Kira's pov“Any news yet?” I asked with raised brows, and worry etched over my face. I was overly confused, and hoped things were going to be better for me.“Not yet Kira, but my men are on it. We have searched some paths so far, but he hasn't seen to thread on any one close. I'm so sorry.”At his words, I fell to the ground, and started crying even more. My palm covered my eyes and I screamed at the top of my voice hoping things would be okay soon.He immediately stood up from his chair, and rushed towards where I was seated. The look in his eyes was that of care, and love.“We'll find him, I promise, and you'll be reunited again with your brother.”“Are you sure?” I asked, throwing my arms around him as I tried to maintain sanity. All I wanted was simple, and I hoped he was going to grant my request.“Yes I am sure. But you, you need to get some rest.”I paused, confusing etched on my face. “What do you mean?” I asked with worry, and he sighed.“I need you to actually do something f
Johnny's pov“I can't. I won't, and I will not take you back.” “But why?! You loved me. Look, I know I was wrong, I admit it now, but you can't possibly just leave me like this. I need you. None of those men entice me anymore. You the one I want.”“Really?” I asked with a hint of sarcasm. “Can't you read the picture on the wall, I'm in love with someone else Racheal, and I don't care how you see it anymore. I want you to understand that I have someone else, and that someone isn't you.” She frowned, and fell on me, exposing her laps, but I didn't care because nothing she was going to do was going to make me want her.“We can give this a try. Maybe try me for a few times, and if I pass, you'll take me. I mean, look at me,” she expressed, using her hand to show off her body. There was a smile on her face one that I didn't understand.“No. You're not being tried. Infact, I don't think there's anything I would want from you right now than you leaving my sight, and get off of me!” The las
Lia's povAs soon as he left, I didn't know what else to do about the whole thing. I was worried about the whole thing. I turned towards Maya who flashed me a smile. It was as though there was something on her mind. However, we still had a little bit of work and didn't have time to talk to her.I walked towards her, and grabbed her hand, pulling her close. “We are going to talk after work. Do you understand?” I asked with raised brows, and there was still that smile on her lips.“Yes yes, I understand. You don't have to scream it out. I know that there are a lot of things I need to make out for.”I rolled my eyes, and immediately left her there. As soon as I left there, there was an order that was supposed to be taken. Since it was a well-established restaurant, someone special came in last minute, and I needed to work late.“Hello sir, welcome to l’ scrumptious…”He smiled once he heard what I had said, and it was then I noticed he was really happy about what I had said.“Thank you.
Lia's povWe followed through the back door, but I still couldn't get my kind off that stranger. Was she right? Did I have some kind of charm that made me come after me? But if it was supposed to be so, how was Levi not able to stay with me till now. He still saw me as though I wasn't really important?Why did he look at me as though there was something else that was going on. It was as though he knew me before, and was just trying to make me remember him.“Why are you so lost in thoughts my friend?” Maya asked with a smile on her face. She was worried about the way things were, and it seemed as though she knew I was in thoughts.“The man from earlier,” i answered as we strolled by the pavement.“Well, don't tell me you're starting to think about him just because he offered you dinner. I mean, there are so many things that you should have in mind rather than trying to make things harder than they already are.”“Really? He just made me feel so strange. I don't love him, Maya, I'm only
Lia's povWe got out of the vehicle and were shocked that things were awkward. Once the cab driver had been paid, she dragged me into the big store and smiled.“So what kind of clothes do we get you?” She stared at me, but then one of the attendants quickly walked up towards us. She had disdain in her eyes, and the way she stared at me especially made me feel strange.“I'm sorry are you supposed to be here, or you walked into the wrong store? Where you are both supposed to shop is the thrift store. That's if you're been able to afford it.”Maya gasped, but I remained silent.“How dare you talk to us that way! Why are you judging us based on our looks? Don't you know we are capable of busting the entire shop?”The lady immediately scoffed at me, and I did not want trouble. I tried my best to ensure that we had left the place, but Maya was willing to show off.“We aren't going anywhere. We are going to prove to this woman that we can shop here. Bring out the card.” She explained, urging
Levi's pov “Still no news on Kaiden and I was getting really worried. I didn't even know where to start from. Kira was getting more, and more depressed everyday, and it was weird that he left without a trace. What exactly was going on.As I pondered, walking around in my office, I received a call from one of my friends. He was really bothered about the whole thing, and was always telling me that things were going to be all right. I didn't even know whee to start from. It was really strange to understand how everything was going to work, but I know it was going to.“Alpha we have found him, but there's sometimes you need to see,” he explained, and left me pondering on what they could have seen that caused them to act that way. I immediately grabbed my keys, and whatever I needed to meet them, heading their way which caused me to be unhappy. I really wanted to know what would happen. It was as though things were only going to get even more complicated.I immediately stood up, and trie
