SOPHIEI was thinking that I could seduce my manager and talk him out of letting me do this. He had been really nice to me when I first came here. I even thought that he was interested in me but he was not why I was here and so I pretended as if I did not see it. But since I really needed a favour, I would not mind giving something in return as long as I could get out of this. He was staring at me coldly. I was shocked to see that he did not get my hint. Or maybe he did not want to get it? He had never looked at me this coldly before. Did I do something to make him angry? "Sir....I really don't have a choice. Otherwise, I wouldn't be doing this now I really do need your help. So can you please...have someone else do it?" I asked him. "Sophie, this is the job that you are hired for. If you don't want to work, like the CEO said, then you can as well quit. You know that no one is forcing you to do this right? There is no need for you to be here if you don't want to work at all," he
SOPHIE"Is this how you do your job? You are going to stop anyone who is trying to see the CEO? I am telling you that I do know him. If he finds out that it is me and you have kept me out here for so long it is going to be so angry with you. If you know what is good for you let me in right now"When I left the manager's office I did not go back to my desk. I immediately went to the ceos office. I had to talk to Rowan and see if he would listen to me. I got to his office expecting to just walk in and talk to him but an assistant stopped me at the door. He refuse to let me go in no matter what."miss, I am really sorry but anyone cannot just demand to see the CEO and expect to see him. Especially since you don't have an appointment. If you really do know him as you claim then I am sure that it would have given you an appointment but you don't have one. Please leave here or else I would have to call the security on you " "But I am not just anybody. I am not a stranger. I work here. I
"If you don't think that you are fit to work here, then you can always quit your job. You don't need to be here. It's not as if anyone is forcing you to be here. I don't have the time to deal with this right now" Rowan told me. I looked at him pitifully. Was he really going to be so cold to me? Did he not feel anything at all when he saw me acting like this? Just what was wrong with him?!"You...it's not as if I don't want to work. Well, since Naya has already offered to do it, I think that we should just let her do it. There is no big deal ...she can just do it. I think that it will be a waste of time if I am working on something that she is already working on. I should be working on something else instead of doing something that she is already doing" I said. I was really trying my best to convince Rowan. I could not lose this job that I had just gotten. It wasn't just about the job, it was about the fact that I would no longer have access to Rowan if I was fired just like that.
SOPHIE"If you want go get fired,then you can go ahead and get yourself fired. There is no reason for you to drag me into it. Have you lost your mind?!" He yelled at me. "I....I don't know what you are talking about," I said. "You don't know what I am talking about?! What are you doing in the CEO's office?! You went there and you dared to cause a scene there? What did you think was going to happen when you went there?! Did you think that he was just going to let you get your way? Who do you think you are, anyway?" He yelled at me. I bit my lips. I was really pissed. I was just trying my luck to see if I would get what I wanted. What did I do that was so wrong? "I don't think that I did anything wrong. I was just trying to see if I could get out of this, you know.....besides, you were the one that told me that I should go ask him and so I was just doing what you told me in the end. He didn't agree to it but...." "Who do you think you are lying to, Sophie?do you think that everyon
LIAM"Well what do you think I should do for you in this situation? Make the design for you? It wasn't as if I didn't warn you. I told you that this was not a good decision and that it was not going to end well. You only have yourself to blame for not listening to me! I don't have the time for this, Sophie. You told me that you were sure that it was going to go thr way that you had planned. You told me that you had plans, isn't that what you said? Well go ahead and carry out those plans then!" I yelled at Sophie. Sophie glared at me, looking as if she wanted to get but this did nothing to me at allOnce again, she could only blame herself for what had happened, not me. What could I do to help her out of this?!"You can't....so you are saying that you are not going to help me?" "I am saying that there is nothing that I can do to help you. I can't do anything. You decided to do this and so you should think of a solution for yourself. Otherwise, leave me alone. Don't bother me, I don'
NAYAMom, that' not it at all. She is a really good woman. It's just that her job is very important to her and she has to work everyday. Okay, that's it. She is already out. We will be there soon," I heard Liam talking on the phone as I walked out. I assumed that the person he was talking to was his mother. I walked over to his car. He tried to take my hand in his but I just pushed his hand away. "Naya," he smiled as he called out to me. "Who were you talking to?" I asked him. "Oh, it was just my mother. It's good that you are here now, let's get going," he said to me. "Does she have any complaints about me? You know, if she doesn't want to see me, then she doesn't have to see me. No one is forcing her to do this. I can just go back home now. I hope that I won't be insulted when I get there," I said to Liam. I was planning on giving him and his parents a really hard time today. This was just the beginning. "Of course not. That is not going to happen. My mother is a really ea
