Chapter 64Maria’s POVI woke up to the sound of hurried and loud knocking on my bedroom door, I sprung out of bed and rushed to open the door. It was one of the maids, she looked absolutely tired and harassed, I made a mental note to give all of them a raise at the end of the month.“Yes, what is it?” I asked her, my voice scratched and edgy from all the crying I did last night.“It is the Alpha, he just woke up and he has been calling for you, I think he is stable now” she said.She did not need to say anymore, I rushed past her not even bothering with my robe, I rushed straight to Ethan’s room.Even from the hallway, I could hear him shouting my name, pounding on the door and trying to get out.I got to the door and pulled it open not even waiting for a moment’s pause, I opened the door and was met with those perfect green eyes of his, though they were wild and looked positively tired but they immediately softened the moment they fell on me.He grabbed me and pulled me into what co
Chapter 64Alex’s POV“Hostile” that was the only word to describe the environment at the mansion, the maids were on edge, the guards were jumpy and the madam herself had smoke coming out of her ears and her eyes blazing with fire.That was my thought when I walked into the mansion, I was shown immediately to the breakfast room where I found Maria pacing and Ethan was looking very much like a schoolboy that had just being scolded.I cleared my throat as I walked in, all eyes turned to me, Ethan’s darkened considerably while Maria’s narrowed before she cleared her throat and said “Come in Alex, I am so glad you could join us after all”A smile crossed my lips and then I said “Well it was hard not to after the threat I received over the phone”Her eye only narrowed once more and then she said “Have a seat Alex, we have a lot to discuss”I nodded my head and walked over to an armchair and sat down, I could feel Ethan’s eyes on me as I sat so I turned to him and said “Glad to see you coul
Chapter 65Alexander's POVThe house on the address Maria had given me was not what I had been expecting at all, yes she had gone off the grid for years now but I did not expect her to be leaving in such desolate conditions, the house looked pretty much uninhabited.Taking a deep breath, I walked over to the front door and rang the doorbell, it didn't look like it was functioning anymore but one could always hope.The doorbell rang and a smile curved my lips, at least one thing was working in the house, I shifted on the steps and it gave a loud squeak and I feared it will give out under my feet if I stood there any longer.I heard the sound of the locks and a few seconds later the door swung open to reveal the inhabitant of the uninhabited looking house.It was the woman from the websites, Dr. Emily Carter, though she had looked far more glorious on her pictures than she looked right now.Her rich blonde hair looked dull and pretty much unkempt, her blue eyes that had shone with intel
Chapter 65 Ethan’s POV “What do you mean you convinced her to help me?” I asked Alex who was sitting languidly on the sofa beside me. He shrugged his shoulders and said “I mean just that, she agreed to help with your treatment and she will be here tomorrow” It seemed way too easy to me, how did she agree so easily? There was definitely a catch and it was a huge one. “What did she want in return?” Maria asked him before I got the chance to that. For the first time since he arrived, the smug smile vanished from his face and he did not look so chill about the whole situation, he actually looked uncomfortable. “Ummm, what she asked for will be difficult actually” he said. “Care to explain more?” I asked. He was quiet for a while and then he said “She wants Sharon” My eyes flew to Maria at once and I could see that his answer had shocked her just as much as it had shocked me. “What do you mean she wants my mother?” Maria asked slowly. He sat up and said “Your mother ruined her l
Chapter 67 Alex’s POV It was past mid night and I was still unable to fall asleep, every sound was too loud and the bed felt too lumpy, everything was just so uncomfortable, I got tired and got out of bed, perhaps a drink will help me sleep. I walked over to the fridge and pulled out a can beer, it was chilled and when I opened it and took it a sip, it glided down my throat easily, I grabbed a stool and sat in the kitchen placing the cold can of beer on the kitchen island. My eyes darted to the stairs, I had not been on them since that night, tonight I knew the exact reason I was having difficulty getting any sleep, I had stumbled upon one of Zara’s T-shirt earlier and since then, my mood had not exactly been excellent. Sam had called earlier to ask if I wanted to get a drink but I had declined, I had not being in the mood for conversation so I had stayed in. I glanced over at the stairs again, Zara must hate me, I was trying to help the man who killed her and even worse, Maria a
Chapter 68Maria’s POVI had barely gotten any sleep last night, I was up the moment the sun rose in the sky, I was out of bed, I could not calm down, today was the day Ethan began his treatment, today was the starting point to fixing him for good.I could barely contain my excitement as I raced through taking a shower and getting dressed, by the time I got downstairs, I found that Ethan was already there looking neat and clean in a white button up shirt and blue jeans, his hair was still damp from the shower and he simply looked delectable.I smiled at him when his eyes fell on him, I walked over to him, he opened his arms and I stepped right into them, he pulled me to his chest and hugged me lightly.“Good morning love, you look beautiful as always” he said to me.His chest vibrated as he spoke and sent delicious sparks all over my body “You don’t look so bad yourself” I said as I smiled against his chest.A chuckle escaped his lips as he gently pulled away from me but he kept his ha
Chapter 69Ethan’s POVI walked into the room Maria had prepared for my sessions with Dr. Carter, the room was located at the far end of the mansion, far from prying eyes and everyone.Dr. Carter walked in, studying the room as she did, Maria had done her best to make it look like a Doctor’s office, it had everything, it looked comfortable enough and at the same time, it gave off that eerie feeling.“Will this room or perhaps you prefer something else?” Maria asked her from behind us.Dr. Carter turned to her with a smile and said “It is perfect dear, you always did have a talent for doing everything expertly”Maria beamed when she said this and then she said “I should let you guys get on with it, if you need anything, I will be at your full disposal” I walked over to her and gave her a soft kiss on her lips “Thank you for been by my side” I said to her.She smiled and said “I will be by your side, you know that” I smiled before pulling away from her “See you later baby” I said to h
Chapter 70Alex’s POVIt had been two hours after Ethan and Dr. Carter had started their session, I was seated in the living room with Maria who was on edge, she had been pacing and she looked absolutely restless, I was getting dizzy just seeing her move around like that.“Can you calm down please? You are making me dizzy with all your pacing” I said to her when I could no longer bear it.she turned to look at me and I realized she had been nibbling on her nails as well “Really Maria? Nibbling on your nails?” I said with a small smile.“Oh shut up you, leave me alone” she said as she finally collapsed into a sofa close to her.I simply smiled and carried on with what I was doing on my phone, she will calm down eventually.“How do you think it’s going?” she asked me after she had been silent for exactly 2 seconds.I had to resist the urge to exhale loudly “I am sure its going fine which is why everywhere is still quiet, if it was going otherwise, chaos would have filled the mansion by
