Chapter 38 Violet POV “Put the parcel on there.” He instructed after I placed the cup rack on the desk followed by my laptop and his tablet. “Gladly.” I muttered placing the material on his desk. I sighed in relief and took in his spacious office, the binds opened up with a single command. Light poured in from all over and the glass wall complimented the aesthetic, the large oak desk in the far end had a large leather seat which probably cost more than all the things I ever owned. Ansel peeled off his jacket and hanged it on the rack, he carried his coffee and walked towards the window, it seems cliche that he would do something like that and so I watched. I grabbed my own coffee and inspecated the cup, I noticed a small note was tapped to it’s body. “Have a great day at work, tell Ansel not to go overboard.” It read and I chuckled. “What’s funny?” Ansel turned to me. He looked hot in his waist coat and the black coffee cup in his hand. “Uh-“ I cleared my throat. “It’s no-“
Chapter 39 Violet pov When I stepped back inside Ansel’s office I frowned at the sight in front of me. Ansel was back and so was Henry with him but their facial expression didn’t sell of as happy. “Is everything alright?” I asked puzzled by there deamonor. “Hey V,” Henry said lightly but Ansel still remained soured faced. “We just need your help with something that’s all.” Ansel said typing something on his phone. “Okay- uhm- what can I help you with?” I asked still puzzled. “Sit,” I obeyed watching the both of them, Henry brought Ansel’s tablet to me and opened the document I worked on earlier. “How did you know how to arrange the list?” This was all about the list? What happened? “Yeah- did i do something wrong? I just followed the names and numbers-“ “How? You’ve never come in contact with this list yet you know what to put together.” I stared at Ansel who had questions buried in his eyes. “Well, I don’t know I just figured it out.” I answered feeling the heat take
Chapter 40 Violet pov He stalked closer to me with his eyes piercing through me, I regretted the words the left my mouth instantly and wished I had just kept quiet. Instead, he was preying towards me like a wild beast. He stopped few inches from me which was a considerate height especially with me gazing up at him. If I stepped on my tiptoes there is a probability that we would be kissing. It didn't seem like a bad idea but right now it did. “You are quite daring Violet.” his fingers brushed some strands of my hair behind my ear and his hands nestled there. His warm fingers stroked my cheeks and I shuddered in delight at his touch. It was difficult to pretend that he didn't have an effect on me. His other hands found way to my waist and then my hips, he used both hands to grab my hips and house me up in the air. “Arh-” I squealed as he walked around the room, my vision upside down was distorted and the only thing in plain sight was his toned ass. “Put me down, Ansel!” I scream
CHAPTER 41 POV Ansel seeing v walk off with Maureen sent a faint tingle to my core, “was she save”, leaving her to Maureen wasn’t the brightest of ideas but she wouldn’t let it go, being persuasive was Maureen’s super power and Violet had a pleading look almost as if she really didn’t want to be around me and so I sent her to wallow in her five minute of freedom. They had both walk pass the crowd and I could swear on how eyes perched on Violet , her large burgundy crochet top dropped over her right shoulder exposing her light pale skin while the oversized part danced along her body like she was in a run way. It reminded me about the night she had twist and turn to the rhythm of the country song she sang while she baked, her voice was beautiful, she is beautiful, her eyes rolling and her lips curling to every unanswered question sent me chills. I really wished that night never ended. The beep from my phone pulled me off my thought “unknown caller “ my husky voice called out imm
Chapter 42POV{Ansel }I was beginning to feel something I haven't felt in a while , Fear. When Henry was injected with wolfsbane I felt rather frustrated than fear because I knew he would be fine but right now all I feel in my bones was fear,the same fear i felt when papa was injected with the rear specie of wolfsbane. Papa howled for long until he burnt out from the pain, my negligence and incompetence caused his death and now again I’m about to loose Violet for the same reason. “ we should split up, it’s the best chance we've got to find them” my hands ruffled my hair, trying to shake off the negative thoughts, I was foolish to let her go with Maureen , this wasn’t supposed to go this way, I guess the caller was right.“Henry, call me when you find her “he acknowledged and left . Henry had his focus here in the lounge so I walk off towards the pool hoping to see the girls . slow and steady I tried to pick Violet’s scent which was helping until I perceived a weird and loose sce
Chapter 43 Pov [Ansel]It was barely dusk and my phone was already buzzing , Draco. My feet startled at the name.“whats the update.” pacing around, I listened quietly to every detailed uncovered, which wasn’t much.“ the location pinned on the files were correct but there seem to be a house off the street that has been reported severally about improper lab testing.“Mrs Witt , a chemistry teacher in Savannah High,”she has been reported severally for community endangerment due to research she carries out in her garage. She might be the scientist working on the production.” These news was solely based on assumption nothing really concrete to hold against her.“ I wont get myself involved in human activities,” that I know is impossible with Violet in my house and my duty to keep her family safe. That should have excluded that thought but this was different.My phone beeped, this time was Henry.“ Ansel, I came across a farm along the east area and it’s filled with wolfsbane.”His
Chapter 44POV Violet Insomnia had always been a tale to me and today makes it the first night without sleep since I got in the mansion. I had thought my night will go beautiful after my shower but my eye’s stayed put staring at space and my heart ponder about my life. Violet Baroli, a girl born of Judith and Anderson Baroli.who lived all her life in the slums of Texas and Louisiana now sleeps on a king size bed in the an astonishing residential area with clean air and no noise of underground trains.I really want to consider myself lucky having a princess life but it isn’t all roses .

