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
Old Madam Reeves Matthew and Emerald woke up to his grandmother, Old Madam Reeves sitting in the living room. The old woman had been traveling for a long while. It was normal for her to be gone for up to a year and show up. The first to come down stairs was Emerald, when she walked down to see the older woman, she froze. Old Madam Reeves on the other hand raised a brow as her eyes widened when she saw Emerald. Emerald was dressed too casually to be a staff of a guest and she knew that her grandson did not let people on the second floor of his home. “And who might you be, dear?” the old woman asked and Emerald tried to find her voice. It was not the butler beside the old woman or the staff’s respectful demeanor that told her that this woman was important, something about this old woman felt like she was staring at Matthew . Instinct told her they were related. “I am Emerald, Emerald Jackson,” she answered and the old woman let out a smile and beckoned to Emerald to come clo
To offend a celebrityAs she reached her bedroom, Nina closed the door behind her and let out a heavy sigh. She glanced at her phone, which had been left on the bed and couldn’t help but feel a twinge of resentment towards Emerald. If only her cousin hadn’t caused so much trouble in the past, maybe she would have long been married and would not have to worry about offending the Woods.Nina shook her head, pushing those thoughts aside. She sat on her bed and did not pick her phone. Even though she promised she would call him, she knew not to call. Obviously she did not want her family to go bankrupt, but she did not want to lose her marriage too. So she sat and waited.Meanwhile, downstairs, the Jackson family remained in the living room, the tension was like a heavy blanket, at least for the two women. Rodney, on the other hand, had finally calmed down, it was as if the money was already on its way. He took a sip of juice while he sat to relax without care.Annie, Jasmine's manager, s
