When I was done crying, I drove back home. It took me a bit longer. When I reached home, the lights of the living room were still on and my mom was sitting there. She was obviously smiling just now. But when she saw me, she was shocked. "Why are you here Riley?? " mom asked me while covering her shocked expression with a smile. "Mom, this is my home. Were you expecting me not to come home tonight?? " I asked, tears welling up in my eyes. "I... I didn't say that," mom was shuttering, "I thought you would be late." "Mom... why do you think so?? " "i... I...." "Mom where is dad?" I cut her off. She can't form a word. Was Mr. White right?? Did she....did she sell me?? But why me? I was her daughter. I was still not sure whether to believe Mr. White or not.. But one thing was for sure: Dad was not there. "He...." "Dad is out of city. He went to his friends for help." It was Sarah th
I stopped when the road parted. It was three ways ahead. I looked at them for a while. I really didn't know where to go. I quietly went to the roadside and sat on a bench. I began to think about what had just happened. A while ago, I had a home, a family, mom, dad, and a little sister. I had a plan for the future. I graduated from college. Oh, I forgot tomorrow was my test for entrance, and now just a few moments later I am homeless. My family, which I claimed to be mine, was not mine... I found out I was adopted. I have no place to live. I have nothing, just this life... God why did you give me this life? Wait, who gave me this life? Who were my parents? Why did they leave me alone, unconscious? Did they abandon me? Arrhhhhhhh.... I cried out in frustration. Tears were coming out again.. . I shook my head. Wipe my tears. "No girl. You can't lose like this." I said to myself... "Everything happens for a reason. Maybe this too." I fished out my phone from my po
When I opened my eyes, I instantly closed them again because of the bright light...After a while, I again opened my eyes slowly. This time, I was comfortable with the light. I tried to scan my surroundings. It was a simple room with a bed where I was lying, a table, and a wardrobe. I knew this place. It was Cami's room. What was I doing here? I held my head with both hands and remembered everything that happened to me just a while ago. While I was thinking, my door suddenly opened, and Cami came in. She was surprised at first, but that look was replaced by happiness in an instant. "You are awake," she said, grabbing my left hand while sitting beside me. "You scared me to death." "How did I end up here? I remember passing out on the road." I asked her, confused. "Oh, so you know, hmm... Yesterday you said you were coming at midnight. I waited for years and years, but you never came, nor did you pick up your damn phone." She said trying to look scary while s
I was standing in front of Golden Company. I had given my resume to many of the companies, and I was lucky enough to be selected for this one. This is one of the top companies in A city. This company was actually Scultz Group until five years ago. It was about to go bankrupt when Mr. Willis Gold appeared out of nowhere and took over the company. And in only five years, he took this company to its peak. Now this company is one of the four most powerful companies in A city. It has a lot of branch offices in A city as well as other cities. I took a long breath as I walked towards the company. When I entered the office, there were already a lot of candidates waiting for their turn. I went to the receptionist and asked for my number. She informed me that the interview had just begun and that my number was five. Then I took my seat in the waiting area. After half an hour, it was my turn, and honestly speaking, I was dying of nervousness. I was just trying to not show
She raised her hand toward her. A big, bright light came and hit the girl. "Arhhhhhh!" I jolted awake, screaming. I was covered in a cold sweat. Sigh, I had this dream again. This was a dream that had followed me as long as I knew. I once talked to my mom about this dream when I was six. She said it was just a dream, and I should forget about it. But I never got myself to forget this because, as I remember, I frequently saw this dream as I grew older. I knew each and every moment clearly, and each time I saw this, I would be covered in a cold sweat. I still felt the exact same fear each time. Even though I saw this very frequently, I was never used to it, nor was I fond of this dream. Every time, it left an unknown pain in my heart. I looked out of the window. It was still daytime. I got out of bed and went to the bathroom. I washed my face. I thought for a while and decided to go to the mobile shop to fix my phone. I changed into my baggy shirt and pants before leavi
"Are you guys a couple?" She looked at me confused, asking, "What are you talking about? Of course not! We're just friends." she explained. "I just felt like he was fond of you." . I honestly answered her. "Is that so?" she asked, staring at me. "I just thought so. Maybe I was wrong," I said, breaking our eye contact. Now that she had declined,there was no point in pushing further. "Oh, by the way, did you finish the file work I gave you? Let's go to the manager after lunch. I'll show his office then. " she said eating a mouthful of grilled chicken. "I had finished that work, but we don't need to go to the manager," I said, remembering how that rude girl Olivia snatched my completed file and gave me the new files. "why?? Is it like you found the manager's office by yourself and already submitted the file, which is why you said we don't need to go to the manager?" She said the whole paragraph in one go. "No no. It's not like that. Earlier,
