THE ALPHA IN DISGUISE CHAPTER 1
The entire home was illuminated by bright lights, which gave the impression that it was grand from the outside. Observing Natalya Cadwell's home, Adrienne couldn't help but wonder why her boss wanted to trick the woman into believing he was not available for a relationship or even marriage.“It’s fantastic!” She exclaimed and he just nodded his head in agreement.“Her family is wealthy,” he explained.Although the house was built in a modern style, wooden accents could be observed here and there throughout the inside. The tall, half-rounded windows in Natalya's house contributed to the overall design of the house. "She's extremely well-off," she revealed."Her family is wealthier than mine," he said, feeling empathy for the woman, who he assumed had not seen many gorgeous homes in her life.Adrienne pouted her lips and responded, “I see.”“Would you like to live in a house like this?”“Of

Working with Pedro Lassiter had its advantage and disadvantage as well. The man himself was envied by his peers because of his super qualities and extremely good looks, and she was only human! She was not a robot without any feelings at all, although, she mastered hiding her true emotions whenever they were together. However, as they spent a lot of time together, she was bound to develop some unwanted feelings for someone like Pedro Lassiter. Actually, the man was supposedly off-limits because of their differences in the financial aspect, but her heart has a mind on its own."Do you have any free time after work?" Pedro inquired with his secretary after he had signed the contract. Last night's meeting with Natalya has been a success, thanks to his wonderful assistant.Due to the fact that she was recognizing Pedro's outstanding qualities as a guy when she returned to work, Adrienne regretted her decision yesterday. She tried her best to keep her feelings for Pedro Lass

The following day, Pedro was surprised to see his cousin waiting for him at the garage. He narrowed his eyes at Keith and asked him, "Are you on your way somewhere?"“Yes. I need to see Miss Mcbride today but she doesn’t have a phone,” Keith replied.“So what? Are you going to be a nuisance in the office?”“Nope. How about letting me work there temporarily?”“Are you fucking serious, Keith Lassiter?” Pedro asked because the man vowed to step on their grandfather’s building. “Is it because of Adrienne Mcbride? Are you smitten by her beauty?”“Yes,” Keith replied plainly.“Wow, this is great. Everyone has been bothering you about working side by side with me but you wouldn’t budge,” he reminded Keith about their usual banter during family gatherings.“Well, things happened and I have changed my mind,” he declared.&ld

Adrienne cursed like a sailor when she arrived home, and Jasmine immediately joined her in the living room. Before she could rant heavily, she stormed off toward the kitchen, to retrieve the leftover ice cream from yesterday. “I’m pissed!” Adrienne declared as soon as she started eating her ice cream.“Pissed? You said that everything's going to be alright!” Jasmine reminded Adrienne of their conversation before the woman left for Lassiter Shipping to work. “Don’t tell me that you got fired already,” Jasmine said unapologetically. “I’d rather be fired than work with him, Jasmine. He’s the most terrible person I had the misfortune to work with,” Adrienne badmouthed Pedro Lassiter to her friend. “Wait, why are you looking at me like that?”“There’s something more about the story, Adrienne. Is he married? Did his wife get jealous of you?” Jasmine inquired.“He doesn’t have a wife but Pedro Lassiter is the most impossible boss that I’ve worked with,” Adrienne repeated her statement e

The following day, Adrienne wasn’t surprised to see Keith Lassiter waiting for her. Pedro’s cousin has been a nuisance in her workplace. Then, her eyes transferred to the box he was holding. Then, she smiled at him because she had no choice. “I heard you love chicken,” Keith said. “Yeah, that’s right. I love chicken and beer,” she stated. “Shall we get some beers for lunch?” Keith asked. “It’s not allowed to drink during office hours, Keith.” She reminded Keith that the office wasn’t a place for drinking beers. “But we can just have it later,” she added when Keith frowned. “I love it!” Keith exclaimed, and then he ordered Pedro to get ready for lunch. The head office of Lassiter Shipping has a cafeteria on the ground floor and it was exclusive for the staff. “Just bring it to the cafeteria, Keith.” He ordered. “A cafeteria?” Keith asked. “Yes, and all employees eat their lunch at the cafete

Every time she walked into Pedro and Keith, Adrienne could feel the tension between them and she wondered what caused it. While it was true that Keith has been bothering her tremendously, it wouldn’t be enough to cause a rift between the cousins.“Good morning!” she greeted both of them when she entered the office.“You’re late!” Pedro bellowed.“It’s only two minutes, Pedro. Common, don’t be so harsh on him,” Keith defended Adrienne and it made his cousin more furious than ever. She had no idea what was wrong with him but since she joined the company, he has changed. He used to be sweet around her, but lately, she noticed that he was different.“A minute or two always matters for a businessman, Keith. And while we are it, is there any progress in your mission?” Pedro asked.“I still have a lot of time to complete it,” Keith assured Pedro.Pedro smirked at his cousin for being overconfident. “If you say so. Anyway, Adrienne and I will start working now. See you later at home,” he dism

Carmela Lassiter tapped her feet as she studied her reflection in the elevator. She’s maybe in her fifties but she refused to dress according to her age. She could still wear tight jeans or even short shorts and even a miniskirt!However, for today’s activities, she dolled herself with Hugo’s floral dress and paired the look with a black wedge. Then, she smiled sweetly as she exited the elevator and as always, she looked sophisticated and chic in her outfit. As she walked towards her son’s office, excitement rose within her chest. One of her friend’s daughters just returned from Europe and she’s excited to arrange his marriage to Natalya Caldwell.Slowly, she pushed the thick door to open it and she was surprised to see that it was empty! Where’s everyone? If Pedro was engaged with something outside the office, the secretary was supposed to stay to take in important calls on behalf of her son.She walked towards Pedro’s desk and sat on his huge swivel chair. She waited for a few secon

Adrienne didn’t expect to be given the most difficult mission in her life and that was to make Pedro fall for her. When Pedro returned from his date, she couldn’t look at him in the eye. She was also hesitant to take the paper bag with goodies from the nearby coffee shop.“It’s from Keith,” Pedro insisted when Adrienne hesitated in accepting the gift from his cousin.She was more disappointed when it wasn’t Pedro who bought the goodies but his cousin. She checked the goodies inside, and when it contained her favorite croissants, her eyes widened in excitement to pair it with coffee.“Thanks, that’s sweet of him,” she said.Pedro wanted to grab the bag and threw it in the nearest bin but it would make him look like an immature child who was having a tantrum. “Don’t you want to share it with me?” He jested.“Of course, I will! Coffee?” She asked. “By the way, your mother came earlier and she wanted me to relay a message to you.”“Such as?” Pedro was interested in his mother’s latest sty

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
