Chapter: Chapter 95Larissa's POV For a second, the entire courtroom looked like a paused movie.Nobody moved.Nobody breathed.Nobody blinked.Nobody seemed to believe what we had all just heard.Then Judge Henderson stood so fast his chair screeched “Miss Knowles, you will be escorted by medical staff and court officers to ensure that evidence is retrieved with no interference.”Londyn shrugged. “Fine by me.” Then instead of leaving, she walked towards me. “Hey. I’m going to need like... prune juice money. This... evidence is not going to come out without a fight.”A strangled noise clawed out of my throat. I wasn’t sure if it was a sob or a laugh. This entire thing was all so ridiculous, I couldn’t even begin to wrap my head around it. So I just stared blankly at her like an idiot.Brayden’s hand closed around my elbow, steadying me. “Breathe.” He murmured, then reached into his pocket, took out his wallet, and handed Londyn his black card.She whistled. “Well, damn. I’m going to buy the good prune

Chapter: Chapter 94Larissa's POV Morning came too quickly.I woke up with my arms wrapped around Londyn, the comforter tangled around both of us. For a moment, before the weight of everything settled into my chest again, I let myself simply watch her breath.We had fallen asleep mid-conversation last night most of our talks revolving around unimportant things like. I had done most of the talking because her throat was still sore from all that she’d endured. But from what she’d offered up and the short conversation Stephanie and I had had when we’d bumped into each other in the kitchen sometime around midnight when we’d both coincidentally come down from a midnight snack, Londyn had endured a lot.She had spent ten days in that bathtub. Without food. Without water. Without knowing whether she’d live or die. And she’d come so close to dying too, because the human body was not made to go that long without water. Food, maybe. But ten days without water was a stretch. It was a miracle she even survived at a

Chapter: Chapter 93Narrator's POV Londyn froze.Not because she wasn’t terrified anymore. She still was. But because she recognized the girl standing in the doorway of the bathroom.Stephanie. Lara’s sister.Londyn had never met Stephanie personally, but she recognized her from seeing her in court multiple times, and judging by the way Stephanie had always glared at Benjamin with unadulterated hatred, it was fair to say that Stephanie wasn’t here to kill her.Her breathing stuttered, but the frantic bucking stopped. Her eyes stayed wide and glassy, but she wasn't fighting anymore.Stephanie patted herself down frantically. “Shit! I don’t have my phone.”Scott, still with his sleeve pressed to his bleeding nose, stared at her incredulously like she was the disappointment of an entire generation. “I thought all teenagers were surgically attached to their phones.”“That is just a cliche and also…”“Stephanie, now’s not the time to argue.” Scott cut in sternly. “My phone’s in the car. We can use that. Go g

Chapter: Chapter 92Narrator's POV The night Londyn refused to lie for Benjamin was the night everything went to shit.It started in Benjamin’s home office when he’d discovered her snooping. And maybe that could have been forgiven, but when he’d asked her to take the stand and commit perjury, and she’d refused, Benjamin had realized that his fiancée’s loyalty lay elsewhere.He couldn’t have her destroying everything he’d worked so hard to build. So he’d dragged her down the hallway, shoved her into her wardrobe — the closet was too spacious for traitors — and slammed the door shut before she even had time to react.The lock clicked into place. Her heart thudded wildly as she thrashed around and screamed for help.She soon realized that no one was coming to save her. But what she didn’t know was that someone had come to look for her.After Londyn didn’t show up at the meeting place she’d scheduled in her note, Larissa had come looking for her. Benjamin had spun some story about her being on a trip and sh

