THE ALPHA IN DISGUISE CHAPTER 29
Adrienne found herself caught in a whirlwind of conflicting emotions. She couldn't quite determine how she should feel about the unexpected attention and longing glances she received from Pedro. Was it a cause for happiness, or should she be concerned about the possibility of falling even deeper for the man she cherished the most?She had grown tired of false alarms and the pain of being misunderstood and hurt. Adrienne yearned to release herself from the grip of her emotions, even if it meant making a questionable choice. Despite her enduring love for Pedro, she felt an undeniable need to break free.Letting out a sigh, she closed her desk and prepared to head home. Upon checking her bank account, she was pleasantly surprised to find a significant amount of money saved. It signified that in just one month, she would be bidding farewell to the company she had dedicated so much time and effort to. It was time for Adrienne to redirect her focus towards a new direction in life.Just as s

Adrienne had witnessed Pedro Lassiter's loss of control and temper in the past, but this time it felt different. She could sense his genuine anger, a storm brewing beneath his usually composed demeanor.The manager of the upscale steakhouse, sensing the disturbance caused by Pedro, approached him cautiously but quickly retreated upon meeting his sharp gaze. "Sir, you're disturbing the other guests. Could you please leave?"Pedro's anger flared, and he shot back at the manager with intensity, making it clear who he was. "Do you even know who I am? I am Pedro Lassiter! Clear this place of all the customers, and reserve it for us! I'll cover all the expenses!"Adrienne couldn't help but feel sorry for the manager, who had no choice but to comply with Pedro's demands. The power and influence of the Lassiter family ensured that they always got what they wanted."Sir, there are plenty of other secretaries out there. Besides, I've been working for you for a long time. I thought maybe I could

After Pedro finished dancing with the birthday celebrant, he returned to their table only to find Adrienne absent. Worry instantly flooded his being, urging him into immediate action.Rushing out of the function hall, he sought assistance from a hotel employee. "Have you seen a woman? She was wearing a black dress, had straight hair, and wore a necklace with a blue diamond pendant?""Yes, I did see her! I noticed her in the garden, where she was drinking," the employee responded.Without a second thought, Pedro sprinted towards the garden, his heart pounding in his chest. As he arrived, a sight beyond belief unfolded before his eyes. A man was harassing Adrienne, his actions threatening to cross boundaries.Pedro's protective instincts ignited, and he swiftly intervened, unleashing his fury upon the man, regardless of his own blurred vision. The assailant was no match for Pedro's wrath.He pulled Adrienne away from the scene, leading her toward one of the hotel rooms. Grabbing a towel

After Adrienne and Cathy finished their conversation, Adrienne left the cafeteria and went up to her boss's office. There was a nervous, giddy, and dazed feeling in her heart. She didn't understand why, but after just a few hours of not seeing Pedro, she already missed him."I'm so crazy about him."When Adrienne arrived at her desk, she found flowers, chocolates, and a teddy bear there. There was a note as well, and she couldn't help but smile and feel giddy as she read it."You're giving me an early Christmas gift, Santa Claus. Thank you for the love. After several years, you finally gave me something that I will cherish forever."Adrienne read the note while sitting on her swivel chair and opening her desktop."Give me a smile, so my early arrival is worth it."Adrienne looked at the glass wall of Pedro's office, and coincidentally, her boss was looking at her with a smile. They were like crazy people staring and smiling at each other.Adrienne bit her lip and focused on her work.

Adrienne observed Pedro from the kitchen, witnessing a side of him that was rarely seen – playful, affectionate, and warm-hearted. Even the other guests, including Indi and Miko who worked alongside Adrienne in Pedro's company, were amazed by the transformation. It was hard to believe that the typically stern and intimidating Pedro Lassiter could display such genuine emotions.Cathy, always the joker, couldn't resist teasing Adrienne about the situation. "Hey, girl, I think I need to see an eye specialist. Did I really witness Pedro Lassiter smiling?"Adrienne responded with a sarcastic tone, "What do you think? Do you still believe our boss is emotionless?"Cathy raised her hands in surrender. "Well, maybe just a tiny bit. But in all fairness, who knew Sir could be so fond of children? Maybe you should give him one?" she teased, causing Adrienne's cheeks to flush with embarrassment."You're impossible," Adrienne retorted, trying to brush off the teasing. Deep down, though, she couldn

Sunday arrived, granting Adrienne a much-needed day of rest. She began the morning by attending mass, finding solace and peace in her faith. The rest of the afternoon was dedicated to cleaning and doing laundry, tasks she had learned to handle independently from a young age.Adrienne's independence was a product of a tragic event that occurred when she was only ten years old. Her parents were meant to embark on their honeymoon in Stonewick, but a devastating accident claimed their lives, leaving her orphaned. After living with her aunt for a while, she eventually found herself alone in the Azura.With her chores completed, she decided to take a quick shower before settling into bed. After a half-hour, she emerged from the shower, donning a black silk robe. Just as she was preparing to retire for the night, a knock echoed at her door."Huh? I wasn't expecting any visitors. It's already eight in the evening... Well, sometimes Cathy visits me here," she pondered, approaching the door.To

