로그인Natalie's POV“Mommy!” Will rushed to me and jumped on me, I caught him the best way I could and staggered back a little.Before stepping down from the car, I had not only wiped my tears and acted like I never cried, but I warned the driver not to say a single word to Will. I don't want will find out that I cried all the way to his school“How was your rehearsal?” I asked him and he grinned. I love his smile so much! Gosh!!!“Hello, ma'am,” A woman came to me. She was young and around thirty-two to thirty-three years old.“Hi,” I replied with a smile on my face. “Are you Will's mother?” She asked I looked at Will who was smiling at me and I smiled back,“Yes, yes, I am. Is there a problem?” “No, not at all. I'm Will’s Art teacher and I just wanted to thank you for allowing Will to do this and encouraging him. He is one of the best students in art.” “Oh really now?” I tickled Will who burst into laughter, and the woman joined us in the laugh.“Is he doing well in the play?” I asked.
Natalie's POVMiles, as he had earlier said, didn't go to the office the whole day. He kept plotting how to tell Leo to allow Mia back into the family without having to go on a hunger strike. Grandfather J and I sat on the couch watching him rehearse and rehearse the words he was going to say immediately Leo came in.I didn't need to say anything, I had told him Will and I would do something about it but he wasn't listening because I had spoken about the hunger strike. Grandfather couldn't stop laughing at Miles. It wasn't 2 pm yet when we heard the sound of a car driving in. Miles paused his steps while I gulped. It's a mixed feeling, as much as I wanted to see him, I didn't want to see him because he caused my heart to beat faster than it used to. I was never at ease with him around. Grandfather and I were sitting when we heard his voice, he was speaking with someone. When Miles heard his voice, the coward ran upstairs in a flash. I couldn't help but burst into laughter. But my l
Natalie's POVI stood there watching the car zoom off with speed out of the school compound. I didn't know whether to laugh or frown at what Leo just did. Why does this feel like I was dealing with a kid? After standing there for a long time, I finally pulled out my phone and called Grandpa, “My child,” “Your grandson left me at Will's school and drove off. I didn't take any cash with me so I'm stuck here,” I explained grumpily. This wasn't fair at all. “I'll send one of the drivers to come pick you up,” he said after a while of silence. I nodded and hung up the call. I went outside the school compound as I didn't want anyone to see me there.It took another twenty minutes before a car parked in front of me and the driver came down. “Miles?” I called with confusion written all over my face. I didn't know Miles was now one of the drivers and why was he here instead of the office? “Hello sister-in-law,” he had a weird smile on his face, he was trying to hide the smile but I knew b
Leo's POVI don't know what has come over me to even think of allowing her to do what she's been doing lately. Just yesterday, I had unleashed my anger on her but when I saw how Will was so happy around her, I just couldn't bring my heart to do what I wished any longerI want to fulfill Will's wish which means hers as well, as much as I hate to say it. It's been more than a week and she still hasn't said anything about my outburst of anger where I choked her and almost killed her. Clara is not the type to be quiet when something like this happens. Yeah, she knows I am a vampire but one thing she made so clear to me was never to use my power on her, and yet, I did… almost did and she hasn't flared up yet. Or did she really change as Grandfather had said? No, people don't change. People don't change so quickly. It's been years but still… What would cause her to change? She was unconscious for a while? That wasn't the first time. Drugs had knocked her down so many times and she woke
“You need to talk to Leo for me” I heard Miles say as he stepped into my room. I was going to tell him that I was about to go out but he didn't look like he was here to listen but speak. He had a grumpy face and dark circles under his eyes like he had not been sleeping soundly. He didn't care to see if I was dressed, he went to my bed and sat on it, folding his arms like a kid. “Are you okay?” I closed the door and walked back inside the room. Will was late but since it wasn't really a school day, maybe I could spare Miles some of my time. After all, this was the first time he was seeking my help. “I am not, I have not been since the day Leo stepped foot back inside this house!” his voice filled with pain. I blinked at him, really?Wasn't Leo like his everything? Favorite brother and best friend? “Why? What happened?” I asked, faking ignorance. I remember Grandpa telling me that Miles has a huge crush on Mia and must have been the reason he isn't settled. After all, Leo had driven
It took everything in me to finally drag my legs to the bed even with Leo's gaze on me. He didn't bother to turn his gaze away even when I came to stand closer to him,“I'll take over from here,” I said to him and he was quick to get up, leaving Will and I took over his position. I climbed into the bed and quickly covered my naked thighs with the duvet. I lay on the bed, my hand on Will's hair, and I began to stroke it gently.The white light finally dimmed, Leo had turned it off before heading to the other side of the bed to sleep. I thought he was working before. I quickly closed my eyes, my heart beating palpitating like it was going to fall off. No matter how I closed my eyes, I was too scared to sleep. This was the first time I was in the same space with Leo and he wasn't frowning or yelling at me. Sleep chose to betray me today because I could tell that it was more than thirty minutes and I still hadn't slept even with my eyes closed. I tried not to blink or make any movement
Natalie's POVI stood still in the middle of the living room, not knowing what to do. Grandfather had stated that he would go speak to Leo but I doubt he would agree.After waiting for more than five minutes for any of them to come, I began to pace around the living room. My brows knitted together as
Natalie's POV"You're not Clara, are you?" I gulped when I heard the old man's question. What did I just do?My teeth found my inner cheek as I bit it. My big mouth! I remained there staring at the old man as he looked back at me with that knowing eyes. His facial expressions were saying, 'You cannot
Leo's lips twitched when he saw what his son had just done. He looked from Will to me as he said,“So this is what you want to do? Turn my own son against me?” He asked and I gulped. Actually, that wasn't my plan but seeing that Will was standing up for me made me so emotional. I didn't mind Leo,
Will and I left the room, heading to the dining, where we met Grandfather with a grumpy face. He looked towards us when he heard our footsteps. “You're awake” he stood up firmly, “How are you feeling?” “I'm okay, thank you very much,” I replied with a small smile. My eyes moved from him to the ki
