Chapter 106
Luis
I watched the car that carried my Witch drive away. When I saw her tonight, all I wanted to do was rip that dress off her body and ravish her. I didn’t want anyone to see her in it. I felt anger when I learned she was going to frer ex-husband. I insisted she wear a coat over her dress because it was too sexy! It pained me that she was going to him, but I played it cool.
“Would you like a cup of coffee, sir?” The lovely middle-aged woman asked. She must be Gina. I smiled at her and shook my
head.
“No, thank you. I should go now,” I said. My lycan, Loki, whimpered. He wanted us to stay and wait for her.
I started to walk to my car but stopped. I looked back at Gina and said,
“A cup of coffee wouldn’t hurt, ”
We went into the house. Gina guided me to one of the smaller salons. Five minutes later, a servant brought as our coffee. I took a
sip.
“So, did you raise Zeyneb?” I asked Gina. She smiled warmly and nodded.
“Yes, but CC was there too,” she answered. I could tell she cared about Zeyneb a lot.” Zeyneb is a special girl,”
“That she is,”
“Do you like her, Mr. Vanders?” she eyed me intently.
“I like her and would like to get to know her better,” I confessed. It felt good to speak out loud.
Gina told me about Zeyneb as a child. She grew up a confident girl.
She even brought out an old family album to show me pictures. Zeyneb had always been the prettiest girl.
I was missing her now that I was going through her photos. I wanted to see her. To kiss her.
It had been an hour since she left. Why wasn’t she back yet? I wish I knew where they went so I could check all the cameras in the area to ensure her safety.
I decided to text her, but I didn’t know what to say.
[Have you arrived safely?] I pressed send. The truth is that I wanted to ask to come back home now. However, I couldn’t do that. My phone beeped, and I opened her message,
[Yes. What are you doing]
୮
[ Gina offered me coffee, so I’m still at your place} I told her. I wanted her to think of me, to know that I was here waiting for her, and not to entertain her ex-husband.
Over a minute had gone by, and I was getting anxious as to why she wasn’t replying to me,
My phone beeped again, and I smiled as I read her text.
[ You miss me, don’t you) she said. Zeyneb Carter was very confident, but I loved it.
What the fuck. Or maybe I was just worried that she was with her ex.
He could hurt her or persuade her to get back with her.
[ I won’t deny it. I do miss you] I confessed. I could feel Gina’s glances at me. She was smiling secretly. All of this was new to me. I couldn’t believe texting someone would be so satisfying and delightful. It was witchcraft. She was a fucking enchantress. I was drawn to her. Zeyneb Carter made my heart beat wildly.

Butterflies are swirling in my stomach. I would love to continue this. I need to finish this meeting)
[ Be safe, and don’t let him get close to you, Witch]
‘My witch,’ Loki said silently.
I was jolted when my phone rang. I thought it was Zeyneb calling, but I frowned when I saw it was Vanessa. I pushed the answer
button,
“Hello,”
She was sniffing, “I need you now,”
“Where are you? Are you safe?” I asked, alarmed.
“I left home because Alfred beat me. He almost killed me. I am at the hotel,” she cried.
I ended the call and stood up.
“I can’t wait for her. There is an emergency,” I told Gina. She frowned but smiled at me.
“Alright. Have a good night,” she said.
I drove straight to the hotel. I was worried about Vanessa. I used her to get information about her husband. If Alfred Pacito found out, no doubt he would kill her. She was my responsibility.
Zeyneb
I was smiling from ear to ear. My belly was full of butterflies, and I felt giddy. Maybin had been glaring at me the whole time, but the smile on my face couldn’t be helped. I blushed so hard when Luis confessed to missing me. Maybin slammed his fist on the table to get my attention.
“Can we now talk? You’ve been texting and smiling. It’s rude,” he gritted his teeth. He was angry and jealous. I raised my eyes and glared at Maybin.
[ Butterflies are swirling in my stomach as much as I would love to continue this. I need to finish this meeting] I responded to Luis’ text that said he missed me.
[ Be safe, and don’t let him get close to you, Witch]
Smiling, I put the phone away and gave my ex-husband my attention. However, my mind was not there. It was with Luis. I just wanted to go home to him.
“I’m all yours,” I said to Maybin.
“It doesn’t seem that way,” he snickered.
“Just say your peace and sign the documents,” I groaned. Maybin pulled a face but smiled,
“Well, you look beautiful. You always do,” he said.
“Of course,”
“Always secure. That’s one of the many things I love about you,” he said warmly.
“Did you get me out of the comfort of my home because of this? Tell me what you love about me.” I sneered.
“Well, I wanted to discuss our future,” he said thoughtfully. I raised my index finger to stop him right there. There was a future,
but not OUR.
“Please don’t put future and US in the same sentence. You are nowhere near my future and vice versa,” I made it clear.
