Chapter 31 - Doubting Happiness

Vincent's POV I felt anger course through my veins as I watched Roman yell at Akira. I clenched my fist tight and gritted my teeth in anger as I noticed how Akira's face fell, her hands were shaky and as a matter of fact, her whole body trembled. I felt pity for her. She was already going through so much and now Roman was making it worse by making her feel severely guilty."Stop." I heard Akira beg in a shaky tone. I sighed heavily, as Roman continued to yell at Akira, I could slowly watch her break into pieces. She took a few steps backward and accidentally bumped into me.Akira's face softens, I hear her mutter something like. "I am not alone." I sigh heavily and push her behind me. I stand in front of Roman with a huge frown on my face. "Stop bullying her Roman. At least have some dignity. She is already feeling enough guilt. You are making things worse." I snap at him.Roman eyes me with disdain. He scoffs and shakes his head at the both of us. "So what are you guys now? A couple

Chapter 32 - Pick A Side.

Vincent's POV Do I deserve to be happy? After everything I have done? After everything I have been through?"Vincent, are you okay?" Akira's soft voice jolts me out of my thoughts and back to reality. I shoot dagger glares at her and push her far away from me. "Stay away." I sneer as I feel tears prick from the corner of my eyes.I hear Akira sigh in frustration but I ignore her and take multiple steps towards Roman. "You are a bastard and a liar! I know everything! I know you had a hand in Kaid's death! I do not know if it is because of the jealousy you always felt towards him or if it was because of your unrequited love towards Akira?" I blurt out. I actually regret saying my last statement because I know that the last thing I should be doing is involving her into any of this. I hear her scoff at me and before I can say anything, Akira runs away from me. "Unrequited love? Did that bitch tell you that I ever had feelings her? I do not know what has gotten into you Vincent or why y

Chapter 33 - Right The Wrong

Akira's POVVincent thinks I left him but I am only hiding behind the corners, trying to shake off the fear I feel as I watch Elara point the camera in Vincent's face. My heart races extremely fast at Vincent's sudden outburst, how did he just lose control all of a sudden? I feel worry for him, I can not help but gaze at him with pity even though he clearly warned me to stay clear.Something is going on with him and yet again he is hiding it from me. Maybe the both of us do not make that much of a good team after all."I am going to find Kaid's killer and help Akira prove her innocence." I hear Vincent say in such a confident tone. I actually feel reassured by his words, I do all the time. Something about the way he confudently makes his statements always has me believing in him, even in the darkest times. Either that or it could just be the stupid mate bond I happen to share with him.What was the Moon goddess even thinking when she made me Vincent's mate? I mean, it is clearly an ab

Chapter 34 - Mate Bond

Akira's POV My question remains hanging in the air. I am too afraid to walk out of the corner and ask Vincent. I am ashamed as well because Kaid used to be my husband yet he never mentioned anything about his past to me, worse of it all is that I was too stupid to never even ask. He must have thought that I never cared and that was most likely why he never mentioned it.I feel guilt wash over me. I wish I could go back in time and ask Kaid, I wish I acted like I cared more about his past. All those things could have been eating him up on the inside, for the first time since Kaid's death, it actually pops into my mind that Kaid might have committed suicide.I mean as I dig deeper into this case, I slowly realize that Kaid never actually lived a happy life. He was haunted by his pasts and he never actually forgave Vincent which means he was still holding onto a grudge. Could that have been what pushed him to kill himself? Maybe he had already poisoned himself and thereafter, I accident

Chapter 35 - Feelings

Akira's POV I suddenly feel tears roll down my cheeks. I bite my lower lip to stop myself from breaking down into sobs. Some people passing by gaze at Vincent and I while making whispering noises while others probably recognize me as the woman who killed her husband. I can feel eyes boring into my soul and it makes me feel a sense of emptiness. I thought Vincent had my back but knowing that I am just some sort of investment to him makes my heart break, I am nothing to him and that means I am alone. I always have and i always will be.I choke out a small cry at the reality of my miserable life. How come I never noticed? "Oh my goodness. Now, you are crying." Vincent mutters. He runs a hand through his hair and takes a few steps towards me. I catch him gaze at me with a look of concern. Or maybe those are just my imaginations? Vincent does not care about me. If he did then he would not have called me an investment."Why are you being so emotional today, Akira?" He asks, his voice is s

