Chapter: Chapter 110: Pain between brothersEloise scoffed through the nose, “ Seriously? They're brothers? No wonder. Do they mass-produce infuriating men in this family? Honestly —what is this bloodline made of, pure annoyance? Just my luck…one devil wasn't enough, I had to meet the brother too.” She said beneath her breath as she watched Zade walk towards Antonio. “ Looks like I interrupted your workout,” Zade said as he looked at his shirt clinging to his skin like a second skin. With sweat all over his neck and arms. “ So you've finally decided to return home,” Antonio said, stepping into the sitting room. Zade felt an ache in his chest, one he's been suppressing. Desperation gradually washed over him to confront Antonio from the second he laid eyes on him. But he swallowed, clenched his fist to keep it cool. “ Were you wishing I'd never return?” He asked with a victory smirk. Eloise’s brow creased as she heard him say. ‘ WT..’ but her thoughts halted when she saw Antonio's unfazed expression as if that statement wa

Chapter: Chapter 109: Hot pull up “ Can I bring myself to hurt Tamara?” Eloise questioned herself as her legs padded the tiled floor. Her mind dwelled on Dayse, Dayse's feelings, how she'd feel if she hurt her daughter, and seeing that Dayse wasn't going to believe whatever she says makes her feel conflicted on what to do.She's plotted her vengeance against Mason, which is currently in motion.Yet….Eloise groaned frustratedly. Like nothing was working, nothing was going as she'd want it to like everything was against her.But it wasn't the revenge against Tamara. In fact, it feels like thinking about revenge was an excuse. And the excuse doesn't seem to be working, the thoughts of Alisha and revenge don't seem to stop the thought that keeps creeping back in.The thoughts that clung to the back of her head were a miserable clip.It bothers her, it unsettles her. She remembered when she'd started telling Antonio that Leo didn't touch her, she knew that wasn't the normal her.That was the hidden her that didn't like ho

Chapter: Chapter 108: Anger from pain“ Eloise,” Mason muttered under his breath as he sat behind his desk. His fist tightened along with his jaw.Even her name scraped against his skull like a curse. She was his possession, his proof of power, but now she’s with another man, their business rival at that. He didn't care about the deal he lost, but the thought of them together was enough to make his vision bleed red, enough to make his jaw ache from the grind of his teeth.Antonio Brayden. The name burned into his skull like a brand. If Antonio thinks this was business, then he should be ready to learn that this is war. Cause if he can't have her, then no one would…and Antonio would be the first to learn how far he'd go to make that truth absolute.“ Sir, I have a suggestion,” Tedros broke through his thoughts.His eyes slowly glared up at him, and Tedros quickly spoke before he'd piss him off even more.“ A dinner party.”Mason furrowed his brow.“ Think about it, sir, since you became the CEO, you've not had any parties,

Chapter: Chapter 107: Let's forget it happened Eloise couldn't contain her joy, her face beamed as she watched Nadine’s pen dance over their deal file. She was so elated when Nadine told her that morning that they had won her time, and with the support of her employees who admired their will and determination.And of course, Nadine couldn't turn down their proposal after listening to them. It was so beneficial and was all about their needs without them having to compromise anything or cause discomfort for their workers.She shook hands with Eloise but refused to shake Antonio's.“ I'm signing the deal because of you, not this…,” Nadine eyed Antonio as she shook Eloise's hand.Eloise’s heart skipped. She's been avoiding Antonio since that morning and refusing to look at him, but she couldn't help but be curious about why Nadine had been frowning and glaring at him.“ Why?” She asked.Nadine didn't finish her statement; she just gritted her teeth, as she didn't even know what exactly to call him.“ Ask your sharp-mouthed boss.”Eloi

Chapter: Chapter 106: Chaotic thoughts | BACK HOME—AT ARENA | In long strides, Antonio heads back to the cabin, with his hands tucked into his pockets, and a face full of smiles. He was almost there when he sighted Nadine standing with her hands at her back, gazing into the sky.The sound of his footsteps caused her to turn her head towards his direction and Antonio went to meet her.“ Mrs. Clinton,” he muttered as he got to her side,“ Mr. Brayden,” she called quietly, “ Taking a walk?”“ Something like that,” he nodded and a silence fell between them as he accompanied her in sky gazing until she decided to break the silence.“ Thank you, Mr. Brayden,” she muttered,“ Hm?”“ For looking after the kids. I didn't expect you'll be able to handle them like that.”“ Well,” He shrugged, “Turns out there's nothing I can't handle."Nadine's lip twitched to a side as she gave him a side eye look. “ And I know you did that to test me,” he added, looking at her short frame over his shoulder.Nadine scoffed, “ Was it that obvious?"

