Chapter Fifty-Nine. Ace's POV…So shocked I got that my jaw dropped in disbelief. I'm certain I didn't hear well—yeah, that's it because there's no way in hell that Ariel would utter such nonsense from those pretty lips of her. As much as I tried to smile and play unmindful of her words, I just couldn't. The frown on my lips persisted, and my fingers absent-mindedly curled into an angry fist. “Can I go now?” her obnoxious tone snapped me quickly from my thoughts—again, I ogled at her shockingly. Mother was right, Ariel truly has changed. She undeniably Isn't the same girl I was mated too. I thought tactfully, with Ariel glaring angrily at me. Before I could respond to her question, she unexpectedly pushed backwards. She made a path for herself, then grabbed hold of the doorknob. “Ariel, wait! We need to talk” I held her left wrist tightly, hoping she'll reconsider and actually have a conversation with me. “Let go of me Ace” she grunted between gritted teeth. “Ariel, it won't take
Chapter Sixty. Ace's POV…“What!” I couldn't control myself from yelling disbelievingly the instant mother made that utterance. Despite how I shouted, she didn't spare me a glance, instead solely fixed all her attention on Chloe. Chloe, on the other hand, didn't seem as surprised as I expected her to be—instead, she gaped continuously into mother's eyes and…for some reason, I could sense determination emanating from her. Oh, fuck!Someone should please tell me Chloe isn't going to accept this ridiculous task. Is she seriously going to do it just for acceptance? ‘Nah, I doubt that. Our mate can't be that foolish’ I thought tactlessly, only for my wolf to laugh in mockery. ‘Can't you see the desperation in her eyes? She's going to accept it, trust me on this’ my wolf reminded and I went mute. Inwardly, I kept contemplating whether to allow shit like this to happen or not. I mean, for starters, mother is only trying to make amendment to the things I've fucked up—should I really get i
Chapter Sixty-One. Writer's POV…With the quickness, he used to speed out of the house, Agnes found it quite strange how concerned Ace is about Chloe. She honestly thought he sees her as a mere sex partner, but who knew he values her this much?“Oh well” she shrugged slightly before ascending the stairs. She met a maid in the hallway who she instructed to go get her a bottle of wine and a glass cup. Her order was carried immediately and soon in her room, she sat comfortably on the cushion, sipping stylishly from the glass cup. “Ha! Everything is going as planned” she sighed then a sly smirk crept up her lips. Her mind raced back to her previous plot—sending an assassin to terminate Kevin, but unfortunately, it failed, and she almost got exposed. Agnes is definitely not going to take any more chances—Kevin's going to be exterminated today; one way or the other. “I don't understand why I'm confident in that girl. Maybe because she's so desperate. How pathetic!” she laughed lightly to
Chapter Sixty-Two. Ariel's POV…“Ar… Ariel, have mercy please!” a shallow cry elicited from her lips before she coughed out blood. Yet, my hands failed to let go of her throat. “Pl…ease” Chloe added with tears flowing voluntarily down her cheeks. My mind and soul weren't one anymore—my body wanted nothing more than to send these two motherfuckers straight to hell, while my mind kept persuading me to, them, go. Overly confused that I was, I growled in pain due to mental overthinking. By now, Chloe's face was soaked in blood, while Ace laid seemingly lifeless on the floor drenched in his blood. The entire ward, the wallpaper, and even the white sheets were painted in their blood. Fortunately, a single stain wasn't on Kevin's face—that was what literally mattered too. “I'm going to die” Chloe's fingers were running through mine in an attempt to break free from my hold. “Stop talking!” I could tell that was my wolf growling at her. In a swift move, she was tossed brutally to the wall—
Chapter Sixty-Three. Ariel's POV… The amount of anger that continuously passed through my veins got me gripping tightly the handle of the wheelchair. The metal got reshaped due to my insanely tight grip once I pulled my hand away. How dare they lay such foul allegations against me? “Like…what the fuck!” I rasped furiously, with Tikka gaping silently at me. “Calm down, Ariel” she cautioned as the windows began to shake uncontrollably because of the harsh wind that suddenly began blowing. I inhaled deeply, then exhaled heavily—trying to control my temper. “But Tikka this …is bullshit,” I whined after I calmed down. She left Kevin's side, then strolled towards me. Tikka crouched, now staring into my eyes. “Ariel” she cupped my cheeks in her hands while I remained quiet, wanting her to speak completely before voicing out my thoughts. “It's understandable why you're so vexed, but that doesn't mean we'll have to act recklessly. Ma'am, Agnes is using this as a means to bring you out o
Chapter Sixty-Four. Kevin's POV…For how long I've been unconscious, I never knew, but telling from Ariel's reaction, I'm sure it quite a while. I woke up fragile to the bones then again, once I gaped at my snowdrop's sleeping figure, energy surged through me. She seemed so heavenly while asleep, and I felt so hesitant to wake her up. Although I changed my mindset as a drop of tear escaped her eyelid as she slept. Now, she's clutching unto me like oxygen, simply refusing to let me go—I would rather not let her go either. “Snowdrop” I smiled more aesthetically, hugging her more tenderly around the waist. “I'm… I'm so glad that you're back, Kevin! Wah!! You…you don't know how much I've missed you!” She wailed excessively, yet one could tell the despair laced in her tone. “Forgive your mate, Ariel; I will never leave you” I promised as I stroked her hair beautifully. I guess the loudness of her cries successfully brought Tikka. Tikka's jaw dropped in disbelief, yet a single sound di
Chapter Sixty-Five Ariel's POV There was no doubt I was having a very bad feeling about this. What if Mr. Norah was a snitch? What if? Tikka never told her the location of where we are saying but he suddenly showed his face to us. What kind of a man was he? I just hope he isn't snitching on us. Agnes and his puppets had tried to make my life so miserable before. I can't let Mr. Norah add to my problems. Tikka glared at Liana but that was the last thing on my mind now. I felt the tension growing thicker between us. It was growing stronger too. I stared at Kevin. I don't want anything bad to happen right now because I am so weak. My legs are weak. If things were to happen now, there would be no doubt I would be injured. As the tension grew, a knock resounded on the door. We froze for a second before Kevin went over to open the door. Everyone's eyes trailed after as he pulled the doorknob backward, revealing Mr. Norah. “Good day sir. We had a tip that Ariel Jones is here. We're h
Chapter Sixty SixWriter's POVMr. Nora was seen tied with a silver chain around the chair. He wasn't awake yet. Agnes was seen in front of him playing with her red, painted polish fingernails. She was busy thinking about how she would deal with him. How she would deal with Mr. Norah. She hated the fact that the man made the fool out of her not knowing he didn't do that. But he met his nemesis. Agnes would kill him. But make him suffer before he dies. She planned to give him a terrible, slow, painful death. At the moment, her hand was itchy to punish him. Using her witch power, she had already prepared a large pool of water with crocodiles and animals who were enough to devour the remains of the body. Corpse. She scoffed thinking about Ariel. She promised herself to pour out her anger on Mr. Nora. She smiled wickedly at the thought of that. Aside from that, she began to think of how Ariel could almost kill his son and his mate. She began to think of the power she has. She knew how