ADRIENNE was taken aback by Pedro's sudden change of emotions. Confused and hurt, she couldn't fathom why he had acted so aggressively just moments ago. As she glanced at her injured hand, the result of his rough handling, she realized that Pedro's anger had inadvertently caused her harm.But just as swiftly as his temper flared, it dissipated, leaving Pedro with a remorseful and panicked expression. "I am so sorry, sh*t, what have I done?" he exclaimed, regret evident in his voice."S-Sir, I'm fine... It's just a small wound, far from any vital organs," she reassured him, trying to remain composed.Pedro pulled her into a hug, his affectionate gesture momentarily easing the pain in her hand. "Take a leave, we'll go to the hospital. It might get infected, or worse, leave a scar. Damn it! I should stop being reckless," he insisted.With a chuckle, Adrienne replied, "Sir, please don't be too paranoid. We have a company clinic and a company doctor. It's just a small wound. Go on, I'll go

"Oh, sis? Are you leaving?" Cathy asked Adrienne, breaking the silence.Adrienne nodded with a smile. "Yes, I have a business trip to Azura with the boss, so I need to pack, and our flight is later."Indi chimed in, teasingly, "Wow, fancy. So weak."Miko and Cathy agreed, smirking, while Adrienne winced at their playful banter. "True, mare. How does Pedro seduce? Did he caress you? Romance you? Hahaha.""Watch your mouth, Cathy. He just apologized, and that's it. I don't want to escalate the situation," Adrienne replied calmly.Miko shook his head. "You're different, Adrienne. You can handle all of this. I can't even imagine Boss Pedro apologizing."Adrienne smiled, feeling that Pedro had treated her more gently lately. There was a mix of affection and possessiveness in his actions, giving her a glimmer of hope, even though she knew the situation wasn't entirely right.After her workday, Adrienne went home and started packing her things for the business trip. Checking her watch, she r

There have been numerous trials for their love, but rather than breaking them apart, these challenges have made them stronger and more resilient. Despite unexpected events and difficult moments that brought them joy, sorrow, and fear, they always found a light in the darkness. Together, they conquered those dark periods and now embark on a new chapter in their lives.Adrienne felt a familiar embrace as Pedro hugged her again, even though they were running late for the baptism.Once Pedro recovered, his stamina increased to the point that Adrienne couldn't keep up with his desires in bed anymore. They cherished their intimate moments, sometimes extending them into the early morning hours. The billionaire seemed to have unlimited energy when it came to their passionate encounters."You're so insatiable! Look at what you did! We're late for the venue! You're really frustrating," Adrienne said playfully.Pedro chuckled. "It's just practice for when we have a second baby. We'll be ready."

PEDRO fell into a dark place where he couldn't move his body or open his mouth. He was trapped in a place where only his thoughts had free will.He wondered where he was and why he couldn't move. He asked himself in his mind.He thought about the last moments before he ended up like this. He tried to search deep within his memories until he realized that everything was caused by one thing.He shielded the bullet meant for all of them. He used his body as a shield to protect them from the bullets for a while.Pedro only wished for the safety of his wife and child, even if it meant sacrificing himself.He also wondered where he was. Why couldn't he move or speak? Was this the final destination for people like him who had committed many sins?"Is this hell? I know that I have lots of sins in the world. I wouldn't be shocked if this is the gate to hell. If only I could continue my life in the world," Pedro silently prayed.He still had the desire to return to the world. He hoped it wasn't

Because she was distracted by Daniel McBride, Adrienne failed to notice how Charlotte shifted the aim of the trigger. The crazy woman just shot Pedro and Cathy while she was arguing with her father. There was a commotion after the shot, but fortunately, the authorities were already there to arrest Charlotte and her henchmen.Adrienne was already inside the ambulance. She and her child are crying. Pedro has lost a lot of blood, and his life seemed to be hanging by a thread. Adrienne felt an indescribable fear."Pedro, my love! Wake up, fight for us and your child," Adrienne says while holding her spouse's hand.Aunt Selena holds the sleeping child, probably exhausted from crying. Pedro was immediately taken to the hospital. Adrienne could do nothing but wait outside the emergency room.She cried and prayed to God. She hoped that everything was just a bad dream and that she would wake up."My dear, rest for a while. The nurses will take care of you. You have so many wounds and bruises.

