NELLY POV

I was on the phone with Tony, laughing at something he had said, when a knock sounded at my door. I ignored it at first, but the knocking grew more fervent.

"Bae, let me talk to you later," I told Tony before hanging up.

I opened the door and froze. Michael stood on my front porch, looking as composed as ever, as if showing up at my door unannounced was the most natural thing in the world.

"Hey, did you lose your way or something?" The words came out sharper than intended, bu

  • Untamed   CHAPTER SIXTY-THREE: THE DISCOVERY

    LEILA POV It was almost midnight. All the party guests had left, except for the five of us. I still hadn't spotted Michael anywhere after he got that call. The others assured me he had probably left to meet whoever was on the phone. I decided to stop worrying and help clean up Frank's place. I had tried calling Michael several times, but his phone was switched off. The more I thought about it, the more my unease grew. Nelly emerged from the kitchen looking agitated, her face pale. "Tony, I need you to drive me to Raquel's place." Her voice was tight, stressed. "Why? What's the problem?" Frank set down the plates he was holding. "I don't know. I just have a weird feeling. Something is wrong with Raquel." She wrung her hands together. "Baby, relax. Just call her." Tony moved to stand beside her, massaging her shoulders. "I have been calling her for the past hour. It keeps going to voicemail." Her voice cracked. "Keep trying," Kiera suggested. "No. I need to see her. I'm not ge

  • Untamed   CHAPTER SIXTY-TWO: THE ESCAPE

    MICHAEL POV Two weeks had passed since Frank came over to invite us to his housewarming party. He had just won a major road construction contract, and he wanted to celebrate with everyone. Laila could barely contain her excitement at the prospect of seeing him again. She had spent an unreasonable amount of time in front of the mirror, fussing over every detail of her appearance. I was already dressed and waiting for her downstairs when she finally descended. "Hey, baby. How do I look?" She twirled in a black straight dress adorned with glittering designs. "You look fantastic." The compliment came easily. "Thanks. And you don't look bad yourself." She smiled, smoothing down my collar. "Shall we go now?" She nodded, and we headed out. We arrived at Frank's place about forty-five minutes later. The house was buzzing with music, guests milling about, drinks flowing freely. Laila spotted Frank and immediately engulfed him in a hug. I left them to catch up while I moved through the

  • Untamed   CHAPTER SIXTY-ONE: THE INTERROGATION

    MICHAEL POV "Laila, go upstairs and relax. Michael, follow me."My father's voice left no room for argument. Laila flinched at his tone. When I reached for her hand, she pulled away and headed upstairs without a backward glance.I followed my father to his study. The door clicked shut behind us, and the silence that followed was heavy, expectant."Michael, can you explain what happened downstairs?" He settled into his chair, his eyebrows raised."Dad, it's nothing. Just women and their usual nagging." I kept my voice calm, dismissive.He wasn't buying it. "You know women don't just nag for no reason, son. What pregnancy was she talking about?"I shifted in my seat, avoiding his gaze. "She jumped to conclusions. That's all."He chuckled, but there was no humor in it. "No. I was there. I heard that part clearly."I ran a hand through my hair, searching for an escape. There wasn't one. "Okay, fine. I visited a pregnant friend, and she started accusing me of being the father."His eyes n

  • Untamed   CHAPTER SIXTY: THE ACCUSATION

    LEILA POV I had been calling Michael's phone since I woke up. Every single call went straight to voicemail. Where the hell was he? Panic was starting to set in. I didn't know where he was, and I had no one to call. No one who would know. No one who would tell me the truth. I pulled on a simple straight dress and headed downstairs, planning to wait for him while I ate lunch. Maybe food would settle my nerves. Maybe he would walk through the door any minute with a reasonable explanation. "Good afternoon, dear." I turned. Dr. Yeboah was heading toward me, a warm smile on his face. His presence was comforting, even if my anxiety refused to fade. "Good afternoon, sir." I managed a smile, though it felt thin, stretched. "How was your night?" He pulled back one of the dining chairs and sat down. "It was okay, sir." I picked at my food, pushing it around my plate more than eating it. He studied me for a moment. "You look worried. What's the problem?" "Let me help you with that, sir

  • Untamed   CHAPTER FIFTY-NINE : THE FAREWELL

    RAQUEL POV I had completely forgotten about Eugene's presence in the house when Michael showed up. That was the problem—I couldn't think straight whenever Michael was near. My mind scattered. My resolve crumbled. Every time. When Eugene appeared beside me, confusion written all over his face, an idea sparked. Desperate times called for desperate measures. I took purposeful steps toward him, rose on my toes, and pressed my lips to his. Then I wrapped my arms around him, pulling him close. "Play along," I whispered against his ear I turned to face Michael, still wrapped in Eugene's embrace. The sight of Michael's clenched fists, his tight jaw, told me everything I needed to know. He was furious. "Honey, meet Michael. My ex-husband's son." I gestured with a sweet smile. "Michael, meet Eugene. My fiancé." Eugene stiffened. I squeezed his hand gently, silently pleading. "Nice to meet you, sir." Eugene extended his hand. Michael didn't take it. "Is everything alright he

  • Untamed   CHAPTER FIFTY-EIGHT : THE REVELATION

    MICHEAL POV"What the hell, Nelly? What was that for?" I gently pushed her away, breaking the kiss.She looked down, her demeanor suddenly shy. "I don't know. I felt like kissing you."I studied her, unconvinced. "Nelly, I know you were trying to hide something out there from me." She still wouldn't meet my eyes. "I know you're not someone who kisses a guy and starts acting shy. There's more to this."She fidgeted, guilt written all over her face."What are you hiding? Spill it." I took hold of her jaw, forcing her to look up."Michael, I have been waiting to taste your lips against mine. This was the perfect opportunity, okay?" A glint of determination flashed in her eyes.I shook my head. "Nelly, if that were true, you would have kissed me in front of others. That's how crazy you are." I caught the smile tugging at her lips."Michael, believe me. That's the truth." Her voice was almost convincing."Fine. Then I'm telling Tony." I pulled out my phone."Michael, wait!" Panic replaced

  • Untamed   CHAPTER FORTY: THE LINE CROSSED

    I had been trying to avoid Michael since our heated encounter in the club. Three days had passed, and so far, I had succeeded. Kiera had gone back to school, leaving just the two of us in the house. I didn't know if he was also intentionally avoiding me, but I was grateful for the distance. What w

    “Will you stop moving? You can’t walk on that,” he admonished, his tone firm.I stilled, reluctantly looping my arms around his neck for stability, my eyes fixed determinedly on anything but his face. I could feel the firm strength of his muscles as he carried me effortlessly down the hall to my be

    I found myself by the hotel’s pool, the water a shimmering, black mirror under the strings of fairy lights. I gripped the cool railing, trying to steady my breathing, to swallow the furious, hurt sobs threatening to burst out. I heard footsteps on the patio stones. “Frank,” I said, my back turned,

    I tugged at my dress, trying to cover more of my thighs as his eyes kept drifting there. "Nothing I haven't seen before," he remarked arrogantly, a low chuckle following the words. My spine stiffened. "What happened back there was a mistake. It shouldn't have happened." "You mean our passionat
