Leila sniffed and wiped her tears. All this was not worth her tears.She got up and made for the door.She got into David's office. He was talking to someone. But she did not care."You did not knock. You're late again."David glared at her. He pinched his eyebrow. He did not know what he would do to her.Collins looked back at Leila.He had no doubt she was his cousin's new Secretary.Leila had had enough of all this nonsense."I want to qu...."Collins cut in."You're Leila right?"Collins walked up to her. He was enchanted by her beauty. He offered his hand for shaking."I am Collins. I have heard a lot about you."Leila was speechless.Who was he and how did he know her name?"Don't be confused. I am his cousin."He pointed at David who was now on his feet.Leila did not have time for all this. Her head was seriously pounding. Her legs were weak. She could collapse if care's not taken.Collins offered her a seat. David was not happy with what Collins was doing.Leila appreciated h
Collins sighed. He knew what she meant.But that would not change anything. There were so many people out there that would gladly take up her position if she quit her job.David had always been rude to his employees.He thought he could buy anything with money. He didn't care about the well-being of others.He just wanted to be pleased."Another person would be employed if you quit, and she would suffer as much as you do."Leila clenched her fist.How many more innocent people would fall victim to his cruelty?He used people to his advantage and abandoned them when they were no longer useful to him.Leila wanted all this to stop. He needed to be taught a lesson. He's so pompous and manipulative."How can I make him stop."Leila asked him.Collins was not sure what she meant.Did she mean to teach him a lesson?Collins knew at this rate, she had to slow down. David was a dangerous Alpha werewolf.No one could take him down. David knew he was surrounded by people who hated him, and wish
David gazed at him."I don't dislike my employees."He said sarcastically.Collins laughed.He knew David did not care about his employees at all."How did you know Leila's name? Have you been stalking her?"Collins chuckled derisively.That was a ridiculous thing to do.He had forgotten he had indirectly told him."Seems you have forgotten how I got to know her name. You indirectly told me."David furrowed his eyebrows at him."When?"He did not remember discussing anything relating to Leila with him."Relax. Try to remember."David racked his brains, trying to remember what he had said to Collins.He laughed when he remembered.He was forgetful these days.He remembered between conversations with Collins, he had called out to Leila when he needed her to run errands for him. But she was not yet at work.He knew she was late to work again. So he bled."I seriously need to replace my Secretary."He pinched his eyebrow."I get it now."David slowly sipped his wine."She told me she woul
"Your eyes seem to be holding some secrets."Leila intoned.His eyes widened.Was it evident in his eyes he was weak?Anger flashed in his eyes."Nonsense!"She could not answer a simple question.He put his hands in his pocket and stared down at her.He glanced sharply at his suit. Did she not recognize the company's product?He had always worn the suits designed by his company."You don't even recognize our product if you see one."He was disappointed in her."The answer is in what I wear, not my eyes."He turned away. He wanted to shout at her.He turned to face her. Now that he looked at her she was breathtakingly beautiful. He ran his hands through his hair. He was distracted. He needed to focus.He did not know what he would do to her. What was this feeling?What had she done to him? He stared intently at her. She was not even remorseful. Was she enjoying it?He bit his lower lip.Leila knew he was angry. She frowned at him."You're elegantly dressed. You're feeling ecstatic."
For the first time in David's 30 years of existence, he was in love.He had never felt this way for any woman.Love humbled David and he saw the need to give chances to correction and change.He no longer waited for his bodyguard to open the door for him to alight from the car.He alighted and greeted the security man with a wide smile across his face."Good morning.""Good morning."The security at the gate post responded with wide eyes. He could not believe what just happened.He was taken aback by David's greeting. He had always been the one to greet David first, and he had never for once responded to his greetings.David greeted his employees as he made his way through to his office.They were all shocked by his strange behavior. He smiled. He loved the expression on their faces.Leila relaxed back in an ergonomic chair as she stuffed herself with a bologna sandwich. Collins was having fun videoing her with his phone.She laughed and waved at the camera.David stopped abruptly whe
Tina smirked at David."I will leave on my own. Don't touch me with that rotten hand of yours."She said to the security man.She glared at David."Did she not know you're an animal?"She looked back at Leila who was completely lost."I bet she did not know."She laughed loudly and walked away.David ran his hand through his hair.Leila stared blankly at the desktop before her. She had been used too. She had been fucked too.Was he like this to all his secretaries?Had David used Tina too as he used her, and now Tina was in love with him?Tina was telling the truth when she said he was an animal. Leila and Tina had both agreed David was not human."What are you thinking about? I caught you eavesdropping on us.""N-n-nothing."She stuttered.He looked into her eyes and held her hand.She was numb with shock. Why was he holding her hand?He fumbled for words. He did not know what to say. He wanted to kiss her right now that he was looking into her eyes.He had to come up with something.
