Earlier that day!!“I don’t get it. Why are you taking us to accompany you to the party to which we aren’t invited? Not that I’m complaining about that part, but still, I don’t even know anything about this company or the other.” Brandon said when Artemis asked him and Sophia to attend the first-anniversary party of LIA Jewelers Ltd.“Because the whole family is invited there, Dad?” Artemis reasoned out.“Then take your parents. Why are you..“Does that mean you don’t treat me your son?” Artemis questioned, cutting him in between. He knew how and which string he had to pull to get his work done. “I thought we are more than father-in-law and son-in-law; we are father and son.”“Don’t use those cheesy lines, Arti. We both know the truth of our relationship.” Brandon said, narrowing his eyes. “Fine!! We will be joining you both.”“Perfect. There is an exhibition of all the jewelry as well. So, don’t forget to carry a card or cheque. You can get one for mom as well or

‘Ask the driver to stop the car.’ Liara heard in her mind. Theodore’s words brought her to reality. She quickly wiped the tears which were all over her cheeks. She had been holding those from the moment she heard the conversation between her parents. A part of her was glad that Theodore didn’t accompany her because she wanted to cry, and in his presence, it would have been impossible. That was why, when he changed the plan to stay back, not once she asked him to join her or let Alaric handle this thing.“Please stop the car!!” She requested the driver and tried to look normal, looking at her face in the mirror that she had carried with her in her clutch. She looked like a mess. So, no matter how much she would try to try to look like nothing happened but Theodore would read her like an open book because her makeup had been ruined, and her eyes were puffed.Before she would have thought much, the door of the car was opened, and Theodore hopped inside. She realized that he was pissed, wo

“So, how’s your life?” Tiara asked, passing a coffee mug toward Liara while Liara couldn’t help but watch her, who had a smile on her lips. She was trying to understand whether it was real or fake. The last meeting between them wasn’t great. Even the words they shared weren’t something that anyone of them wanted to cherish.After the shoot, Tiara brought Liara to the suite where she was staying until the completion of the movie, which was filmed in another country.“Good,” Liara replied.“Good or Great?” Tiara asked, “I saw the news of you and… your mate, and it doesn’t look like you were just good.” She pointed out, sipping her coffee. “It’s surprising that the face, which was twinkling like stars, is looking gloomy like this weather.” She added, looking outside.“Theo told me the truth,” Liara said, coming straight to the point. “I.. we.. we never talked about you in the past two years until yesterday.” She added.No one spoke a word for a minute, so Liara continued, “Why did you li

Liara was now getting worried for Theodore because it was the third day since he wasn’t home. She wanted to short their issue the day the return arrived from Tiara’s place, but she came to know that Theodore didn’t tell anyone where he was going for work and didn’t return home the night when she wasn’t there. She received a message from Tiara the next day that she had forgiven Theodore for whatever had happened in the past.‘Mom once told us, ‘Forgive others not because they deserve forgiveness, but because you deserve peace.’ That’s why I’m closing that chapter of my life for once and for all.’Liara mind linked Theodore to tell him about Liara’s words, but he blocked her after telling her that he wanted to stay alone.She didn’t disturb him again and respected his privacy if he didn’t want to share something at that moment, but now, she was having a hard time composing her calmness.‘Now enough of your ALONE time, Odo!! If I don’t find you at home tonight after my work, then I will b

“In your absence, she handled everything like a perfect Luna or, say Alpha,” Ambrose said when Theodore reached near him to have all the updates about Black Council when he wasn’t there.“Hmm.”“I hope you don’t mind me calling her ‘Alpha’ because she has more qualities of becoming an Alpha than you possess,” Ambrose said again and observed Theodore’s expression, which was a little tense. It looked like something else was going on in his mind. “Jealous?”“Of Lia?” Theodore asked, to which he nodded his head. “Nah. I’m above all this, Ambrose. I was never power-hungry, nor I’m now. It doesn’t matter whether she becomes the future Alpha or not; it won’t take a thing between us because she is my Lia, who vowed to always keep me her priority. As long as we will be each others' priority, nothing will change between us.”“I’m glad that you think that way. These women are better rulers than men. That’s why the Goddess of vampires and werewolves is Selene, the Goddess of witches is Hecate, and
