GREYSON’S POV.I opened my eyes and looked around my surroundings. This was my room, but I didn’t remember coming home myself, so how did I get here? I wondered. Drips were connected to me, and my head was banging hard as fuck as I tried to remember what the incident had been, that I was laying down in bed, receiving medical attention. I turned my head to look at the time and I saw that the time was 8 am. I sat up on my bed and attempted to move around, but I was still connected to the drip, so I couldn’t move around much. I saw my phone on the table so I reached out for it and picked It up. I opened it and dialed mom’s number. She picked on the first ring.”Greyson, are you awake?” She asked, her voice laced with Worry. “Yes, Mother. I’m awake. And I’m starving right now.” I said, chuckling a bit.”Okay hold on then. I’ll be in your room with the doctor and chicken soup in an hour, okay?” She said and ended the call without letting me confirm that I had indeed heard her voice. I dr
CALISTA’S POV.Morning came beautifully and there was this joy in my heart as I woke up. I couldn’t explain the peace that filled my heart, but I also knew that there was peace in the house too, no sweat. Mrs. Flora, Mr. Loup, and Their daughter, Bella, had gone to the hospital last night to get Bella stitches, so it meant I was back to doing the house chores. Not bad though, I’m used to doing them anyway. I entered into the bathroom and brushed my teeth, splashed cold water on my face, and got ready to do my today’s duties. I changed into baggy shorts and a baggy shirt, packed my hair in a messy bun, and went about doing the chores. I cleaned up the living room first and then headed for the dining room. I cleared out the dining table and entered into the Kitchen and began to wash the dishes. Thirty minutes later I was done with the dishes, so I decided I was going to prepare breakfast and wait for them to be back from the hospital. If Bella came home and she didn’t see food to eat
CALLISTA My heart medicine jumped up to my throat but then I swallowed it back down maintaining a blank expression when I turned the back to face him, my eyeballs shooting at him like icicles. "I don't think I've had the flattering, pleasure Alpha Grayson." There was no way he could have remembered me, that would spell doom for my family and I was sure that he had called me Bella that morning after taking the drug I had put in his drink so this must be some kind of mistake. He didn't say anything until his strides brought him to our table and he settled down comfortably like a bird perched on its nest. "Oh is that so? And yet you were able to recognize me with ease," This had to be some kind of twisted joke, on one side of my table was the man that was supposed to be my husband and then the other was the one who had taken away my innocence. I fiddled with the flower that had been placed on our table and the others in the diner as decoration. "What can I say I have a g
CALISTA POVBarely had I been able to complete that thought when suddenly Alpha Grayson pointed out that his phone was ringing and Leon immediately picked it up, excusing himself. As he was returning back he had the most apologetic expression that had ever seen on any man's face when he said; "I'm really sorry, there's been an emergency at the hospital and I'm needed there," I felt like a balloon that had been punctured by a needle and my chest visibly fell, however, I didn't allow the same to happen to my smile. "Well if it's an emergency and you are the only one skilled enough to deal with it then you should be going ahead we can have other dates it's no big deal," He smiled down at me. "I promise that I'll make this up to you…" He said, picking up my manicured hand and it seemed like he was going to plant a kiss on it when suddenly for the second time Alpha Grayson pointed out that his phone was ringing. He reflexively reached for his phone again letting go of my hand, howev
Before I even managed to take 2 steps into the house Bella was already waiting for me with her hands crossed and then I looked at her and that sinister smile that was on her face then greeted her from the corner of my mouth not eager to get into any unnecessary fight.But as I was walking past her she immediately took some steps back making me stand in front of her again and then I raised my eyebrows in boredom."Bella, do you mind giving me some space to pass?""Come on lighten up a little bit I just wanted to ask you about your date I'm sure that it was wonderful,"Immediately, flashes of that said date went across my mind and then it hit me again that it has been included with my date practically standing me up midway and leaving me with that annoying man.But of course, I was not going to be stupid enough to tell her that."Oh my gosh, he even bought you ice cream and flowers now this guy is a keeper…"As she was saying that she was reaching her hands down to touch them but I imme
GREYSON POVThe night of my engagement finally came and with the way everyone was being prepped for the occasion, I could see that my parents were not going to let it slide if I lost interest in this engagement, not like I had a lot, to begin with in the first place.But I just have to do this so that they will stop nagging me and maybe also when the absurd rumors that were flying around me stop.Also, the Walters adopted daughter would make an interesting it was fun to tease, I knew that much I'm just watching her assist my trump was far more entertaining than it was supposed to be to me besides all that I was already ready for the night properly dressed for the occasion and I could already see the girls falling for me the moment I will step into the party but I wasn't really interested in any of them I have loved once and that was more than enough for meSuddenly my chest tightened up and as I closed my ideal eyelids my vision was painted with blood and I quickly opened them up. No,
