Xavier entered into the office thinking he was early and he wasn't going to see anyone but to his biggest surprise, Tyler’s secretary was already standing in the office."Good morning ma" he greeted as he walked in" You're late"" I'm sorry" he apologized." You're late!" She said with a little more pressure in her voice, the back of his head rang like a bell had just been hit on his head, how was it late, it was not even early to begin with. It was fucking 7:30 in the morning, what time was he supposed to come to work, she then handed a file to him before pointing at Tyler who was in his office."You're suppose to be here before 7 do you understand, Mr Tyler get to work by 7am in the morning." She informed him." Why? doesn't he sleep?" He muttered to himself" What did you say?"" Oh nothing" he replied." Alright then, we're supposed to be here before 7am so you can get his table and his coffee ready.He likes his coffee hot and not cold so you have to prepare the coffee at the acc
Karen sat on her bed as her eyes got a glimpse of the shopping bags from the previous day.Luna Lucretia had spent a lot shopping for her, Luna Lucretia had been one to always love Karen right from the day they first met until a few days before her death. She stared at the bags not knowing what she should think or do at this point.Maybe destiny was trying to tell her a different thing than that which she was doing, maybe destiny does not want her to stay away from Allen and maybe she could make him love her instead. That could change the entire future if she does. If Allen loves her there is definitely no way he would want to kill her in the end, she thought to herself as she stared."Are you stupid? how can you think that? He killed you" she said as she rested her back on the bed with her eyes stuck to the ceiling." I hate having to think about this all the time" she added as her eyes roamed counting how many compartments the ceiling was divided into above her head." Karen!"There
Oyin drove her car into the school compound before picking a space to park in, Karen unbuckled her seatbelt before stretching her hands towards the backseat in order to pick up her backpack, after which she sat to arrange herself. "Karen I know you don't want to hear anything about this discussion again but let's be real, Lewis has nothing to offer you but Allen on the other hand has everything to give to you, why don't you try considering being with him. It's just an advice, you're my best friend and I want what's good for you. I don't want to see you get hurt or I don't want to see you living a miserable life" she said with a smile as she touched Karen on her cheeks.If only she could tell her the truth, the entire truth of what happened or what was to happen in the coming years from now, if only she could explain to her but she was definitely not going to believe because everyone who would hear the story would think absolutely nothing but that she was crazy. "I know you want what'
Xavier sat on his table, chatting with Lewis who was in class, telling him how he felt his first day was working with Tyler and in return Lewis telling him about his encounter with Karen.He was busy with his phone that he did realize someone just walked into the office..." Hello!" The voice greeted.Xavier raised his head as his eyes met with that of Jayson, he felt like he appeared from nowhere but Jayson self carriage was beautiful along with his clothes.He was wearing a black trouser which was been held to his waist by a customized belt that had J at the front. His white shirt, neatly tucked into the trousers, along with a black jacket. His choice of color complimented his pale skin. His brown hair suit his dark green eyes.From Xavier's calculation this man standing in front of him, was classy, beautiful and loaded." How may I be of help" Xavier said standing as he dropped his phone almost immediately, Jayson on seeing Xavier's face realized that he looked familiar but where di
A muffled scream of a man could be heard as Jayson walked along the hallways of the hotel basement, he got into a room which was covered with glass, where he could see the person on the other side. “How is the progress going?” he asked as he looked through glass to see the man that was chained to a bed, on both his hands and feet. He was also restrained with a belt across his chest, his mouth was covered with a mouth guard and he had a bunch of needles sticking into his skin… restricted, he made stiff movement on the bed as he tried to escape from the pain he was receiving.“ Well I will say we haven’t perfected it yet or still having casualties such as there are some serious brain damage and nerve malfunction.”“ This is bad, we need to come up with the best formula really soon, we need everything to be ready before Tyler would give us the permission to start shipping. We can’t start distribution of something that isn’t perfect, we need to be able to prepare this without any side eff
Xavier rushed back into his office in order to get his car keys, he had informed Lewis that he would come to him once Tyler had left. On entering his office the keys were on the table, he stretched his hands grabbing them, he stopped taking a quick breath before turning around to leave but his tracks soon stopped as he was standing face-to-face with a man who was standing right in front of the door, he wore a black suit along dark sunglasses on his face.From Xavier’s assessment, the man in front of him looked like he was a guard, before Xavier could arrange his thoughts another man walked into the office.“ I’m looking for Tyler” he spoke with authority.“Alpha Benson?” Xavier said underneath his breath as he recalled the Alpha of the Okiami clan.“Your majesty” he said immediately bowing down his head and avoiding eye contact with him.“ You may rise” he spoke. Xavier could feel the vibration from his voice, Alpha Benson looked calm, his voice wasn’t matching for his face. He turne
