"Liliana? What are you saying?" Mr. Gregory asked Mirabel whose breathing was loud and harsh as she tried to calm down and take in oxygen that Mr. Gregory inhibited her from when he kept plunging her face in the water."Speak up now, I don't have all day!" He thundered and Mirabel shook in fright."Liliana, I said the name already Master, she is the one" Mirabel returned, her lips quivering because she was scared of the outcome of saying her name.Mr. Gregory took a step backward, his face filled with fright and confusion at the same time. He tugged on the beards on his jaws and went deep in thought."Liliana, Don't tell me it's the same person my mind is guessing her to be because that is very impossible" Mr. Gregory narrowed his eyes at Mirabel who took everything in her to resist the urge to roll her eyes at his rants."She is the only one master, Liliana, the young lady who was already entangled with Connor before I and even Carolina came into the picture, the same one that was ki
Mirabel was in a state of panic and fear as well. She was still tied to her legs and so couldn't make any movement or try to stand on her feet at least.The fact that Mr. Gregory would not rest until he had found Liliana since she had already disclosed to him that she was alive bothered her greatly.Mirabel had made a deal to keep Liliana's identity a secret until she was ready to reveal herself but she had already gone against it and was now awaiting what her fate would be. There was no need to sugarcoat it, Liliana was now a vengeful creep. Mirabel feared for her life because she did not know what will become of it if Liliana finds out that she told Connor's uncle about her even after she was specifically warned by Liliana not to blurt it out.Mirabel sagged into her seat tiredly, trying her best to shove those fears aside and make plans of escaping Connor's uncle.Meanwhile, Life in Connor's mansion has not been all that rosy for everyone there, especially Carolina.Carolina no mo
Connor did not want to get too deep in the kiss he and his mate were sharing and so he slowly pushed her off."I think you should go back to your room now," he said huskily and turned his back to Carolina who was not ready to put an end to their intimacy just yet.She came before him again, standing tall and proud, "I'm not going anywhere Connor" she uttered obstinately, making Connor look up at her.He stared deep into her eyes which were glistening with tears, feeling so drawn to them. It took all of his willpower not to cup her face in his hands as tenderly as ever and have her engage in a steamy lip lock with him. Connor threw his face away from her attractive one, not wanting to be tempted further to do more naughty things with her, and cursed inaudibly.Carolina seemed so irresistible at that moment and no matter how hard he fought to keep himself in control to prove to her that he was still mad at her, the way she bit her lips nervously while staring back at him made his earli
Carolina stirred on the bed where she was sleeping with Connor, muttering some incoherent words sleepily and snuggling into her pillow. Connor chuckled slightly as he watched her pout her lips like a little child while she was still sleeping.Her eyes fluttered open instantly and she came to face with Connor who had been watching her while she slept all along. A bashful smile found its way to her cheeks and she covered her face shyly.“Morning big baby, I trust last night was a memorable one for you” Connor smirked, Carolina’s cheeks turned red as the memories of what they had done the night before came rushing into her mind. The way Connor handled her while they made out was something she was not going to forget anytime soon.Carolina recalled how caring Connor was with her all through her ride to climax and back. Indeed, Connor made her feel like a woman, not just a woman, a goddess. She looked outside the window, “It’s morning already? How time flies” she muttered and let out a sma
Mirabel was able to successfully escape from Mr. Gregory's captivity. She went straight to Liliana's coven to have a word with her and let her know of her plans to get back at Hardulph."Where have you been?" Liliana requested the moment Mirabel made her entrance to the underground. Mirabel rolled her eyes at the tune she used on her but did not respond immediately. She only walked straight to a comfortable seat in the room and sat down, ignoring Liliana's earlier question."I have a plan. A plan to make Hardulph pay for making me fall head over heels for him only to break my heart in return. I am ready to exert my revenge on him for thinking of playing with my feelings in the first place" Mirabel stated coldly. Liliana smirked at her words and folded her hands across her breast. The thought of carrying out an evil plan made her elated in a way and she couldn't wait to hear what Mirabel had to say."Spit it out then, I haven't done anything mischievous in a long while" She uttered,
Liliana placed a call to some people to capture Helen, Hardulph's pregnant mate after Mirabel texted her that Hardulph was already with her. The plan was to lead Hardulph far off the city so that they could easily take his mate into captivity without his knowledge.Besides, he was going to be too far to trace her scent when they get hold of her and so wouldn't be able to find her so easily. This was unknown to Hardulph who did not have the littlest idea that Mirabel was already aware of his plans with Connor and had started her revenge already. Mirabel pulled out of the kiss and smiled coyly at Hardulph who tried his best to hide his discomfort while smiling back at her. "Come, I want to show you something" Mirabel uttered and began pulling Hardulph's hands away from where they were initially standing.Hardulph was relieved that his plans with Connor will soon come to an end, now that it is obvious that Mirabel was in love with him. He was just going to get her open up to him in
Hardulph winced painfully and slowly opened his eyelids which had been closed since he was knocked out by Mirabel.His head ached badly and his eyes felt heavy, Hardulph was strangely tired and he began to wonder what was amiss with his system.At first, his eyesight was blurred and he couldn't make out where he was or the objects before him. He could tell that someone was before him because of how thick his scent was.Hardulph shook his head violently and blinked countlessly before opening his eyes to behold Liliana who was just in front of him and glaring daggers at him.Hardulph's eyes widened and his mouth became dry in an instant. He couldn't believe what he was seeing and thought maybe he was in a dream.He tried to pinch himself to confirm the possibility of seeing correctly only to realize that his hands were tied from behind and he was on a wooden chair. Hardulph tried to wriggle free from the clutches of the rope that was used to hold him down but his efforts were futile. T
As if on cue, Mirabel walked in on Hardulph requesting to see his mate, and frowned upon it."Who are you talking about? Who is Helen and why are you asking after her as soon as you regained consciousness instead of me? I thought we had something together, Hardulph" Mirabel snarled and came out fully so that Hardulph was shocked to see her in Liliana's coven of all places.His mind wandered back to how he suddenly became unconscious when the last thing in his memory was spending time with Mirabel as they watched a group of dancers, he knew at once that Mirabel and Liliana were working hand in hand. "You, you made me pass out" he snarled at Mirabel who only shrugged and made her way before him. It was at that time he felt the sharp pain at the back of his head which came about as a result of the effect of the bat Mirabel used on him, the bump was very visible."You've not answered my question, Hardulph, who is Helen?" Mirabel retorted and Hardulph clenched his jaw in rage."Helen is
