"ACKH!!"Jack snapped back from his thoughts as he heard her gasp, and without wasting time, he rushed toward the stumbled Omega, and caught her in time. Right before she falls.HAP!“Careful!” He said, his voice filled with concern as he held her securely with one arm around her waist, and the other, supporting her back. Brianna, who caught off guard, held onto Jack for support, her hands instinctively resting on his shoulders as she watched her stomach in fear.Jack sensing her fear, and her trembling figure tries to sooth her, he instinctively says something such as, “Easy there,” and “You’re okay.” and anything to calm her and after ensuring that she was composed, just then Jack helped the Omega back to her feet.He gazed at her for a few moments before saying, “What happened? How did you trip here?” he asked, genuinely concerned as he glanced at her previous pathways to see something that might trip her.Brianna, recovering from the sudden scare, managed a sheepish smile. "I-I'm
At Mystique cafe.“Thank you for coming! Hope you enjoy the meals here!”CLANG!The bustling atmosphere of Mystique Cafe was now more livelier than ever since Jack's marriage’s announcement. The clattering of cutlery, the hum of conversations, and most importantly the aromatic fragrance of various things filled the air more strongly than before, and Daniel, as the current person in charge, and also the cafe manager, of course, smiled happily as he surveyed the lively scene.Who would expect that this haven cafe which is usually crowded, could be more crowded than before? It even needs some queue numbers like the one in the hospital!“Guess, the marriage things bring more profit for the cafe than a discount coupon. Well, I must admit that he should have listened to his father and gotten married soon. If it keeps going, this cafe will surely surpass one of his father's restaurants. It can even be the number one in Louvrey, and maybe… We can make other branches in West Louvrey or if pos
In Brianna’s roomDRAP! DRAP! DRAP!BRUK!“ARGHH!!!”Brianna slams her phone harshly to her bed as she drowns herself to the pillow. She couldn't help but feel very pissed off toward the Alpha. Her problem? What did he mean by a problem? Is there no better term to describe her child besides a problem?"I know that this is a problem, but couldn't he say something nicer to it?" Brianna mused, putting her head on pillows, as she carefully cradled her belly. Although she knows that the Alpha can be unpredictable sometimes, and she knows that he can be rude anytime, she is still very offended about it. She doesn't even understand why her wolf even feels so hurt right now."It might just be my hormones. A lot of people that were in 3 months always like this," Brianna mused, as she looked at Google for mood explanation. "I can just bear with him, at least until the wedding. We might not bump into each other much after this, and after I heal him, and he finds my rapist, the whole contract i
CKLEK!KRIET!!!“There, the door is already open. Just go inside it quickly before he gots home,” Brianna said, and the maid who was relieved immediately bowed her head.“Okay, Ms. Jones. I will be quick. Thank you very much,” she said before quickly going inside. The Omega sighed as she watched the maid leave quickly, and stumbled on some dusty desk.'I wonder what she left there to make her panic like that,' she mused, tilting her head slightly before turning her gaze to some bookcases. There were so many bookcases inside the room, and it was filled with books which means the Alpha is a reader type.‘But it's dusty, I wonder if he last read it during his teenage years,’ she mused, walking toward the bookcase, observing the books. Most of the books are just about business, and science quantum. The only fiction books are just some Shakespeare books like Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet…and… Wait, is that twilight over there?‘He’s reading twilight?’ the Omega muttered as she picked it. Feeli
—The day before the wedding—“Okay… the gown is now perfect.. and it definitely won’t trip the bride. It looks good too with the groom,” Joan muttered before looking at Brianna. “What do you think about it? Do you like it?” She asked.Brianna took another swirl, which was under Jack's silent watchful eyes, and feeling happy that it reached her expectation, the Omega nodded her head. “Yes, I like it so much. It’s beautiful. Even better than the previous one,” she said, placing her hands on her small bumps.It now even had pockets inside the dress behind the corset which was a great improvement because not only that it can protect the baby, but it can also make Brianna secretly touch it which was a new habit that she developed during her third months.“The detail is even more pretty, and I had nothing to say about it,” Brianna added, and Joan gave a relieved smile.“Glad that you like it so much, Ms. Jones. You’re very pretty and that’s why everyone's gown can fit you perfectly,” she sa
Jane Marisol feels her ears hot after hearing the staff revelation. Her Jack is taking a day off, and he will get a honeymoon?Bruk!!“Hey!!” Jane scowls as she is suddenly being held by security. How dare they suddenly hold her like this?Didn’t they have manners for ladies?“I’m sorry ma’am but I think you need to leave now,” the security said, dragging her away, and the staff whispered ‘thank you’ to them as he attended to other customers.“Leave? What do you mean by leave??” Jane screamed. “I still have some important business to attend with your boss and—”“Our staff here already says that our boss is currently on holiday,” one of the security said curtly. “Besides ma’am… aren’t you the one who claims to be the one he married the other day? How come you didn’t know what your fiance was doing right now? Are you lying and causing commotion in public?”He said, and Jane immediately scowled, in defeat as she yanked her hand, and chose to walk away. Not intending to answer them.“Stup