Chapter: Chapter 105: Steamy night with my boss| ITALY — LATER THAT NIGHT |The soft click of Laera's heels echoed against the hotel’s quiet corridor, Oliver walking by her side with his hands in his pocket.Neither of them spoke at first, but the heat from the dinner still lingered between them, as tangible as the faint scent of her perfume that kept drifting his way. Every now and then, his gaze flicked to her, and his chest raced each time.Soon, they arrived in front of her door. Laera reached for the key card in her clutch that he was holding but his fingers brushed hers before she could take it.“ Allow me,” he murmured.Her pulse stumbled. She stepped back as he slid the card, the lock giving a soft click. He pushed the door open, but didn’t move to leave.“You should rest,” he said, voice low, eyes fixed on her face.Laera’s throat felt dry. “I will.”She murmured but neither of them moved. They stared at each other till he took half a step forward, still holding her gaze.“ Laera…,” he called, almost like a warning and a

Chapter: Chapter 184: Semi finale: Tears and regrets ( Still flashback)Clarisse's heart tightened after listening to the recorder; she took a deep breath as tears gathered in her eyes. It was a lot for her, listening to a family of hers plotting her death.Christian pulled her closer into his arms and whispered, "Are you okay?".She smiled bitterly and nodded, her chest getting tight and firm, " they were never my family", she said coldly." They killed my parents and now their daughter is planning to kill me"," Would you have gone truly? If I hadn't played this tape", Marissa asked," I would have, I would have agreed to meet her, but where she gets it wrong was thinking I would move according to her plans if she really wants my forgiveness, she'll come to see me, if we have to meet then I'll book a restaurant and I won't go anywhere without telling my man about it".Marissa sighed, " I don't think she'll want you to tell anyone that you want to meet with her "," That's for sure", Ryan agreed," I said I won't move according to her

Chapter: Chapter 183: Flashback (Flashback)Ryan's words started repeating in her head once again, bringing her awareness to something she had never noticed or something she pretended not to notice. Realizing which relationship she wanted more and which relationship she never wanted to end, she picked up her phone after prioritizing someone she never wanted to think about or imagine losing.She took her phone and dialed Alice's contact; after concluding to meet, she went to take her bath and get dressed before calling Ryan.Praying and wishing he picked, she felt so relieved and happy when he did after the third rang," Hi, Ryan"," Hi", he replied coldly," Can we meet, please? I would come over"," Okay".Her heart ached when he coldly hung up; she swallowed hard, accepting the coldness, and with more desperation, she headed over to his place. After the short drive, she arrived at his house and took a deep breath, exhaling heavily before stepping out of the car.She knocked on his door and he opened the door." He

Chapter: Chapter 182: Taking her by surprise ( very early the next morning)Alice walked out of the house and headed over to where Marissa's car was packed; she opened the door with Marissa's key and reached out for her bag; she opened Marissa's bag and took out the pistol.She smiled heartily at the gun, " beautiful", she uttered and threw the bag back into the car before closing it and heading back into the house.Her stomach grumbled as she stepped in; she went straight to the kitchen counter to make herself a cup of cornflakes and tucked the gun into her back pocket before heading to the room where Clarisse was tied.With her head banging and spinning, she slowly flickered her eyes open to a bright room that nearly blinded her eyes. Slowly, she adjusted her sight to the room light and raised her head to see Alice munching on something; when she took another spoon, she realized it was flakes.Her body felt numb, and she couldn't move; she looked at herself to realize her situation."

Chapter: Chapter 104: She moaned for himEnjoying the blissful moment with the shower hitting his spine, Larsen placed his palm against the wall, his mind revisiting what he noticed about Damien's attack. From the moment he asked for dinner with him, to the moment he saw him together with Elora, and how he kept glancing over at him, he realized.' he likes her,' he said in his mind, ' was he the one trying to kidnap her?'While he was still deep in his thoughts, he heard the sudden burst of the bathroom door, and he turned around to see the frozen Elora.The moment he turned, Elora quickly turned around, her heart racing so fast, her throat finding it hard to swallow, and her body quivering. 'What was I thinking!? Barging into his bathroom? Why was I even worried, and now I'm in this situation!' she screamed in her head." Thought you'd showered."'Ohhh!' Elora mouthed, shivering and feeling a little bit startled by Larsen's voice so close to her ear. She had no idea when he got that close, maybe because her mind was occupi

