KAYAI wanted to go after them but I couldn't.I just knew that I couldn't. Nora went after him though and I just stayed there so going what the hell I was going to do.Why would I make chocolate cake when I knew he was allergic to it?I kept thinking back to that day and wondering if I truly told Belle about it and I was sure I did. I would never try to put his life at risk.Tears rolled down my eyes and I wondered if he was going to be okay. I left the room and went to the kitchen, to look for Belle so she would tell me why in the world she would make a mistake like this when I'd told her not to.I didn't find her so I asked one of the maids.“Belle? She resigned this morning.”“Resigned? What do you mean by " resigned?"Of course, I knew what resigned meant but right now, my brain wasn't comprehending anything.“I mean, she quit.”“Wait, but why? I mean, I just saw her this morning."She shrugged.“I don't know. But I knew she was in a hurry. She didn't even finish clearing out her
KAYA“Why would this happen, Nora? I mean, I didn't mean for it to happen. I would never put him in danger on purpose.”“It’s okay. I know. I know."“Then why?” I swiped the tear away from entering my mouth ”Why would this happen? I told the maids not to make it a chocolate cake but she didn't listen. I swear I told her."She used her sleeve to clean the tears away from my face.“I know, Kay. I've told him that myself. Trust me, I know you will never do that on purpose. And I tried to tell him that but right now, I don't think he would listen to what I have to say.”“Is what he said true? Will Milo never truly speak again?”She looked at me without answering and I knew the answer already.There was nothing I was going to say at this time that would make Adrian listen to me. It was obvious that he was very angry and he wasn't going to heed to anything that any one said.He said I had an hour so I stood up and cleaned my face, putting the last of the decorations into the bag.“Where are
KAYASo maybe I'd made a mistake.Quinn was right. These woods were scary. Very scary and I couldn't even walk without looking over my shoulder to check for what was behind me.I should have just waited for a new day before leaving but I decided to leave when the day was almost over and that was the worst.Naturally, I was afraid of the dark and now to make matters worse, I had to walk in these woods by myself.“Do you wish you had listened to her now?”I sighed in relief when I heard Lia's voice.“Took you long enough to come. I was beginning to lose it out here.”She laughed.“You’re supposed to be the special wolf. How can you be scared of darkness?"I shrugged.“I don't know. I'm just glad you're here. The least I need right now is company. Just be here and help me.”“Do you even know where you're going? You have no one other than him."I knew that but I didn't want to think about it. I hated the fact that I had nowhere to go.“You should have just let Quinn help you.”I wanted to
KAYAFive of them stood tall in the darkness, their full length gowns blowing in the wind.I couldn't see their faces but their silhouettes were very outlined by the moon high in the sky.“W-who are you? Are you them? My father's cult?”I heard a laugh.“No, we are not that useless band of vipers. You said you didn't mind staying with witches as long as they were not “weird”, whatever that means. I don't think we are “weird” but we are witches.”What? I didn't mean that. I didn't mean I wanted to stay with witches. I was only joking. Why was my life always like this?So this was what Lia meant when she said I shouldn't be scared.If she could send these people to me, why couldn't she lead me back to Adrian's pack.Gosh, I hated myself.“So are we going to go or we're going to stand here all night.. it's going to rain very soon..”“Shall we?"That question was thrown at me. At this point,. I didn't have a choice. If I stayed out here, that meant i was fine with getting wet and not eati
ADRIANI woke up very early the next day and got ready. I needed to see Milo today at the hospital.Without even thinking about breakfast, I ran out of the house and got into my car, driving straight for the hospital.He had never had a surgery before and I wanted to ask the doctor how soon his throat could heal because I didn't want to believe that my son would never speak again.They'd told me that some years ago and he had proved them wrong by speaking to me that nightmare so this time around, I knew he was going to prove them wrong again and he was going to speak.I just didn't know when.I didn't know his room number so I stopped at the reception to ask.“Good morning, Alpha. What may I help you with?”“My son's room number. Tell me where he is.”She looked through a computer and raised her head up.“He’s in the children's section. Two floors up, room 32B.”I made my way upstairs, holding his toy train in my hand and also a picture of his mother. As much as I wanted to hate her,
KAYAWhen I woke up, the sun's rays were pouring into the window and directly into my eyes.It was so hot and I was so damn sure that the rain that had made me come with these women didn't end up falling.I sat up on the bed and thought about my life for a moment before getting up to use the bathroomIt took me a moment to realize that I had been waiting for Milo to run into the room.As I took my shower, I wondered what they wanted to speak to me about. They said they weren't weird but that was what they always said before they stuffed you in a lot and cooked while singing the song about the cauldron.I'd read too many books as a child and it was messing with my head.Since I had let my imagination run wild last night and ended up ruining my own appetite, my stomach was already rumbling by the time I came out of the bathroom.I put on my clothes and made my way out, not exactly knowing where I was going. Since it was day, I could see things clearly now..It didn't seem as scary as i