NAYA"How can you say that she is just joking? That does not seem to be the case to me at all! His can something like this be a joke? It's her marriage. Don't tell me that she is going to use her marriage as a joke?" His mother was still glaring at me. I could see where Liam got his insufferable attitude from now. It was definitely from this woman. "Mom, please, that's enough. Can you please stop this? Let's just eat first," Liam said to his mother. "Yes, yes, let's eat. We were about to die of hunger waiting for the both of you to get here. Boney, let's order first. We can talk about whatever it is that you want to talk about her with her once we've all eaten. I think that our emotions are all just high and that we need to calm down now," Liam's father was the one who said this. He placed a hand around his wife and he made her sit back down. It seemed that he was the peacemaker of the family. Liam's mother was still glaring at me but I just rolled my eyes at her. What did she t
NAYA"You ...how can you say these things? Have you been playing with my son all this time? He really loved you and he gave his whole heart to you and this is how you are going to pay him back? Do you know much he begged us to come see you? He just wanted to reassure you of the relationship that you guys had and this is what you want to do to him? I cannot believe this. What has he done to you to deserve you being so mean to him? He really loves you and this is what you are going to do to him?" Liam's mother yelled at me. I rolled my eyes at her. "oh please. He loves me? Please spare me that bullshit. He loves me and yet he stood me up on the day that we were supposed to get married? He didn't think about telling you guys about it all this while and he only did it now? And yet he had the guts to blame my father for it? Liam, I know now that the decision to break up with you was a really good idea. I don't know how I put up with a person like you for so long but I am so glad that I am
NAYAI shuddered when I saw the cold look that was on Liam's face. My whole body was in pain and I knew that I would not be able to stop him if he really wanted to do something to me. I was really scared now. I had no idea what he was going to do to me...."What are you going to do to me, Liam? Rowan is going to be back soon. If you don't want to die, you had better get out of here. He is not going to let you off if you dare to do anything to hurt me," i warned Liam. Liam just smiled evilly. "Well he is not here right now. I am sure that I would have finished and even left before he comes back. You don't have to try to threaten me with him. I am not scared of him at all, you see. I don't care about him. Now stay put and just let me draw some blood from you" he said to me. "Don't come close to me! Don't think I am joking!" I yelled. He didn't listen to me. He was still approaching me. "Just stay put Naya, it's not going to hurt at all. I just need a bit of your blood to make the
LIAMI was not expecting Naya to wake up at all. Her face was really pale so whatever has happened to her must have been pretty serious. I was blown away when her eyes fluttered open. My heart was beating fast against my chest. I was still holding on to her arm and she was blinking at me as if she was trying to figure out what was going on. "What are you doing here?" Naya asked me. Her voice was really weak. She tried to sit up on the bed but she fell back down on the bed. He face went vent paler. It was obvious that she was in a lot of pain. She placed her hand on her stomach. "What happened to me?" She mumbled to herself. I scoffed at her. "You really have no one else to blame but yourself for this. You are the one who brought this upon yourself. If you had just listened to me and did as I asked, then we won't have gotten here. You have no one else to blame but yourself," I repeated this over and over again. "Liam....what are you doing here?" She asked me. If was as if Naya h
LIAM"What do you need me to do for you?" I asked him urgently. I was more than willing to do anything now. As long as it meant that I was going to keep my life. I didn't want to die. "I need you to rescue someone for me. He was taken by someone... I need to to get him out there," The King said with a frown on his face. I blinked my eyes. I could tell that he war trying to hold back as much informational as possible. I could not understand why he was doing this. If he wanted me to do something, then he should tell me what it entailed upfront so that I would be able to do a good job. "You need to tell me all that I should know about this person so that I can rescue them," I said to the King. He waved his hand at me. "you don't need to know anything more. You just need to know that he's currently behind held at the home of a man called Rowan. You just need to find out where Rowan keeps him and get him out for me," he said to me. I bit my lips and chuckled to myself when I heard Row
