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 15 Violet's POV "Oh who is that c-", Mrs. Crazy retorted angrily but paused the moment she saw Gloria. I or one of her friends must have blocked her her view that she didn't see Gloria come in on time, plus I noticed the nervousness on her face instantly the moment Gloria's sight met hers. "Ok, so what's happening here and Sophia what are you doing to Violet?", Gloria asked curiously. "So Mrs. Crazy's got a name?", I thought to myself. "Gloria, what are you doing here", she asked as she moved backwards. Gloria moved into the circle towards us. "Oh baby girl, I'm so sorry, Sophia must have bullied the shit out of you", she said with a great concern while touching my face with sincere affection and turned to Sophia. "And you come closer", she said calmly beckoning to Sophia. This lady must be someone Sophia is afraid of as she moved towards Gloria and I so nervously. "I said come bitch", Gloria roared at Sophia as she moved closer to us. I was a little taken aback at
Chapter 16 Ansel's POV "Why will she leave me the way she did", I asked myself now getting annoyed at her. I wanted to stand up to go check up on her since she left about 20 minutes ago but I decided against it and also I saw Gloria moving towards the restroom so Violet should be fine. "So how far with the expansion you told me about", a business partner in a grey suit asked me, my mind was in more than one place. "Yeah, I'm on it, my research and development team have started worked and...", I replied him immediately and we got into a business conversation that lasted about 10 minutes. I had just concluded my last point with him when I sighted an old pal, I stood up with holding my wine in my right hand and moved towards him to greet him and have a chichat, we were in the middle of it when I felt a arm around my neck. "What is it this time around?", I asked in a harsh tone without turning back, her cologne gave her away. "Common, Ansel love can't I greet you?", Sofia asked me
Chapter 17Violet's POV"Who is Jim?", I asked out of fear seeing how their reactions are nowFirst it was Gloria and now Ansel.I hadn't gotten over my experience with Sophia."Oh sweetheart, that's someone you never want to meet", Gloria said."But you don't need to be so fearful love, we got you", she said to further placate me who has been tensed up since she saw I Sophia and Ansel together.If only Ansel could understand what I had been through today just within this few hours, also why do I have to be kept safe again."Who are these people for real?", I asked myself and there I decided that I and Ansel will need to have a sit down."Why is Jim here?", Ansel quizzed Gloria"I don't know boy, time will tell but firstly we need to get Violet to safety", she said as she held me closer looking into his face.Ansel picked up his phone."Hello, where are you?", he started the conversation and moved a few distance from us, who he is speaking to I don't know."Henry is on his way", he sa
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
