Catherine's POV:

When I saw her, the shock that rippled through me was groundbreaking. The last time we'd met, she had been rude to me and later, I found out who she was to Michael.

"Mum, I want more veggies!" Julia whined as she pushed her plate towards me.

Looking up, I forced a smile that refused to be produced, picking a spoon from the metal dish and scooping a general amount of vegetables onto her plate.

She giggled and pulled it back before she continued to eat. I caught Michael staring at her with a smile and like he knew I was watching him, he raised his head to look at me and I immediately bowed and picked my spoon, playing around with my food.

The kids were the first to finish and that was because they were enthusiastic to eat. I was quite a good cook and even Michael had asked for more.

Once I was done pushing my food around my plate from lack of appetite, I pushed my seat back and stood to my feet.

“Catherine," He stopped me right before I wa

    Michael's POV: I'd never seen her this insecure. The first time we married, all she'd expressed in situations like these were anger and withdrawing into her shell. I hadn't cared enough to know what exactly she felt at that time. But now, I was really invested in how she felt about this. I knew she was bothered and greatly jealous and no matter how she tried to make this about the kids, I knew it was a blatant lie. Brushing her hair back, I watched as her eyes turned liquid. She had beautiful eyes. Intense eyes that pulled me in. I'd really experienced the feeling of staring properly into bed eyes last night while we were having sex and I totally wanted more of that. I really wanted more of that. "Trust me?" I asked, pulling her close enough to my breath to fan her cheeks. She smiled and nodded but that uncertainty still remained in her eyes. I knew it was going to take a lot for her to finally believe my words and all it took was me assuring her by not just wor

    Catherine's POV: He made love to me. Several times than one and after each round, he wrapped me in his arms lovingly. I fell asleep again and when I woke up, he was still holding onto me and sleeping peacefully. A smile creeped into my lips and I remained still, not wanting to wake him up as I needed to enjoy this moment properly. After about five minutes, I decided it was time to return to my room. Because we had sex did not mean that we shared rooms now. Besides, we were divorced and he was entitled to his privacy. Slowly, I slipped out of his arms but it was too late because he pulled me back, pressing his head into my neck. "Where are you going?" He asked in a groggy voice, breathing heavily in the process. "Uhm, back to bed?" "And isn't this bed?" He whispered, his fingers tracing lines down my bare body. His touch was electric and with every moment, it set me on fire. "Uhm, my room. That's what I mean. I am going back to my room." "So you

    Catherine's POV: The door to his study clicked shut and I walked in, stopping when I got to his desk. "Is there something wrong?" "Does it look like there is?" He asked, looking up at me. His expression conveyed slight anger and I could tell that he was mad at me. "Uhm, yes. It does look like there is. You're frowning at me. You only ever do that when you're mad at me." "I have one question for you and I need you to answer with all honesty." My heart picked up. No, I wasn't afraid of anything. I was just worried and nervous about his reaction once again. If this had to do with John then I wasn't sure there was anything I could do to make him believe that all I had told him from the onset was the truth. "Why does she keep talking about John like he had something with you." “John was a better part of her life. She was born and I came back to his home from the hospital. He took her like his own child. It was the same for Jason. He treated them like their

    Alpha Michael's POV: Catherine's words rang in my ears for the whole of today. She was indeed right. There was a lot of work I had to do in regards to making things go back to normal. And that had to be me starting with getting the divorce papers. So as soon as she left, I gave Shaft a call, asking him about the development concerning the lady that was being followed and my employees. "I have a list of their names and I will be sending them to you in less than thirty minutes. I just have to make compilations." “Be quick about it. Time is not on my side." Thirty minutes later, I got a text message. Tapping it open, I saw that it was a text from Shaft. It was a document containing a long list of their names and as I went through the names and the posts they occupied, I began to remember their faces. One after the other. I placed a call to Trenton, asking to appear at the Palace at once and he did, taking a seat before me as we went through the names. "

    Michael's POV: The first person to come in was a woman and she had a smile on her face. If it was to make me go easy on her, then it wasn't going to work. I flipped a page of my journal containing questions over before placing my elbow on the table and staring at her with the hardest look I had on. "Your name is Jadon Sharper?" I asked and she nodded. "When did you get this job?" "In the first week of November last year." "So that's three months ago?" She nodded. "Yes, sir. Three months ago." "Did you come with a copy of your résumé? I asked that everyone come with it." She blinked and her eyes darted around for a few seconds. I could read the fear in her eyes and it was enough to tell me what I wanted to know. But I was going to wait for her to speak and if she chose not to, I was going to make her fucking break. "I wanted to but I realized that my email got deleted. In Fact, I lost a lot of my information during a fire at my house." I stared

