Dame’s POVMy wolf felt restless as I pranced the room back and forth. Nothing seems to be forthcoming, leaving me in a more anxious state. I wonder what is taking Quadrick so long to get feedback from the meeting he attended on my behalf.“Easy, dear Alpha, you will dig a hole in the ground at this rate.” The girl I had picked up for the night drawled, holding up a smile on her.“Oh, you think you are funny?” I glowered at her, “Get the hell out now!” I ordered.She scampered off quickly leaving me to myself. I ruffled my hair in exasperation. This has been my routine in the last few years. My life and everything that I have worked for spiraled down the drain like it wasn’t decades of sheer hard work. Just one mistake and people couldn’t forget. They lied about the internet forgetting. My entire life seems to revolve around that tiny mobile.I had thought the investors that left then after my scandal with Jean were told to everyone who cared to listen, that it wouldn’t take long to g
Mark’s POVThe light burned my eyes as I struggled to get up from the bed. I really should stay away from alcohol. It messes me up every damn time, but at the same time, it is the only means for me to get my mind off the many things bothering me. Checking my phone, Amber has dropped so many messages, the sight already makes my head spin.Just like my dad said, I saw the red flag and still ignored it. I needed to fill up the space of being left alone. Maybe I should have learned to live with myself first. A singsong laughter filled the air as I got off the bed. Wondering what was going on, I looked out my window. Kate was in the pool with my father laughing at something he was saying while he sat on the edge throwing water at her. Isn’t it too early to be out in the pool?I sucked my teeth at the sight. I don’t know what I feel towards her, but I am never relaxed to see her. Something about her just pulls me off.“Maybe you are concerned that she is closer to your father than you will
Kate’s POVJake’s loud strained cough woke me up. I scratched at my eyes sleepily and when the sound came again, I practically jumped out of the bed rushing towards the bathroom to know what was wrong. He was on his fours, bent over the bathtub. I peeked at something that appeared to be blood from behind but he opened up the faucet before I could be sure of what I had seen. Placing a hand on his back, I rubbed at it gently. “What is the matter, Jake? Do I need to call your doctor?” He managed to stand up himself and shook his head. “Not at all, dear. I am fine. Just had a belly rumble. Must be the food I ate. Something towards indigestion.” “I should get you a pill for that,” I said attempting to leave for the kitchen. He held me back. “No, please. I am fine.” I squinted my eyes in suspicion and placed a palm on his forehead. It was warm, showing no sign of worry. “Alright, if you say so. How about some warm milk?” Jake looked like he wanted to refuse me, but he thought otherwi
Kate’s POV“So won’t you say anything?” Karen asked, her eyes piercing me like needles. “What?” I retorted. She rolled her eyes. “Come on, Kate. You know what I am trying to get out of you. How are you doing? Don’t think I didn’t notice the death glare Mark sent your way as we headed out. I know you act like you can handle it all, but then the fact still remains that you have a heart that requires nurturing. So talk to me.” One of the t
Mark’s POV“How did this happen, Mark? Why did you let her put you into this mess? What is wrong with you?” My dad hollered in a shaky voice. I winced, shrugging slightly. “Dad, you never should have resorted to paying her. What do you take Amber for? She is a leech and won’t leave so easily. Why do you think she took so much time to sign off the divorce papers?”He put up his well-known stubborn gaze. “There is no going back from this. I am not going to allow some brat to take away all of your hard work and rip off your name.”
Kate’s POVMy paws thawed the ground like heat-melting wax. Anger surged through my furs and I just wanted to sink my canines into something. I do not know why Jake is unable to see through the facade Amber is putting up. Yes, she is signing a divorce paper. But that doesn’t hold back the leash she has on Mark. Her claws are sunk deep into him and I do not think he would ever be free. I don’t feel right about it and my wolf feels the same. I raced around the woods one last time before getting a grip on myself. I headed back to the house to get started on the management course that I had recently taken up. I am doing everything I can to make sure I am not lacking in any way. Having the right sk
Mark’s POV“Sir, there is someone in your office.” My assistant, Desire informed me. I raised a suspicious brow. “Who? Is it my father?” She swallowed hard, showing that I might not like the next thing she was about to say. “Miss Am..mber.” Sucking my teeth in annoyance, I cursed under my breath storming into the office only to be left rooted on the spot like a fool.
Jean’s POVMy eyes laced heavily with tears as I stared at the phone screen. Dame would be the end of me. The person I hired to help keep a close eye on him just sent me pictures of him hanging around another model. I will gorge her eyes out if she ever crosses my path. “What is going on with you?” Mum asked from the side startling me. I jumped putting a hand to my chest. “Mum! Why are you creeping around like that? What is wrong with you?” “Have you gone bana
