Chapter 6

***

It happened so fast that Leila couldn’t believe how she had come this far. She was flabbergasted upon discovering that it was Hunter Black, whom her mother had been indebted to.

Well, technically, it was all her stepfather’s fault, but her mother had been his collateral. That man really had to give them a headache after what he had done to her!

She couldn’t believe him! A heartless beast if she might add!

But what’s worst was that she couldn’t believe how she had come this far and how fate was truly playing her right now.

She stared at the huge mansion in front of her as she managed to press the doorbell.

Butler Henry’s cold and blank expression welcomed her and ushered her towards the pathway.

She mentally heaved a deep sigh. Now, she was welcomed here already, and that was because she had no other choice but to be the one who would pay for everything instead of her mother.

“There are few rules that you had to remember while working here, Miss Leila.” Butler Hen

    Chapter 7 *** Leila was so guilty that she couldn’t just leave Hunter’s mansion. She wasn’t allowed on the second floor of the house, and she hadn’t seen Butler Henry go down. She had eaten the steak that she had cooked, and she had a tiny tinge of pain, thinking that she hadn’t even asked for Hunter’s food preference. How could she ever forget something as important as that kind of information?! “I should’ve asked…” She murmured under her breath. Then, a loud bang of the door suddenly interrupted her thoughts. Her eyes widened like a saucer as fear and worry instantly attacked her. She hadn’t heard the doorbell, and she knew that no one would enter the place – for it was only Hunter and Butler Henry leaving in this huge mansion. “Then, who the heck is this?” She asked herself as she immediately held the vase just beside her. Whoever, this intruder was, she would instantly shout to Butler Henry and alarm them. But that also meant that her life would be in danger. Her heart be

    Chapter 8Leila didn’t know how many times she had heaved a deep sigh as she plopped down the comfy sofa.Everything that happened that day was already wearing her out.However, what made her more perplexed was about what Butler Henry told her about a while ago.***Flashback…“But Hunter – err, I mean Master Hunter – seems like he is pushing his brother away…” She inquired nosily.She even corrected herself as Butler Henry shot her a knowing look.‘When can I ever get used to calling him ‘Master’? Tsk!’ She rolled her eyes inside her head as she mentally thought.Butler Henry heaved a deep sigh – like he was already worn out. She had been asking him too many questions since Hector went out of the mansion, and he might have cut his cord of patience because of her prurience.She swallowed hard – hoping that Butler Henry wouldn’t throw him out of the mansion for being too meddling.Leila just wanted to drop that topic when his next words made her more curious.“Master Hunter didn’t want

    Chapter 9In the forest, the eerie silence was being broken by a loud and fierce growl from a hurt animal. The owls’ hooting suddenly stopped – afraid that they might disturb the creepiness growing around the place.“You are not going to get away with this! You skank! I swear they will know who you are eventually!” A man furiously screamed as blood flowed into the corner of his lips.Behind his eerie black mask, a man wearing all-black jeans and shirt with a hooded long cape smirked.“Just try. I have already eradicated half of all the packs in here. No one will come my way, especially since I already handled the group.” He plainly stated – using his low and cold voice.He saw how the dying man in front of him suddenly looked so worried and scared.The man in his mask let out a loud bark of laughter.He was suddenly amused by how the dying man tried so hard to pretend that he was strong enough to stand in front of him. ‘What a fool…” He mentally thought.“Don’t make me laugh, you idi

    Chapter 10“I need you to do something.” Hudson said using his serious and cold tone.Hunter was all ears at his father’s words. He surely wouldn’t want to miss any of it.Right after his brother’s wedding, he instantly went towards their house. He didn’t want to be seen with his parents – more with Myrtle and Hector. It was too awkward for him to see the curious eyes of the people in their pack again.He let out a sigh inside his head.Apparently, his father decided to go home right after, too. So, that only means that this is something important. He was just too curious as to what it was.He had been away from the pack for a bit long and only Butler Henry was the one who visited the pack. He didn’t want to go home, as he tried to live independently.“What is it, Dad?” He coldly inquired as he looked at him with his serious eyes.Alpha Hudson let out a deep sigh. He looked a bit problematic despite his grim expression.Now, he felt like he needed someone to help him with this.“A lot

