As days passed, Lisa continued to deepen her bond with Ethan and Erica. They settled into a routine, with Lisa becoming an integral part of their lives. She often stayed over at Ethan’s place, helping with household chores and taking care of Erica while Ethan spent time at the hospital.But amidst the growing closeness, Lisa’s anxiety over her mission gnawed at her. She hadn’t updated Dilraba in a while, fearing her reaction to how emotionally involved she had become.One evening, after putting Erica to bed, Lisa stepped out onto the porch to make the call she had been dreading. The phone rang twice before Dilraba’s voice came through, cold and expectant.“What’s the update, Lisa?”Lisa took a deep breath. “I’ve made significant progress. Ethan and Erica trust me completely. Ethan even...” She hesitated, feeling a pang of guilt. “We’re getting very close.”Dilraba’s silence was heavy, laden with unspoken judgment. “Define that your very close, I hope you haven't messed anything up.’”

As dawn broke, Lisa woke to find Ethan still asleep beside her. She quietly slipped out of bed, careful not to wake him. She needed a moment to herself to process everything. She tiptoed down the hallway and checked on Erica, who was still fast asleep, clutching her stuffed animal.Lisa headed to the kitchen, her mind racing. She made a pot of coffee, the aroma filling the quiet house. As she poured herself a cup, her phone buzzed with a message from Dilraba."Any Update? What is the progress?"Lisa sighed, typing out a response. "Spent the night at Ethan's. Getting closer. He opened up more about his feelings and fears. What’s next?"She sipped her coffee, waiting for a reply. When her phone buzzed again, she quickly read the message."Good. Keep the pressure on. Make him dependent on you. Remember, the goal is to have him trust you completely. You must become indispensable to him and Erica, Mara must come back from the hospital to realize that her husband and daughter is no longer h

After Ethan agreed to take a break, Lisa helped him gather his things. Erica, still groggy from the long day, clung to her father's hand as they walked to the car. Lisa settled into the passenger seat while Ethan buckled Erica into her car seat. The drive home was quiet, the tension palpable. Lisa's mind raced with the steps she needed to take next.Once they arrived at Ethan's house, Lisa helped carry Erica inside. The house was warm and inviting, filled with family photos and the lingering scent of Mara's favorite candles. It felt like a sanctuary, but Lisa reminded herself why she was here.Ethan turned to her, gratitude evident in his eyes. "Thank you, Lisa. Really. I don't think I could have managed today without you."Lisa smiled softly. "You're welcome, Ethan. I'm glad I could help. Why don't you take a hot shower and relax a bit? I'll stay with Erica."Ethan hesitated, then nodded. "Okay. I'll be quick."Lisa watched as he headed down the hallway to the bathroom. She took a d

As Ethan left to be with Mara, Lisa's mind churned with conflicting emotions. She needed to stay focused. With Erica still asleep, she took a moment to text Dilraba for guidance."Progress update: Ethan is getting closer. Mara's stable but still critical. What's next?" she typed, sending the message before she could second-guess herself.Moments later, her phone buzzed with a reply. "Good work. Keep deepening the bond with Ethan. Make him rely on you more. Ensure he doubts his ability to cope without you and let him have lesser concerns for Mara, in that way, you will assume to control his heart.."Lisa sighed, slipping her phone back into her pocket. She knew what she had to do.When Ethan returned, his face was a mask of exhaustion. "She's stable for now," he said, his voice hollow. "I just don't know how much more I can take."Lisa reached out, placing a hand on his arm. "You're doing everything you can, Ethan. You need to take care of yourself too. Brooding and stressing yourself

Lisa's heart raced as she watched Roger leave the room. The secret message burned in her mind, a constant reminder of her mission. Get close to Ethan. Now.She took a deep breath, her eyes scanning the hospital room. Ethan was still gone, tending to his wife's crisis. But Lisa knew he would return, and when he did, she would be ready.As she waited, a young girl with big brown eyes and curly hair entered the room, her eyes fixed on Lisa. "Mommy said I could come see you," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.Lisa smiled, her heart melting. "Hey there, Erica. I'm so glad you're here."Erica climbed onto the bed, her eyes fixed on Lisa's face. "Mommy's sick, isn't she?"Lisa nodded, her voice gentle. "Yes, sweetie, she is. But your daddy's taking good care of her."Just then, the door opened, and Ethan walked in, his eyes red-rimmed from fatigue. "Hey, kiddo," he said, scooping up Erica in a big hug. "How's my little girl doing?"Erica wrapped her arms around his neck, her eyes s

Ethan's expression turned guarded, his eyes narrowing slightly. "I don't need anything in return, Lisa. Just focus on getting better."Lisa's smile never wavered. "I'll get better, Ethan. And when I do, I'll make sure to repay your kindness."The silence that followed was palpable, the only sound being the steady beep of the heart monitor. Ethan's gaze lingered on Lisa's face, searching for something - a glimmer of truth, a hint of sincerity. And in that moment, Lisa knew she had him right where she wanted him."I'll hold you to that," Ethan said finally, his voice low and husky.Lisa's heart skipped a beat. "I'm counting on it," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper.The tension between them was grow thick, the air thick with unspoken promises and unmet desires. And as the nurse bustled in to check on Lisa's vitals, the spell was broken - but the seeds of determination had already been sown.As the nurse left the room, Lisa's thoughts turned to the real reason she was here.

