Natalie's POVStepping out of the room, I made my way back to the living room then the dinning, where I saw the family already seated and eating. There were three other people I met there that made me wonder who they were. A small boy of around three to four years old, a guy who never raised his head even when he knew someone had joined the table, and a lady, around my age or so. They didn't respond to me and only continued eating. I wondered if they were angry that I had come in late, so I said,“Sorry, I'm late. I was having my bath,” They all simultaneously snapped their heads to look at me, while I narrowed my eyes. What did I do wrong? My husband, Leo, was staring at me intensely before he returned back to his food. Everyone followed suit without accepting my apology. “Weird,” Angel acknowledged, and I nodded because I couldn't agree less. I cannot seem to understand this family. Who were the three other people? In fact, I need to know everyone, one after the other. I mean,
Natalie's POV“Congratulations Luna, you're two months pregnant,” the doctor said to me with a beautiful smile on her face. “Wow, two months?” I asked in surprise. I didn't feel anything, I didn't notice any change either. “Yes, two months. I am very sure the Alpha and his son, your husband, would be so pleased to hear this great news” My smile immediately went down as I thought of the possibility of those two finding out that I was carrying a child.“Can you not make this public just yet?” I asked the woman, who moved her eyes sharply from whatever she was writing to stare at me. I swallowed as I waited for her to speak, “Why?”“Well, I'd like to know the gender of the child first. So I'll let you know afterward” I replied. That was certainly not the reason, but it was better to say this than tell her what exactly the reason was. She thought about it for a while, looking at me, while I continued to look at her with a forced smile. I don't want any single person to know about th
Natalie's POV“I do not understand what you are saying,” I said to the person over the phone as I rushed out of the house and went straight to my father's house. I had cried my eyes out even before I got to where my father lay lifeless. “No, no, no,” I kept murmuring when I saw my father shot in the head with his eyes wide open. I didn't want to believe it, it just had to be a dream. This cannot be real, cold sweat broke out as I stared at the lifeless body in front of me. The same person I saw and laughed with yesterday. My chest was heaving up and down, heavily, as I slowly made my way to the body on the ground.“No,” I muttered as I fell down on my knees beside my father. Tears rolled down my eyes, and I bit my lower lip till it bled. Using my shaky hand, I closed his eyes. My hands reached for his cold one, and I looked up and screamed. “No!” “This can't be happening to me! No” I cried.My father is the only family and friend I had left, he was the only reason I was trying to
Leo's POV “Sir Leo, we are looking forward to—” Alpha Marcus' speech was interrupted by the angry shout of goddess knows who. The person pushed the door so hard it left a huge crack we all could see. One more hit and that glass door was gone.“Marcus and Jasper!” She yelled. What audacity! I immediately snapped my eyes from the door to the angry lady who had just stepped in. The first thing I noticed was how wet she was. She had been drenched in the rain. Her hair stuck to her face, her black top and black trousers stuck to her skin as well, she didn't seem to mind that. Her hands were clenched on both sides of her. Her beautiful eyes filled with anger… and… pain? Stared sharply at the alpha and his son, not even sparing me a look, and shot daggers at the two before her. “Are you mad?” The son of the Alpha asked, and her small pink lips opened up even before the boy was done spitting out, “You and your fucking father, here, are the ones that are mad!” My brows raised, what con
Natalie's POVThose bastards dragged me to my room and locked me in there. I fell to the ground as I broke down in fresh tears again. If I get the chance, I wouldn't bother speaking to those bastards, I'll kill him. I'll shoot them severally all over their body like they killed my father.I knew they would come for me immediately when they were done with their visitors, so I quickly stood up and ran towards the door. I pulled it so many times, but it was locked from inside. I hit and slammed the door with my shoulder, but nothing worked as I whined in pain. After several attempts, I gave up. I looked towards the window and rushed to check how high it was. It was indeed high, but there is always a way out. I rushed to my wardrobe and began to tie my clothes together at each edge. Suddenly, I heard the sounds of footsteps and yelling from Jasper and his father. “It's over for you, you bitch!” Jasper cussed. I swallowed and tried to hurry up before he opened the door. I wasn't scared
Natalie's POVAs if drowning in water, I sucked in breaths as I forced my eyes to open. My breathing is heavy, my heartbeat, loud and fast. My eyes remained unfocused, the room I lay in made me wonder if I was with the moon goddess because everything in that room was white. Down to the bedsheet and the clothes that I am wearing. I looked down at myself and flashes of my last memory hit me hard. I closed my eyes, only to open them again with a snap. I remembered, I remembered what happened before I finally closed my eyes. I jumped up from the bed, shaking some things that were fixed on my hands. It hurt, but I didn't care as I looked at my hands and body if I was burnt. There was nothing, no burnt, no wounds, I was only pale. My hands quickly found their way to my flat tummy and the door immediately opened at the same minute.“You're awake” I heard the doctor who had just stepped him smile sweetly at me. I looked from him to myself, my hands, my legs, my body, was I saved? Who saved
Natalie's POVI sat in the back of the car along with the handsome man everyone called my husband. I tried to force my eyes not to move to stare at him. His handsome face always causes me to forget what I was doing but stare at him. I decided to distract myself by looking out the window of the car. The roads were different, it was like I was in a different part of the earth. What is going on?How did I even survive that? And what happened to my baby? I wasn't opportune to ask about my baby. Why is Leo my husband instead of Jasper?Questions filled my thoughts, I wondered what was going on. The so-called husband wasn't even giving me any attention. He has been on call since we stepped into the car. It was from one call to another. They kept saying stuff relating to business that I did not understand.Soon, the car drove into a large compound that caused my mouth to drop. The compound was so big that my eyes couldn't help but grow wide in awe. “Wow” I exclaimed, my mouth dropped wide
