ASTRID’s POVMateo came into my room to say some really weird things. Talking about forgiving him after calling me a slut and some other names which I definitely do not want to remember or play around with. We were in a very compromised situation. He held my waist from behind while I was filled with rage from trying to fight him off, but he wouldn't let me. Like I said I “Was” filled with rage, he talked to me and honestly, I calmed down immediately, he is very good with his words. So good.But let's go back to the situation at hand. In a compromised situation, looking worn-out and the door was slowly opened. Mateo flared his nostrils and forced a smile as I stared at him and I didn't know what he was feeling. We were so stunned that he didn't let me go and I didn't even realize it. Of course, all sorts of emotions ran through my mind at that point, I was speechless and weak in the knees and I knew one thing for sure: if it was Ethan then I was dead, Mateo and I were both going to d

MATEO’s POVI was walking around looking for Astrid to give her the updates about Ethan.. I mean she needs to know, of course. I was walking past so many guests and I met Phoebe who looked delighted to see me and I won't lie I was glad to see her too. She looked like a princess dressed up for a wedding.“Hey, Mateo.. It's been a while, hasn't it?”I nodded.“Of course, it has. How have you been, huh? You look gorgeous by the way.”I complimented her dress and she shook her head. My eyes kept wandering around the million guests in the house and in the garden.“Are you looking for someone, Mateo?”“Yes, Astrid!”I answered and she looked a bit stunned with a confused smile.“Um.. I mean your mum.. It stays a secret between us.”“What? The fact you are looking for her or the fact you addressed your boss's wife by her name?”I chuckled a bit.“How about both?”“Alright.”We both chuckled. I patted her shoulders and walked away still searching for Astrid.‘Where are you, Astrid? It is your

MIKEY’s POVI was enjoying the drama going on but I knew Doug hated it and wanted me to stop but I didn't want to.. It looked really fun teasing his brothers. They get so mad when I stare at Doug, I don't know if they want me to stare at them. Feels like jealousy. I laughed at my thoughts and they looked back at me. “I have some grapes and strawberries in the fridge so you can help yourselves.”“This fool..”Elijah chuckled as he said and then he shook his head.“You are really asking for a beating, right?”“Well according to the law if you ever lay a finger on a lawyer all your properties and everything in your name can be seized..”They all looked confused except for Doug.He tilted his head and looked around.“Relax, he is lying. There is no such law.. But there is a law.. See, whatever mike. None of my brothers is going to kill you.. Just help us..”“Can I talk to you for a minute, Doug?”“Um.. Excuse me?”Ares whispered.“I mean I want to talk to Douglas, your baby brother alone

DOUGLAS’s POVWe all immediately looked up when his guest called me and I felt disgusted. Why did she call me that? I wonder what Mikey has said to her about me for her to call me with so much confidence.He didn't call me for days because of her? He met a girl and forgot all about me? I blinked my eyes because I knew that wasn't the full truth. I started it, I decided not to call or check in with him if he was mad seeing me fucking Natalia, or not. I just thought he would reach out and now he is with a girl.. Fuck.“Yes? That is me.”Mikey stared at her and she walked over and held his hands.He had a little grin on his lips and I saw how he winked at her. The expression was all over my face and I wondered how my brothers would be taking it.“I know you, right? You Doug, you are the man who helped those kids by the roadside one time.”I wasn't sure what she was talking about but I have helped quite a few people so I wasn't sure about the exact one she was talking about.“Un.. Maybe,

MIKEY’s POVMichelle and I were hitting it off pretty good and I was very focused on her. ‘Maybe I am not entirely Gay.’I thought as I stared at how she wiggled her waist. “Michelle.. You are very pretty and those eyes.. Michelle.. Argh.”I moaned softly and she chuckled.“You are so easy, Mikey.”I nodded.“I guess I am and a lot of people have used that against me.. They always want to use me for my goodness and I just keep letting them.. It is draining, you know.”She nodded and then pulled my hand to stand up, and I did.“Where are you taking me?”“Well, you said no fucking because this is your office, but at least you can give me some head, right?”I laughed hard and so did she.“You say the most random things ever, Michelle.. Are you always like this?”She blinked her lashes and shook her head.“I hate feeling disrespected or taken for granted in any type of way, so I try as much as possible to respect boundaries but I don't know what it is about you, Mikey.”We stood in sile

