Chapter one hundred Atlas pov This time there was a lot of blood gushing out of his legs, I ran towards him and immediately he turned to his wolf, we were having a really fatal fight.“Stop it, stop it Altas", Heyley cried out.I could hear her cry from where I was but I couldn't back done I was going to show Liam that he messed with the wrong set for family, this time the house was burning and the fire was gradually moving slowly into the main building, I guess the remaining men that came with Liam realized their mistakes they helped Heyley, and the others put off the fire, however Liam and I continued fighting roughly, this time I had bitten him on his neck and he was bleeding profusely, he fell flat to the ground, the crowd who were focused on putting off the fire were now on us.The men ran towards Liam's bleeding wolf. He was losing a lot of blood and he was dying. At this point I started to regret my actions in every fight with him.“You want to kill him like you killed his ma
Chapter one hundred and oneHeyley's pov I walked through the forest majestically. I didn't want to run as I was. I was lost in my thoughts, when things seemed to be getting better for me and Atlas and then boom the worse things happened. I admired the trees and beautiful nature as I walked past the forest.No It was noon and I had gotten to Arnou's palace and I met him addressing the guards just right outside , his eyes met mine .“Heyley, it's been ages”, he said ."I know, how have you been doing?" I asked."We are all just here , the moon goddess has been protecting us and we bless her for that”, he replied."I'm happy for you, is Dianacia asleep, where is Bayta?”, I asked.Bayta usually runs to hug me whenever she hears my voice but this time it was quite strange. I have been outside here for quite a while and she hasn't come.“I think they are inside, they probably didn't hear your voice”, Anour replied.I went into the house, nothing had changed, I could only imagine the pea
Chapter one hundred and two Atlas pov I ran with the speed of light to Denise's room and she was jerking off with foam-like substance coming out of her mouth .“Run , quickly send word to the nurse, I can't afford to lose her", I said to the maid .She ran with her tiny legs and in no time she was out of sight, Janet and Anna came into the room when Denise was more relaxed .“What's happening to her again?Janet asked ." I don't know, I can't tell a lot has been happening to us all”, I said.The nurse came in no distant time,she was busy with Denise for quite a while, I wondered what she was doing." How is she doing?" I asked ." She is fine, I have been able to stabilize her", she said ." That's what you said the last time, Is she going to come out of this alive?”, I asked with anger written all over my face. “Yes, most definitely", she replied.“I'll take your word for it, however if she doesn't make it out alive I'll have you to blame and I'll have you arrested and thrown ins
The beginning that’s not the beginningThe day everything went to shit was no different from any other day. The hospital lights were glaring as bright as ever. My fingers felt raw from the hours they had spent in gloves and every inch of my body ached from the eight-hour shift I just finished.“So please get back to me on that,” I held my phone closer to my lips as I recorded a voice message to my husband. “Oh, and I got you a gift for tonight. I’ve had the most stressful day at work and I’m really looking forward to our date tonight,”I let the message send and smiled at the box of perfume I picked out for Gabriel.My phone beeped at that moment and I opened the message excitedly.My heart sank as my eyes zeroed in on the single response to my voice note.NO. Tears stung my eyes immediately and I shook my head.“What were you expecting? You’ve not had a date night in eight months. Why would you think tonight would be different?” My wolf Nafira, asked sarcastically.“Shut up. He’s j
THE WITCHI don’t have the best memory but I remember how my head banged from a raging headache. How my back ached from my eight-hour shift and most importantly the feeling of hopelessness as my sister-in-law broke the expensive laptop I bought her.“Amber!” I screamed in horror a spider-webbed crack already forming on the laptop screen. “Have you gone mad?! That was hundreds of dollars!”The words had barely left my lips when I received a hard slap across my face.I gasped, my hand gripping my stinging cheeks as tears tinged my eyes.“I need a laptop for college. How dare you buy me anything less than the latest edition?! You classless whore!”Anger roiled my stomach at her harsh words. Before she could process it, I returned the slap.Crack! Across her face.“I worked hard for that laptop!” I yelled, heaving in anger “If you want the latest edition, then go work and buy it yourself!”My heart hurt from how much Amber just wasted and now I would have to pick up extra shifts to get th
