Chapter 12.COVERING ALL TRACKS.Julian's POV.Inside the restroom, I turned on the faucet, collected some water with my hands, and then washed my face. But it was as if that wasn't enough. Whatever was troubling me was still there. So, I collected some more water, and washed my face, then I sighed.Staring at my reflection in mirror on the wall which in front of me, while supporting my body weight with both hands on the sink, my mind drifted back to the moment Evie gripped my arm, and held me back. For one, I couldn't say exactly if she was awake. One minute she acted like she wasn't aware of what she was doing, or who was beside her, and then the next, she's completely aware of everything going on around. Perhaps, that's what drinking too much does.I dropped my head, and turned off the faucet. As I exited the restroom, I took a face towel hanging on the door, and dabbed my face with it. But then, as I walked towards my room, I noticed something on the dining table. I stopped, and

Chapter 14.FAMILY WAR.Nora's POV.“Mom, are you going to drop me off with grandpa, and leave?” Lily asked as I rang the doorbell. “I don't think I want to stay.” “I am not leaving you here sweetheart,” I said, stroking her hair while waiting for the door to be opened. “I just have a few things to talk about. After that, we'll return home.” After that conversation with Grace last night, I realized that she was right: I should have discussed with Daniel's parents about my intention to sign the marriage contract. However, like I told her, and would tell anyone who cared to ask, everything happened so fast, so there was no time to talk about it with anyone. Besides, it wasn't as if they were going to give their approval immediately. They were going to request for some time to think about it, and if possible make a situation out of it. I didn't want that. All I wanted was to save my daughter. Before long, the door latched clicked, and the door opened. Kyle, Daniel's younger brother s

Chapter 16.A NEW SECRETNora's POV.Sitting in the car with Kyle, the wind swept a strand of hair across my face as I looked out through the window. For one, I wasn't expecting him to bring me to a training ground full of kids. I mean, was that supposed to make me feel better or worse because Lily can't even do the very things her mates could do?“There she is.” he said, looking out through my side of the window. “The girl on the red training kit.” I identified the girl that he was talking about among a few others. She was rolling her shoulder as if it ached. “I-I don't understand.” I stuttered, blinking my eyes in confusion as I turned to face him. “Who is she, and why did you bring me here.” “I brought you here because you've to know the truth.” he said, still looking out through my side of the window. “You have been kept in the dark for long. You should know what's going on, Nora.”“I still don't understand what you're saying.” I shook my head, and then looked at the girl again

Chapter 18.THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING.Julian's POV.“What kind of joke is this?” I asked as I sat down. “What do you think you're trying to do.” “It is good to see you too, Julian.” she said with a brief smile. “How long has it been since we last saw?” “Are you kidding me right now?” I asked, narrowing my gaze. “I thought you were out of the country handling your family's business. What are you doing here?” “Well, I was.” she said, drinking some coffee. “But I'm back now.” “I know, but why exactly are you here?” my voice was as hard as steel. “I know you, Victoria. You wouldn't come without any reason. So what is it?” “Can't I just come see you?” she asked, shrugging a shoulder as she dropped the coffee on the table. “I mean, when did that become a sin?”“It became a sin when we divorced.” I spoke through my teeth. “So, tell me exactly why you're here, and stop with the jokes.” “Aren't you going to place an order?” she asked, sounding like she cared. “I mean, we can talk over

Chapter 20.IT'S HAPPENING.Nora's POV.“Any sign of her?” Kyle asked, shifting his gaze from the window to the windshield as he drove. “Do you think she would have come this far?” “No sign of her yet.” I sighed, touching the pendant around my neck. “Besides, you shouldn't be asking me that; I'm in no position to answer that question. You've been with her for a long time, so you should know if she would come this far.” “I am sorry. I didn't mean for it to come out that way.” he said, his voice laced with concern. “I just never thought she would do a thing like this.” “Well, she did already.” I said. “Is there any place she likes to go? Perhaps, her favorite snack shop?” “I am not sure.” he said, turning the steering as he went right. “I always get her everything she needs so she there's always no need going to a snack shop.” I'm wasn't trying to blame him because I was also at fault too. But then, if he had listened to me earlier, then perhaps, we would have seen her leaving. But