He looked down painfully."You're not comfortable with me. Do you hate me that much?"He broke the silence.Leila shifted her gaze to him.The waiter brought their appetizer."Thank you.""You're welcome. Enjoy your meal."Leila fixed him with a penetrating stare.Was he dying anytime soon?Why was he behaving strangely?Why did he care now if she hated him?He did not care about her or anybody. He was a heartless monster who always wanted to be pleased.So why did he care now?Leila raised her eyebrows."Why did you care? Why did it matter now?"She had loved him, and what did she get in return?He had caused her a lot of pain. It was crazy that she had to endure it even when it was killing her.She had stayed and continued with work.She blinked back tears."I hate you. With every ounce of my breath."She hated him for the pain he had caused her. She hated him for still loving him till this moment despite all the pain he had caused her.His jaw was clenched tight.David stared into
It felt as if the world faded away for a brief moment."Yes. I love you so much. I will do anything to make you mine, and I mean it."Leila was speechless.What did he truly want from her? Did he want to play her again as he did last time?Would he make her go insane?It's so insane to tell her now he loved her. For someone who had played her, it felt untrue."Do you have to say that to play me again?"Would he have to lie against love now just to sleep with her again?What did he take her for?Did he think he would fall for his words?She laughed."What? Am I just a fool to you?"She would never fall into his trap this time.David was quite shocked to see her laughing. Was he a joke to her? He professed love to her and she was laughing.Was it funny to hear that from him?She stopped laughing."You're a joker."He was a cunning bastard who had set up rules with punishment attached to them so he would have his way with his secretaries.He knew all along she was in love with her, and h
The soft, white sand stretched as far as the eye could see, and the rhythmic sounds of crashing waves provided a soothing backdrop for the joyous occasion.David and Leila would be celebrating their love on a picturesque beach.The beach was beautifully adorned with delicate white and pastel-colored flowers, carefully placed to enhance the natural beauty of the surroundings. A romantic arch, intricately woven with cascading blooms, served as the focal point for the ceremony. Gauzy white curtains billowed gently in the coastal breeze, creating an ethereal atmosphere.Rows of comfortable seating, decorated with flowing ribbons and flower petals, awaited the arrival of their beloved guests.It was a beautiful day for both Leila and David. Leila was adorned in a stunning white gown, gently gliding down the aisle, Scarlet took her arms as they walked side by side.Her eyes were locked on David, the man she cherished and would spend the rest of her life with. It was the best moment, seeing
Leila's heart raced with excitement as she strolled hand-in-hand with David through a romantic park on a cold night.David held her hands and began."You complete me. Your smile awakens me, making me want to burst open...you are my strength and weakness. Without you, my life is meaningless."Tears glistened in Leila's eyes. A warm blush rose to her cheek. She felt a surge of ecstasy washed over her.She loved him so much too. Her eyelids fluttered.She gasped. She wrapped her hands around him and kissed him like it would be her last."I love you so so much."As they walked along a moonlit path, Leila saw a soft glow in the distance. Curiosity lit up her eyes as they reached an open area of the park, revealing a breathtaking sight: a dark sky illuminated with bursts of colorful fireworks dancing in the air which said,'will you marry me?'Leila wasn't sure she had seen it. She wasn't dreaming.She was amazed. Her eyes lit up."Oh my goodness! David, did you see that?"She turned her he
David ran down the stairs."See who's here."Rebecca cringed when she saw David.David sighed and removed his hands from his pocket. He was not expecting to see her.Leila knew Rebecca stayed with Collins and also lost her baby. David had told her all about it."I know you've learned your lesson. I hold no grudges against you."Leila meant what she said. Rebecca just had to start doing the right thing from now on.David furrowed his brows at Rebecca. She should thank her stars she did the right thing. If she had not come to apologize, he would have come for her.Ryan gazed at Rebecca. Her eyes were begging Leila and David. Ryan had intentionally let her in.She had to apologize to Leila for everything she did to her. Leila deserved all the apologies.Now that Ryan gazed intently at her, she was not on her knees. How could she be standing and apologizing?Ryan made her knelt. He pressed her down.He then winked at her. That was the right way to apologize."You can leave now. I will for
Scarlet, Thomas, and James came in with bouquets in their hands and wide smiles on their faces.Leila was ecstatic. Scarlet and Thomas looked like a couple when they stood side by side.They hugged. Scarlet was glad to see Leila. She meant the whole world to her.James had grown tall.They all had a lengthy conversation, giggling and laughing.It was all Leila needed at that moment. Their enemy was no more, it was everything to Leila.Now, she didn't have to sleep in fear. She had always worried herself out, doubting if everything would be alright in the end.She was glad her mind had found peace now.It was over.Thomas and James later took their leave. Scarlet stayed back, she had a lot to discuss with Leila."I know."Scarlet began.Leila did not get her. What did she know?"I know about Collins and David."Leila still did not get her. She wondered what it was she knew about Collins and David."Someone by the name.....Anna. Yes, Anna. She explained everything to me."Leila gazed in
He shoved it inside his mouth."Eat your eye! You evil bastard."He spat it out, moaning.Collins felt the World closing in on him. He muttered,"I hate you."He cackled softly. He would come again for Leila even after death. He would haunt her in her dreams and become her nightmare.David drove a sharp dagger into his mouth. He pulled it out and stabbed him all over the face.After he had destroyed his face, he unsheathed a silver dagger and drove it into Collins's chest.TWO DAYS LATEREverything felt like a dream to Leila. Her eyes snapped open.She didn't feel weak or felt any pain in any part of her body.She easily slid out of bed and made her way through the hallway to the living room. She had no idea what was happening.She was stunned at the sight that greeted her in the living room.She gaped.Anna saw her first."Leila."The rest of the werewolf family were having a discussion, they had not seen Leila quickly.Anna rushed toward her."How do you feel? Is your jaw stretching?
