It has been two days since the breaking incident. Rowan seemed to have gotten things under control but not in a very friendly manner.On Astrid's tablet, she watched the news about a group of thugs who were burned in a fire, after being brutally beaten. Their death was a tragic one since they were the same gang of thugs that had burned down the factory a week ago.She turned off her tablet, knitting her brows into a frown. She was displeased, not because she pitied them, but because their death was rather unsatisfying.Rowan came out of the bathroom just in time as she was about to leave the room."Where are you going?" he asked, trying his wet hair with a towel."I need to get some fresh air." she muttered, turning her back on him. He took three large steps, covering the distance between them and wrapped his arms around her waist, trapping her against his freshly showered body."What are you doing? Dry yourself up or you will catch a cold." she mumbled out of concern as he buried hi
The next morning, Astrid woke up designed with hickeys and bite marks. She felt so sore from last night's escapade. Rowan made a promise to trap her in bed and he fulfilled it just in a of dark pleasure.He was lying by her side, his right hand cupping her butt cheek as he was asleep. Astrid took her time admiring his godlike features and couldn't help the flutter that bloomed in her chest. He was gorgeous.Her skin flushed red from the naughty thoughts she recaped in her her from last night. Rowan had taken her rough and raw, making come countless times.She loved him, always did and doubted she would stop heart from exploding for this man that made her insides turn out.Subconsciously, she began to trace his facial features. First, she lined his brows, when down to his pointy straight nose and finally traced the lips that made her see a whole different universe in one night.He groaned from the effect of her fingers on his lips and sucked them into his mouth, shocking her in the p
A new beginning...The accident was too brutal. Rowan and Noah were able to be rescued but Astrid's body was nowhere to be found. The news about their accident had already spread across the country.And those dear to them were so devastated. No one could process what had happened. Everything looked like a perfect accident engineered by nothing but a natural cause.Rowan and Noah were rushed to the hospital and were announced to be in a coma.Everything happened so fast in a way that no one could understand. And that was the end of their perfect family.•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••One year later....Inside a light room, Luna opened her eyes, gradually processing her environment before her gaze landed on the man by her side."Luna, you are finally awake," he said, buzzing the alert button for doctors to come.Luna looked around silently, ignoring the man who had just spoken to her."Where am I?" she finally spoke up but before he could answer two doctors walke
At Wade corporation, everyone stood on their toes, trying hard not to step on their boss's shoes.Rowan had returned to his dark version of himself. Ruthless and cruel to those around him."What did I say about the about the chart growth?!" he barked at his employees, flinging the file in his hands on the presenter."Sir...""All of you are fired!" he declared, dismissing a whole production team.Ever since the accident, Rowan has been grouchy to others. He acted impulsively, grew angry at the slightest mistake and gave no second chances to anyone who failed to meet up to his expectation.He stormed out of the meeting room, Gilbert quietly following him behind until he got to his office door."You can leave early today. I will be working overnight," he grumbled before entering his office.Gilbert didn't bother stopping him because it would only get him in trouble. Rowan had returned to being a workaholic.Sometimes, he overstayed working hours until the next morning. He preferred stay
"What have you done?" Chef Gladine groaned in pain as she slides to the floor. Victoria stepped back, realizing what she had done in a fit of anger.She threw the blood stained knife on the floor, glanced at Noah before pointing her fingers at the Chef."You did this to yourself. I have no hand in this so find a way to fixed your mess," she blurted out with a trembling voice, before storming off to her room.The maids around rushed to Chef Gladine's aid leaving Noah behind.He had just witnessed his mother stab someone because of her hatred for him. The little boy felt broken from the thought and couldn't help but feel guilty for what happened to Chef Gladine.Even in the midst of castatsrophy, the little boy didn't let his fear consume him. He looked for the nearest telephone in the house, and called his father.Rowan answered instantly, knowing that it would be his son on the line."Hello, Noah. Is there a problem?" he asked with a gentle voice. Although, Rowan had lost his emotiona
"The treatment must go on," Scott declared with low threatening voice. His study room was gloomy, making it impossible for the visiting doctor to feel comfortable."But Sir, the treatment will only damage her brain more. She has suffered from a mild amnesia before. There is a high chance of her nerves breaking down if you persist with the treatment. As of current, no one has—" Scott cut him off rudely."Doctor Ray, haven't I given you enough money? Or do want more? I can top it to whatever amount you desire. All I want is for you to make sure she never regains her memory again." He looked at the doctor with a warning glare in his eyes, making sure that he understood his signals before he flashed a fake smile.The doctor was scared out of wits. He dared not go ahead Scott's command. Even if it was to the detriment of another person."I am glad that you understand my point of view, Dr. Ray. Now, if you would excuse me, I have tons of work to do," He said dismissively.Once the doctor le
