35Queen Rosina's POVI stormed out of the hall raging in anger. What the hell just happened in there? I, Queen Rosina was pressed on the table and forced to apologize to that bitch called Wendy. How she's not six feet down the earth is shocking. I watched the car bust into flames with her in it, so how come she's here showing her ugly face? I walked to my car still fuming. "Are you okay?" Max asked and I ignored him. I don't want to say a thing, because once I do I won't be able to stop myself from ripping that bitch in pieces. I'm already concocting ways to end her when my phone vibrates in my bag. I bring it out to see a text from Gerald. I scoffed at it, who in their right senses sends this? What does he mean by he has no idea what his next action will be? He's a man who should take up responsibility sometimes. I have no idea where Brittany would have gone and I pray she does nothing stupid because if she screws up a pattern of my plan, I would end her the same way I want t
Ch 36Queen Rosina's POVI heard a chuckle and then a maniac laugh. I lifted my head to see Brittany laughing to her fill, water creeping from her eyes. "She was always a sneaky bastard." She said. I frowned while she kept laughing, clutching onto her stomach. "Your plans have started failing, Queen Rosina and if you're not careful you'll go down." She stated, getting on her feet, trying to leave when Gerald held her back."You go nowhere, we are in this together." He snarled, slamming her to the wall. "Whitney did this, we have to get back at her." He said and Brittany chuckled."Was that a chuckle?" Gerald asked, advancing close to her. "By all means, please what's the plan?" She asked, holding back a laugh. "I have to clear my name. Say it was a misunderstanding. I would use Armstrong Corps resources for that." I muttered."Great, then what else? How do we deal with my whore of a sister?" Brittany asked and I glared at her. "Did you just use the term 'we'?" I asked and she m
Ch 37 Queen Rosina's Pov Okay, I'm finished. Throughout the night, I toss in my bed, unable to sleep. I woke up the next day with a piercing headache. "You okay?" Max asked, making his way out of the bathroom, a towel wrapped around his waist. I groaned, massaging my forehead. "Headache," I answered. "That's what happens when you don't sleep at night. What's bothering you?" He asked, coming to where I was. "A lot. I received countless threats last night and I have no idea who sent it." I said. "Threats about?" He asked, placing his forefinger on my head and massaging it. I moaned at the slight relief it gave and craved for more. Whipping out my phone from where I kept it, I showed him the text. His demeanor changed immediately. "Who else knows about us?" I asked. "No one, just us. We've been so secretive I don't think anyone would be able to make a pattern." He answered, dialing the number. 'The number you dialed does not exist' The exact same thing it s
Chapter 38 Queen Rosina's POV "Armstrong Corps," I muttered to Brittany, using my piece of cloth to wipe my body. I got shoved a few times, thereby coming in contact with those peasants. Brittany chuckled and I looked at her. "What's funny?" I snarled in disgust. Everyone around me felt icky and disgusting. "I saved your ass, the least you could do is be nice." She said, focusing her gaze on the road. "Four slaps and your brain still hasn't reset," I mumbled, still wiping my hands clean. I smelt of Poverty and I hated it. I was going to sue them for what happened today, I just need to clear my name. "Karma is coming for you, my lady. Watch your back. " She replied instead. My frown deepened and I wondered if I had wrinkles all over. I've been doing a lot of frowning this day. "Guess what, Brit?" I said. She stared at me through the rearview mirror and I continued "When it comes to me, you won't be left out. Watch your front." I fired back. She glared at me throu
39Wendy's POVI didn't sleep a wink last night, I don't know but I kept tossing and tossing. After some time, I got up. I needed something to take my mind off things. I decided to work on my impending projects. Just as I grabbed my laptop, I felt a sharp pain in my knuckles. I winced, taking a look at it. It was red, like bruised red. I don't remember hurting myself before I went to bed, so why am I waking up to a bruise on my hand? I was still contemplating where I got the wound from when I felt a sharp pain in my chest. "Argh!" I groaned.I had unbearable chest pains growing up, but on a scale of 1 to 10, this was a 6.I felt the pain again and I groaned, falling to the floor. Okay, this is a 9 and a half. Tears pricked at the corner of my eyes, threatening to fall. I blinked then back, searching for my pills. I found them quickly, throwing two pills in my mouth and swallowing. I lay on the bare floor, waiting for the pain to subside. I threw two more in my mouth, I would re