Chapter: Chapter 91Brayden's POV I tried not to check my phone again.I really did.But I'd already lost count of how many times I'd glanced at the screen, convinced I must have somehow missed a call or a message. The notification bar was still the same — emails from my assistant, two calendar reminders, and a couple of news alerts. No update from Scott. No text from Stephanie. Not even an accidental butt-dial. Just silence.Scott and Stephanie had been gone for longer than planned. Logically, I knew Scott could handle himself. He wasn’t some rookie. He’d been a private investigator for years, and before that, he worked briefly in security. He was steady, level-headed, and the opposite of reckless.So objectively, there was no reason to worry.Subjectively, though?I was one missed call away from pacing a trench into the hardwood floor.But I kept my mouth shut, because Larissa was alright today. Her anxiety wasn’t gone, but it wasn’t at the forefront of all her actions. She’d had her anxious moments,

Chapter: Chapter 90Larissa's POV Two days later, Scott was back.He arrived right before breakfast. The estate was unusually quiet. Gwen was still in bed, nursing a hangover and I suspected that she'd probably be there all morning. Claire was propped up in her high chair, face already stained with the strawberries I had cut up for her. Brayden was at the counter trying to decide just how he wanted to make the pancakes that morning.It was all very domestic.“Alright.” He began, setting his briefcase down on the table. “I’ve got the results.”Brayden straightened. “And?”“I’ll start with what we do know.” He said. His tone was calm and deliberate; the way doctors sounded when they were about to deliver something that was technically hopeful, but not really. “I had them run the test twice just to be sure. The blood sample from the note was a 61% match with Larissa’s. Seeing as the average DNA shared between siblings is 50%, that tells us that the blood is definitely Londyn’s.”Brayden nodded slowly. “We

Angel Dragovich.
The ruthless head of House Dragovich—dangerous, sinfully magnetic, and calculative. He wasn’t part of her story before—so why was he here now?
………

Chapter: Chapter 146ADELE'S POV“I do not understand why you've got to be the chief bridesmaid Adele, you should be resting and not roaming around with flowers!” Camilla said in frustration as she made my hair into a tight bun. We were getting late for the wedding and that was because of me, I woke up a bit too late and no one certainly was willing to disturb the wife of their boss despite the occasion of the day.“Not so tight, my head's gonna explode!” I said to Camila, gently freeing my hair of its tight grip, she certainly had gotten extremely tired of me and my demands, but that only was the beginning, we would be playing the bridesmaids role together.“Excuse me, why am I here again?I do not even know the bride!” She added in a bit of frustration.&

Chapter: Chapter 145ERIC'S POV“I do not deserve this, none of this!” I yelled out, clenching my fist tightly as I stared towards Adele. I had tried my best, I had begged her to the best of my abilities but she certainly wasn't willing to help. I felt cheated and mostly humiliated, no way I was supposed to be locked down in here, if only I was able to run off before Angels men arrived at my house. If only they had waited for at least 10 minutes, I certainly would have been long gone.I had hurried over to my place to get a few of my things before i left town, i certainly wasn't expecting sergio to die so easily, he had assured me to sit back and watch him take over from Angel which i had excitedly done, i felt kidnapping Adele would work just fine this time around considering Angel was madly in love with her, all I had to do was give Sergio the advice which he thought useful and then sit back and watch

Chapter: Chapter 144I woke up with the most horrific headache one could ever think of. I laid on the bed most of the night, although I couldn't sleep. I watched Angel hover around in the room dozing off at a not so regular interval. For a moment, I thought of sitting up and letting him know he needed to sleep considering I was okay, but that only meant making him worried. He was gonna worry more about why I wasn't asleep. I watched him come closer, tuck me into the duvet and kiss on my forehead, not once, nor twice. I felt so lucky to have him around.A part of me still couldn't wrap my head around the fact I was in love with this mafia boss, the same one I swore I wouldn't rest until I saw his end. The same one whose presence gave me shivers, not due to love but fear, but now I found myself only being scared of losing him. I now was accustomed to his life, I actually had learnt to love him for who he was and whatever he did. I tried to bru