Cheers to a new word count 🥳 I am so glad that my book has progressed to this extent. Stay for more chapters.The next day, at the Wade mansion, Victoria was excessively destructive. She broke a lot of expensive ceramic vases, ruined paintings while causing a nuisance that terrified everyone in the house.Rowan and Noah had slept at the guest house since little Noah couldn't fall asleep after having a terrifying experience last night. No one has told him about Victoria's attempt to hurt Noah but ended up stabbing Chef Gladine.When he walked into the main mansion, meeting the chaotic scene, his mood darkened with anger.Victoria was about to smash an expensive artifact that Rowan's grandmother had given him as one of the important heirlooms in the Wade family.He trudged over to her, grabbed her arm roughly, and prevented her from further destruction."Are you out of your godman mind?!" he barked, intensifying the atmosphere more.Victoria backed away from him with a scowl on her f
Victoria cackled diabolically after revealing the truth about Noah not being his biological son.For a while, Rowan suspected this but he loved Noah so much to bring himself to believe it."So what if he is not my son?" Rowan growled back at Victoria shocking her with his reaction. "No matter who birthed him, Noah will always be my son. He doesn't deserve a mother like you," Rowan said, making it clear to her that Noah belonged to him."Arghh! Why do you make everything seem like it's nothing? So you don't care about that bastard child not being your blood?" she scoffed in disbelief, frustrated by his nonchalant attitude."I don't. You and his bastard sperm donor abandoned him already. I have custody over him and will make him part of the Wade family, direct heir to my Empire," he said, taking menacing steps towards Victoria."You think I don't know about your plan to kill me and take over my property. You staged that accident didn't you?" He asked with an intimidating voice.Victoria
I am sorry guys, I will be absent from 3rd to 13th March. My law exams are starting on Monday. Wish me luck.•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••After Rowan and Noah returned to their units, Gilbert was relieved of the weight he had on his shoulder.Little Noah felt so sorry for causing him trouble and went on to apologize,“I am sorry Uncle Gil. I won't cause you any trouble anymore." Little Noah crossed his heart.“It's alright, Noah. You being safe is all that matters." He ruffled his hair gently then turned his attention to Rowan who has been brooding since he came into the room.“May I ask what is bothering you?" Gilbert moved over to his side while Noah sat in front of them, playing with his toys that were littered everywhere.“She doesn't remember him," Rowan said , his voice low and edgy.“It's not her fault. We don't know what must have happened to her over the years. She is just living her life as she believes it to be. The fact that she changed her name fro
Attention! Attention!! Attention!!!! read the author's note for vital information!!!!The next day, before Gilbert woke up, Noah had snuck out of their unit. Rowan had not come back to the unit last night and he found it difficult to sleep without his Dad.He strode down the hallway, hiding at a corner each time he saw a soldier. While roaming the long quiet hallway, he explored some units, checking to find his Dad in any of them. After he checked the rooms for an hour, he tiredly sat on the cold floor, his hands on his belly as it grumbled loud in the corridor.Noah hadn't eaten breakfast yet and all the walking around had drained his energy.He squat on the ground, hoping that his uncle, Gilbert will come find him anything soon.However, three hours went by and no one had found him.Unable to bear the pain that churned his stomach from the wickedness of starvation, he began to cry to alert others of his presence.Luckily for him, two female soldiers used the same corridor he wa
Luna gave him all her attention as he began to explain what had happened to her in the past. He started off by giving her a cup of black tea to calm her nerves down before he commenced his narration.“Seven years ago, you joined the military and got recruited to my team. Then I was your team leader. You were so eager about the military which wasn't something everyone looked forward to. I noticed how excited you got over a little mission and how you were determined to win every single one of them. You were like an untouchable star, Luna. However, things started to fall apart when you revealed your hacking skills to the military tech team. You were able to hack a strong firewall that they had been struggling for months to break. But just a simple click by you made everything we had planned possible. Everyone started to admire you. But things became worse for you. Each time there was a hacking task, you were called up to handle it. Then, there came the Rwanda rescue, the very mission t
