I need your thoughts on this chapter. What do y’all think? Who killed Jacob and what is that axe doing in Austin’s closet?
Hi guys👋 I know most of you didn’t expect the book to end this way, most of you wanted Jacob to be back but sadly it didn’t happen. However the last chapter ended with a cliffhanger so there may or may not be a “book two” it all depends on what the platform wants. I hope they accept “book 2” because I have so many uncovered secrets to tell and of course, I have a character that I will love to bring back. Anyways, please support me by recommending the book, commenting, voting, and reviewing it. The more support I get, the more the chances of the “book 2”being accepted sooner. I had a lovely time writing this book and now that it’s over, I couldn’t be any more excited to write the “book 2” of it. Thank you so much, everyone, have a lovely holiday and new year. P.S. Check out my other book. Unwanted Mafia King is one of the best.
I rest my head on the counter, feeling the cool surface against my skin. My eyes close and I take a deep breath, trying to get the sleep I desperately deserve. It’s only seven am and I’m feeling extremely drained, I guess that coffee I took earlier isn’t strong enough.Sighing, I realized how much I loathe mornings because I'm always exhausted. The struggle is real--waking up by six in the morning and getting to bed by eleven at night is just so daunting. And the annoying part of this is that I have no choice because my first job requires me to be there by seven am. This is because my boss says that "People need to have their breakfast early" but I seriously think he said that because he likes to earn more money that’s why he opens the cafe by eight am and closes it by ten. Every single day is the same stress and pressure except for Sunday when I use my church time to sleep. I know it’s not the right thing to do but I’m pretty sure God will forgive me for that. Ugh, it's happening ag
"I admire your confidence, I have a job for you.""Huh!" I bit my lip sheepishly. The lycan releases me from his grip as he leads me to the chair where he pulls the chair back for me and commands "Sit!" I hesitate briefly, taking a quick glance at him before sitting on the chair. "Talk to her." He commands one of his men. I look between them wondering what’s going on. The room goes silent as the man wearing a red shirt starts to speak "We have a contract for you, Bella.""How do you know my-""Shh." The Lycan hiss cutting me off. "Just hear him out."The red shirt guy opens the document, pulls a pen out of his pocket, and turns the document to face me. "Sign on it." "Why? What does it say?" I ask He opens his mouth to speak but clasps it shut. He looks around presumably to make sure no one is listening to our conversation before he speaks "It says you get whatever you want.""I don’t understand. Why does it say that?" I inquire "Just sign the contract." The lycan says "I can’t s
I arrive at the hospital, my heart pounding with fear for Layla. I sprint towards the receptionist's desk, but then I see Kate. She's sitting in the waiting area, tears streaming down her face. "Kate," I whisper, my voice trembling. She stands up and rushes towards me, wrapping her arms around me. I can feel her sobs shaking her body as she clings to me. "Bella," She whispers. I can feel my tears welling up as I realize that something terrible has happened. I just hope it’s not what I think it is. "What happened? Is it Layla?" I ask, my voice shaking with fear.Kate pulls away from me, her eyes red and puffy. "Yes," She chokes out. "The doctor says we have to make the payment soon because she needs to be operated on urgently." She says My heart drops to my stomach as I realize how serious the situation is. "Or?" I ask, my voice barely above a whisper."We might lose her."I feel a lump form in my throat as I try to process the information. "Did the doctor give any time limit?" I as
"Once you sign this, there is no going back." Jacob warns. Jacob came to the hospital quickly, arriving just five minutes after I called him. It was almost as if he was already on his way here."My sister is dying. I have no other choice." I say. Jacob lets out a deep sigh and hands me the pen. "You should sign here and there." He says, pointing to the areas on the document that need my signature.I take the pen, looking at the contract, my heart is pounding in my chest. Just two signatures and my life will flip. I don't know if I can do this. I only know that once I sign on this, I'm done. The Lycan will ruin my life, I just know it. And with all I've heard about him, I can feel my life crumbling down already. He's a monster, and I don't know how I'm going to survive living with him for 182 days. It’s gonna be a nightmare but at the same time, I can't let Layla suffer. She's been through enough, and I promised her that I’m not gonna let anything happen to her; I have to keep my pr
~BELLA’S POVI wake up to the ray of sunlight creeping through my window, groaning I turn around and cover my face with a pillow. I am beyond exhausted and I don’t even want to get started with how angry I am; mostly at myself. I still can not believe I went ahead with what Matt said and left Layla to spend the night alone at the hospital. I mean, she’s just thirteen years old, god knows how scared she will be when she wakes up and realizes I’m not there with her. She’s gonna freak out about it and she already has enough to deal with - her illness, the treatments, and now this. Oh my God, I’m such a bad sister, I shouldn’t have left her alone like that. I swear to god, if Layla freaks out about this, I won’t care what the doctors will say, I will stay with her all night whether it means sleeping on the waiting chairs or sleeping while standing, I’m just not gonna leave her alone. I sit up from bed with a sinking feeling in my chest. The guilt gnaws at me, amplifying the anger coursin
"How long is she gonna be unconscious?" I ask the nurse in charge of Layla."I don’t know but the main surgery will take place in two weeks so between does time she will be conscious."I release a heavy breath "She’s gonna be fine after the surgery, right?""Yes, she’s gonna." She responds I smile and turn my gaze back to Layla. Tugging a strand of hair behind her ear, I take her hand in mine. I can not wait for her to be fine, to finally be there with me. I miss her voice, her smile, her mischief; I miss everything."I love you, Layla, get well soon," I murmur as I use my thumb to caress her hand before I leave a peck on it. My attention is drawn to the nurse behind me when she speaks "Miss Bella." In response, I turn around and reply to the nurse "Please call me Bella." I insist"Umm…. Okay, could you please come with me for a minute, I need to speak with you privately. " She says, her tone is slightly somber, causing a flicker of unease to wash over me."Is everything okay?" I as
I stare at my reflection in the mirror, tilting my head to the side as I check myself out. I bit my bottom lip, wondering if the dress is okay or not. Austin picked out the dress for me and I kinda find it a little revealing. I am wearing a sleeveless black tulle gown with white flowers, sequins, appliqué, and a deep V-neck. The back is also open in the same style as the front, with a slit exposing my leg. I have never worn a dress like this before, normally it’s always cozy and baggy outfits for me but tonight’s outfit is just way different. I’m not really comfortable in it and not to mention I am wearing a heel with it. I have never worn heels before. Releasing a heavy breath, I look away from the mirror, considering if I should change into something else. I look through the rack checking each outfit trying to find something that I like. I notice a cute two-piece outfit that hung on a hanger together. It’s a long-sleeved top and a high-waisted, knee-length skirt. I grab the hanger