THIRD PERSON POVThey had agreed to meet up outside the house.She couldn't let them be seen together after what had happened. Even worse, she couldn't let her come to the house after what had happened.To her, it was a mission that had been successful and she was so happy with the outcome..For the first time, she had won over Kaya and she couldn't be happier. She knew that that plan of hers was a genius one because it would sure get them what they wanted.She had made Belle tell the baker to add a lot of chocolate chip, chocolate essence, flavoring and a very thin layer of chocolate with bits in it. She wanted to make sure that Milo didn't survive it.Yes, her plan had been to kill him. She wanted to make sure that Adrian hated Kaya so much that he would want her dead.Emma was already there waiting for her when she got there. As soon as she gave Kaya the cake, she packed up her bags and dropped a resignation letter on the kitchen table and ran out through the back door.She knew th
ADRIANThe doctor finally let me take Milo home the week after. It was beginning to seem like he didn't want me to take him home at all.He kept telling me to come back and finally, I was able to take him home today.He said his throat would take a couple of months to heal which was fine. I knew the extent to which the injury had gone.I was just happy that he was finally coming home today.He however, wasn't happy. I tried to get him to speak to me but he had refused to.When I entered his room this morning, he didn't speak to me and he didn't smile either. So I knew something was wrong, I just didn't know what.I tried speaking to him in the car but he still didn't budge.So I gave it to you and decided to leave it till we got home. There, I would have a better chance of speaking to him.Eventually, we did get home and he got down from the car . I offered to help him get down but he didn't even look at me and he got down himself.Nora came out and he gave her a hug and let her carry
KAYA“Its nothing, My Queen. I couldn't sleep either ways so this just gives me something to do.” “Perfect..I just have a question to ask you. I've been doing some digging recently and I've found out a few things. Also, a few things have happened.” She seemed comfortable, straight like she had nothing to hide. Or maybe she was just good at doing so. “We finally found Lucy's phone and according to the records, it shows you called her the day she was killed. Did you forget to mention that or did you intentionally leave that out?” Her strong gaze faltered and for the first time since tonight, she looked at the walls. “It seems I forgot to mention it.” “Sandy, I'm sure you know that whether you tell me or not, I will find it out myself. With or without your help. I just called you here as a formality or would you rather I began to see you as a suspect?” “No! Don't do that..I have nothing to hide. I would never do anything to harm Mrs Lucy.”Then I guess we were on the same track.
KAYAI slowly got up from the bed because Lana was so unpredictable. Sometimes, she was a light sleeper and other times, even an atomic bomb wouldn't wake her up. This time around, she was the latter. I slowly backed away from her until I was out the door. “Why are you sneaking out of her room?” “Jesus Christ! Milo!” I had to hold my chest so that my heart won't fall out. He didn't seem fazed that he had just scared the crown off me. I opened the door again to check on Lana to make sure that she was still asleep. “Why’re you sneaking out of her room though?” This kid would be the end of me. “Maybe you wouldn't have seen me here if you were in your room sleeping. I'm the adult here. What are you doing here?”I pulled him along with me. “I always check on Lana every night before I go to bed. I just got back from the Twins’ rooms.”He does that? I never noticed. “Are you asleep yet?” He looked at me like I should know the answer to that. “Pretending to be. I told them to do t
KAYA“That's her secretary. Why would Sandy fail to mention that she called Lucy on the day she died?” Or did she have something to hide too? Nora chimed in. “I don't think she forgot. Sandy remembers details. I think she intentionally left that part out.”But if it didn't mean anything, why would she leave that part out? “Is there any record of the conversation?” He turned the laptop screen to me. “I couldn't find anything. It's like she called and ended the call immediately. It was barely a second.” Was that intentional or was it a mistake? “What time did her call come in?” He turned the screen back to himself. “Eleven thirty.” I was trying to create a timeline but the evidence wasn't enough. “I think I need to speak to her again. Nora, can you get her on the phone for me? Don't alert her about anything. Just tell her that we urgently need her for something and that we will send a guard to pick her up.” It was actually quite late and I didn't know if the commissioner w
