CHAPTER 53POVAnsel Panic ensues the room at the mention of papa, Britney made a skiWondering why the super rush at the arrival of her step father.“Ansel, please we need to leave.” I trace back to the tray of delicious cookies.Her eyes traced mine. “I promise you would have one soon.” she said following the gaze.All my speculation was nothing but truth. An intrusive or probably abusive stepfather. Not wanting to be as intrusive as Violet stepdad, Tom Mason , I kept my eyes and ears off the family feud. Shutting the door after Violet and driving off the driveway while she was lost in her thoughts. It seemed the air had some visible particles that only Violet could see. Her right hands clinched to her left wrist as she looked at space.“Ursula Theodore”, Violet’s mother did have a long history of abusive men and psychologically why Violet, a beautiful, smart and modern woman would take a low life Jonathan as a lover. During my search for Violet I had employed a private investiga
CHAPTER 54POVViolet My legs shivered at every instant his lips paddled over mine. I was hypnotized over his touch. You should‘t be doing this. I had told myself but my body fails me each time I strive to end the pleasurable torture. I gasped for air at minute intervals. My left hand found its way over his head with my palms placed at his head while my fingers massaged through his brown hair. His lips move to my neck, my head lifts its muscles to a point. His sniffing and teasing continued and his lips cupped against my neck dropping in a kiss that felt like a bite. It sting a little but yet soothing and pleasurable. His hand’s massage down to my breast, cupping and massaging with so much tenderness. My head high up and my eyes closed I gasped for air with a soft moan. His hands started to pull down the sleeves of my shirt while I was lost in the experience, waiting on his next move. “Maureen” the computer lady from his phone cried out.Ansel didn’t seem to want the call but the t
CHAPTER 55PovANSEL“Is everything okay with Gloria?” I could tell Violet wasn’t still off the shock. Her eyes stiff within its sockets waiting for my response. I didn’t know what to say to her. I wasn’t sure if Gloria was actually okay. I set the key and ignited the car but it didn’t start off, the process was then repeated so many other times and still no positive result. The sun was beginning to set, giving a beautiful yellowish aesthetic to the corn farm far the other corner. The area wasn’t a familiar zone. Beingstuck on an unfamiliar road along the far axis of New Orleans sent panic to my bones. “Do you know how to use a gun?”. Violet’s face played the card of curiosity.“No,” her voice was stale and hard.“Get off,” commanding her soles to move even though she wasn’t having it.Dropping down to the corner, Violet had her feet on a sprint . Her structure stands adjacent to mine like some manikin. Her brown hair looked a mess and her eyes were tired. I pulled her, making her st
CHAPTER 56POVGloria Violet cuddled around Ansel’s arm sent peace to my soul. I really had thought something had happened to them after Jody called about the attack at Ursula’s . Ansel’s tired eyes could tell all he had gone through.“Is she alright”. Henry cried out in concern. Ansel nods his head , trying not to wake the sleeping beauty. I hurriedly led the way to Violets room to help him set her to bed. The floor creaked each step I took leading to her room. Violet was then placed comfortably on her princess bed. I sat down, raising her feet’s and removed the strands of the boots she got on .“What happened”. I asked Ansel softly and suddenly he grew so emotional for the very first time in half a decade. His hands ran through my hair in a comforting manner. “I thought something bad had happened to you”. My mouth widened with smile knowing how much I meant to him.“It was a rough day but I’m fine Ans.” I assured him knowing fully well that was a lie. Papa Raymond and myself wa
CHAPTER 57POVViolet.Hearing the little bird sing outside the window on a tree and opening my eyes to the bright morning triggered my full attention realizing I was in my bedroom at Ansel’s.“Ansel’s.” I called out softly seeing him shirtless staring at me with an unusual expression. He was deep staring at my body which was cut across the sheets with my skin glazing around the soft cotton.“Good morning violet”. He walked close to me and bent over till he placed a kiss over my head. His hand ravaged through my skin pointing out the scare I tried hiding for months. “Ansel stop.” I cried out but he didn’t listen until his lips pressed on the scar, like he was assuring me about something. He moved his hands to the other corner of my neck with a scar Jonathan had placed with a bottle that ended up in an ICU, again Ansel placed a kiss . He began to drop kisses to every corner of my body like he was searching for more of those scarce and I sat their not able to utter a word to his act. I
CHAPTER 58POVVioletButterflies moved around my stomach immediately Ansel’s opened the door to the back seat before he took to his corner.Ansel hasn’t spoken a word since he instructed me to meet him up. Not even a compliment from him. His eyes steady on his phone while I star gaze at the empty car space. My stomach growled in a loud hovering rage, my cheeks fluttering with embarrassment, hoping Ansel didn’t hear.“Matthew, make a stop at Clobals.” the driver acknowledged his command. My mind couldn’t get of the fact Ansel must have heard the rustling in my stomach wall and that’s why he asked Matthew to make a stop at the cafe. The journey was awfully quiet ant awkward, I couldn’t help but throw glances at Ansel. It was so wrong how much I wanted him again but his lack of attention to me threw me in the thought of being delusional.The car stopped at the Big Cafe at the Central District of the business area. Cars of different types rolled in and out of the premises. Clobals Cafe
Chapter 59POVAnselMy eyes and mine couldn’t get over Violet. She was perfect and that began to scare me. I wasn’t ready to be lust in a woman who doesn’t know my true nature.Maureen followed my every step and Violet had led the way in a pace we couldn’t catch up. Maureen continued the discussion about her numbers that wasn’t matching. I was definitely not the figure guy but the decision and marketing guy. m“i think V, could help you with that”. I chipped her in on V’s excellent work on numbers.“I don’t think your girl likes me that much.” Her speculation was absurd given V was the one who persuaded to attend her birthday over the weekend.“It’s Only in your head.” I told her m. “No, she seems off with me.“Uh— that.” I chuckled slowly knowing it has nothing to do with her. Violet was only reacting base on her feminine hormones of being territorial or she probably hate him now . Just like i hate myself at the moment.“What do you mean.” Maureen asked me. “I think said something
CHAPTER 60POVAnselThe light of the computer seemed to have put me on a hex. Every thought leads to Violet.Taking the words of Mrs wang, visiting the old man who helped save Henry’s life won’t be a bad idea and also taking Violet for lunch shouldn’t be so hard.Violet’s total concentration at work sparked me every time , she was indeed a genius. I waited for her to clear the desk and head to the elevator together. It had been quiet an eventful day for us two tryingto avoid the awkwardness that felt consuming.Working with V was supposed to make me feel better and set a leash on the urge of pulling her in my body each time. Her curves cried to me as we walked into the elevator .The tension in the air changed as soon as we stepped into the elevator. I have craved Violet’s body every moment after the early hours, and being in an elevator alone with her set in a strong connection between my nerves. I could feel my heart pumping and racing each time I inhaled her lavender scent, ev
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
