His Fifth Mate 30
Chapter 30Clarissa POVMy day at the office was almost boring since I had no one to talk to. Miguel has been acting weird since he returned from the marketing department since morning, and I don't even know what is wrong with him."Are you ok?" I had asked him when he came inside the office, sweating profusely, but he told me he was fine, and I thought I should let it go because I didn't want to look like I'm forcing things out of him.My phone suddenly starts ringing, and I check the screen to see that it's from Charity."Hey, what's up?" I utter as soon as I answer the call, but the voice I hear from the other end makes me freeze on the spot."Clarissa... I'm dying... Please come home," My heart sinks into my stomach, and my hand suddenly starts trembling as I hold the phone to my ear, waves of fear spark through me."What happened, Charity? Are you ok? Talk to me, where are you?" I spring up to my feet as I rush her with questions, but silence reigns on the other end, which means

Chapter 31Clarissa POV "Why didn't you tell me you were leaving the office, Clarissa? I was worried about you," Miguel asks as he holds my hands, but I just sigh briefly. It was almost 8pm, and he dropped by my place on his way back home from the office."I'm sorry. There was an emergency," I reply to him, and he sighs briefly."Don't leave like that without telling me, ok? You know it's dangerous out here, and you shouldn't be roaming around all alone without anyone by your side," He utters, and I slowly nod my head."Are you ok? You didn't seem ok back at the office today. Is everything alright?" I ask him, and he stares at me for seconds before he shakes his head, but it's obviously written all over him that everything is not fine. Something is bothering him, but sadly, he doesn't trust me enough to tell me what is wrong with him."Hmm. I need to go back now. You should sleep early, and rest as much as you can. I will pick you up on my way to the office tomorrow. Good night, and

Chapter 32Clarissa POVMy day was spent horribly since I couldn't even concentrate at work. I got a call from Miguel when I got to work this morning, and he told me he had something to take care of, so he wouldn't be present in the office, which made my day more boring.After spending the whole day behind my desk, it was finally closing time, and just before I walk out of my office to head home, my phone suddenly starts ringing, and I stop to answer the call."Hey, it's me, Alex," his familiar voice sounds from the other end, and realization dawn on me that I haven't really thanked him for the favor he did for me yesterday. My mind has been so occupied with so many thoughts that I couldn't even think of anything else."Hey," I reply to him as I walk briskly toward the elevator."So, what do you say about the ice cream date tonight? You can't say no," His voice sounds from the other end, and I sigh briefly. I don't know why he is insisting that we go on this date, but I just hope he's

Chapter 33Clarissa POV Next dayWaking up this morning with my body aching as if I was ganged beaten in my sleep, I groan tiredly as I toss on the bed. I try to stand up from the bed, but I feel my body paralyzed for seconds, so I just lay on the bed and stare at the ceiling.Memories of yesterday night came flooding my mind, and I feel my heart wrenches as fear grips me. I don't know what has been wrong with me for the last few days, but I don't think it was all just my illusion. I really saw that.The sound of the footsteps drawing closer from outside pulls my attention, and the door finally opens, revealing the drained Charity."Are you ok?" I ask her as I watch her slump on the chair, but she only sighs deeply as she reclines on the chair."I'm not fine, Clarissa. I'm missing him," She whines before she buries her face between her palms, and I roll my eyes at her. How come she's still missing him even after what he did to her? She must be stupid."You should call him then," I sm

Chapter 34Clarissa POV "Ugh! I told you I wasn't coming out here," I whine tiredly as I drag my feet behind Charity. We have been going around all day, from restaurant to amusement park, to ice cream joint, and we are heading to the motor park to do nothing. I should've just gone to the office earlier, and not bothered to take the day off."Come on, we've been having fun, isn't it?" She turns to roll her eyes at me before she turns her gaze away and stretches her hands, throwing her head back."Fuck Mason... That dude is a bastard, and I won't think of him again," She screams out, probably to feel better, but deep inside me, I know she will still talk about missing him later, so what is the point of believing her?"What should I do, Clarissa?" She suddenly stops and turns to face me, her eyes glistening with tears, and I roll my eyes. I knew it."I thought you were not going to think about him again? How come you are crying now?" I scoff before I walk past her."It's not my fault, C

Chapter 35Charity POV The meeting with the editor went well, and my book will be published along with my other works, and I'm so happy. After being rejected by many platforms, I'm finally going to be a certified published author.'Congratulations, Miss Cha Cha, you are welcome to publish more of your work with us, and we are looking forward to partnering with you' I giggle excitedly as I walk toward the exit door. I have never been so excited all my life. It was the first step of my writing career, so why not? "Whoa! What a great thing to start the week with," I chuckle softly as I cup my cheeks in my palms, blushing hard. The thought of being a published author really hits differently, and I can't wait to write more books I've gotten ideas for. Stepping out of the exit door, I collided with someone, and I fall flat on my butt, letting out a loud whimper. Yes, I am known for exaggerating, but trust me, I feel pain in my butt."Oh, I'm sorry, Miss. Are you ok?" A deep masculine voi

Chapter 36Alpha Miguel POV'The grim reapers are after her for a reason you should find out by yourself. It'll be dangerous if they lay their hands on her. It's going to be a disaster if they should get a hold of her' those are the words Draco, whom I thought came to hurt me, instead, he came to warn me to protect my woman. I have been feeling danger lurking around her since then, and although I do not know what they want from her, I'm scared she would get hurt. Now, I'm torn between staying away from her so she can be free from getting harmed by my curse, and also keeping her by my side so she won't get harmed by those grim reapers, and it's really crazy.She must be confused after what happened yesterday, but too bad that I can't even talk to her about it, even though I want to do it. "Are you ok?" Hearing Axel's voice, I turn to see him walking inside the garden with his hands tucked inside his pockets."Hmm, I'm fine," I turn my gaze away to continue to stare at the beautiful fl

Chapter 37Alpha Miguel I stare at her, taken aback by her question. This would've been the best time to tell her of my identity, this would've been the best time to let her who know I am, but I am scared of losing her. I am scared she won't be safe if she finds out now."What...what are you talking about?" I blink my eyes at her rapidly, but she sighs instead as she runs her fingers through her hair."I'm sorry about that. I think I've just been thinking a lot lately," She replies to me, and I slowly nod my head even though I know that it's something to be worried about."Do you want to stay back at home today if you can't make it to the office?" I ask her, even though I don't want her to stay back. I'm now scared of her being alone that I don't even want her to leave my sight. I'm going to lose my mind if anything should happen to her."No... I will go to the office. You should go ahead, while I get ready and come after you," She utters, but I quickly shake my head."No... I will w