    Michael's POV: By the time we were done with the fifth person, I had already gotten my answer. Someone had paid them to work here. Hell, someone had planned all of this and it was one person. I had no idea who but I was out to find that person. "What's your name?" I asked the tenth man to come into the room. I was starting to get tired but I knew I had to finish this up today. "Hendrick Adamson." "You know what I want to ask you, right? I don't think there's any need for me to start the introductions. Who the fuck asked you to work here?" He shook his head. "I... I applied to work here on my own. No one asked me to work here for you." "And how the fuck am I supposed to believe that?!" I snapped, banging my hand on the desk. "How the fuck am I supposed to?!" He blinked. "Sir, I know this might sound like I am lying but I have worked here for over a month and I am here on my internship. I am a student of UCLA." "There's no need to waste time here," I s

    Alpha Michael's POV: By the time we were done with the interview, it was already midnight. Thankfully, about forty percent of them had said the truth either by being threatened or me merely making them know the real truth. Peter had mostly lied to all of them about being a huge part of the company so I understood why most of them worked here in the first place. As for the first woman and the rest who had chosen to lie no matter what, I had them taken to one of my warehouses at a hidden location and thrown in there mostly for their safety. But I was going to make them suffer for lying. "What's our next move?" Trenton asked as we watched a few of my men close the warehouse doors. "From the look of things, Peter is the one masterminding this. He literally lured and threatened them to do this." "I honestly don't know, Trenton. But I know that I will have him killed as soon as I set my eyes on him." I was infuriated. I'd been nursing my anger the whole time and try

    Alpha Michael's POV: In a space of three minutes, I forgot about my problems and listened to Catherine as she talked in an excited tone. "So this morning, I was really bored and the kids were too busy to even pay me heed. One of the maids took them on a tour around the Palace to spend most of their day painting and messing things up. You'll see it when you get to the studio room." I leaned my elbow against the counter, nodding as her eyes lit up with excitement. "So I decided that going out wasn't going to be a bad idea and I remember having a little money. About five hundred dollars or so. Mind you, I wouldn't have spent it if I wasn't here. Things are easier when it's all provided. So I got dressed, borrowed one of your cars," "I don't mind if you do," I replied. Smile in my voice. She raised her brows in disbelief and I shrugged. "I honestly don't mind if you use my car. You can use it whenever you want and I wouldn't complain." Smiling, she nodded. "Thank

    CATHERINE’S POV The incident drew the attention of the people around, but the most difficult thing was that the culprit was not seen, and that made people contemplate what was going on. Seeing John in a pool of blood made me share his pain with him, so the least I could do at that moment was call the ambulance to come over as quickly as possible. I squatted beside him, trying to fish out the mastermind that he was talking about. I wonder why he's so foolish that he will still want me back at this point when he's very sure that I don't think about it. “I have to tell Michael what is going on….” I brought out my cell phone and dialed his number, and luckily he picked up immediately. “Doctor John was shot, but the culprit was not seen,” I announced to him. He scoffed. “It's that just it? Take him to the hospital and come back to the palace. Are you sure you weren't the target?” “That I don't know.'' I gulped. “Looked like he wanted to spill a secret and got shot because he said some

    CATHERINE’S POVSome miles away from the secret building where the hacker was staying, we saw five men all dressed in suits walking into the building. I felt devastated, I wouldn't want them to see us or it might be a bloodbath. “What do we do?” I asked Trenton, but he said nothing, rather he pulled out his cell phone and placed the hacker on a call.My heart was beating faster, he couldn't meet with them or he was a dead meat. But, why would they put a tracker on our car? To kill us on the way when they are sure that we must come after her huh? No way, he mustn't be caught, we must return to the palace alive.“Don't take the front route, and don't even take the back. Go through the basement.” Trenton said to him.I was terrified. “Won't he be caught there? Is there a way out from there?” I asked, quivering.I put him into this matter and he began working for us. If I lose him this way, I will never have peace of mind. That's why he must live no matter what.Trenton handed the car key

