EPILOUGEHalle Wilder ~•~“I’ve never been so happy in my entire life,” I muttered, biting my inner cheek to stop myself from smiling. Lucien smirked. “Are you sure?” I responded with a shrug. “I don’t know…but it’s so weird. Like how can my happiest day be the day you killed my father?” He chuckled. “I thought you disowned him a long time ago? You’re still referring to him as your father?” He asked, raising a skeptical brow at me. I scratched my face. “You know what I mean, Lucien. And yeah, I disowned him, but it’s still ironic how today is the happiest day of my life.” I replied, pushing his hair backwards. “The only person I have an ounce of sympathy for is Chloe.” Lucien sighed. “Chloe doesn’t deserve your sympathy. She was lucky I didn’t even aim the bullet at her head.” I let out a soft laugh. “I’m glad you didn’t. I still feel like my father manipulated her into doing all those things.” “Yeah, but it didn’t change the fact that she tortured you and also tried to kill y

Chapter 109Lucien Thorne ~•~My heart was pounding in my chest as my men and I surrounded Wilder’s house. It was an entirely different house and I was able to get access to it through my inside man in their town. I still couldn’t believe that they burned down the other house just to make it look believable that he actually died in the fire.I wanted to kill Wilder — quickly and quietly. After waiting for what felt like an eternity, the gates finally opened. But just as his car drove outside, I blocked the way with my car. A few of the men also blocked the way. Luckily enough, he didn’t come out with a lot of security. I killed the engine immediately and made sure my gun was loaded. Then I stepped out of my car and went to his car. The windows were rolled down.He was shocked to see me. And he also looked terrified. “What are you doing, Lucien?” He asked, trying so hard to mask the fear in his voice. “What is the meaning of this?” I could tell that the driver and the other

Chapter 108Halle Wilder ~•~When I confronted Lucien about it, a part of me hoped that he would say everything was a lie and Grimm was just bluffing. I just didn’t want it to be true. But my heart shattered when he admitted everything. It felt like the whole world was spinning. I had no idea where I wanted to go but I just wanted to leave his house. He was pleading but I couldn’t listen to him. I felt so hurt and betrayed. Ivy, who had been silent, finally came toward. “Halle, can I speak to you for a minute?” She asked, her voice barely audible. I wiped off the tears that had glistened on my eyes with the back of my hand. “What do you want to talk about? I’m not staying here.” I made it clear before going back to the room with her because Lucien had asked her to help him talk to me. “Just come here.” She took my arms. When we got into the room, she closed the door, folded her hands, and stared at me. “Girl, what are you doing?” She asked, her breathing shallow. My brows

Chapter 107Lucien Thorne ~•~Just when I was halfway to the house, my phone started ringing continuously. I glanced at it and saw Halle’s name flashing across the screen. I didn’t answer the call because I was driving. Well, that was just a silly excuse. The truth was that I was scared to pick up the call. I had no idea what she wanted to say, but I had a feeling that it was about the spell. I mean, what if Grimm had already reached out to her or something?The phone rang continuously. My throat tightened and I felt bad for ignoring her. After driving for a few more minutes, I decided to call her back. I was already going to the house where I would meet her in person, so there was no point ignoring her. I dialed her number and the call immediately went to voicemail. My breath hitched. Why wasn’t the call going through? Different thoughts ran through my head. Did she actually call me because of another reason? Was she in danger and needed my help? I could only hope I hadn’t

Chapter 106Halle Wilder ~•~When the call ended, Ivy tapped my shoulder. “Who was that on the phone? Why do you look so spooked? What did they say to you?” She asked, her voice thick with curiosity. I had no idea when tears started rolling down my cheeks. “Halle, why are you crying? Did something happen?” Her brows drew together as she leaned closer. I closed my eyes briefly, then I wiped off my tears with the back of my hand. There was no point in crying. At least, not yet. “It’s Lucien,” I muttered under my breath. “Lucien called you? What did he say?” I shook my head. “No, Lucien didn’t call me. Grimm called me.” I replied, breathing out heavily. “He told me that Lucien cast a spell on me just so I would believe that we are true mates.” Ivy didn’t respond immediately. She just stared at me in silence. I didn’t know how I felt about what Grimm told me. What was his motive? Why would he say something like that to me? I mean, I felt the connection…the bond with Lucien. Bu

