DAELYN’S POV:“Dae, I found a secret garden where we can hang out.” The kid wearing a silver white shirt paired with black shorts exclaimed as he dragged the little girl with him.“Really, these people won’t find us there.” The little girl who was wearing a white frock with little flower patterns, beams as the latter smiled.That’s when it dawned on me, this was a memory not a dream. I remember that day as if it was yesterday. We found that there was a little secret garden around the lake behind the house. We started hanging out there very often. Well……Until that fateful day, the day he ran away from that prison of a house.To say I was disappointed was an understatement. He left me all alone, like my parents. I trusted him but in the end I was alone. That disappointment faded as the days passed, instead I felt relived. Relief washed over me as I finally realised that he was safe now. Away from the harsh criticism and comparisons. I felt happy for him but was a little salty that he
ALASTAIR'S POV:"Kill him, he's of no use for us right now." I, Alastair Emrys also known as The phoenix to the underground mafia world. "You said you would spare me if I told you the truth." The man screamed, honestly I didn't care if they lived or died."Now shift all of these to our warehouse and kill all of the remaining ones." I ordered my right hand man Julian Cruz.I, The phoenix am Alastair Emrys was known as the most ruthless mafia leader of the exodus club. I am also the chairman of the Light Corp. which is one of the leading companies in the world. But as for now all the shareholders tried to get me married, so I can settle down and have kids or whatever but apparently I didn't have any interest in getting married. I snapped out of his thoughts when Julian called my name. "Um, Als we found an omega in here" Julian said."Whatever the hell you mean, Lian." I shouted, I was beyond annoyed that day, all I wanted was a little rest and was that too much to ask."You might as we
DAELYN’S POV: I woke up on a really soft bed, but what am I doing here? The last thing I remember was passing out in front of the university and that warehouse.. Has someone helped me or else was I taken here. I squirmed as I woke up. I saw someone resting their head on the bed who I presumed to be the owner of this house. I think I moved too much, he woke up. “You’re up. Are you feeling alright?” He asked as I nodded. He took my hand in his and I flinched. “Y-Yes. T-Thank yo-you for asking.” I mentally slapped myself for stuttering like that but his pheromones are really thick and musky. He's definitely an alpha, He leaned in closer and I scooted back until I hit the bed frame. “You are not a kitten are you.” He chuckled, what's up with that sarcastic question. “As you can see I’m still a human.” I glared at him and I realised that I was arguing with someone who I met for the very first time. “Anyway who are you and what were you doing in that warehouse baby.” He asked but I do
"Aren't you curious about why I have bought you here?" He asked while making breakfast for us. "Nope. I don't like to know things that involve me." I said and he frowned. I'm pretty much very sure he has brought me here for a purpose but I don't want to know about it. "Sweetheart, there is something you need to do for me." Alastair said and I gritted my teeth in annoyance, as I stared at him. "What do I need to do for you? I'm just an average student." I replied and he sighed as he sat down on the opposite side of the table. "Marry me." He blurted out and I almost jumped in my seat. No way in hell that I'm going to marry someone just like this. "No. Definitely no." I slammed my hands on the dining table. "Listen to my side of the story first." He said, almost pleading. It Doesn't matter if he kills me right now but I refuse to marry someone I just met. "No, it's not like that but listen to me. Just listen to me and forget about this." I said as I got my bag and was about to h
Daelyn woke up extra happy that day, it was her birthday. She checked her phone and saw that Jordyn and Leona texted her at midnight wishing her and expressed their sadness at not being able to celebrate with her. She turned around looking for her boyfriend. But he was nowhere to be seen. This has been going on for the last two weeks, he always leaves early and comes home late. Daelyn couldn't deny her disappointment. She did her morning routine and made herself some breakfast and left the house. She walked her way to the university. She was exchanging her books when she was harshly shoved into the wall behind her. She collapsed because of the impact. She looked up to see her biggest bully Livana Lee, no one dared to oppose her because she was next in line for the Chairman of Ihde corporations. She was quite a powerful and richest woman and was also rumoured to be Alastair's fiance, So no one wanted to be on her bad side. She touched her bruised arm, tearing up as it hurt. "Aw, look.
DAELYN'S POVI groaned as I shifted around in what seemed like a soft bed. A sharp pain shot up my spine and I remembered what happened before I passed out. "Ah." I groaned as I sat up."Are you alright baby. Does it hurt anywhere?" Alastair asked me, I could've sworn that I have died because he looks exactly like an angel."I'm okay." I said with a fake cough trying to clear those thoughts from my mind. "I'm really sorry baby doll, I didn't mean to ignore you that day. It was a really important moment and I know you hate being ignored the most." He rambled on and I know he's blaming himself for all of this. He's guilty about that and he only rambles like this when he doesn't know what to say. "It's alright, but I'm not letting you off the hook, mister. I have warned you about my birthday." I said as I straddled him, to be honest I didn't like birthdays because they were a constant reminders that another year had passed after I was abandoned. "I know, I'll make it up to you. I prom
Alastair's POVI almost freaked out on hearing that he wanted to speak to me. At the same time I was tense, he massacred an entire mafia team. Daelyn wouldn't have been a problem but instead of killing her, he ended up saving her instead. I clutched the steering wheel hard. So, this is how it feels to have someone you want to protect by your side. I broke into a wide grin and all the tension was ignored. "Ew. What's that on your face? It looks disgusting." Melany, who was sitting in the passenger seat said. I seriously forgot about her. "It is something you'll never feel." I smirked as she made a face at me."Whatever, what do you think he wants to speak to you about?" She said as she looked out the window, staring at those board signals on our way."I don't know but we're going to find out. We're here." I said as I drove into our hideout's driveway. We parked the car and headed inside. The red carpet was splayed out on the floor. Julian and Heather picked the interiors for our hide
DAELYN’S POV: “Because..” She trailed off and I leaned in, interested. “ENOUGH.” I heard Alastair’s voice booming throughout the hallway. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to offend you.” The woman apologised and I looked away, disappointed. I admit I was a little interested in that issue, I’ll ask Al later someday. Al mouthed a ‘go in’ to me and I nodded as I entered the house closing the door behind me. I sighed as I made my way into the living room. I opened my snacks and arranged them on the glass table in front of the couch. I sat down on the couch as I started the movie and waited for Al to join me. After quite some time he joined me, he loosened his tie as he sat beside me. I snuggled closer to him as he wrapped his arm around my waist, his grip around my waist tightened and I giggled as I kissed his cheek. I rested my head on his shoulder as the movie played. As the end titles began to scroll, I wiped my eyes and sniffled. The ending was quite sad, the movie was about a detective who
