Alexander.Hearing her address my royal abode as her home, it mad me feel pleased. But I had no way of showing it. There was something very different about her. Then she was nothing but a tamed cat but what I see now is a tigeress. I was so eager to know what had changed. What triggered this change? There had to be a story behind it and I would find it.“It seems you were so hungry to the point death.” I sneered. Earlier she acted so tough about the whole thing, looking at the empty plate it was obvious that she had been famished.She raised her eyelids looking at me, “And who is ro blame for that? That's because being the Alpha king doesn't change a thing. You might be wealthy but it happens that I starve right under your nose.” She smirked.Was she trying to provoke me? If that was her aim then it seems she has achieved it. How dare she taunt me? I was her King, her Alpha king. She has no right what so ever to talk to me carelessly. She had to be courting death. I moved closer to
Isabella's PovUpon my return from the hospital, I made a beeline for my room, eager to collapse onto the bed and surrender to its comforting embrace. The day had been an arduous journey, leaving me drained and in dire need of respite.A sense of unease lingered in the air, casting a shadow over my surroundings. I struggled to discern where my focus should lie amidst the chaos that enveloped me."Mistress..." The maids' urgent voices pierced through the haze, propelling them towards me with haste. Their eyes widened in alarm, mistaking my rapid breaths and prone position for a collapse of consciousness.The room dimmed before my weary eyes, as faint sounds reverberated in my ears. Fatigue began to claim me, beckoning me towards the realm of slumber. The day had taken its toll."Mistress," they called out once more, their hands reaching out to mine as they drew nearer."I am fine, just tired," I reassured them, watching as relief washed over their faces, their burden lightened. They gu
Alexander's PovI awoke with a fiery determination to tackle my official duties. It's been quite some time since I gave work the utmost focus. Wasting no time, I freshened up and made my way to the office. At my entrance into the office, I sighted the bunch of documents awaiting my attention.I sat back, going through each of them with full focus. Suddenly, my personal assistant entered the room, approaching me with a sense of urgency."Alpha king, the luna's father is here to see you," he informed me.I paid him no attention, my focus locked on the files in my hands."Boss, the luna's father is here," he repeated while I shot him an angry glare. I hadn't expected a visit from Isabella's father, especially not at such an inconvenient time. Why did he have to come and disrupt my day so soon?“I wasn't deaf when you said that earlier, why did he come?”“I have no idea, it should be family matters boss, I have no right to meddle”It seemed he had a point. Robert will certainly say nothin
Emilia.I sat comfortably watching the news, I furrowed my brows in a frown. The news was on about my father's company, taking the remote control I switched the channel I to something more fun. I was already so bored of old news. They wouldn't see what's coming. My mom walked in with a cheerful laughter, she had this beautiful glow on her face. I was curious to know what it is about. Seeing me, she applauded. “You seem so happy, what's the gist?” I smiled.“Darling, something great happened today. When my friends found out you were in town, you needed to have seen their faces. They looked like someone who had eaten poop. Just as you had advised I have some perfumes as a gift, you needed to have seen their reactions. They were so jealous. Anyways, my main aim has been achieved, so why won't I be happy? I feel like celebrating. What would I ever do without you?I chuckled, “I'm happy they liked the gift.”She let out a scornful laughter, “Did you say like? No! No! No! They loved it.”
Emilia's PovBased on the information I received, it was evident that Isabella, my step sister, was being treated poorly, almost like a slave. I thought it would be wise to discuss this with our mother and hear her perspective on the matter. However, I didn't expect her to be surprised by the information, as she must have already known or suspected something was about it. If anyone is aware of everything that is happening, it would be my mother. But it seems she couldn't really connect to the spy she once had there. As I observed my mother getting a pedicure and manicure, I noticed how focused she was on her own self-care, rather than being the talkative and engaged mother she used to be. I found it amusing and watched her with a smile."Mother," I called out, seeing her respond lovingly to my call."Well, I believe Isabella is being treated like a slave, I mean..."Before I could finish my sentence, my mother burst into laughter. It seemed like she already knew what I was going to sa
Emilia's PovQuietly, I navigate my way to the company, eager to discover what might be happening inside."There she is, the boss's daughter," a guard announces, bowing before me. I scoff at the unnecessary show of respect, accustomed to the privileges that come with being the CEO's daughter.Although I am puzzled by the strange atmosphere, I hide my confusion, knowing it could harm my reputation."Where is my father?" I ask, met with silence from the surrounding crowd.Determined, I quickly entered the building, heading straight for the elevator. With a sense of urgency, I ascend to the top floor, intent on reaching my father's office where I hope to find the answers I seek. He is the only one who can provide them. However, upon arrival, the room is empty, devoid of any trace of him. A dishevelled state hangs in the air, creating an unsettling feeling.What is going on? A sense of foreboding grips me, suggesting that all is not well within the company's walls. It seems as though the
Isabella's Pov It's been two days since my return from the hospital yet I haven't set my eyes on the alpha king. Not even a smell of his fragrance around the place. I had this feeling that there must be a reason behind this which is so unlikely of him. Just while I had these thoughts running through, a maid came in offering a dish for breakfast.“I am not hungry, you can leave now” I ordered . Trying to keep my composure, I placed my hand on my belly, hearing it make fuzzy sounds. It was about to disgrace me right before her.“what’s it with the attitude? Are you sure you don't want to eat? “ I wondered, my eyes fixated on the dish she had brought.“No no no, I'm not hungry” I concluded within, looking away from the dishes she brought.“But ma'am, you will have to eat. This dish is specially made for you” she persisted.I forced a smile through, “Really…? If that's the case, fine, you can leave it on the desk. I will have breakfast as soon as I shower” I dismissed her immediately,
Isabella.I couldn't believe my ears, I stared at Maya hoping she had made a mistake. “I'm sure you got it all wrong.” I stared at her, waiting for her to speak up. She shook her head in the opposite direction, “No my Queen, your sister is Indeed here to see you.”Emilia was here to see me? How thoughtful of her. The better way to say this was that she was here to make a mockery of me. She was here to witness things with her eyes. I am sure she had something off her sleeves. Is anyone at home besides me? I couldn't help but ask. “No my Queen, the Queen mother and the king's mistress went out for a hunt.” I heaved a sigh of relief, now this sounded so good. “Have Leah come upstairs and dress me up. I'm in a good mood.” I commanded.“Yes my Queen,” With a smile, Maya exited my room. In less than a minute, Leah made her way into my room. She had this mischievous smile on her face. “What are you smiling for? Why are you so happy?”She chuckled, “It's been a while I had actually seen yo
