LIAAs Johnny stepped further into the room, the dim light danced across his features, revealing an expression I couldn't quite decipher. "Lia," he said softly, his voice low and gentle. "I'm so sorry. I never meant for things to go this far."My mind reeled as I tried to process his words. What did he mean? What did he have to do with this?"Where's Kira?" I demanded, trying to keep my voice steady. "What's going on, Johnny?"Johnny's gaze drifted to the children, and for a moment, I thought I saw a flicker of genuine concern. But it was quickly replaced by a mask of indifference."Kira's...not here right now," he said vaguely. "As for what's going on...let's just say you're in a bit of a situation."A bit of a situation? That was an understatement. I was tied to a chair, my children were being held captive, and I had no idea what these people wanted."Johnny, please," I begged, trying to appeal to whatever humanity was left in him. "Tell me what's going on. What do you want?"Johnn
LIAA shiver ran down my spine, fear gripping me. This wasn't the Johnny I thought I knew. This was a stranger, a cold, calculating predator. The mask had finally fallen away, revealing the monster beneath. I stared at him, my mind reeling, trying to reconcile the charming, friendly man I had known with the ruthless manipulator standing before me. The realization was devastating, a crushing weight that threatened to suffocate me. I had been so blind and so naive. And now, I was paying the price.I sat there, frozen in shock, as Johnny's words hung in the air like a challenge. I parted my lips to speak but the words stuck in my throat. Johnny's gaze never wavered, his eyes boring into mine with an unsettling intensity. He seemed to be savoring my shock, my horror, and my surprise. The silence between us grew thicker, heavier, until it became almost palpable. I felt like I was drowning in it, suffocating under the weight of his betrayal. Finally, Johnny broke the silence, his voice l
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,

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
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
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
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
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