FLASHBACK Mark stood just a few feet from his sister’s room when he over heard the conversation ongoing between his mother and his sister, she had told her mother all about her pregnancy. Mark couldn’t believe what his ears had just heard, their granny needed to be aware of everything going on, he grabbed the clam shell she had given to them just in case they needed to speak to her.“ Granny!”“My detective tell me who are we reporting today?” She asked with a smile as she was glad to see him. “You are going to be in a lot of shock when I actually tell you what’s going on in the house at the moment” he said before turning around to check if he was being watched.“ Really? Tell me what is happening?’’“ This time it’s all about Chel!”“ you and your sister need to get along with one another”“Well you know very well that can’t happen and moreover not after what she did.”“What did your sister do this time?”“Well she is pregnant! Granny pregnant!! I tell you that stupid girl is pregn
FLASHBACK"What's taking Chel so long to get ready, the train is about to leave and Nate is waiting for her" her mother said as she returned from the kitchen after making breakfast. Chel had been inside her room getting ready for over 25 minutes and no one had heard anything from her."Chel, my child could you hurry up a bit" she called out but there was no response from inside the room."Chel?" She called out to her once more before finally opening the door, Chel's room is completely empty, no sign of her anywhere."Chel!" she walked towards the bathroom opening the door, to her surprise her daughter wasn't there, the bathroom was completely empty."Mom what's wrong?" Mark asked as he walked into the room "Mark I can't find your sister in her room, she's missing" she explained in a panic, hoping there will be a solution to the problem they were facing."What? how is that possible? I thought she was getting ready""Exactly my thoughts, why would she do this, what would Nate think of u
“Karen!" the sound of Lewis's voice echoed throughout the forest, He was sure that this was Karen. The figures sighed before turning around, Lewis couldn't believe his eyes, he stood still. Frozen, shivers running down his spine, “Karen!” whispered with tears falling from his eyes, his angel the woman he dedicated his life to and the person he wanted to spend the rest of his life with, the same woman who wants die and disappear in his arms. She was standing right in front of him, looking beautiful and radiant as ever.Great Lewis, go ahead and start hallucinating, it's so early in the morning and you didn't even have anything to drink” he said to himself as he placed his hands on his waist still staring at Karen figure took a deep breath before closing his eyes.“It will all go away and fade” he voiced before reopening them but the figure did not go away neither did he stop seeing her. “You are silly as the day we met” Karen spoke with a smile.“It's me, I am real, you're not jus
Lewis arrived at the wedding venue an hour later, dressed in a black suit with a white shirt and a silver tie. He felt nervous as he entered the hall where the ceremony was taking place He greeted them politely as he made his way to the front row where the groomsmen were seated. He found a seat beside Xavier who hugged him as soon as he sat down. “Hey man, good to see you. You look as good as you can manage” Lewis rolled his eyes but chuckled at his best friend’s mild insult “I still look better than you though” “I though you weren’t going to make it. You were almost late” Lewis smiled sheepishly and said apologetically. “Yeah…sorry about that. I was having second thoughts.” Xavier shook his head and said understandingly. “It’s okay, Lewis. I get it. It’s hard for you to be here.” Lewis nodded and said sadly. “Yeah…it is.” Xavier put his arm around Lewis’s shoulder and said reassuringly. “But I’m glad you’re here, Lew. It means a lot to me. And to Allen too.” Lewis looked at X
Lewis walked slowly with hesitant footsteps towards the little plot of land where Karen’s body disappeared, He came here every day as much as he could to spend time with her because he didn’t want her to be lonely. He felt his heart constrict in pain at the sight of the familiar headstone. He could never get used to it no matter how much he came here. To him, it shouldn’t even exist and Karen should be by his side. He knelt down beside the grave and placed the bouquet of purple lilies in his hand. They reminded him of her so he bought some on the way here. A stray tear dropped on one of the flowers and he reached up to clean it. “Hey, Karen. It’s me, again” He said with a painful chuckle “I miss you so much, baby. You have no idea how hard it is to live without you. I still can’t believe you are gone but this, right here.” He said gesturing to her tomb “is the harshest reminder that you aren’t here if the fact that I don’t see your face when I wake up in the morning isn’t. It’s been
