MIA’S POV

I 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 dro

    MIA’S POV The 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 satis

    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

    "Okay bye" Those were the last words of Harry Locke and unfortunately I couldn't hear his conversation because he stood in an open space and so if had drawn nearer he would have seen me. He turned around and had a smile on his face while I hid behind a pillar. I wanted to confront him but then I had to rethink because that would jeopardize the whole situation. He placed the phone back in his pocket and walked away, headed to the training chamber. I waited for a while before I jumped out of hiding. I stood for a while still pondering on who he was talking to and what for. Luckily, I was able to get a few words for the conversation, which was the name "Ace".He constantly called the name and clearly it depicts that it was the person on the other hand. "Alina" I heard a call which came from behind. I shivered before I swiftly turned, and guess who I saw. It was Harry Locke, gazing at me with a pale countenance. Fuck, My eyes widened and i couldn't even move a muscle then. He said not

    "It's not fair you know " Carl smirked as he advanced into the Training chamber. Seeing him disgusted me and also scared my ass out. He stopped abruptly where I stood and gosh, I felt like he really had an ulterior motive. " Sorry Carl, we just needed to sweat a little before you arrive" Brad apologies smiling and Carl as well was smiling. " No eish man, at least i am here now" I bawled and spanked my ass tight before he walked away giving me a wink. I shook on the spank he gave to me as I wasn't expecting such dirty behavior from him at that time. " What's wrong?" Alexis inquired as she noticed the way I shook. I ground my teeth and scowled at Carl but actually that's all I could do. " No it's nothing, I am fine" I said, staring at Carl angrily. " Are you sure you're fine" Alexis persisted and I gazed at her pissed off. " I just said I am Fucking fine Alex" I snapped and she shrugged. " It's Okay, I just noticed some anomaly and that's why I asked." She said and turned her ga

    I was in my room and ruminating about what Brad's supposed decision must have been. He had said we all should leave him and he wanted to be alone so that an announcement would be made in the night. I was in my bed, wearing a white shirt which was asymmetric sort of and then with brown pants. My pillow was placed behind my neck and relaxed on the bedrest. My both hands folded around my chest. There was a knock on my door. "It's Alexis", Alexis echoed from outside. "Come in , the door is open" I muttered with my legs still crossed and my countenance like that of someone who lost a loved one. Actually I lost someone but then surely not a love one. It had an effect on me that I lost Carl but then I was sure it wasn't a bad effect but rather it was a good one. I couldn't fully celebrate this freedom and Victory because of Brad's remarks towards what I did. His suspense was cutting deep into my heart. Having a heavy heart and still trying to guess what someone might be thinking was real

    "Let's go now and avenge Chloe's death,” Zelda snapped. I was also enraged and ready to attack. “ This is what I wanted to hear. I want war” Maddy snarled at me. I huffed and shook as she spoke. I wasn't really expecting it to take as it seemed she ran away when Chloe lost her life. “No, we are not doing that” Adrian said. We all turned out gae at him. He seems very serious but rh I wondered why he was throwing the mission out through the window. “ Why!?“ Zelda questioned immediately before I could even speak. I had to swallow my words which were vait coming out. “ That's because we are not ready. Tiana is not Someone we are going to attack when we are not prepared. She is fully ready for us and she will be waiting for us to take this move. I'm sure she has already laid a trap for us as she did today but this time around we aren't going to get entangled in it”. Adrian said. Thinking about it made me see the reason for his disapproval and it was the best idea. “But what's about C

    "What???" Alexis screamed with her hands raised high. I was surprised at the pitch with which she spoke. "Are you kidding me?" She said, and drew closer to me as we strolled in the garden. "Yes it is" I said. Don't be confused, I told her about what transpired between Harry and I yesterday. " So he really professed love to you yesterday, and then you turned him down?" She said very surprised. I said nothing, just clicked my teeth and shrugged. "Yeah, I ummm don't think it's right for us to thread that lane. We are better off on the friend's rail. And by the way, it's not as though I feel anything for him of that sort" I said and turned my eyes away. She was still surprised and glared at me. I don't know why she was surprised. "Umm look at me Alina" she said and grabbed my face. She can sometimes be bossy and grumpy. Eish, I turned and looked at her contemplating what prolly she had simmering in her head. "(Clears throat) What is it?" I said. She looked at me and into my eyes d

    I pulled the door open and peeped outside. It was perch black but then I saw Zelda not so far from the door. " Zelda?" I called out not so sure if my mind. She quickly rushed her head and turned back to me. She was backing me earlier before I beckoned on her. " Alina, why are you outside?" She queried and quickly rushed back to me. She walked back to me as I was also standing outside. She stood in front of me and I could read from her uncertain visage that something was wrong. "I spoke to Chloe and she told me you were outside. I came to check up on you." I bawle gently, whilst my eyes traveled around still surveying for anyone or anything weird. I was sure I heard a voice when I opened the door before it died off. "Oh okay, let's go inside" she said and led the way but then I held her as she tried walking past me. " What's wrong? I am sure you are hiding something from me." I snapped staring into her face. She glared at me and then pushed a smile up. Thought It was very eviden

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?

    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

    " 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.
