LOGIN~Owen~I let my fingers tap slowly on the table beside me. Silently, I walked the space closer to the man in front of me as his eyes slid open. 250 long years had passed yet every time I saw his face gave me a reason to make him suffer. Those memories, fresh in every new day lived far beyond what I could get rid of. But then, fate had its way. Only if he had not been reborn into this world as the father of my mate. I could only imagine what would have become of him right now.Noting how his 50 years of trying to live like a human affected his eyes, he blinked several times to get acquitted with the dimly lit room. However, I knew he saw nothing. He did not need to be blind folded to stop him from seeing. With his lenses removed from his eyes, it did the work without stress.I watched him struggle just to know where he is.Melvin dusted his hands on his pants, smiling at his efforts in fixing the flickering light in the room before moving aside to speculate on the scene.“I know you‘
~Owen~I stepped out to a concealed world beneath my mansion. The underground floor. Rows of dim light shone along the sleek metallic walls, illuminating the small corridors. Getting to the third room was my secret laboratory filled with silent machines and a glass enclosure. The air smelled faintly of chemicals and steel.Recently, surveillance has tightened– the government and their growing policy of fishing out illegal/hidden medical operations which at the end only a bunch of bank notes thrown at the faces of their so-called investigative officers got them backing you up with not just protection but also free information.To avoid unnecessary intrusion by the government's eyes and their stupid investigations, I had built a secret lab in the underground part of the house.A place I used for my diagnosis.However, beyond what this exterior revealed as a laboratory, it was no longer only what it used to be. This was a place I had the city display on my screen. I place only me and my
~Owen~"Why did you marry me?”Her voice cut through my ears, my eyes returning to her lips were it trembled.I noticed she constantly snapped out every once in a while. Ever since we stepped into the house, she had been conscious of the house, she must be thinking I had things that might eat her alive. This was one of the reasons I had removed all cameras in the room. I didn't want to make her think she was being watched.But seeing the way she was conscious of every little thing, I had to try something to make her feel comfortable, even a little bit around me.However, that ended on a wrong note. Smart as always, she asked that question.I stared at her. I could see that anger building up again, that menace forming in her eyes.I knew she wanted to find out about things about my union with her. I wasn't surprised. She was smart, and knowing that by now it was not just about her father didn't come as a surprise to me. However, I wasn't going to give her the answer she was looking fo
~Elowen POV~ The moment I stepped out of the car, I felt my skin prickle. The servants rushed forward, two at the driver's side helping with my luggage, another walking straight to us. “Boss,” He said. Turning to me, he gave a curt nod. Just like that. No formal introductions. No pleasantries. Not even a single pretence of a smile formed on his face. Just a straight face, shoulders held out, and steps sharp as though welcoming a returning president in a white house. They all stepped aside, watching as Owen took the lead. Does he even have a family? I wondered noticing how every breath felt empty even as servants scrambled about. No Father in-law to bid me welcome. No mother-in-law to take my hands. My so-called husband was not interested in sweeping my feet off the ground and into his arms as a normal bride and groom norm. Just heads bowing, footsteps walking in precision, and orders taken. He suddenly paused, turning to me. "It is just going to be us living in this mansion.
Melvin, he always knew too much. I wasn‘t surprised. I knew Melvin would come to understand this wasn’t just because her father was my enemy. No one knew the depth of my connection with Elowen. Everything had a reason for it. She was just so unlucky to be born through Walker Dominic. However, Elowen was mine and I get whatever is mine no matter what.“It’s not in your position to know whether I am or not in love with Elowen,” I replied.“Sorry for intruding, boss” He said, scratching his head and I knew he was not yet done. “Permit me to suggest… Maybe you should go easy on her. You…know women… they can not easily fall in love with men who treat them in that manner. You know…? Ah, umm… I‘m only trying to look out for you…”I sighed. He would never shut his mouth. “You know what Melvin? You‘re done with any matter that has to do with Elowen including investigations. So, from now onwards, I would suggest you focus on other investigations… Like the recent one I asked you to make
~Owen POV~I know she had not expected this to be the outcome after her fight to stop our marriage. Letting another day pass will give her time to think of more strategies to run away from me. And I was not going to give her that chance. Not a bit of it. She was mine. Bound with me forever.This was just a message to let her know that no one now messes with Owen Vitmoz and succeeds. No one outsmarts me.I watched her stare at the photograph on our just-signed marriage certificate, probably wondering what marriage had the groom had a horrifying scar on his face, not sparing at least a fake smile, obviously not bothered about it. She must be thinking a photo that should have depicted a joyous moment for a couple was more like a melancholy moment.She dropped the pen handing the certificate to the registrar who took no time to study all the provided information to make sure nothing was missing.After she was done with all proceeding, she turned to us.“Congratulations Mr and Mrs Vitmoz
