Lahat ng Kabanata ng Bound by His Mark, Freed by His Betrayal: Kabanata 91 - Kabanata 100

Michael’s POVI sat by the fireplace patiently waiting for Elena’s call or message.Since I got the message from Horace, I didn’t need any other thing to convince me of their separation.There was no denying it.He vehemently warned me never to talk to him about Elena again. And he got me thinking that perhaps he wasn’t responsible for breaking into my office to steal Elena’s license.I mean, it had happened only recently, and if he was sending me such a message now, it had to be that he didn’t care about her anymore.Definitely not enough to get her license back.Then again, I wasn’t even sure that someone stole it, as everyone at my company swore that no one came into my office that day.I searched every way possible, even places I knew it couldn’t be, but it was all to no avail. It was as if the license disappeared into thin air.With that out of my hand, I took a risk of trying my luck with Elena.Since it was clear that Horace had washed his hands over her, I felt she would now b

Horace’s POV.As usual, I spent the whole day sorting through documents. By the time the late evening rolled up, I was already so exhausted. I just couldn’t wait to pack up and go back home to Elena and Ethan.Well, then, an honest better surprise hit my desk.It began with a knock on my door as my assistant announced herself.“Yes, come on in.”“Hello, Alpha,” she greeted with a bow.I nodded, still focused on finalizing my work.“What is it?”She hesitated, as if whatever she was about to say was going to piss me off.I paused, lifting my head from my computer.“Is there a problem, Grace?”“Well, sir, I really don’t know if it’s a good idea for me to even say this?”I stared silently. “Then if you don’t think it’s a good idea, why are you here?”She swallowed.“Okay, I’m just going to say it. You have a visitor, and I told her to leave, but she insists that she must see you because it’s important.”My forehead creased in confusion.“A visitor?”She nodded. “Yes, sir.”“Does this vis

Elena’s POV.We sat in the living room watching the news unfold that morning.I scoffed. “Oh wow, he actually did it.”Hirace smirked. “It's long over you. He ought to have done it much earlier, but I guess this is something too.At least now we can move on to the next phase.” He said, turning to me.“How do you feel about it?”I chuckled. “Are you kidding? I feel elated.It’s the absolute best feeling in the world to see your enemies eating each other up.And I wish I could see Michael’s face when I tell him that the deal is fake and I wasn't planning to come back.”“Damn!” he exclaimed jokingly, earning his soft laughter for me.I grinned. A while had passed since I gave Michael the deal, and he hadn’t done anything, and honestly, I was starting to believe that he wouldn’t.I was pretty surprised that morning when Horace yelled for me to come downstairs as Michael‘s face came up on the news.And as we watched him spilling everything, it brought back horrendous memories.The horrible

Ashanti’s POVI laid on the floor, already tired of crying.The first few calls I got from my agency let me know that brands were canceling on me. It got so bad that I decided not to receive any more of their calls.As if that wasn’t bad enough, my Auntywent around the house, taunting me about how she warned me to live a better life. To make better choices but that was all she could do. Talk.She didn’t understand anything.She had no idea how hard it was to always be in the shadow of someone who didn’t even make any effort, but just had people kissing her feet for no reason.And I am Ashanti, I can’t be the shadow of anyone. I should always be the light and everyone around me should be dulled out for me to shine brighter, not the other way around.I was so scared to even go online because a lot of my fans who initially stood beside me now soiled my name through the mud, swearing curses at me and gasping their beliefs at the revelations made by Michael.Earlier, I had even tried to c

Ashanti’s POVA month had passed, and I was still on the run from the police force. My face was plastered all over the city, and getting food from the grocery was so difficult that at times I had no choice but to starve in my room.Thankfully, I was able to find a motel that promised to be discreet if I paid them heavily, which I did. With all the spending, my savings were already going down, and no matter how much I called my aunt for help, she continuously refused to help with my requests.I didn’t know how long I could last with my new life, but I knew I had to do something about it quickly.If Elena thought I would fold my hands and do nothing after the chaos she and Horace had brought into my life, then she was nothing but a joke.I had one more trick up my sleeve, and I would make sure to use it to the fullest.I got a burner phone and was able to reach out to an old contact. Though it took me forever, I was able to persuade her to run the news, as she was still quite angry abou