THE WITCH 3My head pounded, pain running through every inch of my body.I groaned softly.“Wake up!” My wolf hissed in irritation. “Now! Come on!”Wake up? My entire being hurt like a bitch and—-“Yes, the poor girl is in a coma,” My ears pricked as somebody began to speak from beside me.Which girl?! My daughter?!“I pray, she pulls through,” Another voice sighed.“With the injuries she sustained, she’ll need more than a prayer to save her. I already took samples. We just need to run some tests and—”My eyes flew open at once. “No!” I growled, my voice a mere rasp as I tried to sit up.I was in some sort of open hospital room, on a bed with two nurses standing over me. They both looked startled at me.“Miss, please lay back down, you’re not—” One of the nurses held my arm and tried to guide me back to the bed.“I’m fine!” I hissed at her and shrugged her hand off.In truth, I wasn’t fine but I would be in a few hours. My wolf would heal me.“Where’s the sample?” I demanded as I swun
The witch. I rubbed a hand across my tired red eyes and tried to focus on the documents before me. I had barely slept in the last four days since the accident and all the stress was finally catching up to me.A frown formed on my face as I peered intently at the document Danica handed me. “He was in rehab?” I raised my head to stare at Danica, my heart pounding wildly as all traces of sleep cleared from my eyes.“Yes,” Danica gave me a slow nod. “He had just been released and was on his way home to his family when he had the accident,”“Goddess save me,” The documents fell from my hand and I sank down into a chair opposite Danica..The hospital room seemed to spin about me at Danica’s revelation. Now it all made sense. Thomas. The man from the accident was an ex alcoholic. “Apparently, he went to rehab because he promised his wife he would change for their kids,”I shook my head, wishing Danica would stop but also knowing it was important I knew all the facts.“He did change. He w
The witch.I looked out the car window, the strawberry air freshener tickled my nose as I tried to recall every detail I knew about Atlas Grey.Business mogul and billionaire he was Gabriel’s nemesis with a reputation for ruthlessness in the business world.How on earth did he know about Batya and I?‘Maybe the TV? Your husband did make a very public interview about you and the daughter he was supposed to protect,” Nafira replied sarcastically.She was right, Gabriel put me in this situation. I glanced at Atlas from the side of my eye, my grip on Batya tightening as the car pulled to a stop in a driveway.“Where are we?” I asked softly as a man opened the car door for me and I stepped out.“My estate,” Atlas purred.Estate was right. Where we stood seemed to be a long driveway but the car had packed in front of a building that reminded me of the palace in its opulence. To our side, a water fountain rushed, and several Greek statues were splattered about, making the whole place beaut

Chapter ninety nine Atlas povI looked at Anna in disbelief, I wondered whether that could be the reason she had been acting up around Denise, I was so shocked by this new revelation.Ok“Anna, do you have the slightest idea of what you are talking about", I asked her with my eyes wide open .“Come off it Altas, I am not delusional, I know what I am talking about", she said with so much confidence.“How I'm I not sure you are making this up, we all know that your family has malicious intent towards this Denise girl and now that it is time to do right by her, you come out with this false accusations, why didn't say all these things before she was delivered of her baby", Elder Will asked.I knew it would be difficult for any of them to believe Anna, but I sure do believe her because Anna is one person who is always ready to state where one is wrong, she is a fearless woman, I looked at Elder Will skeptically as made these statements about Anna."Let's not jump into conclusion, I know t
