In annoyance, I watched patiently as two of my servants dragged her out of my room. “ Is there any problem with Alpha”. I heard Zane's voice and I turned my back instantly. “No problem”. I uttered and Zane stepped out of the room. “Who the hell could have stolen this key”. I whispered. There was no way Jason would have stolen them without anyone knowing. The house was surrounded by the best security guards. I signed a bit before taking a few steps to where a picture frame was placed on the walls. I had always thought this day would come so I had backups. I raised the picture frame with my right hand and shook my other hand into a little hole in the wall. With hesitation, I pulled out a small rusty box from the hole in the wall and opened it gently. Luckily enough, I had hidden the rest of the keys here because I suspected Jason would come for the keys. I squeezed them tightly in my hands and left for Dad's old library. As soon as I reached the room, I headed straight to the pile
“I warned you about Tyler's man Karen, but you wouldn't listen”. Lisa said as she sat on a sofa next to Karen. “I never thought it would be this serious”. Karen responded softly as she kept her gaze on the floor. Her eyes were now wet as tears threatened to drop down from her latches. “No matter how much you try to hide from Tyler, there's no way he wouldn't find you.”. Lisa uttered. “Unless”, she continued. “You leave this place completely”. Karen kept her eyes shut for a while and when she opened them, tears had already started dropping down from her cheeks. There was no way she could leave without her mom. Firstly, she needed to apologize to Emily for everything she had done in the past. And secondly, Tyler's mom has to learn a lesson for treating her badly because of her past relationship with her dad. “Hey, are you okay?”. Lisa questioned softly as she pressed her body against Karen's body. “Whatever you decide, just let me know okay?”. She said and when Karen nodded her
“You called for me Dad”. Talia uttered as she sat on a sofa, next to her mom. Mr Raymond cleared his throat for a while before he began to speak. “Your mom and I had decided to get you engaged with Jackson. Your marriage will be held in a few weeks from now”.Talia arched her brows, surprised by her father's words. She stood to her feet instantly and drew closer to him. She remained speechless for a while and when she finally found her voice, she pleaded with her dad. “Dad, please I'm in love with someone else”. She replied, her words dripping with desperation.“Please give me some time to bring him here to meet you and mother. He's a good person, and will prove worthy of your approval, I promise.”Mr Raymond squeezed his hands tightly with hers and smiled at her warmly. “You know we love you too much Natalia, and we can't have you leaving us once more. Besides, it’s time you take your rightful position as the CEO of the company”. Talia, hearing these words, released her hands fro
AUTHOR'S POV. “Miss, do you need anything or I should…” “Don't worry about that, I'm waiting for someone”. Mia cuts the waiter off before he can complete his statement.She glanced at wrist watch for a moment before taking a deep breath. “Please Zane”. She whispered silently. Even after Zane suggested that they shouldn't see anymore, Mia found it very hard to stop calling or texting him. She wanted to hear more from him.Zane couldn't just end their friendship so quickly. She thought something made him do so, something he never wanted her to know about. After a few minutes, she picked up her phone and dialed Zane's number a second time but still, he never answered. Mai covered her face with her palms and lowered her head to the floor. It's been six hours now and Zane hasn't come to see her. In no time, she felt a tear drop down from her eyes. And she wiped them off instantly. Mia's gaze remained on the floor and she couldn't bear it anymore, everything Zane had put her through,

EMILY'S POV. I sat silently in Christian's car, I just couldn't help thinking why he kept staring at me every second. I turned my gaze to the window and glanced outside the main road for a moment. “What's wrong Emily, you don't feel comfortable?.” He questioned and I turned to him. “I'm fine”. I uttered and he held my hands with his other hand.” We're here already.”Christian halted and when I tried to climb out of the car, he walked towards the door and opened it wide for me. A smile crept on my face immediately as I stepped out and I tried to maintain my composure. Gosh, how I love this man so badly! After a few steps, we reached our main destination, a beautiful restaurant and bar that had fountains and statues within its surroundings. “This is beautiful,” I whispered and it made Christian smirk. I looked around for a while and when I noticed the place was empty, I turned my gaze back to Christian instantly, “I think this place is closed for today”. My words made Christian sm
EMILY'S POV.“She's alright now Christian,” I said softly and he heaved deeply. “Thank you so much love”. Christian responded and I smiled warmly.“It's nothing, Mia's just having a hard time and I think she needs some time alone”. I uttered and Christian nodded his head twice. “Yeah, yeah!, let's do that. We should let her be for a while.”And with that, we both turned to leave, but Blake didn't, he stayed behind and relaxed in a seat next to Mai. “Hey, Christian,” I called out, making him stop on his track and turn to me. “I'll be going to the mall tomorrow to get some stuff for Lilith”. “No problem”. He responded and as I turned to leave for my room, he grabbed my hands tightly. “Please stay with me tonight”?I heard his sweet and calm voice. “but I …”. Before I could complete my statement, he pulled me closer himself and hugged me so tight. “Please love.” His voice was tempting and I couldn't just resist it. “Alright,” I said, and he smiled at me, his smile made me feel butte
TYLER'S POV.I sat down on warm and Sandy soil across the ocean and let out a deep breath. Coming here was the best option. I just needed to be settled and avoid anything that would make me think. I buried my legs on the ground and watched the sunset. It was so amazing and for the first time in the past few days, I smiled. It was getting dark already but still, I just couldn't go back home. It felt so nice and calm here.My phone rang out and I reached out for it in my pocket. As I turned it on, I spotted Zane's number dancing on the screen. I picked up the phone immediately and began to speak. “Is there a problem?.” “Your mother is back, Alpha,” Zane reported. “I'll be home in a few hours,” I responded and ended the call instantly. Mom had been acting strange before she left and I was bent on asking her about it. The weather was already signalling that it was about to rain so I stood up and walked towards where I parked my car. I climbed in, turned on the engine, and drove bac
