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
“Now, tell me, Brianna Jones… Are you really loving my only nephew, Jack Nicholas Burkley? Or maybe…You just marry him because you’re a scumbag Omega wolf that knew that he was the only Burkley Heir and wanted him only for money with your secret lover?”***The room fell into an uneasy silence as Dr. Lash's accusatory words hung in the air. Brianna's eyes widened in surprise and confusion, darting a quick glance toward Jack. His expression mirrored her confusion, but beneath it, anger simmered.Is it possible that Dr. Lash already knows about their whole marriage contract?"Uncle, what are you talking about?" Jack interjected, his protective instincts flaring. "Brianna and I are married because we love each other. There's no hidden agenda here. What makes you suddenly question about her and even corner her like th–"Dr. Lash raised a stern hand, silencing Jack with a sharp look. "Stay out of this, Jack. I need to hear the truth from your wife, if she is indeed your wife that really
“Don’t let it bring regret just like what your father did, Master Burkley…”***Jack halted his step as soon as he heard those words. His eyes widened, a chill running down his spine. How did the shaman know about—But as he turned around swiftly, the shaman was already gone as if it had vanished in a thin air. The strange encounter between them left Jack feeling unsettled, but the Alpha try shook it off, attributing it to the mystique of the moment.Resuming his walk, Jack still couldn't shake the sense of unease. The hospital corridors seemed colder now, and the distant hum of machinery took on an eerie tone. The scent of pine lingered, a reminder of the shaman's words echoing in his mind.As Jack approached the hospital room, he peered through the glass door. Brianna was sitting on the bed, her shoulders shaking with sobs. Guilt pricked at Jack's conscience. He hesitated, watching her vulnerability from a distance."The Fool, huh," Jack mused, remembering the tarot card. The shama
After hours of trying to calm her, the Omega finally finished crying. Jack stood there, watching Brianna's peaceful sleep, her tear-streaked face now serene. The room, once filled with tension and despair, felt quieter, almost sacred. The ordeal had taken a toll on both of them, and Jack couldn't shake off the heaviness in his heart.He sighed in relief, grateful that he had intervened in time to prevent Brianna from making a decision that would have changed everything. The shaman's words echoed in his mind, a reminder that this moment was crucial, that the choices made now could shape the path ahead.Despite the chaos of emotions within him, Jack found himself drawn to Brianna's vulnerability. The magic in the air, whether from the shaman's encounter or an unspoken connection, lingered. His actions, guided by an inexplicable force, led him to caress her cheeks and wipe away the dry tears on her face.As his fingers traced the lines of her face, Jack felt a strange warmth, a connectio
Back at the hospital...Dr. Lash sighed as he stepped out of the operating room. The surgery had gone well, but his mind was preoccupied with the unanswered questions that lingered between him and Brianna. He hated the fact that his inquiry about her feelings toward Jack had been abruptly halted by the need for surgery.Taking a moment to collect himself, Dr. Lash walked down the sterile hospital corridor, the artificial lighting casting a cold glow. He couldn't deny the frustration gnawing at him, but he needed to compartmentalize his emotions and focus on what was within his control.His thoughts swirled as he attempted to calm himself. It was imperative to maintain objectivity, especially in his position as a doctor. Brianna's well-being was his primary concern, and getting distracted by personal emotions wouldn't serve her best interests.Dr. Lash reflected on Brianna's condition before the surgery, particularly the moment he asked her about her feelings for Jack. Her tears and th
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
