The lovely breeze coming into the one-bedroom flat of Miriam and her sister was enormous. She was already shivering but not from the breeze, she was nervous because by seven pm dot! Christain was coming to pick her up.She kept wandering from one side of the apartment to the other while checking her watch. Soon there was a knock on the door, she adjusted her dress before going to open the door but to her surprise, her elder sister Eleanor was the one at the door."Miriam darling, why do you look disturbed?" Miriam's sister asked, dropping the basket she held on the tiny table. "Eleanor, Christian is coming to pick me up, I guess I am just nervous because his parents don't like me." Miriam said glaring at her sister. Eleanor placed a hand on her hair, Miriam guessed she was trying to arrange them.
Christian had just dropped Miriam back at home. She entered the house before admiring the ring clutched to her fingers. She just couldn't believe that Christain had asked her to marry him. Who would have thought he would make such an announcement at such an expensive gathering."When did you get back?" The voice of her sister Eleanor echoed, making Miriam turn to give her a huge grin. "You won't believe what happened at the party Eleanor," Miriam let out happily."What? Tell me," Eleanor said, taking a seat as Miriam sat down beside her.Miriam said nothing more as she put her hands forward displaying the expensive-looking ring. Eleanor slowly held onto her sister's hand before staring back at her in gloominess. "What happened? You don't peek happy,"
Miriam gazed through the window as Christain drove her back home. The car ride seemed too tight-lipped as Christain decided to break the silence. "I can't wait for the day that we would have our own niche to call our home," Christian muttered, his gaze fixed on the road, the instant he got no reply! He glanced at Miriam before staring back at the road."Miriam?" He called but she didn't bother to reply. He found a safe place somewhere before parking his car."What happened? Why have you stopped?" She asked."I didn't want you to feel insecure about Lara," Christain tried to explain but Miriam caught him short. "I don't feel insecure, I don't mind her at all," she replied. "Common, I can see that you are mad at me! Lara is my ex but you are my present and my future Miriam," Christian muttered, pulling her hands into his giant once, his little words made Miriam smile. "That's the smile I want to see on your face, I want to take you somewhere.". Christian mut
Christain and his friends sat at the empty bar they had booked for the night. He was glad that his friends were in full support of his relationship with Miriam, he felt happy having them around at times like this. "Thank you so much for doing this guys," He muttered as they all cheered before clicking their full bottle of beers together. "I can't believe that you are getting married Christain, the last time we met up was when you had your heart shattered by Lara. You threw a huge fit and made it clear that you weren't going to have anything to do with any woman," one of his friends let out, causing a burst of hysterical laughter to echo among others. "Don't tease the groom to be that way, he is now drunk in love," another teased, making everybody laugh. "I never imagined that I would be this happy guy. All my life, I have thought that my heart was meant for someone special, and just when I got tired of love! Miriam came int
Alpha Carlos Gonzalez, the Alpha of the Moon cross pack had been in New York and away from the werewolf world after his pack got burned down by enemies, the crisis had ended up killing many Lives but he had managed to survive and live in the human world with his mother. Carlos was a forty-year-old wolf who still looked handsome and nothing of his age, he had that sexy killer body and chiseled jaw that made him stand out perfectly. One could classify him in the range of his late thirties in the human world age. The handsome Carlos was the owner of three large and well-known companies in New York, he was a freaking billionaire that girls would die for a hundred times. Today he was clocking forty one and still had no care in the world but to focus on making more money. He was fixing on his suit to head to work when his phone began to beep. He picked his phone up before sliding the accept button."Happy birthday man, don't tell me you are going to sulk at work today also?" His friend
It was almost dawn and Christain hadn't had any sleep. He had been searching for his fiancee with the help of his father and bodyguards, his eyes had many eye bags in them but he only wanted to find his fiancee. They were presently searching the area close to the market where he had last spoken to her for the tenth time. "Miriam?""Miriam?" He yelled but got no reply.Christian couldn't help it as his eyes screeched as he burst out into cracks. "Son, are you okay?" His father asked putting a hand on his shoulders to calm him down but Christain chose that opportunity to bend his gaze down as his sob grew harder. "Take it, easy son. Nothing bad has happened to your fiance, she might have gone to a girl's night or something." His father said. "No, nooo father," Christian said, holding his hands in a fist. "I was on the phone with her when she began to scream for help but I did nothing, what would become of me If something bad happened to Miriam? Father, please help me find her, I wo
