Maddox's POV
A few weeks later...
Ugh. Today has just simply been a terribly long day.
I couldn't even tell you when I saw kids in the past twenty-four hours or even Willow, for that matter. I should probably pack up and head back home, though. It's not fair to be leaving her all day without any help with those rascals of ours. Those kids are already walking more than they're crawling and they aren't even a year old yet.
Sighing and laying back in my office chair, I push all the paperwork I've been doing aside and just stare at it, wishing I could burn the damn papers and never have to deal with them again. It's an honour to be King and all for Nirtaville, but God is it ever a big responsibility.
I should hire an assistant of some sort- someone who can make my days a little shorter that way I am able to spend more time at home and help Willow with the kids. She'll definietly need after th
Maddox’s POV"Willow!" I yell out, making my way through the living room all while I try to search for any clues of where she may be.I’m pretty sure that she’s only ever really had like a glass of champagne and that orange juice with the splash of vodka in it. I never remember seeing any in her old house when Samual and I came back to clean up and get a few of her items and the pets, items that I still have yet to give her now that I think of it.God I really hope she didn’t take to the stairs with that bottle. Not only will she have likely broken an arm, but the bottle could’ve smashed all over her, leaving cuts in every part of her body. I’ve seen it happen, and it was Samual it happened to; first break up he’d ever had with Liam before many others and flings he had amongst that.I pull
Willows POVA few months later…I can’t believe it’s been exactly a year today since the twins were born! It almost feels impossible went by this fast, I feel like only yesterday I was in the hospital, seeing them for the first time ever.But now they’re walking- hell they’re even running now with those little legs of theirs!You can most definitely tell that they’re hybrids now because of the insane amount of movement they do for being at such a young age, and the way that their teeth have been growing as well. Apparently with their baby teeth, they get starting fangs that will stay out there in their mouths for a little while and they may try to bite you every so often, until around three. Then they’re on the journey for the next ten years to earn their real fangs.Anyways…Tod
Willows POVThankfully starting up and getting in the car with everything only took me a few moments before we were on the road and everyone was buckled up safe and sound. We’re on the road now, driving down the only road in the forest that will lead us out of Nitraville.As we reach the border between the kingdom and the real world, I check my mirror to check on the twins and the road behind us to make sure someone isn’t following us, even though I’ve been consistently checking it over the past half an hour. We’re clear still, and the babies are now fast asleep in their car seats.Nitraville is a hidden and magical kingdom in the realm of magic, amongst many others you can apparently access as well, but only if you wield the right kind of power to do so. I asked Maddox once about how I never even knew or heard of this place and all he told me was that you require certain powers a
A few days later...Willow's POVIt's been nearly a week now of being trapped in this cell. The only way I can remember if a day passes is by the meals I get twice a day and the ticks I've been drawing up on the wall.Everyday a guard, the same guard, will serve me a tray of that consists of an apple, plain porridge and if I'm lucky, sometimes a full, fresh water bottle. Other times I'll get a half-drinkan one from another inmate.But today instead of porridge, I’ve received an enclosed envelope in place of my food. I try to call the guard back as he walks away getting ready to serve the next prisoner.“Whatever,” I mumble, then turn my gaze back towards the tray with the envelope, staring at the clean white paper with, now that I look closer, a wax stamp from the king…My dear h
Willow’s POV“Ah, look at that, Flynn,” Chloe giggles as every lays eyes on me and my rage-filled eyes, “your old mommy is wear new mommy’s clothes? Doesn’t she look silly in that?”I’m going to rip each organ out of this bitch then grind it up and feed it to her.I’m about to launch at her, yelling, “get your fucking hands off my baby!” But both Mariella and Flynn stop me from doing it.“Mama!” Mariella screeches at the top of her lungs and she gets up from playing with a her favourite doll and comes stumbling over to me.I get to my knees with open arms, letting her tiny little body fall into me. “My little Ella. How are you baby?” I scoop her up into my arms, swiping away a strand of her thin brown locks.
Willow’s POVKissing him like this, right now and right here, it feels like I’m back in our old bedroom, having our first time all overEven the way he’s undressing me; slow and kissing every spot that he removes a piece of clothing from like I’m his treasure.I used to be his treasure… his only treasure…I wriggle my fingers through his belt, shakily pulling it loose from the buckle. He grins against my lips as I unzip his pants, letting them fall down to his ankles with ease.“Like muscle memory…” he groans against my lips as his tongue slides all over my mouth, making me moan.In one quick and easy motion, he removes my tight pants, finally giving me air to breathe in the tight tight space.
