Jean’s POV
Rubbing at my belly anxiously, I paced the living room back and forth. Mum wasn’t having it.
“Can you just sit your butt somewhere? What pregnant lady has the strength to keep moving around without caution?” She questioned.
“I am not exactly moving around without caution. It is a slow walk.” I gritted. “And I wouldn’t be in this situation if your supposed boy had given an apt report of the job given to him. Dame keeps giving me suspicious glances, neither has the news of Kate’s downfall reached me. Tell me exactly how I am supposed to be c
Dame’s POV“I am so sorry, Kate,” I muttered helplessly. She eventually made it to work and explained to me how Jean came to her to boast of her involvement in the attack that took place. I should have known that witch Jean had something to do with Kate getting hurt. She is no doubt the most likely person to wish for her disappearance. I rubbed slowly at my forehead feeling an intense urge to snuff life out of her wherever she was. No wonder I tried hard to trace the culprit that attacked her and got nothing. Whoever he is, they made sure he would never be an easy person to find. Kate shrugged and held my gaze with so many emotions emitting in her eyes. “I knew there wouldn’t be rosy moments for me coming back here to be with you. All the same, I didn’t expect myself to be in such danger so soon. I think you should go back to Jean. It is wrong for me to want her place at first. Anyone would have reacted the way she did if they were in her shoes. I probably would have.” “Hell no. T
Dame’s POVIt took a while for my eyes to adjust to the chaos. For a moment I thought my house was on fire. The very house that I had sorted the design myself after tearing it down from the old design to create a masterpiece. My legs wobbled as I breathed hard in a hide to get a hold of myself. Behind the raving fire was Jean tossing things into it to make it blow more. My mouth was agape in utmost shock when I looked down at one of the things she threw and it happened to be one of my expensive wristwatches. Wait a minute, this bitch is actually burning my stuff. My concern was replaced with anger. I stomped my feet towards her angrily. Without thinking I slapped her hard across the face. Everyone around gasped loudly. Jean put a hand to her face and before I could strike another blow she ran off. “Have you all gone mad? Get some water and quench the fire, you stupid peasants. How dare you all just stand by and watch her make a mess of my things? You had better have that dead in a
Kate’s POVI sucked my teeth in irritation as I stared at my wristwatch again. Dame should be sacked right this minute and told never to step foot into the company ever again. He is never available when he is needed. We were supposed to have a meeting with investors today and he knew just how important this is. But what can I expect of someone like him who is so engrossed with himself and cares nothing about others? Myself and a few heads of departments plus Lance have been seated like morons for minutes and he is still unreachable. I am still reeling from his attempt to touch me in his office over an hour ago that I am quite in the mood to smack his face and talk sense into his numb skull.
Jean’s POVI woke up with an intense ache in the side of my head. As I managed to sit up, someone rushed to my side to hand me a glass of water. I drank it with relish before adjusting my eyes to the room. “Beta Lance,” I muttered in a croaky voice. “Hi there.” He smiled tightly. “How are you feeling?” I sat up gently feeling aches all over my body and for a moment my face felt stiff. “I feel wrecked.”&nbs
Kate’s POV“He is nothing short of a beast. I can’t believe Jean went through all of that in his hands. What was she thinking?” I ranted, taking a swig at my can of soda. It seemed like the only thing I could let settle in my belly. Lois crunched on his bowl of chips. “I know this might sound cruel of me, but I can’t feel sorry for her. She got herself into this. If only you know how much trouble she causes herself. Jean would go around the pack like a maniac looking for her husband. She is practically obsessed with him.” The sight of the two of them in such hea
Mark’s POV“Get your fucking hands off me!” Rayna blurted as I slammed the door shut. I pushed her backwards breathing hard. “Have you lost your mind? What the hell do you think you are doing? Do you plan to ruin my family?” She cackled like a maniac. “What stupid family? A family on their way to commit incest.” “Shut the hell up! Just shut that trap that you call a mouth! I have been trying to put up with you but you do everything to ruin it. What
Dame’s POVOpening my eyes felt like pure torture. The room appeared to blur at first before it cleared out. My wolf growled underneath. I tried to sit up and my body moved painfully and slowly like I had been hit by a load of brick. Adjusting myself properly, I let out a slow exhale. It took me a moment to notice Lance sitting with his legs crossed on the couch opposite the bed. My throat scratched painfully as I managed to swallow some spittle. He stood up and poured me a glass of water. Drinking it slowly, I cleared off the cloud in the throat. “How long have I been unconscious?” I
Jean’s POV“I allowed your mother in. Ensure she doesn’t do something as silly as making any recording of anything. I have had just about enough of every one of you today.” Lance stated with evident irritation in his voice.I nodded slowly, avoiding his eyes. “Thank you.” He didn’t respond and left the room. Moments like this make me realize that I have no one to lean on except my mother. Since the packhouse is still on lockdown. I had to beg Lance to allow her into the house while promising she wouldn’t go overboard. The maids and guards are whining subtly
