DAMAGED BUT NOT BROKEN CHAPTER 22
VIXEN/ROSE POVA week has past since my first ever murder and yet the fear and panic from that same night still cuts deep.I can barely sleep, or rest.Food and alcohol have been my most recent companions.I have never experienced anything like this. I thought I was depressed before but right now I feel like just ending it all.' Maybe dieing and being with my children is the only way I can finally be free'_ I think as all sorts of suicidal thoughts cross my mind, before I hear my phone buzzing.Turns out it was just my best friend Brenda calling." Hi beautiful" I pretend to be happy.The last thing I want to do is let her sense that I am depressed.She wouldn't never stop nagging me if that happens." I am at your door step" She says simply and hangs up the call.I quickly rise to my feet, dust myself off and try tidying up alittle before running to the door post." Welcome beautiful. What a pleasure surprise" I say with a fake smile "You didn't tell me you were coming" " You reck

VIXEN/ ROSE POVRoman, Roman, Roman!!!What a puzzling man.One minute he is all grateful and next he is a scumbag, who goes about paying people to spy on me.Normally I don't like two faced bastards, but there is this something that keeps drawing me closer, like I was meant to be with him or something.It is like no matter how annoying he gets, being with him still manages to make me less depressed.' I wonder what he will do next'_ I think before hearing a knock at my door.I rush over thinking it would be Brenda, but to my greatest surprise, it happens to be the last person I want to see now, Roman." Boss......... Good morning....." I greet with a abject, confused smile." Good morning Rose" He replies emotionlessly as his eyes sweeps me from head to toe.His stare is kind of uncomfortable, since I am still in my translucent blue night dress." I will like to have a word" He informs with a sexy smile" Really!. In that case please come in" I offer, holding the door for him." Ther

DARRICK POV" Wrong! wrong! wrong!" I yell in frustration, sending the pile of paper work on my table flying.Nothing seems to be working.My company faces one problem after the other, one lose after another.Last week was an incident with contaminated wine and today my sugar cane plantation just caught on fire.Someone is out to get me.That's the only logical explanation.I mean there's no way in hell that my sugar plantation just caught on fire.I mean, it's not even the dry season, so how is that even possible.Or could it be that the moon goddess is punishing me for betraying my mate, and sending her to her untimely demise.Yes, yes!!!.That makes sense, that's the only logical explanation to this dilemma." You know throwing a tantrum is not going to solve the problem right?" Sapphire's annoying voice echoes a few centimeter behind me.Speaking of bad luck.Why am I cursed with someone like her as a wife.Just seeing her face every morning infuriating me.To think I have been ob

VIXEN/ROSE POV" Name your price" He saysSuch arrogance.Roman just doesn't seem to stop amazing me.Everyone knows you can't repay a debt of life saving, talkless of doing it with money.The least he could do is say thank you, but knowing the arrogant Roman Rogriguez, he would rather have his tongue pulled out than do something as rediculious as that." You want to pay me for saving your life?" I doubt, still unable to comprehend his former statement." Yes, name your price" He says with a proud smirk" I'm sorry. Do you really think you can pay me for saving your life?" I question, displeased by his lack of manners." I don't see why not. I don't want to feel indebted to you anymore than I already am. So I will appreciate it, if you simply name your price" He informs still with his arrogant demeanor, sending a shock wave of anger coursing through my veins." You know, a simply thank you is all I need" I inform with a bitter taste in my mouth.Being honest I do need the money but I

VIXEN/ROSE POV" Stupid, stupid, stupid.I am such a fool" I lament hitting my head against a wall. Not hard enough to cause a bruise but strong enough that I can feel a bit of pain.Today, I had the chance to change my life." Name your price" He saysThat would have changed my life.But noooo.... I had to let my stupid pride engulf me.I should have put up with his disrespect, maybe that way I would at least have a job, or some money to fall back to.Instead, here I am still stuck in this stupid cindicate with an angry boss Roman hovering over my shoulder, not to mention Don Williams, he is so going to kill me..Rule number one, " Never make a mistake.

ROMAN POVIt was now already 8:30 p.m., and yet the burning embarrassment Rose gave me still lingered.Here I am, trying to relax amidst three very attractive women, and yet her annoying chubby face envelops my mind like a raging storm.Until now, I wasn't sure of what I felt for her. I thought of it as lust. I thought it was my Lycan playing love pranks on me, due to his excess longing for his supposed better half. Or perhaps, but now... now... I am sure.It is neither. I hate her. I hate her face, her body, curves, smiles. I hate her guts, and most of all, I especially hate the fact that the moon goddess decided to humiliate me by reducing me to the level of an Omega.Not just an Omega, but a divorcee, a baby mama of three, and a notorious slut. One thing is clear: she is practically an open gate for any man who has a boner. The embarrassment: me, Lycan King Roman, settling for slaves. I would rather die than settle for that harlot."She did you good," Landon, one of my best friends

No..... He couldn't. He might be rude, arrogantly and thoughtless but he's not some crazy maniac who will willing make a bet to do something as dispeakable as this'_ I try convincing myself but fail miserably.As the dawn of a new day draws near the anticipation for my new job brings to hit me and I am forced to turn in an hour early.I arrived at his office at exactly 6:30am thinking that he would be impressed when he would walk in to see me, an hour later but how wrong I was.I enter the elevator leading to the 4 flow
