Chapter 108 He has a daughter GOLD PACKNadia sighed as she stuffed her clothes into a traveling bag. She hated packing. She would have called unto one of the maids to help with it but it would be too much of a hassle for her to start instructing whoever she calls on what and what not to pack. She huffed.Nadia sat back down in exhaustion, feeling the need to leave the pack house. She had scheduled a lunch meeting outside the pack to meet up with her daughter and grandchildren. It's the only thing she gets to do aside taking care of her brother who is now dead. It tired Nadia out that despite Marcel's death, she is still saddled with running errands on his behalf.Picking up her car keys, giving her scattered bag one last look and she headed out of the room. Nadia hoped that she would return with a different energy that would prompt her to do the needful. She almost bumped into Xavier on her way out."Aunt.” Xavier mumbled as he held her by the arm. "Are you okay? Where are
Chapter 109 The Slip Off MYSTIC SHADOWS FORTRESSKyrian watched as Logan fussed over the documents on his table, mumbling incoherent words to himself. The moment Logan had arrived looking like a sour ball, Kyrian knew the day would only have to be saved by a miracle to not end up being disastrous."What exactly are you searching for?" He asked.Logan hissed out loud as he facepalmed himself. "I forgot the document for the contract deal we are to have with the Arabian company at home."Kyrian stared at his wristwatch instinctively. They have less than an hour to get the meeting started and one thing about these new partners of theirs; they don't take lateness or clumsiness lightly. Logan kept muttering profanities that weren't so colorful to the ears. Kyrian was surprised at how clumsy he had become all of a sudden."What do you intend to do now?" Kyrian asked."I can't have any of us go back home, knowing when they come around they would like to see the both of us on seat. So
Chapter 110 Point of realization MYSTIC SHADOWS FORTRESS THREE WEEKS LATERJovy sat up on the hospital bed waiting for Arlo to finish up with the paperwork to take her home. She has been trying really hard to hold back the tears threatening to fall, most especially she wouldn’t want Arlo to meet her in such state but they keep coming. Her tears isn't that of sadness but of anger and frustration and the thoughts swirling in her head made her feel dizzy. It had taken her a second shot at death to realize that it was time to get a life and move on from her misery.For three weeks, Logan didn't bother to call or visit her at the hospital despite him being the reason she ended up at the verge of death. His excuse as Jovy had heard from Arlo was that she wasted his time by not sending the file in quickly. So he acting unconcerned about her predicament was his way of punishing her.Before now, whenever Alice, Amelia and Arlo bring up the topic of her leaving Logan, Jovy h
Chapter 111 The Dictator GOLD PACKHanging up the phone in excitement, Amelia almost jumped out of her skin when she turned around to find her mother staring at her keenly. Ava stood in her intimidating frame with her arms folded against her chest."You scared the living daylights out of me mom, what is all of this about?" Amelia hollered at her."Who were you talking to on the phone?"Amelia couldn't resist the urge to scoff at her mother's face. Ever since she had allowed her back into her life, Ava has been trying to act her bossy self which doesn’t sit well with Amelia. After Amelia had heard from Jovy as told by Alice that Ava had become a laughing stock at the Midnight pack, she couldn't just leave her by herself. After doing all she could to find her, Ava finally joined her at the Gold pack. Despite everything that had happened to her, Ava still wasn't over her usual attitude which only puts Amelia on the edge. She wasn't interested in letting her mother control her life l
Chapter 112 A New Life GOLD PACKJovy inhaled the nice air that Gold pack emitted, she could almost envision herself doing great things in the pack and her life taking a new turn. For the first time in her eighteen to almost nineteen years of living, she made a decision on her own. A life changing one at that.Days back when she had revealed her intentions to Arlo to prevent her from changing her mind, Arlo had insisted Jovy leaves the house the same day she got discharged from the hospital. Lodging her in a hotel and inviting Alice over and the two nights she spent there were the best moments of her life. Alice couldn't help being herself and she made it all fun for them.After deliberating with Arlo and Alice, they also thought it would be better for Jovy to be away in an unfamiliar place. That way it might be hard for Logan to find her, that is if he ever bothers to look for her. Luckily, Amelia is just the right person to call.Alice had insisted that Arlo make the call
Chapter 113 The Journey GOLD PACK FEW MONTHS LATERNadia sighed tiredly as she looked out the window of the restaurant. She glanced at her wristwatch again, it's unlike Anastasia to be late. It has been ten minutes since Nadia arrived to their usual meeting spot and she still hadn't called to cancel or arrived yet. She was famished and would have ordered but didn't want to yet until her daughter arrives. The kind waitress that had been assigned to attend to her table came again. Nadia couldn't help but notice how beautiful she looks."Jovy." Nadia muttered at the tag on the waitress chest. "You have a nice name." She noted.Jovy smiled. “Thank you ma'am. Would you like to order now?"Nadia shook her head. “Not yet, I would like to wait for my daughter to arrive.""Alright then, call me when you need me." Jovy said before turning away.Nadia caught sight of a dark mark peeping underneath the shirtsleeve Jovy wore but it was so evident. Her thoughts got divided when
Chapter 114 Chef Jovy GOLD PACKJovy hummed delightfully as she prepared herself for work. Never would she have imagined freedom to feel this good. All the time she had worried over what will become of her when all that was needed was a leap. It has been a good ride ever since she started working at the restaurant alongside Amelia. Aside Ava whose hatred seem like it wouldn't simmer down anytime soon, everything else was fine. Also, Arlo and Alice are coming to spend the weekend with her. Jovy felt like her insides would burst with joy.Picking up her bag she headed out of her apartment to flag down a taxi to get her down to work. She got to work just in time for the restaurant to open to customers. Being a kitchen assistant and waitress does have its downsides as regards stress but she didn't mind. Every process was fun, the more she learnt the basics of the restaurant the more she gets better in the art. She was more excited because today was her last day at work before h
Chapter 115 The Birthmark GOLD PACKNadia looked deflated as she sat down in the restaurant looking around. It was just a minute past noon and she already wanted to retire back to bed. The pressure was becoming a bit too much for her to bear. The pack house doesn't exactly seem peaceful like it should. The time she gave the pack council and Xavier had lapsed.They are beginning to doubt her words since she has nothing to show for the delay. However, Nadia wasn't about to drop her last option yet. Even though she had been coming around to the restaurant for two days without setting her eyes on Jovy. The other days had been used to observe her and be sure she wasn't about to make a mistake. Despite the long rides and having the choice to stay at Anastasia's instead, she wasn’t ready to give up yet.Nadia decided it was best to satisfy her curiosity first before telling anyone about her thoughts. Scanning the restaurant with her eyes, Jovy still wasn't in sight. Today, nothing