Alie sighed, what Serena said about Belcalis refused to leave her mind but she smiled courteously afraid to make him worry, "Nothing, I think I just missed Kyle" "You miss Kyle that's why you look so worried?"

The next morning, Enzo and Alice had packed their bags ready to leave the old mansion.Serena stood by her door trying to get a chance and have a private chat with Alice.She waited for more than 30 minutes but Madam and her hubby are still hugging and cuddling making her more jealous and nervous.Her chance finally came when Enzo stepped out to jog.Serena adjusted herself and let the hatred in her heart lead as she stopped before Alice and Enzo's room and tapped the door gently.From the other end, Alice was in the bathroom taking a dump when she heard this knock.It was a soft voice. Which made her feel it could be the old lady.Perhaps she didn't answer immediately, and the knock on the door rang again more desperate than before, "Alice, I have a few words to tell you, can I come in?"Hurriedly she pulled a tissue and shoved it into her bums before pulling her panties and rushed down towards the door.Before Alice responded, she heard a click and the bedroom door was pushed open wi

Alice asked again, "If you can meet a condition can I still consider divorcing him?""what?""Give me 10 billion. I believe this money should be nothing for the Clinton family. So, if you can give me 10 billion, I will consider divorce.""What are you talking about?" Mrs. Clinton opened her eyes wide, with an incredible expression on her face, only to feel that she had misheard.Alice pursed her lips, smiling and repeating what she had just said.This time, Mrs. Clinton heard clearly.Her face was extremely ugly and displeased, "Alice Clinton you greedy witch, 10 billion? Did you think you worth that much?"Alice narrowed her eyes. Of course, the 10 billion worth nothing much to the Clinton family networth. But she was determined, that if this is what Mrs Clinton wants to hear from her, then she's ready to give her.Mrs Clinton also glared at the lady standing before her with hatred. She wondered what more bad characters she has because her original plan was to give her a few hundred m

Back outside in the garden, Mrs Clinton's attitude is very strong.Alice did not give in. She looked at her humbly and wordlessly, repeating what she had said just now "Mom, I still said what I said just now, and I cannot divorce him. Enzo and I love ourselves. There are no emotional issues, no other issues. We get along well and care about each other.""I like to be with him and I want to stay with him for a long time. I really can't agree with your request.""Do you like him?" Mrs Clinton's eyes were full of anger and sneered. "Do you like my son or his money? Don't think I don't know what a woman like you is thinking about. You just want to change your class by getting married, want to sparrow on the branches and change into a phoenix? If he has no money and no power, would you still like him? You have a bit of demeanor in battle, so your face is confused by my son, Coaxing him because you can touch him to pull a marriage certificate with you.""Don't you think you're so shameless?"

Back in the house, Enzo didn't go update, he decided to wait for his wife before sleeping, just then, "Enzo."Serena's voice rang at this time.Enzo frowned slightly and turned to look at her.Serena pinched her sleeves and stood up, she gently bit her lip corner "Last time, I am sorry for whatever had happened. I don't have chance to tell you sorry because I'm so ashamed of myself that's why I left for Paris. I'm influenced by Judy Lewiston that sly force, will you forgive me?"Enzo stared at her for a few seconds, his brow furrowed tighter, and his voice was a little cold, "Apologize? Can apology fix what you did? Also, the person you should apologize is not me!"His indifferent attitude made Serena's face a bit ugly.Serena already felt it.Since the last time she left for Paris and came back, Enzo has been very cold to her.Enzo who seems irritated by her presence left angrily. Old Mrs Clinton came into the sitting just in in time, Serena rushed to her. "Grandma, let me help y

AZALEAS POV I packed my bags and sneakily exited the class so I won't be sighted by Poppy but I wasn’t so lucky, Amy caught me."Pops, is Lea leaving without you?" She asked Poppy aloud but I know it's a tactic to give me off.I froze on my spot and waited for Poppy's verdict, but to my surprise, she shrugged, "She knows the way back home. Must we go together?""But she's...""Amy!" Poppy suddenly interrupted Amy with her sharp mean tone that got even me shocked, "Since when are you allowed to meddle in matters concerning my sister and I?"I found this new attitude of hers awfully surprising, but I guess it's my lucky day so I quickly exit the classroom before she could change her mind.I passed through Clark's office but surprisingly, he wasn’t there. "Perhaps he'd left" I thought and skipped out to the parking lot but his car was there and not him.Where could he have gone to without telling me? Did you think you're now his weakness? My mind chirped.Oh fuck it. Why should he tell