Jane Marisol couldn’t believe her luck, just a moment there she thinks that she is successful, and manages to get in by following Daniel to the sewer, now she’s being caught by the whole staff in the kitchen!“Let go of me now!!!! Or else, I will tell anyone about these secret passages!” She screams again as another staff tries to hold her down. “HEY!!!”Daniel, knowing he’s the one, who’s not careful in here, couldn’t help but sigh guiltily, as he turned to one of the nearby staff. “When did the security bring the police?” he asked, feeling frustrated.The staff checks his phone, and says, “They should be arriving 10 minutes from now, but it seems that they might be late because of traffic,” he says, and Daniel just, “Okay. make them come faster,” he said, and looked at his wallet to prepare some money.He must close the police mouth because reporters, or people.. might wonder how did she get in, and police must be on their side to help hide the secret passage.“I must prepare some m
After paying off the police and making sure that they shut their mouth about the secret passage, just then the Alpha dared to let out a relief breath.“At least they will shut their mouth although I know that Father will hear it as some of them work for him,” Jack mused. He even lost a lot of money because the police pester him which is not a surprise as they treat the rich like a golden egg goose.“Hey, Jack… I’m sorry… I didn’t intend to call the police at first, you know if you want… You can just cut off from my salary and—”“That’s alright, Daniel. Don’t worry about it, it’s not your entire fault after all.”“But I—”“You’re just doing your job here, Niel” Jack cutted him. “And I really appreciate it. You’ve already done your best to protect the cafe, and it’s my fault for not taking the Jane Marisol case seriously. I should have taken care from the start and now I will do it after seeing this day accident,”The Alpha said, his eyes slightly darkening, remembering how she called
Jack's father took a deep, shuddering breath, his tear-streaked face a stark contrast to the composed facade he usually wore. "It all started when I first met your mother," he began, his voice thick with emotion. "She was... she was perfect. The perfect mate, the perfect fate. I knew from the moment I laid eyes on her that she was the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with."Jack clenched his jaw, trying to push down the surge of emotion threatening to overwhelm him. "To the point, Father," he interjected, his voice steely with determination. "I don't need the sentimental details."His father nodded, wiping away his tears with a shaky hand. "Of course, Jack," he said, his voice more composed now. "After we were married, we were happy. Happier than I had ever been before. And when you came along, it was like... it was like all of my dreams had come true."Jack's heart clenched at the mention of his mother, a pang of longing shooting through him like a bolt of lightning. But he
Jack's hands tightened around the steering wheel as he approached the imposing gates of the Burkley household. It had been months since he had last set foot on the grounds, months since he had introduced Brianna to his family. And now, as he stared up at the sprawling mansion before him, he couldn't help but feel a sense of dread creeping over him.Parking his car in a secluded spot near the edge of the property, Jack took a moment to compose himself. He knew that confronting his father would not be easy, that it would dredge up painful memories and long-buried emotions. But he also knew that he couldn't continue living in the dark, that he needed answers—no matter how difficult they might be to hear.As he made his way towards the front door, Jack was greeted by the sight of an old servant waiting to receive him. The man's eyes widened in surprise at Jack's cold demeanor, clearly taken aback by the intensity of his anger."Master Jack," the servant stammered, bowing slightly. "I... I
As Brianna lay in her hospital bed, the events of the past few days weighed heavily on her mind. She tried to sleep, to escape from the turmoil that churned inside her, but sleep eluded her. Instead, she tossed and turned, her thoughts consumed by the darkness that threatened to engulf her.She couldn't shake the memory of Michael's taunts, his cruel laughter echoing in her ears. The realization that he had orchestrated the entire ordeal, that he had manipulated her into believing his lies, filled her with a sense of betrayal so profound it was almost suffocating. How could she have been so blind, so naive?And then, there was the truth—the truth about Jack's involvement, about the choices he had made that had led them to this point. It was a truth she wasn't sure she could bear, a truth that shattered the fragile illusion of love and trust she had built around him.A single tear slipped down her cheek as she lay in the darkness, her heart heavy with sorrow. She had wanted so desperat
The lighthouse door swung open, and there he was—Jack, her beacon of hope in the darkness. His voice carried a mixture of fear and relief as he called out to her, his presence flooding her with a sense of comfort she hadn't realized she'd been craving.But before Brianna could fully process Jack's arrival, Michael's sneer cut through the air like a knife. He tightened his grip on her arm, his voice dripping with contempt as he addressed Jack."So now Romeo is finally here, huh?" Michael scoffed, his eyes glittering with malice. "Well, that's classic. Never knew it would happen in real life too. And I never knew that I would be the villain. I always used to wish to be a Romeo."Jack huffed heavily, his chest heaving as he took in the scene before him. He had rushed up the stairs in a blur of desperation, fueled by the need to reach Brianna, to ensure her safety. Now, as he regained his composure, he stepped forward, his gaze fixed on Michael."Let go of her, Michael," Jack demanded, hi
As Jack stood outside, frustration gnawing at him, he heard the door open behind him. Turning, he saw Daniel emerging from the room, accompanied by Nina and a few others. Jack's brow furrowed in anticipation as he waited for Daniel to speak.Daniel approached Jack with a solemn expression, his gaze meeting Jack's with a sense of urgency. "Jack, we've made some progress," he began, his voice steady but grave. "Nina has confirmed that Sam and Michael have been seeking each other out a lot lately."Jack's frustration only deepened at the confirmation of his suspicions. "And what else did she say?" he pressed, his voice tight with tension.Daniel hesitated for a moment before continuing. "Nina didn't know the motive behind their meetings, but I believe it's clear that Sam was involved in this to elevate Nina's career by assisting Michael," he explained, his tone laced with conviction. "The timing of Brianna's disappearance and Nina's sudden rise to prominence is too much of a coincidence.
