Alpha's Regret 035
Stephanie and two of her most trusted and reliable subordinates at the office arrived at the long-awaited business meeting. Through the large windows of the cafe where they had gone for breakfast, Stephanie admired the environment; she could not deny how serene and beautiful it was everywhere. She was so engrossed in talking to her friends while appreciating her surroundings that she did not notice the lone figure sitting a few tables away from her and whose eyes had been fixed on her since she walked into the cafe. His eyes never left her face for once and he had no intent on leaving even though he was done with his food and drink and needed to head back to his hotel room because he had to go through his briefs for the last time before his scheduled meeting which would be taking place in an hour.He watched as she laughed, and made silly faces at her companions. She looked healthy, happy, and more sophisticated than he remembered. Her innocence was gone, replaced by a harder and ster

Alpha Damien snares as he watched his ex-wife do her thing. He had only known her to be submissive but what he was witnessing now was much more than he had thought she would ever be. She now had a depth to her and from the way she spoke and how the president of the Tura beauty company talked to her and addressed her, he was sure she was not just here as her company's secretary, she was much more and he could bet his last dime that she held a high position in the Hanks enterprise. He had gone through the competitor's list and found the name of her company. He had heard a lot about them even though he had never met the owner. He wondered how she had achieved so much since she ran out of the pack because he was sure she had no dime to her name, she was an orphan his father had taken in and insisted he mated her.Stephanie on the other hand was feeling very nervous, and winning this project was very important to her and her father. Hence the reason why she poured her heart and soul into m

“Thank you, Mr Hunter, it is nice doing business with you.” Stephanie smiled gracefully as she left the room. She met up with her assistants on the ground floor of the building.“Congratulations, you did it.” One of them said as soon as they saw her.“Congratulations.” The other one echoed and they all shared a group hug.“I feel so elated,” Stephanie said as they walked out of the building. “I thought that I would not pull through, I even got scared when I noticed I was the only woman in the meeting.“I was sure you would do exceptionally well today. You are intelligent and hardworking and you put everything you had into the project. If anyone deserves to win, then it's you”“Yes, I did put in the work,” Stephanie says with a whimper. She had never worked so hard to bring any project to life as she did with this one and it totally paid off well. “You guys also helped me achieve this today and I am indebted to you two. Also, we will celebrate our success at the office when we return.”

“Are you going to the office today Mom?” Kayla asked as she shoved a spoonful of cereal into her mouth. “Yes dear, it's Wednesday everyone goes to work on weekdays and sometimes on weekends too. "Stephanie replied “Not everyone, my friend Jasmine said her mom is a housewife and stays at home every day” Kayla insists.“You are correct, not everyone works in an office like I do, some are stay-at-home parents so they can take care of their kids by themselves. It's also a difficult work to do”Kayla's face squeezed into a frown showing her confusion. The look of innocence tugged at her mom's heart which made her smile.“I don't understand, how is taking care of your children work?” Kayla asked.“You have a nanny, don't you?Kayla nods to her mother's question“Your nanny's job is to take care of you and she is paid to do it. But some mothers cannot afford to pay nannies while some decide to do it themselves and it's also their choice to be a stay-at-home mom. It does not make any mother

“You look beautiful” Someone whispered into Stephanie's ears. Her breath hitches and she tried to turn but his hands touched her waist stopping her.“Did you think you could get rid of me so easily?” He taunts her. His eyes blazing with unreadable emotions.“What are you doing here, Damien? Are you stalking me now?” She poked at him. She was well aware of his fragile ego and wanted to prick at it.“What if I were, what are you going to do about it” He smirked and then took a sip of his Champagne all the while his eyes never left her face.“You are incorrigible, I would leave you alone now while I see my guests,” she says dismissively and starts to move away from him.“Our son says hello.” He muttered under his breathStephanie froze at his words “Are you trying to be funny, 'cause you are not.” she “You abandoned your newborn son and you are trying to act righteous, you are despicable. I guess Ava was right about you after all.” Alpha Damien screeched at her Stephanie could feel he

Stephanie stood at the podium, lost for words. She had not in her wildest dreams expected to be honored by her father in such a huge way. She had also not expected to see Alpha Damien again. She glanced at the people gathered and waited for the clapping to die down.“I am short of words” She began. “My father just literally took away my breath and made me speechless in just one stroke.” A ripple of light laughter erupted which made her smile and calmed her nerves.“I want to thank every one of you for honouring our invitation and attending the gathering tonight, and most importantly sharing in our joy. I also want to thank my father, Mr. Hanks” She stopped talking and looked at her father, his eyes were wet and Stephanie gave him a smile before continuing. My father's support and belief in me are the reasons that I have excelled in the world of business. His guidance and patience have contributed to making me who I am today. I also want to thank Mrs Charlotte, she took me in at the t

An overnight success if I must say. Imagine becoming a CEO and heir in just one night. Now tell me, how did you arrive at the part where Mr. Hank, one of the wealthiest men in the world, became your father? It's a mystery I would love to unravel.” He still had a smug look on his face while he waited for her to answer.“It's none of your business, Alpha Damien, you seem to have a lot of time on your hands looking for cheap gossip,” Stephanie said, hoping to annoy him the way he was ruffling her feathers bu