Chapter 36 - Bigger Problems

Vincent's POV I continue to rant but I notice that Akira's attention is no longer on me but on a certain woman serving drinks in the bar. I clear my throat and that is enough to startle Akira and jolt her back to reality. She stares at me and mumbles. "Look at that lady Vincent." She gulps a lump down her throat and points at the woman."What about her?" I ask with a raised brow. I am slightly irritated at Akira's pathetic attempt to change the topic. I know she does not want to talk about our feelings but why is she trying to cause a diversion by pointing at some random woman? Does she think I am that stupid to fall fir her dumb tricks?"Do you recognize her?" Akira whispers softly while staring at the woman. I scoff and throw my hands in the hair. "This is so unbelievable." I snap at her. Surprisingly Akira nods her head in agreement and flashes me a mischievous smirk. "I know right. Who would have thought that I would meet her here?" She chokes out a small laughter.I can not help

Chapter 37 - Gratitude

Vincent's POV "Do you think it is a good idea to see her husband instead? I mean it feels kind of disrespectful in a way that we are reporting her to her husband. Do you not think so?" Akira mutters from behind. I scoff and shoot dagger glares at Akira, that is enough to silence her."Easy for you to say. She should have thought about it before throwing trash all over me. I mean look at the way everyone keeps glaring at me as if I have shit on my face!" I yell angrily. Akira raises her hand in mock surrender and takes a few steps backward. She has a disgusted look on her face just like how everyone else gaze at me, with irritation and disgust."Excuse me Sir." I hear someone yell from behind. I turn around to gaze at an old fragile man clutching a walking stick tight. Who is he? I raise a brow at him and gesture him to start speaking before i lose my patience, Akira on the other hand just bows her head at him respectfully."The customers here are not pleased by the stench. Perhaps yo

Chapter Thirty Eight - Maria Is The Key

Akira's POV Vincent goes silent and it makes me ponder on everything he has done for me in the past. Honestly, without Vincent, I do not think I would be able to do anything. I might have just surrended and lost all hope but thanks to Vincent, I have been able to act strong, although it does get a little tough sometimes, but it is better than having no one by your side.I clear my throat and wipe the drop of tear that falls from my eyes."Are you still there?" I yell at him. I do not get a response, that makes me furrow my brows in confusion and my heart begins to race extremely fast in anxiety. I want to barge in but I know how disrespectful that is so instead I yell his name even louder. "Vincent!" I pause to sigh in frustration. "Do not play jokes on me, are you in there?" Still utter silence. I run a hand through my hair in frustration and yell at him. "I will barge in there if you do not give me a response at the count of three." "ONE!" "TWO!!""TH-----" right before I can cal

Chapter Thirty Nine - No freedom

Akira's POVI and Vincent stare at each other and I immediately believe that we are thinking the same thing. Maria is the head maid at the Red Moon pack house, I am sure that she is the one that moved all of Kaid's stuffs, courtesy to either Elara or Roman's instructions. Hopefully, Maria is willing to talk.Without wasting anymore time, Vincent casts one last glance at me before rushing towards the door to pull it open wide, revealing the old man, Maria's husband. "Where is Maria? Is she still here? Where is she? Talk to me now." Vincent hurriedly throws questions at the man who just stares at Vincent in confusion, I mean it is totally understandable, now Vincent just looks really desperate.The old man takes a while to respond in reluctance. "Is this still about the apology she owes you people or is there more to it?" He raises a brow at Vincent before turning to gaze at me. "I would like to talk her to instead, she looks more sane." He says shoving Vincent out of the way and pointi

Chapter Fourty - Trade by Barter

Vincent's POVI would have really loved to hear from Maria's husband's side instead, earlier back there, it seemed like he knew a lot about Elara, way more than even Maria knew. I wanted to push further but I noticed how Akira was getting really uncomfortable there. I could sense her fear back in there, she was so anxious and it made me feel the more need and drive to protect her from anyone and everyone.I sigh as Maria leads us to an empty space at the back of the bar. I carefully rest my back on the wall and gesture her to start talking. "Say every damn thing you know, do not miss out on anyone details or I will make sure to paint you and your husband the bad guys in front of Elara, I am sure you know how that will end." I say in a cold tone, just to scare her and it actually works. I would never do that though, that is just heartless."You people need to promise me that you will never return here and also that Elara will never find out about our meeting." Maria says with pleading
