FATED, REJECTED AND THE BABY IN BETWEEN CHAPTER 45: IT’S TIME
STEPHANIE’S POVI smiled against the door frame and watched the children sleep after letting them consume more than twenty potion-induced sandwiches.After ensuring they were genuinely asleep, I marched towards my own chambers, my steps carefully placed in front of the other.It was high time I checked in with my master.I carefully closed the door and locked it before standing in front of the mirror. Then, I began to wave my hands, and my voice changed.I started to recite some incantations, and my body began to deform. The once beautiful skin I was wearing seemed to melt away from my skin, the smoothness of it fading rapidly as pain shot through me.Grey hairs stood still as I continued the incantations.When I was done, I placed a now shriveled hand on the table, and my reflection showed my true nature, and a wicked smile crossed my face.I stood back, this time taking a knife and slicing the inner part of my palms and allowing blood to coat my fingertips. Then I went back to the m
FATED, REJECTED AND THE BABY IN BETWEEN CHAPTER 46: THE BRUTAL TRUTH
ISLA'S POV"But it couldn't be him. I mean, it could be him, but it couldn't be him," I said, trying not to sound hysterical.Axel raised an eyebrow, and I felt his question shake my core."Maybe if you had cameras?" He asked."It was wiped clean here," I said, shaking my head."And the cameras here? " Axel asked, and I gasped.That's right!I had cameras around my house and in my office. It was supposed to be for fun and formalities, but it was there.I rushed to the computer and started to type and click."What's going on?" Axel followed me."I don't keep the records in this computer. All the feeds go to the main office," I replied, and I could feel Axel's harsh look."That's not very bright. Videos of your house get sent to the office?" He raised a brow."Only videos of intrusion. The cameras are designed to be able to detect forceful activity and alert the police immediately, but regular day-to-day activities don't trigger the camera, and the files are kept in their mainframe that
FATED, REJECTED AND THE BABY IN BETWEEN CHAPTER 47: HEAVEN
ISLA’S POVWas he serious?Who knew that the man I loved was this insensitive?My body went rigid with anger.“Because Axel fell sick, and we couldn’t perform the operation, and the kids were kidnapped when the operation was finally done!” I shouted, and Dante gasped in shock.“The world doesn’t revolve around you,” I added, wiping tears from my eyes.“I’m sorry, I didn’t know. I’m sorry for what I did -” Dante started to say, but I raised a hand to his face.“Enough,” I said, wiping the last tear from my eyes.I would not shed another tear for a man who wasn’t worth it.I started to remove the ring from my finger.“No, Isla,” he said, but I didn’t answer him.I took the ring off my finger, my bondage broken as I freed myself from whatever obligations he held close to his heart.“I’m done with this. We’re over,” I declared, and before Dante could think of the next lie to say, I threw the ring at him, hitting him square on the head, and I walked out without turning back.Axel was alrea
FATED, REJECTED AND THE BABY IN BETWEEN CHAPTER 48: SOMETHING IS WRONG
ISLA’S POVThe following day was a bit of a twist, considering what happened last night.Axel was gone before I woke up, making me question several things. While the idea that Axel was on to something flicked through my mind, I knew my time here was over, so I dressed and drove to work.I didn’t bother to call Axel as I felt he had shown me his work here was done, and I knew my way back, so it was nothing to be sad about.I arrived at work, and I saw that the parts that were burned down at the office were already going into reconstruction. The insurance company had called me earlier to let me know that all damages fees had been paid and work would resume anytime, and I guess they weren’t far from the truth.“Ma’am!” I heard a familiar voice call out, and I tore my eyes away from the building undergoing work to look at who had called me.A smile crossed my lips as my faithful manager ran towards me at the entrance. He was so fond of doing things like that, and it almost reminded me of
FATED, REJECTED AND THE BABY IN BETWEEN CHAPTER 49: THE MYSTERY OF STEPHANIE
AXEL’S POVI walked away from the kids and Isla and followed Ray towards my secret study, and it was only when the door was firmly shut that I realized Ray hadn’t come empty-handed.I didn’t need anybody to tell me that Ray had done some work. After he had used those specific words in front of my family, I knew it had to be something serious or even worse.“What is it?” I asked, settling into the armchair.Ray had a sinister look on his face, and I was tempted to ask him if he was ok, but I knew Ray intricately, and I knew that his words were his own.“Sire, do you recall having me look into Stephanie because you didn’t trust her?” he asked, and the frown that had been sitting on my lips evaporated.“Yes, I do, but Isla trusts her, and I think I can, too,” I replied without much thought.“Sire,” he said slowly, and I looked at him quizzically.“Is there a problem? What did you find?” I asked him again.Ray took a chair and sat opposite me, his hands pulling the paper he had been conce
FATED, REJECTED AND THE BABY IN BETWEEN CHAPTER 50: BAD MOTHER
ISLA’S POV“Tessa!” I exclaimed, but like before, she didn’t respond to me.She had been eating sandwiches for two days straight, and now, it was beyond surprise. It was worry.For the first time in my life, I decided to use force on Tessa and went to where the tray was. It baffled me that the tray never got empty, no matter how many times she consumed the food on it.And it wasn’t just her. It was Tristan, too. But Tristan sometimes gave me a look before going back to munch on the food.I grabbed the tray and started to walk away when Tessa began to grumble, making me realize she had not said a single word to me.Before I knew it, she grabbed my leg and started to drag on my fabric while I struggled to hold the tray steady.“Tessa!” I shouted again and tried to get her away from me, but she was relentless as she began to cry.“Tessa! What’s the matter with you?” I asked her harshly, but she didn’t stop what she was doing until she climbed my leg and used my fabric to latch herself, a
FATED, REJECTED AND THE BABY IN BETWEEN CHAPTER 51: BLOOD-SOAKED CLOTH
AXEL’S POV“I feel like a bad mother,” Isla said, and the sadness in her eyes caused my heart to churn. The stern demeanor I had on dropped that instant.“The kids hate me. That’s why they are mad at me and why they’re not talking to me and rejecting my food. And things feel so weird.”“I think you’re overthinking it.” My voice sounded a bit edgy.“I’m not, Axel. I could feel that distance between us, and Stephanie also communicated their feelings to me.”“I understand,” I said, feeling her pain. “But you don’t need to let that bother you. I’m sure they would come around.”“How can I not? My own children hate me,” she continued speaking. “A mother is meant to be a role model to her kids, but I’m nothing of that much.”“You’re Isla. You have always been a role model to your kids.”“Well, I don’t think they feel so, and you’re only saying these words to make me feel better.” She sighed sadly, a sign I wasn’t doing an excellent job of helping her feel better.I wasn’t really good at coax
FATED, REJECTED AND THE BABY IN BETWEEN CHAPTER 52: FASHION EMERGENCY
ISLA’S POVI headed to my room with joy spiraling in my heart. The fact that Axel had apologized made me so happy. I didn’t expect him to make that move, but I was glad he did, and the minute my eyes landed on my room door, a smile caressed my lips.I pulled it open quickly, walking in the direction of my wardrobe right away. I didn’t have any idea of what I was going to wear, and as I pulled open the wardrobe, I realized deciding what to wear would be a very difficult task.I took a deep breath before digging into the pile of clothes in my wardrobe, and I started with a black dress with a cute slit, but it didn’t look appealing when I tried it on, so I decided to try on another cloth with a similar design but a different color.When I stood in front of the mirror, I wasn’t very pleased with my appearance, so I removed the gown and sat on the bed.I hated this.I wondered why I was dressing up for Axel. I wanted to just try on something simple, but this was the first time Axel and I w
