Stacy’s pov******Callum’s words had my heart racing, the thought of calling off our little alliance immediately flashed in my head but I waved it off. I had to remind myself again why I was doing this.“This is for Sonya” I thought to myself, nodding.“Stacy!” Callum’s voice brought me back to consciousness . I paused for a bit, gazing at him but the man before me still looked so keenly at me, he was desperately in need of answers.I recalled how I had overheard Stephen and Amanda that night, how they had met secretly in front of Callum’s house. I did not think it was in my position to tell Callum if his wife and best friend were scheming, also it seemed like a dangerous path to thread.“Callum,” I called softly, clearing my throat as I began to speak.“I am only here to help you with Sonya, I know nothing about Your wife and Stephen,” I said sternly, hoping that would make him stop questioning me.“Stacy please, you have to help me on this,” he said, running his hands through his h

Callum’s pov******Stacy’s words reassured me, I was filled with hope just thinking of the agreement we had just struck. I recalled how Sonya had looked that day, how sad she had been when she found out about the public dinner I had with Amanda.“Amand!” I blurted out, recalling that I had not asked Stacy about Amanda and Stephen’s.“Arrghhh” I groaned, tilting my head to the back as I settled in my seat. I had been too occupied with winning Sonya back I totally forgot about Stephen and AmandaI took out my phone, navigating through the screen to put a call through to Stacy, but it was directed to her voice mail. I sighed, cleared my throat before I spoke.“Hi Stacy, I don’t mean to bother you, call me back when you get this we still need to discuss a lot of things” I said, dropping the phone back on the table as I looked around the house, reminiscing in my own boredom.I recalled how my life with Amanda was when we first got married, we had a blissful marriage like any other couple

HOPECallum’s pov******Stacy seemed very shocked to see me, I had to pull her by the hand to the back of my car, constantly looking around the estate to ensure no one sees me.“Callum!” Stacy glared, pulling her hands from mine in a very rough manner. I had no intention of hurting her, I had just been too excited to see her.“What is this about,” she yelled, giving me a deadly steer. I could not tell who did it better between her and Sonya.“Stacy, calm down,” I said, placing my hands on her arms to make her stable.“No Callum, What do you think you are doing…….” She continued to go on and on, drawing attention to us.“Stacy stop!” I yelled, watching as she got startled and paused for a bit looking me in the eye.“Stacy, I don’t mean to startle you,” I began,“I really need your help,” I added, looking intently at her and hoping she would help me.“I cannot help you Callum,” she blurted out, confirming my fears as she pushed her way out of the corner and headed into the house. I c

FINDING THE LEADCallum’s pov**********I drove Amanda to the airport, the ride was a silent one. I kept stealing glances at her as she stayed silent all though.“Are you ok?” I asked, my brows furrowed. I really wanted to know what was running through her mind. She had been that way since she had that call with Stephen.“Em yes,”she stuttered, seeming uneasy. As much as I felt happy seeing her leave, a huge part of me still wanted to know why she had been in such an uneasy mood and what connection she had with Stephen.I watched her walk into the hangar at the airport, my mind reprocessing different thoughts. I knew I had to figure out what she was up to.“I cannot trust Stephen just yet, so who do I talk to,” I muttered to myself as I headed back into the car.“Sonya,” it suddenly hit me. “I should talk to Sonya” I said, starting the Infiniti on and stopping almost immediately. The wave of happiness I felt was immediately crushed when I recalled how Sonya and I had left things the

A NEW DISCOVERY 2Stephen’s pov*********I slammed the phone to the ground as soon as I got off the call, Amanda seemed to be getting too involved in Callum’s affairs and it triggered me. I recalled how we had met in college, how she had fallen in love with me back then.Amanda and I had been the most popular couple in school then, but we had to separate when I had some financial issues. I winced at the thought of losing her again. Amanda had always been materialistic, meeting Callum Peters and striking that deal was all she needed to have me in her corner yet again.“I will not let you leave again Amanda, even if I have to take someone out of the way,” I said to myself, through gritted teeth. *************************MYSTIC WELLS APARTMENT “I am here to see Damon,” I said to the middle aged woman sitting behind the counter at the reception of the apartment. She had her hands on the desk as she ruffled through some papers while simultaneously looking into the computer before her.

