🦋 BENITA 🦋 Rather than being a mess, my life was fun for the first time since I was 10. It's been from pain to pain since the death of my mother.I entered the mini studio I had rented, and my spirit, body, and soul screamed freedom.I got a drink and turned the music on, screaming, dancing and jumping around.“I'm free! I'm free! Freedom!”At that moment, I was on top of the world, I couldn't wish for anything more.I had enough money, and now I had a space of my own; I was going to start a sweet, soft life. Trapped? That's past tense now, it's all in the past.Deep down, I felt like I left something behind.“Of course I did,” I told myself, “All the clothes, shoes and bags Felix bought for me.”But that wasn't the case, and I knew. But what's life without having something to deny?Fuck everyone! I'm free and I'm never going back.It was 2 am, I didn't stop drinking and jumping around, it's either that I was too happy or too anxious. Suddenly, a knock sounded on the door, and I f

🦋 FELIX 🦋The question caught me off guard, making my heart race. I felt a knot in my stomach as I hesitated, unsure how to answer. Fear of the consequences of telling the truth gripped me, leaving me speechless. I wished I could avoid the question, but it lingered, demanding a response.I felt trapped, torn between the desire to reveal the truth and the fear of its consequences.But this situation also tangles with losing someone my happiness depends on.“Sir?” The policeman called, punching me back to reality. “We need information on this said missing person. How long has she been missing?”“Connect me with your Chief,” I demanded.The policeman paused, “You need to speak to me first, sir.”“I won't repeat myself,” I yelled.In a few seconds, I was connected to the chief, and after a brief introduction on who I was, he stood on his toes and was fully ready to attend to me.“I need to find someone,” I stated.“Who is she to you, sir?” He asked.I slammed my eyes shut, pissed about

🦋 BENITA 🦋My pillow was soaked in tears, unable to fathom why Felix wouldn't let me leave.The sense of feeling trapped was choking me, I wanted to leave so desperately, to search for and find a life.And just then it occurred to me, why do I need his permission to leave? Fuck that damn contract, I just need to go — right?I picked up a piece of paper and began to draw a plan. Felix leaves some men at home to watch me, like a large piece of expensive beef, and he leaves one to drive me around. They wouldn't let me go if they saw me with a suitcase, nor would my driver agree to not take me to work. All I need to do is act normal, go with nothing since I was able to gather enough money, then when my driver gets me to work, I sneak away from there to a faraway city.The plan in my head was so smooth, I could only wish it would turn out to be successful too.I stayed alert until Felix left for work, then I added the most important thing to me into a small handbag.I walked out of the h

🦋 FELIX 🦋I could do everything that morning but focus, although I remembered nothing that happened last night, I imagined it, and I didn't hate it.When I woke up, I found myself cupped in Benita’s arm. It's only natural that something had happened, but I couldn't tell what. And honestly, I stayed there for a while pretending to still be asleep.I might have even imagined worse than what actually happened, but I didn't hate whatever was in my head.I didn't hate the idea of loving her or having her; I unknowingly giggled at the thought of it, whereas in reality… it would never happen.My father was a part of the evil ones who ruined her life, and my grandmother also did nothing but make her life worse. It's only natural that she doesn't like me or my family.That day, the time in the office felt weird, as I constantly called Benita into my office for absolutely no reason.People in the office were taking her for granted and making her do all the work, but I could do nothing about i

🦋 BENITA 🦋 Some things are better left as an imagination. Deep down, things were unbearable for me because I couldn't dare to do what played in my head.I stood there motionlessly and pleaded like a fool, and it was the most painful thing ever.Mr William's laugh echoed through the office, I couldn't even stand up straight; the embarrassment was choking.The people in the office didn't take their eyes off me, neither did they try to help me, I felt worthless while an old man pumped my butts with his hands, right in the middle of a crowded office.“This is an office, whatever nonsense you want to do… Please take it out of my company. You can do anything you want with my employee out there, but not in here… please leave,” Felix’s words echoed out.Those were not the words I wanted to hear. What happened to “Get your hands off my woman”, or “She's mine, so if you as much as lay your fingers on her again… I'll cut them off.”Those were the actual words I wanted Felix to say so badly, I

🦋 FELIX 🦋I struggled to suppress the thought that Benita could really be in trouble. “What if it wasn't a prank?”I switched on my phone and tried to call the number back, but couldn't because it was a private number. Worried, I texted the number to one of my men, then placed a call through him, “I want you to track the number I just sent to you, it's an emergency.”A few minutes later, he called back, “It's impossible to track the number, its location is somehow hidden like a big organisation is keeping it hidden. I might be able to track it down when you are on a call with the number. Do you have any information that might help us?”“He sounded like an elderly man. I'm sure he's using a voice-changing device to manipulate us,” I announced.“I'm sorry, sir, but whoever he is, is skilled at his job; we can't track him down.” He calmly stated, and I ended the call.Worried, I picked up my coat and walked out of the office. Getting into the car, I drove straight home.Getting home, I

