“Walking away like a coward again? Just admit that you are losing and my offer is still open, just save us both from this stress,” He called out after me but I just kept walking away. He was right about me doing all the work and him getting the benefits but that won’t keep happening, I am going to make sure of it. I got into my car and drove towards my house instead of going back to the office. I wanted to speak with Arielyn first as I might not see her awake when I come back later. I walked into the house and met Raul in the living room. One other person that has been using Arielyn, I wonder how he would feel when she finally leaves, he is so attached to her already. “Raul, where is she?”I asked and he silently pointed upstairs, mudafucker was still giving me the cold shoulder, so I walked upstairs and knocked on her door. “Come in,” She yelled from inside and I opened the door. She was seated on the couch with her laptop in front of her, probably watching a movie. She closed he
Arielyn “What did you say?”I asked thinking I must have misheard him, why would he ask me to be his, and what has that got to do with me helping him? It makes no sense which is why I assumed I must have heard what he said wrongly. “You heard me the first time Ari, be mine,”He said again, this time I realized he was serious and my ears were not playing tricks on me but what I do not understand is why he was asking me to be his and how that will help him. “What has that got to do with me helping you? That’s what we are talking about right? Or did we drop it somewhere and started talking about something else,”I asked, confused. “I am asking you to be my mate and stay here with me, help me win this,”he went on but I still couldn’t figure out how that would help him. “Can you please explain? I mean I want to help but how is that going to help you?”I asked and waited for him to explain.“Your dad favors Jordan, I think he still wants you guys to end up together, I was the one that
“You really don’t have a name for your wolf?”I asked again and he shook his head.“Nope, he doesn’t, and I barely even acknowledge him,”He informed me and I couldn’t believe it. “Are you for real? My wolf is literally my best friend aside from Win-rose, we talk a lot and she has the best advice most of the time,”I said and Ae did a hurray, I didn't lie, Ae has the best advice except when she wants me to jump a male. “Good for you, mine is tamed and I am in charge, we are friends but not that close and he gives the worst advice,”He replied and made a face that made me believe his wolf said something sneaky, maybe because he had a human mom and was slightly different from the rest of us.“Not bad,”I said and went silent.“Yeah, time to seal our contract, mate,”He said and I looked at him for an explanation.“Huh? I thought the papers will be ready later,”“Yes, but there are other ways to seal an agreement,”He informed me. ‘’How?”I asked seconds before I got yanked into his a
Arielyn Kendrix dropped me off in front of Rose’s house before he and Raul left. I knocked on the gate and was let into the house. “Is Rose in her room?”I asked the help I saw when I walked into the main house and she nodded, I thanked her and continued to her room. I knocked and opened the door. Rose was talking to another of the help and she was so focused that she didn’t even notice me. “Baby? I am here,”I announced my presence and got her attention. “Barrie, just a moment please,”She said and continued talking to the maid, I waited patiently, the gist I had for her circling in my head. “You won’t believe what happened last night,”I said to Win-rose as soon as we were alone, we hugged each other, and she pulled me along with her to the sitting area in her room. As expected she was all ears and ready for the full gist and I told her the full details of what happened last night starting from when he asked me to be his to when he sealed our agreement with a soul-scattering ki
Arielyn“Yes, I am back, not back like you imagine though, I am here because I wanted to tell you something,”I said and sat down, looking around the office, I noticed something in passing and wiped my head back to see properly, there was a photo of me that I was sure had not been there the last time I came, it was from when I got my medical license. “Since when do you have my photo in your office Dad?”I couldn’t resist asking, he looked from me to the photo and back to me.OH, that, I had it framed because I liked it, you looked like your mother,”He commented. This was the first time my dad would mention my mom to me, he never did, when I was younger back when he used to stop by and see me on his rare visits, I would ask him for mummy and he would shush me each time. “Why are we suddenly talking about Mom? I thought she was a no mention in this house,” I let out. I tried to remind myself why I was here, I wasn’t here to pick a fight with him, so I did my best to keep my anger to
Kendrix I sat in my office looking through the proposer I heard in my hand but all I could think about was what happened with Arielyn last night and this morning, I had no plans to kiss her but it just sort of happened and I liked it, nothing that happened yesterday was planned, I never even thought of making her mine and the words just came out, even after laying out the benefits of the contract, I didn’t expect her to actually say yes but she did and now we are officially mates, I wanted to be the one to tell her father but she told me she would go by herself and make it clear to him, she was one smart woman so I trusted her. I looked over at the young man that sat at the extreme end of my office, he was busy on his phone and had his headset over his ears, I still couldn’t believe he talked to me earlier and asked to come with me to the office, it was a great development and now that Arielyn doesn’t have to leave, I know he would love it because he adores her, the look on his face
