Chapter 44Irene's POVMy heart almost jumped out of my chest as my eyes widened in fear. I released my hold on the handle of the luggage I was holding onto. My heart pounded in my ear with my heart thudding in my chest as I let out a scream that came back as echoes in my ear. I fell to the ground instantly, waiting for my deadly end as I squeezed my eyes shut and covered my ear with my hands while awaiting my deadly end.All of a sudden, I didn't hear the sound of something crashing against me and somehow, the car stopped abruptly before me.I raised my head to look at the psycho that drove that car intending to hit me. "Are you mad, are you out of your senses? Can't you see me here? What the fuck is wrong with you!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, dusting off my clothes as I kept on hissing multiple times.The person in the car came out of the car. It was a woman! She had black obsidian hair that tumbled over her shoulders while putting on black sunglasses. She slipped off her he
Chapter 45Xavier's P.O.V"Have you found Irene yet?" I connected with Damian through the mind link as I barged out of the house. "Not yet! She's still missing" He replied as I disconnected the mind link.Something was wrong because when Kourtney sent Irene out of the house, I planned to make my men take her to a safe place before bringing her back to the mansion after I was done with finding out about the truth from Kourtney. But, it has been hours since I stationed my men around the woods and what they are saying is they couldn't spot Irene anywhere. They didn't even catch a glimpse of her!There's something fishy going on and it made me wonder if Kourtney was somehow connected to Irene's sudden disappearance or if is there a possibility that she got lost while she was trying to find her way out of the woods.I went into the car when I suddenly received a call from Damian. Pressing the phone to my ear, he talked about how he found the trails of a car."You found the trails of a car
Chapter 46My sight was blurred as my eyes fluttered open slowly. I felt a sharp pain in my head and it felt like my head was being pounded on with a pestle. I had no idea about where I was and I was still trying to process where I was when I heard the sound of someone's footsteps approaching me.Then the sound of the footsteps stopped and the next thing I heard was the clicking of heels against the hard marbled floor. Screwing my eyes shut, a groan escaped my lips because of the pain in my head that intensified.I tried to move my legs and that was when I noticed that my legs and arm were tied together with a rope. My eyesight began to get clearer and I could hear the voice of two people conversing in the background."Oh! She's awake!" I heard a female voice say in the background as I tried to register the voice in my head, trying to remember where I had heard that same voice."I am grateful that she's awake," She said ecstatically, approaching me as I scrunched my eyes up, trying to
Chapter 47Xavier's P.O.VAn evil grin formed on Kourtney's face as she took a spin before the mirror. She didn't notice my presence as I stood at the door with my hands crossed over my chest while gaping at her in silence. She removed the hairband that she used in tying her hair as it tumbled over her shoulder. She kept spinning and busted out laughing after developing a sudden feeling of dizziness, leaning against the wall for support."Finally! I have everything that I want! I have his love, I have her dress and I have her wedding ring" I heard her say while I cringed at her statement.She was still admiring her reflection of herself in the mirror. She took a turn and was about to spin again when she caught sight of me.She fell to the ground instantly, gasping for air as I shook my head in irritation.I fixed my gaze on the wedding dress before averting my gaze back to her face. "Why are you dressed in Irene's wedding dress and most especially, why are you in her room?"She laughe
Chapter 48Irene's P.O.VI should have known that my life would be filled with nothing but trouble after my father used me in exchange for a debt to someone that he doesn't even know! It made me wonder what he would have done if he found out that the man he forced me into a marriage with was a werewolf.Would he have changed his decision or would he have allowed his greediness and lack of discernment to overcloud his senses?"What do you want from me? What exactly is my offense that you had to kidnap me? Why didn't you go after Xavier himself? Why do I have to keep finding myself in a big mess anytime I attempt to escape my burdensome life" I screamed at the top of my lungs.When I finally thought that I would be free from a life filled with issues, then this girl, Erior, decided to create another chapter in my life by abducting me with the aid of her twin brother, Steve.I scoffed, shifting my gaze to Steve as I stared at him in utter disbelief. I might have never spent a lot of time
Chapter 49Xavier's P.O.VI raised a brow, motioning for her to lift her head. Different thoughts raced through my mind as I wondered who could be behind all of this. Even though the current situation made it feel like Kourtney was deeply involved in all of this, I wouldn't want to be blind to the fact of another person being involved in all of this mess."What's your name and who did you see?" I questioned her. She lowered her gaze, blinking her eyes continuously while fiddling with her hands. She swallowed and the way she was acting was beginning to irritate me as I glared at her skeptically.I banged my fist on the steering wheel, causing a honking sound as she almost jumped in fright. "Are you deaf? Do you think that I have all the time in the world to waste? How dare you stop me without having anything to say " I yelled at her and watched as she shuddered.Her lower lip shook, as she ducked her head and when I shifted my gaze to her fingers, it trembled as well. "You must be kidd
Chapter 50Irene's P.O.VI glanced back and forth at Steve and Erior, trying to process everything that I just heard her say now. I had a lot of questions that I wanted to ask her and most especially, why she needed my help in throwing Kourtney out of the house.I cleared my throat, ducking my head down as I swiveled my gaze around the warehouse. My eyes fell on a bottle of water carefully placed on the bonnet of an old modeled supercar. "A bottle of water, I need a bottle of water" I muttered under my breath.Erior scoffed as I raised my head. "What do you take me for? All of a sudden you got thirsty? Do you think that I don't know the motive behind your request for water? You are trying to spit out the water right on my face because you want to avenge the way I hit you in the face" I heard Erior say.I shook my head slowly because I have always thought that I was dumb but for the first time in my life, I saw someone that was not only dumb and slow-witted but she was insecure as well
Chapter 51Xavier's P.O.VI unbuckled my seat belt, rushing out of the car while she spurted out more blood as she crumbled to the ground. My eyes grew wide, slamming the door of my car shut. "Aurora!" I yelled, covering my mouth with my hands in a bid to suppress the gasps that were trying to escape my lips.I had hardly taken a step when I spotted Kourtney rushing towards Aurora in a flash. She was literally screaming with tears cascading down her cheeks. "You shouldn't have died, it shouldn't have been you!" I heard Kourtney say as she fell on her knees and placed Aurora's head on her lap, cleaning the blood that Aurora spat out with her cloth.At that moment, I knew that there was something extremely fishy that was going on in this house and I was damn sure that Kourtney was greatly involved with everything that had been happening in this house. The exaggerated way she acted and the pitiful look on her face already sold her out! Kourtney was the type of person who never bothered a