"Take back what you have just said." Christian let out furiously. "No! Miriam didn't deserve this," Eleanor wept. "I'm sorry but she was covered in bruises and right now she is in a critical condition, she had to get treated instantly to prevent her from getting an infection." Romeo let out."Shut your mouth asshole or I would do that for you. Miriam was never raped," Christian let out aggressively as he aimed to grab Romeo by his collar but his father and the guards were quick to hold him back. "Son, you have to stay calm. We are at the hospital and you are creating an unnecessary scene." His father let out before turning to apologize to the number of people gazing at them. "Father you heard what he said, Miriam didn't warrant any of this. I want to see her father," Christain let out disheartenedly. "I'm sorry but she is in a critical condition so you can't go in. We promise to keep investigating until we find the nicumpos that had done this to your fiance," Romeo made known. "Mir
"You should understand, son. That girl would only ruin our family and its business." His mother let out. She looked like she was thwarted by her son's tenacious behavior. "You have never for once liked Miriam for me and to think I'm beginning to think you may have had a hand in her incident makes a whole lot of sense mother." Christian let out. "I may not like her for you but I am not that heartless son." His mother let out. "Miriam is in the hospital after a bad experience and you expect me to just break up with her because of the family business?" Christian asked, still stunned at his mother's words. "I don't care if you support us any longer mother but I still love Miriam, she is still the one my heart yearned for." Christian let out before walking out of the house but bumped into Lara. "Christian_" she tried to say but he was quick to cut her short. "Not now Lara," he let out. "I'm not here to try to get you for myself Christain or pick a fight with you. I'm a woman and I u
Miriam had gotten home to notice her sister and friend watching the news. "You are here Miriam," Doris said the moment she noticed her friend. "Hey," Eleanor simply said."I'm glad that you are home because Carlos has just been arrested by the police!" She blurted out while Miriam gaze was fixed to the television. Miriam's heart skipped a beat as she turned her attention to the television. The news anchor's voice filled the room, reporting on the arrest of Carlos, a name she recognized so well. The screen displayed footage of a man being led away in handcuffs by police officers."I honestly had no idea that he would be handcuffed in front of everybody," Miriam said, a little bit guilty. Miriam's voice trembled as she spoke, the weight of the situation sinking in. "Well, I think that's good. That way, other criminals like him would know exactly what would happen to them when they do similar things." Doris said with no remorse.Miriam nodded slowly, her mind racing with a mix of e

Meanwhile, Gina and her son walked inside the company, they discussed. "I thought that you weren't joining the press conference?" Gina questioned while she held her expensive purse tightly. Carlos looked up at her with a serious expression. "I just thought that it was best I keep myself busy because it takes my mind off Miriam." He replied. "By the way, regarding your court case. You don't have to worry about it because I promise to do everything for the court to dismiss your case, okay?" Gina told her son. Carlos nodded, a mixture of gratitude and worry on his face. "Thanks, Mom. I appreciate your support, but I can't shake off the feeling that things might not go as smoothly as we hope. The evidence against me seems pretty strong."Gina sighed and placed a reassuring hand on Carlos's shoulder. "I understand your concerns, Carlos. But we have a good legal team working on your case, and I trust that they'll do everything they can to prove your innocence. We'll fight this together,
After leaving Miriam's apartment, Carlos couldn't go back home. He had driven to the bar to drink his pains away.Carlos sat in his car with his friend, parked outside the bar, feeling a mix of emotions after leaving Miriam's apartment. He had hoped for a different outcome, but the conversation he had with his son had left him with a heavy heart. Unable to face the solitude of his empty home, he sought solace in the familiar comfort of the bar.As he stepped out of the car, the cool night air enveloped him, causing him to shiver slightly. With a deep sigh, he walked towards the entrance with Jeffrey beside him, the dimly lit sign above casting a faint glow on the pavement. The sound of laughter and music seeped through the door, a stark contrast to the somberness that weighed on his mind.Pushing open the heavy wooden door, Carlos entered the bar and was immediately greeted by a wave of noise and the scent of alcohol. The room was filled with customers engaged in energetic conversa
