Chapter 6
Ansel's POV
I got to the office that morning so bothered about Violet, she is such a hard but to crack, I wished she was a werewolf, maybe I won't be in so much fix right now.
"What a girl!!!”. I exclaimed loudly not mindful of the people around me as I head to my office.
I am the CEO of a transportation company that cut across all transportation sectors be it road, air, water and other forms of transportation, I have several branches spread across Europe too, I have built it better than how my parents left it to become one of the leading transportation company in the country.
I was so engrossed in my thoughts about Violet that I ignored all greetings addressed to me that morning as I headed hurriedly to the elevator that would take me to my office, I pressed the bell and met my best friend and Beta.
"Good morning Ansel, how was your night?", Brian greeted.
"Wad up bro", I responded trying to cheer up.
"A penny for your thoughts, cos you seem bothered", he said out of concern.
"Never mind bro, you know I will always be fine", I replied trying to dismiss his concern.
"Ok, if you say so", he said resignedly.
"How is she doing, hope she is holding up well?", he quizzed again.
I didn't answer, instead I put both hands in the pocket and looked away from him.
"Ansel, does she know who you are?", he quizzed further.
"Common Brian, I can't tell her just yet, we just met and she hasn't processed everything yet, it's too early bro", I replied immediately.
"Plus she is just getting used to me, remember?", I said as the elevator finally stopped and opened at the floor where my office is located.
"Good morning guys", Gloria my cousin greeted us.
"Hey, beautiful how are you doing?", Brian replied first with a smile on his face.
"Am fine, dear handsome, how are you holding up?", she replied him immediately.
"And you Ansel how was your night?, she greeted me.
"I hope you haven't forgotten our hangout in few days time?", she added immediately.
"Am fine Gloria and I haven't forgotten?" I replied back.
"Better, cos I may have your head for missing it", she replied with a mischievous smile on her face.
"So let's go in, we have quite alot to catch up, especially on her", she said almost immediately.
"So what's the update about the park?", I asked as we got into my large office.
"Nothing much for now, no attacks for now but that should not mean that we should be relaxed, we should still continue with the strict measures in place if we don't wanna be wiped out easily". She said with so much concern.
"You are right dear, we can't be lax these days, how about the affected ones?" I said
"Have you started taking care of them and their families?" I quizzed further.
"Yeah, I have that handled boss", she said with a smile.
"Good, so what's the update about Violet's family?", I asked with a curious look in my eyes.
"Chill lover boy, I have made inquiries, the attack was bad but I guess they will pull through and I have about four of our guys watching over the", she said facing me.
'Ok, no problem, please continue to watch them and if need be, double the numbers', I said satisfactoryly.
"I guess am done here I will leave you guys to your things, have gotten quite some things to catch up, remember I have to work also for my paycheck". She said.
"See ya", I said and Brian did the same as she went back to her office.
She is also a worker in my office, she heads my HR team and she has been so fantastic both to the company and the park.
She is very understanding and ready to do anything for me, no wonder why she is my favorite cousin.
"Ansel, I believe it's a good idea to tell her about you, she can't just bump into that fact without a prior warning or knowledge", Brian said immediately.
"It will save you further stress and headache, I believe", he said again when he got no reply from me.
"No bro, let's take it slow", I replied Brian.
"Ok bro, if you say so", he said giving up.
Brian is a light-hearted individual who hardly force his words on people, he believes in people entitled to their choices.
"Sophia has been acting up crazily these, can you keep an eye on her for me please", I requested.
Sophia Caleb was my girlfriend for years, she was my first love, a werewolf and a gamma for that matter, we were the perfect couple even though she is the very mean and nasty type, I accepted her nevertheless until she cheated with another park leader years ago.
I was so down when I discovered and still accepted her back until she I caught her after the fifth time and I decided to quit because I discovered she does not love me anymore like she use to.
"I'm so sorry, I tried to stop her but she just barged in", my secretary begged me as she came running in after Sophia dressed in a short pink gown.
"Hey love", she said as she sat and her legs on my table revealing her left tighs most especially.
"It's okay dear", I said to my secretary who looked at Sophia with disdain and left almost immediately.
"Hi Brian", Sophia greeted sarcastically but got no reply.
"Nevermind", she said fixing her attention to me
"You haven't been picking my calls lately Ansel why?", she asked.
"What do u what Soph?", I snapped back at her.
"You!", she snapped back.
"Well too late sweetheart, he can't be yours anymore and you are in our space", Brian snapped with disdain written all over his face.
"He ain't complaining or are you Ansel", she asked me.
"Well you are dear and we broke up, remember?", I replied almost immediately.
"I'm coming back", she said laughing hysterically as she left.
"Good riddance", Brian said.
