Jeanette also joined in, laughing and nodding in agreement. "Yeah, Nadia really loves reading books, and I love that about her. She's just a cute little girl."Christine smiled at her friend's words, her eyes shining with warmth as she gazed at her daughter. "I'm so lucky to be your mom," she whispered, her voice filled with emotion.Nadia looked up at her mom, her eyes sparkling with innocence. "Of course, mommy. I'm also very lucky. I'm also very lucky to have you."Christine's heart swelled with love and gratitude as she listened to her daughter's words. She felt a lump form in her throat as Nadia continued, "Because of that, I promise never to make you sad, mom."Christine's eyes welled up with tears as she opened her arms, and Nadia slipped into her hug. They laughed a little as Nadia parted her curly auburn hair, revealing her bright smile.The innocent girl had no idea that above her head, her mother closed her eyes to hide tears.As Christine hugged her daughter, rubbing Nadia
"I resign," Christine said, her voice firm and resolute. "Sorry for all the fuss I made, and I'll start paying the fine as from next month."Reyes' face turned beet red with rage as he slammed his fist on the desk. "Are you kidding me?" he thundered, his voice echoing off the walls. "You think my father-in-law will let you get away with this? Or should I say, my potential father-in-law?"Christine took a step back, her eyes widening in alarm as Reyes' anger boiled over. "You attacked me in front of him," Reyes continued, his voice rising "He even came to my mansion to look for me, just so he could deal with me and deal with you too!"The room seemed to shake with the force of Reyes' anger, and Christine felt a shiver run down her spine."Because of that, I take it very seriously that I decide to quit," Christine said, her voice firm. "I would leave and disappear from this city."Reyes raised an eyebrow, a skeptical look on his face. "Are you really being stupid or pretending to be inn
Christine was so excited to go to her boyfriend's place. After all, it was a Saturday and she didn't have to work. She lived with her best friend Jeanette, who worked as a salesgirl in a shopping mall. Christine, on the other hand, ran a small flower shop. She stood in front of the mirror, trying to make herself look beautiful for Duncan, her boyfriend. They had been dating for five months, which had been the best months of her life. She loved him so much and wasn't ready to lose him. She had experienced several broken relationships in the past, but she felt like she had finally found the right man. As she sat down in front of her dressing mirror to apply her makeup, she heard her name being called by Jeanette."Christine!" her crazy best friend screamed. "I finally got passes to Barricade Club, and I got one for you too!" she exclaimed excitedly."I'm not interested," Christine replied."But why? Let's just go tonight, please," Jeanette begged."I said I'm not interested. Besides, I
Reyes entered the club, rubbing his head in frustration. He sat on a barstool and ordered a bottle of whiskey to clear his mind. How could his own brother treat him this way? And now he had nowhere to go.FLASHBACK"Get out of here now, you murderer!" His brother Logan shouted. "Logan, how could I kill your wife, your mate? I would never do such a thing. Why do you hate me so much?" Reyes yelled angrily at him."So you still have the mouth to talk. Father, do something about this. You can't let him go unpunished," Logan said."Father, you know I'm innocent," Reyes said, turning to plead with his father. "I'm going to be the alpha in a few days. Why would I kill my brother's wife?" he said sadly."I'm sorry, Reyes, but all the evidence points to you. You are hereby banished from this pack," his father said."No, father, you can't do this to me. I didn't kill her, I swear," Reyes begged earnestly."Drag him out and make sure he never sets foot in this place again," Logan said with a smi
