Isabella's PovIt was a jolt to witness his sudden shift in reaction. Initially, he was composed and amiable, but then, without warning, he changed as though the beast in him was awakened.โWhat on earth is happening?โ I pondered, retracing my steps to his room after being sent out like I was a nobody.A nagging thought crossed my mindโcould it be the water I had brought that set him off? Why should I care? This was someone who had treated me poorly, yet here I was, feeling a twinge of sympathy for him in his current turmoil.I gently tapped on the door, eager to avoid provoking him further. โAlexander, may I come in?โ I asked softly.As I turned the knob, I discovered it was unlocked. Peering through the narrow crack, I caught sight of him, seething with anger.โHow dare she dredge up the past? How dare she?โ he bellowed, his fury palpable.It was clear that something deeper was fueling his outburst. I had been yearning to voice a request, something I had mulled over in the garden, a
Daniel's PovSitting in my office, I found myself fixated on the pile of documents sprawled across my desk, but my motivation to tackle them had vanished, my thoughts drifting to personal matters. Everything around me suddenly began to piss me off.A bitter smile crept onto my face as my frustration bubbled over, prompting me to grab the papers and crush them in my grip until they tore into shreds. โDamn it!โ I shouted, slamming my fist against the desk. I couldnโt shake the anger that surged through me after receiving the shocking news.I barked at the man standing before me, โWhen did all this happen?โโUm, itโs been a while now,โ he stammered, clearly uneasy. I could tell there must be more explanations to give.โA while, you say? What exactly transpired? How did it happen?โ I pressed, my voice laced with fury.โFeom the information we gathered, Mr. Robert owes the Alpha a substantial sum of money and hasnโt been able to settle it for quite some time now and, this must have lead t
Isabella's PovUpon arriving home, I was immediately overwhelmed by a mix of sadness and pain. Memories from the past flooded my mind. This is the house where I was born, the place where I grew up and experienced so much joy, but it is also where I faced significant sorrow and sadness.As I stepped out of the car and onto the cracked driveway, my gaze wandered around, and the familiar surroundings brought a warm smile to my face, as if everything was reaching out to greet me with open arms.The familiarity of the place enveloped me, filled with echoes of childhood laughter and summer afternoons spent playing. The memories kept resurfacing.I took a deep breath, inhaling the scent of freshly cut grass and blooming flowers, which transported me back to a simpler time. My mind was flooded with memories: birthday parties, family barbecues, and lazy Sundays spent reading on the porch swing. My heart ached at the thought of the painful memories, but despite the hurt, I knew I had to hold my
Evelyn POVWhile seated in the frigid, dimly lit room, I heard the door creak open, and then a voice slithered in, "You're starting to lose your grip, aren't you? Weakness is creeping in. Just look at yourself, take a good look at yourself, those who once stood by you have pulled their support. Those backing you up internationally, have withdrawn back. Itโs truly a shame, and I canโt help but feel sorry for you. I fear you might have to start all over again, or perhaps even face a situation worse than before. You will begin from scratch!"Her fist clenched tightly, a storm of anger brewing within her. She has been this way for a while now, leaving me speechless. Her nags and complaints drive me nuts and get me to a point where my focus could no longer be met. I knew the challenge ahead was formidable, I am aware of my current situation which got me determined to find a way out, no matter the cost.โCanโt you see? Youโve already lost!โ she shouted, her voice echoing into my ears, drown
Isabella's PovI gazed at the elderly man in front of me. His hands shook, clearly shaken by something intense. โYou should be glad to see me,โ I murmured, trying to suppress my smile. I had missed him deeply, but I couldn't reveal the extent of my feelings; he needed to realize how much he had hurt me.As I looked at him, my heart sank at the sight of his pale, dry skin. โWhat happened to you?โ I thought, tears threatening to spill, but I refused to let them fall.He raised his trembling hands to his chest, and I could see him trying to call my name. I noticed he seemed to struggle to speak. โDonโt say anything if itโs too hard,โ I communicated through our eye contact. In my mind, I had already embraced him and even kissed him, but I couldn't bring myself to do it in reality.I could see the guilt in his eyes; I had long since learned to read emotions through them. Just as I noticed he was having trouble breathing and speaking, he collapsed to the ground.โDad!โ I shouted, rushing t