"Who are you, you demon? Why are you doing this to us, huh?" Adrienne asked on the other line."Me? You'll know who I am within three hours, well, technically. Won't you show up within three hours? Because if not, I'll start cutting off your child's fingers in advance!" the voice replied to her."No! Don't! We'll show up! We'll come at the agreed time! Just don't harm the child!" Adrienne pleaded anxiously. She was clearly afraid of what the deranged person they were facing might do."Good! It's good to know that you're cooperating. I thought it would be more challenging! Alright then! By the way, I just wanted to let you know that I take my time killing that guy! HAHAHA!" the voice on the other line, sounding like a demon, spoke."You beast! I hope you end up in hell!" Adrienne shouted while crying. Her heart felt heavy, especially after learning what happened to her beloved friend."Thanks for calling me a beast. And about what you said, hell, you say? Do not fret! I've been there,

ADRIENNE felt the enormous grudge coming from Carmela at this point. She and Pedro sat facing the well-known Lassiter couple, not just known in Evermere, but throughout the whole world. Carmela Lassiter, hailing from a wealthy clan known for their jewelry shops, designs, and clothing lines, and Robert Lassiter, a successful businessman, undoubtedly passed on his intelligence to Pedro.Just being in their presence made Adrienne a little nervous, but she was grateful to have Pedro by her side."The week hasn't even ended, and we're meeting again. Have you thought about what I said?" Pedro's mother asked in a sharp tone."Mom!" Pedro responded with irritation, clearly fed up.Adrienne squeezed his hand reassuringly. "It's okay. Simple words won't affect me. I know where I stand and what I'm fighting for."The woman let out a sarcastic laugh at her response. "Really? Maybe you just don't feel the weight of every word I say. Where else would you inherit such audacity if not from your great

Adrienne's mind was filled with questions about the words spoken by the mother of the man she loved. She knew deep down that her mother was a kind and loving person. Even though they didn't spend much time together because they were taken away by God early on, Adrienne knew that her mother was a compassionate and respectful individual. She shouldn't let herself be poisoned by the words that came out of the woman who had caused her so much pain over the years.But some things couldn't be erased from her mind. First was Carmela's face. Adrienne knew that face was filled with resentment as if it had deep-rooted anger."Can't you sleep?" the man suddenly asked her.It was already late at night, but Adrienne's spirit was still alive as if she had drunk too much coffee and been slapped multiple times. The voice of the woman continued to echo in her mind."Yeah, maybe I'm just a little stressed," Adrienne replied. As much as possible, she didn't want Pedro to see her depressed side. She was

Adrienne woke up feeling as if her body was in pain. She had rested more than she expected, unaware that the intensity of her longing for intimacy with Pedro would result in such heavy body pain.She struggled to stand up and found Pedro already up, having cleaned up and dressed. "You're awake," he said as he entered their room, holding their child."Yes, but I can't stand because of what you did," Adrienne said irritably, glaring at him."Why, Mama? Did Daddy hurt you?" their child asked, confused. "Daddy! You are bad!" their child exclaimed."No, baby! Daddy didn't hurt me," Adrienne explained to their child."That's right, my child. I did not hurt your Mama. Mama just can't stand because we made a baby last night," Pedro said, unable to hide his excitement in his voice.Their child seemed delighted with what their daddy said. "Really? Yay! I'll have a baby sister or baby brother!" Kent exclaimed happily.If their child wasn't in the room, Adrienne would have wanted to strangle Pedr

Adrienne woke up early to prepare for their breakfast. She went to the kitchen, but it seemed that Pedro was already there ahead of her. The other helpers were not yet present since it was only a quarter to 5 in the morning.Pedro noticed her busy cooking breakfast. "Oh? Why did you wake up so early? Are you uncomfortable in your room or bed? Just say it, and we can change it," the man said to her.The morning was still chilly, so Adrienne hugged herself. She thought it would be nicer to have someone to embrace."Why am I being so stubborn? Do I need to make things difficult for us like this? Why don't I just give in to my weakness?" Adrienne said to herself."I don't have any problem. I just woke up early to help in the kitchen," Adrienne replied while brewing tea."It's almost done. Do you want to have breakfast now?" Pedro asked her.Only now did Adrienne notice that the man was only wearing a tank top and black boxers. He looked like a model who would walk the runway for famous me

He is thrilled that the woman he loves the most and, of course, his child will finally come back to the Azura.His efforts did not go in vain. After years of pursuing the woman he loves, it has finally borne fruit. He is also aware that he hasn't fully gained Adrienne's trust yet, but he will do everything in his power to make her love him and trust him again.Now, Pedro is accompanied by his foolish friends who are helping him with the surprise and welcome party he has prepared. He spent the past two weeks renovating their old house.He quickly organized everything, and he is certain that all his efforts will be worth it once he fully wins Adrienne over."Looks like after a year, you're finally lucky, you idiot. What bad luck did Miss Secretary encounter that made her come back to you?" Kurt teased Pedro. Pedro's anger flared up, and his nostrils flared in irritation."You