The next day…Willow’s POVI couldn’t have asked for such a nice way to wake up this morning. I mean it was nice waking up on a comfy bed, but what really broke me inside was the fact that Maddox wasn’t there when I did.Now there’s just empty space filling his side of the bed and still mold of him in the mattress still remains.I’m not even sure what inside me told me it was alright for me to sleep with him last night. I know he just used me because he loves the sex we have together, but I guess it was the whole taking care of me after his girlfriend punched me that really led to all of that.Whatever. I just need to get over it and try to forget about what happened and pretend it
Willow’s POVA few weeks later….Lately, life hasn’t been too horrible to me like is usually is and I’m now just left kind of chilling in this big mess.I mean, the only thing I have right now are my kids to keep me going and I’m very thankful for that because I had no idea what I would do if I didn’t have them here with me.This morning was probably one of the rudest awakenings that I’ve had in awhile. I woke up to a bunch of random maids in my room, moving all my personal belongings into multiple boxes as well as taking out all of my clothes from the closet and walking out of the room with them. Now I’m sitting here in bed, watching everything I own get unwillingly moved around.“Where are you taking my stuff?” I finally speak out amongst all the busy maids. None of them answer, though and they just c
Willow’s POV“Where are we going?” I finally ask after letting Maddox carry me like some broken object down the hall, not even the least bit bothered when a guard or a maid passes by, shock quite evident on their faces when they lay eyes on the whole situation going on here.He doesn’t answer my question, though, and just continues to hold me against him so I don’t try to flee.I let my head flop back in exhaustion from barely getting a damn word out of this man. “Just let me down for God's sake!” I push on his broad chest, and he finally lets me down on the ground. I straighten myself out, shaking my head in disbelief, and I begin walking away from him, back towards the bedroom. “I walk you know. And I can also stay very cozy in that bed alone, so I’m going back and you can do what
Hey guys!This is the second last chapter of this book so I’ve decided that when it ends, you can vote whether or not there should be a second book in the reviews. Also, I’ve included some backstory to Maddox’s family with the new doctor that has been added recently and will be in the next book if there is one. Anyways, enjoy! Maddox’s POV “What?” Williamson shoots his head up after fluffing a pillow underneath the arm she’s receiving blood from. He sighs and storms over to me, snatching all four tests out of my hand. He may be half my height and weight, but this man is the last person I will ever argue against; he’s scarier than my father most times. I see the negative one first, giving me this strange, ‘are-you-stupid?’ Look before I motion for him to look further, then he sees the other three which are all positive.
Willow’s POVI’m sitting on the edge of this infamous bathtub, impatiently waiting for the water to reach the desired point as I also anticipate the results of all four tests lined up on the counter.I’ve decided that if the tests are negative, I’m going down in this water with the help of whatever potion shit Maddox keeps here in this medicine cabinet and some of my old razors which I’ve already begun to pry apart.Before preparing for all this, I made sure that no one was in the other room by continuously calling out for help. I know someone would’ve responded- especially Maddox if he were here. Knowing him he would likely just tell me to do what I was told then threaten to inflict some sort of cruel punishment on me.Fuck. That scar in my bac
WIllow’s POVA few weeks later…Misery. Absolute misery. Nothing but misery and pain down here in this cell with no one to speak to but the occasional rat that will scurry by me, searching for any bits of food I’ve left because I felt too sick to eat the disaster they give me on a plate.All my life is at this point is an endless loop-hole; everything goes spiraling downhill, then the next I’m too in love or happy to even see the consequences that there are to come with having emotion like that. Then, everything just repeats and repeats, but in a worse manner every single time.I should’ve known when Maddox brought the kids in after I found him sleeping next to me that morning that shit was going to hit the fan because Maddox had a plan; Maddox always has a plan and I should know that.
Willow’s POVIn the morning….Last night was the best night I’ve had in weeks so far, even if Maddox slept in the same bed as me just so we could put on a show for the twins so that they won’t have any suspicions with our relationship. I guess they’re nearly three, but really, in reality, they’re very smart for their age.I’m predicting that Flynn is going to make a good ruler with his father with his ‘political’ views one day and Ella will end up at the top of her class. And maybe, just maybe, I can convince Maddox to let her go to one of prestigious universities in Nitraville or somewhere in the dark realm.Out of the two of them, I’m really not sure who will rule yet. It is too early to tell their real personalities, even if they become more and more prevalent everyday. Things and interests can change, especially at an ag
Willow’s POVWhere the hell did he even go? It’s not like I was wrong or anything because seriously, if I’m their mother, should I not be able to see them? They’re so young, though, so will they even care that I’m gone? Maybe all I was to them was another caring person towards them who fed them with my own body for a year handmade sure they got everything they needed. But that’s all for Maddox now, isn’t it? I’m just here now to produce more children for him so I don’t get my neck tied up in a noose and be hung in front of the entire kingdom.I’m beginning to think that the noose may just be the best option now. All I want to do is rip these bandages off of my skin, open up my wound, and let myself die from infection and blood loss.The pain is too much to bare now. I’ve lost every go
Maddox’s POVI slam the notebook shut between my tensed up fists and toss it to the ground, too angry to even look in Willow’s now hurt and tearing-up eyes.“You should know by now that after having been married for nearly four years now that I’m not fucking stupid when it comes to you trying to run away from me. This would’ve the what… FOURTH time you’ve tried to escape, and this time you even left your own two children behind with nothing but a stupid love letter to them that they can only read when they’re older!” I bellow, pacing up and down the room, wanting nothing more than to grab my belt that’s laying on the washroom floor and whip her back until she’s begging me for my forgiveness.“For christ sake, Willow, they’re only three years old! Do you really think that
Willow’s POVA week later…Maybe the wolf coming after me wasn’t such a bad thing… maybe, just maybe, it was bette than that to happen than being chased by Maddox until he became so angry with me that I would end up being a meal.Yes, I went through pain with that stupid wolf having almost smashed my arm in half, nearly leaving half of it on the ground, but it was so much less pain than what Maddox has been putting me through these past three years- even more now that I think about it. The kids are going to be three soon.Oh no… I’m going to miss their birthday, aren’t I?Well, I hope my death doesn’t disturb that too much. The last thing I want if for my babies to be sad on their big third birthday.Fuck, maybe I should’ve postponed my exit to a little later.Well, whatever. What’s done is don
Maddox’s POVWhat can possibly be taking her so long? She said she was just cleaning up, and I don’t really mind if the bedroom is messy because God knows how much worse I’m about to make it.I knock again, calling out her name again. “Willow?” I holler through the door, wrapping my fist against the wooden door again, and place my ear against it.I hear nothing. Usually it’s very obvious she’s in here with all the cleaning and cooking she’s usually doing to keep herself busy.Why isn’t she answering? She always answers me.I keep my head placed against the door, just listening for even the slightest movement. Well, that’s until I hear a very distinct splash from outside.“That’s it,” I mutter, pulling th
