Wanted By The Wolf King Chapter 1 Rabel

Have you ever wondered how life will be like if you weren't born the way you were?

Have you wondered why people judge others for a situation they can't control?

If you haven't,then welcome to my life.

Welcome to my world, the world of Rabel Ichie Uzoamaka the shunned maiden of Mabudazou.

"Witch", I heard a village mutter as I passed her by,

"Ekwensu's( is an evil proprietor; he's the god of all things evil) child", another spat the moment I walked past her.

I've grown used to the way they treat me in our small town.

It doesn't help that I dyed my white hair black to blend in with others, but despite that the villagers still single me out every time; every single time.

I paused at Mama Nneka's house to drop a herb for her; her daughter Nkechi is seriously down with fever.

A single dose of my Akwukwo Ede administered to her by me can clear her fever in few hours.

Her mother is willing to take the medicines I drop on her doorposts but she's not willing for me to directly treat her child.

The Mmiri ude I've been giving her is enough to keep the fever at bay but not fully heal her.

Walking pass Mama Nneka's house after I dropped the medicine on their doorpost, I walk towards the house of my friend Soso; I hope she isn't in Akwukw if she is, I won't forgive myself for not being to her house earlier.

"Rabel!", Soso happily rushed towards me, enveloping me in a breathe stopping hug she smiles up at me, "I thought you weren't coming today", she pouted cutely.

I stooped low to embrace my bestest friend; she's the only one that doesn't fear me in the entirety of Mabudazou.

"How can I afford to miss your warm hug soso?", I poked her cute chubby cheeks, " you're my ray of sunshine; the only person I will sail the entire world just to be with you", I smile at her.

It's not an exaggeration of words when I say those; she's the only person I will sacrifice both my safety for her.

She touches my dyed hair, "why did you change your hair color? I like the other one better!", she looks at my said hair with hatred on her eyes.

I touch said hair, " I want to try out a new look", I lie to her for not the first time since I started hanging out here with her.

I dyed my hair to make they animosity the villagers have on me to lessen, but instead of having the desired effect, it had the opposite.

She smiles like the kid she is,"it looks good on you though", she shrugs while giving me a side smile.

" Am glad you like it", I genuinely smiled at her.

" Mummy said Ekwensu must have taken you back to his lair when I complained about your lateness today", she lays her head on my shoulder, " I was really heartbroken when I thought you won't visit me today".

" Don't worry about that Dearie; I won't miss a day without you", I opens my bag of goodies, " guess what I brought for you today?", I Smile more brightly than I've done since I last saw her yesterday.

It's always a game we play each time I visit their house their house.

"Achicha?", She guesses,

I shake my head, "no", I grin more; this is my favourite part of my visit to their house.

"Kanda?", she guesses; she must have guessed that since it was what I brought for her yesterday.

"No", I grin the more.

She frowns, "am tired of the game; I can't guess any more, give me what you bought already", she pouts like the cute girl she is.

I brought out what I bought for her, "surprise!", I laugh at the look of surprise on her face.

"Really!", She squealed as she takes the the puppy I made with a wooden stake, "I love it Rabel; thank you very much!", She twirls with the puppy in her embrace.

I grin with satisfaction; I was afraid she won't like it when I saw it.

I decided to make the puppy when she complained about not having a play toy to play with.

Making the said puppy took me months to really perfect; months spent under the sun.

My efforts weren't a waste if the person I made the effort for really appreciates it.

"Am glad you like it", I shyly said; am not used to having compliments given to me, am well used to words of hatred spat on me.

"Like it? I love it!", She hugs me as she dances up and down with unrestrained happiness.

Her happiness to me is like an aphrodisiac; it's a contagious one.

"Soso!", I heard the sharp voice of he mother from her doorposts.

Their house like all other shackled buildings in the village.

Most of the houses in the village are built with stone ( for those who have enough resources) and clay ( for the poor masses).

I live in a stone building since my dad was one of the richest in the entire of Mabudazou; he was a chief before his untimely death.

Soso and her family live in a clay building for they don't have enough money to build a stone house.

Their houses were roofed with thatch, not a speck of Nku was in sight.

Most of the thatch in their roof are already decaying for lack of care; I won't be surprised if the house caves in on them before the Onwa( month) ends.

I've asked them to live with me since am the only one living in the house my dad built, but they refused for fear they might be bewitched.

People are afraid of what they don't understand; they're afraid of things they can't control.

