Elodie’s P.O.VI inputted the house’s passcode, stepping into the house and this air of unfamiliarity wrapped around me. I had been living in this penthouse for close to a month now and yet, it never felt like home. My eyes squeezed shut and the glint of coldness in Marcel’s eyes flashed through my mind. No matter how much I tried to explain things to Marcel that Mae was lying and Axel misunderstood things, he just didn’t listen. “That witch, Mae!”Now I knew why she pulled all those evil stunts when she came to stay with Marcel and me. It was because she had a stupid crush on Marcel that ended up becoming an obsession. Ezra told me that when she was in Germany, she was spreading horrible rumors about how she was jilted by Marcel and how I had used a spell on him. Something weird was also going on with Mae. She had fired all the workers, sent all of them packing, and had given strict instructions for me not to ever be allowed inside and the worst thing was that she brought in her
Marcel’s P.O.VAs soon as those words escaped my lips, that was the moment I snapped out of my reverie. Did I just say those words out loud? Fuck! Everyone’s gaze lingered on my face as they all exchanged fleeting glances with one another while murmurs erupted in the room. What was wrong with me? Why did I have to talk to her? Why!My eyes closed briefly and I bit my lower lip in regret. Flicking my eyes open, I leaned forward, clearing my throat before fixing everyone with a stern expression. “What I meant was that we could implement the idea of spells in the ads that would be used in attracting people closer to Elodie” Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. What was wrong with me? At this point, it was evident that I had lost it because why did I have to mention her name?I watched as everyone’s lips parted in shock, confusion evident on their faces. “Sir, we weren’t talking about any ad placement. You had called a meeting to talk about the stocks that fell recently”Anger flared within me at tha
ElodieEzra came down the little wooden steps after checking out the seating pod that was surrounded by potted green plants and fresh roses. Ezra gaped in awe. “You have made a pretty garden for yourself on this terrace”I took a scoop of the strawberry-flavored ice cream, the expression on my face inscrutable as my legs curled by the sides. “Ezra, did you come here to check out the garden or did you come here to tell me what you discovered?”He shook his head, walking towards me before plopping on the sofa across from me. “I am just amazed”I shot him a glare. “I don’t have all the time in the world to spare. What information do you have?”Ezra squinted his eyes. Something seems off between Mae and Darius. I've noticed that whenever Darius gives his daily report on the people he meets, he always leaves out Mae’s name. The other day, when I followed him, I saw him discreetly handing a small carton to her” My heart lurched. “What could that be?”“I don’t know. I still have no idea abo
Marcel’s P.O.VMy heart raced, thudding against my chest like a bird desperate to be set free. Slowly, I pulled away from the kiss, my eyes fluttering open only to see the shocked look on her face as her eyes widened. Wait, did I just kiss her? Her!My lips parted in shock, the aftertaste of strawberry lingering in my mouth as I ran my hands through my hair frustratedly. Confusion swamped my mind because why in the world did I kiss her? I stared at her incredulously. “Now I know what is going on. You knew that I was going to come here and then you activated your spell and that is why you made me kiss you”Confusion marred on her features as she pointed to herself. “Me?”I nodded despite the embarrassment that crawled inside of me. “Yes, since you knew that I was going to be taking the kids”Elodie clicked her tongue in her mouth, slipping the hair that fell on her face to the back as she stepped forward, closing the space between us. “You seem to be forgetting the information that
Mae’s P.O.VI gnawed on my fingers, tears dampening my eyes as agony sliced through my mind. The image of Marcel’s eyes that blazed with fury lingered in my mind, tears spilling onto my cheeks as I swallowed the heavy lump that lodged beneath my throat. No matter how much I tried to, I couldn’t wrap my mind around what was going on in his mind concerning Elodie. While his words remained persistent on how he didn’t care about her, the glint in his eyes said otherwise. The fear that the world I was building around me could come crashing down clawed at me, leaving me terrified.I dabbed at my eyes with my hands, taking a deep breath. “Everything is going to be fine. It must be the mate bond behind all of this, Marcel said that he doesn’t care about her” I muttered, assuring myself while glancing behind me to be sure that no one was looking. I removed the powdery substance, mixing it with Marcel’s juice. Darius had assured me that the combination of this with the pills that he always p
Elodie’s P.O.V I placed a finger on my lips when memories of Marcel’s lips on mine flashed through my mind. The way he stared at me in the board meeting, the way he kissed me, and the way he looked out for me. It was now certain that despite his memory loss, the bond that we had shared could never be denied and very soon, he would regain his memories. I was sure of that. My eyes closed, a smile spreading across my face while all the pleasant memories that we both shared in Hawaii washed over me. I could relive those good memories over and over again. However, that moment soon ended and I was jerked out of my fantasy world when my phone vibrated against the dressing table. A frown replaced the expression on my face and I was so sure that it was Ezra who was calling because I had been trying to reach him for the past two days without a response from him. Now that I thought about it, the triplets hadn't given me feedback concerning their mission. Maybe, they wanted to fill me in wi
Susan’s P.O.VI stared deep into the eyes of the woman that I had held with contempt my whole life. The more I stared at her, the more my hatred for her intensified. Growing up, I had watched my dad avert his love for me, focusing instead on Elodie and my other half-siblings. She stole the love that he had for me and she stole my childhood from me. He would always address her as the apple of his eye, spoil her, and publically announce to the world how she was his pride. She was his favorite child while I was abandoned, left to beg for his attention, his love, and for him to provide the basic things for me.I was sure she was the reason he abandoned me and just the way, my childhood was stolen from me, I was going to take everything away from her and she would experience the pain that I went through when I was young. I would make sure that she experiences what it feels like to be lonely, forgotten, and rejected. I would drag her through the hell that my mum and I went through. “Th
Darius’s P.O.VSusan recoiled in horror, her screams echoing through my ears as she cried over the phone. “Darius, I have rashes all over my skin. It is itchy and I am going crazy right now. I have a fashion brand to launch tomorrow and now my skin is ruined” Confusion swamped my mind, wondering what was going on. “Susan, calm down, if you have a skin reaction, it must have been caused by an allergy or something like that. You can postpone the launch of your fashion brand and find your way to the pack’s hospital. You don't expect me to take a flight from Thailand just to take care of you”Susan yelled. “Can you listen to yourself right now? Do I look like I have an allergy? Do you even know what is happening in the pack”“Susan, I left the pack in safe hands. You are the Luna and Finn is with you,”“Darius, the whole pack is in serious chaos. Something is wrong with the water because the servants who took their baths have the same skin reaction as me. Even Finn has boils all over his
