Dexter's car pulls up at the mansion, at long last, after an hour-long ride with nothing but awkward silence, we finally arrive.Bam!My anger pounces upon the door as I slam the car door quite hard."..." Dexter stares at me as I walk inside leaving him behind.I'm greeted by a circle of maids standing at the entrance leading to the stairs and whispering amongst themselves as they chuckle, "What's going on?" I ask.At once they freeze and quickly rush to greet, "Good morning ma'am," although their voices are in unison they're whispering and frightened which I find rather odd."Is anything the matter?" I ask worriedly, hurrying to put away my bag as I make my way towards the entrance."No, the young masters are just playing a game so we're watching," the head maid answers.The entrance door closes with a creak and everyone hurries to bow their heads avoiding looking Dexter in the face.I could only understand now why they looked terrified. They must have thought they were acting out o
A hand greets me with a wave and I make haste to table thirteen, panting from all the running I've been doing."Did I make you wait long?" I ask Catherine as soon as I reach her table.She seems to have been waiting for a long time seeing as she raises one eyebrow and stares at me."It's nothing, besides it was I who asked you for your help," she answers.Catherine signals to a waiter who hurries to her side, the both of them whisper a bit, contemplating the list until he finally leaves, and she responds with a "thank you.""I didn't expect you to contact me, tell me, did something happen?"She remains silent, staring at her phone as she scrolls through the screen. "Is there anything I could do to help you? I may not be able to do much since I'm only human after all but I'll try my best."Ha~A long sigh escapes her lips and she finally looks up.Her back straightens and she puts her phone on the table and stretches out her hand to hold her mind."Vida! You're exactly who I need and w
Ha~I let out a frustrating sigh as I tiredly collapsed on my seat.It's silent and I think I prefer it this way for now. After hearing Catherine's story, I was not sure what to say or how to react and ended up leaving the restaurant early."What do I do now?" I wonder.Continuously I bang my hair upon my table as my troubles get the best of me, each time I try to gather myself Catherine's story fills me with so much sorrow and anger at the same time."Some people are just born *ssh*les," I tell myself, gritting my teeth in disgust. "Let's first find out who this man is."I waste no time as I grab my laptop to discover who this man is.With Catherine's look and wealth, there's no way she's not on the internet.My fingers dance on the keyboard as I type the name "Catherine…"In less than a second, her name pops up at the top of the search.d*mn, I knew she was famous but I didn't think she was that famous. "Catherine Bonnethe… C.E.O of B-faire cosmetics."Wait a minute.Puzzled I stret
The sound of water flowing keeps me from losing my mind as I stroll along the riverside walkway. With dark clouds in the sky and no sunlight to bask in, I take deep breaths of the cold air and sigh heavily."This is difficult," I whisper to myself.Plop!Plop!!One by one drops of rain landed on my face, the skies could barely hold back and it began to drizzle, the temperature dropping drastically and I had to run to shelter as I could sense the coming rain was no joke.Making a run for safety, I feel a heavy blow against my skirt, "sh*t!" I cry out of frustration as I try holding it down from both sides while I run."This looks like a nice spot," a cafe door was wide open, although not literally, the sign on the door did say "open."I make my way inside and take shelter before the rain can outrun me.I shiver as I make my way inside, my teeth gnashing against each other and my arms tightly wrapped around me."This feels like perfect weather for two," I mutter to myself with a chuckle
"I know the laws are against what I'm about to do," she says to me, her eyes staring elsewhere as her fingers fidget, "but I refuse to let them or fate decide for me, my husband isn't nostalgic for me, we've lost our touch, and now I don't want to be separated from my cubs."Staring at her I realize how well she suits her role as a Luna.There's no way any woman I know or have come across will be able to fill in the shoes of this strong-willed woman."But that'll be difficult, I mean they're heirs to his legacy, I doubt the pack would be willing to let you separate from either of them, if you're granted a divorce and not custody, it'll mean you may never see them again," I tell her.Our worlds fall silent, she knows I'm telling the truth, and it hurts me that this is also the unfortunate truth.I wouldn't want to be separated from them either."Well…" she says with a straight face, "that's the reason why I'm here, that's why you're my only option."Her eyes are filled with a burning w
Thud!I shut the door gently, making my way to my table, suddenly my office echoes all around."Gosh!" I yell, jumping out of terror as I stare at my desk. It's the office intercom. Relieved, I hurried to my desk to answer before the call could end.A glance and I roll my eyes, it's from Dexter's office. I surely wasn't expecting his calls anytime soon."Come to my office, immediately," his tone is sharp, cold as always, and very commanding.He sounds like he's in a terrible mood, and I don't think I have it in me to add to his anger so he could take it upon me.This doesn't seem like good timing and yet I can't seem to dodge this one.Dragging my feet to Dexter's office, I groan annoyingly, this should be the sixth time I'm making such a sound. The closer I draw, the more my anxiety rises as I wonder what he has to ask of me.Finally, the elevator opens and I'm facing the door to his office."You can do it," I tell myself to add a little boost of encouragement.Knock! Knock!!"Come i
Unable to move as I am under him, I simply stare waiting to see what he will do next, but all Dexter does is growl while breathing heavily.It's embarr*ssing being so close like this but I don't want to be the one who turns away and looks like a coward so I keep staring at him, and the both of us engage in long staring contests."Tch!" He clicks his tongue before letting my arms go and backing away.Seeing as I had won, I sat upright, watching as Dexter walked back to the window and stared out.I sit upright, arranging my clothes, and walk up to him refusing to let the matter just slip by, since he's he11-bent on not taking up the case. It'll be necessary to know why he thinks so.Or so I thought, "I believe my choices are not against the company's code of conduct, nor are they in violation of the ethics of a lawyer," I say to him.He glances at me quickly, "So what?" He asks."So… that means I'm going to take up the case because clearly, nothing is restricting me from doing so, your
Hahhhhh! I can't believe I said that.Only after chasing Linda away did I realize that I had just thrown Dexter's fiance and an Omega out without any regard.To be fair she had it coming. Recalling the look of shock on her face as she used her two feet to help herself out made me giggle as I returned to my work.Ding!The alarm on my desk goes.I check the time… it's 4 pm sharp. I rise from my seat a little and hurry to the door, sticking my head out as I scam through the environment. It's quiet! It seems a couple of staff members have gone home."Oh my, you're not leaving yet Miss Vida?" My colleague asks, staring at me from her desk.I wave to her and shake my head, "Not yet, I still have a few paperwork to deal with.""Work huh, don't over-exhaust yourself, once you're dead, the most that'll happen is that we'll mourn you, after that, it's back to work," she says while grabbing her bag."...noted," I answered sharply, "alright then goodbye."As cold as her words are, they're very m
