What is this?My smile vanishes as I stare at an unbelievable text.Nothing, save the time and address is in the text message, with a small note to me saying, "Dear Vida, if you would like to know the truth about how your parents died, then do endeavor to show up at the appointed time and place."I'm taken back in shock as I try to make sense of this.My parents?Didn't they die in a car accident? Could there be something more to it?As much as I am baffled by this, I take into consideration that this could be a trap, but who will want to trap me?Who would know about my parents wanting to use this to lure me?Linda is already behind bars and so is Erik, and I don't think I have that many enemies."Ha! This is a really difficult situation," I murmur to myself, covering my face as I brace myself."I'll just have to let Dexter know that I'm going out for security reasons."With my mind made up, I grab my purse, make my payment, and dash out of the spa without waiting for my session to e
Dexter's POV"Alpha, we're ready for you," I'm told."Huh!"My consciousness snaps all thanks to a tap on my shoulder.I sigh, tired and worried as well."In a moment."How long has it been, there's still no sign of her and it's making me anxious to the point where I can't think straight.I glance at my watch, anxiously I wait but I have a feeling I'd be waiting for a long while.Dialing her number, I get the response I've grown tired of listening to."The number you're trying to reach is unavailable.""Dammit!" What is going on, I need answers and I'm more pissed each time I realize that I can't get any answers.This should be the thirteenth time already.Where's Vida?Ever since she sent that text about her going out, I could feel a very big gap between Vida and me.Her cheerful self slowly fading, and the look in her eyes whenever we meet, is sad, and disappointed, I'm confused with no idea what to do.Like a proper adult, I've tried talking to her to know if something's gone wrong
"Where is he? Where's that b*st*rd!" I yell as I make my way through the midst of their security, barging into the company of the darn dastard."Please sir, our boss is currently busy, he can't take in any visitors," they tell me while doing their best to keep me out.Still, there's no way I would agree to be kicked out because of such a petty reason, the man who's responsible for currently ruining my life, how dare that man walk all over me and think he can get away with it."Don't tell me such nonsense, now where is he!"At last, I spot a door by the left wing, leading to a big room, and hurry to it.The staff tried with all their might to hold me back but their strength was no match for me as I stormed in."So this is where you've been," I say with quite a sarcastic laughter.While I drown away in the sorrow of having lost my mate, he's over here, sealing deals with investors for his company.The mere sight of him fills me with hate but this isn't a time to argue with him."Where i
Vida's POVKnock! Knock!!"Bailey, the boss is asking for you," I'm told.I sigh as I reluctantly gather my things to leave.What does that b*st*rd want again?Irritated but with no option left, I find myself clicking my tongue repeatedly as I drag my legs to his office.Knock! Knock!!"Sir," I call out while standing outside the door.There's no reply, this makes me a bit pissed. Just how much does he enjoy frustrating my life, jeez?I open the door and walk in.He's seated with three other b*st*rds, chatting and heavy with laughter, too focused or perhaps busy pretending I don't exist while I walk in.I sigh, closing the door behind me.At once all three of them clear their throats, staring at me as if they have found prey."Bailey, what are you doing here, don't you know how to knock!" The old geezer yells.I roll my eyes knowing where this is heading and bow my head in apology, but hold on, why should I be the one apologizing?Quickly I raise my head back up and stare at the three
"Boys," I call out to them sweetly.It's silent and it's that way for a reason. Both of them have decided to go on a hunger strike in protest that I let them at least call their father.At first, I thought they were just ranting but it sure doesn't look like that anymore.Holding up the bagged snacks in my hand, I set them aside, taking a quiet step towards them, cautiously watching around to find those pair of eyes."Kids, I know you're in there, so come out, don't make me come find you, because you know too well how good mama is at tickling, who knows perhaps I might turn into a tickle monster and tickle you for eternity," I tell them."Hehehe…""Shhh…"That giggle!I turn around at that voice, it's without a doubt Neo, having fun as he laughs away his hideout.Carefully I move towards them.I can hear Ash scolding him in a whisper the closer I draw."Look what you've done, mama would certainly find us," Ash tells Neo."But I couldn't help it, I wanted to laugh so badly, besides, Ma
"Alright Everyone, I can see we're all seated," the boss says as he walks in, his eyes nicely fixated on me.Ugh, that b*st*rd.I turn away feigning a conversation with the co-workers so I can avoid his lustful gaze."Hmph!" I hear him go as he turns away."He's really on to you…" Alexa whispers."Tell me about it, forget that he doesn't look like my type staring at a woman with such obvious intentions, sheesh what a pervert," I mumble."Let's get started. Just so you know, the shares of our firm have been sold, and the new shareholder will be making himself present pretty soon, let's say in a few weeks so I'll be *ssigning some new posts and *ssignments that'll help us run the company a bit more proficiently, so everyone takes out your pens and starts writing down your roles and new *ssignment…"***"Tch! How could he dare, I bet he separated us on purpose," Alexa yells in frustration, pulling her hair.The meeting did not go so well for a few people who are Mr. Darlington's prey.Se
There he is, standing bold and striding with great confidence with people flocking behind him, trying to suck up with him.He hasn't changed, so I guess the only one who's changed after all this time is me."Dammit!" someone yells beside me, attracting my attention."What is it?" Everyone asks worriedly as we can see her gritting her teeth."Does no one see the hot chick beside him, we haven't got a chance next to someone like her, I mean look at her."Now that she mentioned it, Dexter does have a woman right beside him.She's average height with short brown curly hair, a bit olive skinned with beautiful red lips and a mole under her left eye. A rather stunning beauty if I do say so myself."Who could she be, I've never heard of her before," they murmur."You think his ex came back?" Alexa suddenly blurts.I choked on my saliva upon hearing that, to think they'd believe that woman was me when in reality, my looks were nothing compared to hers.One of them shakes her head in disagreeme
Tch!I click my tongue, averting my gaze as I rub my forehead while watching this man free his necktie."I've waited a long time for this," he says as he slowly approaches.Unafraid I sight a very lovely vase standing in the middle of the table, all it'll take is for me to grab hold of it and swing it as hard as possible, I bet then he'd know when to stop."You've been a very naughty girl, a bit difficult but I like it when they struggle, I'm telling you, there's this fun attached to watching women like you struggle that makes everything worth the wait," he says lustfully.His tie is already undone, his tongue licking his lower lips as he smirks devilishly.Great, to think I'd have him to add to my fu*ked up day.I'd like to ignore him right this moment and call Silas for help but I know I can't keep relying on him forever, it was a now-or-never situation and I had to put things right where they belonged."Sir, I don't know if you haven't noticed," I began, "but I'm in a very foul moo
