Chapter 29

Veronica's POV

I was quiet the whole ride back to the hotel. He did not bother saying anything too because he could see that I was not in the mood to talk to him or anyone else.

" I'm sorry about how today went" he said when we got into the room.

I turned to look at him, my eyes heavy with unshed tears.

" It's not your fault. You could not have known that he would be there. And it's fine. It's not like I have to protect my image or something" I said, giving a small chuckle even though I was hurt deep down.

One moment he was standing across the room and the next he was in front of me, hands wrapped around my shoulders.

I wanted to pull away from his hold, mostly because I still smelt like wine, but he held onto me firmly, gently patting my back.

" If you want to cry you can cry, and if you want to just stay in my arms you can." He said.

Perhaps that was all I needed to hear because the next thing I knew, I was brawling my eyes out on his shoulders.

The fact that I was now a

    Chapter 30Veronica's POV His mother looked young. So young that if I did not see her gray hairs I would have suspected that she was perhaps their aunt.She looked at me, an unreadable expression on her face as she watched me pick up the elated boy, his own hands wrapped around me.My embarrassment was now forgotten and instead I chose to transfer all my attention to the little bundle of joy in my arms.I could not believe that I thought of quitting. Everything, all the embarrassment and the awkwardness was suddenly worth it, as long as I got to stay close to him." Mum, once again you have succeeded in over feeding my son and getting him to gan some pounds. At this rate I will stop bringing him to your house. All you do is pump his little belly full with food" alpha Lloyd said.Unlike how he talked to his sister Morgan, he seemed to be particularly fond of the older woman." I saw your video Veronica.

    Chapter 31Veronica's POV I did not know what to say to that. The answer to the question she asked lingered in my brain and a part of me toyed with telling her the truth, that stupid shameless part that wanted to see if she could talk to alpha Lloyd. Get him to love me.But when I sat inside that car, in the silence and awkwardness that followed my stupid decisions, I had vowed to not get myself in the same situation with him any longer.It will be just a plain work relationship from now on.And so with this in mind, I forced my face into a smile and answered." No ma'am. I don't feel that way towards the alpha at all" I said to her.She pursed her lips and raised her eyebrows." He is not behind the curtains my love" she said.I looked at her again, confused." I mean no one is listening in on this conversation" she said again." I know ma'am. I'm just saying that I don't feel that way for him" I said to her.She sighed, getting up." If you say so child. But you remember how to get

    Chapter 32Alpha Lloyd's POV It took everything in me to not think about that kiss. How could she even think I would like someone like her. I loved my women strong. And the only thing she evoked in me was the intense urge to protect her. Azriel was yapping about something that I was paying no heed to and when he finally tapped me, I realized we were already in front of the meeting venue." What has your head wrapped up in such a tight bunch? I have been talking about my pet hamster and all you have been doing is staring out the window. I suspect it has something to do with the girl you have living with you but oh well" he said, a visible smirk on his face.I hated that he knew me so well, that he knew what I was thinking about half the time.I did not bother responding to him, closing the door instead and walking into the restaurant.We were supposed to be having a meeting with a major foreign dealer that wanted to pool all her resources into the automobiles market and even though I

    Chapter 33Veronica's POV My face was all hot and flustered. I could feel my cheeks burning and my heart still thumping loudly on my chest as I made my way out of his room.What was that for? It almost made me believe that he was bipolar in a way.Or perhaps he was toying with my heart. Perhaps he enjoyed watching me look at him with that confused gaze.But not any longer. The next day as I got cade ready for school, he walked in, face hard as a rock, only breaking into a small smile when the boy dashed into his arms." And today is the first day back at school. I hope you remember to promise me to do a great job" he said.He nodded happily, pulling his around back and grabbing his bag as he jolted down the stairs.The both of us stared at each other awkwardly for a brief second and finally, I managed to tear my eyes away from him.I cleared my throat awkwardly." Should I still book the masseuse for you?" I asked him.He seemed flustered by my question, as though that was the last

