JESSICA’S POV “Mommy, where are we going?” Sabrina asked me as we stepped out of the house. I looked down at her as I grinned. “Guess?” I wiggled my brows. She pretended to be thinking like she didn't overhear me telling their caretaker. “The beach?” She deliberately guessed wrong. I shook my head, turning to Felicia to guess also. “Is it the amusement park?” She asked, sounding unsure of her answer. I faced Israel who just shrugged, not caring where we were headed at all. “The only person with the correct answer here is… Felicia!” I announced. She grinned wide as she clapped her hands in joy.

Chapter Eighty-Four: Sudden Heat SHERRY’S POV I rolled on my stomach, feeling my entire body soaked in sweat. I popped one eye open and I stretched out to turn on the lamp. I stared at the ceiling, rolled on my back, and let out a deep sigh. What was happening? I sat myself up, breathing out through my mouth. I scrambled down the bed. Maybe it was the fact that I had closed tne windows and there was no room for air. Just as I stood before the window, the moonlight shone brightly into the room as I pulled the curtains apart. I let out an instant groan, shifting back as my skin etched, becoming even more sensitive. My entire dress was wet and here I was, staying away from the moon. What exactly was happening? I was not feeling sick yet my body reacted sharply. It was not the full moon night either. I went to the bathroom to have a cool bath but seeing my reflection in the mirror, I knew something was wrong somewhere. I pulled my hair behind my ears and stared at my nec
BRIAN’ S POV “Yes, Violeta. Send the emails to them and make sure to finish up the files.” I said as I walked into Holly Empire, barely responding to the greeting from a passerby. “Also, make sure that the files with Holly are done before tonight. We are lagging behind.” I told her. “Okay, sir.” She responded. I disconnected the call, swiping my access card on the access control. I walked into the elevator, letting out a deep sigh as I clicked the ninth floor. Just as the elevator closed up, someone pushed their leg forward, stopping it from closing and I lifted a confused look up to see Bishop who tilted his head to the side. He came to stand beside me, dipping one of his hands into his pocket. “Good morning,” He greeted. “Morning to you too,” I replied, keeping my focus forward. We didn't talk to each other after that. Reaching the seventh floor, Bishop stepped out while I continued to the ninth floor. I had a meeting with Jessica and I knew I was on time today. Getting there,
Meeting the president’s son was really not as I expected. At least not the way I expected it to be. BRIAN’ S POV “Yes, Violeta.

I walked into the building, scared to the core, unable to still my beating heart. The text message has me on hold and I didn't know who could have possibly sent me that text message. Who got hold of my contact and decided to play with me? It even hinted that I must not come with anyone which only made me even more cautious. I was not stupid, the person must have known because there was no way I would come here without letting anyone know so I called Toby to know. He promised to look out for me and I was grateful. We had yet to discuss our differences but at the same time, I still chose to trust me once more. He was the only one I felt safe around. I didn't trust Brian after he ruined it years back and I definitely won't trust Gerald because he could not betray his Alpha once more or else, Brian might decide to remove him from the Beta position which I didn't want to take the blame for for. I don't want to ruin things so I would rather do it myself. So let us get on with t

Today was my wedding anniversary to my husband. I should be happy right? I should be dressed in the most beautiful outfit and looking all glammed up for my husband. Ridiculous!I was here, pacing to and fro, waiting for him to be back so that I could share the good news with him. A good news that was likely to change the course of our lives. A smile curled at the end of my lips at the thought alone.I licked my lips, afraid that if I bit them too much, they would bleed from my nervousness and the excitement bubbling in my stomach. At the thought alone, I gripped my stomach as I let out a deep breath.I was - I looked up as I heard the door creaked open. I tapped my feet impatiently as Brian appeared before me. Brian Knox, the love of my life and my husband. We have been married for two years and I would not lie, it has not always been roses. There were days we never spoke to each other. Days when he would ignore me like I did not exist and there was probably no day he had acknowledged
I shamefully signed the papers and within two days, I left his house. I did not set my eyes on Brian and I would not lie, I was hurt. Pain had been my pillow since the day he walked out on me with Angela. Angela... The bitch who had returned to snatch my husband.I gripped my bag as I stood before the cab and stared back at the building I had lived in for two years. Brian never showed me love. Never told me how much I meant to him. All he ever did was come to meet me for sex and more sex.I instinctively reached out for my belly and exhaled deeply. I was going to take care of them by myself and I will never let Brian come close to any of them. I will make sure he regrets what he did to me. And Angela… she will pay in hundredfold for taking away the father of my kids.My phone beeped with a message and I clicked it open, hoping it was a message from the company I had applied for a job in but it was from an unknown number. My brows creased as I opened the text and shock coated my face.
