Chapter 84Maria’s POVI had been in my room on the floor on the same spot I had been when Ethan left earlier, I could not bring myself to move, I had like the worst sort of person as I had pleaded with him to spare my spare my murderous mother, I could see the pain in his eyes and still I had gone ahead to do it.There was no way I could ever face him again, not after I had broken his heart the way I did, why was it that I managed to ruin the lives of both he and his brother? I wondered if perhaps I was a curse or something like that.I had no right to care for both of them as I did now, I just brought pain and darkness into their lives.I heard footsteps approaching my room and I recognized them as that of my mother.She walked in and gave me a look that told me she was not pleased with my current state.“Why on earth are you sitting on the floor like that? Get up right now and put on some clothes for heaven’s sake” she snapped at me.“Leave me alone mother” I said weakly.“Stop bei
Chapter 85Alexander’s POVI had tried my hardest to stay away from Maria last night but it was impossible not when I felt her pain like it was my own, I had felt heart breaking with each breath I took and I had been left with no choice but to seek her out and I was glad I had gone to her, she had been in a terrible shape when I found her in her room, the maids had been more than willing to show me to her when I had asked where she was.Even now, as I sat here having breakfast with Ethan, I could feel the heaviness of her heart weighing heavily on mine.“You look like you have a lot on your mind” he said to me as he drank his coffee.“I do” was all I said to him.He nodded his head and said “Want to talk about it?”I turned to look at him and said “We are not there yet” He shrugged his shoulders and said “I know but it is creepy to have you staring into nothing with that expression on your face, it takes the fun out of breakfast”“Leave me alone Ethan, I am really not in the mood to
Chapter 83Ethan’s POVI woke to find Maria in front of her dressing mirror, she had just come out of the shower, her was still wet and she was running a brush through it, her blue see through robe clung to her wet skin and I felt my body immediately reacting to hers.I got up from the bed and pulled on my pants before walking over to her “Let me” I said as I took the brush from her and began running it through her thick long locks.She smiled at me through the mirror and I returned the smile, I noticed that the smile did not reach her eyes, I had noticed she had something on her mind even earlier but I had let it go.Once I was done with her hair, she smiled up at me and said “Thanks love” I returned the brush to her and then turned her chair to look at me, I knelt before her “What’s the matter? And don’t tell me nothing because I am sure you know I can tell when you have something on your mind” I said to her.“There is nothing wrong with me” she said as she avoided my eyes.“You ar

Maria’s POVI felt a gentle caress against my cheek, it was warm and sent a flurry of sensations all over my body, I nestled into the big hand with a smile on my face.“What time is it? Why are you awake already?” I said without opening my eyes.“It’s still early, not time for you to wake up yet” I heard an unfamiliar voice whisper against my ear.Despite not knowing who the voice belonged to, it sent shivers running up and down my spine but my eyes also fluttered open at once.I was met with a face that could have easily the Greek God’s statue to shame, he was beautiful, he had a perfect jaw line and well cut nose and he had a mouth that just begged to be kissed and then there were his eyes that looked like pure glistening honey, they had me running my tongue over my lips.I had no idea who this stranger was but he was making me feel wonderful, sinful things just by the way he was looking at me.“Who are you?” I managed to ask, though the breathless quality of my voice had the handso
Chapter 2Alexander’s POVA smile crossed my lips when Ethan mentioned me trying to kill our father, it had happened so long ago but the memory was still fresh in mind.“I assure you baby brother that my home will always be here whether you like it or not” I said and placed a hand on Ethan’s shoulder.I was sure I looked a shabby comparison to him dressed in my leather jacket and ripped jeans while he looked crisp and clean in tailored suit, some things definitely never changed.“I don’t care about your assurance Xander, I can not let you back here, you are a troublemaker and I refuse to allow you ruin everything I have achieved here, you do not belong here, you never have and you know it so just do everyone a favor and go back to whatever hole you crept out of” Ethan said as he took a step towards me, his eyes flashing dangerously, he had grown up a lot since the last time we had met.I smiled and took a step forward as well, we stood eye to eye “I am not really in the mood to anyone
Chapter 3Maria’s POVI woke up with a start, my body was covered in sweat and I was breathing heavily, I looked around and found that I was in my bedroom, Ethan was sleeping beside me, I brushed the hair that had fallen over my face to the side.I had been dreaming and what was weird was that I could not remember the detail of the dream I had just woken up from and exactly why my heart was thumping so hard in my chest.Taking a quick glance at Ethan, I realized he was still sound asleep, I realized it will take a while before I went back to sleep, so I got out of bed and grabbed my robe, perhaps if I got some air, I will much better and more relaxed.The house was usually quiet at this time, it was only the steady hum of invincible electric appliances that could be heard at this time of the night, I crossed the living room and passed through the kitchen and then out the back door, the moment the door was open, the cool night breeze kissed my cheeks and slightly ruffled my hair, a smi
Chapter 4Zara’s POVI was getting tired of waiting for him to arrive, he had promised he will be here by midnight but midnight had long passed, I knew I should not have let him go like that, something was bound to happen, he was not one of them and they will see right through him and I feared what they might do to him.Footsteps behind me pulled me from my thoughts and worry, turning around, I found Xavier, I turned my attention back to the road through which he was supposed to arrive.“You know you are stupid for waiting for him like this right?” Xavier said.I ignored him as I had always done when he started his hate speech about Xander.“He never belonged here from the start, pretty boy from a fancy background, he is back where he belongs now, what makes you think he will pay any attention to you anymore?” Xavier said.“Can you just shut the hell up Xavier, don’t you get tired of it? Always having one trash or the other to say about Xander, when it’s pretty obvious you are just je
