Bella's POV
Fun fact people: I wrote this chapter twice. I don't know how it happened but the first one got deleted and it took me like three days of lamenting, crying and throwing unnecessary tantrums about it before I could bring myself back to write it again. It might not meet your expectations but I hope it sends the right information across. Thank you.Adonis' POV
Bella's POVMinutes after Adonis left, I kept on asking myself if all that just happened was real or maybe it had been a dream as usual. I pinched myself, slapped my palms against my cheeks to try and wake myself from that dream but nothing works.
Bella's POV"I–– I didn't mean to leave" The hurt was evident in his eyes and I didn't know what to say or reply just to make him feel better."But you did," he concluded."I don't know you, Adonis, I don't even know who you are. You can't expect me to wait for a total stranger""You know who I am, Bella," he replied. His voice was higher this time."I told you everything the first night we met and you agreed""If I did, then why can't I remember anything? All I remember is your name and maybe your handsome face. Nothing more. I want to know what happened" I begged."I want to tell you as well. But
Adonis' POVAs soon as those words left my mouth, Bella sat frozen for a minute, she wasn't saying anything but the next thing she did was get up from her seat and walk out of the restaurant, leaving me shocked and confused."What happened, Adonis?" Marco walked over."Confession went wrong" I replied, trying to cover up the hurt I felt with pride."Then, go after her until she understands, Adonis" He persuaded me and I only shook my head."It's not necessary anymore. She left because she doesn't want to have anything to do with a monster like me""No man. She left because she was probably overwhelmed with the revelation. Imagine being a regular person an
Bella's POV"You don’t look good this morning, Bella," Dede said as I walked into the restaurant first thing the next morning."Blame that on my nightmares" I replied, almost close to tears.I was so exhausted I could barely feel my body due to my lack of slope the previous night. I'd woken up from a nightmare around one in the morning and I wasn't able to sleep back after that."Maybe you should take a break from work today" Dede proposed just as Eva had done and I refused her advice.I was too scared to stay alone at home. I didn't want to be alone to avoid Adonis completely. The fear of him showing up in my house was too much for me to risk. I don't want to see him yet so it'll be better to
Bella's Pov"I still think you should leave town, Adonis" We were back at the cafe shop, sitting at one of the tables, opposite to each other. He'd tried persuading me to forget about him leaving town."This man can come back anytime and the vibes he's giving are deadly. I don't like it" I replied worriedly."Stop worrying about me Bella, I'll be fine. The only person I'm worried about is you," He answered, confusing me."Why? He only asked about you. He wasn't interested in me" I explained."For him to come to you to ask about me, then it means he might target you if he's unable to get a hold of me"That just sends shivers of fear down my spine.
Adonis POVThe rain had started by the time we got back to Bella's apartment and for the first time, I used the door."I think this will be the first time you'll be using the door here," Bella exclaimed."Were you reading my thoughts?" I asked her and she smiled."You should use the door from now on," She demanded."I think that won't be possible" I winked at her and took a seat on their soda.I wouldn't possibly wait outside the door for her to open it when I know she was just inside and I could have access to her in seconds."You're a bad boy," she glared at me before entering her r
Bella's POV "Hey," I smiled widely as I spotted Adonis outside the shop already waiting for me. He was leaning against a Ferrari. Also, he was wearing sunglasses and was also putting on his dark ensemble outfit. Damn! He looked so good. "Hey," he moved closer and kissed my cheek. "Shall we?" I asked. He suddenly walked towards the car and opened the door of the Passenger's seat. "Is that your car?" I asked. "Yes," "I didn't know you own a car" "That's because I don't usually
Andro"Hello Andro, it's been a while, Boss" George mocked from the other end of the line."What do you want, George?" I asked him, acting indifferent"Guess who I have here with me," he asked."I'm not in the mood for your games, George. Go straight to the point""Your girl, Annika" he laughed hysterically, waiting for me to react rashly.The thing is, I knew Annika was with him. I'd instructed Annika to go with him while she was in my car earlier today. Even though she was hesitant about it, I assured her that she'll be fine. Adonis and Bella would be in the restaurant with her, disguising as the cook and his assistant."She has nothing to do with this, George. You need to let her go" I warned him."I need you to step down, Adonis. That throne rightfully belongs to me and me alone" He yelled."Fine, how do we go about it?" I