Chapter 7Violet's POVI have been alone with my thoughts since he left me, the oblivion of how things would be from now on has got me brooding with several questions on my mind."When will this contract end?", I said aloud."Can't wait to get done with these, it's driving me crazy", I said aloud again.I needed a break from what life has been bringing my way since all these days ranging from my relationship to my stressful low paying job and a nasty job, so I never bargained for these new events and it's really driving me crazy.I laid on the bed for hours and thought to call my mom's number but decided against it as Ansel warned me against doing that majorly for my safety and that of my family and even if I wanted to there is no phone.I looked up and discovered it was around past 1 in the afternoon and I had not freshen up, so I moved into the bathroom to shower and got dressed in no time.My stomach needed food as I couldn't eat well in the morning due to the way Ansel stared at m
Chapter 8Violet's POVIt's been four days since I last saw Ansel and to say, I have been quite relieved because there has been lesser drama, no yelling, no peeping, let me say I've been free as a bird.He had packed for few days because of an emergency that needed his attention and left specific instructions for me when he was leaving and that includes not breaking the rules in the contract and I wasn't ready for another world war 3, so I promised to comply and I did to the letter.Feeding was no problem as food delivery services brought me nice meals every morning, noon and night, a complete balance diet.I was inside the room around 12 noon when I heard the door of the house open, I raced down the hall curiously with the intention of hiding my face at a corner when he comes in and sneak back into my room as soon as I see him climbing up."Hi Violet, how are you doing?", an unfamiliar voice said as soon as I got to the wall closer to the staircase, I have to hide my face, my heart s
Chapter 9I was thinking so hard about how things is going to be from now on, everywhere was damn silent except for the table producing the sound my fingers are giving it as I tap on the table severally with them.I had gotten into the room after spending few minutes with Brian downstairs, the park had been attacked again and it was quite brutal this time around as we took two casualties to our side.The park had been so disturbed as a result of this recent incident and I had to leave the house for a few days to quell the issue the best way I can before it gets out of hand.Several investigations had revealed some people and I had swung into action immediately, I and Brian and we discovered some shocking incidentsThe attack had made everyone so shaken that we couldn't reveal it to them but we hope to tell them soon but nevertheless continue with the investigation discreetly just Brian and I.I had checked up on Violet's family too and I heard they are doing well so I worry less.I wa
Chapter 10 Violet's POV "Jerk", I said in a very low tone as I watched him leave me alone.Well he tried by keeping to his words as regards my family members, his words made me a little cheerful as I whistled a song in a playful manner into my room to wait the arrival of the so called mystery arrangement he has made for the party."Finally", I said as I saw a woman drive in and come out of her car with a red gown and a big box.I wondered who she may be"Friendly or evil?""Will she be able to help me when I call for help or she will totally ignore me?"I asked these questions with others too but couldn't find an answer to them.All I could do is sit on the bed and allow things to kinda play itself out.I heard a knock on the door shortly and I went to answer it and behold I saw a very beautiful blonde lady with a pointed nose about 5'9 fts tall looking at me."Hey baby girl will you allow me in?", she said breaking my thoughts."Oh sorry", I said as I made way for her to enter."My
Chapter 11Ansel's POV"Well I believe they should be done by now", I said looking at my watch and moved out of the room towards her room, when I heard gigglings."Ladies", I thought to myself, I waited for a while replying some important text messages on my phone before entering the room without knocking of course, they stopped talking, the expression on Gloria seems like that of relief, what it was I couldn't tell.I looked at Gloria and then to Violet, I wished someone had warned me earlier, maybe I would have been better prepared and not too surprised by how beautiful she looked, my heart was really raced at that moment."You look ravishing", I said but those words never came out, instead it rang in my head.Gloria really did a good job, well being a fashionista less ain't expected.I couldn't help but notice how she looked at me also and I had this strange confidence."Maybe I am not looking too bad myself and kinda attractive to her", I thought to myself.I moved closer to them
Chapter 12Violet's POV"Ansel", I called but he wasn't within the hearshot anymore, so I had to just keep calm so as not to pose as a nuisance."Why did this guy leave me in the midst of all these unknown faces", I asked myself feeling anxious again.I had noticed people staring at me and it's making me feel quite uncomfortable, I wondered why it was like that."Maybe my dressing", I said to myself releasing a brief chuckle."But these stares are quite weird and they even look at me when conversing", I still thought to myself again confused at what's going on.I thought of either blending with them or hiding away and I kinda chose the latter.I looked back again and I stumbled on someone, I almost fell but had to hold myself."Will you get a grip of yourself girl", came in a harsh tone directed at me."Oh sorry, I never intended to", I replied apologizing to the female figure who stood in front of me giving me this disdainful look that's got me surprised as I am just seeing her for t
Chapter 13Violet's POV"Are you okay dear", I asked with great concern."I hope you are not wounded", I picked her up and checked her to see if she is well."Where is your mom?", I further quizzed her as I held her tightly while looking around for a female figure to come and get her but no one came forward."Where is your mo-", I couldn't finish as she interrupted me with her hug.I felt a shocking wave through me and I wished she was mine at that moment.Maybe motherhood is beckoning on me or is it just my nature but I couldn't explain it as I smiled and held on to her stroking her hair."What are you doing here?", a familiar voice from the back came up."I thought I told you to stay put", Ansel added again while I still squat with the girl but facing him.The little girl buried her face in my chest, refusing to let go of me."Shhhh, common Ansel, you will scare her the more", I said seriously while still squatting."Wha--, he wanted to talk but was interrupted by a woman, I guess h
Chapter 14Violet's POV"Can someone help me please", I yelled but no one answered, I guess the noise is quite much.I would have called Ansel if only I had a phone, I was in the middle of this when I felt a hand drag me back and pushed me further into the bathroom in a very violent manner.I would have hit my head on the washing hand zinc ahead of me had I not been fast enough to use my hand to hold the bathroom wall ahead of me.I balanced well and faced about three feminine unknown faces with mean looks, their stature alone is quite defiant.Then about two of the bathroom door clicked open and I saw another unknown lady and the second one looked quite familiar but I couldn't guess who she was right away."Look who we have here", the one with the familiar face said, her voice gave her away."Oh God not again with Mrs. Crazy", I lamented within.She moved closer to me and looked at me so closely like she wants to beat me up at any moment, I got uncomfortable and stepped back a bit fr
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
