ZaraOnce I got into the office building, I felt a wave of peace wash over me. I was dressed in a trouser and a shirt, I looked like a typical teenager because those were the type of clothes Lizzo parked for me. I left the house unnoticed by Ezra and Norah because they always leave the house by 7 am every morning. I was glad I leave by 9 am, that way, they’ll never see the car that comes to pick me up. Because all the cars were expensive.Once I got into Xavier’s office with his coffee which I had already grabbed from the coffee machine, I saw him sitting on the desk with a pen in his mouth. He raised his head to stare at me, his hair was all ruffled and he looked extremely handsome as he stared at me, he looked extremely tired and I couldn’t help but chuckle.“Good morning, Boss.” I teased, and he rolled his eyes.“We have a meeting to attend today, why are you dressed like a child?” He asked rudely, I felt ashamed of myself immediately. “This is the only type of clothing I own,” I
Zara Well, I and Maya had arrived at the office successfully and Xavier was pleased with the dress she had gotten me, he complimented it and since he had little time for him to praise how pretty I looked, we instantly left for the president’s mansion which we were present before. I stared at the mansion in awe, it was extremely beautiful and it reminded me so much of Ezra’s mansion back home. “Let’s get going, Zara” I heard Xavier say to me, my dress was a bit ruffled so I immediately straightened it and hopped out of the car. The heels were just fine as I stood on the tarred floor of the mansion, I held a jotter in my armand a pen neatly sitting on my chest, clutching to my dress. I turned to Xavier and he was taking deep breaths, he looked at me and smiled nervously.“Why do you look so nervous?” I whispered to him, he was standing next to me. “Because this deal is very important to me, it can make and break me.” He said he was behaving as though we were having a professional di
Ezra Standing at the mall, I let out a frustrated yawn. I was here with Norah to get new clothes, and she was going on and on about how her other clothes were now outdated and she needed a change of wardrobe, being a loving boyfriend, I decided to accompany her shopping, but I wasn’t comfortable being in the women segment of the clothing section in the mall, so I stood outside and gazed around the mall with my phone to my ears, I was speaking to my assistant who was explaining to me what the meeting I was going to have with the president was all about, Norah had gotten me completely deviated from work that I had forgotten what the meeting entailed, though I did know it was concerning a land where I’ll be establishing my new hotel if I win the deal against Xavier of course, the other companies were losers, and Xavier was the competition. “Send me all the required documents via email and make sure they are all printed out neatly, got that?” I said to my assistant, she was quick to res
ZaraI had arrived home a while ago, luckily for me, there was no one around, except for Luciano, and when he had seen me dressed in my gown, he complimented me and even told me he didn’t recognize me, of course, it felt good to hear that from him, but at the moment, I wasn’t happy, because Ezra is throwing a party to celebrate his win and he had asked Luciano to inform me. Luciano also told me that Xavier would be in attendance and my heart had done a flip at that news.Presently, the house was being decorated, and Ezra and Norah were getting ready for the party which will begin by 10 pm today, Luciano had told me he had things to do, so he won’t be attending the party. And I was going to work for the party, I’m to serve drinks and make sure everyone is satisfied before they leave. I was seated on my bed when I heard a knock on the door, I wanted to get up to get it, but the person barged in and it was no other than the witch, Norah. “What do you want?” I said to her. “For a maid,
Ezra I stared at Kade as he held onto my mate's arm, he looked very furious and I couldn’t help but feel angry staring at the way he held her so delicately. “Let go of her, Kade, are you crazy?” I said to him, he turned to look at me with extreme rage in his eyes, and he immediately leaped towards me but I was quick to hold his hand in the air. “Don’t you dare try that, you leach!” I snarled at him, my Lycan was mad at the fact that a vampire just touched him. If it weren’t for the fact that he was the president’s stepson, I wouldn’t have invited his dirty ass to my party. “You watched that bitch hit her, what kind of a man are you?” Kade said, he looked very mad at me.“What is your business with her? Why are you defending her?” I yelled at him. My mate was looking very red in the face, her eyes looks puffy. “Because she’s my mate,” He said and immediately walked towards him, I grabbed my mate's arm and she looked very terrified. “Is he your mate? Tell me the truth, woman.” I ye
Zara I was very glad that Ezra took me off maid duty, I was glad that I will have the time to sleep and also get ready for work. Yesterday was one of the worst days of my life, I was very scared when Kade grabbed my arm, I thought he was going to puff me out of there and mark me and make me his. I was happy that Ezra had taken me away from him, Kade scares me a lot and I can’t imagine my life with him, he is crazy. Today, I woke up to meet 20 missed calls from Xavier, I didn’t pick the call up, I was overwhelmed and could not speak. I was already dressed in brown cargo pants and a plain white till-the-neck top, I actually looked very okay, so I immediately headed out of my room and straight out of the mansion, the car was already parked outside, and as usual, I hopped in after greeting the driver, it was the one from yesterday and he only smiled when I greeted him. I brought my phone out of my cargo pants pocket and saw texts from Lizzo, after I had told her all that had happened o
