Chapter seventy-fourViolet PovSo many questions raked through my mind but one stood out the most, it was the one that pierced through my head while the darkness enveloped me. Mother. My mother. Why was she here? Why was she in the auction? How did she get in here? This was a place meant for the elites, yet my mother Ursula Barioli was here and she wasn’t here by mistake, she was also dressed up and here for the auction.Her eyes held mine in those last seconds, there was no fear in them, just surprise. She hadn't expected me to be here and neither did i.Now i was in the back of a car caged by hefty men who made no move to touch me. Instead they stayed put, through the bag on my head it was difficult to see anything. I had regained consciousness but i pretended to be out cold, if i was going to get kidnapped i should have the upper hand by getting information from the people i was with.“Did you know that Ursula had a daughter?” One of the guys, the one to my left, asked and I tri
Chapter Seventy-FiveUrsula Pov“Where is she?” I badged inside fuming and upset that he lost her. How could he have lost her? The men in the living room turned to me and their ashen faces met mine, none of them had answers for me and i was getting irritated by how quiet they were.“Where is my daughter?”“Relax woman, she’s right here.” I swallowed and turn at the sound of Jim’s voice, he had just walked in with Violet in his arms. Her dress was rumpled and torn and her knees were scrapped and had dried blood on them. Slowly, i met up with her gaze where she was also staring at me.“I’m fine.” she pointed out harshly and wiggled out of Jim’s hold, he let her and she stood with saggy shoulders and a messed up hair.“Great, now is the best time for a fammily renuion, Ursula-” Jim caught my eyes. “Explain to her everything she needs to know.”“She doesn’t need to know anything yet.” I said strongly keeping my gaze on Jim who had some sort of amusement in his eyes, he was enjoying all of
Chapter Seventy-sixGloria PovI had seen anger in so many ways and on different faces, also I had seen more of Ansel angry in every way possible but when he got back to the house without her, I knew that something was awfully wrong. They had found where she was but i had stayed back.“Anse-” I started but his dark eyes cut me off. His brooding form stormed inside and he slammed the door shut behind him. Henry who was beside me sighed and rubbed his face.“What happened?” I asked. “I don’t know. I’ve been with Avery- but from the looks of it, he’s pissed that violet isn’t with him.”Violet.This was the fifth day and no one had heard from Violet, she had refused to pick calls and now it wasn’t even going through. Jim made sure no one could come around his house without a form of invitation. So when i drove up to the gates, the guards spared me no glance and i left five hours later.No one knew the entire story of what happened back there but there was only one other person i could as
Chapter Seventy sevenAvery PovMy hands fiddled with the material of my sweater and my teeth clawed at the buttom of my lips, my anxiety was getting the best of me as i waited for Henry and Ansel to come around, i had found a loop hole and managed to get some information on Glen’s plan while i was out earlier. I bounced on my heels as i glanced around, even though i was in human territory i couldn’t help to stay on alert. With the chaos brooding the background, it was only a matter of time before everybody was enveloped in this mess.“If it isn’t the richest witch of the monte.” I turned to the person who was coming in my direction with hand behind there back.“Sophia- what a not so pleasant surprsie.” I said calmly, the lady had managed to look nothing irritable but it didnt change the fact that i didn’t like her. “Likewise.” She said stooping few meters away from me, a small smile played on her lips as she stared back at me. Why was she here? Did she come to run an errand and why
Chapter Seventy-EightViolet Pov“It has always been about you V, every fod damn thing has been about you from the very beginning.” His words resounded in my head as i stared at him. Right now i wasn’t seeing only the hot headed Ansel, i was seeing someone else. A man who was vulnerable, his eyes were dimmed as they rested on me. My breathing had slowed down and my voice stuck in my throat. I didn’t know what to expect when i followed him outside of the room but this was the last thing i wanted to see, i didn’t want to see him like this, it weakend my resolve, it weakend all of me.“Every- every single thing i did- all of it was for you.” He said with his voice strained, it pulled at my heart. He was closer than before and my feet remained planted unmoving as i stared back at him.“You lied to me Ansel-” I didn’t know why i sounded like a wall wrecked into by wrecking ball, “Why?”“I didn- I’m sorry- V-” His hands reached out to touch me and i let him, his long strong fingers skimmed
Chapter Seventy-Nine Ansel Pov When my fingers moved further up her thighs, her legs momentarily pull close together and then apart giving me enough room to touch her. She placed her hands beside her for support as her head titled back and her eyes closed shut. I managed to control the growl that rumbled in my chest as i found her already wet for me. “You’ve been thinking of me touching you, haven’t you?” I asked next to her ears as my fingers rubbed against her, her panties were already wet and my fingers glided easily over her while her hips jerked up to meet with my movements. I moved the material aside and pushed a single finger into her wet slick folds. Her hands gripped my shoulders and my name rolled off her tongue, my eyes moved up to her face where her lips were parted and my brows relaxed in her building ecstasy, there was all the encouragement i needed and so i slid another finger deep into her. Her body throbbed under my fingers. “Ansel- oh-” i increased my pacing as
Chapter EightyAnsel PovStrip.She obeyed pull at her sides as she slowly skimmed the material down her legs. Even with the hoodie that hanged over her frame I could still find her shapely legs, my eyes followed as her arms raised above her head taking off her hoodie. The image of he standing in nothing but lace panties set me on the edge, it was a rush to my blood as she dropped the material to the ground. She raised her hands to cover herself which made me frown, I moved up to her instantly that I held her hands to the side. “Dont.” I warned and she looked at me through her lashes, “Don’t look at me like that.” I Whispered and she chewed on her buttom lips out of habit. It made me want to peel the rest of her clothings and throw her on my bed where i devour her. I grabbed her hands gently pulling her with me, i caressed her face and placed a kiss to the base of her chin where she sucked in her breath and held unto my shoulders for support. My lips found hers and i engrossed her
Chapter Eighty OneHenry POVI found her just where i had expected, she was having her regular break at the cafe down town and was also scrolling through her phone. Her brows were creased and her eyes fixated on nothing else, she was lost in her world that she didn’t notice me come by until i was pulling the chair opposite her. Her eyes tugged up and they stared at me, wide. The straw in between her lips fell and her mouth formed an ‘o’.“You could get kidnapped, you know.” I started and she shut her mouth and then rolled her eyes at me. “What a blissful way to say hello.” She remarked and took another sip from her cup. “What are you doing here Brian?” No one called me Brian, no one except Avery who had her way with me. I didn't mind it, infact, I enjoyed that she acknowledged me like that.“I am here to make sure you don’t get kidnapped.” I answered and she laughed again, she was the type who didn’t laugh as much. She kept her demeanour serious at all times yet she caught unto my 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
