ANNALISE’S POV"What's this?" I asked casually."Take a look inside. It's our business contract," Jackson said calmly.I nodded slightly as my head spun back to the file."Also, I will be providing you with accommodation based on your preference," Jackson added, and I arched my brow."Isn't this too much? I'm just an architect, and besides, it's not like I'm too broke to afford my own place. I've decided to stay here for the moment," I said boldly, closing the file."Really? You're staying?" Jackson arched his own brow with mischief."Could it be because of me?" he added with his usual smug grin."I said I'll be staying for the moment. I never said it's because of you," I countered, my legs crossing firmly over the other as I set the file down."Sure. I was just joking," Jackson rolled his eyes. "Anyway, that means I still have a chance then.""A chance to do what?" Hope snapped, her lips pursed as she eyed Jackson with suspicion."Umm." Jackson swallowed hard, his eyes darting away f

ANNALISE’S POVI watched as Diego took Katherine away and rolled my eyes. "Finally, some peace and quiet."Jackson’s arm formed a protective barrier around my waist. "I hope they didn’t scare you."My eyes swept onto him, studying his expression. I was staring at him, but I couldn’t shake that word out of my head. "I’m fine," I replied to ease his worries."Mommy, I’m thirsty." Hope’s voice made me instinctively whip my head in her direction.Her big round eyes stared up at me with longing. I gave her a nod, and before I could speak, Jackson moved further to scoop her into his arms."If you’re so thirsty, why don’t I take you to the chefs? I’m sure they can give you something sweet. If you’re hungry, I can also ask them to give you some nice dessert."I muffled a laugh as Hope’s face contorted into her usual frown whenever she was around Jackson. It was obvious she wasn’t happy around him. Reluctantly, she wrapped her arms around his neck, still giving him the wicked bombastic side-ey

ANNALISE'S POVWith a stealthy turn, I stared at my sister again—the nemesis of my problems. I had plenty to thank her for, but that was no excuse for what she did to me."What do you want this time?" I asked, half-concerned as my tone hung low with a dangerous edge. "Haven't you done enough for one evening? Some might think you're deliberately trying to piss me off."Katherine's eyes glimmered, her lips forming into a smile before she rolled her eyes."Yes." Her voice dragged on, her eyes scanning the crowd as she leaned forward until her perfume hit my nostrils. "What if I am?"I smirked, letting out a scoff with a smug expression. Since my sister was unwilling to reveal her evil intentions, there was no use in trying to play nice or fair."Find something better to do so those wrinkles tugging at the sides of your eyes might just ease up a bit."As the words hit her, Katherine's smile faltered, and she blinked furiously.There was no way she expected that, I thought.My eyes cast a

Annalise's Point of View"What are you doing here?"Those were the words my own father said to his daughter, whom he hadn’t seen in five years. Did he really despise me that much? Why did he hate me and love Katherine? Wasn’t I his blood too?My thoughts began to spiral out of control, but I forced a smile to my lips. They didn’t need to know what was going on inside me. They didn’t need to know how much his words had pierced my heart. Besides, it was too late to crave fatherly affection from a man who wouldn’t think twice before running me over with a truck.My eyes darted to the side, and the sight of Katherine and Diego made me want to puke. As usual, she took her role very seriously, clinging to him as if he were the only thing that mattered. He just stood there, his expression unreadable, but I couldn’t help noticing how his eyes softened when they landed on me.I snapped my head back to my father and held his gaze.“Mr. Romeo. It’s an honor to see you again,” I said with a curt

DIEGO'S POVMy heart thundered in my chest as I stared into space. She looked so different from the person I once knew. Even if she was different, she was still Annalise—the woman I grew to love without even realizing it. Just like the first time I met her, she was shining like the star she was, flashing her warm smile. Guilt crept into my heart the more I stared at her. My eyes darted to her side, and my heart stopped when I saw the little girl standing beside her. A sharp pain cut through my chest, and I forced air out of my lungs. My hands tightened over the frame of my glass, my gaze glued on the mini version of Annalise. Was she married? That wasn’t possible, right? How could she be married so soon—and worse, with a kid? My thoughts began to spiral out of control when I felt a nudge on my arm. "Babe, what's going through your mind?" Katherine's voice rang in my ears. Suddenly, I felt a rush of raw emotions. I grabbed her wrist, my movements sharp and abrupt. The sight

ANNALISE'S POVAs the car pulled up to the event venue, my heart began to race even more in my chest. The red carpet stretched ahead, illuminated by flashes from cameras and the low buzz of murmured anticipation from the gathered crowd. Once upon a time, this was the reality of my life, but then I left. Now it seemed that no matter what I did, this was my fate. I was born for the spotlight. My eyes flickered over the place. As Caroline said, this was a huge event. Every major player in high society would be here, and tonight, they would see me. The possibility of running into Kathrine, Diego, or even my parents was not slim. I had to mentally prepare myself for anything. No more playing hide and seek. It was time to get my head into the game and take everything back. My fingers tightened around Hope’s small hand, her soft skin grounding me in the moment. I glanced down to find her looking up at me with her bright and wide eyes. Somehow, they reminded me of Diego's, but I s