KendrixI am not done yet, don’t even think you have had the last laugh because I am going to get her back, watch your back, Kendrix, fucking watch your back,” He let out as he stormed to the door and yanked it open, he was out in seconds, slamming the door shot behind him. “Loser,” I let out. I wasn’t feeling like working anyway, so I dumped everything and went to look for Raul who I found alone in the corner at the end of the café, I walked to him and sat with him. “You are not eating anymore, why are you still here or you didn’t get food?” I asked him and he pulled off his headset. “I don’t know what to say to them, what if they find out who I am,”He said in a low voice that broke my heart, I should have known he wasn’t fully ready to face the outside world. “Raul, they won’t know unless you do something out of the ordinary and I know you won’t do that, more than half of the people here are humans and they are harmless,”I told him but he didn’t look convinced. “What do yo
Arielyn I couldn’t help giggling as I lay on my bed after I left Ken’s room, if I had not been careful, I would have stayed in his room but tonight, we both wanted different reasons to be together and my reason was dangerous, I couldn’t trust myself not to jump him when he slept so I ran away. Ken made me feel excited and I liked the feeling even though I knew what we shared was only on paper and not the real thing, it didn’t stop me from being excited about the things we would do together. What’s more, I couldn’t lie, I was happy that I won’t have to leave O-when again. I liked being in Dilgem but O-when was home and I couldn’t change that. The fact that I would not have to leave Rose and also Raul too, he has become one of my favorite people and I had been contemplating how best to break the news of my leaving to him and now I don’t have to do that anymore, the only downside in everything that happened today was that bastard Jordan going to Ken’s office because of me, he was out o
Arielyn “Oh my, Kenny,”I let out when he went on his knees in front of me, I hadn’t been expecting him to do that, we have been together for almost a year now and our love grew stronger every day so it was kind of expected but I thought he would do it towards the time he has to take over from his dad. The way he planned it all on his own, even did the decorations on his own, so spontaneous and so my Kenny. I couldn’t help the tears that escaped from my eyes just looking at him. Every new day, I fell in love with him a little more. Every day with him has been a blissful experience. “You had this all planned out and I didn’t even know?”I asked but it wasn’t even a question. More tears fell from my eyes as I walked slowly to him. “Yes, baby, I think I took a little too long to do this, the other night at your family’s cookout, I didn’t like that my sweetie was the only one without a wedding band, I had to correct that fast before someone thinks you are not taken and steal you away f
KendrixHer siblings and her father have done a good job so far trying to gain her trust and favor. We both stood there watching the women have fun, his other brothers and Jayden Win-rose’s husband joined us, because of Arielyn, I not only got the throne that I always wanted, but I also got friends and a family. I had better relationships with people now and even my mom confirmed that I was a better man now. I had my baby to thank, she came into my life and gave me everything I wanted and everything I never thought I needed and I wanted it to be forever. I wanted to make her my wife soon and the queen of my heart. Even though I wanted to ask her as soon as possible, I wanted something special for her so I went for a custom-made ring which had both of our initials engraved in it. I didn’t get the ones for the wedding as I wanted her to have a say in what we would get. It took about a week for the ring to be ready and delivered and while I waited for it to arrive, I made preparations f
Kendrix I watched Arielyn talk and laugh with some women who were at the cookout, some of whom were her brothers’ wives and their friends. We were at a cookout that her older brother was hosting at her family’s resort. I looked at their fingers and realized she was the only one not wearing a ring, I knew it was time to fix that. The past seven months have been nothing but blissful for me. Arielyn was and is the best thing that ever happened to me, I couldn’t stay away from her for long, I took her everywhere with me and she willingly followed me even though she sometimes had to work, I made sure our schedules never crashed to the extent of me going away without her, the only time I traveled without her had been hell so I ended up sending my jet to go get her. she talked about me being too obsessed with her and I accepted it whole-heartedly and told her I was making up for all the times we couldn’t be together because I had been blinded, if Veronica had not done what she did to me, I
