Elodie’s P.O.VAs soon as I stepped inside the house, Marcel swooned me in a hug that kind of took me aback because as much as I found comfort in his arms, I pushed him away from me, staring deep into his eyes for answers that had no questions. Forcing out a smile, I muttered. “Why? Did something happen…..”Marcel’s eyes closed briefly as his chest heaved before he ran his hands through his hair. “I have been trying to reach you. I thought that you got intimidated by what Mae did”My brows furrowed with confusion even though my eyes piqued with curiosity at the same time. “What? I ran out of battery and what do you mean by what Mae did?”Gently, Marcel led me to the plush couch and explained everything in detail to me. While he talked, I could see the anger in his eyes, how incredulous the whole issue seemed to him, and most importantly, how he couldn’t believe that Mae would do something like that. I knew from the very start that something was off with that witch when she began to
Elodie’s P.O.VMy heart raced with excitement, thinking about everything that happened between me and Marcel this morning and most importantly, our encounter! With a smile on my face, I returned the greetings of the employees who were bustling about the office. As excitement kept building inside of me, I scrolled through my messages, trying to find a number that Marcel's aunt had sent when a message from an unknown number caught my attention.Stopping in my tracks as my lips pressed together, I opened the message only to find a long note that was sent by no one other than Mae!She dared to text me and tried to exonerate herself. This had to be a joke!However, what took me aback was the fact that she mentioned that Susan was the one who put her to this. She claimed that Susan had threatened her and made her do the things that she did to the twins and me.Reading the message, anger coursed through me, and the hate that I now held towards Mae intensified. Did she honestly think that ty
Susan’s P.O.V I paced back and forth, my mind drifting back to what happened between Mae and me. “Do I have to worry about her? That woman looks shady and manipulative and……” My words got stuck in my throat when I heard a growl that made a wave of icy dread wash down my spine. That was Darius’s voice and he was screaming my name!Why was he calling my name like that?Opening the door, I went down the stairs, packing my hair into a ponytail as his voice echoed through my ear. “Where is she? Where is Susan” I froze when I heard the sound of utensils shattering against the tiled floor. Dread settled at the pit of my stomach then but I mustered the courage and went down the stairs. When my gaze landed on him, time stood still at that moment as we both locked gazes.The air was thick with tension and darting my eyes off him as fear clawed at my throat, my lips parted slightly on sighting the broken shards of glass, the TV was broken, the flower vases were shattered to the ground and Da
Marcel’s P.O.VI saw the glint of fear in Elodie’s eyes as she locked gazes with me. At that moment, I knew that the exact thoughts going on in her mind were the same ones going on in mine. Killian’s sudden death right after he threatened Darius to pay back the money that he embezzled meant that there was a high chance that Darius had orchestrated his death. If Susan could manipulate Mae into tampering with the children’s brake, then Darius would do worse.Tears formed in Elodie’s eyes and before they could spill, I pulled her into a hug, patting her on the back slowly at the same time, whispering in her ear. “It is going to be fine”Elodie withdrew from my embrace, shaking her head. “No, nothing is going to be fine. If I hadn’t ensured that the news about Darius’s embezzlement gets leaked out to the media, then Killian wouldn’t have died. I don’t know anymore but the guilt that Killian’s blood is on my head is…..”My hands flew over her mouth, suppressing her words as I said. “Don’
Mae’s P.O.VAxel’s words resounded in my head as my heart pounded in my chest like a war drum. For a second, it felt like my hearing was impaired because there was no way that Marcel would tell Axel to carry out such a cruel act against me.But recollecting the way that Marcel dug his claws into my shoulders, sent cold shivers down my spine. “Are you being serious right now?”Axel sighed, stashing away his cigarette into the ashtray. “Yes, he told me to capture you and lock you in the dungeon until you sign an undertaking. Look, Mae, as much as I am mad at you for the recent stunts that you pulled, I can't just find myself doing something like that”My stomach tied a knot and despite the tears that formed at the back of my eyelids, I tried so hard to fight back my tears. “I don't know why Marcel is doing all of this…..”Axel slammed his fist on the table, my heart almost leaped out of my chest as he growled. “You know why he is doing all of this! Why would you approach the children w
Susan My stomach tied a knot in anxiety and it was just crazy that Darius couldn't see what I was seeing! Everything about this banquet felt weird and I wouldn’t be in this situation if it weren’t for Mae! When Mae requested to see Darius, I had instructed the guards to open fire on her if she was caught lurking around the pack house. I also instructed the security personnel in Darius’s company to never allow her inside. The fireworks that boomed through the sky jolted me out of my thoughts, bringing me back to the reality that I was in. If it wasn't that Darius had promised me to give me what I wanted, then I wouldn't be here! But in the end, I needed to act as the pious wife before he changed his mind. If it wasn't for the fact that Darius was shameless, how could he even have the face to accept Marcel and Elodie’s invite? Maybe I was just overreacting? Since almost all the Alphas were invited, it was normal that Darius would be invited. But, there was this fear and doubt
Darius’s P.O.VMy eyes fluttered open and the only sound that I could hear was the sound of machines beeping. I felt empty and my eyesight was blurry as I sat upright and a groan escaped my lips. Rubbing my hands on my eyes, my heart squeezed immediately when all the memories that haunted me came rushing into my head like a flood. A sharp groan left my lips as I fisted the sheets. The banquet, Liam, Amelia, and most importantly— that devil’s incarnate, Susan! Removing what was attached to the back of my palm, I jumped out of the bed, hissing because of the beeping machines that surrounded me. My gaze fell on a knife that was next to some peeled apples and I grabbed the knife, ready to stab Susan over and over again but without asking her about what I could have done for her to commit such atrocities against me. At that moment, the door swung open and my pack doctor came inside alongside Ezra as they rushed towards me. “Alpha Darius, you are awake. Thank you, moon goddess” Ezra s
Elodie’s P.O.VReading the comments as Darius and Susan were being slandered served as a form of entertainment to me and at the same time, I couldn’t help but wonder where she was.All of a sudden, I was soon snapped out of my thoughts when a knock landed on my door as I jerked forward and Alexander strode in. Lowering his head in reverence for me, my fingers drummed on my keyboard as I asked. “How can I help you, Alexander?”Alexander waved his phone at me. “The company’s official mail keeps on being flooded with emails from the Martini Corporations and…….”I interrupted at that moment, my eyes almost bulging out of its sockets in disbelief. “What?”Martini Corporations? That was my father’s company before my brothers took over and changed the name from the Martinez group of companies to Martini corporations. My three brothers, James, Williams, and Charles took over everything and left me with nothing! They even denied me my inheritance and didn’t allow me to step foot in my father’