Chapter: Chapter 143ANGEL'S POV I waited for Joe's arrival at my office desk after calling for him earlier. He took a little while before he arrived and I would have been pissed about that, but decided not to. I rested my head into the chair, swinging back and forth and trying so hard not to doze off, but then my door creaked open.“Go get Eric!” I simply said not bothering to lift up my head. I had handled the big frys and was gonna leave the rest to Joe. “Alive!” I added. “Sure thing boss!” The door slammed closed after a short while and I laid still, my mind distant. I had given Yuri lots of privileges, majorly because I feared if I had hurt him Adele wouldn't be cool with that, but he lost it all when he took the hands of Sergio, when he decided to work against my clan. He certainly had some nerves considering how pitiful he had looked from the beginning, I never would have assumed he would do a thing of that extreme. First I let him be even though I was quite aware he walked hand in hand with Yur

Chapter: Chapter 142ANGEL'S POV The street leading to the Moretti's home was a bit crowded as a crowd of excited looking clan members hovered around in the street, I guess it was some form of celebration. The Mafia's overall power had shifted into their hands so it was a good thing they decided on some sort of celebration, quite sure they hadn't realized they was no boss taking over my position, I needed to finish up whoever may be next in line or whoever may think to take over from Sergio, no one dared take away my property. The gates were wide open and I drove straight in. I picked my guns up and didn't bother hiding any of them as I walked straight into the building. I paused looking back towards the direction where the sound of music buzzed out loudly, it seemed to be at the back or maybe their garden section. I took out a cigarette from my pocket and lit it on as I walked further towards the crowd, only a few cared to cast a glance my way, they all seemed carried away with the party. My eyes met wi

Chapter: Chapter 141ANGEL'S POV I laid on the ground, my heart pounding rapidly and my eyes almost fell off from its socket in disbelief. I had just watched Adele do the unthinkable, I didn't want to believe and I guess she also didn't want to as we both threw glances at each other. My whole body was sore but I managed to pull myself up sitting as I still stared at the dead bodies laying right on the ground. Adele flung the gun out from her hand into the ground as she screamed out, her voice trembling, her heaves coming out loudly. She rubbed her palm continuously on her dress like it would erase the fact she had just shot three people. I painfully got up on my feet as I walked towards her, she had moved a few feet backwards and her back was now pressed against the balcony.“I just shot three fucking people!” She said the moment I was in front of her. Her eyes were bloodshot, no form of emotion in them and I couldn't tell what that meant. I swiftly lowered myself down to the ground sitting my ass right

Chapter: Chapter 119Hello guys, so the last chapter was supposed to be an author's note. I'm not really familiar with the author's center interface, so please bear with me. So, guys, I understand that I haven't uploaded any chapters for over two months, and that's because of my health. I'm really really sorry about that, but my health is not entirely under my control. I had to rush the story even though I had a lot planned out(walking you guys through on how Claire was caught, and what happened with Alfredo and his family). I just had to wrap it up because I feel it's long overdue. I know many of you must have forgotten about one or two details regarding the story, but for every single one of you that sticked to the end, I'm super grateful 🙏🏽. This is actually my first story, and the love you guys showed me was immense. Thank you so very much, and God bless you all. I hope to see your support whenever I come up with a new story. Kindly leave your honest reviews and criticism, on the general comment

Chapter: Chapter 118Alpha Farrell's POV Two Months Later. It's been two whole month since I found out that Gabriella and I were mates, and all the saga that led us to this moment. Alfredo has been stripped off his position as Alpha, and his family exiled from the Pack, they're basically rogues with nothing but scraps to feed on. Princess Sheila on the other hand, was given a more milde punishment. Lockhart was still under Nightshade's while she served as an omega in the Packhouse. This was the mildest punishment we could give her, since it was with her help I was able to locate Alfredo after he secretly changed the location where he held Gabriella and the boys. The first phone call I had received was from her. But Alfredo found out she was tipping me off, and used her to lure me into a trap. Where he used those rogues who attacked us to secretly inject us with wolfsbane, making us weak and powerless. Princess Sheila still came to the rescue, soon after Alfredo came to gloat while I was chained,

