Nothing is more heart-wrenching than pain when someone you loves sees you as more than nothing but only a regular mate in bed. The man didn't even feel the slightest feeling you have as a woman. That was how the pain lingered now inside Lenora's mind after she found it.
Lenora came out of her apartment to follow Grey after his rush and ran towards James' apartment. She found them and stood behind a wall to eavesdrop on everything. Lenora's gaze then lowered, and her fingers rubbed against each other.
People mostly misunderstood her as an ice woman. Lenora could shoo someone out, whether a man or a woman, with even the most hurtful sentence without feeling guilty. She an iceberg; that's how people called her name after.
But Lenora wasn't a rock who couldn't feel love. She can always cover up her anxiety with make-up and an arrogant look on her appearance. But her heart was so lonely and empty.
Lenora had not lived with her parents for a long time. She didn
Lenora is as cold as an ice. She goes to Grey's room and gives a report that James should have checked. But since James wasn't in, she had to hand it over to Grey."Here is your report, sir." Lenora handed over the report and intended to leave immediately."Wait, Lenora..." Lenora, who had turned around, stopped walking and turned to face Gray again."I need you for today's meeting. Can you assist me?" Lenora immediately nodded because she couldn't possibly decline Grey, who was her boss today. Grey casually nodded and went back to his work on the table.Lenora only sighed to turn to leave the room as if nothing had happened.After that, Grey and Lenora were at one table during the meeting. They each other do their tasks well without anyone suspecting or being able to see if they often become sexual mates at night.When Grey accidentally bumped Lenora so that it rolled down right near Lenora's heels, she realized it. She was about to take it
Nicole looked irritatedly angry when James pushed her hand over him. Instead, he went to pull Delilah with him without even saying anything to Nicole. And those James Belgenza's mistress, whose Nicole didn't want to remember the name, was quietly pulled out of the jewelry boutique by James to his car."Miss, your order is ready!" a staff breaking Nicole's standing position of annoyance at James, who was opening the car door for Delilah. Nicole walked quickly to the cashier and paid to leave soon.Hurriedly, he got into his luxury car half-speeded after James' car. Barely overtaken, but as if she was a bit lucky, Nicole managed to get James' car to turn right.On her stalking way to James, Nicole calls Daniel Belvedere, her current ally."Where are you?" Nicole asked through her Bluetooth earbuds."I'm on a bit of work. What's up?" Daniel replied casually."I was stalking J Belgenza. It looks like he went towards Central Park. He took a girl
Delilah was on her perplexed mind about James's attitude toward her now. She has no idea about his reason. But one thing he knew, James just left her in the park. Daniel slowly approached Delilah and touched the side of her arm so that she turned to see him.The line of her tears made Daniel stunned for a moment. Delilah was crying because of James."Why did you lie?" Delilah gently responded to Daniel in a choked sob."I am not lying. I love you and intended to court you as my girl. I also want to propose to you, Delilah!" Delilah shook her head to reject Daniel in no time."I'm not a trophy among you. What are you two fighting over?" Daniel paused and took a deep breath. He tried to touch Delilah's arm again, but she brushed it off slowly and chose to leave Daniel."Delilah..." Daniel called her name, but Delilah kept walking while wiping her tears that kept falling. Daniel rubbed his hair in annoyance. Once again, he had nothing but just the rej
"Perhaps this is how our fate should be," Shawn muttered as if he was cool-headed about his mind-blowing life. James frowned and turned to see Shawn."Does Kiran love you?" asked James with a still puzzled look at him. Shawn raised the corners of his lips and shook his head."I do not think so. I am her father's enemy. How can she love me?" Shawn implied his thought about his wife, Kiran. James took a deep breath, as well as Shawn. Both of them were broken-hearted lovers trying to mend their hearts."I thought Delilah was like that too. It is impossible that she loves me!" Shawn pursed his lips and nodded. He sighed and then took a sip of his drink."Why don't you show the public about your relationship anyway? You are not like me bound by a prenuptial agreement threatening the states' security!" Shawn sarcastically turned his head to James."As long as Gabriel Moretti keeps staying around, I have to keep Delilah away from the public," James replie
James had longed to see Delilah's orbs this close. Those blue eyes made him fall in love the first time he saw her. The same eyes that made him now go through everything just for her. Delilah's blue eyes put James' frozen heart melt and warm."Will you be my girlfriend, Candy?" James asked while mumbling. He stared at Delilah differently from when he had asked her the same thing before.Delilah was stunned by James' brown eyes, attractive nose, and sexy full lips. She choked the words she was about to spit out to him. But James learned it all. Delilah accidentally spilled that she loved James before.James came closer and pecked Delilah's lips twice. It was enough to make her cheeks blush hard. She was so flustered that she couldn't hide it anymore."Say yes," James murmured against Delilah's lips. Delilah mumbled her words slowly as if she had fallen into James Harristian's love spell."Yes." James grinned more and closed his eyes when he got clos
