Cora’s POVWithout looking at his face, just his scent made me shiver down my spine. The world is too big, and even though we are living in the same country it is really enough for us to meet this early? I want to hide Clyde, if only I can put him in my pocket I will.But for everything I want to do, there is none I can do right now. I have no courage to talk to him, my mind is not ready for something like this.I feel Zafer’s hand holds mine, squeezing it as if telling me that everything is fine as long, he’s here with me. But I should not burden him like this. He’s not a part of my past, so I need to face it on my own.“I just really want to talk to her, so if you excuse me then please let me have time alone with her.” He’s smiling yet his voice has the tone of commanding, he hasn’t changed.“But we are about to go home, Cora is busy…” I interrupt Zafer by pulling his shirt, he looks at me in confusion. “What’s wrong?”“I… I will talk to him, you guys just better wait here.” I said
Cora’s POVMy knees shaking, walking back to the car… Tears start to fall as I see my son’s face, his eyes are fluffy and red, and even his nose. I don’t know what to do now, words linger in my mind. Everything Ash said keeps repeating in my ears.“He fell asleep while waiting for you, he keeps crying and asking what is wrong but I don’t know what to say so…” He explains without me asking anything, those eyes looking at me as if he is asking what happened.“He’s asking if Clyde is his son,” I said, “no, from the very start he knew that he’s the father of my son.” I look at my trembling hands that holding each other tightly. “I deny it with all I can but there is nothing more to put in secret.”“Shh, let’s go home. Let’s talk after we arrive there, you don’t have to force yourself here.” He guides me inside the car, putting the seatbelt with gentleness. “Let’s go,” he gives me an assurance smile like he’s telling me that he will stay by my side and everything will be fine.He drives qu
Ashton’s POVIt’s been years since the last time I’m here after my parent sent me to England, they also cut all my contacts. All I can remember is that I’m with my girlfriend on the first day of hunting season, to be honest, it’s all my plan, to begin with. However, I can remember everything that happened that night.As I open my eyes, a week had passed and everything was ready for me to go to England. They did not even let me say goodbyes to my colleagues at work, friends, and Cora. I thought it would only take a while for me to return here, but it took me years to finally do it.“Alpha Ashton, where finally here.” The driver from the main family finally said something, “I already in form them about our arrival here and so, they are waiting for you in the living room.” He added as he opens the door for me.He bows his head once I finally step outside of the car, years passed yet the main mansion is still the same. The wealth and elegance that our family held since the first generati
Ashton’s POVDamn it! Good damn it! I want to curse them all, they all plan everything and no one even tells me about Cora who went here looking at me desperately that time. Why, why do I have no idea about it?“Father, I still feel sleepy from traveling can I excuse myself?” I tried my best to smile as I can, though, I can feel all the muscles in my body trembling.He looks at me with his cold eyes, “is that so, then if you’re really tired then you should go first.” He said and continue talking with others, I did not even see any worry in his eyes about me…“Thank you, father, please excuse me,” I stand from my sit and did not give any time to look at them one by one, as I got out of that room, I couldn’t help but clench my jaw from stopping myself to be angry. So, the reason why they cut all my contacts at that time is to stop someone to inform me about Cora.But cursing them all is not enough, I want to punish myself for being weak. Why? How could I let them separate us without me
Ashton’s POVI did everything, all I can just to see you again… But I did not ready myself to see you with another man, I want to pull you away from him but how could I do that? Of all the Alpha in this world, why him?I cleared my throat and gave my best not to stutter in front of you, but the truth can’t be described by only words how nervous I am. I can feel how cold my hand is inside my pocket, while the other is gripping the paper bag tightly with cream pies that we love eating.“Cora,” I whisper, the words almost not getting out of my mouth. I hold her hands afraid that she will run away from me. I want to speak again but he pulls her from me, carrying the child who carries the same eye color as mine.I can’t help but feel jealous of him, he’s holding them both without hesitation while I, who first met her and the father of that kid can’t touch them easily.He looks at me with hostility, emitting such territorial pheromones as if he’s protecting them from me. I want to laugh but
Cora’s POVI don’t know if I should get up right now or let him leave the bed first, Omg, what have I done? We act like lovers last night, moaning his name while grinding my hips… I can’t help but tightly close my eyes, the skinship between us escalated too fast.I can still feel the weight of his arms on my waist, hugging me like a pillow. I want to turn around and look at his sleeping face, however, I’m afraid that I will wake him up to the point I’m trying to slow my breathing just to make sure not to move too much.“You can breathe, Cora, I don’t want you to die in my arms.” His sweet gentle chuckles kiss my ears, “I want to keep acting like I’m still asleep but you worry me.” He snuggles his face to my nape, leaving small kisses on my skin.“I-I’m breathing, though…” I nervously replied I feel the electricity running up and down my body every time he lands his soft lips on my nape, it makes me shiver, feeling excited about something that I am not aware what is the reason for.His
