Chapter 79My stepdad was lying in his own pool of blood.I had second thoughts about going in to check if he was still breathing, but after some time I summoned the courage and went in.Seeing that he was still breathing, I pulled out my phone and dialed Darien's number. Even if he's a bad person, there's no way I would leave him to die this way.I looked around and saw the knife lying on the floor, then I realized that he had been stabbed—by whom?It was then I heard faint footsteps from behind. Then I knew I wasn't alone in the room.I stood up, only to see a lady, whom I guessed was his wife, standing behind me holding a knife with a deadly smirk playing on her lips."I wanted to kill him alone, but now that you are here, I think it's better to end you too," she chuckled."Who are you and why did you do this to him?""Do this to him?" She chuckled."Don't skip my questions! Why did you stab him?" I half-yelled, and she scoffed."I stabbed him because he deserved it! After everythi
Chapter 80"It's you? It's been a long, good afternoon," Drake smiled at Alisha."Yes, I requested to see you. How have you been and how's she?" Drake smiled happily."She's been fine. Trust me, having her is the best thing that happened to me," Alisha nodded."What happened? I was told you brought her to the hospital by a nurse. Is she okay?" Alisha asked, and the smile on his face disappeared."She fainted all of a sudden," Alisha's eyes widened."Don't tell me you are stressing her," Drake bent his head, thinking of how to tell her his fears."No, not that. She just fell all of a sudden, and it has something to do with her memory loss. I'm scared; what if she regains her memory and suddenly wants to leave me?" he asked, his voice sad and broken."That would depend on how you treated her during this past month. Just pray she doesn't remember suddenly," Alisha told him."She's been fine, but I'm still scared." Alisha touched his shoulders."It's okay.""Who's the man to you? I mean t
Chapter 81His wife slumped before the doctor could complete his statement."Oh God doctor, what happened? Tell us doctor" Alisha yelled at the doctor."He's not dead, he slipped into a coma and from what I've seen, he would be in this coma for three months or more, once again I'm sorry" The doctor walked away leaving them stranded and confused.The nurses arrived with a stretcher and rolled her out."You see what she caused, now you see what she's caused, now she fainted like she'd pained" Darien rolled his eyes."I warned you but you just wouldn't listen, you continued yelling at her even when i told you not to. If something should happen to her then you'd be held responsible!" Alisha hissed loudly then walked away."Why's she yelling at me like I made her faint? It wasn't my fault bro!" Darien hissed.***The sound of the car hanging outside made Mr Mandes open his eyes."Michael and his wife are here, where are you, Amanda? They are here!" He told his wife"Why are you shouting li
Chapter 82"Come on, rest, let me go get you something to eat" Drake muttered helping Sonia lay on the bed."I want to go downstairs with you, I don't wanna stay here all alone" Sonia pouts her lips cutely."I won't take much time baby, you ain't strong enough to follow me down, don't worry I won't take much time, tell me what you want to eat""Nothing, just make me tea I'm not hungry""But you haven't eaten anything since morning""Don't worry I will be fine" She smiled.He kissed her forehead and then walked out.She laid back on the bed.Minutes later he returns with a cup of tea and some loaves of bread."Here, let me feed you." he carried her up, making her sit on his lap."I'm full now, come on, eat the rest. Or rather let me just feed you" She took the cup from him and began feeding him.Soon they were done, he undressed her and then carried her into the bathroom to go take a bath. After giving her a bath he helped them change into a simple dress, making sure she was asleep, th
Chapter 83"Pray mom. Pray nothing happens to my wife or my unborn baby because you won't find it funny!""How is it my fault? She was trying to shout at me. That's why this happened, so why are you blaming me?" "Just shut up already! Shut it, Amanda!" Mr Mandes snapped at his wifeMichael carried her out of the room, and then his dad ran after Him with the car keys.Mrs Mandes hissed loudly then walked Back into the kitchen.*Micheal and his dad walked around the hospital reception, restlessly."Dad I'm scared, I don't want anything to happen to my wife. She's been crying for hours now, please Dad let me just go in there. I want to stay beside her, please" Michael told his dad and as if the doctor knew it he walked out of the operation room."How's my wife?" He asked running to meet the doctor."I'm sorry, we've tried our best but there's nothing we can do," the doctor told them."What do you mean doctor? Answer me, is my wife okay?" Michael yelled at the doctor."She's not fine, s
Chapter 84Writer's POV;Michael, his dad, Drake, and also Sonia could be seen in the room.Even a fool would be able to tell that someone important was missing in the circle, their mom.Sonia and Drake arrived In the afternoon while their Father had gone home and his presence there was the second time.Fortunately, Drake and Sonia were the ones who brought food for the new mother since their mom refused or rather vowed not to visit the hospital. Her behavior was becoming alarming even though none of them mentioned it to her. Why would a woman be so wicked and mean to even her own sons? Is the act something she developed new or has she been doing so for some time now?The relatives who visited kept throwing questions at them as to why she wasn't around and the husband's response always left them wondering what was going on.Normally seeing one grandchild is the prayer point of every mother-in-law but Amanda is proving otherwise."You see brother, he looks exactly like me, he took my
