Short update...
Chapter 9 Selene โAre you ready?โ I took a deep breath and looked at Valen who was sitting beside me. There is a lot of press outside the Brown Company, my fatherโs company. His sweat and blood. โI guess so, itโs now or never,โ I answer. โYes, right. Come and make your big entrance,โ he said and was about to open the door of the car but then we saw a woman going out of the building shouting. Itโs no other than my step mother. โWhat is this?โ she shouted. We can clearly hear her because all of the press became quiet. โWhat are you guys doing here in front of my company?โ and now sheโs angry. I canโt help but smile. Really? Her company. Pathetic woman.. โYour stepmother really has a thick face, huh? Didnโt she know how to fact check? If the company is really hers?โ I was shocked at what Valenโs said but I just laughed so that he wouldn't notice it. โSomeone called us here because a big news will be coming out so we will wait,โ one of the reporters said. I chuckled. โI guess
Chapter 10 VALEN I went straight home, after fixing everything Seleneโs need. I canโt understand myself right now, I can explain my emotions. I should be happy that Selene wonโt be staying in our pack anymore. My pack freely moves and shifts anytime without worrying that Selene might see them.I looked at the trees on the way home, my car stopped and I saw my mom waiting for me. I sighed deeply, I know she will ask about Selene. She was so fond of Selene because she really wants a daughter. Luckily, sheโs not pressuring me to marry someone. I got out of the car and mom immediately went to me. โHow is she?โ she asked. I chuckled. She didnโt even ask me how the trip was on the way home. Tsk.โShe's fine, mother. She can handle herself,โ I answered and entered the house already. โAre you sure, Valen?โ she asked again and followed me inside my office. I sat down on my chair and started looking at the papers left to me. I have so much work to do. And my mom here is pestering me. It
Chapter 11SELENE Someone knocked on my office door. I looked at it for a while and went back to fixing the boxes of my fatherโs things left here in the office. โYes, I come in,โ I mumbled softly. I heard the door open and close. Different books are here in the box, I didnโt know my father loved books or these belonged to my mother since she really loves books. But then my father has a sign on it, which belongs to him. I heard the footsteps of the person entering the room stopped in front of me. โIs that how you treat your employees?โ I looked at the man who was talking. Jasper. I smiled and stood up, he even helped me. โWhat are you doing here? Donโt you have work?โ I asked and sat down first at the couch. He sat down also and crossed his legs. โAre you settling in nicely?โ He answered me with a question as well. Nice. I pressed down the button on the side table so that my assistant would bring us some coffee. โYes, I think I have. I've fixed the financial papers already,
Chapter 12 SELENE โAre you okay?โ Valen asked. I looked at him. What is he doing here? I mean outside my office door, in my own company. I canโt answer him, Iโm still shocked by what Iโve read and him being here. What the hell is happening?โWhy?โ I stuttered asking. He just looked at me and I realized our position. Heโs still holding me by the waist. I immediately balanced myself to stand up. He also realized that he was still holding me and immediately let go of me when I balanced myself already. What is this feeling? Just by looking at his eyes, I thought I was lost in another world full of different emotions. Butterflies in my stomach. โYou didnโt answer my question,โ sternness was evident in his voice. As always. What should I expect from Valen Ashton Craig, right? I rolled my eyes as he was just looking at me. I saw his eyebrow rise but his face immediately went back to just looking at me without any emotions. โI am okay, I guess,โ I softly whispered. โI know what it i
Chapter 13 Selene I woke up at the sound of birds chirping. I looked around and saw that this is not my room in my house but my room at the mansion of Valen. Am I really here? I am back at this comfortable place after three months. Valen said that I could find answers here to know who I really am. I am scared because why is this happening to me? I just want to enjoy my life, to create a future for me that I will thank myself one day. I stood up and looked at the window to see the trees dancing with the wind. The comfort that place is giving me is something that I canโt find in the City of Bloom. I took a deep breath and opened the windows. Wind splashed on my face. Home. Can I call this my home? I hugged myself as the wind started to get cold. I closed my eyes to feel it and think of the things happening right now. The other day, I enjoyed fixing the company, attending meetings, and listening to their suggestions. Now, I am here thinking of myself, who I really am? Where do I re
Chapter 14 Selene I spent the rest of my weekend here with Aunt Elina. Traces of Valen are nowhere to be found. Maybe he is busy, but then I need to talk to him already and asked him to take me back to the City of Bloom already. I walk around the living room looking at the pictures of Valen, Aunt Elina, and his dad whom I have not seen nor met yet. Aunt Elina said that heโs out of the country again because of some business. It turns out that Valenโs company belongs to him only. While Aunt Elina and her husband have their own company to support them. I canโt be more amazed on how intelligent Valen is for him to be able to build his own company at such a young age. Indeed he is the youngest billionaire in our country. Yes, in the country not only in the City of Bloom. Anyway, my company will also rise like that one day. Though itโs already in the Top 10 of the countryโs best companies. Canโt wait to make it to the Top 5 and I wonโt be greedy but itโs a dream to make it to the Top 2
Chapter 15 SELENE I was busy checking my emails while on the road with Liam when his phone suddenly rang. I raised my eyebrow when I saw that itโs Valen who is calling. I looked at Liam only to find his eyes widened while looking at his small monitor on his dashboard where Valenโs name was flashed. โArenโt you going to answer it?โHe shook his head like he was terrified that Valen was calling him. โNo, I wonโt. Donโt mind it anymore,โ I shrugged and let him. Itโs not my phone call anyway. I checked Jasperโs email asking where the hell am I? I forgot to message him that I will be gone for the weekend. Oh no, that man will lash out on me when I come back. I answered some of the personal emails from other CEOโs. The other one even asking me out for a dinner. Who the hell asks someone for a date through email? I thought it should be asked personally. Crazy. I chuckled as I watched some videos from instagram. Yes, I use social media. I wonder if Valen has one? or even Liam. โSele
Chapter 16 SELENE โWhat are you doing here?โ was the first thing I asked him when I saw him sitting in the lounge of my condominium. And he is talking to what? The agent who sells the penthouse. I know her because she was the one who assisted me. โIt was great pleasure doing business with Mr. Craig, the penthouse is being cleaned everyday so I guess you can already start living there since itโs fully furnished.โ The agent woman said before smiling at me and leaving the both of us. โWhat were you saying a while ago?โ Valen asked when we were finally alone. โWhat are you doing here I said, and what? You bought a unit here? You have a mansion for pete's sake!โ I said with an unimaginable expression. I just canโt believe that he just sat down here waiting for me to go down and what? He already has a unit here? โYouโre such an extravagant person.โ I exclaimed. I put my hand on my head, lightly massaging it because I just canโt believe what he did. I know that his company is one of t
Chapter 17 VALEN I am not mad. I swear I am just pissed! I asked her if she needed anything, but she answered that she didn't. Then I would know that Liam was bringing her back to the city. I have so many things to confirm from her. She might be the long-lost daughter of the moon goddess. I could have helped her if she really wanted to find her true parents and ask and hear their explanations. And Liam, man, is my best friend, and my blood boils at him. He knows that I should be the one bringing Selene back to the city since I am the one who brought her to the pack. I throw the glass of whiskey from my hand. I am frustrated! It created a loud noise as the glass smashed into the wall. โAlpha,โ I heard someone call me. I turn to look at one of my guards. โYes?โ I coldly ask. I am still not in the mood. Selene, what are you doing to me? Woman. โLuna Olivia is here,โ he said, and Luna Olivia entered my office. I stood up from my seat to welcome her. I motioned to the scatte