I saw the cup of coffee fly up... And with a loud thud, I was right on the ground. My face bumped hard on the ground, and my forehead was in great pain. A few inches ahead of me was a pool of my hot coffee, along with the broken cup. My heart ached at that sight. I had just made that and hadn't taken a sip yet. I looked up just to see Olivia looking at me and smiling with satisfaction. A surge of anger boiled inside me. I wanted to rip her head off. But I shook that thought away and got up from the ground. I looked around only to find everyone looking at me with pitiful eyes. I quickly find Anyee's concerned eyes on me. It was quite embarrassing. Two girls named Ahe (the one to submit the files in the morning) and another whom I didn't know came laughing and joined Olivia. "looks like someone needs eye treatment," Olivia mocked me with an evil smirk. The new girl laughed out hard at this statement and said to Olivia, "Looks like you found a new
Can you help me? "For what?" I don't understand what he meant. "For umm..like... Kinda winning her heart over?" He said a bit hesitantly. "Woah... Woah... Woah.. . Are you serious? I mean for her?" I asked, as I needed to know. I didn't know what kind of person he was, nor did I know anything about Anyee. He nodded his head in agreement. He has a calm face, and I was certain he was telling the truth. "I'm not certain if I can help you or not. I mean, you guys know each other better than me. I mean, I don't know much about her or about you properly. Please don't get me wrong. But I'm sorry, Rick." I said this. I wanted to help him. But I didn't think I would be of much help... And more importantly, I didn't know these things because I had never been in a relationship. "It's okay , you don't have to..." he said, a layer of disappointment covering his face. "Thank you for understanding," I said to him. He nodded. I headed out of the elevator
I'm sorry about your loss Cami I hugged her I thought I know everything about you but I was wrong. She quickly broke the hug and took my hand in hers I'm sorry for keeping this from you but I never wanted you to get into this mess. I'm sorry. It's ok Cami. You are my best friend either you tell me or not. When I was talking to Cami, I smell something very sweet and strong scent out of the door, my heart suddenly started to pace up faster and faster. Eva also appeared in my mind as she sniffed the scent even more. "Mate" a word escape her lips as there was anger in her eyes. I can't word out my feelings that I felt at that moment. I don't know if I was happy or not. I just felt my heart beating like a drum faster and faster. I tried to calm myself as I feel the scent coming closer and closer to the room. I stay there stopping my breathe when the door opened and there was Mr. Gold along with some guys surrounding him here and there. He stood frozen as he saw me. His eyes
One day I was in my room, sitting under the bed thinking about these and that when I heard someone approaching to my room. I pretended to be asleep just to ignore the person but the person came to my room. The smell had made me clear who the person was, it was Liam. I was wondering when he call out my name all of the sudden. Riley I played deaf and stay silent inside my quilt to ignore him. Riley he called again and again. When I don't talk to him after so long, he sat on the edge of my bed at the end. He take a deep sigh before speaking "I never thought things would turn out like this" He continued "You can't stop leaving just because Mr. Gold left you." This time I sat up on the bed, he was right but there was nothing to be happy about in my life. "I just don't feel excited with anything now-a-days" I said "To be true I don't feel anything" I know this is because your mate is far from you. i have heard thaat a werewolf can't be happy without his mate but I see they can't even l
I could care less about the will or the property, all I need was Mr. Gold at this point. What was I going to do with the property. I asked Mr Clark to wait for me outside. He nodded and went outside , now I and Liam were the only ones in the room. He looked at me as he asked "What's the matter?" "Where is he" i asked him straight forwardly. "He? Who?" he tried to play dumb but I wasn't in the mood at all... "Where is Mr. Gold? when is he coming back" I asked him again. He went silent for a moment before sighing. Only then he opened his mouth He is never coming back and I'm no allowed to say anything to you. He gave you eighty percent of his property and asked me to take care of you ... But why? I shouted at him even though I knew he wasn't going to answer my questions. He got up of the seat and begin to walk out. i closed my eyes and shouted I know you know all about him. You even know where he is, you are just not telling me... Because he ab
