“Scarlett, have you heard the news?" Taylor rushed towards where Scarlett sat.“What news are you talking about?” Scarlett responded as she opened her eyes and glanced at Taylor. “Aiden's dead!” Taylor exclaimed, her voice barely concealing her excitement.Startled, Scarlett sprang to her feet immediately. “I can’t believe it!” she gasped while her mind raced to her chest.“I know it's shocking but still, we should celebrate Scarlett. This is good news.” Taylor exclaimed excitedly as she pulled Scarlett closer for an embrace. Scarlett, however, couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss. No, Taylor, something's not right!" She objected, pulling away from the embrace. “We need to find out what's going on. This doesn't make sense!"Taylor's smile faltered as her excitement was replaced by a sense of unease. “Isn't this what we wanted? You weren't planning on abandoning our plan to destroy him, were you?" Taylor's voice grew tense while she clenched her fist in fury. “I sugg
“Please Cass, I need to see him right now.” Kiara cried out as she tried to make her way through but got held by the servants. “Let her go now,” Blake ordered from behind as he stepped inside. Cass knew it was all Blake's fault. He had never expected any of these to get Kiara so soon. The moment Blake gave his orders, the servants released their grip on Kiara immediately. “Please, hear me out Kiara, you don't understand any of these,” Cass uttered but Kiara ignored his words. Without hesitation, she rushed inside. In a flash, Kiara was at Aiden’s doorstep, her heart racing with fear and anticipation. Taking a deep breath, she flung the door open and rushed towards him.“Aiden!” she sobbed, tears blurring her vision as she dashed to his side.In a desperate attempt to confirm her worst fears, Kiara reached out and placed her hand on Aiden’s wrist, only to pull back in horror. “No, no, no,” she wept, her voice trembling with anguish. “Please, Aiden, please don't do this to me.”“I
“Scarlett, stop!” Blake interjected, pulling Taylor away. “Don’t make me lay a hand on you, you won’t like the outcome.” His voice was cold and resolute.Scarlett let out another sinister laugh, while her gaze turned deadly as she stared at Blake before turning her attention to Taylor. “You better tell him to back off, or I’ll end him right now,” she growled, her words carrying a dangerous edge.“Please, Scarlett, just calm down,” Taylor begged, grabbing Blake’s hands, but he jerked away in an instant.Taylor’s eyebrows furrowed in confusion and hurt as a tear rolled down her cheek. “Don’t you love me anymore, Blake?” she pleaded, her voice quivering with emotion. “Or is it because of that worthless hussy, Kiara’s supposed best friend?” she spat, her anger boiling over as she squeezed her fist tightly.Taylor inched closer to Blake, as her gaze pleaded for understanding. But when their eyes met, Blake averted his gaze away quickly. “I’m sorry, Taylor, but I can’t let Scarlett win thi
Kiara let out a loud groan, writhing in pain as the symbol on her forehead glowed red. The pain was becoming unbearable.Scarlett watched with a cruel smile, delighted at Kiara’s suffering. She was enjoying the sight of Kiara in agony, a feeling of dark satisfaction growing within her.Kiara couldn’t hold on anymore. Her eyes shone with a bright emerald light, and her body grew weaker. Blood oozed from her mouth, signaling the end was near.“That should be enough, Taylor,” Scarlett remarked, her voice dripping with malice. “Just end this bitch and let's move, “ she ordered. Outside, Aiden raced towards the building, his heart pounding in his chest. He knew time was running out, and he had to reach Kiara before it was too late.Just as Taylor was about to utter the final spell, the door burst open. With a reflexive turn, Taylor found herself in Aiden's grip, his hand clamped around her neck.“You should never mess with an Alpha’s mate,” Aiden growled, as his voice a chilled with thre
“I should have known, Kiara. I never thought you would come for me,” Aiden whispered, his voice heavy with guilt as he glanced at the floor. “I'm so sorry.” He uttered.As he lifted his gaze, he saw that her skin was pale, and her lips were dry and cracked. Despite her appearance, Aiden could still see the beauty and strength that had drawn him to her in the first place.As Aiden gently cupped Kiara’s bandaged cheek, his gaze softened with regret. Just then, Blake knocked softly on the door.“Alpha, are you there?” Blake called from the other side.”Come in,” Aiden replied, as he tried to inhale deeply to steady himself. The door creaked open immediately and Blake entered, bowing his head respectfully.“How is Cass?” Aiden inquired, his eyes fixed on Blake.“The doctor said the surgery was a success, but Cass is still unconscious,” Blake replied.Without a word, Aiden rose to his feet and strode out of the room, while Blake followed behind him.Once he got outside, his hands disappeare
Kiara rubbed her eyes gently with her palms as she looked up at the three figures next to her while her eyes were still burly. With a deep yawn, she tried to shut her eyes tightly, as soon as she opened them she got her sight back. “Mummy!.” Zane and Zion exclaimed as they rushed themselves up to Kiara for a warm embrace on the bed while Zoey stood behind. Confused, Kiara quickly sat up straight and turned to the other side, only to see another figure a bit closer to her. “Lisa, what are you guys doing here?.” She questioned. “Coming to see you, Kiara. I knew something bad would happen, so I booked a flight just in case. And here we have it, you're lying on the bed with bruises and bandages on your face. ” Lisa responded disappointingly. “Anyways, Aiden contracted me with your line so I had to get permission from Doctor Daniel and the kids' school,” Lisa uttered.Kiara let out a deep sigh and relaxed back in a pillow while Zayn and Zion sat next to her. “Mummy.” Kiara heard Zoey'
“You know you could have just let the female servants prepare breakfast.” Blake scoffed out as he turned his gaze towards Lisa while he sat at the dining table.Lisa turned her gaze up to him instantly and when their gaze met, she took her face away quickly, trying to avoid Blake's tempting eyes.“I prefer preparing it myself.”She uttered, her voice thick and hasty.Having Heard that, Blake rose himself up quickly and took one last sip of coffee from a teacup on the table and as he glanced at Lisa one more time, he felt she had been trying to avoid his gaze.Without a word, Blake began walking towards the exit but paused as soon as Lisa's voice echoed. “Where are you going?.” She questioned as her gaze was still fixed on Zoey.“How should that be a problem to you?” Blake asked as he turned to meet her gaze. Lisa stood firmly as she tried to recall why she had asked such a dumb question. “It's not, never mind.” Lisa finally spoke as she returned, feeding Zoey her breakfast. With a f
“That's not going to be possible Lisa,” Kiara uttered as she leaned backward, against the couch. “I vowed never to let him know about them or neither should they know about him!.” Kiara mentioned.Lisa adjusted closer to Kiara while her hands were still cupping Kiara's hands. “I know it wasn't really easy being a single mother of three for the past five years, Kiara. But still, I know how sorry Aiden feels right now and I'm sure he's really to make it up to you sincerely and fill in the spaces he abandoned years back.” Kiara lowered her head downwards and fixed her gaze on the floor instantly. “I don't think I should trust him, Lisa, you've never for once liked Aiden, so why the sudden change of heart?.” Kiara questioned as she glanced at Lisa.“Well nothing, I just think it's not his fault at all, so you really shouldn't hold any grudge on him because Scarlett was all at fault .” Lisa declared. “Besides, the kids are still little, which would make things very easy for them. They co
