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
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