Lenora kept staring at Grey, letting him speak without interrupting."I can't stay loving, Miss Starley, through this time. By now, she and Mr. Belgenza must be officially dating. And they love each other," said Grey, still trying to explain his intention."We're not teenagers who need a relationship status, Grey!""I know. I have to get out of my feelings. When should I love a girl who belongs to someone else? And I can't win Miss Starley's heart. I love and respect Mr. Belgenza very much. He is a big brother who is my role model and pride." Grey sighed and looked the other way with an annoyed face."Lenora, if I don't learn to love you, it will be hard for me to let go of my feelings. Please help me." Lenora's gaze began to soften, and she drew closer to Grey."What if I can't make you love me in the end?" Grey seemed to be slightly frowning."I don't know… you can punish me. Or whatever, I don't care!" Lenora took a deep breath and
Unable to stay out of the house, Delilah decided to watch television. But unfortunately, there are no news channels other than music shows and animated films. Delilah's brows furrowed again. She even went so far as to check the remote to ensure she didn't break it."As far as I know, why are there so many channels. But only three left. Where are the others?" Delilah muttered innocently."Could it be that Mr. J forgot to pay the bill? Wow, I have to remind him. He must have forgotten to pay. He's too busy, right!" Delilah assumed herself and instead contacted James on her phone.COFFEE SHOPJames looked more tranquil and happier than usual. He is meeting with some new clients for business cooperation. Apart from talking about business, this semi-formal meeting is now starting to lead to personal matters."I heard Mr. Belgenza and Miss Schurman were crowned the perfect couple on the red carpet at the association party. Now I understa
Delilah innocently grinned to show her lovely teeth as if she had done nothing. Meanwhile, James, who still didn't apprehend, glanced at the rest of the muffins left on the plate. He examined back at Delilah, who was still grinning widely."You made this cake?" James asked suspiciously."Yes, is there something wrong? Don't you like it?" Delilah asked while widening her beautiful orbs as if she wished James would love her cake. James sighed faintly and glanced at the cake again. He began to understand that Delilah seemed to want to play on him, although he had no clue why. James chose to play along by eating the rest of the muffins with a slight tilt of his head for a moment.He had almost stuffed the entire muffin into his mouth if it had been just a tiny bit."Hmmm..." James gave Delilah a thumbs up to praise her. Delilah was initially grinning happily before now losing her smile. But to prevent looking weird, she still beamed at James as if nothing had
Delilah had severe contractions within an hour of being taken to the hospital. James had no time to change his pajamas, which didn't match his top. But never mind; James doesn't care about his appearance anymore. He often appears to no longer match his attire. There was one time when he actually wore sandals to the lobby and prepared to get into the car to go to the office. Luckily, none of the employees dared to laugh at him at all.This time, he will officially become a father. Grey, who was also in alert mode, was forced to jump out of bed in the early hours of the morning because Delilah's water broke. Lenora didn't want to come because she was still sleepy, so she let Grey go.Now in the treatment room and waiting for the perfect opening, Delilah hugged James while standing with Grey, who also stood up, stroking Delilah's back."AHHH!" Delilah screamed in pain when the contraction occurred again. James could only continue to hug and calm his wife, but in fa
The trip to Los Angeles takes less than two hours from New York. Initially, they all went to the hospital to visit Aidan. The hospital was full of Aidan Caesar's family. In the end, only a few people were allowed into Malikha's treatment room.James and Bryan chose to wait outside for a while until Arjoona, Jayden, Mars, and Shawn came back in after seeing Aidan's condition."How is she?" James asked a little impatiently."Still under treatment. I think the baby will be born soon; Aidan will be staying with her," answered Joona, and James nodded in understanding."Let's just wait!"Outside, Jayden then asked Erikson and Grey to take all the children of The Seven Wolves, along with their nanny, to the booked hotel. Meanwhile, the parents will wait in the family waiting room. They rented a luxury hotel for all the family members who would stay with Aidan."Uncle Grey, where are we going?" Rei asked Grey, who accompanied him, to escort the chil
James occasionally glanced at Delilah and Shawn, who were just sitting and watching the campfire in front of him."Why isn't this over? It's been almost two years since we killed Kanishka. Why isn't he dead yet?" said Aidan, still adamant. Jayden, who heard the whispers, then approached."Kanishka is dead. But his son is not," Jayden said to Aidan. Aidan let out an annoyed breath. He looked at Shawn, who continued to stare at his wife and then occasionally looked down."Does he know?" Arjoona nodded."He's the first to confirm this," Joona answered, turning to Shawn and then to Jayden."So Kiran has a brother?""Exactly. It's a sibling who hates her so much. Kiran is the unlawful daughter of Kanishka's mistress, while Rohan is Kanishka's son from his legal wife," Jayden added."His name is Rohan." Jayden nodded."He's MIT's best graduate. genius; his IQ is equal to or more than Joona. He's more dangerous than Mars and the creat
