Hermes sat down on the couch. Using his hand to support his chin, he looked helpless as ever.

He couldn't stop thinking about his last discussion with Victoria.

"Don't forget that I have the skeleton you hid in your cupboard for so long." Victoria said.

"What do you have against me?" He had asked, preparing to raise the corners of his lips in a smug smile when he heard something he thought was out of the world.

Victoria gave up a low chuckle. "You aren't a saint too, are you? Not only have you been dreaming of taking Melissa away from her mate, but you also slept with her, why don't you wait up and see." Victoria subconsciously raised her index finger, indicating that he should give her a minute.

She dipped her hand into her bag and brought out an iPad.

She played the audio file and he frowned as a recognizable voice rang out. It was so short.

"Hermes, who do you like?" A female voice asked.

"I don't just like Melissa Kim, I love her and she'll forever be the woman I love," Hermes pro

    CHAPTER 26Melissa baked a lot in her bakery shop. Ranging from doughnuts to cakes of different sizes. She usually baked herself because she thought that she was the only one that would bake her stuff to its great taste."Ms. Someone is here to see you.""Did they say the name?""He said his name was Hermes and he said he wanted to see you urgently." One of the workers announced although she felt the name rolling off her tongue was rather strange."Give me a minute, I'll get my hands washed and you over there, come continue the kneading." Melissa instructed, washed her hands, and rushed out.She stopped right on her face, a smile on her face, she was now proud of what he had become.He was now an artist and he had his art gallery. Because he spent half of his life trying to be a Beta to Alex, he didn't really develop more on his artistry but now he was a pro at it.This was part of the things he let her know about him the last time they met."Hello." She waved at him and tried to hug

    Taking in a deep breath, Melissa practiced her deep frying style for the last time. Kristen had found a cooking competition for her, the one far better than the one she'd participated in.Fuck the asshole, Alex, he was not the goddess that could decide her fate.She was happy about the fact that not only was the event taking place far away from Alex but she was going to spend a week there as well.She was doing her last rehearsal in New York today and her day couldn't be happier."Hey, how are you feeling?" Kristen came up behind her and handed her a cup of hot coffee. Melissa was down with a cold last night.Kristen was tired of what was happening with Melissa. If he didn't know what the interest of those that were monitoring Melissa was, then why not disrupt their plans? He figured out that making Melissa get out of New York would reduce her risks of being harmed, so why not do that?"I'm fine now. I guess you had a nice rest."Melissa said and smiled. Kristen couldn't withdraw hi

    It felt new to Melissa that she was going to leave the city, not because she hadn't left before but because she was going to miss the one person that she had lived with for the past three years - Kristen.Remembering how he had helped in raising Mia, she smiled. She didn't know what she would have done without his help. Sometimes, she wondered what gift she could give him to show enough appreciation but Kristen had just about anything in this world.Kristen would have been there with her and Mia till they got aboard the plane but he had left with the excuse that he had some people he urgently needed to attend to since he had kept them waiting.Drawing her luggage along with her, she beckoned Mia to follow suit.She turned her wrist and stared at her wristwatch for a second.The checking of her documents was taking more time than she had envisaged, she frowned slightly as she wondered what could be the problem.She walked into the terminal and quickly went to the check-in desk."Hello,

    Killian held tightly to pen as he rushed out of the company. It was funny how that was the only thing that he held onto the moment he ran out of the company."Holy shit." He muttered to himself.Alex was in one of his moods again and he had to rush out to get what he had ordered for a bar of chocolate, normally made by the brand Mel.Sometimes he wondered why Alex would always ask for that when he was vexed.It all started on a sunny day when he had come back to the office only to meet Alex, fiery red-eyed, and refusing to talk to anyone."Sir, can I help with anything."Alex had not said a word, meaning that he was past vexed.Then after a short while he talked through gritted teeth."Just get the fuck out and that's the best you could do." Killian was still a new Beta then and he hadn't gotten acquainted with Alpha Alex, so he didn't know what to expect.He had heard of Alpha's that were violent….Killian flinched as he heard the sound of something like glass, clashing above his he

    CHAPTER 31Alex laughed evilly as he approached an unaware Hermes.It had been a long time since they both met and it was funny how Alex was the one visiting his ex-Beta."What in heaven's name are you doing…." "Punch." The rest of the words in Hermes' mouth were swallowed back by a punch. Then another, and another punch.Alex flexed his muscles as he kept on sending blows to his eyes, nose, and lips. He didn't get up until he was sure that each bone on his body was broken."You brute, selfish bastard. I can't believe you're like this after I gave you a life then."Alex kicked him in the ribs once more."What are you doing here, huh? What you did three years ago, was it not enough for you?" Alex quickly asked.Alex managed to contain his anger, all he wanted to do was wait for a minute to hear from Hermes. With the way his blood boiled, all he wanted to do was kill Hermes but first, he wanted to hear what his response was.To Alexander's utmost surprise, Hermes got up slowly, and as

    It was so such a pity that Kristen fell in love with Melissa and how he grew fond of Mia without even knowing it.He sipped on his coffee and replaced the cup on the table only to look towards the door to see little Mia running in.He smiled, he was such a strict person in the past, no maids or whosoever entered his study unless they were there to dust and clean but that rule changed the moment Melissa came into his life.He just seemed to be free with and around her like he was with no one else."Mia, come here." Kristen had already stood up by the time Mia reached where he was and he scooped her off the floor and into his arms.He was about to go seat back in his chair and continue what he was doing while carrying Mia in his arms when Melissa followed, the door creaking as she closed it behind her.He held a stare with her, searching her countenance. Since he couldn't guess exactly what was on her mind, he decided to ask."What could it be that was disturbing your sleep? I thought t

