George's POV.

I read the letter again and it dawned on me that she had gotten herself into trouble. But how?.

The letter stated that she had requested their funds receipt which is very rude to ask clients and they had to ask me directly before they would know the decision to make.

Wendy would not do something like this but how come her name is written on the papers.

Someone knocked again and before I could say anything,my secretary rushed in , terror lined in her face.

“I made a huge mistake, Alpha George,” she trembled.

I knew immediately what she was talking about.

“Is it this?,”. I said, raising the letter and she nodded politely.

“I'm really sorry,” she said again.

I wasn't angry at her because that was not what mattered, all that mattered was….

“Have you sent a copy of this to the clients?” I asked hoping she'd say no, but instead she nodded in the positive.

I frustratingly wrapped my head in my palms, thinking of what I can do next to make sure Wendy isn't caught up in all the m

    Wendy's POV.I was in my office when my secretary came in, reporting the most unbelievable thing to me - that I've been caught up in a mistaken issue.I was lost in thought of what I was supposed to do before one of their letters came in that I should have a meeting with them.Never would I have thought George would be there too.The location was Grand Royale, an exotic place that I have marked a long time ago. I didn't know then I would be going there for this reason.As I walked into the second part of the big place, I saw a decent group of what looked like business men and I knew immediately by instinct they were the ones.I walked closer, only to find someone unexpected in their midst, trying so hard to prove a point, and all I could gather was “.......to do with Mrs Wendy Ashton,” before one of them saw me and offered me a seat with a gesture.I didn't feel secure because I have never had a deal with them, so I opted for the line seat beside George and I felt him shift.The one w

    George's POV.The next day being work day, I quit turning over the bed and actually stood up pushing the carton of the cheese I ordered yesterday from my way.I put my hand on my forehead when I felt my body burning and indeed it was burning, but I ignored it as it's not the first time I will be burning like this.After a cold bath, specifically for cooling the fever, I stood in front of the mirror, overlooking the mess I have become.Despite the hell I've been through, I still had my shine - my handsome features. Seriously.I wore a light blue buttoned - down shirt, tucked it smartly in my navy blue chinos before I wore a blazer on it to complement.My accessories enhanced it and I've never looked that good. It would be a waste if I didn't see a particular someone to show it off to.As I greeted my staff I caught a whiff of my cologne myself and I knew exactly why they always gossiped in admiration for me.I settled on my chair with a mind full of hope, that today will be exactly lik

    Wendy's POV.After I left George's office with the flimsy excuse that I came to repay him for his kindness, I went home.I had left home this morning with no intention of visiting him, but my body didn't resist the urge and somehow, I found myself in the large space of his rooftop watching serene views with him.Making my heart beat again, letting my heart fall again.I was whipped, I know that. And I'm fully aware that it's just a tiny push needed and I will be at the front of his house knocking to blurt out my very obvious feelings.“Ugh…..” I winced as I hit my toes on a woody surface.I annoyingly sat in the bed, causing a rise in the space that didn't dip inside as I sat. I looked around, the big bedroom danced around me like a jelly but it managed to point out my loneliness.But I've lived like that for many years, and I can do more than that, I know.I kicked my shoes to a direction, unbuttoned my shirt and completely removed my clothes before I walked in the warm tub. It was

    Chapter 144.Wendy's POV.I cut the line. I was about to be caught and that was not the intention.I realized suppressing them - my worry and my feelings - could cause me to do the unspeakable, so I had to let some out and that was it. It's not meant to get intense or serious like the question he asked.But heaven knows I'm at my limit - one more phone call and I will throw every reason I think I can't be with him away and…….. and?.Go for it?. I don't really know, but I know something has to change the sleepless nights and blank minds I have been feeling. I had been prompted to call him after I sent the message and I didn't see his reply for about an hour. I was dead worried, because I know how bad his fever gets and that there's no one to take care of him given he laid his house helps off because of the betrayals he was getting. I remember pacing in the room, getting my toes knocked off by the same woody stool that I made a mental note of taking away, but you know when you're real

    Chapter 145.Wendy's POV.The not awaited meeting came and I found myself being extra for it.I combed my long hair in a way that the lushness was not hard to see, it was glowing. The goal is not to show my irresistible charm but to exude boldness.That way I won't be trampled on. The pack meeting was held in a massive stone building lined with old tapestries. It was large enough to hold many people but small enough to put everyone in the spotlight.When I entered, their gazes shifted on me but it didn't really matter as they were not the ones I got prepared to handle.The evil people come late.Then moments later, the elders came in looking as intimidating as they always looked. They went to sit behind the long table at the front. The air was tense and I could feel the weight of their states pressed on me but I didn't change position. I stood at the back, my arms folded on my chest as I watched all the movements in the hall.Their attention quickly shifted and I looked back to the