Chapter 85"I'm so sorry I reminded you of the past" Mr Mandes muttered softly, taking a seat beside his wife."Tell me, why would I be happy with them when they misplaced mine like she meant nothing? They forgot her on a bus like some piece of clothes now they want Me to love and care for their wives like my own? That's impossible Martin! I want mine, I want my baby, I still miss her, I want to have her back in my arms, I want to hear her call me mom, is that too much to ask for?" She cried."I'm so sorry I made you cry, I also feel bad for what happened but you have to understand the fact that there's no way you'd be able to get her back, what if she's died or something? Who doesn't know what becomes of her after that day, what if the man sold her out or even abandoned her that day?" Amanda threw him a deadly glare."Don't deceive me! My daughter is fine, I keep seeing her in my dreams and she's been assuring me that she'd come back to me, she's not lying! There's no way Mira would
Chapter 86Alisha's POV I stepped down from the car and then helped her get her back out of the car.She was discharged earlier today and she insisted I take her home even when I volunteered to take her home with me, she bluntly refused my offer.I followed her into the bloody sitting room."You can leave now, I will arrange things in the morning," she told me.I looked around, my eyes moving from the bloody floor to the clothes scattered all over the room, then back at her pathetic figure.I couldn't just leave everything for her. If I had left it then I wouldn't have been able to enter here by tomorrow."Go get a rest, I will help you put things together" She looked at me, shocked."You'd help me tidy things up? Won't your husband get angry?" She asked, looking concerned. I shook my head indicating no."Don't worry he won't say a thing, I'm the one doing the work not him" Seeing my mind was made up she nodded."Can I have the mob stick? And a bucket of water too""Sure" she nodded
Chapter 159Dungeon* Dora followed the guard into the prison. Darien had agreed to let her see Sandra and have a few words with her.“There, ma'am, please don't go too close to her. She stabbed a maid who brought her food yesterday; she's looking for people to drag down alongside herself. She's holding a sharp object in her body, so you should not go near her,” the guard whispered to her."Sure, I won't go close to her. Thank you for telling me," she whispered back."Who do we have here? I've been hearing your name for some time; I guess I'm finally seeing your face."Immediately Sandra heard her voice, she quickly stood up and walked to the gate."Do I know you from somewhere? It's good to hear you say you've heard so much about me. I didn't know I was that popular.""Well, it's okay. I heard you killed Luna. That's so bold of you. I also heard you told the alpha you did it because you thought that was what he wanted. Who in God's name would want their mate dead if not a wicked witc
Chapter 158What? Do you want to see her? She's locked up, and why should I trust you that you won't do anything silly if I take you to see her?" Darien questioned."Oh, come on, I wouldn't have shown up here if I was still working for them. One thing I need you to understand is the fact that I never worked with them willingly. They fucking bewitched me; they made me do all sorts of mean things, and when I finally got myself back, they dumped me to suffer, just like they did to the Sandra lady.""Sandra? How come you know they sent her?""I don't need to be told by anyone because I heard it with my own ears. I heard them discuss it; they fucking sent her here for you, but she ended up doing otherwise, so they've abandoned her to face her fate.""How come she never mentioned any of this to me? She told me she came back because she was tired of staying with her friend, that's why she came back. I didn't even suspect anything, and trust me, everything that happened, I didn't know how it
Chapter 157Dora knocked on the gate for the umpteenth time; she'd been knocking for the past ten minutes, and funny enough, none of the guards came to open the gate. She just assumed none of them heard her, so she continued knocking.After some time, the gate finally opened."What is it? Can't you just understand the writing on the way and leave? On a normal occasion, the gate is usually open, so seeing it closed by this time, you were supposed to know the alpha doesn't want to see anyone, so just leave!" The guard snapped at her."I'm not leaving. Go in there and tell him I'm here to see him; he will surely come out to see me!" "Who are you? And why should I tell him you are here? Who are you to him?" The guard yelled."Go in and tell him Dora is here to see him.""Dora? Who's Dora? Why would you be coming here to look for him? The alpha is still mourning his Luna, so he's not in the mood to see anyone. Just go and return later. He will see you by then.""You don't just chase me aw