    Chapter 34Veronica's POV I should have not been so surprised. A part of me wished I did not look so surprised when she had said it. Maybe I should have milked the situation a little bit. Played on her intelligence, made her believe I was in fact the one responsible for what was happening in her company but I hadn't.I had looked so surprised that she paused mid threat, looking at me with surprise too." Are you not the one who ordered that the whole line of designs should be taken down because it was stolen from you? The news is all over the Internet and now all my sponsors are pulling out." She said.I smiled smugly. I had no idea who did this to her, but if I could see them, I would love to give them a big kiss, to show them just how much their little gesture means to me." I'm sorry to disappoint you but your misfortune has nothing to do with me. Perhaps you have more enemies than you think and you are just trying to rub it on me since I'm the only known one.

Why did he seem to have such intense hate for him.I knew there was a part of the puzzle that I was missing but I could not piece it together.When I finally did get some rest, it was short lived, my alarm interrupting what could have been a good night rest.I groaned, getting up from the bed and walking out of the room.He was already awake as always, a cup of coffee in his hands as he looked at me.I could not read the expression in his eyes. Perhaps it was guilt. Or maybe it was plain anger from yesterday. I could not tell.I walked up to him, my own head spinning as I gave him a soft greeting." Cade should already be awake by now" he said to me." I know, I was going to wake him up now. I just wanted to talk to you" I said to him.I could almost see the sigh in his eyes as he looked at me."

How is she? What is wrong?" I asked quickly, trying to calm my breathing as I looked at his spectacular eyes." She is fine and the baby is fine too" he said.Wait ...what?" Baby?" I asked him.He nodded." Yes the woman you brought in is two months pregnant. She is fine but I will have to warn you about stressing her in the future.

He not only tampered with my business but he also claimed a life in the process." Daddy is something wrong?"cade asked when I finally came back in.I walked towards him, pulling him into my arms." I would need you to stay here and look after your nanny for me okay? I have to make a quick trip to the office but I will be back soon to take the both of you home" I said, my eyes settling on her too now.I could see the question in her eyes and a part of me was hoping that she would ask but she didn't.I nodded my head at her before dashing out and entering into my car.I picked up my phone to call azriel and he answered on the first ring." Are you still at the office?" I asked him." Yes but now there is a very huge thing going on now. Alpha callum is having a conference meeting in his company, announcing th

I will try my best to help you. My wife will be back home soon too so we will help you scope out the area and tell you what is up with your family. I hope you do remember who they are..." She said.I nodded slowly, the pain of the remembrance almost greater than the pain I would have faced if I didn't remember them in the first place.Just then, as I opened my mouth to tell her what I thought, the door opened and another woman came in, muscular and tall with a taper fade hair cut that seemed to frame her face dangerously well.She gave me a small look of surprise before finally turning to look at Chloe where she stood."

    Chapter 81Veronica's POV I knew I was dead. Or at least I thought I should be dead. But I could not phantom why it hurt so much.My head, my shoulders, and my lower abdomen.I couldn't open my eyes..or perhaps I could, I was just not willing to try because I did not know what would await me when I did.Willing myself to finally Garner the courage, I pushed my eyelids open, the stinging darkness biting through my lids like a venomous creature, slowly forcing me to close my eyes again and open them.With my eyes now adjusted to the darkness, I could see that some strings of sunlight peeled from beneath the drapes that covered the windows, casting the room in utter darkness.Then, with the little courage that was now slowly starting to blossom in my stomach, I tried to get up, my legs feeling like lead as they finally hit the floor.I had taken just two steps when my feet decided to take a break, giving way almost instantly.I groaned, the shoulders that were already in max pain now ig

Is something wrong?" Callum asked.The both of us had an unspoken rule to not talk to each other again after we thought his betrayal over. And for the first time, he felt incredibly remorseful for his actions.His solemn speeches And suddenly vocal eyes made it hard for me to yell at him just how I wanted to." Eve got to Veronica already" I said, the air suddenly feeling polluted as the words left my lips.He went through the four stages of grief pretty quickly but seemed unable to move towards the last stage."

