I smiled so wide after seeing the shinning sun once again. I've missed this feeling. I was finally out of the hospital bed and the first place I thought of coming was the garden. It gives me this peace of mind. I let out a loud sigh. The birds chirped loudly. I stretched out my hand so that few can stand on my open arms. I've seen people do that and the birds comply. To my utmost surprise, three birds sat on my open arms. I smiled so happily.It felt good having these beautiful birds sitting in my hands. They felt comforting.A throat was cleared behind me scaring the birds away. I was sad they left. I turned around to see the intruder and Xander stood with his hands folded behind him.He wore a rich smile on his face. He does look like Zion but my Zion is still my number one choice. But lately, he is making me hate him. He still hasn't come to check on me." I see you're beginning to get acquainted with the birds," he said I rolled my eyes at him " But you drove them away."" My ba
Ouch! That was rude. I still felt that he shouldn't have yelled at his brother like that. I wasn't complaining though. My man was back.Zion finally turns to look at me. An emotion passed through his face but tried hard to mask it. I knew something was wrong, something happened while I fainted and I need to know. I crave an answer badly.Zion held my hand " Wasn't I enough for you? Did you need to go after my brother? I was just out for two days only to come back and see you all happy with my brother, for goodness sake Ella."I was angry. What does he mean by that? I snapped out my hand from his hold " You don't get to talk to me like that. You don't own me. I can do as I please"" of course I own you" he gritted out " As far as you are staying in this pack, you belong to me, Ella. You're my property"I snorted " I'm not your property Zion. You can't treat me like trash all the time. You promised to love me but you are making it hard for me to believe you anymore. Since I woke up from
Things have been going on smoothly between us. Zion even in his full schedule always makes sure he has time for me. He's been acting nice these days which I appreciate but something else still baffles me. He refused to let me in on how the investigation about my mom was going.Anytime I raised the topic, he either change it with something else and that bothers me a lot. I just want to know whether she's safe or not. So, this was why I decided to take matters into my hands. I decided to sneak into his office to find answers. I locked the door behind me after making sure that no one saw me entering the office. I went straight to Zion's desk and began my search.There were piles of papers laying on his desk. All I need is something that'll serve as a guide for me to start my investigation. I went through every one of the papers. I left no one untouched but I still couldn't find what I was looking for.I wiped the sweat on my forehead tired already. I let out a loud breath then took a se
I stated at Alex hopefully. A smile stretched on my face." Please don't look too happy yet not until you hear what I'm going to say" he sounded really serious. This made my mood change to that of worry.I nodded " Ok go on"...Alex releases a breath " Ella there are things you don't know about yourself. So much that I'm not going to say. I'd prefer Zion to tell you about that "I furrowed my brows confused " Is it that serious?"Alex nodded " But regarding your parent, your mom was kidnapped by your father"" I know that already" " Your father is a ruler of another community."Why was he speaking in riddles " I don't get you? Do you mean a king or something?"" Yes, more like a king but a dangerous king "My heart raced. Mom? I hope he haven't hurt mom yet, oh God." What of mom is she in some kind of danger?" I asked " For now she's being locked up but no harm is yet inflicted on her. I doubt he'll hurt your mom because he still loves her and she doesn't love him. If her denial pe
Zion looked into my eye so deep that I thought he'd see through me. I was so scared he might know my plans. This was not the time to give up. I'm not going to allow anything to stop me from achieving my plan." Tell me something" I started " Why do I feel so special today having all your time. What's the occasion?"Zion chuckled " must there be an occasion before I can come to see my woman?".I shrugged " With you, everything is just confusing So I can't say"He drew me so close to him that I could feel the heaving of his chest. My heart skipped a beat, he was doing things to me that I can't even explain. I like this man a lot. I don't even know how he was able to steal my heart but I love him so damn much. No matter the love I might have for him, I can't stop my plans. It's either now or never.I placed my hand on his chest. That serves as a barrier between us. I could feel the beating of his heart on my palm" Do you love me?" I know the question sounds stupid but I don't care. I n
Stella's povI was so worried that maybe something had happened to Ella. My phone has been ringing nonstop and I'm sure it was Alex. I guess he's been looking around for me.I don't want anything to jeopardize my plan with Ella. I just hope we are about to do the right thing. I was so deep into my thought that I didn't see someone coming my way." Hello, miss," a voice said with a bow.I was calm when I saw that it's just a guard." Hi," I said cheerfully " What is the name?"I didn't allow my face to give it away." It's Philip miss," he said " Oh yeah, Philip. Is there a problem ?” I asked." No not at all Miss"" So why are you here?" I asked " I just came to confirm if everything is fine because you've been standing here for quite some time now. This place is out of bound and I'm sure you're aware of that "I know he was only doing his work but yet I still felt annoyed. I never wanted anyone to see us which was why I took this side. " I know. I needed my privacy so which brought
I hide behind a big tree ready to implement the plan. Stella was already talking to the guards. My heart thumped in my chest as everything seems to go slow.The more I think about Zion the more guilty I become. Jeanette also have no idea of what I was about to do. I seem like the bad person now.I decided not to get too consumed by my thoughts to not fail the plan. I don't know what Stella was saying to the guards but they seem interested. The last guard finally went to join them and that was my cue to leave.Stella carefully looked at my side to not draw suspicion. I knew that was my cue to leave and I did exactly that. The moment I was out of the gate I turned around and I could catch Stella's gaze, she nodded. I ran after that, I ran with everything I got. This must surely hurt a lot of people and I feel so bad about that.*****ZionI yawned as I got up from the bed. I rubbed my eyes and turn to wake Ella up but was surprised to see it empty. She might be in the shower, I thought
EllaMy legs felt so weak from running. I successfully ran as far as I can. With the little money Stella helped me with, I was able to use it to get some food along the way. I don't know where I was exactly but all I know right now is that I look like a madwoman. It was already morning and people were out already going to their places of work. I spotted a bus stop along a corner so I went there to wait for any passing bus. I was the only one standing.It was freezing but thanks to the sweater I wore it helped keep me warm. I rubbed my hands together to reduce the cold in my hands. It felt like ice. I sighted a bus coming in my direction and I couldn't be happier waiting for it to stop in front of me. Luckily it was heading to where I was about to go. I was going home. I know it felt stupid but the best way to draw my father to me is by going home. I'm sure he must have people around to stalk the house in case I come anytime.I need to be very prepared, I thought to myself.I stood be