Daniels PovAt some point, peace found its way back into my being. I leaned back, a smile spreading across my face as I surveyed the documents laid out before me. The wave of contentment washed over me, unstoppable and overwhelming.I examined the papers, delight bubbling within me, even though I had previously torn some to shreds in a fit of frustration.โDanielโฆ!โ I scolded myself. This is how I react when anger takes hold, so I quickly dialed my secretary. โPlease, get me copies of those documents in the stakeholders' names immediately. I need to review them while I have the chance.โAs I waited patiently, a flurry of thoughts swirled in my mind. โIt truly is a small world,โ I mused with a deep sigh.Who would have imagined that upon my return to the country, I would run into Emilia Robert?I chuckled in disbelief; the mere idea of crossing paths with Emilia felt like a twist of fate, a nod from the moon goddess herself. It seemed she was smiling upon me this time. Just thinkโhow w
Alexanderโs PovWhile at the hospital, I settled into the VIP ward to get some rest. My time in Isabella's room was quite absorbing. I had to allow the doctor to do his job while also needing some quiet moments to reflect, even as my heart raced.Thoughts about everything I had witnessed kept swirling in my mind, and I couldn't tell if things were spiraling out of control or not.At that moment, the doctor arrived with some reports. โMr. Robert needs a heart transplant,โ he informed me.โA heart transplant?โ I echoed. I was taken aback by the news, but it didnโt really concern me. It sounded nothing short of dreadful. Why was this even my issue?โIs he really deserving of a heart transplant? I doubt it!โ I thought to myself. I couldnโt shake off memories of his past misdeeds. Given how he had treated Isabella, he certainly didnโt deserve it.โInform the family,โ I instructed, leaning back on the couch.โExcuse me?โโYou heard me correctly. Tell them about his condition and that he nee
Evelyn's PovAs I prepared to head to the airport, I made sure my belongings were neatly packed and everything was in order. I didnโt forget to present myself well, looking sharp and smelling delightful. If there was one thing I was certain I wouldnโt part with, it was my stunning outfits and exquisite perfumes. Thankfully, he hadnโt taken those with him.โAre you coming along?โ I asked, striding toward the car that would take me to the airport.โAbsolutely, Iโll see you off,โ she replied.โThatโs not what I meant. Iโm asking if youโre coming with me to meet Alexander.โโEvelyn, I canโt do that. You want to have a moment with Alexander, and my presence isnโt necessary. Besides, youโve already compensated me for my last job. Iโd only be in your way. Let me handle things here while you pursue your goals,โ she responded.Her answer caught me off guard. โYouโre coming with me,โ I insisted. I was so accustomed to her company that the thought of her staying behind felt dull.โIโm really sor
Alexander's PovI glided into the dimly lit room, my presence commanding attention as I issued my decree."Take off the blindfold!"The moment the fabric was lifted, their expressions morphed into sheer disbelief. It was clear they hadnโt anticipated being caught. Their bodies shook, and their voices faltered, leaving them utterly astonished.I let out a hearty laugh, "Surprised to see me? Oh, Victoria... Evelyn, you two...!"The sight of their trembling forms only fueled my amusement. They were truly at a loss for words."I... we... how did we... I can't comprehend how I ended up here," Evelyn stammered, confusion etched across her face."Exactly, what on earth happened? How did we find ourselves in place?" Veronica chimed in, her eyes wide with fear. I couldn't suppress my laughter; their bewilderment was simply too delightful."Are you genuinely curious about how you arrived here? You want the truth, donโt you?" I asked, directing my gaze at Evelyn."You see, all this time, you bot
