THE ALPHA IN DISGUISE CHAPTER 52
ADRIENNE knows how hard it is for her to give their love a second chance again. It's not easy for her to take the risk once more. She has loved and been hurt before, and now she's afraid to gamble again.She has experienced love, winning, and losing in this game. She's not sure if it's right for her to enter the world of the Lassiter family again. She is up against her greatest enemy, which is Pedro's own mother, the man she loves, Pedro.Now the day is bright, and Adrienne's business is back to its normal flow. There are no more rainy mornings and nights, so Adrienne's shop is now open. Everything seems to be back to normal except that Adrienne's stress has increased."For heaven's sake, Pedro! How can I enter that shop of yours when you keep on kissing me! You're like a rabbit!" Adrienne scolded the stubborn man.The complainer, Pedro, groaned childishly. "I'll pay you for one day, name your price," the mischievous man said.Adrienne hit Pedro with a pillow. "What's wrong with you,

Adrienne watched as Ethan drove away in his car. Then she went inside. Pedro was waiting for her there. He was wearing a tank top, and boxer shorts, and had a grumpy face."Oh? Why the sour face?" Adrienne asked, amused. Pedro took their child from her."Hug me," the man said with a hint of jealousy in his voice.Adrienne couldn't help but laugh. "Are you planning something?""That hug is out of the plan, but jealousy is an inevitable emotion. At least I can control my temper, right?" the man said. Adrienne kissed Pedro."You know, jealousy is normal in a relationship. But let me tell you something, it should be properly balanced. Because I might think that you don't trust me again, right? Pedro, I gave my love and life to you. If I can give something else, I will... I won't hesitate to say that I love you deeply.""God, what did I do to deserve you?" Pedro muttered gratefully."I also don't know what good karma I had."The next morning, Adrienne woke up to breakfast in bed. She could

Adrienne couldn't help but widen her smile. She saw how Pedro's friends were teasing their child."Hey! Be careful when carrying my child, okay?! Damn it, Gabriel! Don't make Kent into a basketball! I'll dribble you, just watch!" Pedro shouted, causing Adrienne to laugh.Adrienne lightly tapped Pedro. "Relax, don't you trust your friends?"The man sighed. "No."They were already in a hotel because it was too windy outside. They were currently in a function hall that they rented for a drinking session. That's how wealthy these billionaire bachelors were.Kent seemed to be crying, so Adrienne took him from the men. "Let me have my child for a moment. You've been teasing his cheeks too much," Adrienne said.For now, Adrienne and Pedro stayed in the hotel. They would be staying in Azura for one more week before flying back to Evermere.They had thought and planned everything, of course. They planned for Adrienne to hire someone to manage her business here. Cathy would also come with them
THE ALPHA IN DISGUISE CHAPTER 55
ADRIENNE faced her nightmare in front of her. She didn't know, but her feet froze in place on their own. She couldn't imagine her lover's mom coming to greet them with that evil smile."I'm not mistaken. My son has been missing for weeks just to be foolish with you again. This is something I cannot accept!" said the lady, looking at the child in Pedro's arms. "You have a child?" she added in surprise."Mom! Stop bothering us! I don't know where that anger is coming from! I don't care about what people will say, I don't care about our status differences. I love her, she's the mother of my child, and you won't be able to stop us," said Pedro.The anger of Pedro's mother was evident. Adrienne was scared, but she tried to gather herself. She shouldn't be intimidated. She had already experienced that before, and it wouldn't happen again."You don't know what you're saying, Pedro. Leave that woman alone, take your child and send her away. Never, like never, will I accept that woman in our f

Adrienne ran while she was deafened by the pain she was feeling. She chose to run up the stairs and disappear from Pedro's sight. She never imagined this love would be so painful. She thought she had found a decent man for her love story with a happy ending, but she ended up broken and lifeless walking on the street. She wondered how she would put herself back together.She didn't care if she was mistaken for a crazy person crying. She just wanted to shed the pain she was feeling. She couldn't feel hunger anymore; she could hardly feel anything. So she decided to go back to the mansion. She hailed a taxi and luckily had money with her.When she arrived home, she immediately went to her room. Pedro wasn't home yet, so she took this opportunity to call Cathy."Oh, dear? Did something happen? Are you crying?" Cathy asked her, probably hearing her sobbing."Please come pick me up here; later we can talk," Adrienne said in a choked voice on the other line."Alright, I'm on the way..." Adri

Pedro couldn't count how many bottles of alcohol and wine he had already drunk. He never imagined that in his attempt to protect his family, he would destroy it completely.And it was all his mother's fault. It was his fault for being weak and giving in to his mother, Carmela's, desires.He had seen that his mother had taken control of all the stocks of his company. He would lose the company. The bright future that should have been there for his child with Adrienne would disappear.His mother agreed to let him continue his relationship with Adrienne, as long as he married Shane. But his mother was cunning, and now everything was lost to him.He drowned himself in alcohol, consumed by sorrow. He had become a fool; the intelligent Pedro was no more. His mother had once again outsmarted him. The once beautiful mansion he built for Adrienne had turned dark.He fired all the housekeepers and bodyguards the same day Adrienne left the mansion.Pedro admitted his huge mistake. He tried to be

The plane carrying Ethan and Adrienne had finally landed at the airport in America. They joined the flow of people exiting the plane, heading towards the airport exit.This wasn't Adrienne's first time leaving the country. Whenever there was an important business meeting abroad, she used to accompany Pedro.Now, Adrienne felt sad once again. No matter how hard she tried to convince herself, the pain and wounds remained.She had forgiven and given chances multiple times, to the point where she no longer recognized herself. She believed that she needed to prioritize loving herself before anyone else."Our ride is here. Should I drop you off at your aunt's place?" Ethan asked her.They didn't have to wait long before the car arrived. It was already afternoon, and Adrienne and Kent were tired from the journey. Adrienne fell asleep in the car, finding some rest.She felt a tap on her arm. "Adrienne, we've arrived at your aunt's house."Adrienne woke up and thanked Ethan. "Thank you, Ethan.

Adrienne had just finished a business meeting with one of the potential investors in her company. She already had a small company that produced coffee and tea products. She was also venturing into the wine industry since she had background knowledge in winery and chemistry. She was embracing her full potential. Now that she decided to be more independent and promised not to rely on anyone, especially Pedro, she pushed herself even harder. She aspired to be a world-class businesswoman."It is nice doing business with you, Ms. McBride," the man said to her. His name was Calvin, an American bachelor with a handsome and model-like appearance. He was also a well-known businessman whom Adrienne had met through her aunt Selena's husband.Adrienne shook hands with the man. "It is nice to talk with you too, Mr. White. I will take my leave now," Adrienne said."Wait," the man stopped her from leaving. "Can we go out next time?" he asked, scratching his head.In truth, the man was at the same le
