Keep reading lovelies, know what will happen next.
She had followed his clear instructions for a good morning coffee, which was to be a black espresso with no cream and a cube of sugar. His choice of beverage was as miserable as working with him, and now she was in deep trouble."You don't like your coffee, sir?""Did you buy this from a store?""I beg your pardon.""Answer the damn question.""No, sir, I only got recommendations from other staff.""In my office, you do as you are told.""Well, I thought it would be—""You don't think, you do as you are told!" he yelled, and she could feel her insides squirming with embarrassment. "I am only expecting to drink a beautiful coffee, as I have told you. Besides, the buttery is for the employees. I have my personal coffee room."Now it finally clicked why there was a direction notice stapled on the note left on her table. Her cheeks burned, and she wished she could jump off a cliff at that moment, but she smiled. She had been through worse than this. "Do you want me to remake the coffee?"
Christine sat with Nadia, and Jeanette. The air was filled with the rich aroma of coffee and the soft murmur of conversations around them. Christine absentmindedly stirred her cappuccino, her eyes drifting to the colorful children's books stacked on a nearby shelf. “Mom, can we go to the library after this?” Nadia asked, her eyes sparkling with excitement. “I want to find more books about space!”“Of course, sweetie,” Christine replied, “We can pick out a few books and maybe even find a fun activity to do there.”Nadia nodded eagerly, her little fingers tapping on the table. “I wish I had a Dad. I bet he’d love to help me pick out the best ones.”Christine’s heart sank at the mention of Dad. She forced a smile, trying to keep the conversation light. “Well, we can have a great time just the three of us. Your grandpa loves books too!”“But I wish Dad was a CEO of a big company,” Nadia said, her voice filled with innocent longing. “Then he could take us on cool trips and show us his offi
The scent of sizzling eggs and crisp bacon filled the air, mingling with the sweet aroma of freshly brewed coffee. She hummed softly to herself, a melody that had become a morning routine, as she dished a beautiful array of breakfast for Nadia.“Breakfast is ready!” Christine called out, her voice bright and cheerful. Nadia entered into the kitchen, her backpack slung over one shoulder. “Yay! Pancakes!” she exclaimed, her face lighting up at the sight of the fluffy pancakes drizzling with honey. “Not just pancakes, my love,” Christine replied, setting the plate down in front of her. “We have eggs, bacon, and your favorite—chocolate chip pancakes!”Nadia’s eyes sparkled with delight as she dug in, her fork clinking against the plate. Christine watched her daughter with a smile, her heart swelling with love. Moments like these were precious, a brief pause in the whirlwind of their busy lives.After breakfast, Christine helped Nadia gather her things for school, ensuring she had her lu
Reyes was still trying to recover from the shock of the name when he asked the little girl, "How old are you?"Nadia furrowed her brows, and instead of answering, she just shook her head. "Sorry, sir, mommy said I shouldn't share personal information with strangers.""But you already told me your name," Reyes pointed out."That seems very normal. Who knows, your leg might hurt, and you might want to sue me because you really look rich enough to be a CEO," Nadia replied, surprising Reyes with her smart answer.She was really pretty and looked a lot like Christine. The answer was too mature for Nadia."That stupid secretary couldn't have given birth to such a genius baby girl. It might just be a coincidence that they have the same surname," Reyes thought to himself.While Reyes was lost in his thoughts, the little girl nodded respectfully. "Now please excuse me, sir. I have to go meet my mom. She would be looking for me by now. Also, I'm sorry for earlier," she said before running off.