Chapter 45 Pov Violet “You shouldn’t be here.” His eyes studied my body like he was day dreaming just like I was, seeing him stand over the door frame caused chaos in my nerves. His legs crossed over as he laid on one shoulder. His athlete body in those short was no words other than Hot. Ansel looks good in every outfit but he looks way hotter in those, scanning through his physic my eyes picked on the budge between his pants. “Leave.” my legs picked it’s step like I was been sired, my body and brain works as a submissive to his words. Running back to my room and the door locked, my back rested on its surface trying to get my head out of the unforgettable view I had of Ansel. “Would I be able to look at him the same.” knowing we are heading to the other side of town together probably a meter apart and his soft scent always clouding my thought and causing intense flooding between my thighs. Fantasizing about Ansel had taken over my thought and stolen my mind from time. I h
Chapter 92EPILOGUE Ansel POVI had never been more scared in my life than knowing that something was wrong with Violet, when she doubled over in my hands and asked that i called Avery i knew something was awfully wrong. Now she was in my arms as we rushed out of the space with Avery by my side and her mother by the other.The ambulance was here and when they came to take her away from my clutch i sent a glare towards the man.“Ansel- they’ll need to take her.” Avery said with pleading eyes but my own remained on Violet, her brows were slightly furrowed and her lips were slightly parted and her breath sahllow.“Mr. W-”“Ansel, don’t be selfish we all want her to be fine. So just let them do there job.” Jim said and i stared down at her one more time before i turned to the rest of them, every one was equally worried about her like i was. I passed her to the worker who seemed relieved and they placed her in the stretcher and carried her to the ambulance where they laid her in. Avery fo
chapter 91Violet POVThe engagementAvery zipped me up in my dress and my hands smoothened over the front of the dress, it was an ankle length satin dress that fit my curves very well, my bump was there, little but if you looked close enough it was there. My hair and makeup had been done properly and i couldn’t help but gush at how bright my face was.“Are you ready to go?” I asked and turned to Avery who was finishing up on her lips, she posed quickly and aligned herself properly when she found me watching me.We got in the car, we were already fifteen minutes late. Mother and Jim had already arrived while we stayed back to finish up since we had been tired through the morning. “Is your speech ready?” Avery asked as the car arrived the venue, of course camera’s and lights were everywhere. I chewed on my buttom lips and turned to the window where i inspected the outside adn grabbed my clutch.“Yeah, i had to rewrite it”“You did?”“Yeah, fresh inspiration came while i was trobuling
Chapter Ninty Sophia POVI had messed up a hundred times and betraying Ansel was never the most thrilling, in fact i always felt bad about it every single time. I carried the guilt around like one of my designer dresses on fancy nights and it made me act terribly towards everyone, especially Violet. She was the only one who made Ansel happy yet it wasn’t enough for me to back down. I ended up being a bitch to her the entire time. Maureen had never someone i liked, i didn’t openly say it because she was human, she ahd nothing to make me envy her so much so i let it slide. When i heard of the attack on her, something felt awfully off and i went out to investigate, it just took not long to hearing Maureen telling someone to make sure the evidence was burnt away, i had tracked the person just in time that i laid my hands on the evidence and made sure Maureen knew i had it.It was the way i could get her out of the house, away from Ansel. I had no idea with what happened between Ansel an
Chapter 89Violet POVI rubbed my face one last time and then watched as Ashley did her little dance, it was nothing I wanted to seat here and watch-“Hey violet. What do you think about this?” Avery asked and I turned to her, she had a single piece of lilac material and another of peach. “I don't know which of the two your mother would like, I tried asking her but she seemed so busy with Jim I decided to come ask you.” “Peach-” Ashley answered and I turned to her, she had stopped dancing and placed her fingers on her chin, her face was less sweaty than before and she pouted her lips when she found me staring.“What? You know she likes peaches.” she shrugged and turned back dancing. I rolled my eyes and turned back to Avery who had a sheepish smile on her face.“Shes right, Mums favourite colours are peaches.” I said and Avery nodded. I was staring down at the planner in front of me when my phone started buzzing. My heart thumbed in my chest when I found the name, I paled and my mou