Chapter 156"So this is what you plan to do with me? Do you plan on dumping me like nothing when you've finally gotten what you've wanted? Oh wow! So this was it? You fucking want to dump me after everything. I can see, I've always known you, and your mom can’t be trusted, but trust me, I have a backup plan. If you think of bringing her back, brainwashing her to do your bidding, then leaving me like a fool, then you are wrong. You should be ready to face me tomorrow too. You both made my life this way, then you want to leave me to suffer? It's impossible!" They turned to look at her."Dora! How did you get in here? Didn't we agree you wouldn't come here to see me?" Henry asked, walking up to meet her."Oh yeah, you asked me not to come so you could do whatever you please. Yeah, you asked me not to, but I did anyway. If I hadn't come, then how would I have known what you have in store for me? I was a fool to have believed you loved me; you were only playing me! Oh wow, I have been fool
Chapter 155They both looked at her, pissed. Who would have believed they had been wasting their time telling her all this just for her to call it a story? She's mean.It took them so much effort to generate such a sweet story that matched her situation, but now she's not even close to taking what they said seriously."How could you say such a thing? We just told you everything that happened, yet you took it as a joke?" Emily scoffed in frustration."I'm not a kid. You just mentioned he's your stepson, so possibly you just want to use me to take revenge on him. You shouldn't stress yourself making up fake stories; I don't even know any of the people you just mentioned. So tell me, what do you need me to do for you? You saved my life, so you are my benefactor. Just tell me how you need me to help you. I don't remember anyone pushing me down the bridge. You know, I somehow have this feeling that you both are fudging these stories to tell me. You know I can tell when people are lying to
Chapter 154 Writer's POV:"No dear, that's not what you Heard, come on Come here," Michael told Daniel who was standing at the staircase listening to the conversations."Uncle please don't lie to me, tell me what happened to me mom, I know for sure that my mommy is not always, she would have been here like eye promised if everything was alright" Daniel insisted.Michael carried him in his arms then went back to place him on a seat and squat in front of him, the rest could only watch not knowing what or what not to say to the baby, he's a kid so on a norm he's not supposed to be told right away, but his constant resistance and the way he asked the question, it shows he already knew it, he was only asking to confirm."What happened to my mom, grandpa?" Seeing his Uncle Michael wasn't willing to answer him he turned to his grandpa."I'm so sorry dear, nothing happened, everything is alright, come on let's grandpa go cuddle you to sleep remember you asked for it in the morning," his gran
Chapter 153Please stop, please, they are all innocent," he cried."And my Luna isn't? You could have thought about the consequences of your actions before you did what you did. Even after you crashed the car, you still went ahead to force her down the bridge. You and everyone who belongs to you deserve to suffer for killing her. Neither you nor any of them deserve to live. I will do you the favor of killing them, and trust me, the world will praise me for this; the pack will sing my praises!" Darien yelled as he emptied the last bullet straight into the old woman's forehead."Mom! No, Mom, please, I'm sorry. I was paid to do it. I will tell you who sent me," he finally shouted."Good, go ahead," Sandra's heart raced."Darien, I don't think there's any need to ask him; he might blame me to implicate me," she told Darien. Darien threw her a deadly glare, forcing her to keep her mouth shut."Go on, speak!" The two remaining ladies were already panting hard, knowing they would suffer the
Chapter 152Mrs. Mandes fainted before he could complete his statement.Drake caught her before she could fall to the ground.Their dad didn't say a thing; he just clenched his fist, his breathing coming out rough, while Michael, on the other hand, had already taken his seat, his hands covering his face.If only their mom hadn't advised her to go back the day she came; if only he had protected her more. He wished he had stopped her from leaving; she would have been mad at him but not dead.**After a while, Drake had already taken their mom upstairs. He knew this would happen, so he came with his tools. He did everything and gave her an injection so she could rest."How did this happen? Is it why Darien has refused to pick up our calls? I guess he should be happy now; he has succeeded in killing her so he could marry his so-called friend.""It was a truck. The driver has been caught, and Alisha? She wasn't found; she fell down the bridge and the car exploded!" Michael cracked his knuc
Chapter 151Sandra walked from one edge of the room to another, panting. She had been calling the guy's line, but unfortunately, he wasn't picking up, and the thought bothered her so much.The guy not picking up could only mean one thing: either he had been caught or he was dead.A faint knock came on her door, and her poor heart couldn't help but skip. Her subconscious mind kept telling her that something was wrong."Who's there?" she asked slowly."It's me, ma'am," the maid replied.Already knowing the sort of person she appeared to be, Darien didn't bother sending a guard since she might suspect something was wrong; she might just decide to end her own life instead of being caught or blamed."How may I help you?" she asked as she opened the door.The maid smiled fondly and then replied, "The alpha is back; he sent for you.""Did anything happen? Do you know why the alpha called me?" she tried to get words out of the maid."No, ma'am, all is well. I think he got you a gift or someth
