HeartbreakApril had gone away when the meeting started and returned when she got a signal from her godfather that the meeting was ending. She had dashed into the room to see Matthew leaving on screen.“I have not seen you in a while, I have been trying to meet you for a while now,” she said, but was met with silence. This made the rest in the room feel awkward. April had been traveling and had just returned. Many guessed that she did not know that Matthew was already bound to a mate.This made many very embarrassed.“I wonder if you could leave instructions to your home allowing me to come over,” she asked with a slightly shy expression. When Matthew heard what she said he looked at her blankly. He did not understand why this woman would not give up. She was stubborn but it did not look as cute as when his Emerald did it. “Why should I allow you to visit me? If I remember correctly, your father is the kind to dote on you and would lose his mind if you died. My mate has a temper. If
The Harts In TroubleOn the other side of the city, Andrew Woods coughed a mouthful of blood as he sat up from a bathtub mid bath. He could barely breathe.He tumbled and fell so hard that the sound made it his way out of the room.Several of his men were around him trying to get him out of the tub when they saw him vomit blood. “Young Master!” someone screamed when they saw the blood and he was hurriedly carried to the bedroom. He seemed to be shivering as though having a fever, so they placed a heavy blanket on him. An Elderly woman rushed out and came to his side. When she saw the blotches of blood, she yelped slightly.“What is happening? Why is he bleeding?” she asked. But before she could get a response, an older woman hurried over.“Why all the commotion?” She scolded everyone in the room. But when she saw Andrew on the bed, she panicked. She noticed his pale face and the blood on the sheets and asked what happened.“The young master was bathing for quite a while, so I called
A werewolf bloodlineSarah froze under everyone’s stare.“Who modified the spell?” Cassidy asked and everyone looked around.“Jack was in charge of setting up the ceremony,” someone said.“Call him over!” Cassidy ordered and Jack was soon brought in. From the look on his face, it was sure that he was confused as to why he was there. Jack’s mother hurriedly went to his side, but was quickly stopped by her husband. His mother’s reaction made Jack understand that something was wrong.“Clan head,” Jack greeted.“Were you the one in charge of the ceremony to bind the Meadow young master, Andrew, to Emerald?” Cassidy asked and he nodded at first then paused.“Wait, Bind her to him? But, Emerald is married,” he said and many people sucked in a breath.“You know this?” Cassidy asked.“Yes, Sarah and I researched her and we received information that she is married,” Jack explained.“Then why did you prepare a ceremony to bind her to a mate if you knew she was married?” Cassidy asked and Jack
Drama at workMatthew left her to rest while he saw the rest off.For the rest of the day, she did not leave her room as she was working. She finished her work early enough and decided to rest for a bit, when Matthew knocked on her door.“Baby?” he called and her eyes almost popped from her sockets.“What did you call me?” she asked as he walked into the room.“I already said you are my wife. Of course I can call you this,” he said and she blinked in confusion. “What wife? What if someone hears and talks?” she asked incredulously.“I have decided that I will try hard to stay sane this month. To do this, I will do what I please. This way, I will get less angry and we will not be fighting every moment. Just get used to it,” he said and approached the chair by the corner to sit down.“We will need to live together for up to two months, we need to come to an agreement that will help me calm down,” he said.“What about what I said? I told you it could get leaked if you start calling me we
Injured.The next moment, the head of HR matched into their department with security.“Her. Throw her out!” the bald man said, pointing at Emerald.The security walked her way and asked her to leave.“Why?” Emerald asked.“You dare ask why?” the Head of HR, Mr. Vincent asked. One could tell he was angry from the veins running up his scalp.“Of course,” Emerald asked.“You are fired!” he said.“HR has the right to fire my employee?” The person who had spoken this time was Emerald’s boss.“Yes. If they cause trouble for the company,” he said and the security started moving Emerald’s things. Emerald stood aside as she called the police.“Hurry up with her things!” The head of HR, Dan Hamilton scolded the guards, which irritated them.“There is no need to rush. I have already called the police,” Emerald said.“What for?” Dan scoffed.“For wrongful and forceful termination. They are only here to be witnesses for when I sue the company. I figured, the police are good witnesses.” Emerald sa
The Boss’ wifeMatthew paused when his secretary said this. “Is it in Cent Magazine?” Matthew asked and his secretary nodded.“Who was injured?” he asked and his assistant was taken aback. Matthew had a feeling that Emerald was the one injured. His secretary rushed over that very moment.“The police have arrested the head of HR, Mr. Hamilton. They say he attacked an employee from the magazine and she is being taken to the hospital at this very moment,” his head secretary, Cynthia said.“Both of you, Come with me. The rest stay back and deal with this matter,” he ordered and entered the elevator. Matthew’s secretaries, Levi and Cynthia, glanced at each other. The boss was angry and something told them it had nothing to do with the arrest done. They glanced at each other and looked away.They had never seen the boss this angry. They knew best to obey when he was this pissed. They obeyed and quietly went down with him. Levi got in the driver’s seat and Cynthia opened the door for him t
A trap long in the Making.“Yes, why?” Mark answered on the other end of the Phone.“A shareholder’s son, Andrew Woods just threatened my wife while she was at his hospital. It seems you shareholders hold the life of your patients in your hands,” Matthew said and Mark sat up.“Is your wife okay?” he asked.“She is fine. Please deal with this, or tell me if it is unsafe so I can move her to another hospital,” he said. The doctor said was sweating. He could not believe they had gotten into this kind of mess.“Mr Reeves please do not misunderstand,” Andrew started to explain. Matthew Reeves was someone his father and grandfather wanted to strike a deal with. If he messed this up, he was finished. “Why is Mr Woods still here?” Matthew asked coldly and Andrew could only leave. He would have to tell his father about this to find out what to do. His only hope was that Matthew Reeves did not attack his family in anger.“Then, Emerald, I will see you later,” he said and left quickly.“Stil
Going home.While his secretary, Cynthia handled the procedures, He and Emerald waited. He had been watching her all day. A little while into noon she had eaten and gone to sleep. He was grateful that she was not feeling much pain. She at this moment had woken up and was sipping on some ice tea while she scrolled through her phone."Don’t scroll too long, Emerald," Matthew murmured, his voice low and full of concern. "You will hurt your eyes. Rest a bit, Cynthia should be done soon."Emerald managed a weak smile, her eyes finally looking his way as he brought over her jacket to help her wear it."I am only looking, how will it hurt my eyes? You sound like a mother," she muttered.Matthew raised his brows, a soft smile adorning his face as he said, "You really are bad at taking care of yourself. You don’t even know it will hurt your eyes, or you don't even care. You sound like a child"Emerald folded her arms and harrumphed as she ignored him and kept scrolling despite his previous w