As Brianna sat sandwiched between Michael and Sam in the jeep, her heart pounded with fear and anger. She couldn't believe that Sam, the man who had been a fatherly figure to her, was involved in this betrayal. She shot him a glare, her eyes filled with accusation and disbelief."What are you doing here, Sam?" she demanded, her voice laced with anger. "And why are you doing this to me?"Sam lowered his head, unable to meet Brianna's gaze. The weight of his betrayal hung heavily upon him, his heart heavy with regret. But before he could respond, Michael's chilling voice cut through the tense silence."Sam is here because he knows where his loyalties lie," Michael replied, his tone cold and unforgiving. "And you, Brianna, are simply collateral in our plans."Brianna's eyes widened in shock at Michael's callous words. She couldn't believe that he saw her as nothing more than a pawn in his twisted game. Anger bubbled within her, but she suppressed it, knowing that any outward defiance wou
Jack stood amidst the chaos, his frustration mounting as he surveyed the scene before him. The police officers worked diligently, examining every inch of the room for clues to unravel the mystery of the Fosters' escape.His eyes fixated on the gaping hole in the wall, a knot forming in his stomach as he tried to comprehend how the Fosters had managed to pull off such a daring escape."How in the hell did they–" Jack began, his voice trailing off as he struggled to find the words to articulate his frustration.DRAP! DRAP! DRAP!"We found one of the Foster bodies! It lies not far from the ruins!"The news only served to deepen Jack's frustration as he watched the officers work tirelessly to retrieve the fallen body.His gaze shifted to an object lying nearby, the very object that had been used to explode the wall. Jack scowled as he studied it, unable to fathom how the Fosters had acquired such a device, let alone how they had managed to keep it hidden from prying eyes."Why didn't we k
Jack's fury erupted like a tempest within the interrogation room, his rage boiling over at the sight of Derek Foster, the man who had caused so much pain and suffering. With a primal roar of anger, Jack slammed his fist against the table, the force of his blow sending a resounding crack reverberating through the room. "How could you?" Jack seethed, his voice filled with a potent mixture of disbelief and contempt. "How could you do that to her?" Derek recoiled in terror, his eyes wide with fear as he cowered against the bed. "I-I didn't mean to—" he stammered, his voice trembling with fear. But Jack's rage was unrelenting, his eyes burning with a fierce intensity as he advanced on Derek, his every step echoing like thunder in the cramped confines of the room. "You didn't mean to?" he spat, his voice dripping with scorn. "You raped her, Derek. You violated her trust, her body, her very soul. And for what? To satisfy your own sick desires?" Sophia, Daniel, and the surrounding police o
As the car rumbled down the dimly lit streets, Daniel's focus was unwavering, his mind already anticipating the upcoming interrogation. Sophia sat beside him, her gaze drifting between the passing scenery and her companions, a faint furrow marring her brow.Sophia's voice broke the silence, her tone hesitant yet concerned. "Do you think it's wise to leave Brianna and Celicia alone?" she asked, her eyes flicking towards Jack in the rearview mirror. "Couldn't they come with us? Maybe they could wait in the reception area while we conduct the interrogation."Daniel glanced at Jack, waiting for his response, before turning back to Sophia. "It's too risky," he replied evenly, his tone serious. "We can't afford to compromise their safety, especially considering the volatile nature of our situation."Sophia nodded in understanding, though a flicker of worry danced in her eyes. "I suppose you're right," she conceded, her voice tinged with reluctance. "I just can't shake this feeling of unease
