EMILIA' S POV FIVE YEARS LATER. "Mummy, can you give me the blue one, I don't want this!" Thea, my first twin spoke, jumping excitedly to reach for the ball even before knowing whether I had decided to give it to her or not. "You can play with your brother." I pointed at Lucas, who was happily running toward our massive backyard with his pink ball. She turned toward him, gave him an unimpressed look, then turned back to me. "I don't want the pink one. It doesn't match the colour of my shirt. Give me the blue one." I sighed, knowing she was never going to cave in. When it came to what she wanted, she was steadfast. So stubborn that sometimes I wonder where the heck she got it from. Then her father would do something and I wouldn't be having those thoughts again. She was a replica of him. "Fine." I dropped down the ball. "Just don't get in trouble with the butler or any of the staff for that matter. Don't mess up the flower garden, and don't pull any mischievous tricks on your bro

EMILIA'S POVToday's my first day back at work after such a long time of being away. The news of Dan had traveled further than I thought because the minute I stepped into the office, Staff began to come forth, greeting and offering their comforting words. Some even went as far as apologizing for ever doubting me, for taking me as the bad guy when I clearly wasn't. I wasn't impressed by any of that, mostly. I was just glad I could comfortably get back to my work without the usual wide-eyed, bickering, and judgmental gazes. I was going to return to being just another staff member in their midst. That alone, was something I would forever appreciate. "Just how much have I missed?" I asked my assistant, staring at the heap of files on my desk. She laughed gently, shifting her eyes away from her system to focus them on me. "I am afraid but you did miss a handful. But on the great side of things, nothing exciting is going on in the company right now, we are all just trying to cover up for

EMILIA'S POVThe new doctor that Julian had sourced himself stared wide-eyed at the drugs in front of him. He couldn't even hide the shock written all over his face. "You said a doctor prescribed these drugs for you?" He asked, for the umpteenth time. "Yes?" I mumbled, still trying to figure out the cause of his shock. He was making me even more anxious than I already was. He was quiet for a long minute, just staring at the pile of drugs laid out on the table. Then he shook his head, as though to force himself out of the trance, and mumbled, his voice still filled with an immense amount of surprise. "I....I am sorry....I just...what?" He picked one of the drugs and silently read through the description, his mouth still agape. I was getting annoyed by the delay. "I am sorry, are you suicidal?" "No. I told you from the start I wasn't." He was going in circles, repeating the same questions over and over again. "Oh...apologies. I am just shocked a real doctor will prescribe these

JULIAN'S POVAs soon as I walked into the entrance, Emilia fell into my arms, hugging me as her life depended on it. I returned the energy almost immediately, because apparently, my own life depended on having her close. I could remain like that forever. I wasn't even sure how much time had passed, but she was the first to stir out of the hug. I let go of her, giving her enough room to look into my face, but that was about it. I still held her hands tightly, while hers lay on my cheek. "How was it?" She asked, obviously referring to Dan's case."You should be relaxing, not worrying about Dan, I will have it sorted on my own." "But I want to know. Maybe the restlessness I feel might go away afterward. I just need some sort of assurance." "Well, be assured that Dan as you know, isn't going to come after you ever again. I have given my report to the police and a date for the court hearing has been set. You should focus on recovering until then." As much as I despise it, she had to b

JULIAN'S POVIt took much longer than I care to admit to get Emilia to stop crying. Why she was wasting her tears on the bastard, I had no idea. But I let her cry, if anything, hoping that it would bring relief for her at the end of the day. By the time I finally got her to stop crying, Jasper and the rest of his team had already left, wanting to catch up with the cops and give a genuine statement before anyone would intervene. That bastard deserves to rot in hell, and that he will, as long as I am alive and well. “I don’t want you to go after them…” Em mumbled into my chest after a while of silence. “Neither do I want to babe. But someone has to give a firsthand review, someone that is directly related to the case, Jasper isn’t. And I will not allow you to go there. At least not right now.” She nodded without argument, “Don’t stay long, please.” She doesn't have to even say that. Her eyes had spoken even before she did. With the way she was staring at me, I was already counting

EMILIA’S POV“Doctor Dan?”I couldn't wrap my head around the fact that he had been the man who had thrived to make my life a living hell all this time. The media scandals, the disease, the stalking, the kidnapping, the attempted killing, the disease! He did everything. And all this while, I have trusted him with my secrets, even secrets I have never shared with Julian. Why. “Why?” I found myself whispering, the pain of betrayal far more intense than anything else. My eyes blurred with tears and I tried to blink them away, but they were too heavy just to follow the air, so they slipped down to my cheek and were on display for everyone to see. I hated this. I hated having to cry in front of him. In front of anyone even, it made me look weak and that was one of the numerous things I despised. Looking weak in front of people. “Why Dan? Why would you do this? I trusted you with everything? I thought……I thought we were friends.” My hair swirled violently with the wind as I spoke. And

