CONAN —I was astounded by her request. The phone request hit hard, but I could not ignore it."Is that all you want to be fulfilled?" I asked."Yes, I want my phone back; that would solve the whole problem," she replied.I sighed and sucked in a breath. "Alright. I have heard what you requested, and I will have it fulfilled by tomorrow. It's already late now to be doing that," I remarked.Upon hearing my statement, her face broadened with a smile, and she glared at me with doubt. "Are you sure you are being serious?" she questioned."Absolutely," I replied. "I'm being honest. By tomorrow, I will give your phone back to you. We should go get some sleep now instead because it's already late; it's already morning," I explained."Alright, then. Let's go have some sleep," she responded, this time her voice softened and was no longer mean as she had been speaking with me.I sighed, turned back, and we then headed back inside the house to the bedroom to sleep.A few minutes later, inside th
YVONNE —After the moment with Conan, I went to the restroom and freshened up. I bathed because I felt really weak and broke down because of the nighttime stress and the injury I sustained from the broken bottle in Conan's private room.Although I applied some antibiotics at night before I went to bed to avoid developing tetanus in the middle of the night when it would be too late because it would not accept medication anymore.A few minutes later, I was done bathing, and upon walking out of the restroom, I realized that Alpha Conan was not there anymore. A wry smile escaped from my lips, as this was the perfect time for action."He really thought I'm ready for this marriage sh*t," I mumbled inwardly, smirking.Although I loved Conan and had wished we never separated, but I don't think I can reunite with him due to many factors that I had noticed within the few weeks I had stayed, or should I say a month, because tomorrow would make it one month since Conan had held me hostage.One: I
YVONNE —"Hello, please, is this Yvonne? Am I speaking with Yvonne?" That was the first sentence she made as I picked up the call. I bet she couldn't believe it was happening in reality—that I had called her after many weeks of hiatus."Of course, dear. This is Yvonne. Your very good friend," I responded, standing up from the bed to make sure no one was coming."Oh my goodness!" she exclaimed as she confirmed it was really me through my voice."What happened, dear? Why hadn't you been reachable for over two weeks?" she asked. "Even Mr. Thomas had been worried. He has also been trying your number, but it is not going through. He was even planning on visiting Moon Stone Pack to find out what the issue was, and why you had stayed longer than the agreed date. Even the extra week you mentioned you would stay in order to make sure all patients are fully recovered has passed, and this is a third week already," she remarked.I sighed and dragged in a breath. "It's a long story, Amanda," I man
YVONNE —Amanda kept exclaiming with shock as I narrated the stories to her. After that, we came to a conclusion about how to leave the Moon Stone pack the next day, which is tomorrow.As the call ended, words could not explain how happy I was. I started seeing myself as someone who had left the Moon Stone pack already.With relish, I left for the royal building, pretending as if something had not gone wrong somewhere.Poor, Conan. Only if he knew. He is still busy planning how to throw a massive party for our reunion.And for my kids, I felt pity for them because they were going to miss their Daddy again, but this time it might turn out to be even forever.Upon walking up to the second floor, I saw my kids with their father in the dining room, eating. I walked toward them to join the meal."Where have you been, Yvonne?" Conan asked. "We had been waiting for you for almost half an hour but could not see you, so we had to start eating. Didn't we plan on eating meals together?" he compl
CONAN — After the call that I had excused myself from my family to make, upon coming back to the dining table, I was surprised that none of them were there, not even Yvonne, whom I had told earlier we would be discussing the event that I had planned to host—the reunion party. "Honey?" I called and went in search of her in her room, only to see her typing on her phone. I stood at the entrance for a few seconds, but she could not notice my presence as she was so glued to the phone. I sighed and walked closer to her. I intended to sit beside her so I could discuss it with her. However, as she noticed my presence, she quickly switched off the phone like a child who was caught by her parents going to a restricted site. "What is the problem?" I asked, worried by her attitude. "You are an adult, of course, so you should watch whatever you want on the internet," I remarked, thinking she was on an X-rated site. "No, nothing happened. I just switched it off so I could give you full
CONAN —"What is really happening?" I muttered, wondering. I walked around their playground, searching for them around the objects there to find out if they were playing hide and seek, but I did not see any of them. At this point, I was already boiling in rage. "I hope Yvonne didn't have a hand in this, because if she does, she will see the beast in me. I can't trade those kids for anything, and she should know that." A monologue echoed in my mind. With a fit of rage, I stormed off to meet Yvonne. She should explain to me where my kids are because she was the last lady who spent time with them before they went missing. However, as I walked to the entrance of the building, I met the kids as they were heading upstairs. Upon seeing them, I let out a sigh of relief, and my pulse, which had been breathing heavily, slowed down and started racing at the normal ratio. "Where have you been?" I asked them. They halted on the staircase as they heard my voice. "Daddy!" Liam exclaime
