WILL’S POV

My eyes fluttered open as the warm sunlight shone on my face, then I turned to look at Nadia. She was sound asleep, just like a baby. It was challenging to comfort her yesterday, but thankfully, she was able to fall asleep in my arms.

So, I decided to take her out of the house, to fun places, just so she could feel better, and get her mind off the pain. I picked up my phone, and checked out places we could go out too, just so her mind would be occupied, and while I was scrolling through my phone, she moved, and I knew it was about time she woke up.

Just as I expected, she yawned, and slowly opened her eyes, but she didn’t sit up like she would, before this incident happened.

“Good morning, angel.” I greeted her, with a smile on my face.

“Good morning.” She responded, dully.

I sighed, and clicked my tongue as I compiled the list of places, I wanted us to go to, then I turned to her.

“How about you get prepared. Let’s go on an outing.” I said to her, trying to spark up the su

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.

    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

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

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

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

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

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,

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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 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.