ALEXANDER'S POV FEW DAYS LATER Josh insisted on travelling with Annie after the whole drama died down. According to him, he said he needed it to cool off. I couldn't stop him, he needed it. It had been a hell of a ride for him.It was a new day, the 14th of February. The day my future will be sealed, both in business and in Love.Late the previous day, The chairman had signed the ownership to me, including his shares.That morning, the room was a flurry of activities. My stylist adjusted my tie for the third time, and the event coordinator kept reciting the program line by line.I looked at the full-length mirror. Of course, Rubby had no choice but to fall in love with a handsome dude like me. I wore a navy blue tuxedo with a white shirt. My pocket square was folded to perfection, I looked every inch the CEO of Wolfe's incorporation.My mind drifted to Rubby. I had prepared a surprise for her, and I couldn't wait to see her reaction.She walked in just then looking stunning than ev

JOSH'S POV I swallowed hard and stared at Annie."Why are you doing this?" "For Mirabelle. The one you pushed off the building to her death for a piece of paper."My heart stopped functioning for some minutes.Were they sisters?"I swear, Annie, I didn't do it. I cannot do such a thing.""But you watched it happen?" She muttered and let out a dry, humourless laugh."I am at fault there, but I couldn't help her; it was already late before I could get to her, Annie..." I was weak.Even if I could do anything, I no longer wanted to; she was hurt, and it was justifiable.Just then a car pulled into the driveway; we had little time."Annie, listen," Alex started. I could tell he was desperate."Loosen me, please. Emily lied to you. Why do you think she would offer her shares to you when she's sold them already?"I furrowed my brow in confusion.Had she really sold it, or was Alex making this up?"You are a mother," Rubby muttered."Is this what you want for your son? A mother who is a m

JOSH'S POV The moment I dropped Rubby's call, I pulled into the hospital's building.I needed to get to the root of the matter, and I believed that Alex could sort it out for himself.But then I wondered, what business does Annie have with my mother? And what did it have to do with Mirabelle?"One of you will stay here; one of you will come with me," I ordered the men.I did that to be sure that no one mounts a tracker in my car.Inside the hospital, I was referred to the doctor's office, who, after I told him the reason I came, looked very confused."I didn't make such a call," he muttered.Of course I knew, but I needed to see those who made the call."Was the body moved then?" I asked while carefully scanning the office."I don't think so," he muttered."Well, I think so," I countered. "If they were able to come into this office and go through confidential files, then they might have access to the body. Please check."He nodded in response, and we followed him out.The body was st

ANNIE'S POV I switched off his phone and dialled a number in mine."I have him. "Fulfil your own part of the deal.""Mommy," Micah screamed.I rushed out thinking something bad had happened to him."Mommy, I have a new heart. Now, can I use play now?"My eyes clouded as I remembered how I was able to pay for his transplant.It was the same Alexander who I was about to deliver into Emily's hand.Yes. You read that right.Emily had asked for Alex in exchange for her place in the Wolfe's company; to me, that meant revenge on my sister's killer."Yeah, you can play, but be gentle and don't leave your room no matter what, OK?" I responded gently and walked away, making sure to shut the door behind me.Emily could do nothing to Alex in person, which is why she sent a representative.I sat on the couch waiting for him. I didn't know what was keeping him long, but I hoped he would be back before Josh comes back or before Alex wakes up.I didn't know how long I had waited because I had dozed

ANNIE'S POVI was tense.I was a bag of secrets, but what could I have done? Watch as my sister's killer goes scot-free. All for what? A transfer of ownership?When Mrs Laura brought me back to the Wolfe's mansion, I knew my time had come. What Mirabelle didn't get, I will get and then I will crush each and every one of them that, one way or the other, had a hand in her death.But my son's life was in danger.I needed the money to get him another heart, so I danced to her tune while singing to Emily's drum.I had it all planned out.It was a simple plan, though it escalated really quickly, leaving me heartbroken sometimes.When Alex finally sorted the bills for my child, I began to withdraw. I no longer wanted revenge, but then Emily came with a bigger offer, at the expense of her son.No, her dead son.She told me it was Kevin who killed Mirabelle, but I knew better; I had been on call with Mirabelle before she left to meet him.I had also seen the pictures and videos, the ones Josh

RUBBY'S POV I held my phone close to my heart as if I could feel Alex's heart through it. I was getting scared.The last time he didn't pick up his call, he ended up with Annie.Now this?"What's going on?" I muttered.Every time I looked down at my phone and saw no missed calls or new messages from Alex, my chest hurt a little more.Mom sat watching me with concern written all over her face; Dad, on the other hand, had gone upstairs to make some calls, but I couldn't focus; my thoughts were running wild.I dialled again and again, yet got voicemail."God help me, please," I muttered and clutched the phone tighter to my chest."Rubby," my mom whispered, "you need to sit and breathe. "Look at you; you are shaking, and you know what condition you are in now."I tilted my head and blinked back tears. I couldn't break down, at least not yet.But my voice cracked as I spoke."Something is wrong, Mom; I can feel it. I.....""Baby, you did the right thing by telling Josh; I trust him to ha

