Chapter: Chapter 132: Say you want me‘ I hope Antonio forgives me, a date with Cecilia around is definitely a date ruined,’ Eloise moaned in her mind, with the thought that she has to apologize to Antonio. She was still thinking when the waitress who was pouring them wine mistakenly spilled some on her. “ Oh God, not again,” she grunted. The waitress immediately began to apologize. It was an exclusive dinner room guests, knowing a word from them could get her fired. Meanwhile, Cecilia's lips twitched into a knowing smile. She gave the waitress a secret thumb up for the job well done. “ I need to use the restroom,” Eloise stood up angrily, even though she told the waitress not to worry. Antonio stood up to follow her causing Cecilia’s heart to jump, afraid her plan will be ruined, but she was immediately grateful when Eloise stopped him. “ Don't worry, I'll be fine,” Eloise said to Antonio, “ You sure?” “ Yeah,” she assured, her lashes batting. Not after what he did to her with the ice cream is she goi

Chapter: Chapter 131: Naughty Antonio The scent of buttered popcorn and neon heat welcomed Antonio and Eloise as they walked into the arcade, lights blinking everywhere with machines chiming in chaos. “ Can we disappear into any section here?” Eloise whispered to Antonio as she locked her arm into his. Antonio smirked, amused at her torment. “ You invited her, remember? Good Samaritans always get rewarded.” Eloise shot him a glare that could burn holes through steel, but it only made him grin wider. “ Elly! Antonio!” They heard Cecilia's tiny voice calling after them and the echo of her hastening heels catching up to them. “ This place looks fun,” she chirped upon arriving by their side, with her arm looping around her husband's, but her eyes soon moved to Antonio. Eloise clenched her jaw. 'Looks fun until you arrive,’ she grumbled in her mind. Larton, oblivious, already lumbered toward the basketball machine, tossing coins in with childlike glee. “ Darling, win me a teddy bear!” Cecilia called after him, but her

Chapter: Chapter 130: Good Samaritan ‘ Should I have offered her to join us?’ Eloise questioned herself as her jaw flexed. Antonio, however, didn't bother returning the look. His hands were busy cutting the steaks on his plate into smaller pieces. “ We got married a few months ago,” Eloise replied in his stead. Not pleased about how he hasn't said a thing to her or even glanced her way. It was so unusual cause men couldn't even resist the sound of her sweet, tiny voice. But she masked it with a tinkling laugh, tilting her head. “ Oh, no wonder I'm not aware, maybe because I've not really been around in the country. But I must say—Larton, don't you think Antonio carries himself like a man used to power?” Larton, who was already halfway through his steak chuckled Obligingly. “ Sure, darling. Whatever you say.” Cecilia leaned closer, facing Antonio's direction like she wanted to hit him with the scent of her perfume from across the table. “ I'll try to keep up with our course mates’ updates. I'm sorry I couldn't atte

Chapter: Chapter 129: Romantic breakfast Like the day wouldn't stop winking at her, bright with normalcy, yet every glance, every pause carried the weight of unspoken feelings that made Eloise's heart stumble.But not only stumble. She felt special and embraced by Antonio's family as she kept looking at the card filled with schedules made by his grandmother.“ We'll have to do all these, right?” She asked, before looking at Antonio.“ Is there anyone you are not comfortable with? We won't do anyone you don't want,”“ No, of course,” she shook her head quickly, lips pressing together as though to trap a smile. “ That'll be disrespectful.”Seeing how she's fighting not to smile, Antonio grinned, finding it so cute and adorable. His eyes trailed from her flushed cheeks to her beautiful black hair that cascaded down her shoulder, to how gorgeously she's dressed.In a black mini gown with thin spaghetti straps and black pointed-toe heels with a black handbag. Her dress was all classy and sophisticated while he was dressed in his

Chapter: Chapter 128: Fearful secrets in the family | WOLF RIVER PRISON |Michael’s face was contorted with a frown as the guard led him to the visitation room.‘ But I wasn't expecting any visitor,’ he said in his mind, wondering who it could be.A part of his heart leaped with hope for the visitor to be his wife, while another part was pounding with anxiety. His wife hasn't been picking up his calls, and their last meeting was about their son needing another surgery.The moment the guard led him into the room, Michael’s face dropped. It wasn't his wife, nor was it anyone he recognized.He reluctantly took a seat while staring at the man dressed in a suit and sunglasses sitting at the other side.“ Who are you?” He asked, frowning deeply in disappointment.The unknown man slowly took off his sunglasses. Nothing about him was familiar; he was exuding a dangerous and cold aura, but the black mole at the corner of his eye stood out.“ Mr. Michael, not a pleasure meeting you,” he said plainly, “ which is why I'll be going straight to the

Chapter: Chapter 127: Was it a dream? Or a memory Eloise—brightening smile—babybump.The way the breeze blew her hair back, her smile brightened the day like she was the goddess of the universe, controlling the light and air to enhance her beauty.Yet, he could only stand in the distance. Staring. Watching. Yearning.‘ She's pregnant,’ Antonio muttered in his mind, with aches burning inside of him, emptiness pressing against his chest.His fist clenched out of anger, his eyes burned with late realization. His breath shuddered with regret.He didn't become her rival just because of business competition, nor out of boredom as he had convinced himself. He'd loved her defiant retaliation, her aggressive comeback each time he countered her business deals.It was a way of communicating with her. Many times at different banquets, dinner parties, and galas, he'd bumped into her, but she’d never spared him a glance. She was always at a distance, smiling like that and entrapping him into endless staring.Laughing out loud and disarming him.H

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.

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