Tears streamed down her face.She had begun to feel nauseous. Something was pulling her from the inside.She wondered if that was her inner wolf. Her eyes widened. She had no idea what it would look like for her to change into a werewolf.She was sure she had been infected by Collins. A bite alone meant something."It's almost getting dark. I will begin the first phase of the honeymoon. The first phase of the honeymoon would be before we wed and the second phase would be after we have wedded. When it's full moon."Leila had not been listening the whole time. Her mind was occupied with the thought of changing into a werewolf.Collins didn't care if she was listening or not. He had come a long way. He could not wait to start the first phase of his honeymoon.He stripped her off.Leila was gobsmacked."What? What are you doing?"She was left only with her undies. She tried to break free from the chair she had been bound to.She was screaming.Collins did not stop. He fondled her breast a
Anna was sure Valerie had seen something."If you had seen the innocent Collins, you would feel pity for him. I thought it was cruel of Valerie to say that. I was angry.""You didn't ask her why she said you could kill if need be?"Anna asked Silas."She said I would know if the time comes."Silas answered and continued."I flared up and told her she shouldn't have adopted him if she could not show him care and love. Our parents didn't raise us to be cruel."David didn't say anything. He was just listening attentively. He knew Silas was going somewhere."I raised Collins. He was a sweet boy, I thought he would be aggressive. It baffled me I didn't see anything strange about his behavior."He paused and continued."My anger at Valerie intensified. I thought she said all those mean things about Collins because she didn't want to take responsibility for him. Some weeks later, Valerie divorced her husband and moved to California with her new lover."David had now become impatient. Silas w
She meant it."If David had not caught us, I would have slapped your dirty face. You have no shame!"She spat. He disgusted her.Collins exhaled deeply."Well, there's nothing you can do about it. If you do not want me, I want you. Jane would not have died if you did what asked you to do.""Get my niece's name out of your decaying mouth.""Should I brief you on how she died?"His lips curved into a smile."I also bound her to the same chair you are currently bound to. She begged me to take her out of this creepy place. She cried for her mummy and Aunt."Leila stared dagger at him. If eyes could kill, hers could have killed Collins by now."She was scared, she hugged me, I had no other choice. When I thought of you and David fucking, it made my heart bleed, and there was no room for mercy."He paused. He bent over Leila. He wanted her to hear what he was about to say clearly."I drove the knife into her left eye first."His breath brushed her face. Leila was shaking. She wanted to brea
They knew they deserved no mercy because they failed to do their job.David opened his eyes. He exhaled deeply."Collins is the devil behind all this. Get your things and disperse. We are hunting him down."He was sure they understood he meant weapons when he told them to get their things.They all looked at themselves with wide eyes. How was that possible?"Collins?"Ryan asked. He was lost. He wanted to be sure David had not mentioned the wrong name."Yes. I found out...he deceived us all."Scarlet was sure she had not misheard him. How could he be spewing nonsense?"What?"She moved closer to him and gazed at his face. Was he sure of what he was saying at all?David knew it would be hard for everyone to believe. Collins had the most innocent face that concealed his darkest heart.He slipped his hand into his back pocket and brought out Jane's journal.He handed it over to her. Scarlet collected it. She wondered where he saw it. Thomas had given the journal to Jane as a birthday gif
