AUTHOR'S POV "Ma'am, what would you like to eat?" Jen repeated, causing Zeta to jump slightly. The incident is still fresh in her mind." Nothing." She replied. The thought of food made Zeta's stomach churn in a bad way. She was scared for her life, and food was the last thing on her mind.Damien was not to blame for not believing that his wife wanted her dead. She didn't have concrete evidence, and that was a huge accusation to level at someone."Ma'am..." Jen started, disrupting Zeta's thoughts, and she shook her head. She was not in the mood to argue.Jen studied Zeta. She looked a bit pale and slimmer than she was. She wanted to say more when she noticed the subtle shake of Damien's head."You can't skip dinner." Damien intervened. He knew she was reeling from the recovery, but she needed to eat."I will eat in the morning." She injected sharply. There was a pressing issue on the ground, and food wouldn't solve it.Alpha Damien sighed. "I understand how you must be feeling, but y
AUTHOR'S POVAt the crow of the roosters, Damien finally finished working. it was morning already. He yawned loudly, removed his glasses, rubbed his eyes, and proceeded to sip the almost cold coffee.He dragged his feet tiredly to his room, he needed to sleep. He had kept watch over Zeta when she fainted that if he didn't close his eyes now, he would be taken to the hospital.Zeta woke up at the sound of the door opening, but she pretended to still be asleep. Damien let out another big fat yawn, as he strode to the bed, dusted his feet, and climbed into bed. Not bothering to take a shower, he went out like a light.Zeta was unable to sleep, due to hunger pangs, and her tummy ached, so she decided to prepare a fast meal to eat. It was still early. Hopefully, she wouldn't bump into any of her rivals.This was her thought until she heard the sound of the television, which gave its hue illuminating the living room.She discovered a figure lying on the couch. She attempted to pass by quie
Chapter 21Zeta's pov"Ahh!" A yelp of surprise escaped my lips as I jolted awake, the cold icy sensation pulled me from my dreams.My body and bed were drenched in water. Confused, I stared at the figure standing in front of me holding a bucket."What the fuck Belinda!" I yelled, wiping water from my face."How dare you-"Shut up!" she cuts sharply, biting her bottom lip as she tried to hide her amusement."It's past eight o'clock and you're still in bed who's going to prepare the meals since your 'accident' you've become lazy" she snarled tossing the bucket on my lap.The way she said the 'accident' convinced me she knew it was no accident. How heartless could she possibly be, even if she got me out of the way Damien could never love a wretched soul like her.I ran my hand through my hair trying to drain out the cold water. A shiver steered down my spine as the chilling feeling washed over me."I'll be there in a minute" I said looking at my drenched clothes and sheets. The AC never
Author's pov"Jen, what are you doing here?" Damien asked as he stepped into the room."Alpha Damien" she greeted with a bow, keeping her head low to avoid eye contact."Where is Zeta?" he urged."She had left to work Alpha""I called her boss she isn't there" he said in a low growl stepping closer.Jen gulped hard fidgeting. "She must have... ran into heavy traffic, it's not quite long she... left" Jen startled looking any where but the Alpha's direction.He took her in vaguely aware she was hiding something. He scoured the room and saw a mug and then her phone."Why would she leave this?" he asked walking towards the phone."She must have forgotten you know she was in a hurry she had missed her alarm and maybe forgot to take her phone""Well it explains why she wasn't taking my calls I'll give it to her at the office""No!" Jen blurted rushing to his side.''I'm sure you have other things.... to do Alpha why worry about her phone I assure you... my lady is fine" Jen said feeling be
Chapter 24The drive to the office was quick, without my phone I looked out the window enjoying the view of the city. We arrived then I paid the driver then looked around as a safety measure before I stepped into the office.I could feel the usual buzz of people rushing around, phones ringing, and keyboards clacking. It was just another morning, the herb had really helped ease my headache and I was ready to dive into my tasks for the day. My boss spotted me as I walked in."Zeta, good morning," he greeted me with a warm smile. "Good morning sir, I am very sorry for coming in late" I apologized quickly."No no it's fine, I heard about your accident over the weekend. Are you feeling alright?"I nodded, appreciating his concern. "Thank you, sir. I'm fine, just a few bruises. Nothing serious. I'm ready to get back to work."His expression softened, and he placed a hand on my shoulder. "Zeta, accidents can be tough. You've been through a lot. How about taking a day or two off to rest and
He handed me a box, and I eagerly took it, my hands trembling with excitement.Carefully, I opened the box, revealing a beautiful bracelet nestled inside. It glistened under the moonlight, reflecting a rainbow of colors. I couldn't help but smile at the sight of it. "It's very pretty," I said, my voice filled with genuine delight. Damien beamed, clearly pleased with my reaction. "To match the necklace" he said kissing my forehead.Overwhelmed with emotions, I couldn't contain my happiness. I wrapped my arms around Damien, tears welling up in my eyes. I couldn't believe how lucky I was to have a guy like him in my life. Gratefulness flooded my heart, and I thanked him profusely for the thoughtful gift.At that moment, our lips met in a passionate kiss right there on the busy street. It was as if time stood still, and we were the only two people in the world. The warmth of his embrace and the taste of his lips brought a sense of euphoria that I hadn't experienced before. It was a kiss
Damien's povI woke up late in the morning with a strong urge to see Zeta before she headed off to work. I didn't like the way I walked out after the amazing day we had, we should have spent the night together.The sun was just starting to peek through the curtains as I made my way to her room. I approached her door then knocked slightly while turning the knob I noticed that it was locked, which struck me as strange. Usually, her door was open, inviting me in with open arms.I knocked on the door louder, my heart pounding in fear, why would she lock the door?After a few moments, I heard the click of the lock being undone. Zeta opened the door, and a wide smile spread across my face. We embraced tightly, savoring the warmth of each other's presence.But as I held her, my eyes wandered to her injured wrist. It was wrapped in a bandage, and concern filled my voice as I asked, "Zeta, what happened to your wrist?"She hesitated for a moment, a flicker of unease passing through her eyes.
Chapter 27 I sat on the edge of my bed, lost in my thoughts, contemplating the choices I had made. Should I have told Damien about the bracelet? Maybe I should have lied, claimed it wasn't with Belinda. But that small cut on my finger had given me away, revealing my secret. It was too late to take back my words now, and regret consumed me as I replayed the scene in my mind.I knew how Belinda could be, she was capable of anything if Damien told her about the bracelet I would be done for.I dragged myself out of my musings with a sigh I pushed myself off the bed and made my way to the bathroom. I was getting late.A refreshing bath was just what I needed to clear my mind and prepare for the day ahead.After getting dressed I hailed a cab shortly I arrived at work, a gray building that matched the dreary atmosphere that clouded my thoughts. Being surrounded by numbers and calculations, which usually provided a welcome distraction from my personal troubles. Today, however, even the mon
