Hiding the Alpha's Heir Chapter 13: Never Again
"A week before the party. I am hoping it will be finished.""Of course, my lord. I shall pay heed to that."I sighed in relief when it seemed that Desmond wasn't rushing to finish his tuxedo. But that didn't mean that Madam Ibanez would allow us not to have overtime work again. She would rush us for certain to finish it as soon as possible just as she would always do to us.Then, she wouldn't even dare to pay our overtime working hours."One more thing."I glanced at Desmond when he spoke. His eyes were focused on Madam Ibanez as if he was trying to charm her. I scoffed silently. That's right... That was how you charmed the courtesan and Hazel, didn't you? That suddenly made me feel bitter as I remembered the past.I suddenly wanted to get away from this place."Yes, my lord? What is it?""I need a dress that I need to bestow to someone special to me."I simply took the macaroon and ate it, not minding what they were talking about but I felt my stomach churning upside down for some re
Hiding the Alpha's Heir Chapter 14: Do Not Pry
Things had gotten busier as soon as we had more clients than usual. That was also a time we had to take shifts and have overtime work as well.I came home late again and saw on the table that Sander prepared for my supper. Sighing, I leaned on my seat, trying to relax as I thought about this week. I really had not enough rest and had no time to spend with my son again."I need to change my job..." I murmured while leaning to the window as I silently heard the soft croak of the crickets.I glanced at my hands. I used to be good in combat for living as a rogue before. And now, I couldn't even dare to bring myself to hurt other people just to survive. It was all different now because I had a son.I wouldn't resort to violence just to survive. Though Sander and I were still considered rogues, my life from before was indeed different right now.For the rest of seven years, I worked here at Madam Ibanez's tailoring shop. There was a time when I had come to the point that I put my son in the

"Unfortunately, His Lordship did not like the outcome of his tuxedo.""What?!" I slammed the table upon hearing Sir Elron had returned this day after Desmond's tuxedo had been finished the other day and was delivered yesterday."Seraphina..." Niscia halted me from almost making a commotion. "You need to calm down," she said softly, placing her hands on my shoulders."No..." I shook my head. "I cannot possibly calm down from what I was hearing right now..." I said through gritted teeth. "We spent one week and five days just so we can finish his tuxedo! And he would tell us that his master doesn't like the outcome? Outrageous!""Seraphina..." I removed the hands of Niscia from my shoulders. I just couldn't help getting annoyed hearing this from Desmond's butler.That son of a bitch... He had the nerve to say that he didn't like how we sewed for his tuxedo? Damn him! He must go to hell!"What is the commotion here?"We all turned our heads when Madam Ibanez who had just arrived from her
Hiding the Alpha's Heir Chapter 16: River Bank
As soon as I agreed that I would personally make Desmond's another tuxedo, Sir Elron told me the conditions I must do."First, we will fetch you at the public park at six in the morning using the provided carriage by Lord Verlice. Second, you are going to work from six in the morning and five in the afternoon. You are going to work seven days a week so you can finish the tuxedo. We will provide your meal allowance or if you want to stay where Lord Verlice is staying, we will provide you accommodation.""I thought he is rushing to have it finished? Shouldn't I take another seamstress with me? I cannot possibly do all the work since I need an assistant to do that."Sir Elron smiled. "There is no need for you to take someone with you. Yours is enough. I shall be your helper and Lord Verlice has people to help you as well." That made me silent from what he said. "So, are we agreeing on the terms now?""I want your master to stay away from me," I added. "I do not want him to keep on harass
Hiding the Alpha's Heir Chapter 17: Client, Not Employer
Just as Sir Elron said, I waited at the public park for the carriage. I was surprised when I arrived there early and the carriage was also there. Even Sir Elron was also here."Greetings, Sir Elron," I said, curtsying before him."Greetings, Lady Seraphina," he greeted, smiling. He opened the carriage door for me. "The carriage is ready. We must go now."I was hesitant at first because I noticed the carriage I saw right now was the same carriage Desmond and I used whenever we traveled to the palace to attend the meeting. It felt nostalgic when we used to do the deed here.I castigated myself and felt my cheeks flaring up in embarrassment before I decided to mount on the carriage. I secretly pinched myself for daring to remember those moments we had together. It was all over now.It didn't take long before we arrived at the hotel establishment where Desmond was staying. Sir Elron got down first before he offered his hand to me. I gladly accepted it as he helped me to get down from dism
Hiding the Alpha's Heir Chapter 18: Old Times
"Is he always out every morning and comes back this afternoon?" I asked while I was sewing the fabrics.It was already my second day working here at Desmond's hotel and I have a helper. It was Sir Elron who was also dependable on helping me to sew. I was surprised that he could also sew as well. I used the pattern parts from the time Niscia and I made Desmond's first tuxedo so it was easy on my side-cut fabrics and I didn't need to retake Desmond's measurement.Though even though it was only my second day, I noticed that Desmond usually went out a lot and would later be back this afternoon."Are you talking about Alpha Desmond?" I nodded as an answer while he was busy pouring some tea into my cup. I thanked him and managed to smell the black tea. "Indeed. He is busy working on something at the nearby town.""I see." I nodded my head, didn't want to ask some further questions as I didn't want to pry about Desmond's life. I just wanted to avoid knowing what life he has right now.We con
Hiding the Alpha's Heir Chapter 19: Just This Once
Desmond's eyes were blazing in anger as soon as each second had passed by. He didn't bat an eye that he had slapped me."Rejecting me is your best decision?" He sneered. "If that is so, then why did you even accept our mate bond?! You even married me, Seraphina!"I gritted my teeth. "I later found out that you were not the best decision I ever made, Desmond! That was why I left you. I left you because I cannot take you for being an absurd moron! You should not have become my mate!"I was too hurt by that time he knew that I was infertile and did not even dare to tell me. He consulted someone to be a surrogate mother thinking that he was helping me yet he did not realize he should have been truthful from the very start.Then, the things he did by sleeping with other women... I would never forget those memories that slapped me with the reality that Desmond would dare to choose to hurt me over and over.I hissed in pain when he had my hair with his hand, gripping it so tight so he could
Hiding the Alpha's Heir Chapter 20: Spitting Image
"Just drop me here to the plaza," I said meekly when we were in the town where my flat was located."I'd love to escort you to where you are living, seraphim."I froze and glared at him as I could feel my heart pounding so fast. Blood rushed to my face, frightened at his words."No, thank you, Lord Verlice," I said calmly, not wanting him to know that what he said was making me nervous. "I'd rather go there alone," I said coldly.Desmond stretched out a smirk. If I was still living with him and didn't reject our mate bond, I could have sworn that I would get to be swooned by that kind of smile he was having right now."Now, now. Do not be so cold to me, Seraphina." He leaned forward and took my hand. I felt shivers down my spine when he brought my hand to his lips. "It is not as if we did not share the same bed earlier. Hmm?" he said, teasing."Because you forced me to!" I said through gritted teeth and took back my hand."Oh?" He had an amusement smile smeared on his lips. He took my
