" You're fire, get out of my office" I command nonchalantly as I scroll through my laptop. I have had enough of Vera, my drug merchant. She has become so incompetent this pass week that I feel she has to pay the price, despite her 5 years of good service. " Boss please I need this job. My son is hospitalized and ..." She says before I cut in " Not my business. You lost goods ward $100,000. You should be greatful that I let you live. You have a month to provide my drugs or you will pay with your life" I threaten " Please boss. I don't know where I could get such a large sum. Please give me another chance, I will make it up to you " She persist in her pointless persuade at convincing me to reconsider her case. Women are such pretenders, but I know too much to let her or any of them play with my intelligence. " Kelvin, throw her out" I command Kelvin, my delta who is standing next to me. " Right away Alpha" He answers before pulling her out. " Alpha please don't do this to me" She beseeches me, but I pay her no yields while she is still being dragged out. I then return to my work like nothing happened, only to be distracted by a familiar masculine voice. " You really shouldn't let go of a trusty worker like Vera" Mr Williams, my right hand man, personal adviser and uncle. " Uncle, I didn't see you there. Have you been there long?" I ask ignoring his former statement. " Vera has been an important part of this cindicate, you can't just go ahead and fire her over one tiny mistake" He informs as he takes a seat opposite to mine. " A mistake that cost me a hundred thousand dollars" I inform angrily " And she has earned you millions" He reminds. " You know, I don't tolerate incompetence. My number one rule is never make mistakes" I remind equally pissed " You are making a mistake. Roman no one is perfect" He lies " But you are wrong uncle. I am perfect" I inform looking him straight in the eyes " That's where you're wrong son. You're not" He informs " I don't have time for this drama. What do you want uncle. I am sure you didn't come all this way to play my conscience" I say nonchalantly " Oh yes, I almost forgot. One of the lorry carrying your goods got into a huge accident" He informs " What?. How much worth of drugs did I lose?. I hope that stupid driver didn't snitch on me to the police. Such incompetence all around me" I yell shuffling my laptop off my desk and stand infuriated. " Relax. I am talking about your legitimate business. You do remember own a shoe company, right?" He reminds, jogging my memory. " Why didn't you say so. I will take care of it. I hope the goods are still in good condition, or else that driver is going to rod in jail" I say with a sigh before retaining my seat. I then quickly lets out a breathe of relief, I didn't know I was holding till now. Don't get me wrong I love my shoe company, but not as much as I love this cindicate. " Heartless as ever. Shouldn't you be more concerned about the well being of your employees. Employees are what makes a business flourish" He informs " And my money is what keeps them fed" I remind nonchalantly " We agree to disagree on that son" He informs " Oh yes I almost forgot. Your daughter Claire wishes to spend some more time with her father" Claire is my 5 year old daughter with my choosen mate and, ex wife Sia. We were happily married for over 8 years, or so I thought ontill I caught her in bed with my cousin Kane. We go a divorce 4 years ago and since then I haven't laid eyes on her, she doesn't even bother to check up on our child. Guess it's true what they say, " You can't love who you don't love". I gave her everything and yet she couldn't bring herself to love me. She scattered my heart and for that reason I will never forgive her. I hate her, I hate her with everything in me. " But we see each other everyday" I remind nonplussed " It's not enough. She claims you never have dinner with her, and you mother. Is it because you're avoiding your mother or is it because of the absence of a woman?" He questions. Again with the wife issue does he ever stop. " I have told you already. I am not ready to get a new wife anytime soon, and about Flora, I don't consider her as my mother" I inform sincerely. In all honesty, I hate talking about that witch, Flora. She abandoned me when I was just a toddler for her lover and when he dumped her, she came running back. For what?. Forgiveness. What a joke. " Yes, especially since you have sex toys and maids everywhere" He says mockingly " Uncle, please don't talk about my sexuality. I will give my daughter more attention" I inform in a effort to end the conversation " What about your mom?" He questions " I have no mother" I inform simply with a neutral demeanor. ##########Related chapters

ROMAN POVUncle Williams and all the unnecessary stress he puts me through and for what?. Just to prove some worthless ideology of his. Every day is another opportunity for him to spur out one worthless proverb or another.

In his words exactly "It's the connections that matter".Connections that we are never going to need. Our stupid meeting took place in the wood.

DARRICK POV I am sure you must have heard of the saying that all that glitters is not gold, or that the punishment for sin is internal torment. A torment that consumes one from within without warning. What could be worse than that?. Maybe the feeling of guilt of a half broken soul. I hate myself for what I did to my own mate, and I am sure Luke, my wolf hates me even more. What was I thinking pulling a stunt like this, with the woman I love. This is all mom's stupid idea. She said everything would be fine, all I had to do was convince Sapphire that she was the one I loved, and I would go behind her back to beg and explain things to the love of my life, Vixen. I didn't know it was going to lead to the untimely demise of my two babies and endanger her life. ' If I only knew, I would never have done something as stupid as this' I lament before spotting Sam from a distance, heading my way with a disturbing frown and blood covered T-shirt. " Sam, where is she?.

She was just a few years old back then and nobody wanted anything to do with her. At first I too didn't want anything to do with a fat ugly wolfless wolf with creepy ears but when she started capturing the attention of Darrick I just had to befriend her so as to be close to the man I loved. I did everything for him to notice me but he never did, because of her. " Ma'am, I am back" Sam voice booms from behind, pulling me out of my thoughts. " How did it go?" I ask with a serious face as I circle him in a nemesising manner. " She is dead and buried just like you ordered" He assures "Good" I say before grabbing hold of an envelope on my

Yesterday was horrible, I had to wait for hours in the hospital for that chick to be revived and still couldn't get any sleep as the scene of her passing kept replaying in my mind. That woman is messing with my mind and I hate the fact that I can't help it. Yeah so what if she isn't my mate, I am not supposed to crave her presence like this, or is my attachment to her is due to the fact that she has striking resemblance to my ex, Sia.

ROMAN POV Uncle has been more like my role model for long as I can remember, since my parents died. I ask his advice about everything, but today I find myself dumbstruck by his shameless display of lust.How can he shamelessly ask that woman to be his mistress like it is nothing. My head is a mess, not just that I am disgusted. I always thought he was faithful to aunt or that even if he were cheating on her, he would have the decency to hide it from others and probably do it with an older woman, not some young chick in her early 20s. Uncle has got some explaining to do, and I am not leaving till I get to the bottom of this. " You're still here?. I thought you left" Uncle says nonchalantly as he enters his office "You wouldn't believe what just happened. My....." He adds with excitement but I cut in " You mistress just woke" I cut in bitterly.I am highly disappointed with him for stealing my unwanted mate from me." What??" He ask confused " I'm talking about that shameless di