Chapter Eighty-eightAnsel POVIt’s been a month since the whole incident with Glen, he had been caught and taken to a special facility. The place i was currenlty heading to alone. The doors buzzed opened and i turned right where i was greeted by the guard who escorted me further into the room. There was something i wanted to know from him and after days of contemplating i was here to meet his face to face.“Are you sure you want to see him?” The head of the facility asked and I didn’t respond and we kept walking. There was a stench that reminded me of the hospital, acidic and nausating. “Yes,” He sighed and carried me to the elevator, he pressed at the button and then a key code,the doors closed and then the box drifted downwards. The doors opened and the space was darker than the upper place, it looked like a vault another of the door was opened with a keycard and the two guards by the entrance greeted us with a slight nod, we entered the visiting area which was made of round tabl
Chapter Eighty-SevenLaila POVONE MONTH LATER Jim finally found jonathan and we were able to find the twins, they were safe and Jim made sure to teach Jonathan a lesson for threatening my family, he was bashed beyond recognition. Mother pleaded with Jim not to kill him and he reluctantly obbeyed. Glen on the other hand had been intercepted by special ops of werewolves. Jim informed us that Gloria had reached out and they tackled Glen and destroyed everything they experimented on and locked him away at a special facility.It was all over and i was supposed to be happy that it was but i couldn’t. “Vi- we should get that, what do you think?” Mother asked as we shopped for materials, the divorce had run through successfully not after making sure to leave an imprint on dad.I nodded absentmindedly as I followed her gaze and then reached out to touch a pink material on the cover. It was soft and smooth, when I tried to pull it out it didn’t budge until I found another pair of hands grabb
Chapter Eighty-sixAnsel PovIt has been three days and something seemed off, it had been a really busy week, with the plans and the need to carry out the deal with Jim. It had taken so much of my time that I didn't notice Violet gone from regular dinners until the third night when Maureen and I ate while she told me stories of herself. The table side was empty and since Gloria went away for a brief mission that morning, it was clear that Violet had been gone for a long time. I stirred at the soup in my bowl and after a while i pushed my chair back and Maureen stopped talking.“What are you going?” she asked while her eyes followed me.“I’ll be right back.” I answered and walked up the stairs to her room, it had been a while i stepped in there. She was probably mad at me since that day and decided to stay back in her room- but when i opened the door my brows creased and my nose sniffed the air.She wasn’t just around.She was gone.The room didn’t look like anyone has slept there for
Chapter Eighty-fiveViolet Pov“Violet!” I found his eyes which were a mixture of disappointment and disbelief. “What is going on?” he asked glacning from me to Maureen, my hands which were halfway in the air dropped to my side and i waited to clear my mind with what was going on but Maureen had other plans and started sobbing. My eyes widened and i turned to her, her face was suddenly red and her eyes drenched with tears. Why?- I haven’t done anything to her.“Ansel- I- i- i came over to apologize but she started saying mean things to mean and said it was my fault for getting in this position- I i - didn’t mean- mean to up-set her with- my presence.” Maureen lied through her teeth while tears poured down her eyes, I turned to her and she was already staring at me, even underneath the tears i could see the mischevious glint in her eyes.“I- swear- i- I- I didn’t think she- it’s all my fault, everything is- is all my fault- everything like this is my- fault. If i had- had paid- more- a
Chapter Eighty-fourJonathan POVI watched as they both exited the car and beelined for the house, the clouds rumbled and i watched as the rain rolled by with the sound of thunder and the striking of lightening. It was going to be enough cover to get away with what i want. What belongs to me. Violet. She was mine, wheteher she didn’t want to accept it.I followed them into the house and when her mother turned on the lights, i stepped inside the living room.“Surprise,” I said and her eyes widened when she realised that i was there with them. Ursula only glanced at me with her hands wrapped by Violet side protectively.“Jonathan. What are you doing here?” She asked with her brows narrowed down at me. It wasn’t only the way she looked at me, even the way she stood in front of me was different. The Violet i had known in the past would cower and hide until her back was against the wall but here she was standing at her full height without looking at me with fear, instead it was something m
