Chapter 27Bryant Reed POV"Shit!" I cursed, running my fingers through my hair."This is not right... This is not fucking right... Everything is messed up," I mumbled as I sank my fingers into my hair frustratingly. I should've been more careful. "We need to make things right... I need to talk to her," I mumbled then picked up my phone from the nightstand and was set to dial her number, but I paused and sighed, giving it a second thought if this was something I should do or if I should just give up. She was yet to recover from the shock, so calling her here was going to make things difficult, but then, I needed to make sure everything was under control so Alpha Kayla wouldn't find out anything.After giving it a thorough thought, I finally dialed his number and waited patiently for her to answer the call and as expected, she ignored the call."Can you pick up, please?" I whispered, dialing her number for the second time, and when she didn't answer her phone, I decided to drop w text
Chapter 28Celine Coleman POV'Let's talk' I read his fifth message today but dropped my phone on the bed without replying to it. I wasn't in the mood, and seeing him at that moment was the last thing on my mind. 'Just because we had sex, does that make you think you have the right to say that to me?' I scoffed unbelievably and hugged my knees to my chest, the tears I'd been fighting back finally streamed down my cheeks."Look what he said to you. You should never have done that. You are nothing but a shameless cheap whore," I whispered as more tears streamed down my cheeks. My stomach grumbled loudly, so I clutched it and grimaced as the realization dawned on me that I hadn't had anything all day."Shit!" I cursed and was going to ignore it, but it sounded again and I knew better to get something to eat before I developed acidity again. I dragged myself into the bathroom and checked myself out in the mirror. My eyes were swollen from crying all day, my hair was disheveled, and my
Chapter 29Alpha Kayla watched as Alpha Draco of Blood Moon Pack slowly went through the papers he was holding, one after the other. "What is the meaning of this, Alpha Kayla? I told you to find the original documents of the company. Why are you wasting my time?" Alpha Draco who was always a busy man sneered angrily as he dropped the papers on the table and reclined on the chair."Those are the papers you asked for, Alpha...""Are you trying to say that I can't see well? These are not the original papers of the company. You want me to become business partners with you and invest in your company when you don't even have a full right over it? Are you planning to make me go bankrupt?" Alpha Draco slammed his hands on the table, enraged, and Kayla pulled a puzzled look."What do you mean?""We both know what I'm talking about. You can't come here and keep wasting my time. Let me know when you are ready to work with me. Until then, you wouldn't want to disturb me again. That's the way out
Chapter 30Bryant Reed POVLater that nightMy phone rang, and when I checked it, I saw that it was a call from Alpha Kayla. Why is he calling me this late? I asked myself and hesitantly picked up my phone and swiped the answer button."Hey, son," His annoying voice sounded from the other end, so I rolled my eyes and reclined in the wheelchair, throwing my head back."Hmm..." I replied to him bluntly."Have you eaten yet?" He asked, his voice laced with concern which I would've mistaken to be genuine if I didn't know the kind of person he was. He could always fool every other person, but definitely not me."Hmm," "I'm sorry, son. I have something to take care of back here, so I won't be able to come over to the mansion tonight. I'll try to come tomorrow," He explained as if I wanted him here. "Don't miss me too much, son. I will try and come over tomorrow," I scoffed silently when I heard those annoying ridiculous words from him. How could I miss him of all people? Never!"Hmm," Aga
Chapter 31Celine Coleman POVI tossed on the bed for the umpteenth time, unable to sleep even though I've been forcing myself to. My head was still occupied with his thoughts even though I didn't want to think about it. The imagination of the pain he has been through all these years wouldn't stop haunting me, and it only made me feel angry and sympathetic toward him, something he hated the most.'Can you pretend nothing happened?' I finally sat up on the bed when those words replayed in my head. Yes, that was going to be the best thing for him, but how could I pretend nothing happened? How could I pretend I didn't see anything when I did?I reached for my phone on the nightstand and unlocked it, welcomed by a text on the screen.'I'm sorry for putting you into a difficult situation. I will blame myself for everything. We don't have to keep seeing each other. We could just pretend we never met' I scoffed after I read through the text, waves of anger spurred through me."Pretend we nev
Chapter 32Celine Coleman POV"We need to talk," I said to him even though I wasn't sure of what I wanted to talk about."What do we need to talk about?" He asked me, his face laced with curiosity and questioning, so I swallowed nothing and went to sit on the bed."I'm sorry about how I lashed out at you the other day. I was just shocked and angry at that time," I began, but he only stared back at me with an unreadable expression on his face as if I was acting drama, and I had to ask myself if he heard what I said."I felt like I was fooled. That's why I was like that," I further said, but he continued to stare at me, and it was making me feel uncomfortable."Are you going to stare at me like that? I just told you that I'm sorry. What more do you want? Do you think it's fair?" I scoffed, and he raised his eyebrows but didn't bother to say anything to me."Are you not going to say anything, Bryant? I should be the one mad at you... You made a fool of me, ignored me, and you still told
Chapter 33Bryant Reed"What are you planning to do, Bryant? She loves you, and it's very obvious. Do you want to let her be with the Alpha?" Nolan asked as he sat on the bed, but I just stared out of the window, my thoughts going in different directions without any destination.'I love you, Bryant. I love you with everything in me' Her words replayed in my head and I had no idea whether or not I should be happy. Here I was, thinking she'd never look at me again, I thought she would hate me when she found out my identity little did I know that she felt genuine feelings for me. I was shocked when she confessed to me, but a part of me was scared. "I don't know what I should do, Nolan. I don't even have any plan yet... I can't deny that I love her way more, but...""Then just go for her and stop trying to resist it...""You won't understand, Nolan. I really want to. I want to tell her that I love her, but I'm scared. I want to protect her, but I'm scared I won't be able to," I shook my
Chapter 34"How the f**k am I supposed to do this?" Nolan mumbled as he pulled over at the side of the road, and threw his head on the headrest frustratingly. It was supposed to be a beautiful night, but with Bryant frustrating him and sending him on a death mission, then this couldn't just be considered a beautiful night.He swallowed nothing, looking at the tall castle from where he was parked, asking himself if he should go ahead or turn back from there to avoid the story that touched the heart later.'You are the only one I trust, Nolan. You have to do this for me' he sighed deeply and sank his fingers in his hair frustratingly, recalling that he was the only one his friend had, and no matter what he needed to be there for him even if it meant that he would put his life on the line.Taking a deep breath, he pushed the car door opened and stepped out of it then checked the time and realized that it was midnight. "You can do this, Nolan. You need to do this for Bryant. You are the