ZARAStanding in the parking lot, Xavier opened the door to his blue Mercedes, I took in a deep breath and sat inside, he immediately turned around and sat in as well. He didn’t waste any time in igniting the car and driving into the busy city of New York, I turned to stare at him for a second, and our eyes locked for a moment, I immediately looked away and brought my phone out of my pocket, I was feeling sleepy and I didn’t know what to say at the moment. He kept on driving and then suddenly paused in the middle of nowhere, he turned to me calmly and sat and took a deep breath, I knew I was in for a talk.“Why did you stop here? It looks dangerous.” I said, he rolled his eyes. “I’m the Rouge Lord, I’m dangerous!” He said, I shook my head at him and he chuckled. “Why do you let them treat you that way?” He asked, I decided to pretend as though I didn’t know what he was saying. “Who?” I asked, he shook his head.“Don’t play dumb with me, Zara!” He said firmly, my heart skipped a bea
ZARAAfter the all dabbing and rubbing, they were done. She was done with my hair, and my makeup, selecting my new dresses which I lost count of because of the amount she had brought out.“And this is the final touch!” Jazmine said, I turned to look at the couch where Maya was seating and she was already asleep. I couldn’t blame her, today is the longest day of my life. “Maya!” Jazmine yelled and Maya immediately sprouted up in shock, she then rolled her eyes and hissed when she saw that it was Jazmine who had yelled. “OH MY GOD!” She shouted when she laid her eyes on me, my heart skipped a beat.“I look horrible right?” I asked, she nodded no immediately and stood from where she was seating and walked over to me.“I’ve seen you in makeup before, but this is unbelievable.” She said I had to immediately turn around, and as soon as my eyes met the mirror, I screamed, even though I couldn’t recognize myself.“I look amazing!” I said with my palms over my mouth.“And I didn’t even do mu
3 YEARS LATER ONYX"You better stop running, I swear I'm going to get you." I was talking while sitting on the ground. I'm exrreamly tired of chasing this 2 years old. He just keeps running and giggling. "Mummy!" I heard Jax chuckle, he grabbed my arm and I picked him up."You think you are smart huh?" I asked and began to tickle him. He laughed as I walked downstairs with him, he was neatly dressed in a tux. "Onyx, you shouldn't be carrying Jax in this condition of yours, you are pregnant."My mum, Zarah said. Well, Luisxer and I had a proper human wedding after the crowing ceremony. We wanted to make it more special and presently we are in the human world. "Go to grandma!" I put Jax on the ground once I reached downstairs. He walked over to Mum Zara, she picked her grandson up lovingly. I then walked over to aunt Willow, "My love, you look very beautiful dressed in black." She complimented and I smiled. "So do you, Aunty." I said. Today we are all wearing black because we are g
OnyxIt’s been six months since I and Luisxer have decided to give our relationship a chance, I’ve been really happy being with him and today, we will be crowned king and queen, I felt very excited.My body was aching at the moment, I was very excited. Aunt Willow had already bought me a dress that I was going to wear to the official event, it was very beautiful and I was certain it would fit me well. "Luisxer will be so happy to see you in this dress." She said and I smiled. I couldn't also wait to see myself in the dress, Aunt Willow was refusing to let me take a look at myself in the mirror. My Mum Zara wasn’t around at the moment, she isn’t to be present now because she’d be crowning me later, I felt so excited. "Can I look at myself now?" I asked as soon as the lady who was doing the dress fitting sprayed perfume all over me, it made me cough a bit. "Yes! You can," Aunt Willow said cheerfully, she looked beautiful so I was certain I will also look good in the gown, I walked o
OnyxI and Luisxer have been going pretty well, he hasn’t spoken about loving me and I’m very glad about that, I was presently going through some files, the meeting was tomorrows and we have to present our project to Mr. Cameron, I really feel exhausted. Today it was raining heavily outside, Luisxer asleep on the other side of the beds while I sat and stared at health was all better and I sincerely am glad about that, I got up calmly and headed to the bathroom in other to wash my face, it felt very sticky, I washed it headed back out to find Luisxer seated in the room without a shirt. I walked out of the room in other to ignore him, I sat on the couch the minute I got out, I was chatting with Elijah and he had a surprise for me, he was going to get someone to bring me a gift to the hotel, I’m sincerely excited about it. I kept chatting with him until Luisxer walked in and sat next to me, he turned on the television and while pretending not to care about my presence there at the moment