EDWIN POVAfter class, I slumped into my swivel chair angrily. Sorin still looked very bothered and unfazed even though he understood I was angry at his behavior in class. “Did I not tell you to keep your ugly face off the school premises?” I barked angrily as I banged my palm to the table. He merely shrugged. Earlier before coming to school, I’d strictly warned him against going after humans or causing any trouble that will give him away.It was a shock to see him here at school, and I couldn’t even deny it when he claimed he was my brother. After the class, the next thing I realized was that every student was asking him about me, which means he must have leaked it out to them that I was his brother yet again!!“Wouldn’t you say something?” I yelled in frustration when he still wasn’t saying anything. “What should I say? Sorry..? That’s the last word I’d ever wanna utter”Anger boiled inside of me and with clenched teeth I lashed out “Behave yourself!!” “What will you do if I d

AZALEA’S POVMy chest sank like Titanic. What do I tell her? That I’m his mate and we’ve fucked each other twice or what?Even if I do, Poppy will never believe. I faced her sharply. “I… I don’t know perhaps you should ask him.“You don’t know yet he have your bra?” Poppy scoffed. “Liar, Liar pants on fire”I bowed my head without replying that. I shouldn’t even talk because indeed, I’d lied to her.She crossed her arms over her chest as she announced. “As from today, you shouldn’t come to his classes anymore!”I gasped. “Why… Why did you say that? I’m n Economics major and I can’t afford to miss his class?”“Shut the fuck up!” she snapped. “You listen to everything that I want and say without question, or else…”“Or else what?” A cool and serene but familiar voice suddenly asked from our behind, making my heart stop for a beat.Edwin Clark? I turned around immediately, and behind us was Sorin.My heartbeat steadied again. How foolish of me to mistake their voice.I adjusted myself, a

AZALEA'S POVHis voice had set my heart on fire and my throbbed with wet pleasure. But I couldn’t tell him I need him, I gulped and waited until he undid his tie and the buttons of his shirt.“I hate it so much when you call that jerk sweet names, Azalea” He whispered seductively as well as angrily.“I didn’t call him by…”“Focus on me, Azalea” He cut into my words. “You called me trashy names, and make me an object of mockery”He climbed on top of me, and placed my hand on his stud abs. “Feel it and see the difference with that tiny thing”I now understand clearly that he hates Sorin abd not happy to see him. But naturally, I was very happy to have such an interesting person around.Sorin is not that bad of a person, and I think he’s more of a reason to stay here with him and take care of Daffy without dealing with Poopy. I guess all I need is to make him like his brother.I don’t know if it’s right but I circled my hand around his nipple, playing with it. “You’re too old to be jealou

EDWN’S POV She turned to see him, and to my surprise and shock, she was drooling on the very lean and unkempt sinner walking towards us. My blood boiled at the highest degree and I wished to thrust my fangs into the sinners face and spoil whatever she was drooling on, but I didn’t because I couldn’t. “Who… Who are you?” She asked, blinked like a fangirl. “Em that’s….” I wanted to talk, but before I could form a word, he's has rushed to her and took her hand, looking enthusiastic. “Sister-in-law! How are you?” My eyes widened. “Sister in-law?” He was still smiling foolishly. Azalea too, smiling back like they’d actually meet each other before. “I’ve been dying to see you. You look just ask beautiful as you’re in that year” “In that year? Have we met before?” Azalea finally asked, gently snapping her hands off his, looking at me, but I’m not ready to take her smile now. I hate it when my woman smiles at anther man aside from her father. The sinner didn’t answer her, so I quckly

EDWIN’S POV “What?” I whizzed and in the next moment my hands was on his neck, “I dare you to say that again sinner” He was laughing despite the grip on his throat. “I said, that girl in your room, is the baby I saved twenty two years ago. That’s why I was imprisoned for keeping a cursed being alive” My eyes widened and the grip on his neck automatically loosen. He’s 800 years old which means he could remember something that happened 22 years ago vividly. If what he’s saying is true, then that means Azalea is a werewolf? Or is a curse? No… If she’s one I would’ve known immediately I saw her. This sinner must be trying to come up with an excuse to avoid getting punished for escaping prison. I rushed at him again and my claws obeyed my instincts this time regardless of the ring, I have to send him back to avoid unnecessary story but he dodged my attack again as he laughed as if I was a fool, “She was the missing link between us and the werewolves!" He explained, “Her witch mo