Zafer’s POVThe house feels empty, I drive them to school and Cora decided to look for Clyde afraid that her son will disappear without her knowing. Maybe I should hire a bodyguard for that kid to put Cora at ease, that way I can take her by my side…Sound childish but I really want to do it… Err—this is not me.I have works to do too, yet I’m too lazy to face that Alpha right now. Knowing that he’s an EX and the biological father of Cora’s kid, jealousy is climbing in every part of my skin. Just thinking that he was the first one who touch and held her, I already got my first defeat.If only I got her first then…But still, I have her now. Well not totally but as long that she’s willing to stay in here with her kid then I have a chance, “damn it, I’m going crazy because of one woman.”I let my body fall down on the bed, being the only child of the family, I need to settle all the work on my plate, to not disappoint my father and the elders. So, even if I don’t want to meet that basta
Zafer’s POV“Good afternoon, Sir!” The receptionist greeted me as I walked inside the restaurant mentioned by my father, “do you have a reservation, Sir?” He politely added to his question.“ah, yes! Well, it’s under the name of Faye Layton, can you please check it?” I replied to him.“Oh, it’s Ms. Faye, please wait for a second.” He said and talk to the woman beside him, the woman kept nodding her head while looking at me. As they finished discussing something, the man was back in front of me with a wide smile. “She will guide you to the room, Sir.” He said and pointed to the woman.“Come with me, Sir,” She smile at me and walk first, it was a bit suspicious that they talk first before letting me know where is the room. Well, this is not the first time I come here so it’s normal when the room is for VVIP.“Are you new here?” I asked, this is the first time I meet her. Well, after all this is not the first time my father arranged for me to do something like this.“Well, I’m only doing
Tally’s POVAs how it should be done, the people from the branch family did not take long to stay at the main house. The thought I can go back to my room stop by the sudden announcement of the servant that my family arrives already.I feel like my butt is already starting to burn from sitting, now that my family is here, I’m sure that it will take longer than earlier.I know my parent, they will say whatever in their mind. But that is not the problem, it’s my grandfather who would not let someone rule over him. Changing the date of our marriage without prior notice surely irritates him.As I said, my family is not perfect at all. However, I’m excited to see them talking in professional mode even though they are both impatient to get what their want in this agreement.“Looks like your grandfather is impatient like me, what should I do to handle it?” Aston’s father looks at me with a smirk plastered on his face.“Oh, Alpha… My grandfather is a nice person, you don’t have to think about
Tally’s POVIt’s a bit uncomfortable, however, I have no choice but to do whatever thing that satisfy their eyes. What they expect me to do as the fiancé of the eldest Alpha son from the main family, but I know wearing this kind of clothes won’t satisfy them an inch… Especially those who have jealousy inside their heart.“So, she’s the one, she looks great.” One from the left side said he looks like in his late twenties Maybe his cousin?“What do you expect, she’d be dominant after all. Tito won’t arrange someone below the hierarchy, it’s given. Lucky you, Ashton!” They both laugh as if there is something funny in their conversation.I expecting to the elder to hush them, however, to my surprise… They even laugh with them. Only the main family remains silent, keeping their composure to let everyone tell that they are far higher than the branches family.Everyone immediately stops the commotion as Aston stands from his chair and pulls the chair beside him, he looks at me intensely as h
Tally’s POVI don’t know how many times I brush my teeth, and I feel my lips and gum feel so numb yet I can still taste how bitter that thing is. Tears fell down on my cheeks, it’s not what I want either. Yet, there is nothing I can do but act like everything is fine.My parents promise me to have freedom to do what I want, they are both trying… But my grandfather doesn’t let that happiness last for too long. After the problem arise at the company, the only way he can think is to send me off to that family.And refusing is not even part of my choice, knowing that he will use my parent to pursue and make me agree to his plan. Everything is fine, not until I realized which family and whose Alpha, he wants me to marry.Why of all Alpha, it’s Ashton?It’s been weeks since I stop to meet Cora, the guilt inside of my chest can’t take it at all. To see her smiling at me without knowing that I will get married to the man who left her alone.What will she think about it, will it be all right i