Callista's POVI scratched up my nose in irritation after being made that comment that I couldn't come along with the rest of the water family for the engagement party, it wasn't my fault that even when I dressed as simply as I could I would still much more beautiful than her who was overcrowded with makeup and looked like a clown's bride.Mrs. Walters gave me one nasty look before walking over to her husband and whispering something viciously in his ear, then after a while, he sighed tiredly then he told Bella and his wife to go ahead outside and inside the car that you would join them very soon and then when they were gone, he came towards me with the sympathetic look on his face."Look my dear I know that you have made a lot of sacrifices for this family and I truly appreciate you for them""It's really nothing," I assured him, Lenny went ahead to see what he had intentionally wanted to do at the start."You see if it was only left to me I would have allowed you to come with us to
GREYSON POVI thoroughly enjoyed the look of lamppost shock that slipped into her features the moment she heard my voice and turned around to face me and a smirk came over my face as I took in the look of her eyes sparking like two rocks that have been smashed together.She was so very very fun to tease.It was when Leon spoke up that I realized that her house was interlocked with his and the site made my stomach twist up a bit though I didn't know why."Leon, I am so glad that you could make it, considering your extremely busy schedule and everything," Leon instantly waved his hand and laughed, obviously not sensing the tense atmosphere that was thickening between me and the girl in his arms."I suppose this was your date from last time, Caroline was her name right?""Callista," she instantly corrected through gritted teeth."And as much as I would love to catch up she said with as much sarcasm as she can muster from the looks of it."... but I'm sure that you will probably be busy w
Epilogue Calista pov "Kids don't get so close to the water!" "Don't worry Mom, we aren't that close!" I eased my back into my reclining chair with a groan. "Gosh, they can be so stubborn at times... I wonder who they take it from," I said looking at my husband and he smiled back at me his eyes sparkling through his sunglasses. "Come on, sweetheart, you know they take it from the both of us." "Actually..." I was about to deny it and then just resigned to my fate trying to enjoy the sun at the beach, my eyes straight over to the beach as I saw my three children friends playing together and the sight alone was enough to make my heart immediately bubble-up with joy. When I was much younger I remembered Bella and her parents getting ready for the beach but I was never allowed to come with them on the rare occasion that I was actually allowed to come along. It was just to be their maid. I honestly thought that I would never have a family of my own. I sighed, this was going to mak
Calista povI was really planning to wait for the police but that was until I heard the cry of my children coming from inside the warehouse that I had traced Bella's phone to. Unable to hold myself back anymore I decided to enter inside of the warehouse through a back entrance. I had actually been familiar with this place before when I had first married my husband, however the business here had eventually collapsed and it was abandoned so I knew a secret entrance in the back way.The place was now so abandoned that trees were even going around it and it looked like a miniature wood, this proves to be in my advantage eventually because when I went to the back I was able to pick up a dead branch and then when I saw some thugs that wear circulating around the place probably as good as I was able to knock both of them cold with the branch that I had the second one proved to be a bit of a problem so I had to hit him a couple of times but when I checked out he was still breathing.My throat
Grey povAt my very last breath I told my brother to leave because I was not going to tolerate any of his nonsense anymore however instead of shutting up right there I'm turning around while he stroke his head what he just said to is something I could not bring out of my head he then said that there was no need for me to be in denial that Calista had never been satisfied by me and so she went over to see a real man that could do it.And that was indeed the last straw that broke the camel's back the next thing that happened was that I instantly zoomed over my office until I was standing right in front of him and before he could even blink his eyes I grabbed him and pulled it up squeeze his neck so tight that he could barely even breathe and he was kicking his legs about but I just kept on squeezing him my mind was telling me that if I just put in a little more effort his oxygen supply will be completely cut off and then he will just die.Revenge that had been driving me for what felt l