MATEO’s POVI walked up to Ethan and he looked frustrated and angry. “Hello, sir.. Um.. I am late, I know.. I just had to..”“How do you do it, Mateo?”I raised an eyebrow and quickly looked around as the guests were coming in like flocks. Ethan and Astrid are obviously big deals in the country and around, especially Ethan, so it wasn't a surprise.“Mateo!”He drew my attention back to him and I was still left in surprise and a bit shocked. “What do you mean.. I don't understand..”“I know you wouldn't, Mateo, because it is probably not a big deal to you.”One of his friends Cherki walked up to him from behind and they hugged lightly before he left for the inside.He looked back at me and told me to follow him back inside. I nodded and walked behind him. We walked up to his study, which was next to his room. I caught Astrid staring at us and she looked genuinely concerned or was it fear? I wasn't sure. Of course, anyone would be scared. Imagine your husband going to his study to dis

Ava snappily nodded and Taylor smiled."Nothing about fashion is simple. Designing, drawing, presenting, and so on. You need to look at a person and decide what they will wear. I mean, can you imagine that? You just need to stare at a stranger and guess their fashion style""How is that possible?""Lily, that is why you need to pay attention to all the little details. Do you understand me? Do not be in a hurry to learn, because if you rush then you will miss a lot of information, and it will be hard to get it back."Ava nodded and continued staring at the drawings in front of her."Taylor, how did you come up with these drawings? Did you picture them in your heart or your head?"Taylor grinned at Ava's words, then she tapped her shoulders."Lily, when it comes to fashion, then you need to use all you got to make it happen. Be it your head or your heart, it doesn't matter as long as you get what you want, do you understand me?""Yes, I understand, Taylor. So, how do I start drawing? Wh

Harper looked at Logan and broke the hug. She walked back to her seat and pinched her skin.She was not sure why she also loved him, but she knew she did, and it was beyond her powers. She was in love with him even though she knew deep in her body that he never truly loved her, but she was not ready to lose him."Harper, what are you thinking about? I asked you a question, right? Why do you love me so much even after everything, huh? At least you must have a reason, don't you?""To be sincere, I don't have a reason, Logan. The truth is you are the first man who has ever shown me true love. I get that we fight and argue a lot, but who doesn't, right? Every couple in love must always have misunderstandings.""I understand you, Harper, but what we share is not genuine and you know it! You are only trying to deny it, but you and I both know that we don't truly love each other anymore."Harper stood up and hit the desk with all her might. She was mad at him for giving so many excuses. He k

Back in Los Angeles, Logan and his mother are having a big disagreement about the family's business going down. Sales have been really low, and his mother has not been happy about it."Logan, what is wrong? This is the lowest we have gone in 20 years! What is happening? Can't you handle this like a grown-up?""Mother, I am trying my best, alright? Maybe if you tried to calm down and understand everything from my perspective, then you would see I am doing the best I can.""No, you are not, Logan! You are not! The sales have been poor for over a year now. Why is that?"He kept running his hands through his hair and trying to maintain his composure, but he was not having it. He was frustrated about how his mother and Harper treated him like he was some kind of child. He was also secretly looking for Ava in Los Angeles because he thought she was somehow still there and never left. Logan knew that if he got married to Harper then his life would be almost over. "Mother, maybe we are paying

In a nutshell, Logan deceived Ava countless times, and she kept falling for it because she loved him. He lied to her and told her countless times that Harper was only forging herself on him. When she returned to work there, he got her pregnant again. When she found out that she was pregnant she was devastated as she didn't know what to think or even do. Ava approached Logan and told him about the pregnancy and the first thing he said was that she should remove the child because his mother would never let him get married to a pregnant woman and, foolishly, she believed and did what he wanted. Her parents, especially her father, were against the abortion, but Ava only wanted to please Logan. Her father threatened to divorce her, but she still didn't change her mind and went ahead with it. The second pregnancy came by surprise to her, but she refused to abort again and that is why she is in the situation she is in now.Now back to reality, Emily, Lucas's ex-girlfriend, has been going abo