"Soso get back here this instant!", her mom stood on the threshold not making a move to walk towards me; I can see the fear in her eyes from a distance; she's afraid of coming closer to me for fear she might contact my witch illness.

"I don't want to come on just yet; I want to spend more time with Rabel", she pouts as she turns towards me, " I don't want to go just yet Rabel; hope you will stay with me?", she hugs me closer to herself for fear I might slip through her fingers.

I look up at the mother who was glaring at me, "I don't think that will be a wise thing to do now Soso", I don't want to leave her, but I can't stay with her more than I've already done if I want to spend more time with Soso another day.

Ignoring her calls for Rama might make her prevent me from spending more time with Soso.

"I have places to deliver my medicines to", that's not a lie at least; I have to visit at least three more houses before I retire for the day.

Ekele is suffering from paralysis and I have to give him his daily dose of medicine before sunset today; any delay from me might cause his untimely demise which will in turn lead to the villagers shunning me for the Rest of my life.

At least they allow me to walk the streets without physically abusing me; they verbally abuse me, but they haven't for once abused me physically.

"At least stay a little longer with me", Soso pouts , "you wasted enough time to come to me as it is, please stay till I leave for Akwukwo", she gives me her best puppy eyes.

Akwukwo is a place the children go to to learn of our history; every child on the entire village is expected to pass through Akwukwo before they can graduate to being tradesmen and women.

I never attended the learning for once in my entire life( the villagers threatened to remove their children from the learning center of I so much as attend the Akwukwo learning center); the things I learnt I learnt from my father.

"I would have loved to stay Soso but I can't; you know Ekele is seriously down with illness, I can't afford to miss giving him his daily dose of medication", I stood up, " I will see you tomorrow Soso, take care", I look at the mother who was still giving me a deadly glare.

"I love you Rabel remember that!", she shouts after me.

"I love you more Soso", and I mean that, I love her more than I've loved any one in my entire life; she's more than a friend to me; she's family.

I took a short route to Ekele's house to avoid meeting the accusing villagers; it's not everyday one has the strength to listen to their verbal accusations.

Knocking on his door, I keep the medicine on his door post; he will see it when he opens the door.

Checking on the remaining medicines in my bag, I walk towards the other people that owns it.

Five more houses to go to before I complete my daily routine.

Emma

I married Clive Harrington, the coldest billionaire in Manhattan, under a strict contract that forbade any emotional burdens. When I needed a high-risk surgery to save my sight, I checked into the clinic alone, hiding the procedure from a husband who saw me as nothing more than a legal asset. I thought I could handle the darkness in silence. But while I was blind and bandaged in my hospital bed, my biological mother called, screaming that if I didn't produce a Harrington heir by the end of the fiscal year, she would cut off the life-saving treatments for my disabled sister. I was crawling on the cold hospital floor, desperately feeling for a cane I had dropped, when I touched a pair of expensive leather shoes. It was Clive. He was supposed to be in London closing a multi-million dollar deal, but there he was, watching his "contract wife" groveling in the dark like a beggar. He didn't walk away in disgust. He carried me to a five-thousand-dollar-a-night VIP suite and sat by my bed, listening in chilling silence as another voicemail from my mother filled the room, calling me a "useless broodmare" who was only worth the trust fund disbursements my marriage secured. I expected him to remind me of Clause 34B or hand me divorce papers now that I was "damaged goods." Instead, I felt his thumb brush a stray tear from my cheek, his presence shifting from a statue of ice into a predatory shield. "I thought I was just currency to you," I whispered, my voice trembling behind the gauze. "Just an investment." Clive didn't answer with words. He picked up his phone and called his head of legal with a single, terrifying command: "Kill the Douglas family’s credit lines. Every debt, every lien—trigger them all. If they want a war, I’ll give them a massacre." As he leaned down to kiss my bandaged forehead, I realized the contract was dead. My husband wasn't protecting an asset anymore; he was hunting the people who had dared to touch what belonged to him.