ROWANI looked towards the window and I saw that it was nighttime. I sighed, really worried about Naya. Was she going to come out of the place alive?.The thought of hrr dying was the scariest thing to me and I didn't really think that I would be able to take it if anything did happen to her. Henry came back with the drinks that he said he was going to get and he handed one to me. I took it from him and took a sip. I had to admit that it was really good just what I needed. Just then, the doctor walked out of the hospital room and I ran to him immediately. "Doctor....how is my wife doing ...she is not going to die, right? She is going to be okay right?" I asked him all in one breath. The doctor looked at me and shook his head and my heart started to beat fast against my chest. I didn't know what to do or say at that moment. The only thing I could think of was that she was dead. She had died. What was I supposed to do without her? How was I even going to continue my life without
LIAMI walked out of the princess room with a heavy heart. Although I would have liked to stay and talk with her some more, I didn't want to do that. I knew her father was going to be back any time soon and I didn't want to make him even more angry with me. I was walking back to the doctors office when I saw someone I never thought I'd see in the VIP ward of the hospital. It was Rowan and he was pacing outside a hospital room with a worried look on his face. There was another man with him who also had a worried look on his face. I hid myself in a corner so he won't see me and I continued to watch him. What was he doing here? Was Naya in the hospital? I got a report from the Elders in her pack that had left the pack since her father got better. What happened to her for her to be in the hospital though? I had a lot of questions. Besides,I wasn't even sure that she was the one in there. The other guy placed a hand on Rowan's shoulder. "I am going to go downstairs and get somethi
LIAM"And what do you want to see her for? Do you even think that her father is going to let you see her? You were supposed to have come back for the antidote for her soon but you didn't do that. Because of you, her life is in danger now and you think that for some kind of reason you can come here and demand that out want to see her?! "The doctor yelled at me. I bowed my head as he scolded me as if I was a child. I did not dare to raise my head or say a single word back to him. I knew that all it was going to take was for me to make a simple mistake and then they were going to deal with me. I didn't want to risk it at all. "No, you don't understand it. I just want to know how she's doing. I am not planning anything. How could I dare to plan anything when you're still her with me? I am really very sorry for what she is going through and I really just want to make sure that she is fine, okay. Besides, the King isn't here right now. I will be back before he comes back," I assured the
LIAMMy legs were shaking as I walked into the hospital. I walked into the doctor's office and I sighed in relief when I was that he was the only one who was in the office. What I was going to get from him was a scolding at least. The King was not here and he was the only one who could kill me. Seems like I still had some time to think of how I was going through convince them to give me a second chance. "So....what is your excuse, Liam? What lie are you going to come up with this time? You know, if you were not up to the task then you should not have lied and said that you were. It would have been much more easier for everyone else if you had just told the truth instead of beating around the bush and lying your way out! How dare you lie to the King?! Do you really think that you'd be able to survive this?" He asked me. I wanted to fall to my knees and plead, but I knew that it would be best to reserve that for when I saw the King. "You know that is not true at all. I have always
LIAMI dropped the phone on my table slowly. The call that I had just gotten was enough to shake me up. The princess had been admitted to the hospital. She was dying because she had not gotten the antidote in a few months. My heart was beating fast against my chest as I thought about what her father was going to do to me once he got his hands on me. He would not let me off. In fact, I was sure that he might even try to kill me. He would really kill me! I was so scared just thinking about it. All of the plans that I had made to get Naya back to her so that I could get some of her blood had failed terribly. She seemed to be aware of what I was planning and she blocked me on every front. I tried to get the Elders to work against her because I wanted her to come crawling to me. Once she married me to stabilise her father's pack, then I could do whatever I wanted with her right? That was why I had her father attacked, and pressured the Elders into asking her to get married. But it
ROWANNaya was in my arms, bleeding badly. Her eyes were wide open and she tried to say something but she could not nin the end, she closed her eyes and passed out.I picked her up and stood up with Naya in my arms. I knew I had to get her to the hospital as soon as possible. As I stood up, I was the rogue. There was a pale look on his face and the full weight ot what he had done seemed to be crashing down on him now. He took a few steps back as she tried to get away from me. I did not pay attention to him though as the only person I cared about in that moment was Naya and how I was gonna to get her to the hospital and make sure that her life was saved. I rushed out with Naya in my arms. Before I did, I turned to look at Henry and he nodded his head at me, indicating that he knew what he was going to do. ......Naya was admitted to the hospital as soon as I got here and the doctor told me that they had to operate on her. I was not even listening to anything that they were sayi