Finally, as the gala began to wind down, Reyes turned to her and said, "Shall we call it a night, Christine? I have an early meeting tomorrow."Christine nodded, relieved to be escaping the suffocating atmosphere. "Yes, of course."Outside, the cool night air was a welcome despite from the stifling heat of the event. Reyes handed Christine into the waiting car. "Thank you for tonight, Christine," he said, his voice low and husky. "You were... amazing."Christine forced a smile, feeling like she was trapped in a nightmare. "The pleasure was mine, Reyes."As the car pulled away from the curb, Christine caught a glimpse of the stranger standing on the sidewalk, watching her leave. Immediately Christine stopped the car, and quickly got down, she told the driver to just go that she forgot something at the party.She wanted Reyes to leave first before she goes back and pick Jeanette and Nadia. She quickly ran back to the party, to pick them up."Oh I thought you were going to leave us,"
As Christine walked back to her desk, she couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off. It was obvious the way Reyes had been staring at her keenly.She tried to focus on her work, but she kept on remembering the way his eyes stared at her. Suddenly, her computer beeped, signaling an incoming email. Christine's heart skipped a beat as she saw the sender's name: Unknown.The email was brief, with only two words: "you'll pay." Christine's eyes widened in horror as she realized that someone had definitely been watching her. She felt a wave of fear wash over her, and her mind began to spin with questions.Who was sending her these threatening messages? And what did they want from her?Christine decided to shake it off, maybe it was a mistake from the sender, she hadn't done anything to warrant this kind of messages. ******Reyes sat at his desk, he rubbed his forehead, trying to shake off the distraction that had taken root in his mind. He had been thinking about her for minut
Reyes was pacing back and forth, his mind racing. The words echoed in his head like a relentless drumbeat: "You wouldn't want to lose your only daughter" His mother’s voice haunted him. He stopped abruptly, his heart pounding in his chest. Daughter? How could that be? He had never even considered the possibility. He ran a hand through his hair, frustration boiling over. He then remembered the night of 5 years ago. But a daughter? The thought was absurd. He had never even met the woman who had shared that night with him since then. How could his mother know something he didn’t? “Reyes?” The voice of Brandon broke through the chaos in his mind. Reyes turned sharply, his eyes blazing with urgency. “Brandon, I need you to find her,” he said, his voice low but intense. “The woman from five years ago. I don’t care how you do it, just make sure you fucking do your job this time.” Brandon’s brow furrowed, confusion flickering across his face. “You mean the one from the club? The one you—
As Margaret waited for Christine to answer the phone, she couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. Who could be sending such a menacing message?Just as Margaret was about to hang up, Christine's voice came on the line."Mom, what's wrong?" Christine asked, her voice laced with concern.Margaret took a deep breath before speaking. "Christine, we just received a package. It's a knife with a note that says 'Christine will pay'."There was a pause on the other end of the line before Christine spoke up."OMG, again, this message was only to be directed to me, why did he have to deliver a package to you?Christine said, her voice shaky. "I'll be right there."As Margaret hung up the phone, Jeanette looked at her with a concerned expression."Do you think Christine is in danger?" Jeanette asked.Margaret nodded. "I think we all are."Just then, the doorbell rang again. Margaret's heart skipped a beat as she wondered who it could be."I'll get it," Jeanette said, getting up from the couch.A
The next day, the maids had already dressed Christine and Nadia in a royal robe and a very beautiful attire, a royal blue attire that fit the theme of the party. Christine looked stunning, and Nadia looked like a little princess.Just as they were about to leave their room, Christine's phone rang. She picked it up, and her face fell as she listened to the caller. It was Jeanette. "Christine, I have some bad news," Jeanette said, her voice somber. "Sarah is dead."Christine's eyes widened in shock. "What? How did it happen?" she asked, her voice trembling.Jeanette explained how Sarah had tried to kill her, and how Sage had been arrested for Sarah's death. Christine couldn't believe what she was hearing. She had loved Sarah like a friend, and she was devastated by her betrayal.As she listened to Jeanette, Christine felt a wave of sadness wash over her. She wished that Sarah had found a better path, one that didn't lead to violence and betrayal. She wished her friend a peaceful rest, a
Every other soldier was still fighting, and Brandon was also fighting Logan's beta Ruslan. Brandon threw the sword into Ruslan's tummy, and he died instantly. Then, Reyes and Logan continued fighting.Luna Athena was already going crazy, she was scared that Reyes was going to get hurt. She didn't care about Logan anymore; Logan was a beast and deserved to die. But she really didn't want anything to happen to Reyes. With his wounded shoulder, Reyes continued fighting. Christine had to cover Nadia's eyes in order not to see everything that was going on. She was already tearing up and crying, and she stared at him fighting his own brother.Then Logan threw an arrow that was on the ground into Reyes' tummy. Immediately, Reyes winced and fell down on one knee, using his sword to support the other knee.Logan was already putting a triumphant smile on his face and looking at Reyes. "I told you I was going to kill you. I warned you. Now you have to die by my sword."But Logan faced back, an
