Chapter 60Callum's POVI did not know what it was about her but I knew I liked her. Not enough to foil my plan of ruin my chances of getting back at her but it was enough to try to make sure she was not too hurt in the process.I had donned on black shades and a hat as I sat at that bar,waiting for her to show up.Every minute that ticked made me feel like this was fruitless, this was not going to work out. But with every doubt I held, I renewed my vigour with the anger of what alpha llyod did to me.How he took what was mine away from me." I never thought you would ask to see me" her voice finally came, making me to sit straight and look at her.Of course. There she was.Alpha llyod's little bitch." I heard you are trying to get back at him for picking his maid over you" I said smugly as she sat down." You heard wrong. After you threatened me to stay away from him and not mess up with your plan, I did a quick background search on you and I must say, I'm impressed.A multi billion
Chapter 61Veronica's POV Of all the things that happened in that plane ride and since the time we got to China, this was the worst.Just like my first business trip to France with alpha llyod, I also had to share a room with alpha callum. And even though I wanted to believe that things like this were mere coincidence, I could not bring myself to." What do you mean by there is a mix up in the rooms?" Alpha llyod asked even though his own room was already checked and he held a key in his hands." It's none of your business. You can be on your way and we will settle this between ourselves" alpha callum said, his own voice holding a promise of war should alpha llyod do otherwise.But as always, alpha llyod did not notice this slight change in tone or maybe he was not just bothered and pressed further." It's my business as long as she works for me. I will not let you take advantage of her like that" he said." It was a simple booking mistake." He said, trying to defend himself.Again,
Chapter 62Veronica's POV At first, I wanted to laugh it off, thinking it was some sort of joke. There was no how she was into women when she looked that beautiful.But her face was set in a firm line, whatever trace of joke I thought she would have on her face nowhere to be found." But you are in a date with alpha llyod..." I said, as though to remind her the main reason why she was here.She scratched the back of her neck tiredly." Well I know. The thing is, my parents seem to think being gay is something that can be solved by a man. So they are trying to make us spend more time together.But I don't even see him as a person not to talk more of a potential husband material. I'm telling you this so you can be more comfortable around me and stop thinking he is cheating on you" she said.I sighed." I don't feel that way about him" I said again but she just waved me off." If that is what you want to force yourself to believe then do be it. I just want you to know that I have been a
OneThe house was quiet like a grave, at least at a graveyard you hear the slow swat or breeze or you hear the chirping of birds but in this case the house was just eerily quiet. Trent’s car was in the driveway which means he was at home, probably came by to do something in his study. I headed to my room and dropped my handbag. Just one stare around the house had me thinking. I used to remember when my laughter mixed with that of Trent’s would bounce off the walls. We weren’t able to keep our hands off each other, grinning like fools while we stared at each other in love……or rather while I stared at him in love. I didn’t believe someone who do the things he was doing to me to someone they loved. Our marriage had looked like a match made in heaven.But then he had changed. It all happened exactly Candice came back. Candice was his ex lover and he had opened up to me and told me he had loved Candice very much and insisted that he was over her but I couldn’t help but think of this was
TwoI stared at the papers like they were relics. This couldn’t be happening, this should be a dream. No way my husband just shoved a divorce paper in my face after caught cheating on me with my best friend. Maybe it was a prank, maybe……“What are you waiting for? Sign the damn papers” Trent’s voice jarred me out of my reverie. I came back to reality, realizing this wasn’t a dream but very very real. I stared at the papers and scowled.“I am not signing anything. Cheat on me all you want but I am not leaving you. You’ll come back to your senses and realize how much you miss me.” I said and Trent’s face darkened. He clenched his fist, he turned to Candice.“Honey leave us a while, don’t want to you to see how angry she has made me.” He said and Candice even have the nerve to smile and kiss him before leaving the room. Trent turned back to me angrily.“Are you crazy? Sign the papers and get the hell out of here” he growled and I shook my head.“No” I said. Trent unclenched and clenched
ThreeThe hotel was very from our house, or rather Trent’s and Candice’s house. I had made sure it was so. I had cried for almost an hour immediately I checked in. The realization of what really happened hit me hard and I just didn’t know if I would ever recover. The hotel was nice and distracting enough, large rooms, king sized bed, a pool in the other side of the room to relax in and a large view of the city. Sometimes I would look at the pool longingly wishing it would just drown me. I had to tell myself that it wasn’t worth it. Trent wasn’t worth my life. I had to move on, had to find other sweet aspect of life and make sure that Trent betrayal didn’t mess with my head. I stared at myself in the mirror now as the water ran down my body in the shower. Blonde hair and all. I didn’t look bad. When I came to check into the hotel all eyes had been on me from the moment I checked in to when I walked to my room. Someone had even whistled appreciatively. So why was Trent so hateful, what
FourI wasn’t telling him, or anyone. They didn’t deserve to know, no one cared. Trent would want to keep me under tabs for his child which is the exact same reason I didn’t want him to know. I didn’t want to see him again, ever. He had nearly ruined my mental health and my sanity. I didn’t want another heartbreak. Besides he wasn’t worth it. He didn’t deserve to know.The first thing that had came to my mind when Sparkle dropped the bomb was;Tell him, Trent would be overjoyed. Maybe he would love you back.But the image of his snarling face filled with so much hate had filled my head and I thought bettet of it. He probably would keep me until I give birth, then he would throw me out.Not happening.I stepped out of the hotel and drove to my company. Or rather Trent’s company which he put in my name. At least it was the one thing I loved which he didn’t take away and funny enough it was because I agreed to sign the divorce papers. I pushed open the glass doors and walked it. It was t
