A few days later has passed and Brianna’s belly becomes more visible each day. Today, Brianna didn’t do anything as Jack prevented her from going out since her parents' accident, and that Brianna wants to go out anyway.But now, Brianna starting to get sick, and very bored especially now that the Alpha stay on the house. He even brought both of his cafe and company work to the house which kinda surprising considering the Alpha never did that before.Now that Brianna thought about it, she’s kinda feel that her relationship with Jack like real rather than contract like,How come a contract marriage can be this sweet? Tak!“Here’s your fruits, you better finish it now. Don’t hide it like last time,” Jack said, giving her bowl of dice fruits which one of Dr. Lash diet. Brianna stared at the bowl and Jack alternately, thinking when did the Alpha cut this, or even brought the fruits considering he always home, but he decide to not ask him and take it.“Thanks,” she said before taking one
After hours of trying, Jack finally managed to finish the Omega nest. Of course with Daniel little help through the phone.Satisfied with his works, Jack look at the Omega nest one more time before stood up and walk to the living room***In the living room, he found her lying asleep with Elly beneath her. Jack chuckles at the sight silently, trying to remind himself that the Omega is still a wolf despite there’s a big dog above her.He ponders a few sec thinking if he should just let her sleep for a few moments or just wake her up and finally, he decides to wake her because today, he will be very busy in the cafe remembering that he needs to take care of the gerbera.“Hey, wake up,” Jack gently shakes her, and shoo Elly away from her. Brianna, feeling the warmth of the dog, vanished and opened her eyes, and her hazy one met with Jack’s.“Your nest is already finished,” Jack whispered, kinda feeling some weird feeling on his chest when seeing her gaze which happens oftenly now. “So,
The Omega began to talk more about her strict life with the parents to the Alpha and for the first time in her life, she felt a relief that she never felt back during her glamor days.It was the kind of relief that you can only get from someone you trust, and Brianna, never felt it from anyone. Not even from her trustable ballet tutor, Sam Smith.“But Brianna,” Jack stopped her. “If your parents keep being strict to you like that, and that they even do that during your career life… Why didn’t you try to get away from them? Don't you like to have money or something?”Brianna sighed. “I already thought about that before. Even Celicia says the same things too but…” Brianna bites her lips. “It’s hard for me to do so. I just… can’t do that to them.”“It’s not like I don’t want to be free or something,” the Omega continued, “But it's just that no matter what I still want to see my father. Although I’m sick with my stepmother, my father… I used to be a kind person. I experienced it back whe
Brianna now feels her heart thumping crazily. After hours of talking and sharing a piece of their life both of them fell asleep, and Brianna now found herself trapped between the Alpha’s arms. And from how crazy the scent is, she could feel that she must have been trapped in this position for at least an hour.Or maybe, two.“How to get away from here,” she mused, trying to release herself from his tight grasp but failed miserably as he will reach for her again.After a few more attempts the Omega finally gave up as she became more stuck. In a position that she never could imagine. A position that definitely made the Alpha crazy or maybe didn’t want to see her for weeks if only he knew, which should happen when he’s awake.The Omega sighed as she looked at the Alpha’s flawless face. Studying his face. Now that he’s asleep she can see how the Alpha actually looks so innocent. Very different from his usual unpredictable self that sometimes annoys her.Not to mention that his scent wa
Both of them paused as they figured who was standing in front of Jack’s door. The person that Jack feel was having an evil aura that full of bad deeds, but the reality, the person in front of him was nothing more but a Beta middle aged man that had a concern expression. He looks frail and harmless as he peeked inside, and says, “Excuse me… Is Brianna here?” the man asked.Jack paused as he studied the man appearance but soon he’s on guard again as he realize that the stranger was mentionings Brianna’s name.Determined to do the first plan, Jack ready to give her a code to run, but before it could start… The Omega unexpectedly push him away and hug the man!“Mr. SMITH!!!!” Brianna says, making Jack completely dumbfounded. What the…The frail man, who was being hug at first held a questionable expression but as soon as he look at Brianna’s face and notice her, the man immediately wear a huge smile and hug her back.“Brianna!!!” The man says as he hugged her back tightly. He swiftly sp
After another round of question, Jack finally agree and decide to end the question because the Omega sour face but even so,Jack didn’t think about lowering his guard because the negative scent was still lingering and hasn’t reduced yet.Either if it was because the whoever that person is still wandering outside, orSam is lying and hiding his true intention.“So Jack,” Sam coughs as he wipes his sweat of distress because of the Alpha's numerous questions. “How did you meet Brianna? If I remember right, you never met her nor Brianna ever mentioned you.”“Well, we were met,” Jack paused as he saw Brianna in her own worry code.Jack looked at her for a sec as he didn’t understand and decided to focus on reading her mind and understand that she wants him to say school.“We met in school. We actually date but in secret as it’s prohibited by her parents. You know about how strict her parents are,” Jack answered, earning two secret thumbs from Brianna.Why did she do that anyway? All he did
Sam Smith shakes his head as he anxiously looks at his back, making sure that no one is following him, especially the Alpha. He was first coming here with his old avanza car, which was not branded or even eyecatching by hoping that the Alpha didn’t throw a glance at it despite his warning.But now after seeing the Alpha in real life, and how he really had the killing aura like what the rumor says… Sam rethink his decision about using his car, and end up left in on the bust and took it tomorrow morning.After a long walk, and even using a random taxi and bus, Sam finally can let out a relief as he has already arrived at his safe place: The Reverie Entertainment a.k.a the ballet agency. Upon reaching the building, he throws a casting smile to the receptionist before walking straight to the lift, which will immediately send him to his ballet studio. After he had already arrived, he walked to the room. Expecting the person that he needed to give reports already there, but unexpectedly he
Brianna was shifted during her meal as she thought about her meeting with Sam. She doesn’t know why but she’s a bit anxious right now.Somehow her gut says that no matter how good their meet today is, she can feel that there’s something different about Sam. It’s like… Her coach was hiding something from her and whatever it is, it’s not a good one.As Brianna continues to hold her stomach in distress, meanwhile Jack, who sat across from hee sees her turmoil, and it’s worrying him because Brianna keeps clenching her stomach.“Hey, what’s wrong,” Jack finally asked, looking at her belly. “Is your stomach hurt right now? Are you having cramps? Do you want to see my uncl–”“Nah, it’s nothing,” Brianna smiled. “I don’t have any cramps, I just… thinking about something.”Jack frowned. “Thinking about something…are you, perhaps still thinking about Sam?” He asked, and Brianna stopped clutching her stomach which confirmed his suspicion.Jack sighed as he slicked his hair back and spun a mouth
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
