KeleighMurder…. It was just too big of a crime to think of. I had to figure out something else instead. I was a little worried and skeptical. Roman went on, trying to convince me to give my approval and I wished I could listen to him but something just did not seem right hence I decided to follow my heart.“Alright then. We will talk about it by evening.” I responded. He really didn’t want to leave and instead, try to urge me even more.“We will talk about it later. I have to think of how we will carry it out without us being caught.” I lied to him. Quite convinced, he nodded and walked away, looking around suspiciously like he had come to steal.Again, I was invited for lunch and just like always, the brothers seemed to be quite cheerful and excited to see me. Somehow, I felt guilty about everything that was going on. I had to put an end to it.“I will be going on an important trip again today.” Arnold informed me and I raised my brows to look at him. “I will be back in two days “ H
~KeleighThe moment the young man walked out of the room, relief washed through me. I was however still worried about the fact that they could come back to me. I tried to get up even though every part of my body ached.I however struggled to get up. Just then, the door pushed open and Roman walked in with a frown etched to his face.“You were right..” I croaked. “I should have listened to you. I should have eloped when you mentioned it. I should have escaped!” I yelled. It made my inside burn and I wished I could stop it but it just happened.“You just have to be careful but also, you need to stay calm. We will leave tomorrow night.” He spoke. I arched my brows. Did he really not understand what was going on?“What are you saying? I almost lost my life and all you can say is for me to be calm? I could have been dead right now. I could have been rotting away. Why on earth can you not see that?” I questioned.“I understand…. I understand how you feel about everything and I really do car
KeleighConfusion was a term that could not do justice to how I felt. I didn’t know what to believe anymore.“Leave.” Ryker ordered immediately and my eyes widened. Was this a plan of theirs to kill me?“I want him to be here. He has some… he has to be here.” I objected. As expected, their brows were raised and I knew it would make them doubt the relationship between us. “I just… need security. I cannot afford another attempt being made on my life again. I cannot take the risk.” I responded, trying so hard not to show any suspicions.“No one can be trusted.” Ryker responded. “Everyone… is a suspect in this pack and as a result…. No one can be excluded from being investigated. Please, let us do this for your sake. It is all for the best.”Arnold’s eyes , wide held the pleading of a puppy begging, impossible to resist. I looked up at him and then at Ryker.“Isn’t that so, Roman?” Ryker questioned with a smile on his face and Roman’s lips curved inwards although his eyes still remained f
~KeleighI wasn’t going to gullible with them. Although a greater part of me wanted to pour the drink on both of their bodies, it took the whole of me to exercise self control and not do it.I lowered the glass immediately and held it tight, looking through the content. I looked at them both and I could see the shock in their eyes.“They made this right in front of you, didn’t they?” I questioned. With a nod that showed he wasn’t sure of where I was heading to, he nodded and arched his brows.“Can you take a sip?” I questioned and his brows arched, perhaps surprised that I had made such a request. Arnold looked just as shocked as he wondered why I had asked for something like that.“I would like you to take a sip.” I requested again and Arnold stood up before proceeding towards his brother.“Do you.... think I can hurt you? Do you think I can kill you?” Ryker questioned, sounding so hurt and heartbroken. I wished I could tell him that was not the truth but instead, I remained mute. I
KeleighArnold walked right back in with a friend in his face just as I was about to head out of the room and o course, I did have a gazillion thoughts running my mind at that point. He could definitely not be there to hurt me, could he?I remained quiet as I stared at him still and he did the same too, looking quite exhausted.“Seeing you here at this time…I wasn’t expecting you.” I broke the deafening silence that was beginning to make me feel like a crazy woman. I had no idea what was going on through his mind but he did look like something was indeed going through his mind.“I was a little worried something could have happened to you.” He started and I arched my brows. What on earth was he talking about? Had they planned something else this time around?“What do you mean?” I probed even further. I was beginning to get quite confused.“The maid who served your meal had escaped and two of the guards were found dead. Perhaps, they had been poisoned.” He started. Just then, Ryker ram
~KeleighDisappointed in myself, I could not help but sit right on the floor still. I knew how bad it was for one to be let down. I tried to figure out what I wanted to say to them but there seemed to be nothing that came out of my mind. I could it string any word together.Perhaps, I should have trusted them. I should have believed there was no way they could hurt me. Maybe I should have known they cared about me and not want my downfall. Someone else was definitely behind it and was trying to cause between us and I guess it was happening.It was still strange to find out where he had been. Roman. I had not seen him since the previous day. Perhaps, the order for no one to one close to me had made him leave. Getting up and wiping off my tears, I headed out of my room, md instead to where I could possibly find him.I suddenly felt a grip on my shoulder and my eyes widened in surprise. A gazillion thoughts ran through my mind all at the same time. Arnold’s information about the maid mis
~KeleighTears strode down my cheeks as I watched them both walk away from them, Ryker not staring at me not even for a second. Guilt filled me immediately and I felt so alone. The brothers seemed to he in a rush as they walked away from me.I tried to go after them but they had gone into their room, leaving me no chance to speak with them. Determined not to let go, I sat by their door, waiting for them to walk out of the room again. Seconds rolled into minutes and minutes into hours and I could not help but be surprised at why they had refused to come out. Perhaps, because they were aware I was in there?After what seemed like forever, a guard came to their door, bowed at me and frantically placed a knock on the door. My brows arched and I looked up at him, wondering what was happening. He on the other hand seemed quite worried and scared.On the fourth knock, the door flung open and both of the Alphas walked out, staggering, obviously drunk. I gasped at looking at them as I wondere
KeleighThe next couple of days were not so easy for me. The cycle repeated itself over and over again. Neither of them seemed to pay me any attention whatsoever neither did they agree to have breakfast or any meal whatsoever with me. The silence treatment they were giving me was killing me and it felt like I was beginning to lose my mind.Instead, they had been more concerned about finding the maid who had escaped and bring whoever had poisoned me. It was nice to see they really did care about me and wanted me to be safe. With an hopeful heart, I stepped out of my room that morning and headed to have breakfast. The duo had barely began to have breakfast but the moment they saw me, they stood up to leave, leaving me all by myself.I tried to speak with them but neither of them seemed to want to listen to me. Immediately, I lost my appetite and stood up instead. Roman had tried to speak to me throughout that period but he was the last person I wanted to see. He had been the main reaso