Luna reluctantly stepped into her room. She ignored her husband's brooding anger and went into her bathroom for a quick shower.Scott waited even though he was angry, he gave her the respect and privacy she deserved.After a few minutes, she was done bathing. She came out in a white robe, her hair dripping wet against the marble floor.“You were saying something?" Luna dryly muttered. She was totally disinterested in what he wanted to say to her. She coldly stared at him, waiting for him to repeat his growling question.“Has something caught your tongue? speak up dear husband. What is your anger about?" She taunted him.Scott felt something was off with his wife's mannerisms. Naturally, she would have apologized to him and explained her whereabouts. But she did the exact opposite of what he expected.“Well, since you won't talk first, I will. My medicine, you had them altered, Why?" she asked.She went over to her drawer and pulled out the bottle of medicine he had altered.“You said
The next morning, Luna woke up late. She rushed out of her bed and dressed up for her morning run.Pulling her hair up in a loose ponytail, she began to jog through the morning cold dew.She ran towards the mountain road, determined to finish her run before breakfast.As she jogged up to a distance, she felt someone's presence behind her. She turned hoping to see who it was but found no one.“Good Morning, love." A male voice muttered, falling by her side as she jogged.Luna missed a foot, startled by his sudden appearance and almost hit the ground if he didn't catch her on time.“Be careful, missy. You might not be lucky next time," he said, holding tight with his strong hands.“Rowan? What are you doing here?" She asked, surprised to see him.“Came out for a run. I saw from the other side and decided to join you. Hope you don't mind me intruding your space," he said with a smile.“No, I don't. Us meeting out here is a coincidence." She detached herself from his grip that burned her
The night went slower than expected, Luna had to endure the long boring event while standing by her husband's side.Each time she looked up to the left side of the ballroom, she got a glimpse of the man she had talked to earlier.He had a woman by his side and she wondered if she was the person he had talked about.Whenever he noticed her gaze on him, she would quickly look away to avoid being caught.At midnight, the ball came to an end. Luna and Scott went back to their mansion located at the end of the military base. Since he was a General, A private house was gifted to him by his father.Once they got back to their house, Luna exited the car first and headed straight into the house. Scott followed her behind but stopped when she reached her room door. "Let's call it a night," she muttered, flashing a slight smile that didn't reach her eyes."Good night, agent Luna." He said, presuming that she was exhausted and decided to let her rest for the rest of the night.Luna entered her
Hi lovelies, I am so sick right now and barely able to do a thing. But I can't leave you guys hanging. Happy reading.•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••Luna quickened her steps as she trudged through the hallway. She was aware of the person following her behind.Once she reached the end of the hall, she took a turn and waited for her stalker.The moment he cornered the same way she had gone through, Luna grabbed him by his shirt. But her stalker was swift enough to calculate her move, trapping against the wall.She gasped at the force he used to pin her on the wall.“Don't move, I won't hurt you," her stalker breathed against her ear. She jolted from his deep voice that sent a shiver down her spine.Just the touch of his strong hands made her feel weak on her knees. The hot feeling from before raptured inside her like a wild fire set ablaze.“What do you want from me?" she asked, getting overwhelmed by their position. Her back was pressed against his belt. Sh
Hi, everyone, I know you all have been waiting for an update. I have not been feeling too well and have been preoccupied with too much school work. I need to visit my doctor for a checkup and get treated. please I hope you all can bear with me. Thank you 🙏."Agent Luna, thank goodness you are finally here. We are in a tight situation right now. Please, we need you to dissolve the matter outside before the General arrives," a comrade from Luna's squad said.Luna strode over to the commotion happening outside."What is going on here?!" she yelled at the top of her voice and everyone went silent."You there," she pointed at one of them. "What's the problem?" she questioned, narrowing her eyes in an intimidating way.The comrade lady shuddered under her menacing gaze. Without hesitation, she narrated the situation to her."Ma, This woman keeps insisting to see the General. According to her, she has an affair with the General, which we all know is impossible!" Luna looked at the woman af
The General led Rowan into his office, offered him tea which refused because he never consumed anything not made by his wife, Astrid or chef Gladine."Let's make things clear before anything else," the general said, pouring himself a glass of wine. He didn't bother to offer some to Rowan since he refused his tea. The General was petty when it came to little things like this. But only to others except his beloved wife, Astrid's cousin."I only granted your enrollment because my wife wanted it. She is the only reason why I am being of help to you. However, if you make things get out of hand, I will not hesitate to send you our of the base. Avoid the General Scott at all cost. I am not a fan of his. So, try not to get caught while getting back your wife," he said with a stern voice.Rowan looked at him unbothered about what he had just told him. He readjusted his sleeves and snatched the General's bottle of wine."You have nothing to worry about in my business. As for the scum who kidna
