WILL’S POVIt had been over a month since the miscarriage incident, and until now, it was still hurting that Derek had died before I laid my hands on him. He was said to have been gunned down in a killing spree in a distant town.But then, with all my research, and findings, it was certain that Derek had someone who gave him orders to harm Nadia, and I would not rest until I fish out who it was that tried to harm my wife. I had been trying to watch out for loose ends, but I hadn’t found any.The only place which I didn’t make my investigations was the school which Nadia attended. Then I have to go there today, hopefully I find or hear something useful that can serve as a lead back to the daring person who tried to take my woman, away from me.Then I picked up another document to work on.I completed my work earlier than usual, and the sun was still high up in the sky. Definitely, there was a possibility that Nadia’s course mates wouldn’t have been done with classes, as I had observed
NADIA’S POVI opened my wardrobe, and decided to re-organize it to another style, and it seemed like it was going to be so much fun while doing that. I needed to do something to occupy the time which I spend, just watching movies and a few more things that I got tired of.As I tried to reach out for a particular dress which had been hung the wrong way, something hard fell off to the ground, and hit my leg as well.“Ouch!” I winced in pain as I held my foot for a while.Then I picked up the book which fell down and opened. Merely looking at the book, it took me down the memory lane, and it didn’t feel really nice. It was a photo album of Derek and I, and the book had opened to a particular photo where Derek and I went to an art gallery, and also had fun. I walked over to the bed, with the photo album in my hands, and sat down, then flipped to the next page, and stared at another photo.These photos were all special moments, and it was kind of saddening to have believed that the kind o
NINA’S POV“Wow. What did you just say?” I questioned, in surprise as I shot up from my seat.“Nadia and Will currently have a misunderstanding. And with what I have heard, I don’t think this misunderstanding would easily die down, because of the evidences that are pointed wrongly at her.” Penelope informed, and let out a sigh.“That’s great news, Penelope! You know what, I’m going to send you a token for making my day, right now.” I let out an excited giggle, and hung the call.I sent Penelope the token I promised her, first, and then dropped my phone on the table. I stood up, and twirled around like a princess. This was the exact good news I had been expecting for a long time, and even as it felt as if it would never come, well, it did.I could imagine Nadia’s puffy face right now, and just wish I could pop up right in front of her, and lau
WILL’S POVI dropped the last document I was to attend to, on the table, and I checked the time on my wristwatch. It was thirty minutes after 7pm, and I needed to see a good worker of mine who fell ill, recently, and had not been to work for some days.I shut down my laptop, and picked up my phone and car key, then I heard a knock from the door.“Please come in.” I urged, then looked around to ensure I wasn’t leaving anything out.The company which I had ordered a particular medicine from, had sent their delivery man to me, and he handed over the package to me.“Thanks. Uhm… Wait.” I urged him as I reached out for my wallet, and offered him a nice tip.I had done that because he came right on time, and I loved his demeanor.“Thank you so much, sir.” He appreciated me as he bowed a little in respect, and walked out.&nb
NADIA’S POVI looked up immediately as I noticed Will’s presence, and regardless of the fact that he didn’t come home last night, I was still ready to explain things to him so the misunderstanding would die down as soon as possible.I walked up to him slowly, with a humble demeanor, and when I got close to him, the scent of a female, filled my nostrils, and I was left with a shocked expression. I shot a look of disbelief at him, and I felt something pierce into my heart, as it seemed as if Will had gone to feel better with another lady.My legs moved backwards slowly as I still couldn’t believe what was happening.“So, you didn’t come home last night because you went to spend time with another lady, right?” I questioned, softly, but my voice shook, giving out a sign that I was in pain.“No, Nadia. That’s not what happened.” Will defended as he move