YVONNE — The day was going quicker, and the night was drawing nearer. It was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and all I had been thinking about was what I had planned on doing when it was dark everywhere. However, my heart skipped a beat whenever I recalled it because I knew it was a dangerous move that I was about to take. I was still in my room, browsing through my phone, when I heard a knock on the door. "Yes, who is there?" I asked and waited for an answer, but the person did not respond. Instead, he or she knocked for the second time. "Who is there?" I yelled with a loud voice, and then the person responded. "The lunch is ready, ma'am," she stated. As I identified the voice, a slight hiss escaped from my mouth as I realized she was the deaf chef whose skills in cooking were extraordinary. This was the reason she could not hear me when I responded the first time she knocked. "I had heard you. I will be on my way to the dining room," I replied. "Alright, Ma,' she rep
YVONNE —It was nine o'clock in the night when I sneaked out of our matrimonial bed and was tiptoeing to leave the room. Everything was going smoothly until I mistakenly hit my leg on an object in the room, and it made such an alarming noise that Conan woke up.I could not see the object because I did not turn on the light, as I was trying not to wake him, but here we are. I had done the worst, and he woke up.However, as I realized that he had woken up, I pretended like I was not sneaking out and did as if I were trying to put on my sweater.Conan rolled his hand on the bed in search of me, but he couldn't, and then he turned on the light. "Oh, you are awake," he remarked."Yes, I am. The weather is so cold, so I decided to put on my sweater," I lied, knowing fully well that the weather was very cool and friendly."Oh, alright. Do and get to bed because I want to feel you," he responded, resting his head back on the pillow."Nonsense," I mumbled, pausing what I was doing and staring
Two Months Later SOPHIA — I was lying helplessly today on the corner of the gutter when a car ran across me, splashing me with dirty water from the potholes as usual. To my greatest surprise, the car halted and the driver alighted. It was a lady. I thought she was coming to scold me for not avoiding her car at first, but I was shocked to my bone marrow as I noticed it was Yvonne. "Oh my goodness! Sophia, is this you?" she screamed as she noticed I'm the person. She must be really happy. Tears streamed down my cheeks immediately because I concluded that she would make a joke of me, but the reverse was the case. She ran to me and helped me get up. "Yvonne, I'm really sorry for everything I have made you pass through in life," I apologized, crying. "It's okay, Sophia. That is not necessary right now. You need proper medical attention first. That is the most important thing," she said, opening the back door of the car for me to enter. "Get in the car so we can leave for the hospita
YVONNE —Three days later, the DNA result was finally out, and I was really happy about it. This was because it proved positive. Conan is actually the father of the kid—he is the father of all my kids. This means I will be going back to the pack. At least he could see his baby for the first time.Although I had agreed with Mr. Thomas on his request to go back to Conan, but I am still sceptical about it.I was still in my room robbing some body cream and powder on my baby when Amanda walked in."You are still worried about this. I thought he made a promise to you about your career. Didn't he?" Amanda asked me as she walked.It seems she had been eavesdropping from the door for a long time before she walked. Of course, for her to notice I was worried, she must have heard the disturbing murmuring I had been having with myself here for almost thirty minutes."Not really, dear. I was just having a debate over something that had... ""A debate?""Whatever, Amanda. Please just let me be. By
YVONNE —"Alright, Mommy, but remember your promise," Kiara stated, and they started leaving reluctantly.As soon as they left, I let out a deep sigh of relief. I could not believe that I had just managed to avoid the question Kiara asked without them suspecting I did not want to answer the question."By the time you would be back, I believe Amanda would be at home, so she could continue with you guys. It is only if you guys see me by then that you will be requesting an answer concerning Kiara's question," I mumbled.I picked up my phone and dialed Dr. Naty's phone number. I need to call her and inquire about our deal because she has yet to call me.As I dialed the number, the phone rang for a few seconds, and it ended without being picked up by someone."Maybe she is still busy with work in the hospital," I mumbled, dropping my phone.I went to the kitchen to get lunch ready for my kids because I did not know exactly when Amanda would be back for me to depend on her to prepare lunch