Evelyn's PovI refused to be on the losing end and have made all the necessary preparations. I meant every word when I said I would win Alexander back.I let out a bitter laugh, mocking Alexander's actions; if only he knew what I was capable of. I couldn't believe he would humiliate me to the point of throwing me out of his mansion. Incredible!It never crossed my mind that he was aware of everything happening and might even be involved."Is everything ready?" I asked as I called my hired assassins. I had positioned them as a backup plan, a Plan B, in case my attempts to approach Alexander proved fruitless.I became increasingly frustrated when I discovered that Isabella was staying indoors and not stepping outside the mansion. How could I execute my next plan with her behaving like this?Staying in the old mansion was wearing me down. Alexander's mother wasn't helping either; she seemed completely unhelpful at this point. From her words and reactions, it was clear she didn't want to
Isabella's PovIt's been two months since I last went outside, and while it's been dull, I haven't felt lonely with my maids around to keep me company. As I sat in front of the mirror, I told myself, โYou donโt have to be sad forever.โ I smiled at my reflection, appreciating how pretty I still looked despite my current situation. โLook at youโฆโ I said, placing my hand on my belly as I stood up to take a good look at myself.A smile spread across my face as I gently rubbed my belly, feeling my baby bump. I let out a deep sigh of relief; it has been challenging to keep my pregnancy a secret.Just then, Katie walked in and asked, โThinking about something?โโNot really, Iโm just amazed at how quickly time flies, Katie.โWe all burst into laughter. Thanks to Leah, Katie, and Maya, who have been so supportive, Iโve managed to handle everything without worry. Theyโve helped me keep my pregnancy hidden, and now Iโm uncertain about what my next steps should be.It feels like a relief to know
Alexander's PovI have firmly taken my position regarding Daniel. I was unaware of his past relationship with Isabella, and frankly, it doesn't concern meโit's all in the past. What matters to me is the future, and right now, I know that Isabella is mine and mine alone.Since I have already claimed Isabella, I don't care what plans Daniel might have.I tried to gauge Daniel's level of determination and concluded that there's no way he can win Isabella back or take her from me. If she were to run away with him, I would definitely find her, hurt her, and make sure she couldn't leave me again. She would have no choice but to stay with me forever.While I was lost in these thoughts, I struggled to manage my emotions. My argument with Daniel had left him furious, and I needed to calm myself down. So, I headed back into the hospital towards Isabella's room.I had instructed my men to keep quiet about the incident to ensure that Isabella wouldn't hear anything about it. Everything that happe
Evelyn's PovA smile spread across my face as I arranged for my luggage to be taken in.I sat beside Alexander's mother and offered her a massage. I kept smiling, but my mind was racing with thoughts. I didn't want to end up on the losing side after everything that had happened.Since I had already claimed my place in Alexander's heart, I was finally back to reclaim it.From her expression, it seemed she was enjoying the massage, so I decided to take a risk. "Mom, I'm sorry for leaving without saying anything.""It's been five years, Evelynโfive long years. From what I've heard, your breakup with Alexander was quite severe. You nearly destroyed my son. He became a shadow of his former self and refused to explain what really happened. Can you tell me what went on?" she asked.Hearing this filled me with joy. Despite the pain I had caused him, he never spoke ill of me to his mother. It seemed Margret still viewed me as she did in the past.I started to think of how to explain things to
Isabella's PovI woke up in an unfamiliar place, trying to make sense of the blurry images around me. I pressed my hand to my forehead as a heavy sigh escaped my lips. My head throbbed painfully, like I had been in a wrestling match.I shut my eyes, attempting to grasp my surroundings while also trying to soothe my aching head. "Whatโs going on? Where am I?" I asked, unable to remember how I ended up in such a strange location.Suddenly, a sharp realization hit me: I was in the hospital. I lifted my head slightly in search of some comfort, but my heart raced with anxiety. I remembered the events that had unfolded earlier. "Father! Alexander!" I shouted, recalling that I had brought my father here. But why was I the one lying in the hospital bed?My worries intensified; something must have gone wrong. But where was everyone?I wore a confused expression, grappling with the questions swirling in my mind. I felt an odd sensation within me, as if it was linked to my inner wolf."Why do