    Chapter 79Veronica's POV It was one of those days when I could not feel my lower body because of how round my stomach has gotten in a very short span of time.I wobbled towards the kitchen cabinet, placing the vegetables back in the pot and allowing them to steam.It was three weeks. Three weeks of not hearing from any of them. Three weeks of not knowing if they were dead or alive.The urge to burst out of these walls and go back to look for them was one that kept me up most nights, but I still stayed.For the sake of cade and the fact that his mother swore to the goddess that they were fine, just busy.It was almost as though we were under house arrest. I was not allowed to step out of the door, the personal doctor alpha llyod hired being the only one thst could see me.But I still felt angsty. Like something was not right even though I could not place my hands on it.I had barely finished boiling off the vegetables when my phone rang, startling me.I walked towards where I had pla

Three years in jail was enough time for me to think things through, for me to bring my plan together.I knew they would try to pull a stunt eventually, but I was prepared." We already fortified the drug farm just as you said alpha. No one and nothing Is slipping through the borders without the guards having knowledge of it." My second in command and the only reason why all this was going so smoothly, Ben said.I nodded my head, taking another swig of my wine, the taste hitting my buds and drawing a satisfactory sigh from my lips. It was not like the ones I got in the prison. This was more expensive. And definitely tasted like luxury." Alpha I think there is something you should know. The surveillance camera picked up an odd looking van just situated outside the gate, I think someo

I doubted him from the moment I laid my eyes on him but callum was so confident about his expertise My heart still managed to beat rapidly in my chest as I thought about Veronica and cade, wondering if I had made the right choice, if they would have not been safer with me by their side." I heard you are trying to investigate the drug syndicate, eve?"the man asked as he sat down." Yes. My friend here says you know her and can be of help" I said, trying to stifle the voices of doubt in my head." Know her? I have been hunting her. That slippery eel got out of jail by false means and I'm still trying to prove it to the government when I got your call a few days back. Do you know for a fact that she is still running the drugs deal?" He asked.Callum shrugged slightly." Well I won't precisely say we know for a fact. It's more of a hunch that is bound to me right" callum said.His face scrunched up in obvious disgus

The thought of it pissed me off so I tried to not think about it, taking into an unhealthy habit of smoking.Greg did not help much too, mostly bothered about our plan slowing down than anything else." If you know you can't do anything without your little bulk partner then I will just march into his house and kidnap the girl myself" he said.And as much as I tried to deny it, I knew he meant every single word.I took a sip of the bottled wine in my hands, now frustrated, regretting ever joining hands with him in the first place." You have nothing to say?" He asked again, clearly bitter." I don't. We will move when we have to move. But for now, stay still and stop pestering me and making me regret getting you out of jail in the first place" I snapped at him.He opened his mouth to say something but a knock on the door stopped him.He walked over there instead, pulling the door open. I could not see who it was from where I sat, b

Just like that.The moment the car exploded, I had fallen to my knees in shock and surprise, trying to calm my palpitating heart as I made my way to callum's car.Alpha llyod was fuming with anger, muttering incoherent words about how he would make her pay.It was no shock when the police officers pulled up to take out statements and after what felt like a lot of procedures, callum finally drove us home." Do you think we should get them somewhere safe? At least until this all blows over?" Callum suddenly asked, slowly pulling into the driveway." I was just thinking that too. They can stay with my mother. She has more than enough facilities to make sure they are safe. We can call the police again and then go on with our private investigators" alpha llyod responded but I was not going to let them." I'm not going anywhere. Cade can stay with your mum and

Whatever she said she meant it.And somehow, threatening cade was just the beginning.I hopped out of the car, walking towards the hospital, cade tightly secured in my arms.She was seating there, her face ashen white as she stared into the distance.Her eyes lit up as she looked at cade,.opening her arms wide and watching him run into them." Oh I'm so glad you are okay" she said, kissing him on the forehead softly." Are you okay? You look a bit pale" I said to her."
