Kayla's POV"So, this is why you came back?" Harrison squeezed out a cold laugh from his throat, "Because you found a wealthier man?"Harrison's icy gaze felt like an invisible blade, piercing into my flesh. I instinctively took a few steps back, my weak hands bracing against the stone wall behind me to steady myself.When did I become a gold digger in Harrison's eyes?With that thought, I straightened my posture, forcing myself to appear composed. But as I spoke, my voice trembled uncontrollably."Harrison, I know I was wrong six years ago. I came back because there was something important I needed to do. Once I've taken care of it, I'll explain everything to you..."Perhaps triggered by my mention of six years ago, Harrison interrupted me with anger."Something important? Like selling yourself?"Harrison's deep eyes, in the midst of this night's darkness, seemed to be burning with two clusters of dark green flames."No wonder you refused to be Kelowna's mistress. After all, with his
Kayla's POVBased on the business card Harrison provided, I started searching online for information about Charlin Children’s Cross Hospital and the specialist, Joshua Ferrera.It turned out to be a private hospital dedicated to treating pediatric illnesses. The facility was equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment and treatment tools, and almost every doctor there was a top-notch expert in their field. They not only boasted extensive clinical experience but also had their own research teams and laboratories.And this Dr. Joshua Ferrera was a medical doctor specializing in congenital heart diseases, having successfully treated numerous cases like Daisy's.As I perused the information about Joshua Ferrera, seeing his success stories in treating children's heart conditions, my hands trembled with excitement. However, before my joy could fully blossom, the exorbitant fees and the stringent appointment process of the hospital poured a bucket of cold water on the tiny flame of h
Kayla's POVTwo days later, it was my first day at work. I deliberately woke up early, dropped my daughter off at a nearby daycare, and then took a bus to the downtown magazine office.This magazine's headquarters were based in Europe, and this branch in Gorden City was established to tap into the American market.Therefore, the number of employees in the magazine was not substantial. Including me, there were about twenty people in total.At nine in the morning, the editor-in-chief of the magazine, Lilian, appeared punctually. With her striking short red hair, she briskly urged all the staff members to gather in the company's meeting room for the first meeting."After multiple discussions within the board of directors, we've decided to use the name 'Dawn,' leveraging the international influence of Dawn Magazine to boost the recognition of our magazine and quickly become a prominent name in Gorden City," Lilian said, shifting from her brief self-introduction to discussing the new compa
Kayla's POVAs I hadn't prepared spare clothes and didn't want to waste work time, I decided not to change out of my wet shirt.I put on my coat and fastened the buttons tightly to conceal the large coffee stain on my chest. It was uncomfortable, but at least I maintained my composure.In the afternoon, Lilian once again gathered the editors for a discussion on the upcoming theme on the magazine cover."I understand that as a fashion magazine, our themes should revolve around fashion. However, being an international metropolis, there are already numerous fashion magazines in Gorden City. It's challenging to come up with new content. If we start with a mundane topic, our precious debut opportunity will be wasted. That's why this theme—"Lilian paused, pointing at the line of text in the center of PowerPoint, her voice resolute."The Golden Bachelor—""This theme not only appeals to our most important female readers but also generates significant buzz. Now, what I need from all of you i
Kayla's POVOn the first afternoon of my new job, I sat in front of the computer, continuously searching for information about Harrison. I couldn't believe I was using this method to learn about his experiences over the past six years.Just as mentioned in the meeting, Harrison rarely gave interviews.The scattered information related to him circulating on the internet was nothing more than exaggerated bits of gossip.They discussed topics like what high-end fashion he wore at events or his rumored girlfriends.I aimlessly scrolled my mouse until one headline caught all of my attention."Why Has Harrison Not Announced His Luna Since Becoming Alpha? The Shocking Truth Revealed!"Almost involuntarily, I clicked on it."As we all know, Harrison Morris has not only never publicly revealed his mate since coming of age but has also refrained from announcing a Luna during his tenure as Alpha of The Dark Night Pack. This movement breaks away from the long-standing traditions of the werewolf w
Kayla's POVSince that day, I hadn't encountered Harrison again. It seemed like he hadn't visited the mansion either. In any case, I had some quiet days, allowing me to focus all my attention on my work.Today, I arrived at the office on time as usual. Before I could even take a seat, Lilian called me into her office.Lilian was dressed in a silver suit, her red hair was still very eye-catching. At that moment, she stood by the desk, pacing nervously."Kayla, you're here," she said upon seeing me enter her office, leaning her hands on the desk and fixing her gaze on me."You know how crucial the interview is for us. Even though you're a new employee, I'm willing to trust you. Do you understand what I mean?"Lilian stared at me intently."I'll do my best," I swallowed nervously."How's your progress?""I've gathered some information. I drafted two versions of the interview outline yesterday. However, I left the documents on my desk. If you need them, I can bring them in for you now."F
Kayla's POV"Amanda... Are you sure this will really get me into Clouds Nine?"Dressed in a sexy maid outfit, I followed Amanda to the building of Clouds Nine. A sudden gust of cold wind lifted the short skirt I was wearing, revealing more than I intended. Whistles came from a few young men across the street.I quickly pressed my back against the wall, one hand over my chest and the other tugging at the skirt."Of course! My friend told me that all the waitstaff are dressed like this tonight.""But isn't this outfit a bit too odd? And I don't think Harrison likes this kind of style..."I muttered softly, feeling that something was off."Shh!"Amanda pretended not to hear my questions. She impatiently hushed me and then raised her hands, waving at a woman who hurriedly approached."Ruby, this is my colleague, Kayla. Kayla, this is my friend, Ruby. She'll be the one sneaking you into Harrison's private party."I listened to Amanda's words while scrutinizing Ruby's attire — a white shirt
Kayla's POVAfter witnessing Harrison's coldness and authority firsthand, I abandoned the idea of finding Ruby and quietly nestled in a dark corner, wishing I could hold my breath.Though I knew Harrison was now the most fearsome Alpha, seeing him assert his dominance in the crowd was a first for me.He had truly changed. Compared to the young man he was six years ago, he now resembled more of a ruler.After dealing with those two men, Harrison turned and left, and the crowd began to disperse. I was left in the dark corner, patting my chest as if I had just survived a catastrophe.What happened tonight exceeded my imagination.My heartbeat gradually returned to normal, and I began to recall Harrison's warning to the others.A thought crossed my mind.Was he doing this to protect me?Or was it simply because he despised those with dirty intentions?Clearly, my father had once again "sold" me to everyone. Many were now aware of this news. In their eyes, I was a woman who could be insult
