Chapter 6
Ansel's POV
I got to the office that morning so bothered about Violet, she is such a hard but to crack, I wished she was a werewolf, maybe I won't be in so much fix right now.
"What a girl!!!”. I exclaimed loudly not mindful of the people around me as I head to my office.
I am the CEO of a transportation company that cut across all transportation sectors be it road, air, water and other forms of transportation, I have several branches spread across Europe too, I have built it better than how my parents left it to become one of the leading transportation company in the country.
I was so engrossed in my thoughts about Violet that I ignored all greetings addressed to me that morning as I headed hurriedly to the elevator that would take me to my office, I pressed the bell and met my best friend and Beta.
"Good morning Ansel, how was your night?", Brian greeted.
"Wad up bro", I responded trying to cheer up.
"A penny for your thoughts, cos you seem bothered", he said out of concern.
"Never mind bro, you know I will always be fine", I replied trying to dismiss his concern.
"Ok, if you say so", he said resignedly.
"How is she doing, hope she is holding up well?", he quizzed again.
I didn't answer, instead I put both hands in the pocket and looked away from him.
"Ansel, does she know who you are?", he quizzed further.
"Common Brian, I can't tell her just yet, we just met and she hasn't processed everything yet, it's too early bro", I replied immediately.
"Plus she is just getting used to me, remember?", I said as the elevator finally stopped and opened at the floor where my office is located.
"Good morning guys", Gloria my cousin greeted us.
"Hey, beautiful how are you doing?", Brian replied first with a smile on his face.
"Am fine, dear handsome, how are you holding up?", she replied him immediately.
"And you Ansel how was your night?, she greeted me.
"I hope you haven't forgotten our hangout in few days time?", she added immediately.
"Am fine Gloria and I haven't forgotten?" I replied back.
"Better, cos I may have your head for missing it", she replied with a mischievous smile on her face.
"So let's go in, we have quite alot to catch up, especially on her", she said almost immediately.
"So what's the update about the park?", I asked as we got into my large office.
"Nothing much for now, no attacks for now but that should not mean that we should be relaxed, we should still continue with the strict measures in place if we don't wanna be wiped out easily". She said with so much concern.
"You are right dear, we can't be lax these days, how about the affected ones?" I said
"Have you started taking care of them and their families?" I quizzed further.
"Yeah, I have that handled boss", she said with a smile.
"Good, so what's the update about Violet's family?", I asked with a curious look in my eyes.
"Chill lover boy, I have made inquiries, the attack was bad but I guess they will pull through and I have about four of our guys watching over the", she said facing me.
'Ok, no problem, please continue to watch them and if need be, double the numbers', I said satisfactoryly.
"I guess am done here I will leave you guys to your things, have gotten quite some things to catch up, remember I have to work also for my paycheck". She said.
"See ya", I said and Brian did the same as she went back to her office.
She is also a worker in my office, she heads my HR team and she has been so fantastic both to the company and the park.
She is very understanding and ready to do anything for me, no wonder why she is my favorite cousin.
"Ansel, I believe it's a good idea to tell her about you, she can't just bump into that fact without a prior warning or knowledge", Brian said immediately.
"It will save you further stress and headache, I believe", he said again when he got no reply from me.
"No bro, let's take it slow", I replied Brian.
"Ok bro, if you say so", he said giving up.
Brian is a light-hearted individual who hardly force his words on people, he believes in people entitled to their choices.
"Sophia has been acting up crazily these, can you keep an eye on her for me please", I requested.
Sophia Caleb was my girlfriend for years, she was my first love, a werewolf and a gamma for that matter, we were the perfect couple even though she is the very mean and nasty type, I accepted her nevertheless until she cheated with another park leader years ago.
I was so down when I discovered and still accepted her back until she I caught her after the fifth time and I decided to quit because I discovered she does not love me anymore like she use to.
"I'm so sorry, I tried to stop her but she just barged in", my secretary begged me as she came running in after Sophia dressed in a short pink gown.
"Hey love", she said as she sat and her legs on my table revealing her left tighs most especially.
"It's okay dear", I said to my secretary who looked at Sophia with disdain and left almost immediately.
"Hi Brian", Sophia greeted sarcastically but got no reply.
"Nevermind", she said fixing her attention to me
"You haven't been picking my calls lately Ansel why?", she asked.
"What do u what Soph?", I snapped back at her.
"You!", she snapped back.
"Well too late sweetheart, he can't be yours anymore and you are in our space", Brian snapped with disdain written all over his face.
"He ain't complaining or are you Ansel", she asked me.
"Well you are dear and we broke up, remember?", I replied almost immediately.
"I'm coming back", she said laughing hysterically as she left.
"Good riddance", Brian said.