NADIA’S POVI shut the door behind me, and sat down to watch TV.“On to my favorite show.” I spoke out, with excitement.My maid walked in and bowed humbly.“Would you love me to serve you a cup of coffee or tea, ma’am?” She inquired politely.“Uhm… I’ll prefer you give me, pineapple juice and some snacks to munch on.” I requested, with a slight smile on my face.“Right away, ma’am.”I focused back on the TV show, and was interrupted when my phone beeped. A text message came up, and I shook my head in disbelief, and then rubbed my eyes to be certain that I was seeing the right thing. I opened my eyes again, and it was truly Nina. Why would she try to text me? I opened her message, and it read:“I have something extremely important to show you, let’s meet. I’ll drop the address if you r
NADIA’S POVAll these were too much for me to comprehend. I shook my head in disapproval, and stared into Nina’s eyes.“All these can’t be true. You are probably mistaken. I trust Will. He wouldn’t do such a thing to me.” I muttered out, and straightened up my back in confidence.Nina laughed a little as if she was mocking me, then she inhaled sharply and exhaled.“Here is her address, Nadia. I understand you might be acting up because you don’t trust me or want to work with me, so you can track the woman all by yourself.” Nina said as she moved the address card.“Why should I? I said Will would never do that.” I retorted, with a confident look.“You are the one married to Will. So, you will be affected badly when this woman takes over.” Nina uttered, and stood up. “Don’t be so foolish, Nadia.” She added,
NINA’S POVSitting in my living room with a glass of fruit wine in my hand, and relaxing my head when I just accomplished something nice hit differently. It was so sweet to look at the disturbed expression on Nadia’s face. Even as she was too stubborn to admit to whatever I wanted to make her believe, it was obvious she would end up believing it, since they had a fight recently.At least, this was a seed big enough to stir up a fight between her and Will, and then I would be able to come in, little by little, without being sent away by Will. I chuckled triumphantly and sipped my wine again, heartily.Then I picked up my phone, and dialed Penelope’s number.“Why isn’t she answering her calls in such a wonderful moment?”I was about trying her number again when a knock came in on my door. I hoped it wasn’t my mother again or sort. I dropped my glas
NADIA'S POV.I walked back to the restaurant, smiling and greeting anyone who made eye contact with me. My joy was over the top. I couldn't help but express my happiness.It was a burning cauldron inside of him.When I got back to the restaurant, Titan and Anna were still talking, and laughing. It felt like they'd known each other for some time.I walked into the restaurant, and made my way towards them."Jeez, Alpha Titan was just telling me a funny joke. If you hear it, you'll burst into laughter." Anna said, vibrating with laughter."Okay… what's it?" I asked."Now, listen well. A duck, and a frog…" he began, and I paid attention, but by the time he was done, I burst into a shrill laughter I had fueled myself instead of Titan's joke.Anna had definitely fallen for Tit
NADIA'S POV.The next day, I went to Anna's room, and saw her scrolling through her phone, while she lay on the bed, with her back turned upwards."Hey." I called, with a smile, closing her door, and going to join her on the bed."Hey hey." She replied cheerfully, turning over, so her back was on the bed."What are you so engrossed in?" I asked, snatching her phone, and saw she was staring at the photo of a handsome young man."Woah. He's cool." I said, and she chuckled."Are married women allowed to say that?" She asked, and I laughed."What's wrong with appreciating beauty? You were doing the same thing, too." I shot back, passing her phone back to her, and she grinned."You know… there's actually someone who's as handsome as this. Maybe more." She said, biting the nail on her thumb.
NADIA’S POVThat night, I felt so good and relieved while I was on the bed with Will. To think that in the last few hours, I felt so depressed, and heartbroken. I didn’t know how I could live with the fact that Nina was going to die, and I wouldn’t see or hear of her anymore.No, it was best for her to be given the chance to atone for her sins, at least. And as her family member, I was the only one who could plead for her or make her freedom from death, happen. Will walked out of the bathroom, and cleaned his hair with his towel.“I hope you’re now satisfied, Nadia?” He asked, with a charming smile.I loved the atmosphere around. It was a light, and happy one. At least, our enemy was gone now, and we had given her a judgement that wouldn’t burden anyone. The only thing I hoped for was that she would learn her lessons, and turn a new leaf.
