Isabella.The looks in his eyes made me frightened. I could see that he wasn't convinced with what I had just explained to him. I wouldn't want him to find out about the poison in my system, sure enough he would kill my family and kill me as well. He already believes that my family had married him off to him knowing that I wasn't his real Bride in the first place. Now knowing that I had poison in my body system would worsen the whole thing. And sure enough, he would treat me worse than a maid. The near death experience had made me realize a lot of things. I was going to get back at them for every pain they had made me go through and I would serve them something worse than poison. Wherever my mother was right now, she would be in tears. All she has always prayed for was my well being . She had always been so kind hearted, but where did that put her? I had almost lost my life without even my own knowledge. If I had been back home, I would be dead by now. This only meant one thing,
Alexander.Hearing her address my royal abode as her home, it mad me feel pleased. But I had no way of showing it. There was something very different about her. Then she was nothing but a tamed cat but what I see now is a tigeress. I was so eager to know what had changed. What triggered this change? There had to be a story behind it and I would find it.“It seems you were so hungry to the point death.” I sneered. Earlier she acted so tough about the whole thing, looking at the empty plate it was obvious that she had been famished.She raised her eyelids looking at me, “And who is ro blame for that? That's because being the Alpha king doesn't change a thing. You might be wealthy but it happens that I starve right under your nose.” She smirked.Was she trying to provoke me? If that was her aim then it seems she has achieved it. How dare she taunt me? I was her King, her Alpha king. She has no right what so ever to talk to me carelessly. She had to be courting death. I moved closer to
Isabella's PovUpon my return from the hospital, I made a beeline for my room, eager to collapse onto the bed and surrender to its comforting embrace. The day had been an arduous journey, leaving me drained and in dire need of respite.A sense of unease lingered in the air, casting a shadow over my surroundings. I struggled to discern where my focus should lie amidst the chaos that enveloped me."Mistress..." The maids' urgent voices pierced through the haze, propelling them towards me with haste. Their eyes widened in alarm, mistaking my rapid breaths and prone position for a collapse of consciousness.The room dimmed before my weary eyes, as faint sounds reverberated in my ears. Fatigue began to claim me, beckoning me towards the realm of slumber. The day had taken its toll."Mistress," they called out once more, their hands reaching out to mine as they drew nearer."I am fine, just tired," I reassured them, watching as relief washed over their faces, their burden lightened. They gu
Alexander's PovI awoke with a fiery determination to tackle my official duties. It's been quite some time since I gave work the utmost focus. Wasting no time, I freshened up and made my way to the office. At my entrance into the office, I sighted the bunch of documents awaiting my attention.I sat back, going through each of them with full focus. Suddenly, my personal assistant entered the room, approaching me with a sense of urgency."Alpha king, the luna's father is here to see you," he informed me.I paid him no attention, my focus locked on the files in my hands."Boss, the luna's father is here," he repeated while I shot him an angry glare. I hadn't expected a visit from Isabella's father, especially not at such an inconvenient time. Why did he have to come and disrupt my day so soon?“I wasn't deaf when you said that earlier, why did he come?”“I have no idea, it should be family matters boss, I have no right to meddle”It seemed he had a point. Robert will certainly say nothin
Emilia.I sat comfortably watching the news, I furrowed my brows in a frown. The news was on about my father's company, taking the remote control I switched the channel I to something more fun. I was already so bored of old news. They wouldn't see what's coming. My mom walked in with a cheerful laughter, she had this beautiful glow on her face. I was curious to know what it is about. Seeing me, she applauded. “You seem so happy, what's the gist?” I smiled.“Darling, something great happened today. When my friends found out you were in town, you needed to have seen their faces. They looked like someone who had eaten poop. Just as you had advised I have some perfumes as a gift, you needed to have seen their reactions. They were so jealous. Anyways, my main aim has been achieved, so why won't I be happy? I feel like celebrating. What would I ever do without you?I chuckled, “I'm happy they liked the gift.”She let out a scornful laughter, “Did you say like? No! No! No! They loved it.”