It was late at night but Carlos didn't mind as he drove to Miriam's apartment with his friend Jeffery tagging along. The streets were quiet and the city lights cast a dim glow on the deserted sidewalks."Carlos, hey, it's late!" Jeffery said the moment they arrived in front of Miriam's apartment."Miriam might think you are here to kidnap Henry!" Jeffery added and Carlos would have chuckled at his statement if things were alright. "I just want to see Henry and not cause trouble!" Carlos said. He glanced at Jeffery, who was looking slightly worried."I understand your concern, Jeffery," Carlos replied, trying to reassure his friend. "But you know how much Henry means to me." Carlos added.Jeffery nodded reluctantly, understanding the depth of Carlos's feelings for his son. "I get it, man. We can do this tomorrow. Why don't we go home and come back!" Jeffrey said.Carlos hesitated for a moment, torn between his eagerness to see his son and Jeffery's valid concerns. He knew Jeffery was
“Doris, please take care of Henry while I’m away. Okay!” Miriam said, grabbing her bag to leave the house.“Sure, I would make sure that he gets his bath,” Doris said but their little discussion was interrupted when Eleanor walked inside followed by Christian and the lawyer. “Miriam, you have got a guest,” Eleanor informed her sister before she could leave. “Miriam, Carlos had done something through a high source of justice!” Christian voiced.“And what’s that?” Miriam asked.“Based on everything that the lawyer had gotten from the court, it says that Carlos has already admitted the incident to you and that you have forgiven him before you even got married!” Christian voiced out and that had left Miriam’s mouth to hang open. “But that’s not true, he merely even told me that he was the one who had violated me. Oh my Goodness!” Miriam said, rubbing her forehead. “That’s a great defense!” Christian voiced out.“Your ex-husband is such a liar,” Doris said, wiggling her head in shame.
Christian was presently in Doris’ house, he had engaged his men in creating a surprise for Miriam. Everywhere seemed decorated with balloons and expensive flowers. “Are you ready?” Christian asked his men. “Yes sir,” they both responded while wiping their hands with napkins.“Miriam would be here, are your hand's clean guys?” Christian asked them both.“Yes, of course, sir!” They responded yet again. “Okay good,” he said. “Oh wow,” The voice of Doris came the moment they walked towards the decorated area. “What is that?” Doris said all happy and cheerful.“I can’t believe this,” she kept saying while Miriam and her sister trudged from behind. “What have you gotten for us, oh wow!” Doris exclaimed in surprise. “Isn’t this too much for us, can I have some?” Doris asked, staring at the variety of food.“Sure!” The men answered. “What’s this for Christian?” Miriam questioned the moment they were both facing each other.“I heard that your marriage to Carlos has just been annulled,
Carlos was staring at the family portrait in his hands when one of the workers at his home approached him. “Mr. Carlos, someone is here...” she was going to say but the presence of Eleanor had caught her short. “Eleanor?” Carlos simply said. “I came here to talk to you Carlos because I love my sister and my nephew so much!” Eleanor said.“I have a favor to ask!” She said, “Do you know what, Carlos? Every time I look at Henry, I feel very bad to know that he is suffering, and I feel hurt as well when I see that my sister is hurting deep inside,” Eleanor uttered.“I honestly don't want her to hurt,” Carlos said.“Is that so? Then I think that you should probably give her what she wants, you should cooperate with Miriam so that the annulment of your marriage would become quicker!” Eleanor said,“But I don't want to lose my family!” Carlos said confidently. “We all know that the court would soon annul your marriage but that doesn't mean that you won't see my sister or Henry ever again
Carlos was at Doris’ residence and no matter how much he explained to Doris, she just wasn't accepting.“You are truly just persistent, I have told you countless times that Miriam isn't here!” Doris said.“But Doris, she had called me on the phone because she wanted to talk to me,” Carlos informed her.“I don't know what you are talking about but I think it would be better if you just leave now and leave my friend alone!” Doris told him harshly but Eleanor had approached them at that very moment. “Doris, I think that's enough. We both know that Miriam truly wants to talk to him!” Eleanor voiced.“You know what, you are the only one who is okay with what Miriam wants!” Doris said, she slowly rolled her eyes at Carlos before walking away.“Daddy?” the little boy called in happiness before running to engulf Carlos in a hug. “Daddy, is it true that you and mother would finally get to talk?” the little boy asked with a widened smile.“Yes, Henry but your mother is not home right now!” Ca