Arielyn“You are lost in thoughts again, what are you thinking about?”Win asked, bringing me out of my thoughts, I smiled. “I am just thinking about how everything changed for me since I came back to O-when, I never thought my life would be like this when I parked my bags and got on the plane, all I wanted was to come for your wedding and also spend time with you,”I told her. “I know, right, I also didn’t think everything would turn out like this even though I was hoping you would find happiness, all I wanted was for you to get laid but you got more than that,”“You are the main reason all of this happened, this is why you are the love of my life, you bring good fortune to me,”I cheered. “If I am the love of your life, where does that leave your man? I am sure he won’t agree,”“He knows his place, and he is happy with it, he knows I love him and he also knows that I love you,”I answered and we both laughed, we had fun far into the night before we went to sleep. I woke up the ne
Arielyn Kendrix didn’t go back to his house that day, he called his mom who was indeed his darling, and told him he wouldn’t be home, he even got me to speak to her, and she told me that she had been waiting to meet me and Raul too since Kendrix told her about us and I told her we will move back to the house soon. Yes, I know I moved out recently and should probably stick to my home house until Kendrix and I get married but I didn’t know when that would be and I was already used to living with him. For my house not to go to waste, I found a family that was in need of accommodation and gave them the house for free. It was my little way of saying thank you to the universe for giving me a chance to be truly happy. The next couple of weeks went pretty fast for me, time tends to pass a lot faster when one is happy and yes. I was happy, the happiest I have ever been since I could tell what happiness was. For the first time in my life, I had my family by my side and I had the man I love wh
Arielyn Hearing Kendrix say the words love made me feel hot and anxious, I know he talked about working things out and wanting me to trust him again, I just didn’t think he would say the L words, didn’t even think he had that kind of feelings for me, I just thought he cared about me enough to not want someone else, that I was useful to him and his goal, but hearing him say the words I so much wanted to hear from him changed everything but then again, I couldn’t just blindly believe that he suddenly has feelings for me. as much as I love to hear him say he loves me; I didn’t want him to lie about it. “You don’t have to lie, Ken, I already agreed, we can work things out and build our relationship again, you don’t need to tell me you love me when you know that’s not true,”I told him, I didn’t want to be given any false hope. “Ari, I messed up, I understand that you can’t trust me right now but know, one thing, I am not lying to you, Ari, I love you, I really do, I don’t want to talk
Kendrix “No, you are special to me, Arielyn, and I am not lying, I only found out the day you left because I went to confront my brother and found them both together in an intimate position after she lied to me that he was trying to kill her. they set me up and I stupidly fell for it, Jordan called you that night to come and see because it was all part of their plans, Jordan wanted to get back at me for not giving up the throne for him and Veronica hated to see me happy,”I explained. “I don’t understand, what?”She asked. “Yeah, it is a long story,”“Let’s go over there, I am tired of standing,”She said, pointing to the terrace, I nodded and followed her, she took a seat and gestured for me to do the same which I did, I sat there just looking at her, missing her so much, wanting to hug her and be close to her instead of just sitting far from her. she wasn’t even looking at me. “Are you going to stare at me all day or you are going to explain the bizarre story you share?”She ask
Kendrix Arielyn wasn’t looking convinced by my explanation and I was slowly losing hope that she would ever look past what had happened and come back to me, everything I was saying sounded different to her, plan B? That has never crossed my mind. I couldn’t give up, I desperately wanted her to come back to me, the past week hadn’t been nice at all, I couldn’t focus on anything, nothing else mattered, not even when my father made the official announcement, I was just there standing beside him being announced as the heir but I wasn’t there, all I could think about was how to get Arielyn back, I couldn’t even remember what I had said on that day because I hadn’t been focus while speaking, I left the palace immediately I was no longer needed. I couldn’t escape for long because my father called me back, I had to meet a lot of important people and be introduced to them. The whole reason I finally found out where she lives was because I went to see her dad, he didn’t let me in at first but
Arielyn “Arielyn, please come back home,”I couldn’t believe his audacity, how could he show up at my house uninvited and expect me to follow him? “Get out of my house, I don’t want to see you near me, I am not going back with you anywhere, I already told you that day, that I am done with whatever contract we had, there is nothing in it for me so why should I still keep living with you?”I fired at him, I wanted to add; “Especially when you have another woman in your house,” But I didn’t say it. “I am not here because of the contract, it doesn’t matter anyway,”“That’s good then, move your car away from my gate, I need to get into my house,”I warned him as I backed away and opened my car door to get it, he was faster than me because he stopped me from getting into my car, our bodies touched and I had to fight the stupid feeling that built up inside me at the contact. “Why are you harassing me? Do you want me to call the cops on you?”I let out. “I am sorry but I can’t let you le