YVONNE —One Week LaterI was just returning from the hospital, and the thought of my discussion with Mr. Thomas kept flashing through my mind as I was driving.I could not believe that I had just agreed to his request. Only if he knew that I did that out of pressure."Well, the DNA test will conclude," I muttered.I had managed to reach out to Sophia and requested that she get me Dr. Naty's contact information after she objected to doing the task, saying that she is avoiding Conan because he would kill her upon seeing her. It was then that I told her to get me Dr. Naty's phone number so she could do the job for me.At first, Dr. Naty argued about doing the job, but when I told her the reward for the project, she quickly hopped on it.She told me the job would take her a week because of the procedures she was to follow, so Conan would not suspect anything wrong.However, it has been one week since I gave her the job, so I am waiting for her feedback today."I hope this works out well
YVONNE —But how am I going to do that when none of the two men are with me here in New York City?I thought for some time but could not come up with a valid idea."No. I need to do something fast," I muttered and stood up to leave for my room.As I walked into my room, I remembered that I had spoken with Sophia a few days ago. I recalled how I ended the call with her, promising to call her back only not to call as I said."I think she is the person who can work this out for me since she is in the pack. Yes, she is cunning and could do all sorts of dirty jobs," I mumbled. I picked up my phone to dial her number, and immediately, I realized that she told me she did not have a phone anymore. She only called me that day through a call agent.I decided to secretly get the blood samples of Conan and his hair to do the DNA test in the city without going to the pack just so I could be sure he is truly the father of my baby."So how do I reach this girl, for goodness sake?" I wondered.A few
YVONNE —"Girl, I could not even believe you did this to me in the office," I said to Amanda as I walked out to the sitting room, where she was busy watching movies."I'm really sorry, dear. For real, I can't believe I did that. It was as if a spell was cast on me. I could not even raise my gaze anymore until the moment he asked for my contact," she stated."Oh, you both exchanged phone numbers as well?" I asked, chuckling.I never even knew all that happened in the office. It was the moment I left for my office to get Mr. Thomas what he requested I should get him that they did that. I had thought he really needed those files, unaware that he was just trying to send me out of the office to excuse them just so they could have their moment."Maybe that was the reason you insisted on going with me just so you could perch yourself on him," I remarked, feeling infuriated. How could she do that to me? How could she stoop so low just for a man?
SOPHIA —I could not tell exactly what was wrong with me. The past two days have been hectic for me because I have been sick. I could not afford to go to any medical centre, though, because I had no money with me.The last money I had was the one I used to call Yvonne yesterday, but she refused to speak with me, forcing me to end the call with a promise to call back, but since yesterday until now, she has not called back.I visited the call centre yesterday at exactly five o'clock, which I told her, and I waited till eight o'clock in the evening, yet the call centre agent did not receive a call from Yvonne.I lay on the floor, inside the bush, crying. This was the only place I could stay during the day because there was no shelter I had other than the kiosk where I sleep at night. However, during the day, it is always in service to the owner because that is a coffee shop.Meanwhile, today was the day I had promised both Alpha Conan and the Lycan king to get Yvonne for them. However, I
YVONNE — As we were walking to the elevator, which would take us through the last floor where Mr. Thomas' office is located, my pulse began racing faster. I waved at my colleagues, who were greeting me. Some were excited to see me again after one month of being absent from work. "Dr. Yvonne, welcome back!" one of them remarked, waving her hand at me with her face filled with joy. "Thank you, dear. Unfortunately, I have not resumed work. I still have one more week to go," I replied, walking to her and giving her a warm embrace. She was among the people who made me wish not to ever leave this hospital due to how nice she had been to me. A few minutes later, we managed to walk out of the hall where the staff were, and we headed to the place where the elevators were. "I hope I have the confidence to say what I think is best for me inside his office," I muttered. We entered the elevator, ascending to the last floor. Amanda turned her gaze on me with a smile. "Now I know the reason yo
YVONNE — "Yvonne, are you not yet ready?" Amanda's voice sounded from the sitting room. "A few minutes, please. I'm almost done," I responded, hurrying to apply body cream to my body. Today was finally the long-awaited day on which I had agreed to meet with Mr. Thomas and give him feedback on what I had concluded. However, Amanda had requested to escort me just in case it got to a point where I could not defend my opinion and freely say what I had concluded, then agree to what would not sit well with me out of pressure. A few minutes later, I was finally done dressing. I stared at myself in the wall mirror in my room, and behold, I was satisfied with the way I looked. A smile of satisfaction crept onto my lips. I picked up my baby, carried him in the baby carrier, and walked out of the room, heading to the sitting room to meet Amanda. "How do I look?" I asked her as I walked out. "Absolutely stunning!" she yelled, and I blushed a little. "Well, let's get going. It's al
