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 Eighty-TwoAnsel PovIt was a good morning to wake up to, with Violet by my side and her body nestled against mine. It was enough to bring me the peace i so desired. Just that nothing good lasts this long. A knock came to my door and when i thought it was Gloria playing with my intelligence, it continued and this time it was faster and more urgent. “Who is that?” She groaned and rubbed her eyes. She was beginning to get out of bed but i held her back.“Don’t worry, they’ll go away.” i said hoping it was true. There was a delay on the door and I sighed in relief only that it didn’t last for long.“Ansel! Violet!” It was Avery. “I know you two are in there, please open up this is really serious.” She sounded stressed and it was unlikely because it was barely nine a.m“I think we should answer it.” Violet moved out of my grip and rushed to the door, I grabbed a shirt and tugged it over my head, when she pulled the door open an anxious looking Avery was standing with her finger i
Chapter Eighty-ThreeViolet PovThere was something off when mother came by that morning, her eyes had no light in them and the way her lips quivered had me unsettled, even when she assured me that everything was fine and that she just wanted me home for a while, a part of me didn’t settle with that. Ansel and Henry had been out for most of the day and when I saw how much mum wanted me back I made up my mind to follow her back home. I wanted to see the twins and dad, even though he wasn’t the best fathers i wanted to look at him one last time. Mother was going to file for a divorce and it was all we needed to be free from him. It was all we needed to stay clear but for now I was to come back.“I don’t think you’ll have to reach out to him, i’m sure he’s fine.” Mother said when I tried calling again, it went straight to voicemail. This was unlike him, he would’ve picked it up, i tried again but this time it says he was on another call. My frown deepened and I wondered who the person mi
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
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-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-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-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