KAYA“For now, we just need to focus on finding hard evidence that truly puts her there or else, our theory is out the window.” Nora stood at the board, spending a long time staring at it. I sat down behind her and thought too.Milo brought in Lana and I just put her on the floor to do her own thing. She didn't seem to care that I didn't have her time. “Oh yeah mum, there's a man here to see you. I don't know what his name is.” Must be Tobias. “Can you bring him here? Thanks baby.” How did the detective find the phone so quickly? I thought they claimed that they couldn't find it at the crime scene. How come it turned just a while after I had asked him.to look for it? That meant that if he wanted to look for it, he would have easily found it. The door opened and Milo came back with Tobias and some of the other men I'd seen earlier today at the fire scene. “Good evening, My Queen. Good day, Beta. This is my deputy and this is the Head of crimes. Just as you've asked, I've come
KAYA“Why were you calling me? What happened?” This was the first time in almost two weeks that I was this close to him. This was also the first time in two weeks that I was smelling my husband's cologne again. “I thought you were dead. I got called today and I thought the accident was you. Turns out you were too busy having fun to even pick my calls.” He looked like he was done with my bullshit and technically, I didn't care. “Why do you keep saying this? I just told you that I misplaced my phone. What more do you want from me? I apologized for not coming to the station quickly. But how was I supposed to know? I didn't have my phone.”Was that the excuse he was going for? When I turned around to face him, he knew he had said something stupid. “You don't need a damn phone call to know when your wife is not in the house. Usually, you can feel her absence and when she's not in bed next to you, you get your ass up and go look for her. I guess I can only count on Nora to save me.”I
KAYAWhen I got tired of hearing Nora give the man hell, I got up. “Nora, it's okay. He has already apologized. Detective, if it's not my husband in the car, please who is it?”We looked down the hill at the car. The firefighters had just successfully put out the fire and they were trying to raise the car unto the pavement. “It's Alisha's car.” That was another shock and I couldn't help the way I reacted. “What did you say?”That's when I looked back at the car and it finally looked familiar. I had seen it in the driveway when I went to her house. “W-what happened?”“As for now, we have no idea. We can't exactly say what happened to her but we will know more when we investigate.”We had to give them space as they dropped the car on the pavement. Before long, a car pulled up and Tobias and some other men joined us. “My Queen, good day. I just got word that you came here.” Being here meant that it was truly important. I wanted them to treat it as such because now, we didn't have
KAYA That meant that Tim didn't know that Lucy was trying for a kid again. “I’ll come see you later, Tim. Just hang in there. You'll be out in a bit okay?”“That’s not what matters to me, Luna. I just want you to find who killed my wife. That's the only time I'll truly be at peace. If I get out without knowing what happened to Lucy, my life would never be the same.”I could understand his point. “And I'll do everything in my power to make sure that I find who did this. And I'll make them pay. I'll see you later.”I left him and went back upstairs. “I was about to come down to meet you. I've put people out to look for her. We should get news before the end of tomorrow.” I didn't see Lana in her arms so I figured that someone else had her or she had fallen asleep. I had been focusing on the wrong person so much that she had time to run away and we had no idea. But then, there was no way that I could have caught onto her trickery. If I hadn't gone to the house and decided to cal
KAYAHe nodded. “When she eventually told Lucy and Lucy told me, it happened to fall on a date when I was in the hospital for the injury on my leg. There was no way I would have been out because I was in surgery and I didn't wake up until three weeks later. When Lucy realised, she apologized to me and came back home. I forgave her. I didn't blame her one bit.“Alisha is manipulative. When she noticed that things were good again, she came for me. Lucy had to travel for some work. One night, I came back and found her in my home in nothing but lingerie. She climbed in through the window. I didn't even want to hear what she had to say before I asked her to get out. She cried and begged, saying that I wasn't being fair with her and that it wasn't fair that Lucy had to get everything she'd ever wanted. She said that Lucy didn't have to know what was going on between us and that we could keep it a secret.“The fact that she had lied against me before just made me even more angry and since s
KAYA She stayed on the phone for quite a while, while I asked the maid to get me something to eat. Maybe because I had rushed my food, I didn't feel like I'd eaten anything. She got off the phone before I could get my food. ”What’s going on? What did he say?”I could see the disappointed look on her face.“He says the house is empty. It's like no one ever lived there. She packed up everything and left.” What? Packed up and left? “Why would she do that? How the hell didn't he see that she was leaving?” ”He said she must have done it in the dead of night. I don't know. I'll only run when I have something to hide.” Did Alisha run? Or was she forced into leaving? With Alisha not in the picture, that just left a lot of loose ends untied. There were a lot of questions to ask her and now that she was MIA, there was no one to ask them. “I need to see Tim. I'll be right back.” Since I couldn't get to Alisha, I might as well speak to someone who might have known her. I need to know
