Semua Bab NORA: THE MAFIA QUEEN; THE ALPHA'S MATE: Bab 81 - Bab 90

Camilla/Selene's POV"Why are you here? What are you up to?" I asked, putting on my dress and pulling the zip up."What?" Williams sounded perturbed and confused."You are pretending you don't understand me, right? Tell me, why did you approach me at the club that night? I know it was a deliberate act, so don't you dare lie. You knew who I was- that I am your brother's wife and also Nora, because in the note you left that day, you clearly referred to me as Nora. So, why did you do that? Why did you ask me to take your hand when you knew I wasn't meant to?" I shot at him, my voice sharp and accusing.He didn't say a word- he just stared at me before he proceeded to buttoning up his shirt. When he was done, he closed the gap between us, placed a kiss on my forehead and headed towards the exit, ready to leave. But I didn't give him the chance to. I double-crossed him, my arms folded on my chest. My teeth clashed violently against one another, as I breathed in and out, trying to suppress

Selene’s POV“Yes, it is Selene.”“How? How did you know I have a child and that the child is yours?” I asked, perturbed. “Because that night twenty years ago, when you were bringing her into this world, I was by your side in the labor room,” he explained. “What? You were by my side? How come I didn't remember ever getting pregnant? How come I didn't remember bringing her into this world?” “That's because you gave up on your life for hers and by the time you were revived, you came back with no memories of the past.”“I don't understand you,” I uttered, my face squeezed. “While in labor, there were complications which warranted either of you to be saved. It was either you survived and the child died and vice-versa. I begged Vanessa for you to be saved, but you disapproved. You chose to give up your life for our baby.”“And immediately you gave birth to her, you bid the world goodbye,” he recounted. Vanessa? He knew who Vanessa was? That meant he was telling the truth. He actually

Selene's POV"Wow!" That was the only word I could utter as I let out a sharp gasp.That explained it all- how my father found me easily.So, Steve was the one who sent me to kill Williams- his brother? They had been playing with me all along. Since my father worked for Steve, that meant Steve knew about my daughter, he just pretended not to.But if they were truly partners, why then did my father assign me with the task of killing Steve? Why?"Why then?" I asked in a low voice, as if I was talking to myself."Why what?" Williams' voce rang, sounding confused.I lifted my gaze to meet with him."Why then did my father assign me the task of killing Steve?" I finally let out that baffling question."Your father did?" Williams asked, taken aback."Yes, he did," I nodded my head in response."Kill Steve Smith within the space of three months and your daughter lives. But if you fail to, she dies"- That was my father's threat to me.""He was also the one who assigned me the task of killing

Selene/Camilla's POVBy the time we arrived at home, it was already late. As soon as he pulled into the compound, I opened the car door and got down.I was about heading into the house when I heard his voice call out to me."Selene," he called, and I turned around to face him. "Are you fine?""Yes, I am," I managed to say, forcing a smile on my face. But deep down in me, I knew I wasn't okay, talk more of being fine. All I wanted at that moment was to be alone. To think- to strategize.He nodded his head slowly, offering me an assuring smile."Can you be more careful around Steve? He mustn't know you found out about everything already. Can you just behave like you know nothing and act natural while in his presence?" he asked."Sure, I will. That's what I am good at," I replied with a bittersweet smile displayed at the corner of my lips."Good. Just know that if you need anything or you are in any kind of trouble, you can call on me. I will always be there for you," he informed, sincer

Camilla's POVMorning came, and Steve and I headed to the dining room for breakfast. We were the first to arrive- neither Williams nor Cassandra was in sight.I didn't give a fuck whether Cassandra showed up or not. Who I was worried about was Williams. Where was he? Did he actually sleep in that house yesterday?I glanced around worriedly, hoping to catch a sight of him, but he was nowhere to be found. Steve who seemed to have noticed how anxious and unsettled I was questioned."Baby, what's the problem? Why do you look so anxious and why are your eyes hovering around? Are you searching for anyone?" he asked, munching his food."Anxious? No, I am not," I lied, my voice almost trembling. "I am just wondering where Anthony is. You know Cassandra is out of sight too and that is getting me worried.""Hmmm, that's true. Where could they be?" he said, before calling out for Jarvis."Jarvis...... Jarvis," he gently called."Yes, Sir," Jarvis responded, coming out of the kitchen into the din