Chapter: Chapter 117Melissa’s POV One month later.The gown in front of me was sparkling, casting glittering lights from its reflection as the helpers helped me don it.“It’s pretty, mummy,” Daemon said with his brother running behind him.The helpers stood at the door, stopping them from reaching me for fear of them ruining it.“Let them in,” I said, waiting for my boys to run into my arms.They came in haste, but mounting their distance, even as curiosity pushed at them to touch my gown.“My wife is going to wear one like this when I get married,” Damian said as he caressed the gown.I threw him a smile, bending as low as my gown would allow me to touch their heads. “Of course she would,” I said as I pinched his cheeks.“Are you ready?”I raised my head to meet Aiden as he stood in front of the room, dressed elegantly, for the matter. “I am.” The answer was no surprise for me as I straightened my gown while Aiden held out his arm for me.“You wouldn’t want to keep the groom waiting for too long,” he s

Chapter: Chapter 116Gabriella’s POV I stood like a display doll in front of the entire Silverrose, as I listened to Alfredo give a glamorous speech to justify why he's an asshole.I can't wait for all this to be over so Alfredo can take me to see my voice. He has done all he can to break me, and since he wasn't succeeding, he stopped so low as using my boys, our kids to threaten me.‘I only want you Mel, we can make more babies,’ he said, holding a knife over Damian. My baby was so scared and called out to me for help but I couldn't do anything. Now in order to keep my kids alive, I'm subjecting myself to an eternity of hell on earth. But I can endure all that, as long as my boys are fine. The look on Farrell's face when I told him I wanted to be with Alfredo broke me every time I thought about it.Alfredo nudged me, which was his cue, telling me to smile. I forced a smile, as Alfredo took another gulp of wine.“You're mine forever now, Mel,” he said, his voice barely above a whisper as he brought out

Chapter: Chapter 115Claire's POVToday makes it exactly four days since I saw Aiden and Alpha Farrell last. From what I was told, they suddenly got into their car and drove off. At first I was worried that maybe, somehow they'd figured out that Gabriella was in Silverrose Pack, but I called Alfredo and he confirmed that they never showed up at his Pack.I didn't take his words for it when he told me, but everywhere has been calm, and there's no way in hell that Alpha Farrell found Gabriella and Alfredo still have his head.“Don't get happy too quickly,” Anya said through the mindlink. “I’ve got a feeling that this is the calm before the storm.”“Yeah right,” I replied, rolling my eyes. “There's no storm coming. If there's one thing, the storm already happened and this is the calm after the storm.”“But–”“Not now, Anya!” I snapped. “Alfredo is going to mark and announce Gabriella as his Luna today, and we’re going to witness that alongside anybody,” I explained. “So, no matter what storms come after this

Chapter: Chapter 114Alpha Farrell's PovHow we arrived at the location in the text was a total blur. The stone walls of the shrines were cracked and filled with overgrown vines.As we stepped towards the entrance of the shrine, the door to the shrine creaked open.“Ah, Alpha Farrell,” Alfredo called out gingerly, spreading his arms wide like he was seeing an old friend. “I must say, I'm disappointed you didn't send an official letter. I would have made your welcome, more… memorable,” he smirked.“Cut the crap, Alfredo!” I snarled, bringing out my claws, as I marched forward, Ora flashing in my eyes. “Where's Gabriella? Where are my boys?”“Your boys?” Alfredo chuckled darkly. “I think you're getting things wrong, Alpha Farrell,” he said, a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. “THEY ARE MY BOYS. And as for my MATE, I'm sure she doesn't want to see you.”“Alfredo!” I growled, charging towards him.“Farrell!” Aiden called out to me from behind.“What?!” I snapped irritatedly, turning sharply to face him
