Ricardo's Point Of View"Come on, kids! We're gonna be late for school."Aurora yelled from inside and I took a deep breath, smoothing my tie - a nervous tic. I was not this apprehensive when I returned after running away from home for three months. I was sixteen then and my dad wasn't the most loving out there. I knew I would probably be beaten to death but I was not an ounce scared of what was waiting for me at the other side of the door but here I was, smoothening my tie nervously because I was about to face a woman. A mere woman. I glanced at my reflection in the glass window and nodded in approval. I had worn my best suit, and another pair of fine, expensive shoes made in Italy. I glanced at the bouquet in my hands. I picked roses because it reminded me of her rosy cheeks whenever she smiled. I had sent one over to her the previous day and the poor flower was lying beside her door, fucking withered and abandoned. It was probably a bad idea to bring another flower in person but
Eduardo's Point Of ViewThe atmosphere in the casino was electric, with the hum of conversation and the clink of glasses. The air was thick with the smell of expensive cologne and cigar smoke, as men and women gambled. They always had a talent for burying their problems underneath velvet tables in the casino while they pissed away their fortunes with ridiculous bets over the top of them.Inside the exclusive VIP lounge, I sat with a warm glass of whiskey in my hand. Usually, I would have been out with the others, enjoying the games and entertainment but I wasn't. And it was all because of a certain ex-wife. No matter how I tried, I couldn't seem to stop thinking about the flowers. About the possibility of her seeing someone else. I groaned at the thought and scoffed. So what if she was seeing someone else? What has that got to do with me? She can fuck around for all I care. It wasn't my business. "Looks like Mr. Alpha is lost in thoughts." On hearing the familiar voice, I furrowed
Serena's Point Of ViewI stirred and sighed softly, deluding to be asleep. Finally, he was back. I had waited for two and a half hours and it felt like ages. But I wasn't one to complain. Besides, I had always wanted to get inside his room, just to see the kind of world he shared with Aurora and to feel the kind of things they felt together. I finally got the chance and would never let it go to waste. I came to visit my mother-in-law to be this evening and like always, she assured me that her son would fall in love with me eventually. I told her I needed Eduardo to look at me differently and I kinda slipped it in that I would love to surprise him when he came. Fortunately, she suggested that I waited in his room and surprise Eduardo when he returned from work. "Serena," he called out and even though his voice was cold, I yearned for him to call my name again. On hearing his voice, I stirred again and forced myself to a sitting position. "You're back," I said, yawning. "And you'r
Aurora's Point Of ViewI looked at the flowers outside my door and sighed. They seemed to be increasing every day with lots of cards and gifts. My house looks like a fucking flower shop with the big bouquets of different flowers circling my house. At first, he stuck with just rose flowers but for the past week, he had decided to be dynamic and bring varieties. Aside from that, Mr. Gomez was now a regular and significant customer at the coffee shop. Whenever he stopped by, he bought coffee for everyone. He's been making Mr. Mark's day for the past week. Why couldn't he just leave me the hell alone? He wouldn't just accept defeat and let me breathe on peace. I thought the police would give him a restraining order after I reported him but they did nothing. He was too powerful to be touched, they said. Bunch of shitheads! They are being paid by our tax and they still kiss up to the rich assholes' asses. "Mummy, what are we going to do about the flowers?" Eloise asked as she played with
I was getting incredibly worried. I sighed, dragging my eyes away from the double doors which remained shut. I turned to the clock hanging on the wall and stared at it the same way I had been doing all night. It was 2AM, two hours past our wedding anniversary. I picked up my phone which sat beside me and turned it on, expecting a call or even a text from Eduardo. I huffed in disappointment when I saw no text from him. It was our wedding anniversary. I had tried calling him since the previous night and that morning but I got no response. His secretary, Serena is not picking up her calls either and it made me worry. At first I blamed it on his busy schedule. He was a billionaire and CEO of tech companies worldwide. To top it all, he was alpha of Black moon Pack. He had a lot on his plate but then again I thought, Eduardo never forgot important dates like my birthday and anniversaries. He never missed it for anything in the world and that was why I was still waiting even though it was
"You liar!!!" I yelled, not believing a word that had poured out from her mouth. 𝑁𝑜, 𝑖𝑡 𝑤𝑎𝑠𝑛'𝑡 𝑡𝑟𝑢𝑒..."It is the truth! Why then do you think he is with the Doctors, huh? We've been making love. It's apparent he got tired of your dumb ass and couldn't keep up with you anymore. You were worthless to him so he had to find someone more useful. And that was me. Now, look! His seed is blooming inside me!"My wolf took charge and without thinking, I charged towards her across the room and landed a hard slap on her cheek. The force of the slap threw her off to the ground but I wasn't done. I straddled her thighs and kept landing slaps on her face. The only thing that saved her were the nurses who heard her screams and rushed into the room."You bitch!" Serena yelled in tears as the nurses pulled me off her. I yanked my arms and stared down at her, my anger blazing. I would do something even more dangerous if I stayed so I left. I heard one of the nurses informing Eduardo on the
I sat in the backseat of the moving vehicle and stared out of the window. I had managed to stop crying and was now recounting my marriage with Eduardo. Everything had been perfect and blissful. I loved him with my whole heart and believed he did the same. At least he had proven himself countlessly. And mother. Back then she loved me so much and we were more like best friends. Sadly, our friendship took a sour turn six months after my marriage with her son. It finally came to an end a year later when I couldn't still bear children. I was then despised by her. She never stopped maltreating me whenever Eduardo was away on business trips. The vehicle swerved and I hit my bandaged arm on the side of the window. I sighed and squeezed my eyes shut. It was hurting but it was nothing compared to what I had gone through for the past six years. Finally, I arrived at the airport and proceeded to book a flight to England. I had informed my parents about my homecoming and they were more than ha
Aurora's Point Of View"Star, are you sure about this?" "Dad, you've been asking me this all day," I said with a small laugh. "Your father is just as worried as I am, Aurora. I know it has been five years but going back to the States? What if he... gosh I don't even wanna think about it." I sighed and zipped up my last box. "I know Eduardo is there and everything but don't worry, I've got it under control. It's been five years. What are the odds of crossing paths with him in such a big country?" "What about your kids?" Dad asked worriedly. "They will be fine. I will protect them with my life. No harm would come to them." To make sure no coincidence occurred, I had applied to companies that had no affiliation with Eduardo's company and they were all located in the small part of the city. Parts Eduardo would most likely not step foot on. The odd jobs I had worked over five years were not enough to cater to my children. I had little to no savings after all the expenditures. Mum an
