Adonis POV “If I didn’t know any better, I would think you weren’t happy to see me,” she pouted her lower lip, making her look like a baby doll.She wielded her feminine power as fiercely as she wielded her beauty. If it were any other man, they would be crawling at her feet and begging for crumbs of her attention.But not me, how beautiful she was made no difference to me, I wanted to rip her head off of her body. Since Vico wanted her too, I would send him her head and whatever remained of her body. But I needed her. I needed her to love me and to desperately want to save me, that is the only way to activate her blood.I managed a small smile. “I thought you loathed the idea of marrying me.”She placed the glass down, and strolled, all so sensually, towards me. “I had time to think. And we need each other,” she brushed her slender finger on my cheeks and I recoiled at how familiar her touch was. It should be familiar. We had a one night stand and she robbed me of the only thing k
Nena’s POV I whipped around to give Fang one last glance. His handsome face was twisted in a frown. I did not expect him to understand, he lived his entire life devoid of human attachment. So he could not possibly understand what it meant to lose a mate. Even though Ezra was not my true mate, our bond was stronger that most true mates bond. Ezra loved me and he made sure to remind me of that every day. And by the goddess, did I love him more than life. And that is why I will not think twice to 'throw' my life away if it meant fighting against the very people that took my Ezra from me. The same set of people that had attacked years ago and took the only family I had left, after both my parents died in an accident, my Nana. I will destroy every single half breed and crush their precious Whitlock group, even if it was the last thing I do. I turned to work away, but Fang grabbed my hand, the same way he had held me three years ago. But this was a different situation. This time
Vee’s POVI wanted to leave her there.If Vera willingly went with Jumbo, after everything I had told her about Adonis and his cult, after we made a plan to run away and never come back, if after all these, Vera decided to impersonate me and leave with jumbo, then there was absolutely no need for me to run after her. She made her choice and there’s absolutely no need for me to rescue her. She was a grown woman, capable of making her own decisions and living with the consequences. Then again, there was also a small chance that Jumbo saw her, assumed she was me and abducted her, since his orders were to bring me back yesterday. If there was even a small chance that she was taken against her will, then I had to go back for my sister. I promised my mother that I would always look out for Vera and that was exactly what I was going to do. I sighed as the taxi pulled to a stop in front of the road blockade. The driver glanced at me through the rear mirror.“Are you sure this is your de
Vera’s POV“Ahaa,” I sighed in delight, as I laid on the large bed with my arms and legs spread out.This was the life. I had this huge room to myself and servants tending to my every needs, bringing me sumptuous three course meals for breakfast, dinner and lunch. I even had a wardrobe filled with designer clothes.This certainly was the life!My sister was the modest one. She was too comfortable with being poor and struggling. She had all these and she decided to give it all up, to run away to another state and start struggling all over again. All because she thinks this to be a cultI just can’t do that. Not anymore. Not when I could have all this to myself. ! I don’t care if this was the illuminati as long I get to live a good, comfortable life, I was fine with it!Sure, Vee would be mad at me when she finds out what I had done, but she will come around eventually. Even if she doesn’t it would still be fine. My eyes flickered shut as I inhaled, filling my lungs with the mild sce
Vera’s POVThe doctor was quite cute for an older man, with deep blue eyes, salt and pepper dark hair, and glasses - which he kept adjusting on the bridge of his nose – hid his kind eyes. He was the only one who didn’t glare at me, he had just flashed a polite smile and offered me a seat.I could not help but wonder what Vee had done to make almost everyone hate her. It was as though everyone here was out to get me, from the house helps, the guards and nurses, to ordinary passersby. I perched at the edge of the bed, swinging my legs nervously. The doctor had gone to get the test results. It’s already been an hour and he still hasn’t returned. My nerves were killing me on the inside. Those reports is sure to expose my lies and prove that I was in fact the wrong sister. There wasn’t even a scar on my shoulder, much less one resembling a gunshot wound. I was certainly fucked.Who knows what Adonis would do to me if the truth was revealed. I can’t even run away, there were way too many
Vee’s POV Just staring at Vera, filled me with rage. We could have been in a new state by now, far away from all this shit. Even further away from Adonis. And because of her not only am I still in this godforsaken town, I am at Adonis’s mansion. Yet again. And there she was, humming and strolling around in a bath robe like she owned the place. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaàaaaaaaaaaàa “We had a fucking plan Vera!” I shrieked through clenched teeth. “What are you doing here?” she scurried to the door and turned the lock. I scoffed in disbelief. She wasn’t even slightly remorseful. “I came to rescue you from your own stupidity!” “Lower your voice Vee, someone could hear you,” she sighed, folding her hands over her chest, “I don’t need rescuing. I like it here.” I scoffed. Why aren’t I surprised by Vera’s stupidity? I have always had to save her from shitty situations she always managed to put herself in. I don’t even know why I bothered coming here. “You do realize th
Adonis’s POV Seeing Vee naked took me by surprise. I wanted to pick up, press her against the wall with her slender legs wrapped around my waist and have her like a deranged wolf. She was beautiful, with long sculpted legs, perky mold of breasts that would fit perfectly in my large hands and the burning desire in her fierce green eyes that only made me want her even more. It took every ounce of resistance I had in me to steel myself and not give into Nate’s fight for control. Fuck a charade wedding, Nate wanted to mark her there. The sweet scent of her arousal was driving Nate out of control, making it even more difficult to keep him under control. I may hate the half breed, but the last thing I want is for her to be ripped apart by Nate. She would not be able to handle him. And just when I was able to reign in my outrageous desires, she kissed me. This was the first time, since she returned from saving her sister, that I felt the mate bond – raw, with twice the magnetic fo
Vee’s POVWhy was I feeling lightheaded all of a sudden?My head was heavy, like a load had been place on it, while my heart drummed in my ears and I was out of breathe like I had just finished a race.I took deep, steadying breathes to calm my racing heart. Why was I feeling like this again? I had only felt like this once, on the night my mother died. I had been so sure I was dying, as I struggled to catch my breath, holding onto my mother’s weak hand like my life depended on it. But I didn’t die. My mother had placed her other hand on mine and whispered ‘I will see you soon Ura’, with a sad smile.I hadn’t read much meaning into it, mostly because she had been mumbling a lot of things that didn’t make sense during her last weeks, like how some powerful forces were trying to kill her and how she needed to ‘hide me from the world’. According to doctor, the more the tumor grew, the more delusional and forgetful she would became. Eventually she began to forget. Several times I went to
Vee’s POV Vera clutched her cheek, her eyes twinkling with unshed tears, while laughing frantically. “Go ahead hit me some more, it doesn’t change the fact that you are a fricking snake!” I felt sorry for hitting her but even more, I felt sorry for myself, for always running head first into whatever trouble Vera gets herself into just to save her. I have been beaten and mocked for Vera's sake, I have even being kidnapped and almost killed for Vera and this is what she thinks of me. A hypocrite trying to present myself as the good sister and for what? There was no use arguing with Vera, she could stay here and die for all I care. I don’t care anymore. “All I have ever done is take care of you and all you have ever done is…” “Save it for someone who cares,” she spat, her hand falling to her side. “Don’t play this oppressed sister card with me. I have watched you play that card with mum for years. To mum I was the bad child. The poisoned apple.” “She never said that!” “But she tho
