Roxanne’s POV:
I couldn’t be happier; this day had finally arrived when I have gotten everything on a right track. I was driving the car and humming, going back home to my husband and my daughter when mom called for a meetup. I was craving to go back and talk to Silas but this mother couldn’t stop bothering me. “Hm?” I walked inside the café and reached my mother’s table. She was sitting there with glasses on and acting all in disguise. “What is it?” I slammed my handbag on the table and flopped down in frustration. Is she always going to annoy me whenever I want to celebrate my victory with my child?“Roxanne! Sweetie, I wanted to come here and congratulate you personally on this big achievement,” she smiled sweetly as she showed her fake white teeth to me.“Thank you, does that mean I can leave now?” I raised my brow, feeling exhaustRoxanne’s POV:I rolled my eyes and let out a groan, it was not the right day to even talk about my mother’s several ways of pissing off everyone.‘Enough about bad-mouthing mother. You do know that whatever opportunities we are getting today are because of her right? If she hadn’t sent us to the club that nigh---,’ before I could finish, Anne interrupted me pretty brutally.‘She had sent us? This is why don’t lie so passionately that you start believing your lies. It was all our idea, from taking Octavia to drugging Silas. The only mistake we made was to leave him alone for a single minute and then the next we know, our slu**y sister is under him in the car,’ she reminded me of the true events of the night.‘It was so painful,’ I remembered everything vividly, ‘I stood outside the car while he had se* with her. My heart was ripped out of my chest by my sister, wh
Roxanne's POV:It's been a few days and Silas hadn't gotten over Octavia yet. He would sneak out at the odd hours of the night to take a ride along while taking his sleeping daughter with him. He was getting more aggressive with every passing day, but getting protective towards Hope like somebody was out there to snatch her away from him.I was beginning to feel like the day of him getting over Octavia wouldn't come. His obsession with her has begun to annoy me. It would only work now that the mate bond between them gets broken."Hey, how was your day?" I knelt down to gently caress Hope's cheeks. She had just returned from school, Silas was still holding her bag."I miss mommy!" she murmured with her head down. She hadn't been communicating a lot with me, which had left me angered at times.I was trying to be very patient with her but her constant crying for her mother was beginning to get on my nerves. Since I knew Silas was watch
Roxanne's POV:I wheeled around and passed him a forced smile to look less bothered. If I start forcing him to let me in, he will start suspecting me of being involved somehow. Thank goodness, they had no clue about the blue rose or he would have pointed fingers at me."But Silas! Ever since Octavia has left, she has found a new routine of waking up multiple times in the night with night terrors," I tried making sense with him. It wasn’t an easy job for him since he too needed rest and I needed some time to make it impossible for Hope to live without me."Hence she needs her father with him," he said very carelessly, there seemed to be no emotions in his eyes when he watched my face. All my years’ worth of hard work seemed to fall apart right in front of my eyes and I didn’t even know how to save my castle of dreams now."But you have an office to attend to in the morning. You are already restless, let me take
Roxanne's POV:I have reached home at midnight and was welcomed by my mother at the doorstep.“Take her stuff back to her room,” mother ordered the guards, eyeing them to not delay. I had been holding my tears in for hours ever since I sat down in the car but once I had to step back into my house, I felt back to being zero.“It is all over?” I asked my mom in tears, rushing in her arms to cry on her chest. I was a loser to achieve everything and then lose it.“It is not. You still have one last plan, the plan we worked on all these years,” My mother patted my back to comfort me.“It was bound to happen. I cannot believe you have ruined your daughter’s life like that,” father has heard about my arrival and even when he was a little late to receive me at the door, he made sure the first thing he does is to taunt mother.I broke the hug and looked his way with mist-covered e
Roxanne's POV:Flashback:I haven’t been able to think about anything else after Rick told me that he knew we were mates. I didn’t stay behind to have a word with him, instead, I rushed past him like a mad woman and took the car back home.“Roxanne!” my mother must have seen me as I sprinted inside the mansion; panting and nervously pinching my fingers.“What happened? You went to see Silas, did he say something?” she stopped me in the hallway and made me look at her face to answer her.“I--- I met--- my mate there,” as soon as those words escaped my lips, a smile covered my mother’s lips.“What? you are happy?” I slapped her hand off of mine and stepped back from her. I was shocked to see her happy because I didn’t want any other mate, I only wanted Silas even if he loses the crown or his business.“My silly daughter!&rdquo
Octavia’s POV:I had been in the cabin for a whole day now and the man hadn’t spoken a word ever since. I believe he had some food on his corner but he didn’t do much of it. He would hardly move after hours, making me think he had lost all these hopes of ever getting out of here.“You know!” I cleared my throat as I rested my head back against the wall, “I have a little daughter who might be crying sick for me,” just the thought of Hope being in pain and missing me shook my heart inside my chest.I waited for him to say something but he didn’t utter a word, “I know you have been here for a very long time and you must have tried to escape in the beginning and all the failed attempts had made you think you can never leave this place, but that isn’t true. We must keep trying and get the heck out of here before we lose our mind completely,” I kept talking in hopes of him responding to
"You are the Royal Beta?" I was still in shock that I have found who I aimed to look for before Roxanne trapped me here."The! That is a good start," he let out a little laugh but it was covered with sadness. I couldn’t imagine living like this and he survived so many years, talk about a real warrior.I thought it was time that I too tell him who I was. I am pretty sure he remembers me from the great dinner where I accused his alpha King of slipping something in my drink and getting me pregnant."Rick! It's me, Octavia!" as soon as I introduced myself, he moved completely behind the curtain. I could only imagine his surprise; Roxanne hadn’t only caged him but her own sister as well."What?" He let out a gasp filled with shock as he decided to come forward and show himself to me.Finally, he removed the curtain and watched my face in shock. I was surprised to see him, he was much weaker and thin with a long beard and long hair. He was ba
After telling him everything about the Blue Rose, I was waiting for Rick’s reaction. Maybe he will scream, angrily or cry for thinking Silas never cared about him. So I waited, and waited!“Rick?” I asked him after he didn’t respond for the first few minutes, “Rick! What are you thinking?” I was beginning to worry now that his eyes were stuck in space and every little emotion had escaped his face.“Hm?” he shook his head, finally coming out of his thoughts and answering me.“What are you thinking?” I asked, fixating my eyes on his face.“About what?” he cocked his face to the right and asked me in bewilderment.“Rick! I told you about the Blue Rose, Silas was under some spell of the Blue Rose. She used it on me but I remember bits and pieces of her telling me things and I followed her words without any thoughts of my own,” I stated everything and found him los
