Silent Rejection 60
Hannah receives messages from him. He asked her to stay home but she planned to go back to the office tomorrow. She cuddled with her cats all afternoon as she rummaged through her fridge. There was a lot of food to cook but then, her telephone rang. She quickly went to the telephone and answered it. “Hello?” “Hannah!” Ines exclaimed. “Come to my penthouse and have dinner with us.”“Sure,” Hannah grinned. “Where’s your penthouse?” “Just go on the corridor by the left. The one with a money tree by the door.” “Okay, got it.” She fed her cats first as she quickly put some bra on and headed to Ines’s penthouse. She was a little anxious to meet their mother by the corridor. But she managed to find the door with a money tree outside. She knocked and just in a few seconds it opened. “Come!” Ines was excited. She looked inside and admired girly furniture. She stopped to see a man by the sofa typing on his laptop. “Oh, by the way. This is Miguel, my mate.” Ines winked. “Oh, Hi.” Hannah w

She couldn't do it as she stared at her phone for a long time. She was waiting for Reid’s message. But then, there’s nothing. Shortly, a message popped up. She blinked and even put her eyeglasses on to read it. RJ: Be back on Monday afternoon. Hope to catch you up. She was relieved as she waited for a minute to reply. Hannah: Stay safe and have safe travels.RJ: Sure. I know you missed me so much. I have to go back to our meeting. See you! Somehow, she was a little relieved but she put her phone away as she fell. She rummaged through the fridge to find a tequila. She will surely get drunk alone tonight. Morning came as pins and needles were on her head. She crawled over her alarm. However, it wasn’t an alarm. “Hannah! I’ve been texting you.” Mars exclaimed. “Come to the address that I gave you? Or I will have Gordon pick you up.” “Nah, I have to get ready. My head is aching.” “Hey, just come here with Ines. Okay?” “Hmm,” It takes time for her to get ready. She wore the most

She suddenly felt sick. Her chest felt so tight. The woman smiled at her. “Hi, you must be Reid’s Secretary.”She cleared her throat and smiled back as she somehow felt dirty. She concealed her pain. Did Reid just play on her? He’s quick at finding another. This girl can’t be Reid’s cousin. “Yes, is Mr. King here?” “Oh, he is. He’s in the shower.” She said as she casually sat down. “I can call him if you like.” “Sorry to interrupt. I just came to check on Mr. King. He had pending documents. Do-Don’t bother. He probably needs rest.” The woman grinned. “Yes, indeed. I’ll tell him that you came.” She shook her head. “It’s alright. I already messaged him.” She waved. Then, she turned back and left the penthouse. She tried to breathe as she smacked her chest. She walked toward the elevator and she nearly stumbled. She reached her unit and her heart started getting tighter. She tripped on her shoes as she removed it and threw it away. Everything she wore was all Reid’s money. She

He reached her face and wiped her tears. His heart broke immediately.“Hannah, your lips are dry.” She pushed his hand away like she felt dirty. He creased his brows. “Come home with me.” But Hannah had made up her mind. She will have all of the pain. She doesn't want to share it. Besides, his mother made it clear. She promised that once he found a suitable one, she’ll leave. “Reid, you are tired. I want to have a sleepover with my best friend.” “No.” He sighed. “Tell me.” She stared into his eyes. It was sincere. But she doesn't want to be a fool. She knew well that she was just a second choice and never the first or even the last. The least hurts her like a smash of a sledgehammer… Just a few weeks ago, they fucked nonstop like they don’t want to let go of each other. She felt sick to her stomach that she was used to it and she let him use her. Is this also the reason why his beast wasn’t even visiting her in her sleep? Did they find another and yet he’s chasing after her bec

Upon reaching back to the residence, he quickly took her to his penthouse and she looked around. She removed her shoes from the foyer as he didn’t. She pulled him and pointed at his shoes. He sighed and removed his shoes as she quickly put them by the shoe shelves. He scooped her up and took her to his study room. He put him in front of a painting of a familiar beach. Then, he opened it and a vault was revealed. Then, he took out a tablet and turned it on. “I will show you that nothing happened between me and her.” he played it from the foyer and handed it to her. She watched as he pushed the woman and told her to stay for a while. It seemed that he went to take a shower but the woman sneaked to his closet and took out a shirt. She even smelled it and undressed to put it on. Then, she went to the living room and spoke to someone over the phone. He stood behind her to watch it as well. “Who was she talking to?” She asked. “I will have to find it out.” Then, he patted her head. “Le

Ines scooped her chin as she read the summary of Miggy’s research. He’s currently out working and won’t be able to be with her 24/7. She already missed him but the word ‘Rut’ on alphas was only triggered by Omegas. It isn’t usually happy. They may be in heat but a rut is impossible unless they are mated to their mate. “Ines!” Hannah exclaimed and rushed inside. “Hey,” Ines waved her hand and realized that Hannah was wearing office clothes. “Oh, it’s morning?” She sighed. She didn’t realize that it was already morning. “Reid doesn't want to leave the bed and he’s been insisting on ~~ sex.” She sighed. “I don’t know what to do. He doesn't look well at all.” She indeed looked worried. “He’s maybe on a rut.” She mumbled as she rummaged through her files. “Why not stay with him and forget about work?” She smiled. “I can’t! There’s a lot to do.” Hannah tilted her head. “What’s a rut?” “It’s what they went through, like being in heat.” She grinned. “My brother needs you. Just stay wit

He frowned even more when Echo came to escort him outside. “You were busy,” Reid grumbled but Echo pulled him and placed an arm over his shoulder while Hannah tagged along. “I wasn’t that busy.” Echo grinned. “Besides, Hannah needs help. You are probably heavy.” He chuckled. “By the way, where did your productive self go?” Hannah turned off the AC in the office as they headed out. Reid can walk but Echo insists on escorting him. Hannah smiled casually and they headed to the car waiting outside. He hopped in as she hopped next to him. Then, Reid placed a hand over her thigh as she looked at Brett. “Brett, let’s go to a drive-thru. I think pizza is great. We’ll use his money.” “Sure,” Brett grinned. They headed directly to his penthouse and he sat on the sofa while she placed the pizza on the table. She set up a foldable table where she could work and he pointed to the space beside him. Instead of sitting, she headed to the fridge for two bottles of water and soft drinks. Then, s

He calmed her finally as they were now sitting facing each other. Ines looked irritated and she didn’t finish her drink. But she chose to finish it all. He doesn't know if they should be together. This woman was surely powerful. Rich. Also, she had two brothers. Miguel wanted to come clean to her. Their attraction and their scents were suffocating each other and if they gave in, they would be uncontrollable. “Out of curiosity. Is there a male omega?” She asked as Miguel was frozen for a while. He cleared his throat.“Yes,” Miguel answered. Omega lived harder and was either an outcast in society or used as a breeder. He wasn’t a shifter. He wasn’t a human. But it was easy to live as a human. Male Omegas receive the same treatment as females. They were also raped not just by women but also men. “Ines, I~~Uhhhh…” “Migs, can you tell me why you research Omegas?” She asked in a very gentle voice. Somehow, he wanted to be truthful to her. He wanted to be honest. “It’s something I nee