ALEXANDER'S POVI wanted her gone from my room, but I found myself wanting to tease her even more.For some reason, I was enjoying the effect I was having on her.The way her pink, sexy lips parted when I got close—it was almost like they were practically begging me to ravish them."Tonight, by midnight..." I chanted slowly.Her long lashes flickered, her chest heaved, and then she swallowed hard.By the moon, why was she so sexy?"You know you want her..." Rex cooed inside my head.My hands trembled slightly. All I wanted to do was tease her, but now it seemed like I was the one getting horny.Damn it, I should have just fucked Lisa first."You're not saying anything. Should I take this as a yes?" I said, leaning over her neck."Babe! Can you get me a towel? I think I left mine inside the wardrobe..." Lisa’s faint voice rang inside my head, and I jolted.Like a bolt of lightning, I regained my composure, making sure to put on my smug grin as I smirked."Sure thing, babe. Just hold on

Alexander's POVEver since I got back to my room, I had been restless. No matter how hard I closed my eyes, I just kept picturing her face at the back of my mind.I exhaled, running my hands over my hair."Hey, baby." I heard Lisa's voice echo from behind me.I spun around to meet her beautiful eyes."They are not as beautiful as our mate’s eyes."The faint smile that managed to cover my lips began to drop in an instant."Shut it." I groaned inside my head.Lisa’s body swayed gracefully, her pointed nipples practically glaring at me through her sexy lingerie.This was what I wanted—have fun and get lost in the aroma of sex, not get entangled with that human."Baby, what's wrong?" Lisa gave me a warm smile. Her slender hand wrapped around my neck, pulling her body against mine.The adrenaline shot up to my head as I grabbed her waist—rough, but also firm."It's nothing for you to worry about. I'm okay," I said calmly.Lisa gave a cute smile that made my cock jump inside my pants. I was

Stella's POV"What's going on in your mind, dear?" Grandma's words were accompanied by her soft touch, making me snap back to reality.My lips curled up into a smile so she wouldn’t get too worried about me."I'm fine, Grandma." My eyes darted over to the table, catching a glimpse of the food right in front of us.At her request, I had made sure to prepare a whole buffet, and from the look of things, she was enjoying herself."Grandma, I hope you like the food," I asked, tilting my head so I could carefully watch her expression.Grandma pursed her lips, and the smile on her face widened as it reached her ears."Of course." She gave a subtle nod and then scooped my hand into hers. "This is delicious."With that, she turned back to her plate, the chattering sound of the knife and fork scraping against the plate momentarily breaking the silence.My face was fixed on my food, trying to enjoy it, but I had no appetite that morning. I couldn't tell if it was because of that jerk Alexander o

Alexander's POVThis human was really driving me insane. But nothing pissed me off more than her guts—the way she spoke to me without hesitation. It was probably because she didn’t know about my identity.Betas and Omegas in the wolf clans cowered at the mention of my name, but now, to think that this insignificant human had no respect for me was worse.She tried to act tough, but she’s nothing but a feeble human, and one snap from my claws would be enough to end her life.“Did you just threaten me?” I arched my brow as her words rang deeper inside my head, and then I tried my best to stifle a laugh.“You are nothing but a feeble human. What could you possibly do to me?”Stella’s expression remained rigid, and not a single waver crossed her face. I was pissed off, really bad, and a part of me wanted to feel bad about it.My fist balled against my thigh, holding hard. The plan was to frustrate her and turn this house into a living hell until she had no choice but to leave on her own.T

STELLA'S POVI slammed the door behind me, my heart racing as I leaned against the wall. "What did I just watch?" I swallowed hard, the lump in my throat sinking into my stomach as I stared into space. "Stella, what's wrong with you?" I bit my lips inwardly. I had just watched Alexander having sex with his girlfriend, and for a moment, I had wished I was the one underneath him. A forbidden thought crept in, uninvited. My skin tingled at the imagined weight of his hands, his breath warm against my neck.I closed my eyes, and then a moan escaped my lips. My cheeks burned red and then I clenched my fist snapping myself into reality."Get yourself together, Stella," I warned inside my head. The next morning, sunlight flushed through the window, warming my face. I twirled in my bed with a moan. "When are you going to wake up, you lazy bone? Please don’t tell me all humans are this tiresome." Alexander's voice rang in my head, and my eyes snapped open. I scurried out of bed,

Stella's POV.“Omg! Freya! Do you recognize that man?” Celine burst into my room just after we got home from work.“Oh no please Celine, I have to sleep. I'm meeting my employer for the second job at 5 pm. I just got the message on my phone. Please let me sleep” I murmured, throwing the blanket over my head.I still remembered how I had fainted last night, in front of that familiar stranger. I wanted to kick up my legs and scream out loud.It was so embarrassing. He rejected me since that was strange then I felt my heart almost jumping out of my chest.I hated that feeling! And I had no plan of ever reliving it or seeing that stranger.Then why do I feel tears surfacing?She pulled the blanket off my face and said “Oh wait, what do you mean your employer? You got the job without meeting them first? That is wonderful! No formal interview and you go the job”“Yes. Now please let me sleep” I covered my face again, satisfied that she got happily distracted. “No Freya, Listen. I have to t
