Chapter 126Ace's POVAlexa's painful screams echoed across the corridor. I paced around, running my hands through my hair out of frustration. Alexa has been in labor for the past one hour. I had brought the best midwives from different packs hoping that would help her deliver faster and easier, but her cries and screams told me otherwise.A midwife runs out of the room with her hands covered in blood. I started to panic out of fear.“Alpha, we need more hot water and towels,” she said hurriedly. I quickly turn around to the maids behind me.“You heard what she said, get it right away!” I bark at them and they scurry away. The midwife tries to go back in, but I step in front of her.“What is going on? Is she okay?” I asked worriedly.“We can't say for now Alpha, the matter is complicated, but we will try our best to make sure the mother and child are okay,” she said.“Ahhhhhhhh!” Alexa screams out in pain again. “Let me in. I want to see her,” I said to her. She shakes her head.“I'm

Chapter 125Alexa's POVEight months laterI sit close to the window, staring into space as I gently rub my now obvious baby bump. My life passed by like a blur, so much time has passed, yet I feel like I'm still stuck in the same place. This is my life now, a life full of misery and pain.I wipe the tears that are falling down my cheeks with my hands as I sniffle. I can't remember the last time I smiled or laughed.

I grab my dress instead and walk away from him towards the house. He follows behind me with his guards. We all walk in and waited in the living room. My hands gently touch the sofa and the walls. I hardly recognize this place, it looks totally different from how it used to be. Uncle Gaius had totally changed the whole place."Alpha Ace," I hear the voice of the man that his betrayal is deeply rooted within me. The start of my miseries and misfortunes."And who might this young lady be?" he asks. My back is turned towards him so he could not see my face."Nice renovation uncle," I said turning towards him.

Chapter 122Ace's POVIt is dark in my office, and that is what I want—darkness. I revel in it. I find it soothing. It held nothing, just silence and the occasional swirling of my glass.

Chapter 4 Four years later Emily Monroe “We are here, Emily,” I slowly opened my eyes when I heard Xavier's voice, and I looked outside the window. We had already arrived at the auction house. “Oh…” I mouthed, exhaling deeply. It has been four years since I last stepped my foot into this city, and I couldn't believe that I would be here today. Yes, I still had plans of coming back here, but I never imagined it'd be this soon. My phone pinged with a text just when I alighted from the car. It was a text from Stiles. 'I'm sorry I couldn't go with you, babe. I promise to meet you there as soon as I'm done here' We were supposed to attend the auction together, but just before we could leave the house, he got a call from work, and had to leave first. I had to call Xavier to fill in for him at the last minute. ‘It’s fine. Do your thing' I replied to his text before proceeding into the building with Xavier trailing behind me. Despite wasting three good years of my life

Chapter 3 A few days later Emily Monroe “Alright… There you go,” I finally opened my eyes when I heard the stylist's voice, and the first thing I saw was my reflection in the mirror, staring right back at me, looking as beautiful as ever. My eyes glistened with tears as I slowly clenched my jaw tightly. Josh had drained me so much that I didn't realise I was still this beautiful. I barely had peace in my ex-husband's house, how could I have the zeal to look beautiful? Even when I tried to, he would always make sure he bruised my ego so badly. A knock came on the door, followed by my dad's voice, and I quickly put on a smile. I rose to my feet and went to get the door, revealing my ever handsome and young dad. He was in his late fifties, but he still looked very young as though he was in his forties. His pair of brown eyes pierced into mine, a soft smile playing on his cute face. “Everyone is waiting. Are you ready?” He held out his hand to me, and I took it, givin

Chapter 2Emily Monroe“What!”Josh's eyes widened once he was done reading the divorce agreement, his gaze raising to meet my smirk.“Fifty percent of my assets? Are you kidding me?” His voice came out dryly, fear creeping into his eyes.“My client is considerate enough to demand just a split of your assets. Are you going to agree to settle it here, or we take it to court where you'll lose everything to her?” Xavier, who was sitting beside me spoke.I wasn't wrong hiring Xavier as my lawyer after all.“Are you doing this to extort money from me?” Josh looked tense as he spoke, his eyes searching mine.“Emily…” Josh paused, dropping the divorce agreement back on the center table before he continued. “I understand that you don't have anything to fall back on since you've been depending on me the whole time, but do you really think doing this is necessary?” I resented myself for not knowing the true color of the man I married all these years. Loving him blindly when he was nothing but

Chapter 1Emily Monroe“Pick the phone, please, Josh,” My fingers tapped subconsciously against the table, while holding my phone with my right hand, my eyes glued to the screen as I dialed his number again. For the seventeenth time, actually.And yet again, the call rang until it ended with a beep, a dead silence playing after word. He didn't answer his phone.My heart raced, thumping hard against my ribcage, and with every single thump louder and heavier than the previous one.It was our third anniversary today, and here I was, waiting in the middle of the night for my husband to come home to me, yet there was no sign of him, and worse still, he wasn't taking my calls.My eyes dropped to the gold-plated Rolex wrist watch lying neatly inside the gift box on the table. Beside it were the delicacies I had taken my time to make. His favourite meals which were now cold and untouched after hours. And finally, a bouquet of his favourite flowers. I had been looking forward to this day for m