Five How could someone look so handsome yet dangerous at the same time? I watched as he headed my direction and sat in the chair in front of him. I flashed him a drunken grin.“Hi” I said and he ignored me. Or rather just stared, like he was seeing someone for the first time.“Hi” I said again and he still kept mute.“Hi Dammit!” I said and slammed my fist on the table. Those green eyes darkened and he shot me a very strong and warning look.‘My wolf whimpered and I leaned back. Something told me that this man could kill me right here in front of these people if he wanted to and nothing would happen.“Fine, I am sorry” I said and he nodded. He watched as I took another drink and his eyes narrowed.My eyes wandered to his lips and I licked mine.“You wanna huh ... .spend the night?” I said and he growled. If I thought Trent’s wolf was scary then I needed a recheck. The sound of that growl made me shift back, my hairs stood on end and my heart pounded. It sounded like a real

Chapter 59Veronica's POV Things got pretty weird after that. From the glares that both alphas exchanged down to the awkward smile that Morgan, alpha llyod's date exchanged with me." Sure. Since we have both our dates here, maybe we can each take a compartment of the jet" alpha callum said.This was some sort of ruse, or a very bad plan of getting me alone so we could have some space.But aloha llyod was quicker." Why would we do that? We all know each other don't we? We can all share the same compartment" he said." This is my private jet and I will not allow myself to be uncomfortable in it." Alpha callum said, his glare stronger now, a heated glare off going on between the both of them" Well don't flatter yourself. I have two private jets and you don't hear me bragging about it like a kid" alpha llyod said." Oh well look who has two private jets and is coming to beg to be on mine?" Alpha callum walked." Please! Both of you! There should not be arguments about this. Since we a
Chapter 58Veronica's POV I had finally come to the conclusion that all alphas loved staying in extremely spacious houses even though they were the only ones living in it.Alpha callum's house was nothing short of impressive. From the blue and white home decor, drown to the velvety royal blue colours of the cushion and tables." Why stay in somewhere so big alone?" I asked as I looked around in awe, my eyes catching sight of a pool just outside the glass windows.He shrugged."I like having the option of sleeping wherever I like" he said.I could imagine just how scary it would be if I tried to consider such a living." Are you hungry? I can make something quickly for the both of us" he suggested.I shook my head." No I'm fine. I had dinner before leaving the house" I said.He nodded, standing awkwardly for a while before finally grabbing the bag and heading up the stairs.." Your room is directly next to mine so if you ever need anything you can always holler out" he said.I nodded
Chapter 57Veronica's POV The excitement in the voice of alpha callum when I finally agreed to go with him was unmatched.I could almost imagine him at the other end of the phone, grinning from ear to ear as though he had just won a lottery.Maybe this was not such a bad idea after all. I did need to do this for my own mental stability. Alpha Lloyd was not the kind of man that would give me the peace I knew I needed." Please let's meet tomorrow at my place. You can sleep over and then we can leave first thing the next morning" he said.It sounded like a solid plan to me. Like someone who was effectively making plans with me." Sure we can do that. I will call you when I'm ready" I said to him, ending the call and turning around to look at the shocked face of alpha llyod." We should get going. Cade must be so bored sitting in the car alone and let's not forget that he will be running late" I said, turning to leave but his voice stopped me.So cold, so angry." What kind of games do
Chapter 56Veronica's POV What followed that date was embarrassment. Intense embarrassment.I had somehow managed to reach my house, my keys jingling in my hands as I let myself in. I should have not gone on the stupid date with him in the first place.He was such a fine man with his whole life put together. Of course women like that would be into him.Who knows if he loved her too? Different thoughts rampaged through my head as I switched on the lights, my back killing me. With each passing day that the baby grew larger in my stomach, I could not wait for the coveted months to come so I could get it out of me. Nearly four months now and my baby bump was still taking its precious time in becoming obvious.Not like I wanted it to be obvious.The apartment was just as I had left it. The lights switched off, coat in the hanger, callum..Wait. Callum?I whipped my head back quickly to face the couch, dread in my eyes as I stared at the nervous man sitting on my couch, just watching me.
Chapter 55Emily's POV We sat there, watching both of them go about dinner like it was the most pleasant thing in the world..I tried hard not to gag at the thought. The thought that he abandoned me for someone as cheap looking as her.Greg did not seem to be very into it like me but he said nothing. I smiled. Knowing that I had him on a leash was the one thing that made this mission easier.I planned to torment llyod until he begs for mercy. And I knew that if I took her out, he would be vulnerable and it would be the best time to strike." I planted the little gift next to his car, what now?" Greg asked, his voice having the same boring coat that it always did." We wait" I said sneakily, my eyes lighting up with mischief.He on the other hand did not seem too thrilled." Can't we just grab the girl now and get this over with? We are not a bunch of horny teenagers trying to prank someone" he said.I suppressed an eye roll as I turned to look at him finally, his brown eyes once agai
Chapter 54Alpha Lloyd's POV I could almost not explain to her just how much it infuriated me to see her with someone else's especially if that someone else was callum.It did not matter how many times I flashed her the warning signal, like a stubborn child, shs always managed to find her way back to him.Maybe she wanted someone to date. Maybe the break up she has with her husband was beginning to take a toll on her. So I could help her. Become her little dating toy while she stayed away from callum.This was all a ruse to help her stay Away from the people to wanted to hurt her. I did not spend hours planning this date just because I liked her. It was to protect her from callum.I kept repeating this to myself even as I waited for her to get done and come down stairs. I had hired a babysitter for the night to stay with Cade and he was more than happy to stay with her while the both of us went on a date.Finally, just when I could feel my palms beginning to sweat with uncertainty, s