    Chapter 146.Wendy's POV.One second George was standing tall , the next his knees buckled underneath him.“George,” I shouted running towards him as he collapsed on the cold floor.Gasps tore across the room and everywhere scattered in confusion, the elders murmured among themselves, Edward took a step back.I didn't have time to look at his expressions as I was expecting help from them but his smirk was replaced with confusion.I dropped to my knees beside George, I carried his head in my palms and I felt his burning temperature.His breathing was ragged, and his heartbeat hollow.“George,” I lowered to whisper in his ear, “Come on, open your eyes,” I said but I got no response, just a fragile attempt of raising his finger.He looked so weak. He shouldn't have shown up in this state – it was obvious he was pushing himself and it has taken a toll on him.“Step back,” Edward's voice tore the silence.“Don't you dare come closer,” I glared at him and he stopped just at my front.He sm

    Chapter 147.George's POV.My words seem to have gotten to her. She turned back on heels and crashed right into the cushion next to my bed with a loud thud.It's not the exact kind of close I want but at least I get to catch the whiff of her berry cologne and I could hear her soft sighs.I turned to sleep in a way that I could see her every movement. Her head was thrown back, her hair spreading around the neck of the cushion. She was tired. I made her tired and I can't help but beat myself up for it.“I'm here now…and you're not sleeping,” she said coldly without looking at me and I immediately went wide eyed.I pretended like I shifted, “I'm sleeping,” I said in a fake snore.“Right? I guess you can stare at me while you're sleeping now,” she said, finally looking at me.For a moment I forgot the question, focusing on her brown eyeballs on me. She stared deeply like she was looking into my soul and my chest did a backflip.She blinked her eyes when she realized she was staring inte

    Chapter 148.Wendy's POV.He immediately caught me, and we found ourselves in an awkward position.His knees were bent to support mine and his arms wrapped around my shoulder - my back to be precise.Only that I can't afford to be precise at this moment. My chest kept threatening to erupt and I could feel his calculated breathings.Everything was not normal, and the casual air seemed to be replaced with tension - sexual tension.After what seemed like eternity, he detached his arms slowly and carefully, but as I was about steadying myself, his hands slip and I fell butts flat on the floor.“Fuck, are you okay?” he exclaimed immediately crouching down to my level.He touched my arm in a bid to apologize but I shook under his touch which made him retract immediately.“I'm sorry,” he said, standing up from the floor.He reached out his hand and I took it hesitantly. I dusted my clothes immediately and I was back on my feet.“It was a mistake, I know,” I said and he nodded, pinching his f

    George's POVI woke up to sunlight stabbing me right in the eyes. Annoying as hell. I groaned then turned my head, but I immediately felt it , her soft skin under my arm, warm breath on my chest.Wendy.She curled into me, her face was pressed against my chest. Her hair was a mess, it was all over the pillow and my shoulder. I could feel her breath, it was soft and even, against my skin. My arm tightened around her waist.I wasn’t dreaming, right?My eyes opened the more, adjusting to the light. No, I'm not dreaming. She was real. And she's here.Her lashes fluttered, then her eyes opened — those brown eyes that always made my chest feel tight. She blinked but sleepily.“Mornin’,” I said, my voice was rough.She made a small noise, her face scrunching up like she was annoyed I even spoke.“Too early,” she mumbled. “It's…too…early.”I grinned. “It’s almost noon, ma'am,” “When do you plan to wake?”“Too early,” she repeated again, her hand slid up my chest and it rested there, her

    George's POVI walked out of Wendy’s apartment, my heart beating hard. Too hard. I could even hear the sound in my ears. For the first time since everything happened, I felt hope. Real hope.She didn’t say yes completely. But she didn’t say no too. That was enough for me.Her words kept coming back to me as I stepped into the night air. What if I really leave everything behind?I grinned, from ear to ear, shaking my head. I will wait. As long as there’s one small chance, I will wait.I entered my car and started driving. The road was quiet. Only the streetlights and the sound of the engine. My phone buzzed on the seat beside me. I reached for it, my eyes looking at the screen.It was my spy.I sighed and picked it up. "What?""There’s movement," the voice said. "Edward is restless. Something big is happening tonight."My jaw tightened. "Watch him. Let me know if anything changes."I ended the call and threw the phone down. Edward again. That bastard. He wasn’t going to ruin this. Not

    Wendy's POV"I’ll be there."he had said.I wasn’t so sure. I wasn't sure of everything, yet all I want is stability, and I have only two options. I go on that trip that leads me to avoid George or I get back with him. But the hard part is, either of the options work well with me.But the second seems more bothering, now that I have his possession with me.I pressed a hand to my stomach. A life growing inside me. His life.My ringtone completely pulled me out of all my thoughts.I thought it was a call from George, but …It wasn’t.It was a call from an unknown number.I hesitated, then answered. "Hello?"Silence.A knock sounded at the door. It must be George, but can I take risks?.I stiffened. "Who is it?""It’s me," George’s voice came through.I hesitated, then stood and opened the door.I inhaled a soft breath, it was George."Can I come in?" he asked.I stepped aside, letting him pass. He walked inside the room, but his eyes were on me the whole time."You didn’t have to come ba

