CHAPTER 17: WHY? KING'S ENTERPRISES, NEW YORK** Cole stood up from his chair abruptly, startling the new secretary who was about sharing the reports of the recent meeting they had just concluded.It was surprising and shocking to the other female employees when he fired his former secretary_the red haired." Sir." The secretary called on the floor but Cole didn't even spare a glance at her as he hurried to the glass wall of his office which was the highest building in the company. Dissatisfied, he moved to the window, shifting it slightly to the side, he looked down, his entire head wasn't in the view of the secretary again who was afraid he could fall from there." Sir, please move away, that's quite a height for a person to fall from up here." She panicked, holding the table for support as she stood up." Don't." The secretary's hand froze in the air as she was about to reach him." Yes sir." She complied nodding but one could see how fear was still dancing in her eyes." What's t
CHAPTER 18: BY YOURSELF Kaden knew when she was coming, he felt it, his body reacted immensely as her footsteps neared him. Her intoxicating scent was too strong for him not to recognize when she neared him.He hated this!He hated the way his body felt and reacted to this witch who had the face of an angel.He didn't know the unusual weakness he always had if she was near him, beside him or even, at the mere thought of her.As usual, her long hair danced behind her as she waltzed towards him. This time, the usual mocking smile that was always tilted on her rosy lips weren't visible. Like they were speaking with their eyes, they stared at each other for minutes." Why do I keep hating you each passing day?" She asked and he felt like thousands of needles pricked his heart to pieces." What did I do to you?" He asked and those smirks which had been absent on her lips appeared, making her more beautiful.She slowly went towards where he was crouched on the ground, his arms, chest fo
CHAPTER 19: UNKNOWN ENEMY" Stop looking at me like that." Erica said while Umbrie raised a brow. Surprisingly, they both found themselves outside, chatting with each other." I am not. Not like there's something valuable in you I'm staring at." Umbrie replied, turning her face to the other side, knowing Erica's gaze would be on her." I hate you." Erica said with pouted lips." I hate you more." Umbrie winked, the look in her eyes were faraway as she gazed forward looking at nothing in particular.Erica noticed and glanced at her, blinking her eyes like a doll." Is there something you're not telling anyone?" Erica asked already looking down and playing with her fingers which she placed on her bare skin. She had a short bumper on." Oh, it's nothing. I'm okay. Just wondering where Logan is." Umbrie stated obviously lying." Logan just bade us goodbye earlier." Erica reminded, narrowing her eyes playfully at Umbrie.Umbrie bit her the corner of her lips slightly knowing she had been c
CHAPTER 20: PAINFUL SMILE Dane sat stiffly on the cold floor as he drew his shivering mother closer to him, he pulled her gently to his chest for her to absorb the heat from his body, but he knew he was been unreasonable. The loud clatters of his teeth were heard in the very small space that looked like a mouse hole, which they were thrown inside." I'm sorry mama. I really am, if you hadn't given a worthless and useless child like me to life to breath, you wouldn't have found yourself in a horrible situation like this." He sobbed as he murmured, his lips trembling tremendously.He heard his mother heave gently as she raised her hand slowly patting his back as she started humming a familiar tune which drew more tears out of his eyes." Don't make me feel more heartbroken my child." She said, a sad smile played on her pale, chapped lips." If I was capable enough, we wouldn't have fallen into this destruction called Wymond." She said and Dane subconsciously looked around as he heard
CHAPTER 21: RIDICULOUS MOON Logan grinned cheekily as he heard the coquettish voice Leilani used before ending the call.With his left hand on the handle of his car's door, he used the right hand to search for his ringing phone in his pant pockets. " Mum?" He murmured as he swiped the green icon on the phone's screen." What?" His voice turned rough, probably from what he heard or what he was hearing." Cancel it." He said quite rudely before hanging up the call.***" No, I don't want it." Kaden grumpily woke up from his slumber, his ears perked up and he looked around but he couldn't find anything or see anything unusual.He could swear he heard a very tiny voice just now, a tiny voice that sounded like that of a child, a little child.He sighed as he looked around again, confirming he was alone. His gorgeous but dull hazel orbs subconsciously turned it's gaze at the very tiny window he hadn't noticed was in the room.A strange glint shone in his eyes as it caught the round, ful
CHAPTER 22: MISHAPS " You didn't see anyone?" Xander asked, his phone placed on his ear, on a call. The car was moving quite speedily despite the curvy parts they were passing." No, My lord." Tyron replied. Xander sighed hearing the sad tone beneath the head guard's voice." Alright." Xander said simply, hanging up the call, tousling his neatly gelled hair angrily." Where the fuck are you for crying out loud?" He muttered gritting his teeth, the guard beside him heard what he murmured and confusion crept on his face as he stole anxious glances at Xander." Told ya! Why the damn hell are you still insisting on finding Kaden? You are barely even living without him." Xander growled angrily as he heard Cole's teasing voice before shutting him off from his head." He would soon meet his own waterloo soon." He murmured, referring to the Beta.He gazed outside the window of the moving car, watching as the bushes, trees and other things in the road disappeared swiftly as the car moved.He
CHAPTER 23: SCORNFUL CHUCKLE. " Hello?" The Gamma's voice came out rough with a frown plastered on his handsome face.He looked at the screen of the phone when he couldn't hear anything from the other side. " Hello?" He spoke again, his breath coming out uneven, like he was bottling in some kind of anger." Did this idiot think I have the time for his silly plays?" He thought, tapping his feet repeatedly on the floor." Cole?" He shouted but he could only hear sniffles, sniffles of a lady to be precise." Hi." He scoffed hearing the tiny voice that finally talked." Get your ugly voice out of the phone and give it to that damn manwhore." He hollered and the lady gasped, startled at Xander's harsh tone." Man.....whore?" Xander felt like teleporting to wherever she was calling from and snap her neck as he heard what she asked again." Are you dumb? Give the damn phone to the owner." He shouted." Yeah, yeah." Xander rolled his eyes hearing shuffling sounds." Bastard." Xander hissed
CHAPTER 24: COURTROOM "Can I know who Crystal's dad is?" Erica finally asked and Leilani dropped the spatula in her hand slowly. She stood for a while sighing before she turned to face Erica who had an inquisitive and anxious look on.Leilani's phone started ringing as soon she was about to say something.She nodded at Erica, cleaning her hands on the apron as she answered the call." Hello." She said but instead of a reply, a chuckle, a good laugh sounded from the other side. A scornful chuckle! Erica looked at her, the inquisitive look on her small, round face increased as she stared at Leilani and the phone in her hands." Can you help me with that?" Leilani gestured at the cabbage lying on the cabinet." Sure." Erica nodded, walking towards the cabinet, holding the knife clumsily." You know what? Just call Umbrie. You might mistakenly get yourself stabbed with the way you're holding the knife." Leilani suggested, seeing the way she held the knife." I won't. I'll do it myself