    Chapter 11“Why am I thinking about it anyway? As if it does matter?” Leila muttered under her breath as she walked towards Hunter’s mansion.She was thinking about Butler Henry’s words. And it was her third time thinking about whether to continue to go towards the mansion or not.But she had to go… as if she had a choice.Leila rolled her eyes at the mere thought of it.“Did he really marry someone already?” She said unconsciously as she pouted her lips.That certain thought made her heart sink.“Wait, why am I thinking about it anyway?” She still couldn’t stop herself from taking her monologues, and she frowned.“Why would I even be surprised? He’s handsome, tall, and hot… not to mention that she was also hot-tempered, snobby, and…” She tried to create her own inside joke about it but the sulking feeling attacking her system just wouldn’t budge.“He might not come home now, huh? Because… he’s married. Now, what?” Her lips pouted at that.“Why am I so bothered about it anyway? Ugrh!

    Chapter 12It took her time to gather herself together after her encounter with Hunter a while ago. She simply cooked some pancakes for Hunter – the best recipe to deceive time and escape any more encounters with Hunter.Right after Leila prepared his breakfast, she told Butler Henry that she needed to go home. She told him that she wasn’t feeling well and that she needed to rest.To be honest, she just didn’t want to see Hunter in the meantime. She felt hurt and wanted to calm herself.She was just grateful that Butler Henry told her that she could go home and rest for the entire day. However, she had forgotten her things at Hunter’s mansion.Leila scratched the back of her head as she stared at the huge gate – thinking twice about whether she would enter or not.Before she went home, Butler Henry gave her the spare key to the gate so she could go inside freely.

    Chapter 13Being shocked was an understatement.Leila remained in her living room, plopped down on the cold floor. The fast beating of her heart was like drumming near her ears – the only thing to which she could listen amidst the silence of the night.She was thinking of what to do next.Or it was rather – she couldn’t think of anything to do next, which was the exact thing that would surely define her thoughts.“Is it true? Or am I just dreaming? Hallucinating?” She murmured before she slightly slapped her face with her hands.It stung a bit as she bit her lower lip firmly.‘It’s true…’Her thoughts lingered as she felt like a candle slowly being melted by fire. She slowly laid her back on the floor – ignoring the coldness of it.She tried to pinch herself as if she wanted to convince herself that she might be wrong – or was hoping to be wrong.How could it possibly be… right?But it hurt – telling her that everything she saw wasn’t just a pigment of her imagination.“What the heck

    Chapter 14 *** “Master…” The man with pitch-black hair held his injured neck as he slightly bowed down to a man wearing a black mask and a cape. He was truly a mysterious man – hiding his annoyance behind his mask. “This must be good news, Viego.” The cryptic man coldly said. His voice was eerie, low, and as cold as ice – so cold that it totally made the man named Viejo, who was sweating bullets and was trembling inside because of the news that he was about to spill. The man standing shuddered in fear with his few words. He even couldn’t lift up his eyes. He swallowed hard as he gathered all his strength to speak. “W-We already found her.” He fearfully stated. No matter how much he tried to hide his fear and uneasiness – he just couldn’t. How could he be? One wrong move, and he might lose his head in an instant. Because it there was someone that he knew who was undeniably ruthless and merciless – it was the man in front of him. “And?” His master inquired as he leaned against h

You should have asked him if he was okay – not kissed him right there and then.’ She murmured inside her head.Then, her face turned redder when she realized that if Hunter didn’t groan in pain – she wouldn’t stop the kiss yet.“You are really an aggressive one, Leila…” This time, Silver tried to throw her a playful remark.Her lips protruded.Well, she had no excuse for that.She was just so happy – that she couldn’t stop herself.However, seeing how Hunter looked at her with that playful smirk on his face –