    Killian stood beside Alexander, he had been standing for a while without Alex saying a word to him except for him looking at a video on his laptop, something that he did repeatedly."Go to the alphanumerically arranged files and get me the A1 file." Alex instructed and fixed back his gaze on the computer in front of him. He was looking intently at the security footage of a street cam.He raised his face to look at Killian, only to find out that Killian had not moved from the point where he was standing.Alex pinned his gaze on Killian and furrowed his eyebrows.This was the first time he would ask Killian to do something and the young man would just stand, looking into space."Killian, don't just stand there, fucking do what I asked you to do!" Alex rubbed his forehead, hating the fact that he had to shout at the top of his lungs for something to get done."I beg your pardon Alpha." Killian snapped out of his daydream, he didn't even know what Alex had asked for. He knew that if he a

Mia mimicked her mother. Mia and Melissa laughed at the same time."Mom, I mean I'm on a break but you have no idea that Roland and Jasper pretend to be asleep even when I scream. I didn't even do that when I was their age." Mia whined. She was now in Sophomore year and on a winter break but now, it sucked playing senior sister.Melissa smiled, "come on, they are your sweet little brothers.

    As Kristen walked into the room, he could hear no sound but the sounds of heavy breathing ... And he could perceive the smell of death hanging in the air.Yes, he had trusted his instincts and walked according to his intuition and this room was where it brought him.Kristen traced his hands on the wall and when he found the light switch, he turned on the lightThe sight that greeted his sight was dumbfounding yet, it had a lovely feeling attached to it. Kristen was glad about what he was seeing but he tried his best to pull off a grim expression."Hello there. Who would have thought that Alexander would be here, slitting Victoria's throat?" Kristen walked closer to Alex who stood still, observing him."You know, you don't look like you're on her side," Alex said and then went to some sink to wash his hands off the staining blood of Victoria."And neither am I on your side," Kristen said with a sour face before he chuckled and continued."You know, I must have been joking just now.

    Alex worriedly walked around the hospital lobby like he had lost his mind. Melissa had lost so much blood before they came to the hospital. Coupled with this fact, the doctor had told him that there was very little chance she could come out of the operation room alive.When the doctor told him that his baby's life and the life of Melissa were at risk, he had pleaded with the doctor to save the life of his wife. Not that he didn't care about the baby or anything. If he lost his mate, he wasn't sure if he was going to still keep sane.Melissa was just someone he couldn't bear to lose.Alex wiped his sweaty forehead with a handkerchief and by the time he dipped back into his pants pocket, a look of determination masked his face.He stared at the door of the room they had kept Melissa in and a deep sigh escaped his dry lips.Alexander's heart shook the more. He didn't want to be here when the doctor would give his report about Melissa's health status. It would be so disheartening and he ju

    Kristen stopped at some certain place and alighted from the car. Sophia alighted from the car, seeing that Kristen seemed to be in a hurry."I need you to be strong with whatever you're gonna hear in there. I didn't want you to come with me but you're one stubborn girlfriend." Kristen said and held her hand as they briskly walked in.Now inside the building, the first sight that came into view was a magnanimous conference room that made Sophia wonder if there were such rooms as big as this in the world."Stop the meeting, he is no heir of my father." An old man coughed and slowly cast his gaze to the entrance where Kristen stood with Sophia beside him. "You've been dethroned, young man, you have no rights here." The old man said and leaned back in his seat as though he was already tired. He was the executive head and the oldest man in the Shelvis Cooperation. He even had this company and mafia association built with Kristen's Father."I have evidence. Evidence to show that you all a

He had a lot to do and he wasn't supposed to be here but Sophia was running a fever and he had to stay with her for a while.As he was about to move, Sophia's frail hands caught his in a grip and he wondered how she knew he was leaving. When he kissed her forehead just now, she was fast asleep."Please stay with me, I can't sleep without you," Sophia uttered with her eyes still closed.Kristen sat back down on the bed and after a while, Sophia fell asleep. He tried to sneak out of the room again, but he heard Sophia say another, "Please, Kristen, don't leave me. I feel so cold and lonely."Kristen shrugged and got under the covers with her. A night of cuddling with her was going to not harm right?Despite that he had a lot of things he wanted to do that night, he decided to sh

    "I'm sorry, Melissa, but we couldn't just be like this forever. I just came to say that I'm sorry for everything that happened over the years." Melissa's mother, Lauren said and Melissa scoffed."How on earth do you want me to do, Lauren? You fucking saw that Dad abandoned us and then you had to leave too, huh?" By now, Melissa was already emotional."Babe, we should have this conversation inside the house," Alex said and touched Melissa's arm, causing her to calm down a bit."Please come in, Lauren." Alex invited her in and then waited for her to fully enter before he shut the door.Melissa's heartbeat and breathing increased and she felt the need to use the restroom.She got up and rushed out and then when she got there, she stared at herself in the mirror before. She splashed some water on her face, still not believing that she was experiencing what really lay out in the sitting room, waiting for her.Melissa really had a bad childhood.

    Melissa watched Alex and Mia training from afar and she smiled. After Alex found out that she was pregnant, he began to treat her like she was some delicate egg.No matter how hard she had begged to train with them, Alex had refused. Saying that from then on, she was only allowed to do the warming-up exercise and nothing else."Hey, you thirsty?" Alex was beside her before she even blinked. Before she could get her mind wrapped around what was happening, Kristen stretched a can of water to her."I can feel it when you're thirsty.""Alex, can I ask you something?" Melissa made a face until Alex asked, "What's it that you want to ask?" Alex asked as he drank a little water. He had excused himself from the training grounds just to come to be with her. That was the thing with mates. They just couldn't stay apart from each other."I want to go home. I mean, I'll keep falling sick while I'm here and I can't bear the heat and stress. of this place.