Lucas called Ava downstairs and she quickly walked over.“I thought you would be fast asleep, Ava. What are you still doing awake, my dear?”Nana asked Ava and she sat close to her.“Well, Nana, I have been thinking about a lot of things”“Fine, I told Lucas to call you because I am going to bed now, okay? Take care, my child”She patted Ava’s head and then walked to her room. Lucas and Ava also held hands and walked into their room.“I will take a shower, Ava”Lucas said to Ava and she sat on the desk and took her journal. Now back to how she went back to him. When Shawn left Ava’s house that day she cried so much she almost fainted because of how hurt she was. She swore never to forgive him or go back to his house. She deleted his number and said she would work to erase all the memories they shared together. After a week Ava went to the playground close to her house to take some pictures and have fun but she met with an unexpected guest, Shawn. He was with Logan and they were with

Ava stood up and walked out to check on Lucas who was with his Nana downstairs. She went ahead to hug them both before going to her room. So should I continue my story about Logan or not? I think everyone wants to know just a little bit more. Ava said to herself.Like she said earlier she didn't stop at that. Everything didn't end when she lost her virginity to Logan that night. It was so obvious that he only wanted her for his fun because he never treated her like a virgin that night. She limped back to her room and she even had a few cuts. The next day he sneaked into the kitchen when it was just Ava and he handed some pills to her. He said they would heal whatever pain she was feeling and she was glad. Ava hated Logan before then because she thought he never cared. She thinks he noticed and of course, he had to act fast that was why he bought her those drugs. When he handed them to her she felt special like he didn't want her to be hurting. He asked for a hug but at first, she tr

AXELL’s POVAvery called and told me that she and Shawn are planning on running a DNA test on Shawn and Logan. “Has it gotten to that?”“Yes, it is, Axell. I have always had my doubts. No one in my family or Shawn’s is colorblind, so how is Logan colorblind?”“Avery, so if the father isn't Shawn then who is?”“I don't know, Axell, but I would be so glad if he isn't. You wanna come along with us to get the results?”“Have you both run the test? We will give the doctors samples today”I followed her and we did all the necessary things. We got back and I told her I needed to fly to Mexico to meet with the godfathers with some evidence against Lucrecia and Paolo, so they would be punished.She insisted on coming with me, and we took Logan along. It was more like a family trip, and I’d promised Logan that I would fly him in my private jet.Everyone else followed, Bryson and Camila.We stayed at the same penthouse that I and Bryson stayed over the last time. Paolo had no idea when we arri

AVERY’s POVHe stared at me with a face full of surprise, but I overheard all he said last night, and I cried so much in my sleep. I also had a dream of waving and saying goodbye to my parents. I had finally found their killer, so I had fulfilled my biggest heart desire.“Avery..”“All these times, Axell, you were the one behind their death and you never said a word! You are a beast!”“Babe, please hear me out, please. I.. I.. I am also a victim. My parents were killed and I needed to avenge them. Your parents were no saints either. They had a hand in my parent's death, but I didn't kill them, Paolo did”I stared at him. How was I supposed to react? I can't believe I lost my memory for weeks and let Shawn get close to me. I didn't remember anyone, including my son. I can't believe I pushed Axell down through the balcony. What if something bad had happened to him?I stared at him and how helpless he looked. In my sleep, I heard him cry himself to sleep. When I woke up I saw him holding

AXELL’s POVI had several cuts, and I struggled to get back on my feet. I think I broke my leg.“Avery!”I screamed but there was no answer.Did she run away? That was the first thought that came to my head.I saw Logan running toward me, and I told him to go get Bryson and Camila.I was bleeding so much and I couldn't stand on my feet.My guards arrived and they lifted me up to the car.I saw Bryson walking down the stairs with Avery in his hands.“What.. What happened to her..”I tried getting out of the car but fell on my knees.The guards held me back up, but I was determined to go to Avery.“Hey man, I think she passed out when she watched you fall. We need to get the both of you to the hospital right now, get in”“Bryson.. How..”“Axell, get in the car now. You need to see a doctor”I got in and he followed behind us with Camila and Logan.When we arrived I pleaded with them to first attend Avery, but they said we were both important.We got treated in the same ward and were lef

