“Was that why you don’t have a wife?” I asked Richard out of curiosity.
“Yes, it turns out they would all want to try all their best to secure a child for w so they can have access to my property but it doesn’t work out and when they complain to me I have no choice but to tell them the truth that I am infertile.” He said trying his best to hold in the tears I could feel coming from his voice.
“They all end up leaving.” I whispered feeling even more bad that I had to ask.
“Even if the decide to stay, they only stare for the money it some of them still want a child with me as they find all the wealth meaningless if there isn’t a child to spend it on.” He replied me, I sat up and tapped his shoulder gently in an attempt to cool him down.
“No one loves me, all they want is the money that’s why sometimes I always wished I could get the chance to pick how my destiny would go and this time I would throw away all the wealth and stick to having a child of my own. A child I could proudly call mine.”
“I am sorry I had to ask, I did t k who you were passing through all this.” I said to him,feeling more and more guilty as I said the word.
He slowly cleaned the tears off his eyes and turned to me.
“But you, you changed everything…ever since you came into my life you taught me nothing but true friendship and now you hav eke the privilege of knowing how precious it is to be called a father.” He said but instead of feeling happy I felt like I was stabbing him in the back, as I was more than aware that one day Avalor would come back to get me and his unborn children as I wondered what would happen to Richard then.
“I didn’t do anything to deserve such praise.” I said to him, he chuckled before pulling me in for a tight hug.
“You don’t know it, but my life has changed for the better since I met you and I don’t regret it one bit.” He said to me,
“Even if you have to leave tomorrow that won’t stop me from living today to the most because It’s worth the while.” He said to me, making me suddenly feel more energetic, he was right. I might not be able to pay him back but I could at least make him happy.
As the doctor discharged me from the hospital, I couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions swirling within me. The news of carrying triplets was still sinking in, but now there was something else weighing on my mind - Richard's revelation about his infertility. It broke my heart to see the pain he carried, the burden of being unable to have a child of his own.
Once we returned home, I made a decision. I would treat Richard as the father of my unborn children, proudly acknowledging him in every way. I wanted to bring him joy and happiness, to show him that he was loved and cherished, even if it couldn't be in the traditional sense.
In the following days, I walked into the company with confidence, my head held high. I could feel the whispers and judgment from some of my colleagues, but I refused to let it affect me. I knew who I was and what was important to me.
I made a conscious effort to involve Richard in every aspect of my pregnancy. We attended doctor's appointments together, laughed at the ultrasound images, and discussed baby names. We embraced the journey of parenthood as a team, supporting each other every step of the way.
In the office, I proudly introduced Richard as the father of my triplets. I could see the surprise and confusion on people's faces, but I didn't let it bother me. Their opinions didn't matter. What mattered was the love and support that Richard provided, and the happiness he brought into my life.
As the days turned into weeks, my bond with Richard grew stronger. We shared moments of joy and excitement, and he was there to comfort me during the challenging times. We painted the nursery together, chose adorable baby clothes, and planned for the future as a family.
With my pregnancy progressing and the news of expecting triplets out, I found myself immersed in a new project at work. Determined to prove my capabilities, I set my sights on securing a contract with overseas clients. It would not only boost the company's reputation but also provide stability for my growing family.
I spent countless hours researching the needs and preferences of the potential clients, preparing proposals, and fine-tuning my presentation skills. Richard, always supportive, offered his expertise and guidance whenever I needed it. Together, we formed a formidable team.
As the day of the meeting with the overseas clients approached, I couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and nervousness. This was a crucial opportunity, and I wanted to make a lasting impression. The morning of the meeting, I dressed in my most professional attire and rehearsed my pitch one last time.
Walking into the meeting room, I greeted the clients with confidence and professionalism. I presented our company's strengths, highlighting our track record of success and our commitment to delivering quality results. I showcased our innovative ideas and how they would benefit their business.
I might be a slave and a nobody in the werewolf world but I was more than ready to be well known here in the human realm, I was ready to leave a mark here before any tragic incident occurred…I could feel it in me that something I wasn’t expecting was coming but I was not ready to back down yet…I was more than ready to face even Alpha Avalor head on if he ever tried to trace me.
