Chapter 53Thompson's povMy blood boiled. My veins flamed with smokes, burning my insides. I badly want to shove a claw into the Lycan's idiotic face. It didn't faze me so much to hear Alessia address him by his first name. So many times she had attempted it in my presence. I wasn't so shocked. I knew something like this was on between them. I only tried to believe it was Alessia throwing herself on the Lycan. Call it selfish or whatever, I couldn't afford to bear a grudge towards the Lycan king considering the great advantages I earned from him. If he had remained quiet and just let me take Alessia away, we'd have been fine. Everything would have been okay even though I saw him kiss her back with so much enthusiasm. And it wasn't too late either. He could stop the fuss and not test my patience any further. But Alessia was definitely dying tonight. “Ain't you curious, Thompson?’’ He creased a brow, tilting his head as if to get a clearer access to read me. Why did my heart drea

Chapter 52CYRIL’S POVShe froze. Staring at me like she had just encountered a night ghost. The cold night wind brushed a few strands of hair on her face continously. “Why do you look like you've seen a ghost?’’ I creased a brow, tilting my head to watch her more intensely. “Cause I've probably just seen one.’’ She spoke, breathing out, and folding her arms. Her face changed to a serious expression. “You should be in bed now.’’ I stepped forward, but she stepped back, causing me to stop. I guess my gaze were questioning enough. “Why are you talking to me now, have I been invisible to you all these while?’’ She proffered rather defiantly. “Just ignore me like you have been doing all day.’’“Alessia,’’ I called calmly after a moment of silence, but she bursted. “Come to think of it, we're not even anything. Haven't I been so cheap, giving myself to you so many times out of my stupidity? Let's just end it here. Stop what you're doing and I'll be fine with time.’’ She paused to ta

Chapter 51Alessia's pov “Where are you coming from?’’ Thompson demanded before I even shut the door after myself. I stood before the door, my heart confiscating a bit as my rehearsed lie rolled on my tongue. “I asked a question.’’ He fumed, his eyes gleaming with anger and resentment almost made me flop.“I slept out.’’ I swallowed, almost choking on my words. ”Out where?’’ Thompson advanced. “Didn't you need space? I gave you the space you desired.’’ I fired, my back hitting the door as I tried to stylishly step out. I forgot I'd shut the door after coming in earlier. Thompson grabbed my neck in a strong grip, causing my breath to cease in my nose pipes. “Where did you spend the night? Don't you dare lie to me.’’ His breath burnt against my skin. “There are a thousand other bedrooms in this mansion. I could choose to sleep in any if them like you did the first time we visited here.’’ I used his very own actions against him. My killer counter-attack point. His fingers tighte

Chapter 50Cyril’s POVI couldn't resist the heat of her presence, especially behind these confinement. No one, not even Thompson, could be allowed access to this floor. The only reason Alessia was allowed in here was the general knowledge in the mansion that she was my mate. There were CCTV cameras at the entrance passage and the elevator which of course was under the supervision of security bodies. She would have gotten stuck in the elevator until they came to get her out. I watched surprise and disbelief cross her alluring facial features, her lips perking up like she was going to say something but didn't know what. It'd been a grave burden forcing myself to ignore her. But if I had to get her in the next one month as planned, I needed to stick to the rules of the game plan. I knew it'd affect her. I saw the pain in her eyes every time I treated her like a lint in Thompson's presence. The goal was to make her realise how much she truly craved my attention, my admiration, and my

Chapter 49Alessia's pov“Is there a problem, Mrs Weverse?’’ Alan stopped a few steps away. “Is this some kind of joke now?’’ I glared, detesting the way he laid emphasis on Thompson's last name on me. ‘‘How do you mean, Mrs…’’“Don't.’’ I cut in. “I do that know what you're talking about, please come with me.’’ I could swear I saw him roll his eyes. “I know my way around here, obviously. So there's no point of you following me around.’’ I stopped him before he took another step. “I'll take this as your dismissal then.’’ He squinted shortly and walked away. Sighing exhaustedly, I entered the room to see two maids already fixing my wnd Thompson's stuff in. “Melanie!’’ My face brightened as I recognised her as the first maid. “Welcome back, my lady.’’ She lowered her head. “We're organizing the place, please be a little patient. We'll be done in less than ten minutes.’’ Her manner of politeness was nothing short of awkward. Yes, she was usually polite but not in a distanced ma

Chapter 48Alessia's pov.I didn't wait five more minutes at the beach. I packed up our snacks and folded the mat. Neither Adrian nor Liah tried to oppose my action and quietly followed my lead. They ruined everything in the first place after all. I drove back home and went straight into the shower. I thought I had gotten over Cyril, why the hell did I go numb in his arms?Pulling my towel to wrap myself, I stepped out of the bathroom dripping wet to meet Thompson on my bed. He stared for a while, his gaze sweeping down to my feets before coming back to linger on my thighs.“How was your hang out at the beach?” He asked. Not like he really cared to know.“Didn't you leave for the office this morning?’’ I asked back, a little surprised to see him. A chuckle left his lips, one I thought seemed rather weird. “There's really much you don't know about.’’ He remarked. His comment cut like a sharp slice against my chest. Quietly, I strode to my closet to get some clothing. I was at it w
