They had a simple deal Lisa was a chef and Nicholas a renowned architect. Her job was simple, to come early on Saturdays and cook any dish of her choice for him. She didn't question why it was to be in large portions or why she had to leave at a set time. It was strictly business and she liked it that way. Nicholas was an attractive man but Lisa knew more than to mix business with pleasure. She didn't want to want to get involved with the greek god, however what she didn't know was that fate had other plans
View MoreWe finally arrived at our destination, a luxurious hotel that exceeded my expectations. I had no idea where we were, only that we had flown to Uganda, where Feddy's father resided. The grand house we settled into was one of his many opulent properties in the country.For the first time, I witnessed the extent of Feddy's family wealth. Every detail screamed luxury, from the crystal chandeliers to the manicured gardens.Life was good. We spent weeks without hearing from Nicholas, and I didn't bother contacting Olivia either. She couldn't reach me unless I initiated the call, and I wasn't interested.My focus shifted to building a new life with Josh and Feddy. They were already discussing relocating their business to Uganda, and I found solace in their company.Occasionally, I pondered Feddy's work ethic. Born with a silver spoon, he could have easily rested on his family's wealth. Yet, he was driven, always striving to succeed. His dedication impressed me.As we settled into our new lif
I washed my face and headed downstairs to the living room, where I found Josh and Feddy sitting comfortably. Despite my excitement at seeing them, I couldn't shake off the worry about their unexpected early morning visit.Good morning, guys! Hope you're both doing well," I greeted, trying to hide my concern beneath a cheerful tone.Feddy smiled warmly. "Hey, Lis, good morning! We're great, thanks."Josh simply nodded, his smile hinting at a more serious purpose for their visit.I took a seat across from them, my curiosity piqued. “Everything okay?"Feddy leaned forward, his expression turning serious. "We need to talk to you about something, Lisa."Josh's eyes locked onto mine, his gaze intense. "It's important."My heart began to beat faster, anticipation building.Lis, we came to see Nicholas, is he in. Feddy asked. No he's not. What happened? I asked and Feddy cleared the air that Nicholas had invested in their company."I didn't know Nicholas invested in Chapel Hill Dehan," I said
As the months passed, the news of my pregnancy was no longer a novelty. My growing belly was a constant reminder of the life-changing events that had unfolded. However, for Nicholas, the consequences of my pregnancy were dire. The penalty for his supposed transgression was clear: forfeiting his rightful place as the next alpha.Nicholas fought tirelessly to maintain his position within the pack, but uncertainty continued to plague him.I could not help but recall our first encounter, when Nicholas was just a stranger. I was a humble cook, living a simple life, and the idea of being his mate seemed absurd. Especially since he was a revered figure in the wolf community, wielding immense power and authority.But now, Nicholas's actions sparked terror. He continued to slaughter people in Parkland, shedding blood in his quest for answers. The pregnancy that should have brought joy and celebration instead ignited a deadly struggle for power and dominance.In human culture, pregnancy is a ce
I sought out Olivia's room, needing a trusted confidante. This was only my second time entering her quarters since we'd lived together. I took a deep breath and revealed my secret."Olivia, I'm pregnant."Her eyes widened, and she let out a startled scream."For whom exactly, Mrs. Lisa?" she asked.Her question cut deep, exposing my inner turmoil."That's the problem – I don't know," I admitted, tears welling up. "I spent one night with Nicholas, but I was asleep. I don't know if something happened."Memories flooded my mind – waking up with an inexplicable sense of unease, feeling violated but unsure."And Nicholas has never...we've never been intimate, not once in all these years," I continued, desperation creeping into my voice. "I'm lost, Olivia. I don't know what to think or who the father could be."Olivia's expression softened, concern etched on her face."We'll figure this out together," she promised.Perhaps, together, we could unravel the mystery surrounding my pregnancy.Ol
As I persisted in checking on Josh, I simultaneously kept a vigilant eye on the unfolding situation at Nicholas's mansion. Olivia's cautionary words had proven disturbingly accurate, and I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease. The nights grew increasingly turbulent, with the haunting sounds of wolf fights and anguished cries echoing through the darkness outside. The blood-curdling screams pierced the stillness, leaving me shaken and on edge.It was unmistakable: the tensions between Nicholas and Queen Alpha had reached a critical boiling point. The conflict, long simmering beneath the surface, was now maturing, threatening to unleash its full fury upon the world.I sensed the weight of the impending storm, feeling trapped in the midst of this ancient, supernatural struggle. Nicholas's world, once a refuge, had transformed into a powder keg of primal instincts and unbridled power. The very foundations of their society seemed to be crumbling, and I feared being caught in the crossfi