Reyes was taken aback by the unexpected kiss from the woman. In that moment, his determination wavered, and he found himself unable to resist her advances.He was going to sleep with her for the night. Once it was morning, he was going to put her out of his mind and thoughts."I could make it all disappear," he whispered darkly, pressing himself against her. He watched with satisfaction as a glassy look overcame her eyes, indicating her surrender to his touch.If she wanted sex, he was more than willing to give her exactly that."Yes, please," she mumbled in response. "How much did it cost for a night?"******Reyes forcefully kicked open the door to the motel room, pulling the woman inside by her arm. Her hazel eyes scanned the room, taking in the surroundings. The woman had been unable to keep her hands off him, her small and slender fingers caressing his chest and neck. She traced her fingers down his Adam's apple, causing him to nearly lose control. He grabbed her waist, lifted he
“Where the hell are you?" Jeanette yelled as soon as Christine stepped into the house.Christine winced at the loudness, holding her head in pain. Her headache intensified, and she felt quite miserable."Why the hell are you yelling?" Christine asked, her voice laced with a hint of exhaustion.She raised a hand to her forehead, gently massaging it.With a sigh, she kicked off her shoes, and carefully placed them on the shoe rack by the door.As she made her way into the living room, Christine's body sank into the plush cushions of the couch, offering a much-needed sanctuary from the outside world. The soft fabric embraced her tired form, providing a sense of comfort that she desperately craved."I couldn't find you, I looked everywhere.”“Christine, where were you?" The voice belonged to a more mature individual, their tone tinged with concern and a touch of frustration.Christine's body tensed up upon hearing her mother's voice."Mom, why are you here?" Christine's voice dripped with
CHRISTINE'S LIVING ROOMSunlight streams through the windows, casting a warm glow on the room. Christine chases after her energetic four year old daughter, Nadia, who giggles and runs around the room. The result of the one night that she had with a stranger five years ago was not so bad after all, having giving birth to a beautiful daughter makes her sooo happy, even though she remembered the troubles she passed through, especially when mother learnt of the pregnancy, it was not so easy for her but now everything has become a memory."Nadia, sweetie, it's time to get ready for school!" Christine shouted for the umpteenth time."Catch me, Mama!" she giggled.Christine finally catches up to Nadia and scoops her up in her arms, both of them laughing."Oh, you little troublemaker! You're growing up so fast," she said, smiling."I don't want to go to school, Mama. Can't we just play?" she said, pouting.Christine smiles warmly, brushing a strand of Nadia's curly hair away from her face."I
Christine stood in front of her mirror, adjusting the collar of her blouse and smoothing down the fabric of her fitted skirt. The soft light of the morning sun filtered through her window. Today was the day she had been looking forward to—her date with Eugene. She had chosen her outfit carefully, wanting to strike the perfect balance between casual and chic. With a final spritz of her favorite perfume, she grabbed her purse and headed out the door.The restaurant was a quaint little tucked away on a quiet street, its outdoor seating adorned with twinkling fairy lights. As Christine arrived, she spotted Eugene waiting for her at a table, his face lighting up with a smile that sent butterflies fluttering in her stomach. He looked handsome in a crisp button-up shirt, his hair slightly tousled in that effortlessly charming way.“Hey, you look amazing!” he said, standing to pull out her chair.“Thanks! You’re not looking too shabby yourself,” she replied, her cheeks warming as she took a s

Reyes swallowed hard, he felt tightness in his chest, Brandon's words were like arrows that hit his heart. "Besides, our relationship is limited to colleagues," Brandon said, his voice calm and measured. "My concern for her is also limited to pity I think other bodyguards also share my thoughts. Christine is a typical innocent girl who deserves to be protected."The corners of Reyes' lips twitched, a mixture of amusement and annoyance. "Innocent?" he repeated, his voice laced with sarcasm. "You should see how she smiled in front of Weston. I shuddered in horror. She's not a good girl that deserves to be protected. You can't be fooled, Brandon."Brandon's expression remained neutral, but a hint of surprise flickered in his eyes. "Sir, I think you're misunderstanding her," he said, his voice calm. "Christine is not the type of person to play games or manipulate others. She's genuine and kind, and that's why I think she deserves our protection."Reyes snorted, his expression disdainful.
