"Andrew!" Koel called out a few moments later when the door opened and Andrew walked inside the training room."You called for me Master?" Andrew replied as Koel nodded his head."Teach her the basics of fighting. I'll come back later I need to see my brothers." He ordered as he spun around to corner the door but Gabriella couldn’t hide her doubtful fear as she tried to say something but Koel beat her to it."Don't worry, Andrew is less of a butler and more of a fighter. Trust me you are in safe hands with him." He said before leaving them to it.Gabriella looked away from the door with a little smile and Andrew reciprocated with a bigger smile to ease the tension around them."Good afternoon Miss. I am so happy that you have decided to consider some self-defense strategies; I promise to teach you all that I know." He said, his attention faltering as he picked a small dagger from the collection before handing it to her."I believe this will suit you more. Easier to hold and hide among
“Damn it....my plan didn't go according to how I wanted. All I did was manage to get the brothers tensed up and preparing for a fight." Mr K grumbled as he watched through the window, the traffic and car sounds below him, his forgotten cigar on the ashtray.It's been weeks since he had ordered the kidnapping of Clarissa but had lost men in that venture. Now she was free but it didn't work out, she had left the city according to the spies he had planted around to bring back useful information.This later caused a rift between the brothers as two of them were dead set on protecting their RENA while the eldest Cyrus had given them a wide berth but this wasn't what he wanted.He had to figure out a way out of this sticky situation soon before it would come as karma.He sighed as he massaged his temples when he was distracted by the phone ringing in the room on his table.He glared at it wondering bitterly who the hell could possibly be disturbing him then he made his way back inside prob
Staring intensely at Kyle’s receding figure, Gabriella bit her lips nervously as she darted furtively at her direction and the now vague sight of the party. After how many months of radio silence, he was finally in her sights and there was no Olive Edwards anywhere. But she didn't know why he was looking for her even though a part of her hoped that he had come to his senses and wanted her back after seeing that Olive wasn't his right mate.They were in one of the smaller rooms that was probably used for storage at this point due to how dusty it was and it seemed nobody would look for them here.Riella wondered briefly if she should have told Luther where she was actually going, so as not to get on his angry side but she remembered Luther talking to a lady who seemed to be very familiar with him, to the point of flirting. The fact that Luther didn’t attempt to put her in place wasn’t the problem for Gabriella but the murderous look she’s been receiving from the strange lady.Maybe
Cyrus Reign didn't even know why he came to the event, he had no reason to be present but he still made it; a part of him wanted to see Gabriella but he forced himself to believe that he just wanted to think of ways to hurt her. After all, she was the reason that he was no longer with Clarissa.He stood at the tallest empty floor where there was no one available in the vicinity which granted him full view of the party going on in the adjacent building. He could hear the drinks and celebration going on as the stupid humans were indulging themselves too much.Even from here, he could smell the thick arousal of sex and happiness radiating from the building. He wondered how long it would take for those sex-crazed fiends to search for an empty room to have fun.Using his good eyesight, he was able to easily locate his brother Luther who was happily talking to a lady...well dancing with her. She was one of the humans that Luther seemed to genuinely care for -Lisa Shannon but why he refused
The next morning after the tragic event at the party, Andrew had to inform Koel about everything from last night when he noticed the tension in the house.Gabriella had taken refuge in her room, Luther had taken refuge in his study and Cyrus never came home the entire night.After hours of persuasion and trickery, Andrew was able to bring the brother to the table for breakfast."What are you doing here Cyrus?" Luther spoke with revulsion, breaking the silence."I have been living here every day since this whole RENA issue started little brother or did the events of yesterday short-circuit your brain or something?" Cyrus stated rolling his eyes as he tipped forward to pour himself a cup of water. Koel suppresses a laughter quietly not wanting to add more fuel to the burning fire."You got a lot of never saying that to me when it's obvious that you planned this since the day you met her. Isn't this part of your plan?" He accused disdainfully ignoring the whole concept of having a peace
Maya was restlessly drumming her fingers on the table, waiting for Riella to show up. Today was the day that they promised to meet up and now she was late.“Is she caught up in traffic?” Maya muttered as she brought out her phone to see if she had missed her call or a text explaining why she was late but so far nothing.Just then her phone rang, jerking her from her thoughts and she immediately picked it up from the table but unfortunately, it was not her friend calling but Julie instead. “Not now Julie” Maya groaned staring at the caller ID.Julie has been getting down on her ass lately always wanting to know more and where she is all the time.She would have been touched at the act if it didn't make her feel like she was being suffocated....in a good way though just that Maya could never hate Julie, She had stepped up when Riella was forced to leave."Hello." She spoke eloquently hoping to sound calm as imagined in her head."Hey, are you alright? Is everything ok? I haven't heard
Olive stormed into Kyle's apartment furious as hell. All this while she had been worried sick about him just to hear from her mother the night before that Kyle was present at the party hosted by Luther Reign and had personally sought out Gabriella. A part of her burned with fury wondering if he had gone begging back to her step-sister and wanted to tear him into shreds.She used the key he had given her to get inside and from the noise coming from the kitchen, she started towards them adamant on demanding an explanation."What the hell are you doing here without informing me first?" Kyle asked as he looked up from what he was doing. He was trying to work on the kitchen sink that had gotten a bit spoilt when he had been kidnapped and didn't expect to see anyone at all."Is that what you have to say for yourself? You despicable bastard?!" She yelled as she raised her hand to slap him but Kyle caught her hand and held it in a firm grip."What the hell are you going on about Olive? Contr
Cyrus had gone to his house to catch a break from everything that was going on in his life, he was honestly stumped and at a loss on what to do.On one hand, he still loved Clarissa but on the other hand, he had started to feel something for Riella perhaps it has always been there for the mate bond to act on.He had always thought about her before the mate bond but now it's amplified and he aches seeing how much he hurts her by ignoring her or insulting her.He is trying his best not to get attached to her because he knows that it is never going to work out. He was already playing a risk with Clarissa loving her when everyone he loves died, he didn't know how to feel if that curse should strike again.It already did once giving him a warning when Clarissa got kidnapped, shot and they lost a baby. He was supposed to be a father but now that would never come to pass and that broke Clarissa who wanted out. He didn't want to let her go but agreed to the space and now...he hasn't heard fr