    Wendy's POVI sat on the edge of my bed, the pregnancy test still sitting on the bathroom counter. Two pink lines. Positive. The result kept flashing in my mind, over and over again, until it felt like it was carved into my skull.Pregnant.My hand drifted toward my stomach. A life—George’s child—growing inside me. I should have been freaking out more, panicking, but instead, I felt… numb.No part of me regretted it. Not really. But the weight of what this meant… that was the part I wasn’t ready to face yet.How was I supposed to tell George? Or was I even going to tell him at all?My phone buzzed beside me. I glanced at the screen. A message from George.George: Are you okay? Wendy, answer me.I sighed and tossed the phone aside. He wasn’t going to let this go. I know how relentless George can be especially when he suspects that something might be happening.I rested my head back on the bed, nothing was running through my mind. I stared at the ceiling, trying to know what to think f

    Wendy's POV "Why?"I was about to answer, but suddenly a strange wave of dizziness hit me. My head screamed."Wendy?" George stepped toward me. "Are you okay?"I forced a smile. "I'm fine."His eyes burned with concern. "You don't look fine.""I'm just…" The dizziness started again, and this time, it was followed by a twist in my stomach. I pressed a hand to my mouth as a wave of nausea climbed up my throat."Excuse me—" My voice broke as I turned away from him, practically running toward the bathroom in the conference room.I almost didn't make it to the sink when I was vomiting. My hands gripped the cold sink as my stomach was poured out , my body trembling.Behind me, I heard the door open. "Wendy?" George's voice was sharp with alarm. "What's …”"I'm fine," I said , choking, wiping my mouth with the back of my hand. "Just… give me a second."He didn’t listen. In a second, he was beside me, his hand brushing the hair away from my face. "This isn’t fine, Wendy. What’s wrong?"I sh

    Chapter 154.George's POV. She hung the call before I could say Jack.I picked my car key before I stormed out of my office, gaining attention from the staff, especially my secretary who was , at that time, in the office with me.The drive to the Peak Hotel felt longer because of the packed road. My hands tightened around the steering wheel as I drove through the traffic, my mind running with different thoughts. Wendy already knew. Of course, she knew. Nico and the others , I should have known they wouldn't be able to keep up the act for long."Shit," I muttered under my breath as I pulled into the hotel's driveway. The valet approached, but I waved him off and parked the car myself. My heart was hammering as I stepped into the hard floor of the hotel, the soft hum of music didn't help with the situation, I just felt sick to my stomach.Conference room A2B. I knew exactly where it was.I spotted her the moment I pushed the door open. Wendy stood at the window, arms crossed, her b

    Wendy's POV.I stood in front of Peak Hotel, taking my time to admire the luxurious building while the valet left to park my car.When he returned the keys to me, I exhaled sharply before I entered the hotel.Conference room A2B. I really hope I get it in the nick of time.Minutes later, which is still in my favor, I was standing behind the mahogany door, inhaling and exhaling.I hated to admit how nervous I was. And anyone in this situation will probably be more nervous than I am. The investors are not just investors, they are big in the industry.For them to have picked my business to invest in, I must not mess anything up. And God help me with that.I wondered why they're not public, but I knew they couldn't care less.Hesitantly, I got myself to knock.“Come in,” a timbre voice said. I opened the door. a short gasp fell out of my mouth.The first thing that took my breath was the floor-to-ceiling windows that were as clear as air.In the middle of the room sat a long ebony table g

    Wendy's POV.I was going to leave. But I have to close an important deal, before I hand over my business to an expert.Yes, I was planning to leave it all and go, and that's how my meek revenge plan went.I will leave till I hear the news, that maybe one of them is out of the way – either in prison or…who knows.That's how weak I am, I'm not taking revenge, am running from revenge, hoping someone will take it for me.I was deep in my thoughts when someone interrupted me.“Berlin,” I called.I eyed the man in front of me. He was in a corporate wear of suit pants and ironed out shirt.“Any news?” I asked, knowing he wouldn't be here if there was no news.He nodded. I gestured for him to continue.“Apparently Alpha George had a blow match with Beta Edward,” he reported.Immediately my eyes squeezed shut as I took in the information.“Was anyone hurt?” I pushed further.“The angle it was taken from showed it vividly,” he said as he showed me the picture.I zoomed in on it and my heart s

    Wendy's POV.My fingers traced the thick rim of the wine glass while I waited for him in the same grand restaurant I have always wanted to go.I knew he would want an explanation. Or maybe just something to let him know he's in his right senses.And he is, but I'm not.As my focus drifted , I let George linger in my mind – his touch, his warmth…everything.A sharp knock on the table pulled me from my thoughts.George appeared with a wide smile but I maintained a straight face. He looked dejected at that instance and of course, I beat myself up for it.“Why did you leave? – I thought you were ready to stay,” he finally said after a long, uncomfortable moment of silence.“It was just a fling and you know that,” I said almost immediately, like I had practiced my response. I bit my inner cheeks. I don't want to sound harsh to him.“Really? But I'm not ready to call anything a fling with you,” he said, his face dripping with determination.I sucked in. How am I going to make it clear to h