Chapter 7Violet's POVI have been alone with my thoughts since he left me, the oblivion of how things would be from now on has got me brooding with several questions on my mind."When will this contract end?", I said aloud."Can't wait to get done with these, it's driving me crazy", I said aloud again.I needed a break from what life has been bringing my way since all these days ranging from my relationship to my stressful low paying job and a nasty job, so I never bargained for these new events and it's really driving me crazy.I laid on the bed for hours and thought to call my mom's number but decided against it as Ansel warned me against doing that majorly for my safety and that of my family and even if I wanted to there is no phone.I looked up and discovered it was around past 1 in the afternoon and I had not freshen up, so I moved into the bathroom to shower and got dressed in no time.My stomach needed food as I couldn't eat well in the morning due to the way Ansel stared at m
Chapter 8Violet's POVIt's been four days since I last saw Ansel and to say, I have been quite relieved because there has been lesser drama, no yelling, no peeping, let me say I've been free as a bird.He had packed for few days because of an emergency that needed his attention and left specific instructions for me when he was leaving and that includes not breaking the rules in the contract and I wasn't ready for another world war 3, so I promised to comply and I did to the letter.Feeding was no problem as food delivery services brought me nice meals every morning, noon and night, a complete balance diet.I was inside the room around 12 noon when I heard the door of the house open, I raced down the hall curiously with the intention of hiding my face at a corner when he comes in and sneak back into my room as soon as I see him climbing up."Hi Violet, how are you doing?", an unfamiliar voice said as soon as I got to the wall closer to the staircase, I have to hide my face, my heart s
Chapter 9I was thinking so hard about how things is going to be from now on, everywhere was damn silent except for the table producing the sound my fingers are giving it as I tap on the table severally with them.I had gotten into the room after spending few minutes with Brian downstairs, the park had been attacked again and it was quite brutal this time around as we took two casualties to our side.The park had been so disturbed as a result of this recent incident and I had to leave the house for a few days to quell the issue the best way I can before it gets out of hand.Several investigations had revealed some people and I had swung into action immediately, I and Brian and we discovered some shocking incidentsThe attack had made everyone so shaken that we couldn't reveal it to them but we hope to tell them soon but nevertheless continue with the investigation discreetly just Brian and I.I had checked up on Violet's family too and I heard they are doing well so I worry less.I wa
Chapter 10 Violet's POV "Jerk", I said in a very low tone as I watched him leave me alone.Well he tried by keeping to his words as regards my family members, his words made me a little cheerful as I whistled a song in a playful manner into my room to wait the arrival of the so called mystery arrangement he has made for the party."Finally", I said as I saw a woman drive in and come out of her car with a red gown and a big box.I wondered who she may be"Friendly or evil?""Will she be able to help me when I call for help or she will totally ignore me?"I asked these questions with others too but couldn't find an answer to them.All I could do is sit on the bed and allow things to kinda play itself out.I heard a knock on the door shortly and I went to answer it and behold I saw a very beautiful blonde lady with a pointed nose about 5'9 fts tall looking at me."Hey baby girl will you allow me in?", she said breaking my thoughts."Oh sorry", I said as I made way for her to enter."My
Chapter 11Ansel's POV"Well I believe they should be done by now", I said looking at my watch and moved out of the room towards her room, when I heard gigglings."Ladies", I thought to myself, I waited for a while replying some important text messages on my phone before entering the room without knocking of course, they stopped talking, the expression on Gloria seems like that of relief, what it was I couldn't tell.I looked at Gloria and then to Violet, I wished someone had warned me earlier, maybe I would have been better prepared and not too surprised by how beautiful she looked, my heart was really raced at that moment."You look ravishing", I said but those words never came out, instead it rang in my head.Gloria really did a good job, well being a fashionista less ain't expected.I couldn't help but notice how she looked at me also and I had this strange confidence."Maybe I am not looking too bad myself and kinda attractive to her", I thought to myself.I moved closer to them
Chapter 12Violet's POV"Ansel", I called but he wasn't within the hearshot anymore, so I had to just keep calm so as not to pose as a nuisance."Why did this guy leave me in the midst of all these unknown faces", I asked myself feeling anxious again.I had noticed people staring at me and it's making me feel quite uncomfortable, I wondered why it was like that."Maybe my dressing", I said to myself releasing a brief chuckle."But these stares are quite weird and they even look at me when conversing", I still thought to myself again confused at what's going on.I thought of either blending with them or hiding away and I kinda chose the latter.I looked back again and I stumbled on someone, I almost fell but had to hold myself."Will you get a grip of yourself girl", came in a harsh tone directed at me."Oh sorry, I never intended to", I replied apologizing to the female figure who stood in front of me giving me this disdainful look that's got me surprised as I am just seeing her for t
Chapter 13Violet's POV"Are you okay dear", I asked with great concern."I hope you are not wounded", I picked her up and checked her to see if she is well."Where is your mom?", I further quizzed her as I held her tightly while looking around for a female figure to come and get her but no one came forward."Where is your mo-", I couldn't finish as she interrupted me with her hug.I felt a shocking wave through me and I wished she was mine at that moment.Maybe motherhood is beckoning on me or is it just my nature but I couldn't explain it as I smiled and held on to her stroking her hair."What are you doing here?", a familiar voice from the back came up."I thought I told you to stay put", Ansel added again while I still squat with the girl but facing him.The little girl buried her face in my chest, refusing to let go of me."Shhhh, common Ansel, you will scare her the more", I said seriously while still squatting."Wha--, he wanted to talk but was interrupted by a woman, I guess h
Chapter 14Violet's POV"Can someone help me please", I yelled but no one answered, I guess the noise is quite much.I would have called Ansel if only I had a phone, I was in the middle of this when I felt a hand drag me back and pushed me further into the bathroom in a very violent manner.I would have hit my head on the washing hand zinc ahead of me had I not been fast enough to use my hand to hold the bathroom wall ahead of me.I balanced well and faced about three feminine unknown faces with mean looks, their stature alone is quite defiant.Then about two of the bathroom door clicked open and I saw another unknown lady and the second one looked quite familiar but I couldn't guess who she was right away."Look who we have here", the one with the familiar face said, her voice gave her away."Oh God not again with Mrs. Crazy", I lamented within.She moved closer to me and looked at me so closely like she wants to beat me up at any moment, I got uncomfortable and stepped back a bit fr