🥀 MELONIE'S POV 🥀I woke up with a cold pain spreading across every part of my body, I remember the angel telling me I might die from the pain if it was too much to bear, and yes, I agree that I almost died, I don't get why I'm still alive.My spirit is just so stubborn and it wouldn't be dismissed.I looked down at my tummy and noticed a scar, it was the exact spot where I stabbed Alastor, he died and I got a scar from the effect of the pain.I looked around; I wasn't where I collapsed.“How did I get here?” I whispered.“I brought you back,” Bruno's voice sounded behind me.“Come, everyone is waiting for you.”“What about Alastor's body?” I murmured.Bruno walked closer, “I'm sorry Melonie, I couldn't even find his toenail, he disappeared into thin air like he never existed.”“And ASHERA?” I stated.“I hid it somewhere safe,” he responded. “I'm sorry Melonie, you had to kill your own twin brother to save us all; I know it was hard for you.”“Try not to remind me, I'm trying to for

🥀 CLARA'S POV 🥀What a lonely morning after being surrounded by couples all night.Bruno and Othello, Dracula and Lavanya, both couples heartlessly doing rubbish.My eyes hurt from rolling them all night as soon as I see them flirt and my lips hurt from pouting as soon as I see them kiss.I was standing alone in between two couples and it was so frustrating.I got up from bed, not like I got any sleep.As I sat in the quiet stillness of the morning, my mind began to wander to Arlo. Memories of our time together flooded my thoughts, and I couldn't help but smile.I remembered the way he used to make me laugh, the way his eyes would sparkle with mischief when he was teasing me. I remembered the way he would hold my hand, his fingers intertwined with mine in a gentle, loving grasp.As I sat there, lost in thought, I could almost feel his presence around me. I could smell him, and hear the sound of his voice whispering in my ear. It was as if he was right here with me, and my heart swel

🥀 LAVANYA'S POV 🥀The sky above was a brilliant blue, not a cloud in sight. The sun shone brightly, casting a warm glow over the landscape. A gentle breeze rustled through the trees, carrying the sweet scent of blooming flowers.The air was crisp and clean, with a hint of freshness that invigorated the senses. The temperature was just right, neither too hot nor too cold, making it perfect for outdoor activities.As I stepped outside, I felt a sense of joy and upliftment wash over me. The clear sky and good weather seemed to lift my spirits, filling me with a sense of possibility and promise.The world seemed to come alive on days like this, with every colour appearing more vibrant, every sound clearer, and every sensation more intense. It was as if the good weather had awakened a sense of wonder and magic in the world.I took a deep breath, feeling the fresh air fill my lungs, and gazed up at the clear blue sky. It was a moment of pure happiness, a moment to savour and enjoy. And I

🥀 MELONIE'S POV 🥀With a bright light that almost left us blind, Our Alpha Vargus disappeared, alongside Angel Gabriel.Leaving us, broken and lonely.Honestly, I wanted to close my eyes and never wake up, because just when we were almost at the end, things became unbearable.We lost a lot of people on this journey, and I feel like I'm the one to blame.If only I hadn't walked into this world, or maybe if I wasn't too stubborn and had not gone in search of my father if only I hadn't resurrected Arwan or if I hadn't gotten attached to Alastor and killed him when I had the chance rather than praying for a change, things wouldn't have graduated into this.We were mourning too many people, because of me.I walked closer to Clara who crumbled underneath a table weeping.“Clara,” I called softly.“Get away from me,” she retorted, breathing heavily.She hasn't tasted food or water for a while, and I was starting to think she might probably die before Arlo returns.“Arlo would be here soon,

🥀 ALPHA VARGUS’S POV 🥀I doubted my decision, thinking about it, I don’t really want to die, but neither do I want to live my life watching someone I love suffer.“I’ll give my life,” I declared, “Bring Arlo back to life.”The angel chuckled softly, “You don’t really want to die Vargus… look at you, your eyes sparkle with life.”“Just do it,” I retorted.“You cannot be serious Vargus,” Clara snapped, “Who asked you to give your life for his? I might want Arlo alive but I don’t want you dead.”“Are you sure about that?” I asked sadly, “Clara, are you sure you mind me dying for Arlo to come back to life? I never existed to you.”“But that doesn't mean I want you dead,” she cried out, slamming her eyes shut as tears poured, “I might have been too occupied with Arlo finally being with me but that doesn't mean I don't notice that you are around Vargus.”“You have 10 seconds to change your mind, if not the process would begin.” Angel Gabriel declared.I looked back at him with tears-fille

🥀 MELONIE’S POV 🥀 For hours, I was sitting behind the door, it was like there was an invincible force pulling me down. I was just not in the mood for anything.It was day two since what happened to Arwan and it was still so fresh, I should have been angry and filled with energy for revenge but I was weak and lonely, extremely tired of fighting.Soon I began to hear voices but I was determined to not leave the room or fight.It started as a warning that something was happening, and soon it increased.Rather than going out to check, I covered my ears to reduce the noise.I heard Othello screaming and desperately calling Bruno’s name, I heard Lavanya weeping while screaming Dracula’s name, I heard Alpha Vargus’s yells and finally, I heard Clara weeping.“I’m tired of fighting,” I murmured cuddling myself tightly.I heard a loud bang on my door, “Melonie…” Clara screamed, “You have to help us, Alastor is here for Ashera.”I jingled my head, “No, I won’t fight anymore,” I whispered to m