AndroHours earlierAnger surged inside of me as I marched out of Annika's room. That bastard has disguised himself as Nathaniel and still went on to make plans with my woman but I can bet that whatever his plans are will go down the drain."What's up with you? I can feel your anger from across the room" I didn't have to turn before I knew it was Adonis."Nothing you should concern yourself about" I replied."Even if I'm still mad at you for not telling me about Annika, I can't let this one slide. What's up?""I didn't mean to keep her from you," I replied honestly."I know you don't but the fact remains that I just got to know about her yesterday and you got to know about Bella just a few days after I'd met her""That was because you called for something, Adonis. If you hadn’t needed my help, you wouldn't have mentioned her to me"&nbs
Annika"What did you say I'll be doing here again?" Galina asked as she dropped from her car, in front of my parent's home"Moral support," I replied and winked at her.Andro had dropped me off a few minutes ago as well as the lawyer to the police station where he went to file the case. The lawyer told me it might not be easy since there was no medical evidence against my stepfather.After I mentioned that I'd gone to the hospital the first time it happened, he said he'll pull all the strings and get the reports out but for now, the evidence at hand was enough to get him arrested as well as my mother."What will you be doing
AnnikaThe bed was warm and cozy, so I snuggled into it and refused to open my eyes even when I felt Adonis kissing my shoulder. Last night was incredible, I was scared that I would've messed things up but when Andro took charge and made me take charge after, I knew this place was meant to be home."Open your eyes gorgeous," he kissed my shoulder yet again. I groaned before I opened them to see a shiny object dangling in front of me.I opened my eyes widely to realize that it was a necklace. I touched it and collected it from Andro."What's this?" I asked him, waking up properly."My family heirloom. I was my parent's only child before they died centuries ago when the vampires were under the serious invasion of hunters because our supposed to be werewolf king preferred to be an asshole and walk away from the pack leaving us vulnerable to hunters"I hummed."Why are
Andro"Annika,"I called out as she walked past me, tears rolling down her pretty face. What the hell could be wrong?I had come out from the garden to feed Raven when I saw her marching off."Annika," I ran after her hoping she'd stop once she heard her name but that didn't stop her. She was marching off as if she was mad about something.I threw myself in front of her, trying to stop her. She stopped in her tracks, looked up, and when she saw me, she tried moving away. I changed to the direction she was trying to walk and blocked her path."What's wrong Annika?" I asked her, holding her face in my palm."Nothing is wrong. Nothing else could be wrong other than you being a jerk, an asshole and a loser" she spat."What's going on? What did I do?" I asked. I know I've messed up by keeping my distance from her these past few d
Annika It's been a week since I last heard from Andro. The first three days of his absence were hell. I was so worried about him and scared as well. I called his phone several times and he didn't pick up which was unusual. Why act like I was the air you breathe one time and act like a stranger the next? I was gulping down the juice boxes I had stacked under my bed like ten times a day. My emotion was out of place and I could feel a conscripting pain in my heart every time. On the fourth day, I paid a visit to his place, and to my surprise, the gates were locked. I had no other option than to leave after waiting for several hours. There was no one I could talk to or call to ask about his whereabouts. I could feel myself drowning away with no other option in sight. It was at that moment of my life that I realized Andro w
AndroThe door leading into my office was forcibly opened and Igor walked in with two of his men, armed with guns.Raven was already fighting for freedom from her cage, it was already at alert anytime it sensed danger around me and her sudden interest in Annika is alarming."The fuck is going on, Igor," I asked, still calmly sitting."Why are you so relaxed, Andro? After what you did, why the fuck are you so relaxed?" He yelled, banging his hand on my table."You tell me why I shouldn't be calm. Because obviously, I shouldn't be when you're the one who barged into my office for unknown reason" I asked. Raven was flapping its wings against her cage, and also sending a series of images to my head.It was all that of her plucking out Igor's eyes or scratching the hell out of his chest till it gets to his heart.Raven can
Adonis The terrible beeping of my phone woke me up. Eyes still closed, I removed my hand from around Annika to search for the phone on the desk next to the bed. Once my hand touched it, I sat up on the bed and placed it in my ear waiting for whoever it was to talk and tell me what the matter was. "Good morning Andro," Shit! I promised to call Adonis later and I totally forgot about it. After Stefan had brought dinner yesterday evening. I tried waking Annika up to have some food but she insisted on sleeping rather than eating. "Good morning, brother. I should have called you last night. Sorry I couldn't get the chance to do that" I explained. "Hope everything is okay over there, Andro?" He asked. "Yes, everything is perfect. How's Bella?" I asked about his Emerthus. "That's the major reason
