Irene’s P.O.VI covered my ears with my hands because of the noise that emanated up the stairs. The sound of things crashing against one another triggered all the senses inside my head, causing me to quiver in fear as buried my head between my knees. I shuddered a breath because the noise that emanated from upstairs reminded me of all the times my father would hurl objects at my mother whenever he was drunk! I didn't know why I was reacting like this but it felt like all the memories that I have locked in the further corners of my heart were recurring again.I screwed my eyes shut and pulled my knees to my chest while burying my head between my knees as u cradled my head in my hands. The door creaked open slowly, causing me to shudder a breath as I ran my hands through my hair. I didn't need any soothsayer to tell me who it was because I knew that it was no one other than Steve.A scoff escaped his lips as he bolted the door behind him. He clicked his tongue in his mouth as I raised m

Chapter 62Irene's P.O.VSlowly, Steve released his grip around my jaw as I heaved a sigh of relief. His eye color turned pitch black and flickered back to its original color as I swiveled my gaze around the room before fixating my gaze on Steve who sauntered toward the wall that was designed with purple drapes. A smile that depicted scorn formed at the corner of his lips while I swallowed the heavy lump that formed beneath my throat.“Suddenly scared, huh?” Steve scoffed with a smirk creeping at the corner of his lips. He slipped his hands through his hair while swiveling his gaze around the room again while causing me to wonder what must have caused him to be so engrossed in the room like that.All of a sudden, I suddenly remembered that he mentioned something about me possibly knowing the history behind this room. As if he could read my thoughts, he glanced in my direction as he cocked his brow to the left. I wasn’t scared of him in any way but the way he stared at me caused me to

Irene's P.O.VHis words resounded in my ear as my eyebrows knitted together as I stood to my feet and kept my gaze fixed on him. I kept my gaze fixed on him as if the answers to his questions were boldly written on his face. He raised a brow when he saw the confused look on my face as I scratched my head while lowering my head.My mind strayed toward Steve, wondering how he could disappear from this room without leaving a single trace. I was damn sure that there was an escape route in this room and this room must be really important to Steve since he had to fabricate a fake story about Xavier's mom dying in this room. I didn't know what his story was but I was sure that this room must have been really special to him.Different thoughts raced through my mind as I tapped my index finger with my lips while trying to process Steve’s sudden disappearance and what his real aim could be.“ I need to find out about the history behind this room and I need to find out about that as soon as poss

Xavier's P.O.VA faint smile that faltered formed in my face as I bobbed my head. A smile that depicted her nervousness almost formed on her face as well as she fiddled with her fingers while my heart moved with nothing but sheer pity for her.After the silence that pervaded between us, I stretched my hands towards her as she kept her gaze fixed on my palm. When she was unsure about what I was trying to do, she glanced back and forth between my hand and my face."W-What do you want? Alpha Xavier" She questioned and I watched as she swallowed the heavy lump that formed in her throat."I want your international passport! I suddenly developed the feeling to keep it with me" I said while laughing awkwardly. She swirled her gaze around the room, placing her hands on her jaw as if she was trying to recollect something.I watched as she pouted her lips and gasped as if she suddenly remembered something. When I saw the look on her face, my eyebrows furrowed in confusion because I really hoped

Irene's P.O.VMy heart beat with trepidation as I fell to the ground while gasping for breath. Whoever it was, that flashed that light outside my room was really dangerous because the cold aura that swirled around the person already gave that person off already. I placed my hands on my chest in a bid to calm the way my heart juddered in my chest.My head was flooded with different thoughts while wondering who might be standing outside the window so late in the night. I had a feeling that something wasn't right and I knew that I needed to get to the root of all it..I took in a deep breath that seemed to calm all my nerves as I leaned against the wall while trying to suppress the gasps that were trying to escape my mouth as I covered my mouth with my hands.I made space for a little opening around the window as I peeked through the window in order to see if the person who flashed the light right at my face was still there.Everywhere was stark dark!It made me wonder what could have ha