Lia's povWe went to a simple restaurant to have our meal, and it was so delicious. I was happy with what I had gotten and didn't even want to complain about it.“What's the matter with you?” I asked with raised brows, and Maya furrowed her brows.“Me? Why are you asking me that?” She added, and I suddenly burst into laughter. The way she stared at me was so strange that I had to even laugh because she was looking so funny.“You still don't get the joke do you?” I asked, and she furrowed her brows, still really confused.“You shouldn't do that. That wasn't a joke. I thought you were mad at me. I haven't seen you so seriously before. You're most times serious, but this time, you had me fooled.”“So where are we going next?” I asked and was shocked at the way she was staring at me in confusion. I was sure there were a lot of things to worry about. My hands were shaking, and I wanted something to make me feel better about the things going on.“Hmm, with the way you scared me, I'm going t
Lia's povWhatever it was was given in a small glass which Maya called a shot glass, and the content seemed as clear as water. However, it had a strong smell.Maya picked hers up and down the content at one, showing satisfaction afterward, which made me eager to try. However, I didn't know if I were to call that a mistake, or something else because it tasted really strange.As soon as I gulped it down, it left a burning sensation on my tongue and throat, and I started coughing so hard that Maya started patting my bacon. She knew that I was going through a lot at that moment.“Oh Gosh. I knew you wouldn't be able to take something like this, and that's why I asked you not to take it in the first place. There's a stronger one, and it takes nicer, too.” I raised my head with a frown, my eyes already red. I didn't know whether to trust her, but then It was better if I did because she indirectly warned me about the first one, but I refused to listen.“Are you sure you're fine?” She asked
LIA TWO MONTH LATER I stared through the window to see the kids playing around with kids of maids in the house and it's the most beautiful thing I've seen. After everything they went through two months ago they were pretty outgoing except for Nora She sat at the water fountain watching them with her drawing book and a pencil in her hand. She hated playing with anyone for long and she started drawing on walls before we found out and got her the book After moving in here two months ago I accepted the fact that this wasn't Johnny's home anymore it was ours, he might have lived here once but all his memories had died after he did what he had A knock on the door caught my attention "Come in" I turned away from the window to look at who it was and saw Fiona - a maid with a tray of breakfast "oh, you really didn't have to do this " I reached to reduce the workload on her hand before setting it down "He didn't want the kids disturbing" She brimmed and look to the door to see Levi in an
LEVI As I held Lia close, I couldn't shake off the feeling of guilt and responsibility that washed over me. I should have been there to protect her, to prevent this from happening. But I was too late. The damage was done. All I could do now was try to make it right, to help her heal from the trauma she had endured. I looked down at Lia, her eyes closed, her face pale and drawn. I could see the fear and anxiety still etched on her face, even in sleep. I knew it would take time for her to recover, to feel safe again. But I was willing to do whatever it took to help her, to support her through this difficult time. I gently stroked her hair, trying to comfort her, to reassure her that she was safe now. The police were still processing the scene, taking statements and collecting evidence. I knew there would be a long investigation ahead, but for now, I just wanted to focus on Lia, on helping her to heal. As I stood there, holding Lia close, I couldn't help but think about how fragile lif
LEVIThe news hit me like a physical blow, a wave of nausea washing over me. Lia. And the children. My heart hammered against my ribs, a frantic drumbeat echoing the terror that clawed at my throat. I had to find them.I called the police, my voice trembling as I relayed the details. Then, I raced to the park, every sense on high alert. I searched frantically, my eyes scanning the ground, the trees, any sign, any clue that might lead me to them.And then I saw it. A small, almost imperceptible glint of metal on the side of a nearby building. A CCTV camera. A flicker of hope, a lifeline in the sea of despair. I might have heard from Ella but I don't trust herI rushed towards the building, my mind a whirlwind of frantic thoughts. I had to see the footage. I had to know what happened.The building manager, a kind-faced woman, looked at me with concern when I explained the situation. My position in the community, as a well-respected businessman, thankfully, carried weight. She immediatel