Chapter: Chapter 103: Wrong timing or just right Larsen rolled his eyes when Damien transformed. He shook his head, not finding it worthy, fighting with someone like him.And just as Damien was about to dash at him, a heavy rain of gunfire fell on the humans holding guns and on standby. He looked around to see swarms of wolves running in and attacking the humans.Damien transformed back to human, standing naked before Larsen, looking around in utmost shock and confusion." Where did all these werewolves come from?" he asked, watching as they were attacking the werewolves siding him." So you literally think I only own just a hotel and a corporation in this world?" Larsen sighed and shook his head. His eyes turned the blazing glare that sent shivers down Damien's spine, " I own the underworld here."With that, he turned and grabbed Elora's wrist, pulling her up and walking out. On their way out stood the Mafia men, standing side by side in their black suits and Kriss guns in their hands. They bowed to him, and he walked past them.

Chapter: Chapter 102: Must take him down Magnus kept pacing to and fro, trying to reach out to Larsen to no avail. His agitation reached a higher level, and his breath became irregular. He stood outside the room door, waiting for the return of Isha with the desperation for the Alpha to pick up his call.He swirled his body upon hearing approaching steps." Isha,"" My lord," she hastened her steps. Her mind was in urgency and joy at how much Magnus relies on her actions, feeling good about how important she is to him at this moment." How is it?"" They're all gathered at your command, but Sir. Magnus..," she feels bad, hesitating to break it to him for fear this may wreck his resolve," Speak!" he commanded harshly," But they're not up to fifty, are you sure we can win this?"Magnus's shoulder dropped. Fifty soldiers? Against hundreds of them?Vicky mumbled some incoherent words as she stirred awake. Her eyeballs scanned the materials and the wall, which it could capture, and it looked so unfamiliar. This isn't her divisi

Chapter: Chapter 101: Taking all bullets Damien looked down at Elora, who was reaching out to the wait staff for another cup of tequila. His nose blaring with a heavy breath, he turned to the tycoon who was present at the meeting they all had, standing next to him, gallant and determined." It's all set right?"" We're prepared, it'll start anytime soon,"" Nothing must go wrong, she mustn't get hurt," he said before tracing his eyes back to Elora." Our only target is him, there's no reason to be afraid."" I'm not," he asserted.The tycoon smirked. The governor couldn't reject the offer of taking Larsen out of the way with their help, knowing he's been an obstacle to achieving their aims. But with him out, the werewolves would accept their offer, they'd get to pry more, slowly and gradually get to know their secrets, and finally dominate, rule over them.The tycoon smiled, remembering what the governor said. 'You guys are such a fool, but well, it works better for us, the Alpha must die tonight.'He said and laughed mania

Chapter: Chapter 100: Drowned into the danceHis eyes bore into hers; he couldn't resist the smile when he saw her blush. The almighty feisty princess blush, he'd do thousands more to see more of that.His heart skipped so hard, he couldn't tear his eyes off her; she's like a sunset he found himself watching. His smile slowly changed, his eyes searching hers for answers.Answers to what she's doing to him, answers to why he's feeling this way, it hit him slowly with warmth in his chest, and it's stirring up something bad, something he's not ready to admit.The sudden play of cool, slow music breaks the air. Elora heaved a sigh as she was finally able to look away." Are we going to stand here like this all night?" she asked, not taking the risk to look at him again." Is that you stylishly inviting me to a dance?"" Of course not," she objected immediately, but it was too late. His hand grabbed hers and pulled her to the dance floor." What are you doing? I can't dance, I'm not ready to...,"" Shhh, don't lie with your pretty li

Chapter: Chapter 99: Larsen's cupcake Larsen sighed inwardly with his mood getting exhausted as another influential woman approached him. He had too many humans to exchange pleasantries with, men that are appreciating his presence at the ball, and the women who are trying to have an audience with him.His charisma not only charms the ladies, but his handsomeness and features causes them to drool and turn in every direction he moves. He has lots of attention, and it's taking some effort for the men to get their women's eyes off him." The human females are no different from the she-wolves," he mumbled to himself." Drink, sir?" a waiter asked, smiling sweetly at him.Without replying, he took a cup of cocktail off the tray she was carrying and took a sip.She couldn't tear her eyes off him; his well-tailored suit only screamed of wealth, it did no justice to his handsomeness, but it did grace his features. His broad shoulders that make feminine fingers ache, his face that looks like an art specially crafted by the creator
