Mae's P.O.VThe cookie that I was eating fell to my thigh as my lips parted and my eyes grew wide in shock. Elodie was the boss of Sinclair and Marcel was now ascending his position? What about me? Marcel invested so much in her but he has never bothered to ask me about how my writing career was going. Did he even care about me the same way that I did?A scoff left my lips at that moment and I ran my hands through my hair. "I am here struggling as a writer who barely sells her book copies unless Marcel and his brother buys them, and yet, he made Elodie the CEO, and all of this proved that she is filthy rich!"No wonder she always dressed in expensive and luxurious fashion accessories. My blood boiled just by staring at her face on the screen but on staring at the bracelet around my wrist, I beamed with a smile, muttering. "Just me telling her that the bracelet wasn't any special made her take it off. It will be very easy to manipulate her" A smile crept at the corner of my lips while
ELODIE’s P.O.VI didn’t even have the perfect explanation to describe all the series of events that have been happening in this house ever since Mae broke her neck and was now confined to a wheelchair. It was just so weird that a single fall from the stairs broke her neck and her legs. Marcel, after finding out that the triplets intentionally made the tiled stairs slippery, talked to them and tried to limit their video games but it seemed more like things even got worse between the triplets and Mae. If someone wasn’t complaining about being pinched, then Mae was either complaining about the triplets teasing her. I knew that the triplets were quite obstinate but I never knew that they could be this mischievous. At the same time, I knew that all of this wouldn’t be happening consistently if someone wasn’t triggering that reaction from them. Seeing Mae’s call, I switched off my phone because I knew that it was another call that was made in a bid to report the triplets. I leaned forw
MARCEL’s P.O.VRaising my head, Axel took long strides towards me with his hands folded behind his back. “Hi brother, I hope that you are not too offended by the many things that I have changed in the office” He let out an awkward grin while I shot him a glare before darting my eyes to the computer. “At least you kept my goldfish and saved it from dying”Axel cleared his throat. “Thankfully you are not mad at me and you have no plans of removing my new designs”I almost laughed before I cleared my throat and fixed him a stern gaze. “I am retouching the design here so don't get too excited. Why are you here, Axel? Don't you have an interview with the press?……” I drummed my fingers on the keyboard.“Actually……” His words trailed as he turned to look at the door. He toned down his voice. “He is here standing at the door and……”I cut in. “He can't hear you that easily. Who is standing at the door?His lips parted slightly while he harrumphed, adjusting the tie around his neck. “Alpha Li
Darius’s P.O.VAfter a few days I was about to stand up when the door swung open and Susan poked her head inside, her face crossing with a smile. Returning her smile, my eyes landed on the envelope that she clutched while I raised a brow in confusion. “Is that supposed to be mine?” “Yes,” She said, walking towards me while she handed the envelope to me. “Hmmm, you had a parcel sent to you and the maid gave it to me but I forgot to pass it across to you. I hope that you are not offended”My heart slammed against my ribcage immediately when I caught sight of the address written on it. Forcing out a smile, I snatched the envelope from her immediately, different thoughts swirling inside my mind. Did she check it?What if she had seen it?But if she had known that I conducted a DNA test on Sage, she would have caused a scene. As if she knew the thoughts that were going on in my mind, she sighed. “I am sorry once again. I just placed it in my closet as soon as I received it…….”Awash wi
Darius’s P.O.VPutting all the worry and all the thoughts that swirled in my mind aside, I stepped foot inside the school’s auditorium, applause echoing through the air while I quickly picked a seat in the middle. Amelia soon climbed on stage alongside her classmates while her classmates held the cardboard in their hands above their heads. Amelia stood rooted in the same place, searching her eyes through the crowd and there was a slight frown on her face.Her teacher cracked a joke in a bid to make Amelia participate as she said. “Amelia, let’s get started already or else school isn’t going to close until after midnight”However, Amelia was adamant and somehow, I soon deciphered that the reason why she acted like this was that I came late and certainly, she must have searched for me!I honestly didn’t want to be late to her presentation but I had gotten into a fight with Susan earlier who branched at my office, reminding me about why I needed a will and how she discovered that all th
Marcel’s P.O.VEver since Elodie and I shared our first kiss, things got awkward between us, and for some reason, I couldn’t just help but be filled with guilt, at the same time, my mind lingered on everything that happened between us. Squeezing my eyes shut in a bid to do away with the memories that flooded my mind. No matter how much I tried to do away with the memories, my mind still churned with a whirlwind of thoughts, desperately seeking the perfect explanation for what transpired between us.First of all, we weren’t mates. If we weren’t mates, then why was I attracted to her?Why did I kiss her and most importantly, why did she kiss me back?Jolting me out of my thoughts, a knock landed on the door and the triplets burst in, their giggles filling the air. While Sage carried a tray containing cookies, Silver carried a small cake and on the other Silas fixed his gaze on his comic book while I shook my head, a smile forming on my lips. “Silas” I called and he raised his head, re
Mae’s P.O.V Marcel squinted his eyes at me suspiciously while Elodie collected the bracelet, staring intently at me. “How could this be in the trash can? Even the maids didn’t find it so…..” Elodie exchanged fleeting glances with Marcel who shook his head as his eyes glinted with confusion. “What? Is there any problem?” A mischievous smile played on my lips but as soon as they faced me, the smile disappeared. Marcel finally talked. “I am just curious, what would the bracelet be looking for in the trash can, now that I think about it, since when have you been following us?” My breath soon got stuck in my throat and anxiety crept at the back of my neck as I tried to look for the perfect words to say. “Actually……” My words trailed. “Ummm, I was looking for the left piece of my earplugs so I deciphered that it must have got lost plus it was pretty expensive. I found the bracelet when I was searching for my earplug” I managed to form a lie. “And, I didn’t follow you. I was just here
Mae’s P.O.VRolling my wheelchair to the kitchen counter, my fingers trailed the edge of the knife, and different grotesque thoughts about what this could do to Elodie coursed through my mind.I heaved an exasperated sigh, slamming the knife on the kitchen counter and I was about to move away when something vibrated against the kitchen’s counter, I froze at the spot. Glancing behind me, I caught sight of Elodie’s phone and my eyes piqued with curiosity. I moved towards the kitchen counter, taking the phone and I was taken aback when I discovered that the phone had no password of any sort. “Woah”However, my eyes almost popped out of their sockets when my gaze landed on the message that appeared on her phone’s screen. I raised a brow in confusion before rubbing my hands on my eyes to be sure that I was seeing right. My mouth parted in shock, my other hand covering my mouth in a bid to control the screams that were about to escape my lips. “What the fuck! What the actual fuck?”I ha
