Chapter: Chapter 221Kiara's POV Time to slow to a halt and believe when I said I'd never been this terrified in my life. My heart thumped loudly in my chest. In fact, it was so loud, I honestly thought the said organ was going to tear through my chest till it was sprawled on the cabin floors. While that was a pretty gruesome sight to see, I wouldn't exactly mind it. At least, if I was dead, then I wouldn't have to face the man in front of me. I wasn't overly dramatic, but you just had to believe me when I said that nothing, absolutely nothing could compare to the fury that was radiating off Darius. I honestly thought it I ignored the danger in front of me, then maybe, just maybe it would go away. But I was wrong, very very wrong. His eyes pinned me the moment the word left my lips. The cabin. I’d said it, unthinking, and now it clung to the air between us like smoke refusing to clear.Like that wasn't bad enough, I'd even gone into details about where the damned bookshelf was and what not. Shit.

Chapter: Chapter 220Darius' POV I wasn't one to be easily pressured, but I would be lying if I said that Rhian's words didn't get to me, and in more ways than one too. Then we test her. And I just gave you a chance to find out the truth. This is the only way you'd get your answer. It'd been a full blown day since we had that conversation, but our conversation still hadn't left my mind. If anything, his words echoed loudly in my ears, over and over again and no matter how hard I tried to push them out, it felt like I was only making it easier for them to come back into my mind again. I hadn't slept properly, and if it meant anything, I still hadn't gone to see Kiara. After her second slip up, the atmosphere turned tense, and awkward. Luckily for the both of us, I didn't hang around to make it any more worse. While that sounded like the best thing to do then, I hated that it now came with so many doubts and what not. Test her. Break her. Last night was thick with silence, but my mind refused to re

Chapter: Chapter 219Darius' POV The floor of my study had worn thin beneath my boots. I’d been pacing since dawn, the grain of the wood beneath my steps carving into my skull with every turn. With how many times I'd walked across the floors of my study, it was a miracle how the wood hadn't worn out, or caved underneath my boots. I hadn't thought about it before, but whoever had built this deserved a fucking damn raise for surviving the pounding of my footsteps all through last night. The fire in the hearth hissed and cracked, but it couldn’t drown out the echo of her voice. Nothing could do that, no matter what I tried. Then why did you leave me at the cabin that night?Her voice has been so soft and fragile, like a porcelain glass scared of shattering to her own death. Kiara had said she had no idea who I was, and she remembered nothing that we shared but how, how had she been able to make reference to that? Was it really a slip, a fragment of her memories coming back, or just a bloody damn lie?

Chapter: Chapter 218Kiara’s POV Of all the ways I thought tonight would end, best believe this kiss wasn't one of them. Hell,I'd been scared that Darius had been lurking in front of my door for quite some time now, and how their fuck did I show him that I wasn't exactly pleased with it? I kissed him. I fucking kissed the man like my life depended on it. His lips moved over mine with such reverence. It felt more like he was worshipping me more than anything else. His tongue slowly pushed into my mouth and the moan that slid past my lips was priceless. It echoed all around us, while it sailed up to the roof to make its nest there. His hands cupped my cheeks and his fingers trailed around my neck at my nape before he spoke. “Kiara.” His voice was low, so low it made my toes curl. He didn't say anything else after that, but I didn't miss the way his hand slowly slid down my side. He wasn't as free as he used to be with me, and I wondered if that had anything to do with the fact that I'd told him I

Chapter: Chapter 217Kiara's POV The silence in the room returned after Hazel’s footsteps faded down the corridor, but it was no longer the same silence as before. This one was alive, thrumming against my skin like static, heavy with the knowledge that he was still there. I tried to shake it off, but the more I tried, the harder it became. I couldn't see him, but it still didn't stop his presence from being known. Perhaps it had everything to do with the fact that I knew he was the alpha, or not, but whatever it was, it made his aura stronger than the usual kind. It seeped in from underneath the door, through the cracks in the walls, and into the room and my nostrils. The said aura tickled my skin, and I couldn't deny the fact that it actually felt familiar. I could feel him, no, sense him, lingering just beyond the door.Alpha Darius. The title rolled around in my head, strange and too sharp, like it didn’t fit yet somehow belonged. There was something about that title that I couldn't place my fing

Chapter: Chapter 216Kiara's POV The silence pressed too heavy against my ears. I'd heard that silent moments often tended to be comfortable, but right now, I wasn't sure I shared in that sentiment at all. The silence around me wasn't the least bit equivalent to peace. If anything, there was more chaos in the so called quiet than any other period in my life, and I couldn't help but wonder why. I really did try my best to get rid of it. Earlier, I'd started drumming my fingers against the bed side table, but it was only so long before my fingers hurt and went numb. I'd tried humming, but my throat dried almost immediately, and at a point, I'd even started whistling, but nothing seemed to be working. It didn't help that my mind was a whirlwind of emotions as well. I kept hearing my own voice from earlier, sharp and foreign in my mouth. Who are you?It was one thing to have woken up from something I didn't think I was going to survive. Till now, I still couldn't find the right surfs to describe what t