Berrilyl's POVTo my surprise, I heard that my brother's pack was left with no alpha and it had been taken over by some group of greedy wolves. The best part of it was that his Luna wife and the others were taken as concubine under the current leader apart from his wife Lucia who had gone earlier with some people of the pack who believed of in her and some of the slaves in the palace that agreed to help her escape. All the slaves he captured had been set free by Lucia but the ones who stayed due to greedy reason were now all under their new leader.In my opinion, Lucia was very lucky she could escape with some of the people I knew were righteous. The rest of them that I even had as friends were all sleeping with Owens behind my back so I didn't care what happened to them since they didn't bother deceiving me or hurting my feelings. They enjoyed my brother and Owens so they could also enjoy the aftermath. I just felt bad a little since I had many memories there but soon I realized t

Berrilyl's POV"Are you still in love with that idiot after everything he put you through?" William asked but I ignored him. What I needed was a way that I could make Cage forgive me for everything that I did. For every single thing that happened between us that I ruined, the people that died and leaving his face like that. There were just too many when I thought of it, and I didn't know how exactly I was going to make him forgive me. I figured out that I'd continue to try no matter what. He was the only true love I ever had."You are thinking about him. Aren't you?" William said looking at me with anger and frustration."Of course I am. Why not?""Really Sis? He punished you. Killed Owens. Turned you into a public slave, allowed people to mistreat you like you were nothing!""Yes, I know. And Owens's death was caused by Cage, and to me, it's a good thing because you knew that bastard was cheating on me, and you encouraged me to get married to him, and with what I did, I kinda deser

Cage's POVI arrived on the scene to witness something that I had not expected: William, cold and firm, was denying Berrilyl. The words coming out of his mouth were so bitter, as if he had no second thought, no remorse about what he was telling her. His eyes, which were usually so cold, were colder, harder than ever. He gazed at her as a stranger, as a failure, as something that could be discarded. There was no sympathy on his face, only complete disinterest.Berrilyl was before him, her own face twisted and pale with feeling. I could observe the shame and remorse reflected in her eyes.I remained in the entrance, observing them, trying to comprehend what I was seeing. A part of me that continued to resent her. The lies, the hypocrisy, that she had been an accomplice to so much pain. But part of me felt sympathy for her. She was also used, duped by the man she loved more than anyone. I was torn at the time, between my anger at her for what she'd done, and the sense that she was a vict

Berrilyl's POVI remained silent at the doorway, concealed in the darkness, ensuring I didn't make any noise. Williams was completely unaware that I was present, hearing everything he said. I didn’t want him to realize I was concealed just behind the door, listening in on what he was saying. My heart pounded while I remained frozen, wishing he wouldn’t see me because I wanted to listen to what he had to say.My heart ached as I listened to the betrayal, the secrets I never could have dreamed of. William's calm, assured tone now trembled with something evil. He spoke of manipulation, and plots to destroy us, and I was only beginning to understand the depth of the lies he had convinced me with. My Alpha, my brother, whom I had thought I could trust and at one point in time even suspected would never desert me, was the architect of my agony.Cage's men were standing in front of me and turned to look at me with their blank faces. It was time. I had heard enough. They had come to drag me fr

Berrilyl's POVI stood there in shock, my eyes fixed on Cage's. My heart was pounding within me, my head spinning from what he'd told me. He'd been so serious, as if he knew so for certain, speaking of something from my past that I didn't remember myself.I didn't believe him, I just didn't want to do that.I couldn't get the words I'd heard him say out of my head.It was William, my brother whom he had raised up, who guarded me, and who had always cared for me. Cage, however, abducted me, he enslaved me, and now he expected me to embrace his reality?I clenched my fists tight, biting the nails of my palms as I spun around and ran towards my room.I needed to get my head together.The moment I closed the door behind me, I inhaled deeply and my chest tightened in rage. My emotions were all tangled up, but one thing was for sure, I just couldn't believe Cage.I jumped at the knock at the door. My body hardened. Had Cage returned?I hesitated and crept toward the door, slowly opening it

Berrilyl's POVWhen I regained my consciousness I looked around and found myself in a very dark place that I could at first hardly see a thing. I tried raising my hands and felt severe pain; I was wounded in different places; it was so painful, and some were deep.Despite that I knew I had to get out of where I was, so I mustered all the courage in me to crawl out of the damn dark room and started shouting for help. My voice wasn't as loud as usual but I did my best to sound loud."Hahaha, oh my! See who's on the floor behaving like a snail. Who's in charge now? You disgusting asshole" I heard a voice say but couldn't clearly identify it."Does your head still hurt? I mean, does your body hurt? I remember throwing you in here, and it made a very loud thud," the man said again, and I realized it was none other than Cain. He had come back to take revenge on me. It became clear to me that all my crawling and shouting was useless and trying to run away from him was hardly going to be im
