THE ALPHA IN DISGUISE CHAPTER 44
Adrienne found herself in a restaurant. It seemed like an expensive place. She felt nervous and tense because the two women who were causing her agony were right in front of her.Carmela smiled gracefully but viciously. "I reserved this five-star restaurant for the day. I didn't want others to see us tormenting you. It's nice that you actually accepted our invitation today. Order as much as you want; maybe it's the first time you'll eat in a place like this, right? I wouldn't be surprised since you're just a peasant," she said with a tone full of insults.Adrienne felt hurt, and she wanted to fight back, but what would be the point? She was already defeated, and it felt like they were just reminding her that she was a loser and would go home in tears.Adrienne noticed the devilish smirk on the faces of the two beautiful women in front of her. Their behavior didn't match their appearance at all."Just leave her alone, Aunt," Logan’s sister said with a grin. She was the perfect descript

Adrienne's heart was overwhelmed by the brevity of one week to fully love Pedro. Seven days were simply too short to create the memories she longed to carry with her when she eventually left.Her emotions weighed heavily on her, causing great pain due to the extreme loneliness she felt. It was already Sunday morning, but Adrienne still couldn't sleep throughout the night, her mind preoccupied with thoughts of her imminent departure.Later that evening, she would see Pedro again. Yesterday, they spent the whole day together, cherishing every moment. Pedro, however, had no inkling of her plans to leave. Adrienne couldn't bring herself to say it, but she knew it was his right to know, and she planned to tell him that very evening.Unable to sleep, Adrienne got up and opened her closet, taking out her luggage. As she began packing her clothes, she felt like there were no tears left to cry.Suddenly, there was a knock on her condo unit door, and she opened it to find Cathy, Indi, Miko, and

That news was a life-changing turn of events for Adrienne. It never crossed her mind that she would still have a souvenir from Pedro. Besides the memories she would carry with her, there was another gift left for her.She was in the condo to rest. It was exhausting for her to think and worry. It's not that she didn't want the pregnancy; in fact, she was even happier. The painful part was that the baby's father was absent. She would be a mother without a partner, and above all, the other Lassiters should not find out.But Adrienne just laughed at that thought. She wanted it to be impossible for anyone to find her, especially since Pedro and his family were furious with her. She thought that Pedro chose to believe the accusations against her. She also thought that Pedro chose his life in Evermere and as a CEO. Maybe she just wanted the man's happiness, even if she was no longer part of his life.She sighed again and took a notebook to start thinking about the steps she would take for he

They started their journey to the location of her café. It was just a short walk near Ethan's hotel and beach resort. Once they parked, they got out of the car and were greeted by a lively scene. Many people, including tourists, had gathered for the café's opening, lured by the freebies and discounts on offer.The mayor, who was scheduled to perform the ribbon-cutting, was also present, and tourists eagerly enjoyed the free drinks and finger food being handed out.Before the ribbon-cutting, Adrienne took the lead in giving a speech to kickstart the activities and the grand opening."I would like to say thank you for coming and witnessing this splendid opening of my shop. I want to express my deepest gratitude to my cousin, Claude Miranda, and my dearest friend and the owner of Hotel de Mercedes, Ethan. They are the reason why I am motivated to open this business. Please enjoy yourself at the café."The celebration went smoothly, with the store's delectable contents quickly disappearin
THE ALPHA IN DISGUISE CHAPTER 48
Adrienne can't deny the unease she feels whenever she's with Ethan. It all started with his simple confession of love, a confession that surprises her because she was no longer single, technically. Avoiding Ethan has become challenging since they've grown closer; he feels like a sibling to her now. Despite this, she has been keeping her distance for a week, trying not to let her feelings complicate things.Everything Adrienne does seems to involve Ethan, and that's exactly what she's trying to avoid. She doesn't want to fall for him on the rebound or use him as a temporary distraction. Having experienced hope followed by disappointment before, she doesn't want to give him false hope either. She knows how it feels to be let down after putting her trust in someone, like what happened with Pedro, who didn't fight for her or listen to her in the end.Adrienne is currently in her office, diligently working on budget lists and checking her stocks while her son, Kent, sleeps peacefully in hi
THE ALPHA IN DISGUISE CHAPTER 49
Two years ago, Adrienne poured her heart and soul into loving Pedro Lassiter, only to find herself lost in the process. Sacrificing everything for a man who saw her merely as a tool left her with bitter memories. Despite the hurtful encounters with her boss, she couldn't escape the foolishness that seemed to linger in her heart.But as the sun rose, Adrienne knew she had to shake off her bitter thoughts and focus on her responsibilities. She got up from the bed and walked over to the crib where her child, Kent, lay. Tomorrow, he would turn one year old, a living reminder of her unrequited love for Pedro Lassiter.The name Pedro Lassiter left a bittersweet taste on her tongue – her ex-boss and the cause of her heartache. Facing reality had been brutal from the beginning, especially falling for a Lassiter, a man seemingly out of reach for a mere secretary like her.As Adrienne cradled her child, she couldn't help but notice the striking resemblance Kent had to his father, Pedro. A fear
THE ALPHA IN DISGUISE CHAPTER 50
Adrienne found it difficult to weigh her feelings. Was it really right to love with her heart when her mind said otherwise? She was scared that one day she would have to choose between Ethan and Pedro and break the other's heart.The day ended with neither Ethan nor Pedro around Adrienne. She went home with Claude driving her car, while Kent was already asleep in the backseat, securely fastened in his safety seat.Adrienne's face contorted in deep thought, remembering the chaos caused by the two men in her office earlier. She had never thought or wished to be fought over by two handsome, charming, and perfect men. Adrienne considered herself just an average woman, and if she hadn't been made over by Cathy, she would probably still look plain.But now, she was being fought over, and it didn't feel good for her. Sometimes, even though it's bad, she thought it would have been better if she had only one heart.She still loved Pedro, while there was a space in her heart for Ethan. Everythi

She's just falling even more for the man.The man who was embracing her woke up. So, her smiling lips quickly turned into a frown. Adrienne has become better at acting."Let go of me, Pedro. You've made it a habit to sleep beside me every morning, huh? What are you? Superstitious?" Adrienne scolded the man who just laughed and tightened his embrace."Well, I am lucky to have you. I just want t