"READY... FIRE!" military salute gunshots at Lieutenant Blue Handerson's funeral. Troops under the command of former Admiral Shawn Miller, Blue's superior during his time in the United States Navy, paid their final respects.All members of The Seven Wolves took part in the funeral ceremony and stood with their mates, except Jayden and Aidan.For James, who still had injuries on his busting face, he could only put one arm around Delilah. He and all members of The Seven Wolves have agreed to no longer be involved in any ambushes.The police have destroyed all of The Seven Wolves' recorded activities and secrets. At least for now, they may feel safe.After the funeral, the Seven Wolves threw a brunch for all the mourners. Grey Hunter appears to be sitting alone. His eyes were still looking at James and Delilah, who were sitting with Mars and Vanylla, still chatting with each other.It was seen that James didn't let go of his hug at all to Delilah. Occ
Aidan gave Grey a code to move to chase the group of gangsters who were about to escape through the underground tunnel. He half-ran, panting, then pressed himself against the damp tunnel wall.His eyes then peeked out from behind the wall and saw a large container truck in the middle of the tunnel mouth. He turned around and whispered to Aidan, who was also pressing his back against the tunnel wall."They're going to escape. We've reached the end of the tunnel!" Grey whispered, and Aidan nodded. He turned and ran back to his group. Shawn's bleeding had stopped, but he was still half-supported by Juan leaning against the wall."They're going to run away. There's a container in the way," said Aidan, breathlessly giving a report to Shawn. Shawn nodded in understanding and called the rest of the team over."We will attack. They cannot escape!" said Shawn, giving his order. Soon, Grey came back and joined."It's bad; they're taking hostages. There's a w
All members of The Seven Wolves have changed clothes and put on all their equipment. They will be disguised in all-black SWAT police attire with helmets. Of the 16 people, the Seven Wolves have four main snipers: Aidan, Shawn, Blake, and Erikkson. The three reserve shooters are Mars, Grey, and Bryan. The five sharp weapons and martial arts specialists are Jayden, Han, Glenn, Blue, and Juan. The strategy and tactics specialists are Arya, Caleb, and James, while Arjoona will lead and guide the entire team."Everyone gather; I will divide our team!" Arjoona was ordered to come forward in front of all the members."We will ambush from four different directions, and one of the SWAT members will be there to help each group as a guide. We will all work together. Our main goal is to free the hostages, as the police will divert attention so we can get in.""The first group is Shawn, Jayden, Grey, and Arya; you will enter through the eastern water tunnel near the Bronson,
James' kiss on Delilah's cheek made her slowly open her eyes while sleeping. One of James' hands then reached forward and caressed Delilah's belly bump. Since 23 weeks of pregnancy, Delilah has been sleeping on her side more often.Delilah turned around slowly, and James' sweet smile greeted Delilah's nap."Are you home?" Delilah asked in a soft voice with a smile on her lips. James just smiled, and his other hand stroked Daelilah's hair. He hadn't even taken off his jacket at all."How's my candy today?" James replied in a gentle tone too. His lips then kissed the tip of Delilah's nose, and he smiled again."I get sleepy quickly," replied Delilah, then chuckled slightly and joined in stroking James' arm."You'd better change your clothes first; they'll get wrinkled," Delilah scolded, but James ignored her and got closer. He started kissing Delilah's cheek and neck. Delilah giggled when she found her husband's consistently spoiled behavior.
Grey Hunter had just finished his work and came home a little tired. His and Lenora's relationship has indeed returned to normal, although it is no longer as passionate as before. Lenora seemed to keep her distance from Grey. He didn't want to be hurt again and chose not to pay too much attention to Grey. It seemed like she was afraid of falling too deeply in love with him.After standing for a few seconds with sleepy eyes in front of the elevator, Grey turned to the left and saw Delilah coming out of the elevator with Blaze together. It looked like she was going out of the Ritz with her dog for a walk.Grey's instinct to pay attention to Delilah wasn't working well. He actually followed back and called her name."Miss Delilah!" Delilah suddenly turned and smiled."Hi, Grey!" Delilah waved at Grey, who was walking quickly towards her."Hi, Miss, Where are you going?" Grey asked as he stood in front of Delilah and smiled at her."I just want
The longer Delilah's pregnancy lasts, the more beautiful and sexy she looks. And James increasingly couldn't be distant from his wife. Starting in the second month of Delilah's pregnancy, James took his wife everywhere. Despite the doctor's long-standing advice to avoid traveling long distances by plane or land, James instead brought in a special obstetrician for Delilah so she could calm down. And when they were alone, James never stopped touching Delilah.Although Delilah's pregnancy hormones were significantly higher than they had been the previous month, her personal doctor once again forbade James from engaging in excessive sexual activity."You could hurt her; the semen in your sperm could cause her to miscarry!" said Delilah's personal doctor, warning James for the umpteenth time. James snorted in annoyance and was already half-sulking."Is there no other way?" James grumbled with a sullen face."You can just find another doctor. I really can't sta