NADIA’S POV“Nadia, you need to stop brooding about this. It’s been two days now, and you aren’t eating as you ought to. All because of your half-sister who wouldn’t bat an eye if you were the one in that shoe?” Anna complained as she sat before me in the living room.She was right. Nina wouldn’t bat an eye if I were the one whose punishment was death. In fact, she would be happy that I was going to be killed, and therefore be out of this world, and her way of getting who she wanted, which was Will.But then, I wasn’t her. This is me, and I can’t bring myself to accept Will’s judgement. In fact, it was seeming more like Will had done something to ensure my calls wouldn’t get to him. Even Tristan wasn’t answering my calls, and it was certain it was on Will’s order, so I can’t blame him.I couldn’t even get angry
ALPHA WILL’S POVAs soon as we got to Los Angeles, I checked my wristwatch, and noticed I still had time, and I could even get to the hotel before the client I’m meant to see, arrives.I wasn’t meant to come out for anything regarding business because I had a lot going on which I had to settle, but this was really important.It was about a contract which we had once signed, but there was something that needed to be changed in some of the terms and conditions, and my presence and signature was needed before it could be processed.Well, it was also a good distraction to take my mind off the fact that I had ordered the guards to behead Nina. That was the most suitable punishment for her. In fact, if there was any other punishment worse than death, I would give it to her.She had made me feel a bit less of an Alpha because of the way she managed to play me, and made
NADIA’S POVIt had been two days since Will stayed in his study, thinking of the perfect punishment to give Nina. Although, he allowed me in whenever I wanted to check up on him, but he didn’t come to sleep in the room. He ate, drank and did everything in his study.He had said that it was until he thought of the perfect punishment that he would find himself worthy to sleep by my side, and do things with me. Although, I understood how bad he still felt when he found out that I was framed, and then he turned his back against me when the world did. It was more like he was beating himself up, and several times, I had told him I had forgiven him, and it was fine.Yet, he couldn’t bring himself to be with me.“Will, it’s time you stop beating yourself up on this. Her being in the dungeon is enough punishment for the atrocities she has caused.” I said to him as I looked
NINA’S POVWho would have ever thought that I would end up in a dungeon, in my life? Worse, a dungeon in a place where I have ruled as a Luna. Where I have been respected, and revered. Much worse, my mom was also with me in this dungeon.I could imagine my father shaking his head in disappointment at us. I didn’t listen to him when he pleaded for me to let go of the grudge I had on Nadia. But then, why did Nadia always have to pose as a threat to whatever I desire, or have?It wasn’t my fault that I tried several times to eliminate her. She had always made me uncomfortable, and I can’t keep on living in discomfort every single time.The dungeon was cold, and I stuck so close to the wall, wrapping my arms around my crouched knees. It was a bit dark, and spooky, making it certain that there could be spiders and some creepy crawlies. The thought that things that I h
ALPHA WILL’S POVI couldn’t believe my ears. So, all this while, I was being played by Nina, and she had her way at each stage she planned. It was so unbelievable that she could outsmart me, myself. How could all these happen, and I had no suspicion about this?It was so embarrassing as the memory of the time when Nadia was brought out to the meeting hall and was being interrogated, but nothing worked in her favor- came to my mind. Nadia had pleaded for me to believe her; although, she had no proof, but then, I ought to have been lenient.So, I played Nina’s pawn, and made my lover suffer all for nothing, and alone, all by herself. Anger filled me up like when water fills up a bucket to the brim. I got so furious that if it were possible, fire was going to flare out of my head, showing how dangerously angry I was.I slammed my hand on the table as I rose to my feet with a frown on m
NADIA’S POVSeeing as Nina was back, it was best to strike before she went out again. Judging from the past ways which Nina has worked, it was evident that she was the fast and smart type. Definitely, she was going to start planning something as she got home.So, it’s best for me to be faster and smarter, or I won’t know when all that I have planned would go down the drain, and she would again, win against me. As I woke the next morning, I immediately went to Will’s study as that must have been where he was, currently.If he was in his matrimonial bedroom, it would have been obvious. It’s either I hear him speaking out in anger to Nina, or he would barge out of the room. So, none of that happened for almost half an hour, last night.As I got to his study, I pushed open the door since it was slightly open, and I was met with his curious expression.&l