[29/06/2024, 5:09:10 PM] Mumu Number One🥹🥰: Chapter ninety Eight Atlas pov I ran out of the room as fast as my legs could carry, I could never have imagined that Denise would try and take her own life. Was it the loss of the baby that was causing her unbearing attitude?Immediately I entered her room I saw her jerking on the bed .“What the hell, why would she do this to herself if someone calls the nurse” I yelled .The maid ran out hastily and just immediately Heyley came into the room.“Get Janet for me", I said to Heyley .Before she could even leave the room Janet and Anna were already in the room.“Was no one with her when she did this to herself"? Janet asked.“I don't think so," I replied.“ I really do not know why you all are bothering yourself with someone who doesn't want to live any more can't you all see that she is traumatized with the loss of her baby, she certainly deserves what karma is giving to her after all", Anna said sarcastically.“What Anna, I urge you t
Chapter ninety seven Heyley's pov I looked at Atlas my eyes bewildered, I couldn't seem to comprehend the news he just broke to me, “B… but you gave me your words, you told me that Denise's condition won't stop us from getting married, why the change of heart all of a sudden”? I asked ."It's not me, it's the elders who want me to marry Denise, but I declined, however they are threatening to take me down if I don't , I seriously do not know what to do now Hayley I need you now more than ever”, Atlas said as he squeezed my hands tightly."Make up your mind Atlas, I'm tired of this rigmarole, this minute you want this and the next minute you want that, I have feelings too so i don't expect you to play with them”, I said in a harsh tone ." I promise to fix it Heyley, it's you I want, … . I really, before he could finish talking the maid cut him off.“Sir, please Luna wants to see you”, she said as she bowed her head ." Luna, I scoffed .“You all should suit yourself", I said as I w
CHAPTER NINETY six Atlas pov I stood in complete shock as Denise fell down to the ground, I was unable to move my hands, they were all numb, I couldn't do anything to help her ,I watched as Janet ran towards Denise holding her in her arms "She is bleeding, we need to get help as quickly as possible, someone please call the midwife", Janet screamed at the top of her voice .The maid ran out quickly to fetch the midwife and she was back without wasting time .The midwife held Denise in her arm, and checked her pulse rate."She is still breathing, what happened to her?", She asked ."S…she fell through the stairs and she started bleeding", I stuttered as the words came out of mouth."You shouldn't have let her come down, she needs a lot of bedrest and moving from one place to another can only trigger bleeding, she is not strong enough to move", the midwife cautioned .I turned to Liam, anger and fire raged through me but I didn't know what to do"This is all your fault, so much fo
Chapter ninety five Atlas pov “That's not possible, how does the death of the baby affect Heyley and I and besides the earlier we get married, the earlier we can make more heirs' ', I said to him."This isn't about making more heirs, it's about doing what's right, paying homage to the dead”, he replied."Fine, it's just three months and we are out of there”. I said .I walked out on him and went to the room, I was really pissed, how am I expected to break this news to Heyley .One minute we are on the right track the next minute all our plans just fall off .Heyley noticed my worried face when I entered the room. “Is everything alright?” she asked“No, they do not want us to get married just yet because of the death of the baby", I replied.“What, that's not fair , how does our wedding affect the already buried child ?" She asked.“Same thing I asked, but apparently it is tradition , don't worry we'll be married in no time it's just three months", I said .She looked at me in disbe
Chapter ninety four Atlas pov .I woke up in Janet's arms, with water littered all over my face , I searched everywhere with my eyes and I found that the midwife was still here .“Tell me this is not true?", I asked.“I'm sorry, she said and left the house .I could see Liam sobbing from his corner. Heyley and Janet helped me stand and put me on the chair .“Karma is a bitch", Anna scoffed as she tried to stand .On hearing her statement I got really angry . “Anna, why would you say something so insensitive in such a critical situation", I yelled at her.“Forgive me brother, it must have been a slip of tongue", she said in a sarcastic tone .“Is this a joke to you, are all my affairs a joke to you Anna?, that you should talk this way at the loss of a child, you have always been insensitive from day one, you care about nobody but yourself, you want everyone to do your bidding but I'm sorry to disappoint you I am your elder brother and you will do my bidding not the other way round,
