"I was an orphan and always did everything alone. Most people were reluctant to deal with me, before I became a doctor, because they were afraid I would burden them," said Audrey in a bitter tone."I hate short-minded people like that," said Aretha irritably. "They must be heartless."Audrey smiled at Aretha's words. "That's why I chose to keep the twins a secret because I was worried that Liam wouldn't accept them and instead see them as a burden. Or, what was more painful, if he thought I was lying.""I'll beat Liam if he thinks that. Didn't he see for himself that the twin is a photocopy of himself."Audrey took Aretha to the dining room and sat in front of the counter."Mom, can I ask you something?" Audrey asked carefully, while serving a cup of coffee and cakes on the counter table. The sound of the twins and Liam's laughter could be heard loudly from the twin's room."Of course, Audrey. Ask," said Aretha softly.Audrey hesitated for a moment because her mind was now full of f
"A Meeting?" Vincent asked confused. "But, Mr. Liam, this afternoon you have a meeting scheduled with a client from the Nomo Industry regarding cooperation in the development of tourist villas in the area--""I know and don't worry. Marvin just told me that the CEO of Nomo Industry suddenly fell ill and had to be temporarily hospitalized, so his secretary canceled today's meeting," Liam said calmly. "So, let's arrange a meeting with the staff."Vincent looked confused but he still carried out Liam's orders and contacted everyone who was interested in attending the meeting.After lunch, towards the afternoon, everyone involved in the new drug research project that was about to be created gathered in a large meeting room. Everyone was wondering because of the sudden meeting invitation."Ladies and gentlemen, I invite you all to this meeting because I will make a backup plan to handle the copyright controversy with Belfast Pharmaceuticals," Liam said calmly.Some people started whisperi
"Audrey, are you sure you can go alone? What if I follow you from behind?"Audrey smiled. "No need, Liam, this is just an ordinary dinner invitation and nothing will happen," Audrey said rea*suringly."But, that person could be reckless because feels has been found out, then tries to harm you," said Liam insistently."Come on, Liam, I haven't said anything to that person at all and that person probably wouldn't have guessed that. Remember, we still have to use the principle of presumption of innocence," said Audrey firmly.Liam sighed. "Okay. But, you have to immediately tell me something dangerous could happen. Don't try to handle it yourself. It might be dangerous.""Yes, Liam, of course."Hanna makes a reservation at a very fancy restaurant. She looked nervous and restless when Audrey arrived."Hi, Hanna," said Audrey in a friendly manner.She thought she should be the one to invite Hanna and treat her, as she had intended after Hanna helped her from the trap prepared by Pujha."Do
Hanna was scared because she realized she had made a big mistake."Hanna, you shouldn't sacrifice someone to cover your mistakes. Even if that person is someone you hate. Do you hate Mr. Vincent so much that you made him pay for your mistakes? Because he rejected your love?" Audrey said seriously."No, Doctor Audrey, on the contrary, I really love Mr. Vincent, it has never changed since the beginning. I'm just disappointed because of his attitude towards me," answered Hanna wearily."Love shouldn't make us harm the people we love, Hanna," said Audrey. She patted Hanna's arm gently. "Besides, I'm sure, whatever Mr. Vincent's attitude towards you, he must have a reason for doing so. He is a good person.""Yes, I know, Doctor Audrey. That's why I keep worrying and feeling guilty.""Moreover, Hanna, what you are doing is not only having an impact on Mr. Vincent, but also many people in the company. You will probably make many people lose their jobs or at least have their income reduced be
In fact, since talking to Aretha and knowing that the insight provided by the woman was much more open and modern, as well as feeling Aretha's sincere support and affection for her, Audrey realized that no matter how hard she tried to make herself tough in front of her children so that they could enjoying their life in the werewolf world.Even though she knows that she cannot be part of that world, Audrey realizes that she is still a mother who cannot be separated from her children for any reason.Audrey changed her mindset and set her goals in mind. She is sure that is what she wants to achieve now, but because of that goal she must be good at acting and playing her role.It's like a card game. She couldn't show all her cards to Liam. If Audrey wanted to stay with her child, she couldn't let Liam hate her in any way, but she also couldn't seem too flattering.Audrey decides to play a game of tug-of-war, to keep Liam intrigued and riled, before completely ensnaring him until he can't
Audrey felt Liam's breath, which smelled of cinnamon and citrus, hit her sense of smell and the warmth made the hairs on her neck tingle.Panicked by Liam's sudden approach, Audrey stepped back, but her feet were caught by the sofa behind her and she staggered.Audrey's hand reflexively reached out, looking for a grip on her balance which was suddenly lost and only Liam's jacket could be grabbed.She fell onto the sofa, bringing Liam on top of her. Audrey falls and sank into Liam's arms who hold her waist. She didn't dare to breathe, worried that Liam would hear her heartbeat which was now beating crazily in her chest.Liam smirked, deliberately not changing position. Audrey's body was warm and soft, with the aroma of sweet vanilla, soft rosemary and fresh lemon, she was almost like a marshmallow with a certain taste.Liam looked at Audrey's neck. The pearly white color of her skin now has a beautiful pink tinge. Liam's desire to make a hickey on that beautiful skin was very big, but