Grey's pov Even when I was keeping an expressionless face everything inside of me was telling me to brush this woman's head against the side of the wall but it's that I was somehow able to keep myself and I remembered everything that Calista had told me about how I was always losing my temper but this was a lot for a man to bare and when she finally said that the children beautiful twins that Calista were not actually mine. I was ready to squash her skull at this point then Calista came forward with her hands planted on her hips and then she asked Bella what was the source of that horrible accusation that was when she presented the contents of the envelope stating that it was a DNA result between me and the children and then she said that it was more than enough proof to show that I was not the father of them. I took the envelope and I looked at the contents then after I was done doing so I really began to shred the paper up as if it was nothing and so it this woman was nothing mo
Calista povThe fury that was coming out of him right now could be felt from a mile away and I thought that I was going to suffocate by just looking at him I have seen my husband angry before ulcer of many of the times does anger was directed at me but I had never seen him this furious this bloodthirsty and I knew that stiff look in his eyes he wasn't joking at all when he said that he was going to kill both his twin brother and Bella. But I just couldn't let that happen because nobody would even care about the crimes that have been committed behind the closed door if he killed them rather the only thing that will be advertised on was the murder that everyone was going to witness because I seriously doubt it when he said that he was going to murder them even if they were in a public place or not with the way his eyes were burning with fury which was exactly why I could not let him go.I tried to tell him that they were definitely going to get what's coming to them and then we began t
Calista pov The drive back to the palace was not as quiet as the one into my father's house because as soon as we were far enough from my father's house Gray asked me what my plan was after we had gotten all the information we needed on Bella, and she eventually got the punishment that she deserved.I was looking out the window screen at that moment when he asked the question trying to ignore him but I decided that if I didn't answer him he was just going to keep talking about it throughout the entire ride back to the palace so admitted to him that I was going to have a simple life with my kids and raise them alone he almost packed abruptly if it wasn't for observation that we were in a busy road then his eyes were over to me as he asked me what I meant by that. I looked at him straight in the eyes and told him that I meant every single word that I said and I seriously doubted that it needed any kind of explanation.His voice suddenly rose not in anger but it was definitely rising, h
Calista povI really miss to the days that I see my children all the time at least I didn't have to wait for literally weeks before I could look at them it could be a handful at times but when I didn't see them like this always feel anxious it was only the fact that they were under the care of their grandfather that made me able to sleep at night if not I would have been so troubled if they were actually in this Palace with Bella next door.After realizing that this woman was actually capable of poisoning her own son it would be no surprise to me at all if she attempted the same thing on my children and I was not going to let her get the chance to do something so horrible.While we were leaving the palace Grey said that we should take one of his less more conspicuous cars and that he was going to drive I really didn't care who drove as long as we got to see my children then when we8 approaching the car he went ahead of me and open the door to the front seat I just passed him by and we
Calista pov "I'm going to see my children today," I told Grey. He responded by his face contouring up with confusion though I don't understand what was so perplexing about what I just said. I had come to his room with the intention of taking his laundry to wash while I was actually there to tell him that I was going to see my children that very day. There was also another reason why I came here but this was one I was telling him about for now.He have been looking at me so expectantly the moment I walked in as if he was expecting me to jump right into the bed with him I could even see how he was intentionally closing on the way to attract me so I intentionally kept my eyes away from him but the time I was actually looking at him he seemed so frustrated but I was ignoring him."Don't you think it will be better if we visit the kids together?" He said suggestively and I mused on his idea then after a couple of seconds I shook my head negatively showing that I was not interested in tha
Calista pov The next day did not go exactly how as we planned it it was almost as if we have forgotten that the nanny was supposed to take care of the son because that was the worst timing possible the child fell sick, meaning that she was not allowed to leave his side for the entire day as he was not going to school so she would have to cater for his needs the whole day.The night before I had actually given her my number in the living room so that we will be able to communicate without meeting each other physically and avoiding the situation where I have to hide in the wardrobe from Bella she called me and it seemed as if she was about to burst into tears when she confessed that the child had suddenly fallen ill and she had to take care of him for the whole day.Just like that the time that I have been relying on since last night after she was shouted at by Bella but then I asked her to explain exactly what Bella did as usual she was a little hesitant but this time it was easier fo