"Hello miss, how are you?" she smiled politely at me. Who was she?... I have never seen her before, I thought to myself. "I said who are you? i asked her again. she looked at me with a smile and spoke i'm a nurse appointed to look after you. she was still sweet as her smile. a nurse? But who would appoint a nurse? Was it... I go t excited "Does Mr. Gold asked you to take care of me?" iI asked her expecting she'll nod with a smile on her face but instead she was confused and asked back who is mr. gold? Who appoint you to take care of me? I asked her again... it was Liam.. she replied and now my smile was totally gone. What I was thinking was not true, it was Liam instead? How are you feeling madam? she asked me. I'm fine totally. I replied her with a fake smile and she offered me a warm water. I gulped down the water in one go. It was then she spilled something unexpected. I never thought you will recover after this long. long? what long? I asked her conf
I felt like I have been paralyzed, I no longer was able to move my body. I felt intense pain in my body as if all the bones were breaking into pieces. I fell on the ground on my knee and my whole body was hurting so much. "Mate" I still could hear as Eva said so.., wait for what? Mate? wasn't it the voice I keep hearing from time to time... what the hell was going on? I tried to scream due to pain but I wasn't able to speak. Just then Beast turned towards me and walk slowly. His beautiful black eyes were glowing in the night. The pain in my body had reached its limit... I felt like I was locked up and all I could do was to watch, watch whatever I was seeing. I looked at my hand as it was in pain and then under the moonlight, it begin to change. at first, the hair on the hand was bushed up and then the hair was spread all over the body. I was so panicked as it happened, was I turning into a monster? I was looking down as my longs fingers and small nails were gone, inste
When I was almost asleep there were some noise in the room and I startled awake while looking around. It was Liam in the room along with the man that come earlier to fetch some documents. He smiled at me while Liam was shocked to see me here and I was confused with his reaction. His jaw was literally on the ground. "Liam" I called out for him and my voice drag him back to this world "huh? Ms. Wilson what are you doing here?" he asked me. I gave him a weak smile before answering him with a question "Where is Mr. Gold?" He seemed a bit akward as he turned to the man and ordered "Please leave us alone for a while. Do as I say and came to me before going home" he said to the man. The man nodded at us and leave the office with mw and Liam looking at each other. "So?" I asked him. "Mr. Gold he is in a trip for emergency meeting. He will be home in few hours." He said " But why did you leave home? You were suppose to be ho
He seems to hesitated for a moment but eventually he agreed and got out of the room to get me medicines and warm water. I was still on the bed lying lifelessly with my body as hot as lava. It was quite weird that I would recover any injury and wound but my fever wasn"t leaving me alone. I tossed and turned in the bed with my rapid breathe and dry throat. In a while uncle Frank entered the room with a tray having a glass of water and medicine in it. He helped me seat up straight and shoved it at my back. When I was done sitting he handed me the war water and medicine in my hand. I drank the water and also gulped down my medicine with it. When I was done with it Uncle Frank helped me settling down the bed again. After that he left the room with concerned eyes. It was sure hard to keep my eyes open for sure but it doesn"t mean I was asleep or something like that. I tossed and turned whole night only to found myself awake until midnight. But the worst part was that Mr. Gold
214 I closed my eyes as I thought I was going to fall hard on my face. However the pain that I was expecting never came instead I was caught into a warm and strong arms by a masculine body. I opened my eyes to see Mr. Gold"s handsome face in front of me. I felt sparks all over my body as he scooped me up in the air. I gulped as I look in his face and then I saw his lips slightly curved upside. What the hell, was Mr. Gold smiling? He take me to the dining area still in his arms not letting me to get on my foot. To be honest, I didn"t tried to get down. Not even once. Even though I knew his identity, I couldn"t help but to feel safe in his arms. his truth was not able to take away the feelings I got with him. it was so... weird... "Stupid girl" he mumbled as he put me down on my legs. I glared at him but he don"t even looked at me and sat on his place. I also took out a chair and sat on it. Uncle Frank was just at a side while serving food on the pla
After he was gone, I looked at Mr. Gold and he was staring at me with furrowed eyes. He seems to be thinking something but the way he was staring at me feel a bit...uncomfortable. I get up the table and decided to go to uncle Frank but instead he was coming towards me. "The rice was about to burn indeed. Thanks to you Ms. Wilson or else it might get burnt. Your smelling sense is indeed strong" uncle Frank praised me as he come to the living room. "Strong?" I repeated the sentence in confusion. "I thought it was normal" I mumbled to myself while looking at uncle. Then I looked at Mr. Gold just to find him still looking at me. It was a quite weird that he was looking at me like that and not just for a while but ... does he know that I found out...? This thought made me even more uncomfortable. I got up from there to run away. I can go here and there but I don"t want to sit here. Just as I was about to step on the stairs I heard a voice from behi