I sat on the edge of the examination table, the crinkle of the sanitary paper sounding like thunder in the sterile room. The doctor didn't even look at me as he confirmed the news: the pregnancy was over. My husband, Keyon, didn't answer my call. He just sent an automated text: "In a meeting." When I returned to our cold mansion, I found his iPad glowing with a message from his "muse," Katina. He was throwing her a secret gala tonight-on our third wedding anniversary. He told her he couldn't wait to escape the "boring" and "draining" atmosphere I created at home. Keyon didn't stumble in until 3 AM, smelling of Katina's perfume with a smear of red on his collar. When I handed him the divorce papers, he laughed in my face. He called me a "glorified housekeeper" with no skills and no future, promising I'd be back in three days begging for a subway ticket. He even bet his friends ten thousand dollars that I wouldn't survive a week without his name. He had his assistant cancel my credit cards and block my gate access before I even reached the end of the driveway. He wanted me to starve. He wanted me to crawl. He sat in his office, mocking the "desperate" woman who pawned her three-million-dollar wedding ring for scrap metal just to pay for a meal. I stood on the rainy curb, watching the man I had protected for three years treat my life like trash. He didn't know about the ultrasound I just threw in the bin. He didn't know that while he was calling me "dull," I was the one secretly writing the code that kept his billion-dollar empire from collapsing. As I slid into a cheap Uber, I opened a hidden, encrypted app on my phone. The screen refreshed to a dashboard for an account Keyon didn't know existed. The balance was ten figures long-the accumulated wealth of "Solaris," the world's most elusive tech genius. Keyon thinks he just evicted a parasite, but he's about to find out he just declared war on the only person who can hit "delete" on his entire life.

I lay paralyzed on stiff white sheets, a prisoner in my own skin, listening to the rain lash against the window like nails on a coffin. My father, Elmore Franco, didn't even look at my face as he checked his clipboard. He just listened to the steady, monotonous beep of the heart monitor-the only thing proving I was still alive. Without a hint of remorse, he pulled a pen from his pocket and signed the Do Not Resuscitate order. My stepmother, Ophelia, stepped out from behind him, wearing my favorite pearl necklace and smelling of cloying perfume. She leaned close to my ear to whisper the truth that turned my blood to ice. "It was the tea, darling. Just like your mother. A slow, tasteless poison." She chuckled as she revealed that my fiancé, Bryce, had a two-year-old son with my sister, Daniela. My inheritance had been funding their secret life for years, and now that the money was secure, I was an inconvenience they were finally scrubbing away. As my father yanked the power cord from the wall, the beeping died, and the darkness swallowed me whole. I was being murdered by my own flesh and blood, used as a bank account until I was no longer needed. I died in that sterile room, drowning in the realization that every person I ever loved was a monster who had been waiting for me to take my last breath. Then, I gasped. I woke up in a luxury hotel suite surrounded by silk sheets, five years in the past-the very morning of my wedding. Next to me lay Basile Delgado, the "Wolf of Wall Street" and my family's most dangerous enemy. In my first life, I ran from this room in a panic and lost everything. This time, I looked at the man who would eventually destroy my father's empire and decided to join him. "I'm not leaving, Basile. Marry me. Right now. Today."

I went to the City Clerk’s office for a routine copy of my marriage license to finalize a trust fund audit. I expected a simple piece of paper, but the clerk’s pitying look told me my entire life was a lie. "The license was never finalized, Ms. Oliver. In the eyes of the state, you are single." The three-hundred-guest wedding at the Plaza and the Vogue features meant nothing. My husband, Gray Cooley, had intentionally filed the documents with a "procedural defect" so he could discard me without a legal divorce. Moments later, an iCloud invite titled "Our Little Secret" popped up on my screen. It was a photo of my best friend, Brylee, holding a positive pregnancy test at our Hamptons estate. Gray’s text to her was the final blow: "Happy anniversary, babe. This baby is the best gift. Once the trust unlocks today, we’re done with the charade." I soon discovered they were even stealing my career, reassigning my architectural masterpiece to Brylee while preparing my eviction notice. Gray's mother called me a "barren mule" in a leaked recording, mocking the infertility I suffered after saving Gray’s life in a construction accident. I wasn't a wife; I was a three-year placeholder used to secure his inheritance. How could the man I bled for treat me like a disposable prop? How could my best friend carry his child while pretending to comfort me through my darkest moments? The betrayal burned until it turned into a cold, hard stone of fury. I didn't cry. Instead, I walked into the penthouse of the Barretts, the Cooleys' most powerful rivals. I signed a marriage contract with Kane Barrett, the man the tabloids called the "Beast of Wall Street." "I want a wedding," I told his father, my voice steady and lethal. "Bigger than the one I had with Gray." If they wanted me gone, they would have to watch me become the woman who owns their world.