Ashton’s POVI can’t believe it, we drive each other to the edge of the cliff. Doing the thing we hate right now is a crazy thing… I hate her like how I hate what is happening right now, I feel disgusted myself letting someone touch me.But my body seems to accept what is happening, from how my heart beat so fast, my body’s heat rising, and how hard my penis keeps twitching and begging to suck; I don’t think I can stop it anymore. Maybe, I’m really trash after all."Don't think of anything while I'm sucking you, don't be rude," she said, kissing the tip of my penis. Her hot breath made me more sensitive, causing precum to come out immediately.I smirked, trying to hide my true feelings. "Because you are too boring, do you think a simple technique can make me feel aroused?"I was surprised when she burst out laughing. "Really, you're this wet?" Her fingertips run from my ball to my penis hole.Everything about her irritates me, including her confidence right now. Forget what happened t
Ashton’s POVWhy? Why she has to choose him over me?I kept asking myself various questions, which I almost couldn't answer. Because even, I don't know what else I should do to make her choose me again and come back to my side. Do I still have to do or do I even have to do anything?I could see in her eyes how serious she was about her decision, that anyone could understand that the fight was over. I'm already defeated, even if I haven't started yet.Damn! I want to shout, let the thing in my chest burst out. In the first place, it’s not my fault so how could she ignore it? I didn’t mean to leave her, I can’t do anything…Or, can I do something but ignore it?“Young Alpha, where did you go?” The servant immediately asks as I set feet inside the main house, “Your father is looking for you.”Father here, father there. I was like a three years old kid who can’t do anything without my father’s command. I gritted my teeth out of frustration, why do I have to be born in the main family and
Zafer’s POVAs I saw them together, I can’t stop to feel a knot in my stomach. I want to stop them, imagining pulling her away from him. It’s better for them not to talk it out at all, for Cora to keep angry at him and never think to come back to his side.It’s better if Cora only looks at me, and only me.The confidence inside of me crumbled, just thinking that there may still be a chance for their love to reunite. Then if that happened, how about me? How about my feelings toward her, will I be alone in the side looking at them happily?I tasted a taste of rust; only then did I realize that my lip was injured when I bit into it. the trembling of all my muscles proves that I can hardly bear to see them together and talking, I don't know how I can stop the mixed emotions building up in my chest.I didn't think that this is how true love is, there will be greed, selfishness, and other toxic things that can be imagined. I just want to lock her up in a place where only I know. But that's
Cora’s POVPeople in the surrounding started to whisper to each other, but nothing is more important to me than Clyde who keep crying. “Ashton, stop this nonsense, you know more than anyone here right now that it’s impossible! Don’t put stress to my son, we are okay without you!”“But I’m not! Why can’t you understand that it’s not my will to leave you that time? I love you, I love you that I feel like I’m going to die right now. Seeing you with someone else, my son calling another man his papa, and here I am can’t do anything but plead to you.” His eyes start to wet.I can feel how sincere and truthful his words, I feel pity for him but that the only thing and nothing more. There are not feelings for him now, so even he pleading a million times, we can’t go back to where we use to be.“Okay, I understand what you mean that it’s against your will about leaving the country and me that time, but years have been past. Even your parents don’t want me to be your partner, isn’t it too much
Cora’s POV“Mother!” Zafer stood on his chair hurriedly and walked toward me, “why do her eyes look like this, did you make her cry?” He cupped my both cheeks and stare worriedly into my fluffy eyes.“What are you saying? I’ve done nothing, we just talk about things that only women can understand. Am I right, Cora?” Her gaze is swift to me, her eyes have no stain of lies and only purity.I nodded my head without hesitation, “Your mother is right, we only talk about things… But it’s been so long since I feel something so comfortable since I become an orphan.” I hold his hand and remove it from my face, but I did not let it go.I can feel his intense gaze, switching from me to our hand. But it does not matter at all, he did enough for us, and doing it is not even half of his effort.“Is that so… then, if that’s the case I’m happy knowing you feel comfortable with my mom since she will be your mother too.” He chuckles.“How confident, even if she agrees to come here it does not mean she
Cora’s POVTo be able to stand outside of the huge mansion in front of me is enough to shake the confidence that I build for years, how could I ever try to step foot inside? I could feel my whole body go cold as the door opened by a maid, she bit shocked to see that Zafer is not alone.“Young Alpha, you are here again. Your parents are waiting in the garden, they are in a hurry to meet them.” She smiles at us, but there is something in her eyes like she questions my existence or maybe… I am thinking too much.“Let’s go inside, come here to my arm, kid.” He carries Clyde on his left while holding tightly my hand in his free hand, such a gentle way to make me feel that he’s with us.Walking in the long wide hallway of their mansion, I can tell how far our life is from each other. As if he’s an aristocrat while I’m just a peasant, from the start I knew how odd this relationship will be…“Woah, look at that the stairs mom, it’s too high and there are gorgeous lights in the ceiling! Can we