Karen’s family couldn’t believe she was gone, their sister was no more, Sylvester’s heart scattered into a million piece. Kelsy had given Lewis the letters she had written before she died. The letters that Karen had left for her loved ones were filled with love and emotion. To her brother, Sylvester and Tyler, she wrote about how much she loved them and how proud she was of the men they had become. She was grateful to have them in her life. To her best friend, Oyin, she wrote about their friendship and how much it had meant to her. She forgave her understanding that she had no choice and was driven by her love for Allen. To her father, she wrote about how much she had always looked up to him and how much she would miss him. And to Xavier, she wrote about her hope for his future and how she knew he would make a great Alpha. Lewis was the most hurt and broken hearted. When the letters were delivered, each recipient was deeply moved by their contents. Tyler, in particular, was str
The police arrived and Lucretia was scared, she thought that Jayson did a clean job. She was also surprised to see Xavier alive and well. "You're under arrest for attempted murder", the policemen said. "I'm innocent", she screamed. "What's going on here?", Alpha Benson asked The police men explained everything to him and he was in shock. "Lucretia you did what?" "Benson don't listen to them, I didn't do anything" she voiced struggling with the police. "You did a lot, remember killing my mother and her family, you also tried to kill me so, he would know that I am his biological son, the child of Chel, whom you murdered” Xavier said. Alpha Benson was shocked. Both news felt like a hard blow. What did he just hear? "Is that true Lucretia?", he asked. Not understanding a word. "No, it's not true" she voiced denying it all. " Really?" Xavier said pulling out his phone and playing the recording of her confessing to him. Alpha Benson face turned sour as well as the Luna. "I am
Karen sat thinking about everything the goddess has showed her. She wanted to make the right decision to make peace between each clan. She didn't want anyone to sacrifice their life even again. She took a deep breath grab a pen and paper and wrote some words on it. With expression on her face and tears that ran down her cheeks Kelsey could tell that Karen was willing to give her life up to save both clans from this ongoing curse she immediately picked up her phone putting a call through to Lewis. He was busy with the court meetings but Lewis secretary passed on to him phone after it kept ringing. On hearing the words that Kelsy said he stood up immediately raced into the car. He tried his best to get there as fast as he could. His eyes run through the clock and it was just 15 minutes more before they hand struck 12. Lewis hurried to the ritual site, his heart racing. He couldn't believe what he had just heard from Kelsy. Karen was about to do something reckless and dangerous, a
"Let's make things right." Xavier smiled, and for the first time in a long time, he felt a flicker of hope. Jayson was so angry and grabbed a gun from the table, "Do you both think this is all a game?" He asked. " Jayson listen to me you need to drop the gun someone is going to get really hurt if you don't drop it" Tyler voiced slowly pulling Xavier behind himself. "You think this is a game, what makes you understand him and not me?" He spoke still with the gun facing them. "Jayson calm down" "No, we used to be fine, it was just us what happened Tyler. What?" Tyler took a breath trying to gain control of the situation at hand. "Listen to me, I still love you. I do but you doing this is only going to hurt me" he added trying to talk him out of it. " Don't you think, I'm dumb? I know you don't love me anymore but I'm not going to let anyone get you either" he voiced pulling the trigger. "Get out of the way", Sylvester screamed while grabbing the supposed target, Xavier pulled T
After reading the message Tyler rushed into Sylvester's room telling him about everything that was going on. Sylvester took a good look at the video and with a very clear observation he noticed 'dark coal' written on one of the bags on the floor. That must be where they are, it was a building construction site but after some years the company was facing some financial issues and had to close up. Tyler immediately grabbed his car keys, there was no way he was going to let Xavier go even though it meant him signing a dumb illegal contract. They drove in great speed and packed in a distance. They both came down, they have no idea about what the inside looked like and how many men there were. As Sylvester snuck into the building, he tried to be as quiet as possible. He could hear the sound of Jayson's voice echoing down the hall, and he followed the sound to a large room. He peered around the corner, and he saw Jayson standing in front of a large machine, while a bound and helpless
Karen woke up due to the light that shone into the room, it was already morning, she turned to her side and her eyes fell on Lewis, his face reminded her of the previous night. She blushed, she couldn't believe it, she was his and he was hers. She slowly stood from the bed making sure not to wake Lewis, she placed a peck on his cheeks before going to use the bathroom. Karen had her bath and got changed, Lewis was still in bed, Karen decided to let him sleep. She wondered around Lewis's mansion. There were rooms everywhere. She walked along the corridor still with a sweet smile on her face. She suddenly stopped when she heard a loud crashing sound, like someone just fell to the ground and dropped some items, she immediately followed the sound into a room. It was a library. It was filled with rolls and rolls of books, she immediately caught a glimpse of the lady on the floor, she rushed towards her, picking her up. "Are you okay?" She asked, helping her to her feet. "Yes, I just