Emilia's PovBased on the information I received, it was evident that Isabella, my step sister, was being treated poorly, almost like a slave. I thought it would be wise to discuss this with our mother and hear her perspective on the matter. However, I didn't expect her to be surprised by the information, as she must have already known or suspected something was about it. If anyone is aware of everything that is happening, it would be my mother. But it seems she couldn't really connect to the spy she once had there. As I observed my mother getting a pedicure and manicure, I noticed how focused she was on her own self-care, rather than being the talkative and engaged mother she used to be. I found it amusing and watched her with a smile."Mother," I called out, seeing her respond lovingly to my call."Well, I believe Isabella is being treated like a slave, I mean..."Before I could finish my sentence, my mother burst into laughter. It seemed like she already knew what I was going to sa
Emilia's PovQuietly, I navigate my way to the company, eager to discover what might be happening inside."There she is, the boss's daughter," a guard announces, bowing before me. I scoff at the unnecessary show of respect, accustomed to the privileges that come with being the CEO's daughter.Although I am puzzled by the strange atmosphere, I hide my confusion, knowing it could harm my reputation."Where is my father?" I ask, met with silence from the surrounding crowd.Determined, I quickly entered the building, heading straight for the elevator. With a sense of urgency, I ascend to the top floor, intent on reaching my father's office where I hope to find the answers I seek. He is the only one who can provide them. However, upon arrival, the room is empty, devoid of any trace of him. A dishevelled state hangs in the air, creating an unsettling feeling.What is going on? A sense of foreboding grips me, suggesting that all is not well within the company's walls. It seems as though the
Isabella's Pov It's been two days since my return from the hospital yet I haven't set my eyes on the alpha king. Not even a smell of his fragrance around the place. I had this feeling that there must be a reason behind this which is so unlikely of him. Just while I had these thoughts running through, a maid came in offering a dish for breakfast.“I am not hungry, you can leave now” I ordered . Trying to keep my composure, I placed my hand on my belly, hearing it make fuzzy sounds. It was about to disgrace me right before her.“what’s it with the attitude? Are you sure you don't want to eat? “ I wondered, my eyes fixated on the dish she had brought.“No no no, I'm not hungry” I concluded within, looking away from the dishes she brought.“But ma'am, you will have to eat. This dish is specially made for you” she persisted.I forced a smile through, “Really…? If that's the case, fine, you can leave it on the desk. I will have breakfast as soon as I shower” I dismissed her immediately,
Alexander's PovI glided into the dimly lit room, my presence commanding attention as I issued my decree."Take off the blindfold!"The moment the fabric was lifted, their expressions morphed into sheer disbelief. It was clear they hadn’t anticipated being caught. Their bodies shook, and their voices faltered, leaving them utterly astonished.I let out a hearty laugh, "Surprised to see me? Oh, Victoria... Evelyn, you two...!"The sight of their trembling forms only fueled my amusement. They were truly at a loss for words."I... we... how did we... I can't comprehend how I ended up here," Evelyn stammered, confusion etched across her face."Exactly, what on earth happened? How did we find ourselves in place?" Veronica chimed in, her eyes wide with fear. I couldn't suppress my laughter; their bewilderment was simply too delightful."Are you genuinely curious about how you arrived here? You want the truth, don’t you?" I asked, directing my gaze at Evelyn."You see, all this time, you bot
Evelyn's PovI refused to be on the losing end and have made all the necessary preparations. I meant every word when I said I would win Alexander back.I let out a bitter laugh, mocking Alexander's actions; if only he knew what I was capable of. I couldn't believe he would humiliate me to the point of throwing me out of his mansion. Incredible!It never crossed my mind that he was aware of everything happening and might even be involved."Is everything ready?" I asked as I called my hired assassins. I had positioned them as a backup plan, a Plan B, in case my attempts to approach Alexander proved fruitless.I became increasingly frustrated when I discovered that Isabella was staying indoors and not stepping outside the mansion. How could I execute my next plan with her behaving like this?Staying in the old mansion was wearing me down. Alexander's mother wasn't helping either; she seemed completely unhelpful at this point. From her words and reactions, it was clear she didn't want to
Isabella's PovIt's been two months since I last went outside, and while it's been dull, I haven't felt lonely with my maids around to keep me company. As I sat in front of the mirror, I told myself, “You don’t have to be sad forever.” I smiled at my reflection, appreciating how pretty I still looked despite my current situation. “Look at you…” I said, placing my hand on my belly as I stood up to take a good look at myself.A smile spread across my face as I gently rubbed my belly, feeling my baby bump. I let out a deep sigh of relief; it has been challenging to keep my pregnancy a secret.Just then, Katie walked in and asked, “Thinking about something?”“Not really, I’m just amazed at how quickly time flies, Katie.”We all burst into laughter. Thanks to Leah, Katie, and Maya, who have been so supportive, I’ve managed to handle everything without worry. They’ve helped me keep my pregnancy hidden, and now I’m uncertain about what my next steps should be.It feels like a relief to know
