CHAPTER Forty SevenAll eyes looked on at Pearl at the table as he was thinking of how to reply to the situation. The major factor he was curious to understand was how Raphael got to know about the missing file."Norrignton Pearl, I ask once more, where is the Lexicon file?" Raphael was full of smiling, knowing he had him where he wanted, in a dilemma."About the Lexicon file.....""Actually, the Lexicon file happens to be in my possession" All eyes turned to look at Brown who approached the table."It was given to me by Mr. Pearl here to be kept safe as he said and i quote 'it is the family's heritage'" Brown explained smiling at Pearl.Pearl was surprised; how did he laid his hands on the file? He had never thought Brown would discover the file but he did."Impossible! The file is fake" Raphael commented in disbelief."Enough of all this trash talking Raphael, I suggest you leave this table at once!" Xavier ordered with anger."But we need to verify the authenticity of the file" Raph
CHAPTER Forty NineIt was a bright day, Raphael had taken Imade to the mall so they could do shopping for her bastard son. Raphael had come to terms with having to take care of the baby. Imade had informed him that she never knew of the father and had sex while she was intoxicated in her mini confession to him.When they arrived at the mall, so many sea of heads were also gathered as everyone went about their shopping. While going through some new clothing brand himself, Raphael heard little commotion and decided to go check the situation. He was shocked to see Imade shouting at someone. Her body was shielding him from seeing the person she was raining abuses on."Imade what is the meaning of......" He halted in his tracks as he came face to face with Aliyah who looked on at him in surprise."This bitch here deserves the public embarrassment she gave you" Imade explained."Raphael, I will suggest you take your retarded Mate away from here" Imade wasted no time in administering a loud s
His horse was reaching it's limit. He could feel it's heart thrumming against his calves like a trapped drum-it's mouth agape and frothing. The beast wheezed, and he worried it would collapse from under him. But he couldn't stop to let it rest. There wasn't any time. He forced it through tough thickets of thorns, over fallen trees and around obstacles so quickly that he feared he'd break his own neck. His legs were sore and his hands were running themselves raw with all of the yanking and jerking of the reigns. And his pursuers were closing in fast. When Nolan had devised this route, he had figured that no one would pursue him through the Forbidden Forest because it was labeled "forbidden" for a reason. He was certain the only forces he'd have to tackle through it would have been the occasional wild dog or angry bird. What he hadn't expected was the caravan of bandits waiting just within the brush, and for them to be so well concealed that he wouldn't notice them until they were on
Chapter ThreeThe night was unusually long for Aliyah as having to sleep evaded her essence. The moment she close her eyes to attempt sleep, the horrors of her pack always tends to hunt Aliayh. She couldn't imagine herself going through the trauma, as it would most definitely hunt her for more years to come, that she was so certain about.The sun was already out; an indication that it was going to be most likely hot during the day. The chirps of the birds could be heard and the morning dew had never gotten even far better than it was at the moment. Aliyah stared out the window, soaking in the innocence of the air, as she looked around the pack houses.Suddenly her ears picked up footsteps which seemed to be heading her way. She closed the window and move back to the bed, anticipating the door to be opened soon. A slight knock came through and after voicing out her approval, the anonymous person stepped into the room and it turned out it was the Alpha."Greetings Aliyah. I see you had a
Chapter FiveStaring at the door, Raphael was conflicted. He knew that his father was a very strict leader and being one of the top leaders of the Elite Pack, everyone respected him. Once he summoned the much courage he needed, Raphael pulled the door open, revealing a dimly lit room. Alpha Norrignton was fond of the dark and Raphael was fully aware of this trait, which he found absolutely absurd."What is the problem son?" His father's voice pulled his attention towards the king size bed, where his father was looking throuy several documents."Father, I uhm.. well I came to discuss something very important with you and I would be glad if you spare me the time to speak." Alpha Norrignton pulled his documents aware and for a moment, he studied his son's countenance. He looked uneased and this increased his curiosity.Raphael approached the bed, pulling out a chair attached to the reading table, his father seemingly had picked the documents from."I finally found my mate." Hid reaction w
Chapter SevenMorning came quite swift than Aliyah had expected. She rose from the bed and the first thought that flew to her mind was how she would be able to go back to school. While she was still in water wave pack, she could remember the lessons made by her father about the importance of school. She had fully come to terms with the fact that she would be staying with Raphael, who is her mate for most probably the rest of her life, that doesn't changed the fact that she still didn't need to go to school. After thinking about it for a couple of minutes, Aliyah stepped down from her king size bed and head out the room. The door hadn't been fixed by Raphael and it left her wondering what sort pyscho she would be living with.Raphael was going through his phone, while eating his breakfast. He had woken up quite late and it was due to the fact that he had been working all night long. He suddenly felt a presence and when he looked up, Aliyah stood in her night gown staring down at her fee
Chapter NineThe next day, Aliyah filed with confidence stepped out of the limousine and this time the personal body guard was by her side, observing her every movement, while she stepped into the hallway. As a custom, all eyes were on her and as she had been thought by Daisy, she wasn't going to give a damn about the situation.While pulling her biology textbook from her locker, she felt presence behind her and when she turned around, Imade and her minions were staring at her. Aliyah looked around and there was no sign of the guard attached to her. "So you made it out of Romeo's grasp. Quite fascinating." Imade grabbed her by the collar and pushed her to the wall, forcing Aliyah to smack her head by the locker. "Listen very well Aliyah, I am the center of attention of this school and it is slowly becoming obvious you want to steal my spotlight. I am not going to allow that happen." While Imade made an attempt to throw a punch, she felt something or someone withholding her hand from la
Chapter Eleven"And that's how things came to be between both Raphael and myself." Pearl said. Apparently, they were having dinner together he had given her a warm welcome. Pearl decided to explain the bad blood that existed between Raphael and himself to Aliyah and this made Aliyah completely shock. A family war wasn't one that usually end well and being in the mix was slowly going to spell trouble."So what happens..." Aliyah couldn't complete her statement as she felt something wrong with her belly and immediately stood up and rushed over to the basin and puked out completely. "Are you alright?" Pearl asked rushing over to her side. Aliyah was feeling completely dizzy and Pearl noticed it. He quickly helped her to her room and placed a call to the doctor.After a couple of hours, the doctor arrived and ran series of test on Aliyah, who was fast asleep. "Such a pleasant surprise Mr. Pearl. Turns out this young lady here is pregnant." Pearl gasped as he heard those words from the doct