Chapter 105Halle Wilder ~•~Ivy was meant to come over to the house to spend some time with me. I needed company or I was going to lose my mind. Not just the company, I needed my best friend. My eyes had been constantly darting to the clock on the wall, I was literally counting the seconds to when she would arrive. She told me that she was already on her way and I was too impatient to wait. But after about twenty minutes, I heard a knock on the front door. I stood up immediately and answered the door before any worker in the house could even realize that someone was knocking. My lips curled into a small smile when I saw Ivy standing outside. “Hey,” I said, pulling her into a warm hug. “Why are you acting weird?” She murmured on my shoulder, a hint of curiosity in her voice. I broke the hug and my brows knitted into a frown. “How am I acting weird? I’m just happy to see you.” She raised a brow. “Mhmmmm, okay.” She said as she closed the door. “I’m happy to see you too.” Soon

Chapter 5Tessa Ford ~•~ I shook my head. “No, I’m not signing the papers. I didn’t cheat on you. I have no idea where you got your information from, but you’re wrong!” The envelope fell to the ground but Grayson picked it up and tossed it on the bed. “I’m done talking, Tessa. I already have all the proof I need and nothing you say is going to erase everything I saw.” He said, his voice sharp. “Just sign the papers so we can get over with this shit.” This shit? I forced myself to hold back the tears that were threatening to fall from my eyes. “Can’t you see that someone is trying to come between us?” I asked, my voice catching in my throat. “I didn’t cheat on you. I would never betray you like that.” Grayson didn’t seem moved by what I had said. He was determined to believe whoever had fed him those lies. He couldn’t even give me the benefit of the doubt. He couldn’t even talk to me about it when he found out whatever he found. So for four weeks, he thought I was cheating on

Chapter 4Grayson Grant ~•~ I couldn’t believe that Tessa would look me in the face and constantly lie to me. For weeks, I had known about her affair, but I was too scared to confront her. I was scared because I didn’t want her to confirm the truth, it would break me. I had tried my best to move past it because I didn’t want our marriage to end. But I just couldn’t move past it. Tessa knew how much l loved her, she knew how much I adored our family, but she still went ahead to betray me. What she did hurt me badly, that was why I couldn’t even say what it was when she asked me what the problem was. It still baffled me that she tried so hard to act innocent, like she genuinely had no idea what I was talking about. Every word that came out of her mouth felt like another stab to my chest. I just couldn’t take it anymore, so I had to tell her the exact reason why I wanted a divorce.“You cheated on me, Tessa! That’s why I’m ending the marriage!” The words spilled out of my mouth b

Chapter 3Tessa Ford ~•~ “Lying to you for weeks? What are you talking about?” I asked, genuinely confused. I stared at him in anticipation, waiting to hear what he was about to say. Grayson scoffed. “You really want to act like you don’t know what I’m talking about?” He asked, his brows furrowed. I nodded. “Yes, if I have been lying to you for weeks, why didn’t you confront me about it? We always talk about our issues.” Now I understand why he has been acting weird, but I couldn’t recall lying to my husband about anything. He stood up from the bed and shook his head in disappointment. “We shouldn’t be having those kinds of issues in the first place.” He said, his voice stiff and cold. “What issues, Grayson? What are you talking about?” “Tessa, I’m not in the mood for all of this, I had a long night and I would love to rest.” He said, trying to end the conversation as quickly as possible. But I wasn’t going to let that happen. There was a problem and we needed to talk about

Chapter 2Tessa Ford ~•~ Vanessa? He missed our daughter’s birthday dinner just to go out with that woman? My leg was still glued to that spot as I tried to process what was happening. I still couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Grayson was unbelievable. My eyes burned with rage and I couldn’t even look at the screen anymore. His hands were on her fucking waist! Different thoughts ran through my head and I needed a minute. I turned off the television and grabbed a glass of water. The water didn’t even help to calm the storm that was brewing inside of me. A bitter laugh escaped my lips. “Of course, it was about another woman. His ex-girlfriend, Vanessa.” It felt like the walls were closing in on me and I pressed my palms against the kitchen counter, trying to steady my breathing. Even if the image of them replayed in my head, a part of me wanted to believe that it was just a friendly meeting and it didn’t mean anything. When we started dating, Grayson assured me that Vanessa

Chapter 1 Tessa Ford ~•~ “Where are you, Grayson? It’s almost eight and she has been waiting for you since five. Can you please pick up the damn phone?” I said through gritted teeth. The automated voice followed right after. “Your message has been recorded.” I hung up with a sharp exhale, tossing the phone on the couch. I couldn’t believe Grayson, it was our daughter’s birthday and he wanted to disappoint her. Grayson had been acting really weird for the past few weeks. At first, I thought it was just a phase because he was stressed with work. But I knew it was more than that when he started shutting me out, barely speaking to me, coming home late, and treating me like we were just strangers living under the same roof. I tried to be patient with him, I tried to talk to him, but he refused to open up about what was happening. Instead, he continued acting cold and distant. I just couldn’t believe that he would extend his harsh treatment to his daughter. “Mommy.” Raven’s soft