Kaido sat down at his desk in his private office, his eyes scanning the numerous calls and text messages from Jeanette. He had intentionally ignored her for days, wanting to make her worry. But the truth was, he was trying to distance himself from her.As he looked at the messages, Kaido felt a pang of guilt. He knew Jeanette was worried about him, and he was taking advantage of her concern. But he couldn't help it. He was feeling something he wasn't supposed to feel.He was a murderer, a cold-blooded one at that. He had killed countless people in his quest for revenge, and he had never felt a shred of remorse. But Jeanette was different. She made him feel things he couldn't explain, things he didn't want to feel.He was drawn to her, and it scared him. Kaido didn't want to complicate matters. He had started his revenge for a reason, and Jeanette was not going to come and spoil his plans. Never.Kaido's eyes narrowed as he thought about Jeanette. He knew he had to push her away, to ma
As soon as Reyes jolted awake, his eyes widened in surprise. He looked around, trying to remember where he was and what had happened. And then, his gaze fell on Christine.She was sitting on top of him, her body almost half-naked. Reyes' mind was foggy, but he knew that he hadn't done anything with Christine. At least, he didn't think he had.Reyes' eyes narrowed as he tried to piece together the events of the previous night. He remembered Mister Thompson's visit, And then...and then he had moved Christine to bed.The girl had been fast asleep, completely unaware of what was happening. But now, she was sitting on top of him, her body pressed against his. Reyes' heart was racing as he tried to make sense of the situation.Why was Christine sitting on him? And why was she almost half-naked? Reyes' eyes scanned her body, taking in the sight of her bare skin. He felt a surge of desire, but he quickly pushed it aside.Then Christine punched him in the mouth, Reyes' eyes widened in shock. H
Suddenly they heard the movement of legs outside. Reyes' eyes locked onto Christine's, and he mouthed "be quiet" to her. Christine nodded, holding her breath. "Sir, we couldn't find Mr Reyes anywhere in the house," the secretary said. "The guards reported to Mister Thompson that he's not in his office or his bedroom."Christine's eyes widened as she realized that Sage's father had been waiting in the room all this while. No wonder Reyes hadn't moved much, and the air in the wardrobe still felt thin. Christine's heart was racing as she wondered if the sound of their breathing had been caught by Sage's father's ears.Reyes' eyes never left Christine's face as they stood there, frozen in silence. He could see the fear in her eyes, and he knew that he had to protect her. He wrapped his arms around her, holding her close as they waited for Sage's father to leave."Search this room! Look for any secret buttons whatsoever, they must be hiding probably inside a wardrobe I heard something fro
As the day drew to a close, Reyes told Christine that they would be going home together. He instructed Brandon, his driver, to take Christine's car home, and then they left the office together.As they drove to Reyes' mansion, Christine couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. She had no idea why Reyes was being somehow nice to her.When they arrived at the mansion, Reyes led Christine inside and told her to go to the kitchen and make him something to eat. Christine was taken aback by the command, but she didn't argue. She went to the kitchen and quickly made a delicious meal for Reyes.As she served the food to him, Reyes couldn't help but moan in while eating. The food was incredible, and he was impressed by Christine's culinary skills. But he didn't compliment her, still feeling a bit miffed at her for not coming to work for two days.Christine, sensing Reyes' mood, kept her distance. She sat down at the table across from him, but she didn't say a word. Reyes ate in silence, his ey
Jeanette tried to forget about Kaido and decided to distract herself by going to her brother's room. "Hey Mark, how about that dating app I asked you to open?" Jeanette teased, trying to brighten up her mood.Mark looked up from his phone and replied, "Oh sis, you're still on that? Anyway, I opened it a few days ago and I got matched with one girl, but she's ugly."Jeanette playfully rolled her eyes. "Mark, stop! Nobody is ugly, okay? You can just give it a try."Mark shook his head. "No sis, I'm not interested. You know I'm not really into online dating."Jeanette teased him some more. "Okay, if you say so. Anyway, just let me know when you get a girlfriend for yourself, okay?"Mark chuckled. "Okay sis, I will. But for now, can you just leave my room? You're disturbing me."Jeanette laughed and stood up. "Okay, okay, okay! I'll leave. Bye!" She walked out of the room, trying to shake off the lingering thoughts of Kaido.As she walked back to her own room, Jeanette couldn't help but f
As Alpha Logan's words hung in the air, his father's eyes suddenly flickered with life. He sat up in bed coughing seriously his eyes locking onto Alpha Logan's with a piercing intensity."You'll show me?" his father repeated, his voice low and menacing. "You think you can threaten me, Logan? You think you're powerful enough to take on the one who taught you everything you know?" He struggled to say despite being sick.Alpha Logan's eyes narrowed, his jaw clenched in anger. "I'm not threatening you, Father," he said, his voice dripping with venom. "I'm promising you. You've been holding me back for far too long, and it's time for me to take what's mine."His father's eyes flashed with anger, and he swung his legs over the side of the bed. "You dare to challenge me?" he spat, his voice rising. "I am the one who made you, Logan. I am the one who taught you how to hunt, how to fight, how to lead. And this is how you repay me? By threatening me?" He said and started coughing again.Alpha L