LEVI "Any luck yet?" Sir James asked as I stepped into the room and all the elders turned to looked at me "You look absolutely horrible" Sir Felix said and I tried to push out a smile but it was impossible I felt how I really look like. We still going find Lia anywhere. The mate bond was messing with my head as I can really no longer function correctly "There's none" I looked up to Sir James and he gave a sad smileEven if some of the elders hated then the idea of Lia coming back they knew too well that it was a bad idea to tip me off in this stage. Johnny and Kira were also now found and Ella was found in the hospital with a head injury but she was still unconscious "Go to the hospital, Levi. Hide your real identity and go and meet Ella. She was also one of the kid's baby sitters and she might be the answer we all need at this point" My spine straightened as that got my attention knowing it might be true Nana was questioned and the poor woman was now scared to death but Ella on
JOHNNY I looked at her shiver as she held on to the kid with all her heart. It was a cute way but my wolf was inching for blood to be drawn, Lia's blood precisely and then the kids and absolutely no one will know because they are down here Out of everyone elses reach. The excitement I felt within the dept of my stomach couldn't possibly be described I knew the kids had been given a new dosage of drugs when I had picked them from the room which meant they will be asleep got forty eight more hours which gives them a peaceful death Too bad but Lia on the other hand "What do you want?" She asked with her body trembling with fear and if my joy wasn't in excess before then it was now "You""Johnny please spear them, they are just kids. If you're worried about their memories of you and revenge then you don't have to worry because they are just kids in a matter of months they will forget about all of it" Tears rolled her eyes and I stood up from the chair I was sitting on "That doesn't
JOHNNY My plan has come to end and everything went as planned. Kira sad on her way to Levi and I had Lia and the kids with me just like I wanted. I looked at my computer to see her tied up in the corner of the cell I guess it's time I pay a visit to someone. Twisting my lips into a smirk I got up from the chair and went downstairs to meet her, the place has been silent ever since she murdered Ella It had taken me completely by surprise that she would kill her but after I watched the footage I was convinced otherwise and left speechless, how could I not love a woman who could defend herself against anyone except meI pushed door open and she lifted her head from the cell to look at me, her eyes burning with fury and though her face had a trace if purple and a bit of swelling due to fighting with the guards, this woman had never looked more beautiful "You aren't eating" i muttered as I opened the door and stench on blood and food filled my nostrils but I ignored it and walked in"An
LEVI My phone rang in my pocket and I ignored it like I had done the last thirty minutes. I hated that I felt so hopeless about the situation, the phone rang again and I groaned in frustration to see that it was my Beta "What is it?""She's no where to be seen. I have locked the beta of the back like you have said there's no one important anymore. What's the next line of order?" I remained quiet as disappointment crashed against my heart "Go home and rest, let everyone hurt het medical attention.""You're giving up?""Do as you're told, don't question me" I hung up before he got the chance to say anything and I stepped into the car to sit down Even if Kira had left an hour ago I had stayed behind and fought ten different people who obviously wanted to kill me because of Johnny but honestly didn't know where to do check anymore I have warriors searching every edge of this place and no one has found anything, the only trail being Nathan was gone. His scent was enough evidence for m
LEVII sat in my office and the files that were staring back at me were about to really get burn. Nothing else matter to me, it's been a month and I still couldn't find her or the kids. Business was completely trash and I have every single investor and shareholder I've known withdrawing each day My phone buzzed on my table which made me startle a bit and I let out a heavy sigh before I picked the phone"Having fun on your search?" The sound of the modulator sent a chill down my spine and anger spiral up my throat "Joh... Anthony whatever fucking war we have between us leave them out if this!""Who's Anthony?""Don't play dumb with...""Lia is a bloody mess and the kids are dead" My spine jerked up and my heart flew out of my buddy as a chill air made me freeze "That's not pos... Hello? Hello!" I looked at the screen to see that he was hung up and called him again "The number you're trying..." I threw the phone across the room as I heard the customer care line No, no, no, this can
LIAI stared at Ella, my mind reeling with questions, my heart heavy with sorrow. She didn't seem to notice, her expression unreadable. "Ella, please," I whispered, my voice cracking. "Tell me what's going on. Why are you here?" She didn't respond, didn't even flinch almost like she didn't know who I was and this was her first time seeing me. It was as if she was a statue, a mere shell of the person I once knew. I felt a chill run down my spine. What had they done to her? Had they brainwashed her, manipulated her into betraying me? The thought sent a wave of nausea washing over me. I struggled against the restraints, desperate to break free, to escape this nightmare. But they held firm, biting into my skin like cold metal teeth. Ella's gaze flickered to the children, and for a moment, I hoped to see a glimmer of recognition, of compassion but I saw nothing but blankness. But it was quickly extinguished, replaced by a mask of indifference. "They're fine," she said, her voice flat,