Now, we are done with that part, and the moment Alpha thought of heading to go see the Great Alpha, he got a message that Jennifer was waiting for him, dressed like a wanderer.Due to that, he canceled going to see the Alpha and postponed it to the next time. I hated that she was around, but I was curious to know the reason she was waiting for us, and that's why I was never against going back home because of her.The best thing we could do was to call for more vehicles to get the women in, they will have to stay in the palace until everything is resolved, or there's a possibility of Peter taking their lives to not be exposed.Jennifer was standing before us, her top torn into two as she vomited everything she had to say, but what I wasn't expecting was that she would be shot. I wonder if she was the target, why would she be shot the moment she was coming closer to me? She fell into my arms and vomited a mout

    JENNIFER’S POVFor years now, I've always let him have his way with me because it looked like I was in his cage. He used the way he wanted, reminding me all the time that Michael would never love me again since I cheated on him. But one thing no one knows about all this was that he planned it all because I refused to be his date…..so the only way to tarnish my image was drugging and forcing himself on me, then revealing it to Michael.I wanted to tell the truth about all that took place, but he promised to make sure Michael lost his title or his life if I ever exposed the truth. He had to do that since I am in a contract with Michael and that's one reason he can't sack me.Tears dropped from my eyes while he was busy loosening his trousers. Even if it's just this once, I have saved myself from his wrath. There's no way I'll still be his toy when he's out to get rid of his brother despite the agreement.“Just stay still!

    ALPHA MICHAEL’S POVSeeing the way the Minister of Defense gave in to dying without spilling out the producer of the substance he's administering makes me think that they are into an oath. He's the third person that I'm punishing, and they never opened up on who their mastermind is, but I have that feeling that Peter is responsible for all that.The meeting has been dismissed and the next step to take is to rescue the caged women. If I take too long, they will either be killed or taken away ... or maybe end up being sold like they planned.Hours ago, I had a bad feeling about my family, but the guards over there reassured me that they were all okay, and that gave me peace of mind.“Can we just round everything up tomorrow? I miss my kids already when it's not up to three days.” Catherine walked in, already dressed. We are heading out all together, and from there, I will head over to see the Great Alpha to report everything to him. He needs to do something, I'll end up executing them

    PETER’S POV Nothing was going as I planned, I wondered why it's so difficult to get rid of that Omega who thinks she can be an obstruction to me. Before me were my men standing with their heads bowed low, I felt like chopping off their heads over this issue. “Don't expect a dime from me until you get rid of her, you incompetent fools.” I cursed. Why would they assume she's dead when she's not? And now, she's back in the palace, sitting with Michael, and is resisting every accusation. “I just hope she gets no clue to prove her innocence, and Michael will have no option than to execute her—or the whole of you are dead.” I shrieked at them. This was getting on my nerves, the way everything is turning upside down is pissing me off. I planned to get rid of her without John's awareness, he had thought he was that smart ... but he's mistaken because I'll get rid of him as well when I'm done with Catherine and my brother. I got seated with my legs crossed, thinking of what to do next with

    ALPHA MICHAEL’S POVThe moment I stood up from my throne, the image of my kids flashed in my mind. I glanced at Catherine, hoping that they were okay. I've been speaking with the chief guard over there and he has always assured me that everything is okay. My next plan is to be able to connect with the cameras there from my laptop—I'll have to speak to the hacker about that.The minister of Justice came forth since he was the next in command after the chief minister and his deputy, he signaled the guards at the door, and the door was opened. Two hefty men walked in with the corpse lying above them.“Your Majesty, this is the corpse she murdered. Please look into this and let justice take over.” the minister of Justice uttered.I sniffed. What an asshole? “Are you saying that I have never justified a case?”He shook his head. “No, Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand me. This has to do with murder, and so you shouldn't let it slide.” I burst into laughter. “Seriously? I shouldn't l

    ALPHA MICHAEL’S POVI knew they must have planned another evil before telling me that Catherine committed murder. For goodness sake, I wonder if these old geezers will ever come to their senses and quit their stupid acts. They had the guts to tell me that Catherine isn't a Luna yet, bringing in another law that I didn't approve of, making me wonder how badly they want me dethroned.I'll patiently wait for them to scramble whatever it is all in the name of the victim that Catherine murdered, not when I know that an innocent soul will lose his or her life at this spot—but at least, I'll use it against them.I lifted my face, staring at the guard that just announced what I wasn't expecting. “Did you just say the CCTV?”He nodded. “Everything was restored by itself.”I glanced at Catherine whose face was covered with shock. How will this be explained? I can't tell if the hacker did it since I never ordered such a thing, or did Catherine do it? I tapped her, “Did you...?”She shook her hea