Audrey turned her attention away from the laptop screen, when her phone on the table vibrated, indicating an incoming message.She looked at the screen and frowned, seeing an unknown number sending a message.[Doctor Audrey, can we meet this afternoon? There's something important I need to talk to you about. Rica Salandra.]Audrey frowned. Where did Rica get her phone number? Audrey thought, Rica must have felt pressured until she dared to send a message asking to meet her.Rica is the type of woman who is arrogant and has a high ego. Sending messages and asking to meet other women who are considered rivals from the start definitely requires a strong determination to lower their ego.Audrey was very curious about what Rica wanted from her, because after several verbal attacks on Audrey, she tried as much as possible not to cross paths with Rica or anyone who seemed pro to her.However, Rica is a celebrity and many people have only seen her on screen or heard news about her, so they d
The atmosphere in the car was a bit stagnant and the two didn't know what to say.For some reason, it seemed like there was a transparent wall between Audrey and Liam now, which made the two of them feel awkward towards each other, even though they had formed a good partnership before to deal with the problems that occurred.In her mind, Audrey thought about Rica's previous words. She just realized the truth of Rica's words that her work room was designed the same as Liam's work room. She also thought about how Liam would view her now that she had shown his abilities and helped solve problems at the company.Liam often says, asking Audrey to be aware that she won't be able to be a Luna for his pack, because she's just an ordinary human being and now Audrey feels disturbed because of Rica's words discussing this matter in her sarcasm earlier, that she is actually like a Luna because she can help Liam.What does Liam think about that? Did it cross Liam's mind that after what Audrey was
"This is too luxurious," Audrey muttered as she stared at her reflection in the full-length mirror in front of her.She was wearing a white wedding dress with lots of luxurious ta*sels and lace.Audrey tugged at the neck of the dress which felt tickling. Madam Nayra threw both hands into the air, giving in to the fussiness of her special client this time."Come on, Luna, you can't look too simple on your wedding day," said Madam Nayra in a tired tone. "This is the sixth wedding dress you've rejected. I don't know what else you want."Audrey looked at Madam Nayra feeling guilty. Her eyes filled with tears and suddenly Madam Nayra panicked. She grabbed a tissue and quickly approached Audrey."No, no, you can't cry. Alpha Liam will cut off my head if he finds out I made you cry," said Madam Nayra confused.Audrey wiped the corners of her eyes. "I'm sorry, Madam Nayra, I'm really confused. I don't like all this lace and ribbons, but Luna Celia said that all Lunas wear dresses like this wh
"Are you feeling better, Alpha Liam?" Mr. Kwon attentively."Yes, Mr. Kwon. I have found a special antidote that can heal me miraculously," said Liam while glancing at Audrey who pretended not to hear his words, even though anyone could see her ears turning red."Good. You shouldn't be sick for too long, because an Alpha has many and heavy duties in the pack," said Mr. Kwon is happy."Yes, my Son," responded Aretha quickly. "Beta Tama and General Tendryck came last night and reported that they had found Rica, hiding in the cellar of Worland's house. She broke in with a secret key, because at that time, Worland was not at home, he had gone fishing in the South with Alpha Thanon of the South Arrow Pack.""That means we can't accuse Worland of being involved in the problem created by Rica," said Liam. "She is solely responsible for what she did."Yes. This morning I heard Worland come back and I called him, telling him what his daughter had done and he was so shocked that he fainted. No
"This is wolfbane," said Mr. Kwon with a gloomy face. "A poison produced from a type of wild plant whose flowers are so beautiful that they are often used as ornamental plants for those who don't know.""So, this plant is easy to find, if it is wild and used as an ornamental plant?" Audrey asked anxiously."Yes. This plant is poisonous in all its parts and if misused, it can be very dangerous. However, with proper use, wolfsbane can be an effective medicine for treating fevers and colds," said Mr. Kwon. "If I read correctly, this plant is also used as one of the ingredients in the herbal medicine project you are studying, Doctor Audrey.""Ah, yes, I remember," said Audrey, snapping her fingers. "I think this might be putting Liam in a dilemma. Certain plants can be very poisonous, right?""Yes, Doctor Audrey. But I think Alpha Liam's condition is very strong, so he isn't too affected by the wolfsbane poison. However, he needs time to recover because the poison is in quite a lot of con