Ch 40 George's POV The moment the door to my office opened, I knew who it was. Rosina. Immediately my eyes met her, I felt like strangling the life out of her. I held back my anger, placing my hands on the table as I got busy. I prayed within me for her not to say anything daring because I wouldn't be able to hold back my anger. "I can't be fired from this company, I'm an elder and also a shareholder." She stated This was the only statement I could register in my head the moment she walked in, the rest was just babbling. I stared up at her wondering how it would feel to strangle her and watch life seep away from her. Fun. "You are an elder of the pack and no, as of noon last night, someone else replaced you as the shareholder. Now if there's nothing else, kindly get out, Rosina." She stared at me in horror, taking her time to register what I just said. "You can't do this George." She babbled. "If I get to hear my name once more from that pathetic mouth of yours,
Ch 41 George's POV "Hurting yourself like that was extremely stupid." He scolded and I smiled. "That looked like the best option at that time," I replied. He threw me a glare "And you just couldn't hold yourself back?" I sighed, knowing fully well he wouldn't understand what I was currently going through. "You wouldn't understand Edward," I muttered. He nodded, still going through the files. "Is that something you could get a team to do?" I asked. "Yes, but there's something I wanted to say." He said looking up at me. I gave him the go-ahead and he said "You saw her social media post. You going there?" He asked. I adjusted my seat, looking at him. "What do you think?" I asked back. "That was a post for me to see, if she didn't want me there, she wouldn't make it public," I said. "That might be true, but we still don't know what her plan is. What if you go there, you're walking directly into a trap?" I didn't think of that. "What plan might she h
Ch 42 George's POV "There's something called coincidence, Alpha. " She snapped, opening the door and leaving, slamming the door in the process. I stood there, watching her leave. I sat down on the available seat beside me. My head kept replaying her dress and the way she looked seductive. Her response earlier shook me and I kept wondering what she might have gone through in the past six years without me. What experience did she get that changed her? I played a big part in that role, but still. This Wendy felt and looked like she had nothing left to lose. She doesn't care if she dies, as far as she gets her revenge and we all go down with her. My phone vibrates in my pocket and I bring it out to see a text from Edward. 'Has she killed you yet? We never had a conversation about where you would like to be buried' I chuckled at the text, quickly typing back a reply. 'I'm still much alive much time your disappointment. For where I would like to be buried, on top of yo
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
Chapter 150.Wendy's POV. The golden light filtered into the bedroom, directly into my eyes.My eyes immediately squinted as they made contact with the streaks of sunlight. I turned over to the other side and I saw him, still sound asleep.The events of the previous day played in my head like a perfectly working CD, and a blush crept up my face.I was still naked, given that I was undressed after the warm but not near innocent bath.It was the best sex I have ever had, with George of course because we both wanted to savor the moment and take everything it has to offer. To be honest, i didn't rethink or regret my decision as at yesterday. But now that I'm awake and he's not, I feel I need a moment to know what's next.It's definitely a topic we would still discuss, and I don't think I'm ready to make our ‘fling’ more than that.All I want in my life for now is for my business to thrive. I know it's already among the top three, but still I want more.Whitney Decodes must be a worldwi
Chapter 149.Wendy's POV.He was taking too much time outside with Brittany.I didn't tell him it was Brittany because I was scared to see his reaction. What if he didn't look as angry as I wanted him to be?.When he opened the front door, I turned back from the staircase.I loathed to admit but yes, I was eavesdropping.And I heard everything. The point where Brittany called me a girl to the point he defended me, saying I'm the woman he loves.Still, I was feeling both emotions. Jealousy and happiness.Jealousy that Brittany was standing in his front and I know she won't keep her hands to herself.And happiness that he finally spelt it out to her how important he said I am to him.As he left his final words and turned to enter, I quickly ran into hiding.He sat on the couch, fuming.I gently walked towards him, “You're fuming,” I said behind him and he immediately looked back.Terror was written on his face and he walked to the back of the chair where I was.“You’re here,” he said an
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
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 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