Alexander's PovI have firmly taken my position regarding Daniel. I was unaware of his past relationship with Isabella, and frankly, it doesn't concern me—it's all in the past. What matters to me is the future, and right now, I know that Isabella is mine and mine alone.Since I have already claimed Isabella, I don't care what plans Daniel might have.I tried to gauge Daniel's level of determination and concluded that there's no way he can win Isabella back or take her from me. If she were to run away with him, I would definitely find her, hurt her, and make sure she couldn't leave me again. She would have no choice but to stay with me forever.While I was lost in these thoughts, I struggled to manage my emotions. My argument with Daniel had left him furious, and I needed to calm myself down. So, I headed back into the hospital towards Isabella's room.I had instructed my men to keep quiet about the incident to ensure that Isabella wouldn't hear anything about it. Everything that happe
Evelyn's PovA smile spread across my face as I arranged for my luggage to be taken in.I sat beside Alexander's mother and offered her a massage. I kept smiling, but my mind was racing with thoughts. I didn't want to end up on the losing side after everything that had happened.Since I had already claimed my place in Alexander's heart, I was finally back to reclaim it.From her expression, it seemed she was enjoying the massage, so I decided to take a risk. "Mom, I'm sorry for leaving without saying anything.""It's been five years, Evelyn—five long years. From what I've heard, your breakup with Alexander was quite severe. You nearly destroyed my son. He became a shadow of his former self and refused to explain what really happened. Can you tell me what went on?" she asked.Hearing this filled me with joy. Despite the pain I had caused him, he never spoke ill of me to his mother. It seemed Margret still viewed me as she did in the past.I started to think of how to explain things to
Isabella's PovI woke up in an unfamiliar place, trying to make sense of the blurry images around me. I pressed my hand to my forehead as a heavy sigh escaped my lips. My head throbbed painfully, like I had been in a wrestling match.I shut my eyes, attempting to grasp my surroundings while also trying to soothe my aching head. "What’s going on? Where am I?" I asked, unable to remember how I ended up in such a strange location.Suddenly, a sharp realization hit me: I was in the hospital. I lifted my head slightly in search of some comfort, but my heart raced with anxiety. I remembered the events that had unfolded earlier. "Father! Alexander!" I shouted, recalling that I had brought my father here. But why was I the one lying in the hospital bed?My worries intensified; something must have gone wrong. But where was everyone?I wore a confused expression, grappling with the questions swirling in my mind. I felt an odd sensation within me, as if it was linked to my inner wolf."Why do
Evelyn's PovAs I prepared to head to the airport, I made sure my belongings were neatly packed and everything was in order. I didn’t forget to present myself well, looking sharp and smelling delightful. If there was one thing I was certain I wouldn’t part with, it was my stunning outfits and exquisite perfumes. Thankfully, he hadn’t taken those with him.“Are you coming along?” I asked, striding toward the car that would take me to the airport.“Absolutely, I’ll see you off,” she replied.“That’s not what I meant. I’m asking if you’re coming with me to meet Alexander.”“Evelyn, I can’t do that. You want to have a moment with Alexander, and my presence isn’t necessary. Besides, you’ve already compensated me for my last job. I’d only be in your way. Let me handle things here while you pursue your goals,” she responded.Her answer caught me off guard. “You’re coming with me,” I insisted. I was so accustomed to her company that the thought of her staying behind felt dull.“I’m really sor
Alexander’s PovWhile at the hospital, I settled into the VIP ward to get some rest. My time in Isabella's room was quite absorbing. I had to allow the doctor to do his job while also needing some quiet moments to reflect, even as my heart raced.Thoughts about everything I had witnessed kept swirling in my mind, and I couldn't tell if things were spiraling out of control or not.At that moment, the doctor arrived with some reports. “Mr. Robert needs a heart transplant,” he informed me.“A heart transplant?” I echoed. I was taken aback by the news, but it didn’t really concern me. It sounded nothing short of dreadful. Why was this even my issue?“Is he really deserving of a heart transplant? I doubt it!” I thought to myself. I couldn’t shake off memories of his past misdeeds. Given how he had treated Isabella, he certainly didn’t deserve it.“Inform the family,” I instructed, leaning back on the couch.“Excuse me?”“You heard me correctly. Tell them about his condition and that he nee
Daniels PovAt some point, peace found its way back into my being. I leaned back, a smile spreading across my face as I surveyed the documents laid out before me. The wave of contentment washed over me, unstoppable and overwhelming.I examined the papers, delight bubbling within me, even though I had previously torn some to shreds in a fit of frustration.“Daniel…!” I scolded myself. This is how I react when anger takes hold, so I quickly dialed my secretary. “Please, get me copies of those documents in the stakeholders' names immediately. I need to review them while I have the chance.”As I waited patiently, a flurry of thoughts swirled in my mind. “It truly is a small world,” I mused with a deep sigh.Who would have imagined that upon my return to the country, I would run into Emilia Robert?I chuckled in disbelief; the mere idea of crossing paths with Emilia felt like a twist of fate, a nod from the moon goddess herself. It seemed she was smiling upon me this time. Just think—how w