Ashley "No Mr. Cameron, you have to understand that this is for our company." I said to Mr. Cameron who sat In front of us all. Okay, after all that happened between I and Luisxer, we've been a bit distance, I don't know what's wrong but I do understand that we both need time, I love Elijah and I simply can't just leave him because of Luisxer, whose feelings I'm not even sure about. Yeah, today we were having the meeting. "But this alliance will not benefit most of us." He said. It was getting hard to convince him not to take his share from our company."Mr. Cameron, I assure you, your workers are in good hands. We will try our outmost best to make sure that happens," Luisxer spoke boldly. His words made me feel a sort of serene run through my spine. It was bold and nice. "Okay, Mr. Luisxer I'll give you and your associate a chance to change my mind. please, don't let me down." He said and Luisxer nodded with a broad smile across his face."I promise, we won't." I said very softly
Onyx Well, I don’t like Madison but I really can’t do anything about it, I’m sure I’m going to see her around often because she’s Luisxer’s ex, how disgusting."Why are you frowning?" Luisxer asked, he had a mischievous grin on his face. We were actually walking up the stairs and heading to our room."Because I can." I snapped."Such a Drama Queen," he said. I hissed and he cackled. Suddenly, he almost fell on me. "Are you okay?" I asked."I'm just a bit dizzy." He confirmed. I immediately held his arm firmly and led him all the way upstairs. "Thanks, Onyx." He said."For what exactly?" I played dumb. "For helping an annoying ass like me" he said. I rolled my eyes."I'll let you drop to the floor soon." I cackled when I said that, he also smiled. We got to the front of the room and he slipped in the keycard in, we pushed the door open to see the room just like we had left it. I couldn't believe that I had let him sleep next to me yesterday, who knew I had that in me. Luisxer i
Onyx I was laying on my bed, I felt very tired, my body was very weak and I felt so bored right now, I turned to my side, I could see the Eiffel tower, the hotel was a luxury one so it was close to the Eiffel Tower. “Hahaha,” I heard someone laughing, it was definitely Luisxer, I got up slowly and tied a robe around myself, I made my way toward the door and walked out, I saw Luisxer seated and watching the television.“Luisxer,” I called out, I walked over to him and sat next to him, he looked so engrossed on the movie.“What are you watching?” I asked, he smiled. He patted a place for me to sit and I did.“It’s a romantic comedy, I decided to try something out since I was bored.” He said, I smiled. “I’ve watched this movie.” I said, he turned to me quizzically.“What’s the name of the movie?”I said, he shrugged, I saw a familiar scene and I was quick to remember what movie it was.“This is TITANIC, it’s a tragedy.” I said calmly, remembering all that had happened in the movie, it
OnyxWe had just arrived Paris, I had tried my very best to convince Elijah to let me go, he wasn’t happy but my work always comes first. We were presently on the road leading to the hotel Luisxer’s assistant had booked for us, I just hope she booked separate rooms because I need my space. We had just arrived at the Hotel, Luisxer was awake and going through his phone, I can tell he is addicted to his cellphone, what a weirdo, as soon as the car halted, I slapped his arm.“What was that for?” He asked, I actually didn’t know why I did that.“You’re such a bad traveler, you ignored me all through the ride.” I said, he actually chuckled.“I didn’t ignore you, you are just weird.” He said, I smiled. He was actually very funny when he spoke like that.“Whatever, let’s get down because I need to sleep.” I said, he rolled his eyes. As soon as the car parked in the parking lot, I was quick to hop out, I felt very tired and I needed to rest. Some men had come to help us carry our bags whil
Luisxer“I’m sorry I marked you forcefully, it wasn’t my intention and I never meant to do it.” I said, she stared deep into my eyes, not knowing what to say. “I know it wasn’t your intention, but you still marked me.” She said, I took in a deep breath.“I promise I don’t want to come between you and Elijah, you both are very amazing people and I really respect your relationship.” I said, she simply just stared at me without uttering a word. “Even with the mark, I don’t mind you being with him, I will find a way to cope with my health, I promise.” I said, she stared at me for a while before clearing her throat.“Your health is terrible, I can’t just let you suffer because of something you didn’t intend on doing.” She said, I felt touched by her words but I knew I deserved whatever sickness was to happen to me, she is a very nice person and I’m not. “I’m a Lycan King, I can fight it!” I said, she rolled her eyes. “Uhm, how can I make my relationship with Elijah work then?” She asked
OnyxWhile seated on the terace, away from everybody in the house, I felt my heart beat accelerate abnormally, I felt fear in my heart. I knew I have been very unfair to Luixer, he deserved to know what he had done, he deserved to know that I had his mark on my chest, and also, I know I can’t fact Elijah after all I’ve done, I’ve been very unfair to him and I know that we will never work out. I stood to my feet on the terace and snapped my finger, I teleported out of the castle and back into the human territory, I found myself siting at the back of Elijah’s huge garden. I immediately got up to my feet and wiped the tears that had formed on my face. I walked over to his front porch and knocked on the door, he was quick to open it and let me in. “Elijah,” I bursted into tears and hugged me tightly.“What’s wrong Onyx? Why are you crying!?” He asked, I hugged him tightly, he pulled me away from his hold calmly and tried to wipe my tears. “I need to tell you the truth.” I said and he no
