Chapter 106 Epitome of strength MYSTIC SHADOWS FORTRESSArlo watched Jovy giggle at her phone screen. Despite going through so much in the expanse of a month, she looked more relaxed and calm now. It had been really hard to bring her out of her shell. The death of her unborn child and having to deal with an uncaring husband must have taken a huge toll on her. However, Jovy proved that she was and would always be an epitome of strength. She had gone back to her cooking class and tried to be more chatty. Thankfully, Amelia and Alice made it a point of duty to reach out to her and indulge in long conversations with her and that had also aided her healing process faster than expected. Not minding the fact that Logan has chosen to not be any part of her life as Jovy seem to have finally come to terms with the reality of her marriage life."Check this out, Arlo." She said to him, pulling him out of his reverie.Arlo blinked rapidly and tried to smile brightly. “Are you sure this casse
Chapter 107 A dying wish GOLD PACKEvery member of the Brown family and Gold pack looked gloomy with their eyes darting sorrowfully. Nadia sniffed and nodded her head gently as Xavier gripped her hand tightly in consolation. It was barely five weeks ago when she had discussed with Marcel, the longest conversation they have had since he fell sick.Nadia knew he might never recover but she just never thought Marcel would die barely months into his sickness. It saddened her heart knowing her brother was no more. Even though they didn't have the best relationship, she loves him dearly.The burial process had been witnessed by half of the members of Gold Pack and those who couldn't come around watched the live broadcast on their mobiles and televisions. Gold pack isn't much of a large pack but the unity and progressiveness attached to it, is all due to the foundation laid by Marcel's forefathers and himself before his early death.The pack members couldn't resist paying their la
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