Chapter: Chapter 127First Person’s Perspective – Enise’s POV I drove back to the Alpha’s mansion, my hands gripping the steering wheel so tightly my knuckles turned white. My mind was a mess, and Diana’s words kept replaying in my head. *Selfish. Selfish. Selfish.* Was I really that selfish? Maybe this was even for the best? My phone buzzed, and I glanced at it. It was a text from Miracle. *“Doctor Denise, please come home fast. Daddy is acting crazy, and I’m scared.”* My heart sank. Miracle was just a child. She didn’t deserve to be caught up in all this. I pressed the accelerator, speeding toward the mansion. Whatever was going on, I had to be there for her. When I finally reached the gates, I expected the guards to let me in as usual. But they didn’t. They stood there, blocking the entrance, their faces stern. “What’s going on?” I asked, rolling down the window. “Let me in.” One of the guards stepped forward. “I’m sorry, ma’am. The Alpha gave strict orders. You’re not allowed inside.”

Chapter: Chapter 126First Person’s Perspective –Enise’s POVI literally raced into the coffee shop. My hands shook as I scanned the whole place in search of my best friend as I was already at the verge of tears. Anna was already there, sitting at our usual booth in the corner. She looked up as I approached, her expression shifting from curiosity to concern the moment she saw my face. She rose to her feet immediately “Enise,” she said, standing up. “What’s wrong? You look like you’ve seen a ghost.” I sank into the chair across from her, my shoulders slumping. “I messed up, Anna. I messed up big time.” I said. Tears welling up in the corner of my eyes. My heart was thumping really hard in my chest Anna leaned forward, squinting her eyes as she searched mine for any hint about what I was talking about “What happened?” I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself. “Last night… Lucas and I were drinking. I got drunk, and I… I told him everything. Who I really am. What we’ve been doing. Everything.

Chapter: Chapter 125First Person’s Perspective – Enise’s POVI woke up with a pounding headache, my head was banging so hard, as though I had been hit in the head with a harmmer the night beforeThe sunlight peeped through the curtains making me squint and rub my eyes with the back of my palm. For a moment, I just lay there, trying to recall together the events of last night. My mind was foggy, hazy even but I remembered the riot, the chaos, and Lucas’s despair, how he had complained of been a failure and how guilt had been eating at me, I also remembered drinking with him, but everything after that was a blur. It was as though my mind was shut blank afterwards and I couldn't remember a single thing afterwards Before I could think too much about it, the door creaked open, and Miracle came bolting into the room. She was already dressed in her school uniform, her backpack slung over one shoulder and a very bright smile on her face. One that was enough to make me smile too and forget all about my worries

Chapter: Chapter 124First Person’s Perspective –Enise’s PO I sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the floor. My mind was all over the place, replaying the conversation with Lucian over and over again. His words echoed in my head: *“Try and stop me, then. See how far you get.”* I clenched my fists, frustration piling up inside me. Lucian was stubborn, and once he set his mind to something, he wouldn’t stop until it was done. I had to find a way to stop him before it was too late. But how? How could I possibly do that?. He had all the resources, All the power and support from Diana. I sighed, running a hand through my hair. My thoughts were a mess. I couldn’t think straight. All I knew was that I couldn’t let Lucian kill Lucas. Not for Miracle’s sake. Not for mine. A knock on the door pulled me out of my thoughts. I looked up, startled. “Come in,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper. The door opened, and Lucas walked in. He looked tired, his shoulders slumped, and his eyes dull. He closed th

Chapter: Chapter 123First Person's Perspective – Lucas's POVI stood in the balcony of my study, my glass in hand, staring down at the city below. The lights flickered across the skyline, but to me, everything seemed to be crumbling. I could see it all—the decay, the rot, the cracks in the foundation of everything my father had built. His legacy, my legacy, was slipping through my fingers, no matter how hard I tried to hold on.I took a sip of my drink, the bitterness matching the taste of failure in my mouth.I had tried, damn it, I had. But every effort seemed wasted. Every move I made, every decision I took, just seemed to make it worse. A force, invisible but so very real, was dragging me down, holding me back. I had tried to steer things in the right direction, but I was only making it worse.And now, I could hear the whispers, the rumors that had been circulating for weeks. Some group of people had banded together, a faction calling for my impeachment. Their anger was palpable, their voices rising

Chapter: Chapter 122First Person's Perspective – Enise's POVI sprang to my feet, my heart in my mouth as I stared at Lucian, unable to comprehend the words that had just left his mouth. He looked like he had just delivered the most casual announcement, but the words hit me like a cold slap to the face. “What did you say?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper, but it cracked under the weight of his revelation.Lucian didn’t seem to care about my confusion. He stood, his expression serious, yet tinged with something dark and triumphant. “The plan was always clear,” he said, folding his arms across his chest, his eyes narrowing as he continued, “Take everything from Lucas, ruin his life, and then…” He leaned in closer, the sinister edge in his voice unmistakable, “end him.”My breath caught in my throat, and I could feel my legs wobble beneath me. No. This couldn’t be what I agreed to. This wasn’t the plan at all. “No,” I whispered, shaking my head furiously. “No, no, no. Lucian, that wasn’t part of th
