Chapter 7

Sabrina's POV

Days passed. Weeks even. Radio silence from my supposed husband. Not like I was complaining or anything but a feeling of abandonment clothed me like a second skin for no reason. Still, I adjusted back to my former life that he shook momentarily.

Well, at least that's what I thought.

I woke up to the sound of a parcel Van driving inside my apartment complex. It was a large complex but as far as I knew, no one had any belongings that would even fill up the size of the van, based on what I was hearing. It sounded big and large. We were all so poor, we couldn't even afford one, so who the hell brought it here?

While I was still in my state of bewilderment, trying to get out of bed, a call came in. A call I least expected, and from the scariest man I know, jerked my phone alive.

As I picked my phone and saw his name, my skin crawled and my face scrunched up, disgusted and bothered. What the hell did he want now?

He paid for my son's hospital bills, I got married to him and we met his grandma. End of story. That was the plan for the next two years! Ugh, I hated this already.

It's crazy because even though I was attracted to him, I felt nothing for him now, not even the tiniest attraction. How could a man like that be attractive after he tricked a woman into getting married so he would get revenge on her ex husband?

I shivered just thinking about it, but I picked up and put the phone on loudspeaker.

My kids didn't sleep with me as I made sure to let them have a separate room to bond and be kids and right, to not bother me extra because even though I was a mom, I had a life too.

“Freshen up and get dressed, or not. The point is, you're moving out of that place and moving in with me, so get ready with your kids. The car will take your kids to school and bring you to me. The truck outside will take care of your belongings.”

I thought I didn't hear him correctly because there was just no way he said what he just said. So the truck is for me? He brought a truck here to force me out of my house? It was beyond funny, the audacity.

“You're insane if you think I'll listen to you, Kyle. You're very insane and I will do no such thing.” The words came out of my mouth faster than I could process. I was just so angry.

“You won't move out?”

“No Kyle. I won't.” I shook my head as if he could see.

“Oh Sabrina. I'm giving you the easy way out and I don't enjoy wasting my time over calls. I'm waiting.”

“Hey!” Then the lie went dead. I was about to snap at him so how dare him! It was easier over the phone. The alpha hung up on me after leaving me with devastating, life changing news. Wait, why was it so sad when I would simply not listen? I smiled again, the solution making my day great again. I got out of bed and prepared my kids for school.

Moments later, I heard the noisy van leave the premises. Good. I love how Kyle understood that I will never bend, especially now that I knew he tricked me. I'll never forgive him for it either.

Why would he even want me to move in with him when his grandma was having the best time in the hospital and wasn't at home? We didn't need to go that far. No matter how long and hard I thought about it, it genuinely made no sense.

After a great morning, I dropped the kids off at school and went straight to work. Life was good. I got better pay for some reason and I enjoyed working now even though it was the same stress everyday.

After work, I headed to my children's school to pick them up but I got the greatest shock of my life. At least I thought it was at the time, I had no idea that things would get much worse and I was actually married to a maniac and a psycho.

How didn't I see this before sleeping with him! I was thoroughly disgusted with my skin upon hearing the words that came out of their teacher's mouth.

“How could you give them away to him without calling me first. Without my permission!” I saw red. My heart almost leapt right out of my chest in shock. I was boiling with unparalleled anger, the kind I didn't even know I could harness before today. I was burning with need to be violent. Oh Kyle how dare you?

The teacher quivered, knowing fully well the mess she had just gotten herself into. I was trying hard to calm down but it was so hard, and she was such an easy target to expel all my anger on. It was too much, constricting air flow from my lungs.

“Ma'am, we didn't hand them over without evidence. He showed texts and he claimed that he was in a hurry. He's the alpha of our pack, he'll never hurt your kids. He said he's your husband. I thought you weren't married but I didn't question it but now–”

I took deep breaths while she spoke, then cut her short and nodded, finally making progress with coming to my senses.

“No, I'm married to him, yes and I know he'll never hurt my kids but still, what wouldn't he do?”

The last line was to myself, still panicking. He took them with him to play with my head and make me beg. I'll never ever beg him for anything so he should better return my kids back or I'll take it up with the leaders of the pack, be him the alpha or not.

My head spun, knowing I could never even try out the things I thought about doing in retaliation. It was too much.

“Ma'am I'm so sorry but I can't think of a way to help you. I'm going to lose my job too.” The petite teacher's voice was so soft, and she was having such a hard time. I decided to let it be, it wasn't her fault and it could've happened to anyone, after all Kyle was involved.

“No, don't worry, I won't tell on you. I know where he is, I'll just try to get them back so you don't have to worry about it. I apologize for my outburst.” I reassured her, then walked away immediately, embarrassed, ashamed, and thinking of a way forward.

I put a call across to the devil and like I expected, he picked up on the first ring like he had been waiting for me.

“Sabrina.”

“Where are my kids? Bring them back here.”

From the end of the call, there was dead silence and just when I thought he hung up, a deadly chuckle emanated from it, causing shivers to run down my spine.

It was carefully controlled like he was trying to stay composed, and it scared the shit out of me when I was the one supposed to be calling him out on his misdemeanor. Kidnapping my kids to prove a point? Excuse me?

“Kyle, bring my kids back. I'm not joking. Playtime is over, so bring them back.” I tried to mask how much my lips trembled and the way my mouth shook in fear, but he didn't miss it. I wasn't as confident as I tried to portray.

“Cute. Really cute, wife.” His voice was filled with hints of amusement, like I was the star actress of a sitcom he was watching. He was having fun. He was having fun at my expense. I couldn't believe it.

“We are married on paper, Kyle! I will never live with a ruthless, sick man like you so if that's your plan, give it up and bring my kids back. Last warning!”

Then I cut it. He knew where he took my kids from. I expected him to bring them back, so I waited.

An hour passed, nothing. Two hours passed, nothing still. Three, I freaked out. Four, it dawned on me that this man wasn't coming with my kids.

Who the hell could I possibly complain to about this?