SHAWN’s POVThe truth is I never expected a day like this to come. When I received the call from Camila asking me to come to the hospital I was surprised. Feels like Avery never really moved on from me. She must still be crazy over me. I will use this to my advantage. That dude of hers is popular and has lots of money, I will make sure to extort him using Avery.She has always been very useful to me ever since we met. I saw someone better and I left her pregnant, it was wrong of me, but it isn't new, and I am back now. I saw her son, Logan, or should I say our son. I am not here for him though, I am here to make my life better, so he can wait.“Avery, is there anything you want?”“No. Who are you to me?”Camila was behind me, so I wasn't free enough.“Well, I am..”“He is a friend to you.. A friend”Camila quickly said and I nodded too. This bitch. ****************It was late and I left. I promised to come to see her the next day and she agreed.The next day I came and the day after

AXELL’s POVI was so close to tears, but I had to be strong. I held Logan in my arms, he had been crying heavily upon realizing that his mother didn't recognize him. I can not believe this. How did she forget about all of us including her name? I stared at the doctor and he said we should all follow him to his office.“Mum.. Mummy..”Logan pointed with tears rolling down his cheeks at Avery who kept staring at us in awe.“It is fine, baby. It is fine”I patted on his back and calmed him down.When we got to the doctor’s office, I could see the pain in his eyes. He probably didn't expect that himself.“Mr Axell I can imagine how you and your family must be feeling right now”Camila was wailing heavily, Bryson hugged her and tried to keep her calm.“Logan, mummy will be fine and back, okay? I will make sure of that, huh?”The doctor said and Logan nodded. “Doctor, what is the way forward right now? She doesn't remember anyone, not even her name”“I know that Mr Axell. I guess she was

AXELL’s POV“She came around and told me about my doctor's appointment, which I agreed to go with her. She angrily left the room and said she would wait for me outside, but then I heard a loud thud outside the room. When I ran out I was lying unconscious down the stairs. I think she slipped”She said with a little tear rolling down her cheeks.I looked away, but then..“Wait. The farmhouse doesn't have stairs, does it?”She shook her head.“I wasn't in the farmhouse. I was in your room..”“In my room doing what?”I angrily said to her, and she moved away from me.“I thought about doing some cleaning for you..”“I have enough help around the house to take care of that, you bitch!!!”I screamed and Bryson held me back.“Calm down, man”“If she wasn't in my room, Avery wouldn't have gone into the house and she wouldn't be in this situation now! I also blame myself because I told her to go get you! Ever since you came into our lives..”I fell to the ground again and tears rolled down my c

LENA’s (LUNA’s POV)As soon as Maverick stepped outside Amelia hugged him tightly but I didn't know the right expression to give. I was confused and tired at that point. I wiped off the little tears on my eyelids and smiled at him. I gave him a soothing smile and he smiled back.“The doctor just left, Maverick. I have told you to always be careful but you never truly listen, now look at this. This is what you got yourself into, with your own hands, Brother.”He patted her cheeks and kissed her forehead.“This is no one's fault. Absolutely no one's fault, Amelia.”He said softly as he stared at me like he knew and heard everything she said to me. Everything she blamed me for. I looked away and I could hear him sigh.“Um.. Maverick. I am glad that you are fine and back on your feet. I will be in my room, excuse me.”Before I could walk away he stopped me again.“Running away again? You are very used to running away a lot, Lena, why? Does it make things easier for you?”He said and I tur

