Marcel’s P.O.VI leaned back against the window, the breeze brushing through my neck as I stared intently at Ezra who chewed on an apple like someone that has been starved for centuries. Maybe he was starving. The more I stared at him, the more he looked more malnourished than the last time I set eyes on him. “Darius, the least that you could do was feed him at least” I muttered to myself, crossing my hands over my chest while the doctor dressed his wound and administered his medications to him. Why I was doing all of this was something I didn’t understand. Why I had to make a stupid decision by bringing in one of Darius’s most trusted men into my condo befuddled me. Elodie was at fault. If only she hadn’t cried. “I hate her” I mumbled to myself, watching him take a handful of chips into his mouth in a way that irritated me. “Were you starved?” My words broke the silence that reigned in the room as he turned slowly in my direction and grinned. A mischievous smile played on his
Elodie’s P.O.VI could have sworn that I felt Marcel around me right now but that didn’t matter. What mattered was putting Darius in the place where he belonged. The trash. I jumped to my feet, grabbing the hot coffee that the waiter just dropped on the table and before he could escape what was coming for him, I poured the coffee right on his face. Darius flinched as the hot coffee hit his face, fury blazing in his eyes as he snarled. “What the heck was that for?”His audacity appalled me and the hatred that I developed towards him intensified. This idiot called me here to accuse me of something that I had no idea of. He had accused me of poisoning the water supply to the pack and also had the effrontery to attempt to touch my face. I just couldn’t understand him. While I was thinking that he called me here to taunt me about Ezra. He came here speaking gibberish about how I was going to pay for the damages caused to his pack and joining hands with his enemies to launch an attack
Marcel’s P.O.VWalking side by side on the street that led to the children’s park, Elodie broke the silence that pervaded between us. “You aren’t scared that the paparazzi might see us right now? What if they make up horrible news about me because of Mae”Mae. Her name was like a ticking bomb that couldn’t wait to detonate. “Who cares about what the paparazzi thinks? I don’t think that I have ever made an official statement about her being my fiancée. I am just going on with the flow of what I was told” I said while she nodded. “She has been going around telling everyone that you guys are engaged”A chuckle left my lips. “I don’t even remember being engaged to anyone. She is just my friend” Slowly, my mind wandered back to my conversation with Ezra and how he mentioned that Mae had been collecting things from Darius. If his words turned out to be true, then Mae would see the worst side of me. She would realize that I could turn against even the same people that I address as family
Marcel’s P.O.VI watched as Mae’s lips wobbled and her fingers trembled with the glass cup of juice. Her eyes closed briefly and a forced laughter rippled from her mouth. “What do you mean? I am not the one with the memory loss though. Why should I take it?”I fixed her a stern gaze. “Since it is about this, then give me the pills while you take the the juice”Mae stuttered out. “But it isn’t for me. I can make another one for myself. You should drink it first”“Now!” I commanded with this hoarse tone that made her bob her head. I watched the movement her throat made, watching as she swallowed hard while I took a step forward, collecting the pills from her. “Now drink the juice, I mean everything”Apart from me not being able to remember even a fragment of my memories. Something weird has been happening to me. Anytime Mae offers me her juice, i tend to sleep for hours and anytime I wake up, I wake up feeling empty, weak and drained. She forced out a smile, clutching the cup with bot
Darius’s P.O.VMy mind was in unrest, Ammar told me that he hadn't heard from Layzal. Ezra was still missing and my search for him and Layzal proved abortive. I wasn't that bothered about Ezra but Layzal scared me. If he ever makes a comeback then it is going to be bloody. On the other hand, was Mae. I hated to admit it but she was starting to get on my nerves and I was beginning to run out of patience for her because no matter how much I tried, I could never wrap my head around how someone could be so dense, foolish, and just dumb! I placed a lot of power in her hands for her to take advantage of Marcel’s memory loss but she couldn't handle such a simple task.Ever since I had caught Marcel and Elodie kissing in the parking lot, I had been tormented since that day. I had sleepless nights. I was thinking that Mae was going to wreak havoc with that video but that stupid girl embarrassed herself further at her Q&A session. However, all of that didn't matter right now. What mattere
Marcel’s P.O.VMae leaned against the doorframe, beaming with a smile while she swirled a lock of hair around her finger. “Marcel, have you taken your pills? Did the housekeeper bring it on time, I wasn’t able to bring it personally since I was busy”Taking my eyes off her face while fixing it back on the file that I attended to, I nodded. “Yeah, she brought it on time. I used it already, thank you”“I am certain that with constant use, all these nightmares and confusion will come to an end just like you had always wanted”Adjusting my glasses, I raised my head, a small smile playing on my lips. “I know but can you please excuse me? I am pretty busy sorting this out, you see?”Mae pouted, bobbing her head slowly. “I can stay if you want”With a smile on my face, I responded. “I just said that you could leave, didn’t I?”Mae swallowed before she laughed awkwardly. “I was just pulling your legs. I have a media live session with my few fans, I am also busy”“Then go and do what must be d
Mae’s P.O.VMy knees buckled and I almost crumbled to the ground as my hands flew over my mouth and my heart sank into my stomach. The tears that threatened to fall as I eavesdropped on Marcel’s conversation with Robert, streamed down my face.I retracted my step, dread settling at the pit of my stomach while I quickly wiped off my tears as soon as a maid walked by, lowering her head in reverence for me. I swallowed hard as different thoughts coursed through my mind. Was he suspicious of me and was that why he asked for the information of the past workers in the house? Was there a high chance that he was starting to recover his memories?No! If he did, then I was going to know and he constantly used his medications so that wasn't possible. But what if he finds out the truth because of his growing suspicion of me? Swallowing the heavy lump that formed in my throat, I ran down the hallway, rushing down the stairs with tears cascading down my cheeks. I needed to do something. There
Elodie’s P.O.VI rolled my eyes to the back, walking behind Marcel who seemed kind of worried for Mae. I was so sure that this was one of her petty tricks and she did this just to gain his attention.My only relief was that he was starting to see through her for who she was but at the same time, it was saddening to see him still giving her any attention. Mae knew how to toil with him. As we walked down the hallway, I soon caught sight of Axel standing in front of a door. He was talking with a nurse and when Marcel called out to him, he left the nurse’s side, running towards Marcel. Standing before Marcel, he exhaled sharply and the next thing was that he wrapped his hands around Marcel, nuzzling his chin on his shoulder while he squeezed his eyes shut. Axel muttered . “If I wasn’t there, she could have died in the fire. She just lost consciousness due to the smoke but the doctor said she is fine”“Seeing her in that situation, I was reminded about our parents. I don’t want to lose
