and not his."I am very serious Elsa. This is not a joke" He sternly uttered to me. My eyes became watery and my breathe ceased for some seconds. How was it even possible that Armando who had only shown me love would do this to me publicly. He was actually holding a microphone when
“So what is the situation back there?” Asher bashes Ma Trisha with his questions. she looks at me and then right back at him. I know from her looks that what prolly happened was out of the ordinary. She looks very pale and her eye can actually speak out the full story. I thrutch backwards and allow her move forward. She sighs but still on, she doesn’t say a word. I ponder in my heart wondering nd what king her she going her kind and what hodge might have gone through but I still can’t still figure it out. “It was a lot”she manages to spit out at last. I can only but imagine all that she went through. I can literally pick out the pain from her voice. “Please tell me more” Asher says with the utmost urge to want to know what happened. He is gritting his teeth right now with his hands clenched firmly. She doesn’t speak further. She continues to ogle at the both of us as though we are the one who are expected to speak and explain. I lock my lips and gulp down saliva while I allow
" You stand there and tell me you are sorry?" I bellowed. I brought the knife very close to his neck. He stayed there and moved not. "I do not care what you want to do with me. I know whatever comes my way from you, I really do deserve it. I was a son of a bitch and treated you like scum. You did everything to please me, but I was too stupid to have seen it." He voiced with a shaky voice that passed so many emotions, like a strummed guitar. His hands are still pointing downwards. His eyes quirked a second. I glared at him for seconds. My hands trembled as I had a very strong grasp on the knife. My face contorted and my eyes narrowed. All I felt in me was total bitterness. I really felt the urge to stab him but I was trying so hard to resist the demon." I just feel like killing you Rogers!!!! " I growled and placed the side of the sharp knife to his throat. I pressed slowly, but then it tipped on his neck. Suddenly blood started dripping little by little. I gnashed my teeth and wa
"When we have cookies, I play a game with her", Zelda said smiling and also relaxed on a seat." Game? What game is that?" I inquired, quite eager to find out what it was. My hands were laid on the table and eyes fixed on Mrs Zelda."It's a kind of questioning and truth" she said." Do you mean truth or dare?" "No, not that. Now the question and truth session is slightly different from truth or dare. In this game, before you pick a Cookie, someone would ask you a question and you have to be truthful to the core to answer the questions asked or the God of cookies is gonna take the cookies away." Her mom said and I chuckled." Disclaimer, Its just fiction and it's just some fun thing I do with her . She think it's true, so I use it to get answers from her when she lies to me because she loves cookies so much" her mom whispered to me because she was seated beside me. " Oh okay"I chortled."I will be right back, I need to get some milk" Zelda said and got up from her chair.I sighed de
"What is the plan?” Sir Luca questioned looking at us all. My eyes went to Adrain and wanted him to explain it because he made it.“ We do not really have a plan as of now because we are still not ready. Alina is the one who would be fighting Tiana…” he was still explaining when Sir lUca cut in.“ Why is it Aloka that would he going against Tiana? You should know how strong Tian is now at this moment. You know she is a witch and Also a balck wolf. I really do not think it is that great an idea for Alina to be the one that fights Tiana. I think you should be the one because she still has a soft spot For You and you can use that as namn upper hand to get her” Sur lUca said. In as much as I didn't want to get pissed but then I felt awkward. He sounded a though I was worthless.“ Let me out, let me show this Asshole what I am made of '' Maddy roared at me. The tone with which she used in vocalizing made me chuckle slightly.“Alina is the best person to go against Tiana not me because she