Audrey asked for two week's leave from the office, after the kidnapping of her children by Rica and her gang.After Liam took her out of the pack, no one knew where Rica was, not even Worland--her father.Worland said that Rica left after taking all her valuables from the house. She also withdrew all the money from savings, which Worland knew about from a notification letter from the bank stating that it had closed all of Rica's savings accounts because all the balances had been withdrawn.Audrey is worried about her children's condition after the kidnapping. She was worried that they would experience trauma.However, his fears turned out to be unfounded. The twins seemed fine, in fact they tried to calm Audrey down and make her believe they were fine.Liam returned to his usual routine and took care of all the problems behind the kidnapping quickly. He didn't want any more problems like that to happen to his children and make Audrey afraid again.Sandford has been arrested by the pol
Liam looked around and suddenly his heart felt sad. This mansion was bought by Theodore when Liam was three years old.At that time, Liam accidentally got into Theodore's car which he was driving with the realtor who was selling this mansion. He was very happy, feeling that it was a smaller mansion than Keagan Palace, so he wouldn't get lost when walking around.Theodore, who then found Liam looking around the garden at the mansion, got angry and told him to keep his mouth shut about the mansion, which at that time, Theodore's order actually made him confused.After that there was never any more talk about the mansion, until when Liam was six years old, he accidentally suggested going on holiday to the mansion, when Aretha and Theodore were discussing holiday destinations.According to Liam, the mansion was very beautiful, with a small garden and a lake filled with ducks. He wanted to show its beauty to Aretha, who was bored of continuing to live at Keagan Palace.Instead of going on
"I followed you to that man's hiding place, the villa I once bought for your mother and never visited since she died," said Worland Kiehl in a sad tone. "Emily helped me make you guys completely unaware of our presence there and you talked freely about the plan to kidnap Alpha Liam's twins.""You've got to be kidding, Dad, that's not us at all," Rica argued angrily. "You're just making up stories."Worland shook his head in annoyance. He had provided a voice recording of Rica and Sandford planning to kidnap the twins and even thanks to Emily who had the ability to hypnotize, he was able to take a picture of their back view from the villa window."Why did you do that, Rica? Didn't I give you a warning to stay away from Alpa Liam and Doctor Audrey?" Worland snapped angrily. "Now I can't protect you anymore.""Dad, not only did you not protect me, but you also put me in trouble," screamed Rica angrily.Liam sighed. He touched Worland's shoulder. "Can I do it now?" Liam asked."Yes. Do it
Audrey's hands were damp and hot. Liam tried to release his grip so he could wipe Audrey's palms with a tissue, but his future wife tightened her grip."Baby, drink or eat a little," Liam coaxed gently. "You haven't eaten anything except breakfast this morning and that was nine hours ago."Audrey sighed and laid her head on Liam's lap."I can't swallow anything, Liam," Audrey complained in a muffled voice on Liam's lap. "My throat hurts and my head is dizzy.Liam stroked Audrey's thick, smooth hair. He understood what Audrey felt because deep down he felt it too.He acted calm just to keep Audrey calm and not panic. Even though great anxiety dominated his mind and heart.The news brought by the head of the conference organizer, a Beta from the Nightwalker Pack who lives in Italy, shattered all the excitement that was being held by Liam and Audrey."Your and Doctor Audrey's phones were off, so Beta Vincent called me to let you know," said Mark Jacobi, the Beta. His face looked wo
"We can produce anti-allergic drugs that are effect-free, or at least have very little effect on the people who consume them," said Audrey firmly. "Our company has done it and now the drug is starting to circulate in the world.""Are you sure that the drug is effective for treating allergies, whereas I believe that reducing side effects means eliminating many important elements in the drug itself," argued a doctor from India fiercely."That's right, Doctor Audrey. We make anti-allergic drugs with a drowsy effect on patients, so that they sleep and rest well, so that their allergy symptoms subside by themselves," supported a doctor from Australia."You're lying to the patient then," Audrey said calmly. "Why give them anti-allergy medicine if it's just to make them sleep? Just inject an anesthetic then!"The spacious conference room immediately became bustling with cheers and applause. Many praised Audrey and her courage in arguing with senior foreign doctors and professors.Liam smiled
Liam and Audrey have to go to Italy to attend an international seminar for entrepreneurs in the world who work in the pharmaceutical sector.Xander had previously set doctor Lewis Baron and chemical analyst Merida Lou to depart, but two days before the time, doctor Lewis caught chicken pox and there were several problems in the trial phase that analyst Merida was working on.Finally, seeing that Audrey's work was still fine if he choose her to leave and he also felt that Audrey needed a change of scenery, Liam decided to invite Audrey to attend the seminar.Audrey was both enthusiastic and worried. She had never gone too far away from the twins."Mom, come on, we're big and we've practiced a lot of self-defense to protect ourselves from criminals," said Tristan as he moved around demonstrating his self-defense skills.Thiery nodded his head in support of his twin convincing their parents."Tristan is right, Mom. Besides, Grandma is here to take care of us. There's Madam Noya and a doz
