Daniel frowns as he just straightens his back.What the Omega f*ck is wrong with her?“Hey, are you having trouble with my whining?” Daniel asked straightforwardly to the seemingly nonchalant Jane, and getting no response, he decided to pursue the matter further.“Hey, are you—”“Just shut your mouth and continue to work,” Jane said, as she threw her last batch of folded paper. “And about before, I only tell the truth to make you work harder. Don’t take it to heart anyway unless you never deal with your cafe hardwork. Stupid Alpha.”Jane muttered slowly in the end, and Daniel’s ears immediately went red when hearing that and just as he was about to give her thousands of lectures, Jack already put his hand on the shorter Alpha’s shoulder, and lightly shook his head indicating, “No, don’t do anything reckless. Just let her be and wait until we don’t need her.”And Daniel has no choice but to scoff harshly as he tries to calm himself and focus back on his work although he still hates the
Jack looked around as he tried to find Brianna. Has she already arrived in that alley?“She was really fast despite her pregnant condition. Guess I’m just taking it too seriously. There’s nothing to worry about," Jack mused. He must have looked so stupid now for worrying with no reason.“But it will look weird if I suddenly go back with an empty hand. And it’s not like I had a strong reason why I was out here because considering the situation, they should have known that I’m here because of her…Should I just wait here?” he mused, catching a glimpse of the Omega, who seems to have a hard time lifting the trash bag before she succeeds and smiles.Now he should really try to take a light on her situation as the Omega seems to be independent.“I guess, I didn’t need to do that. I might end up making myself more stupid if I do that,” he mused, as he turned around, retreating to leave the location.However, just as he took a few steps… The Alpha suddenly felt something sting in his neck an
Outside the cafe, Brianna was not anxiously walking as she kept looking at her behind. Making sure that no one is following her, especially the Alpha.“Ugh… Why don't I be honest with him or something? I mean… I already told him that he’s my friend… what if he found out if I met him and realized that he’s not? I’m so doomed..” Brianna mused, feeling regret to lie to the Alpha about going to the convenience store. Why did she lie about it and even say that it’s a girl thing anyway?!Feeling more guilty, Brianna decides to really go to the convenience store. After all, it would be weird if she came back empty handed, right? If she even comes back with empty hands, she should at least know what she wants to buy from there.“Tsk.. What something girly or Omega do that a male Alpha shouldn’t know or uncomfortable…A sanitary towel?” Brianna mused, feeling more like a fool remembering that she’s pregnant.What should she find there, really?When Brianna opened the convenience store the be
Jack now furrowed his brow as he waited for the Omega in his black mercedez.One hour… two hours… already passed since Omega said that she needed to go, and even Daniel already went home and looked rushed.“Huh.. Should I try to call her instead?” The Alpha looks at his unread message for Brianna asking if she’s already done looking for the thing or not. “But she already says that it might take her a long time to find it… why didn’t I ask her where the convenience store that she goes to is?” He mused, before looking at the sky as he noticed that the first snow just fell in the blank starless sky.The day has already changed and until now she hasn’t come back!“Where are you, Brianna…” he mused, huffing slightly as he grew concerned. It’s not like he could call the police or something because she’s just 2 hours missing and not 24 hours.Feeling himself grow crazier and increasingly worried remembering her condition, Jack decides to distract himself by reading the information that is p
Brianna now waits anxiously for the result with Michael beside her in the waiting room. She’s now back lying to Jack and this time by saying that she craved for a donut and made him go away from the cafe, before she secretly went out of the cafe, leaving Jane and Daniel that busy giggling to each other.“You must be very nervous, huh?” Michael laughs, nudging her shoulder which she immediately glares at.“Don’t touch me. We’re not on good terms because of your actions and no. I’m not nervous, especially to someone like you,” Brianna said, before sitting further from him and making a boundary and Michael just ignored her as he played with his phone.After another time passed, and a nurse kept passing by and one of them was kind enough to bring her some cup of chocolate because she must have looked both very tense and cold, finally a medic staff opened the door bringing something like a map.He adjusted his thick glass as he looked at the map, and Brianna almost had a heart attack beca
Brianna now walks out from the car just like a ghost. After the whole accident happened…An accident where she once again lost something, she was now finally out from the grasp of the person who took everything from her.“There, we have finally arrived. Don’t put on a sad face. We were only apart for a while. My magic is to fix your clothes, doesn't it?” Michael said, huffing his hand as if it’s like a pistol.Well sure, yes. It’s fixing her clothes but not fixing the harm beneath it.“Yes, it is. Thank you for your help…Michael,” she reluctantly said but did it as she was aware that Michael is her Alpha and also her baby father so… it’s better to obey him.“Good, good,” he said, laughing as if her tears were nothing. Is this how her life will be going after this?After being born in a very poor but warm family, she must have lost everything and grew up as a dairy cow and got her innocent rip forcefully for her and now… she must bear consequence and be with a man that ruined everythin
Brak!Brianna is now crying hard as soon as she arrives at the hospital.Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack..JackJack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack..JackJack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack..JackJack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack..JackJack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack…Jack and…JACK.That’s all she could think of right now as soon as she arrived at the hospital.“Excuse me, do you know where Jack Nicholas Burkley is right now?” She asked, approaching the receptionist. The receptionist paused as she checked the data document of the patient on her computer before she finally nodded. “Yes, he was currently with Dr. Lash now. He was under treatment and first aid with them in the emergency room. May I know what your re
Hours later, after being knocked off… Brianna is now fully awake on her hospital bed and there’s a nurse that is currently adjusting her iv now.“Oh, you’re finally awake again,” she said giving her a polite smile, and Brianna just throw her a hazy looks as she back to munching her glucose that stuck on her mouth for Goddess long knows how much hours it’s already stay there.“You have been asleep for 1 day, so… your nourishment was through this iv as you need it, especially the little one,” she said, meaning that it’s for her baby. “Anyway after you finish munching that glucose candy, I suggest you move and eat real food after this. Your body can’t survive if you only munch on candy the whole time.”"Okay," Brianna said curtly, her attention diverted from the nurse's advice to the empty bed beside her. A tinge of worry crept into her voice as she asked, "Anyway… Where is Jack? Why is his bed empty?"The nurse, with a polite smile, reassured her, "Oh, he's just outside. Don't worry, he
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