LENA’s (LUNA’s POV)The doctor kept stealing glances at me and I doubted it was anything sexy or because he liked me, he looked like he was trying to signal me to walk away. I kept glaring at Amelia, to see if she should say a word about me excusing them to talk. He just went up there and attended to Maverick, so of course I want to know what's wrong too. Maverick is also like family or should I say a good friend.. Man.. Whatever, I just knew I was also interested in whatever he had to say to Amelia.“Um.. Hello, and you are?”The doctor after 10 business days finally extended his hand for a shake and greeted me.“Ah, me? I am Lena.. A friend to the family.”I said with a weird ass smile and a tone. I was surprised he finally said a word to me because he looked like he wanted me to leave and just go away.“A new family friend?”He looked at Amelia as he asked and I wasn't sure what it was or why he stared at her like that.‘Isn't you just a doctor? Why the fuck are you so interested i

LENA’s (LUNA’s POV)I was in the kitchen helping the chefs out with the food, while Amelia was upstairs with the doctor and her brother. I needed something to clear my head of all that was happening that morning. Since he woke up screaming his lungs out, he has not been good. He talked about a dead wife too, I never knew he was married.He looked and screamed like he needed his sister earlier.. I hated seeing him that way. I also cried hard. He is a very good man and I won't lie that I am kind of growing feelings for him, he makes it so easy to fall for him. How he talks, how he relates with people, and how he smiles too. He is very convincing and daring too. I was in nude shorts and a singlet. “Ma’am, the spaghetti is almost done, do you wanna mix it up, or what?”One of the chefs asked and I told her that I would. She was getting all the ingredients ready while I stood watching the pot and reminiscing on my call with my daughter, Natalia. I felt very relieved hearing her sweet voic

MAVERICK’s POVIt was morning and I swear I heard a cock crow, or it was probably just my imagination. I stood up from the bed, walked over to the big window staring hard at what looked like a clown just outside my gate, it felt as though it was calling out to me.. It kept waving and I was confused. “Um.. Who is here? Hey guys! Guys!!!”I screamed but there was no answer. The clown turned around like it was leaving but then stopped when I exhaled. “Why is it stopping?”It turned back around, pointed its clown fingers at me, and then slowly walked into my gate, and I have never had such a jumpscare in my life before.“Hey, go back! Hey! This is not your house!!!”I screamed out to it, and quickly pulled out a guy as I ran as fast as I could downstairs.I was only in pants and my hair was scattered all over my face, but I didn't care.. I wasn't sure what was happening, but it looked good. I felt good.“Is this real?”I said softly as I carefully and slowly stepped down the stairs, wit

ZANE’s POVSlowly we walked to her office upstairs and I saw Nyra staring up at me at Ms. Smith in disgust. She has always hated her so much.. I mean rightly so because no matter how hard I try to deny and run away from it I know for a fact that Nyra has feelings for me but it's overwhelming. Ever since my situation with Luna I've tried to avoid any brewing feelings in my workplace.. We got to the office and she immediately threw her bag into the chair, and looked back at me with a grin.“Oh, Zane.. Why? Why do you do this? You make me look desperate, and make me look like a Jezebel..”‘You are one.’I thought.“I.. You know what I want, Zane.. Just once..”She tried touching me but I slightly moved away and she groaned in anger and walked over to sit on her desk.“Zane.. What is it you want? I mean we have shared a kiss before, right? So, what is it? I think having lots of women flock around you is maybe getting to your head, huh? Is it?”“Ms. Smith, I'm just trying to make sales an

ZANE’s POV (LAS VEGAS)Muffled chattering“The market has been going a bit well this week, it doesn't feel real.. It feels so unreal and..”“Hey! Stop chatting shit and go get Zane.. His customers will be arriving soon..”I heard one of the waiters scream at Nyra who was happily getting along with some customers.“Yes, sir.. Because you are a sadist doesn't mean everyone needs to be, alright? Dickhead.”She walked away and they both stared at each other with rage as she walked over to where I was seated.“Can you imagine that bitch? That dumb fuck..”“I know, I know, I heard him.. Just so you know., I pulled her closer and whispered in her ear “He is only jealous because you have won customers' favorite 3 times in a row now.” I said and we both shook hands and chuckled softly.“I mean you do have a point Zane, I would also be mad at me if I weren't me..”I nodded and she patted my cheeks.“The Bar is gonna be filled today.. I can fill it.”I nodded lazily and she sat next to me.“What