“Avalor we need to stop this, we need to stop searching in vain.” Sam pleaded with Avalor who was now in a deserted area of the city as he continued to walk around.“She is still out here, I know it!!” Avalor yelled in frustration as he stared at the environment in disgust what could have possibly brought her here?He paced closer to the trail her scent was leaving but he was stunned and also shock to see the scent leaving up the roof.“This is become more absorbed, is she probably walking around in her werewolf form or else there is no way Melissa in her human form would claim that high.” Sam said to Avalor who also starred around in frustration.Sam took a step closer to Avalor, placing a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "Alpha Avalor, we must try to remain calm and think logically," he urged, his voice steady and gentle. "I understand your desperation to find Melissa, but we have been following her scent for three weeks now. It doesn't make sense for her to be in areas that she can
“He followed me!!” Avalor yelled in annoyance, he couldn’t believe Lucas had the guts to follow here to the human world despite him being the reason why a war is brewing up in his pack.“That bastard still outsmarted me despite me giving him a second chance and not killing him!” Avalor yelled and Sam noticed he was slowly getting angry.Avalor's anger flared, his fists clenched tightly as he seethed with frustration. Lucas, the betrayer who had caused so much turmoil in their pack, had somehow managed to follow Avalor into the human world. It was a blatant disregard for the dangers he had unleashed and the potential war that was brewing.Sam quickly stepped closer to Avalor, his voice calm but firm. "Alpha Avalor, I understand your anger, but getting worked up won't solve anything. We need to focus on understanding why Lucas is here and what his intentions are."Avalor took a deep breath, trying to reign in his anger. "How is it possible?" he muttered, his mind racing to find an expla
I drove my car into the parking lot of the company, Richard had just gifted me this car few days ago for being his best employee of the month and I was ready to rock it not caring what anyone was going to say about it.I felt so happy with myself with the things i was slowly achieving as it turned out the clients I was working hard with finally accepted my project so Richard was even more than happy with me as he called me a blessing in disguise to his life.As I stepped into the company all the employees began to greet me respectful as I was now one of the most important people in the building, everything felt so perfect until I saw something on the billboard of the company’s and also on some employees tab, it was my picture.Few days ago Richard had told me he needed me to do some photo shoot just in case of any urgency as I had not filled up my application letter, was this what he wanted to use it for? I rushed up to his office almost immediately and without even knocking I stepped
It was soon nightfall and Melissa was still busy in the office and Richard was still being sad due to the fact that Melissa still took him as a mere friend, Richard felt like no matter what he did Melissa won’t still love as this made him to wonder who the real father of the triplets she was carrying was, if really she hated the father of her unborn children or if she loved him.He paced back and forth in his office unable to decide what to do as he felt like all his feels for Melissa was soon about to be thrown into the trash and being of our use…he knew deep within him that he would hate it if The person Melissa love was to ever return.Finally, Richard made up his mind. He couldn't let Melissa slip away without a fight. He approached her in her office, his expression a mix of determination and vulnerability."Melissa, I've been thinking," he began, his voice filled with sincerity. "I can't bear the thought of you going home alone tonight. Would you consider coming back to my place
Melissa rubbed her hand on her eyes sluggishly to wake her up from the slumber she was fall into due to the late night work she was giving herself.She stared at her computer screen and smiled in victory to how far she had gotten which her speech for the upcoming party as she wasn’t sure she would have the chance to right another due to all her busy schedules, she turned on her phone and went through all her messages including those from Richard making her groan loudly.“Why did you have to fall in love with me Richard, I can’t be able to handle it all.” She whispered to herself before looking around only to notice that everyone had already gone home leaving only her in the building.She arranged her bag and was just about to leave when she heard her name being called by a familiar voice.“Come out, come out wherever you are.” She heard the familiar voice call,“Who could possibly be calling my name this late at night?” Melissa whispered to herself as she stepped out of her office.Me
Melissa's mind raced as she searched for an excuse to appease Richard's curiosity. She knew that revealing her true identity as a werewolf would only complicate matters further. But she also couldn't keep hiding the truth from him forever. "I... I didn't want to burden you with my past," Melissa stammered, her voice filled with hesitation. "Lucas... he's just someone from my past who has some unresolved issues with me. It's complicated, and I didn't think it would affect our relationship."Richard's expression softened as he listened to Melissa's explanation. He could sense that she was holding something back, but he didn't want to pressure her further. He wanted to give her the space she needed to open up when she was ready."I understand that everyone has their own past, Melissa," Richard replied, his voice gentle. "But I want to be there for you, through the good and the bad. You don't have to face these challenges alone."Melissa felt a mix of relief and apprehension. She wanted
Avalor paced around his room thinking and hoping Sam was able to follow Lucas and also hoped wherever he led Sam to had Melissa there, just then Sam walked in and took off his hoody.“How did it go? Did you find Melissa?” Avalor asked anxiously.“Yes, she is alive and doing okay but there is juts a little issue.” Sam said as Avalor was happy but at the Same time hoping the little issues won’t drift him further away from Melissa.“What’s this issue?” He asked same who sighed loudly before clearing his throat in attempt to speak.“Melissa isn’t letting her guard down for one bit as she would sniff you coming from miles away and the amazing turn of events is she doesn’t even want you there.” Sam said before taking a seat and Avalor joined him.“I thought you said she was your mate and ran away because of Lucas but why else would she not want you there, even though she didn’t see you she still looked frightened that you might pop out, I am afraid we might have to let her be till she is re
Melissa tried to process everything ricard had just said, why was it when she felt like things would go back to normal? That's when he suddenly appears and everything gets ruined again.“How can he be your client?” Melissa questioned.“Why can’t it be them?” Richard questioned placing Melissa in another tight position as she though of how else to make Avalor sound bad.“I heard about his company and ugh…he is involved In illegal things, why didn’t you tell me about it before it happened?” Melissa lied.Richard sighed heavily, realizing the weight of the situation. "Avalor's company approached me for a business deal," he explained to Melissa, his voice tinged with regret. "They made an offer that was hard to refuse, and I ended up signing the contract."Melissa's eyes filled with desperation as she pleaded with Richard. "Please, you have to find a way to back out of the deal. Avalor's company is not what it seems, they are involved in illegal activities. I can't let you get caught up i