A NEW DISCOVERY Callum’s pov**********It was the first time I would be seeing her so vulnerable, it broke my heart to see her hurt so much. If only I could explain to her that I didn’t intend to make her hurt this much.“Sonya, pls don’t cry,” I said, cupping her cheek, but she pushed me away as fast as she could, driving off.I dashed towards my car, following behind her. I hated myself so much at that point. How could she ever forgive me now?“Amanda,” I muttered underneath my breath. It was all her fault for wanting that public dinner date. I felt remorseful for blaming my wife, but I couldn't help it. I had been really hoping for things to turn out well between Sonya and I and just when we were heading somewhere, it became ruined.My cell phone vibrated on the passenger's seat, I glanced towards the screen. “ Stephen” was sprawled across.I kissed my teeth in annoyance, making a mental note to return his call when I catch up with Sonya. Just as I focused back on the road, trail

HIS CURSE; HER BLESSING CHAPTER FIVE (Isla’s POV)I stood with my back against the door, frozen long after Lena had left, her words replayed itself in my mind."I’m here to take back what’s mine."She wasn’t just playing by what she said. She was serious. And that meant I had to act fast.I forced myself to breathe, to push aside the anger burning inside me. If I let Lena get under my skin, I would be walking right into her trap.I wondered why she changed her mind. Or did father told her something I didn't know about? Something about Ethan?No.I had worked too hard to let her ruin this.Squaring my shoulders, I left my room and made my way toward Ethan’s study. I needed to talk to him before she did. Before she could twist everything in her favor.But as I reached the hallway leading to his office, I stopped dead in my tracks.Lena was already there.The door was slightly opened, and I could hear her voice, trying to unbind everything I had binded. "I was foolish to run, Ethan,

HIS CURSE; HER BLESSING (Isla’s POV)The chriping sound of the birds woke me up from my sleep.I barely slept after meeting with Sebastian. His words ringed in my mind, each laced with a warning I couldn’t ignore. I had known stepping into the Seedorf family wouldn’t be easy, but I hadn’t expected to be threatened within the first twenty-four hours.Still, I wasn’t going anywhere.I dressed quickly, choosing a simple outfit, and stepped out of my room. The Seedorf estate was awfully quiet, its grand hallways echoing with nothing but my footsteps.I knew where I had to go.Ethan’s study.If I was going to get through to him, I had to do it now—before anyone else poisoned his mind further.As I reached the heavy wooden doors, I stopped for a few minutes before pushing them open.Ethan sat behind an big desk, dressed in a crisp white shirt with the top buttons undone. His sharp features were darkened by the morning light streaming through the windows. He barely looked up, his finger

HIS CURSE; HER BLESSING(Isla’s POV)Ethan looked at me like I had just shattered his entire world.He grabbed the wheelchair's armrest tightly. His jaw clenched so hard that I thought he was going into a convulsion.But it was his eyes—sharp, calculating, filled with something unknown—that sent a shiver down my spine."What did you just say?" he repeated, his voice a little steady now.I held my ground, meeting his sharp gaze. "I said I can help you walk again."The room fell into another round of suffocating silence.Then, suddenly, he laughed again. A bitter, humorless chuckle that sent chills through me."Is that why you agreed to this marriage?" His voice was laced with mockery. "Did my father send you this pathetic lie to keep me under his thumb? He should know better.”His father? I frowned. "No one sent me. And it’s not a lie."Ethan’s eyes darkened. "You expect me to believe that? That you—a Carter—somehow know more than the best doctors in the world?"I took a slow breath, t

HIS CURSE; HER BLESSING(Isla’s POV)Silence. That was all I could hear after my words left my mouth.Dozens of stunned faces looked at me, some were fascinated with the words coming out of my mouth while others with pity, but most with disbelief. My father’s lips pressed into a thin line, his eyes lurking with mine as if he hadn't expected me to accept so easily. Maybe he thought I would cry, begging for a different fate. But I wouldn’t give him that satisfaction.Evelyn’s face twisted into disbelief, a weird look on her face before she quickly masked it with a delicate sigh. "Oh, Isla," she murmured, stepping forward, her fingers brushing against my arm in mock concern. "Are you sure about this? Marrying a man who… well, who will never walk again?"A few guests chuckle in amusement, making sure I didn't hear them, their whispers crawling over my skin like insects."She’s desperate.""Of course, she would take whatever she can get.""Maybe she thinks she can use him for something.

HIS CURSE; HER BLESSING(Isla’s POV)Laughter filled the grand Carter estate, elegant and refined, except the amusement wasn’t born from joy—it was at my expense. I stood near the grand staircase, my hands clenched into fists, nails digging into my palms as the whispers grew louder."She actually thought she’d get engaged tonight.""Pathetic. Did she really believe someone would want a girl like her?" A voice trolled from the crowd. I kept my head down, my gaze fixed on the marble floor, trying to ignore the hurting words. But how could I? Every single guest at the engagement banquet seemed to find some amusement in my humiliation. I was the black sheep of the family, the girl no man wanted even though I was born into an affluent home. Tonight was supposed to be perfect. The night my elder sister, Evelyn, would be engaged to Ethan Seedorf—the heir to the Seedorf empire, a man of power, wealth, and influence. But more importantly, it was supposed to be the night my family acknowl