Brandon left Logan alone, immediately someone came to tell him that Reyes had already announced what he wanted to announce in a meeting room. So, Brandon left Logan alone and went to join Reyes in the meeting room.Reyes didn't know what to say he just looked at his mum 'Mom, I know you love Christine, and I would make sure she becomes the lunar of this pack.'"Alpha Elder Jacob slammed his fist on the table again. "And I said no, we cannot have a human ruler!" he exclaimed.Immediately, he wanted to leave the hall, but Brandon blocked him. Then, Reyes turned to Elder Jacob."I understand your concern for this pack, and I know you feel my wife is not capable of ruling this pack. But I can tell you, as you all know, I was absent in this pack for five years. I was in the human world, when none of you have been to, and she was my personal assistant," Reyes said, choosing his words carefully. He didn't want to use the word "secretary" because he feared they might not understand it. "She
Reyes stepped forward, his eyes locked on Logan's, his voice firm and commanding. "I can, Logan, and I will prove that I am innocent of this crime. And that is going to happen today."Immediately, Brandon appeared, a small recorder in his hand. He had already recorded the whole conversation between Reyes and Logan. Brandon handed the recorder to Reyes, who smiled in satisfaction."Thank you, Brandon. You did a good job," Reyes said, his eyes gleaming with triumph.Actually, secretly, Reyes had already called Brandon from the human world, asking for his help that particular day. They had already planned everything that was going to happen, and Brandon had fulfilled his mission perfectly.Reyes moved closer to Alpha Logan, his eyes blazing with anger. "Logan, I am going to play this recording in front of everybody in the council, and they will know that you killed your wife."With that, Reyes turned and stepped out of Logan's room, heading straight to the meeting room. Brandon held Loga
"Yes, of course, Jeanette wouldn't want me to turn into a cold-blooded murderer," Kaido said, staring at Mark.Immediately, they left Sarah's house with the CCTV camera in their hand and headed straight to the police station. As they arrived at the police station, Mark was about to get down and go inside to give them the CCTV camera, but Kaido stopped him."Wait, Mark," Kaido said, thinking for a moment. "They haven't even found the dead body yet. Let's wait until they do before we take any action."Mark nodded in agreement. They both knew that either way, Sage's life was over. She would definitely be one of the most talked-about celebrities, and her image would be tarnished forever. She came from a rich and influential family, and this scandal would be a huge blow to their reputation."Let's go back," Kaido said, starting the car. "We'll wait for the police to find the body and then we'll take our next move."Mark nodded, and they left the police station, heading back to Kaido's hous
All of a sudden, Sage's phone beeped, and she checked the message. Her eyes widened in horror as she read the words: "I know you killed Sarah."Fear gripped her, and she threw her phone across the room, screaming and hurling. "Oh my God, did someone see me? I'm doomed! What would I do now?" Sage exclaimed, pacing around the room in a state of panic.Her mother, who had been in the living room, rushed into Sage's room, concern etched on her face. "Sage, are you alright? I heard a crash in your room."Sage quickly composed herself, trying to hide her fear. "Mom, it's nothing. Just go," she said, yelling at her mom and closing the door in her face.Her mom looked worried and confused as she went back to her room. She couldn't understand what was going on with her daughter.Sage, on the other hand, was panicking more than ever. She rushed to her phone, which was still lying on the floor, and checked if there were any other messages. But there was nothing.She started thinking of ways to e
HUMAN WORLD Sarah sat in her living room, surrounded by the silence of her apartment. She had not left her house in days, ever since Brandon had announced that their boss, had traveled out of the country and would not be back for a while.Sarah's mind was consumed by fear and anxiety. She was terrified that Sage would come to the office and confront her about her failure.Sarah didn't succeed in poisoning Christine, and to make matters worse, Christine had disappeared from work without warning. Sarah knew that Sage would not take kindly to her failure, and she was scared of the consequences.As she sat in her living room, Sarah's thoughts were racing with worst-case scenarios. She imagined Sage storming into the office, her eyes blazing with anger, and her voice dripping with venom.Sarah shuddered at the thought of Sage's wrath. She knew that Sage was capable of destroying her life, and she was desperate to avoid her.Sarah's phone suddenly rang, shrill and loud in the silence of he
Reyes stood up from the couch, where he and Christine had been sitting, and walked over to the door. He opened it, expecting to see one of his staff members or perhaps a delivery person. But to his surprise, he saw his mother standing in the doorway.Reyes was shocked. He hadn't expected to see his mother at this time of night. Christine, sensing something was amiss, quickly sat up straight in her chair as Reyes' mother entered the room."Mom, what are you doing here?" Reyes asked, trying to compose himself. "What's going on?"His mother looked frazzled and worried. "Reyes, I'm sorry to show up unannounced like this, but the full moon is in two days. We need you, Reyes. The kingdom needs you, the pack needs you. Please, I beg of you, come back home."Reyes' mother was already crying and sniffing, her eyes red from tears. Reyes quickly sat down beside her, trying to comfort her."It's okay, Mom. You don't have to cry because of this. I've made up my mind, and I'm going to come back to
Kaido drove back to the villa, where everyone was waiting for him. Reyes, Christine, and Jeanette stood up as he parked the truck outside. They looked at him, and their eyes widened in shock. Kaido was covered in blood, his clothes stained with Duncan's blood.But Jeanette didn't seem to mind the blood. She ran to Kaido and hugged him tightly. "I'm sorry for everything you passed through," she said, her voice filled with emotion. "I'm so sorry for the pain Duncan made you go through. I'm very sorry."Kaido looked at her and smiled, his eyes filled with gratitude. He hugged her back, holding her tightly.Then, he walked over to his bike and started the engine. Jeanette hopped on the back of the bike, and they both drove off to Kaido's place.Reyes and Christine stood watching them go, and then they turned to each other. They got into Reyes' car, and he started the engine. They drove back to Reyes' mansion, the silence between them filled with unspoken thoughts and emotions.As they dro
