Horace’s POV

I stared at her, trying to decipher what she was playing at, but she didn’t even look at my face. Instead, her face was glued to the movie playing before us.

She was focusing on the movie when my own world was spinning. I decided not to keep quiet about it.

“Elena, what do you mean by that?“

Silence. Still no turning from the TV.

I scoffed, shocked by everything happening around me.

“So if Michael wants to get back together, you would do it?” I asked again, not caring that she was ignoring me, but I was still met with silence.

It got me more antsy, and I was about to ask for the third time When she finally turned, bursting into laughter.

“Oh my goodness, Horace. Relax, it’s a joke.”

She said, still laughing hard and trying to catch her breath, and I just sat there as the realization hit me.

Of course, it was a joke. How the hell did I not even realize that earlier?

I asked myself.

“Oh, moon goddess, you should have seen your face.” She teased, shoving my chest lightly as

  • Bound by His Mark, Freed by His Betrayal   Chapter 195

    Horace’s POVI stood by the main door, watching as the guards escorted the police towards their car before making my way back up to the bedroom.When I got in, I saw her looking spaced out on the bed, and I was so pissed to see her like that. I just wanted to find the bastard who was behind everything and teach them a lesson myself.You could mess with me in any way and even get away with it because I wouldn’t care, but coming after my family, my pregnant wife, was the absolute height of madness. And no one got away with that height of madness from me.“Elena.”She turned, got up, and ran into my arms immediately.“Hey, hey, I’m right here, okay. You’re fine. Nothing is going to happen to you, you’re fine with me.”“Oh, Horace, I should’ve listened to you. I shouldn’t have done that silly interview; it only ended up messing with me more.”After a while of locking her in my arms, I pulled back a little, cupping her face in my hands.“Hey, look at me, no regrets, okay. You did what you

  • Bound by His Mark, Freed by His Betrayal   Chapter 194

    Elena’s POV“We received financial evidence indicating a significant amount of money that was directed from the central medical account to a private account that was linked back to you.”The chief said, and right then, I wondered if I should have listened to Horace. I thought I was prepared but listening to them say those words to me was deeply hurtful and unsettling.I shook my head. “That’s impossible. At least not for me. I have no idea how that even happened. And I have no private bank overseas where I divert money into.”“I believe you. I mean, it is even crazy that these officers would try to link this to you.” Vivienne jumped in quickly, squeezing my hand.I was grateful she was beside me.“We believe you, Luna, but right now we are at a crossroads.”“What do you mean by that?”“We actually received this report a few months back.”My breath caught. “What? What do you mean by "you received this report a few months back?”“Exactly, Luna. The report was mailed to us, accusing you

    Vivienne’s POVI walked beside her slowly as we made our way to the guest living room, where the police officers were already waiting.I could feel the tension in the air, which made my heart flutter more.She looked pale and swollen with stress, and one could easily tell that she had probably spent all night thinking about the whole case.I touched her shoulder gently in a comforting manner. “Don’t worry, I’m here for you. You don’t have to let it get to you, okay. Think about the baby, about your son, Ethan. Everything will be fine. It’s not like the alpha will sit back and let them go crazy.”She sighed, giving me a weak, grateful smile.“It’s not even any of that I’m worried about.”“So what is it?”“I just can’t seem to wrap my head around it. There is something deeper at play here, I know it, but I can’t seem to pinpoint it down to what or who it could be.”Hmmm. At that moment, I wondered if my name had crossed her mind. Then I realized I really had been so stupid with my earl

    Horace’s POV“Whoever did this, I am going to find them and handle it, okay. So I want you to stop worrying.”I said to her as I tried to hold her close. She let me, but her mind wasn’t even there, which I understood perfectly.I was pissed, and I couldn’t understand where those accusations were even coming from.After she left the hall, someone walked up to me with a phone and showed me the news, and that was when I understood why she was acting a certain way.My jaw tightened because I knew the matter was definitely deeper than we were seeing, and I couldn’t help but wonder if someone was pulling strings behind the scenes.I mean, I knew my wife, and it was no question that the news going around was definitely a lie, but the question was who? Who would ever do something like that?“Horace, I can’t believe any of this. Who would accuse me of diverting hospital funds and signing off on expired drugs?”“Someone who is out to get you for no reason because you don’t even sign up for dr

    Elena’s POVHorace and I walked side by side towards the new hospital lobby that shimmered like frozen stars. The cameras around us flashed viciously the moment they set eyes upon us, followed by questions and praises for us. My hand tightened a little bit more on his arm, as if letting go might make him disappear from my sight. He obviously had no opposition to it and was always ready whenever I pulled tighter.At one point, we stood shaking hands and replying to the greetings of dignitaries who came up to us.My bump was already showing itself a bit, so congratulatory messages flew all around us from people who seemed genuinely happy.As we walked into the hall, I was immediately left amazed. The decorations outside the lobby were nothing compared to what was inside.After all the greetings were done, the performing host introduced us to everyone, which was quickly met with bows and more greetings before Horace was finally called to the stage. He began talking, introducing the ne

  • Bound by His Mark, Freed by His Betrayal   Chapter 190

    Horace’s POVAs I heard the word dropped from Elena’s mouth, I really wasn’t sure how to react to them.An apology out of nowhere?Is it something I can trust?Hmm.“So she apologised just like that?” I asked, helping her pack her hair up. “Absolutely. It left me as shocked as it’s leaving you now.”I squinted my brows, trying to make sense of it. “What did she say her reason was?”“Said she thought the baby would be a threat to Ethan’s position and she just wanted to protect him.”I scoffed. “So what’s changed all of a sudden?”She sighed, rising to her feet as I let go over hair.“Well, she said she finally realized that I didn’t seem like someone who would do something like that. Said she realized that I genuinely care for Ethan because she has seen me protecting him even when I thought no one was looking.”I let out another scoff. “So it took her that long to realize it?“Don’t be like that. The most important thing is that she now realizes her mistake and is willing to make a