Three days had passed since my return, and Josh's presence still lingered in my mind. He had taken to calling me daily, checking in on me with endearing frequency. His thoughtfulness brought a perpetual smile to my face, and memories of our time together continued to resurface.With Nicholas immersed in his business meetings, I found myself seeking companionship elsewhere. Olivia, our warm and wise cook, became my confidante. We would sit together in the living room, sharing stories and laughter, creating a sense of family bonding.As we chatted, Olivia's kind eyes and gentle smile made me feel at ease. I cherished these moments, finding solace in her listening ear."Lisa, how was your stay with Josh?" Olivia asked one afternoon, her curiosity genuine.I hesitated, unsure how much to reveal. "It was wonderful," I said finally, a soft smile spreading across my face.Olivia's expression hinted at understanding, but she asked no more questions.Olivia's eyes sparkled with unspoken questi
As the clock struck midnight, a subtle yet palpable shift occurred in the atmosphere surrounding Josh and me. Before I knew it, I found myself enveloped in his warm embrace, his arms wrapped snugly around me. Without hesitation, I pulled him closer, our lips meeting in a deep, passionate kiss. The lines between friendship and something more blurred, and we surrendered to the moment.The night unfolded with an unbridled intensity, our connection transcending the boundaries of friendship. We lost ourselves in each other, the world outside receding into the background.However, as dawn broke, and the morning light crept into the room, reality set in. I woke up with a gnawing sense of discomfort, guilt, and regret. The memories of our passionate night now filled me with unease.I couldn't shake the feeling that I had crossed a line, ignoring Josh's initial offer of the guest house and instead choosing to stay in his room. My conscience whispered reminders of our friendship, now potentiall
As the evening drew to a close, Josh escorted me to my room, culminating a delightful night spent laughing and reminiscing in the living room. I couldn't help but notice the stark contrast between his past and present life. His apartment was a testament to his success – tastefully furnished and impeccably designed.Since arriving at his place, I had been nestled in his room, surrounded by the comforts of his personal space. Now, as he led me to my designated room, I felt a sense of tranquility wash over me. The atmosphere was nothing short of breathtaking.The air conditioner's gentle hum provided a soothing welcome, enveloping me in its refreshing coolness as I stepped inside. The room was a haven, a serene oasis that seemed to envelop me in its peacefulness. I smiled inwardly, sensing Josh's thoughtfulness in preparing this sanctuary.Josh noticed my admiration and smiled knowingly. I nodded to myself, acknowledging the evident care he had put into creating this idyllic space. My min
As morning broke, I chose to maintain a serene demeanor, defying Nicholas's expectations. Instead of complaining, I greeted the day with a warm smile and embarked on my routine activities. My morning juggling session was a perfect way to clear my mind and shake off any lingering tension.After returning home, I refreshed myself with a rejuvenating shower and joined Nicholas for breakfast. As we sat together, I casually mentioned my desire to visit Josh, an old friend who had once shared our home before mysteriously disappearing.Nicholas's reaction surprised me - rather than objecting, he seemed genuinely pleased. I recalled how Josh's friend, Feddy, had helped me reconnect with him, and my curiosity about Josh's well-being grew."I'd love to visit Josh today," I said, gauging Nicholas's response.To my surprise, he nodded enthusiastically. "That sounds great! I'm sure Josh would appreciate the visit."I felt a surge of excitement, eager to catch up with Josh and learn about his journ
Steering my car toward the huge brown gates, I blast the horn to announce my presence and wait. In the few seconds it takes for the gate to unravel I appraise myself in the rearview mirror and adjust the brown strands that fall over my face from the wind as I drive. As expected it didn't take up to a minute for me to be granted entry and so I let go of the brakes and drove into the vast compound which housed a beautiful house. It's a state-of-the-art storey building structured in an L shape with the floor above comprising only glass. On my first day here I thought it was a show house only to discover later on that it was indeed his residence. Nicholas Damien Lazarus, 32, handsome, tall, attractive, intelligent and stinking rich is an architect who has made a name for himself outside his aristocratic family. The Lazarus were known to be from old money and owned most of the properties here in Los Angeles. I know you must be wondering why I was in the house of such a renowned man, wel...
