“I uh… we…” My anger tips over and I slam my palms against the table, causing a loud bang that echoes throughout the empty room and makes the girls jump in their seats out of fright“Stop stuttering and answer me! I want your voice and sentences to be as clear and concise as the ones you made when
ACHILLES' POV.Rhea.The sound of that name in the red girl's voice keeps ricocheting through my mind like a bullet. Irritation burns through me each time the image of her face flashes in my mind.She's Ashanti's sister. The one who has been causing troubles for her since the day they both set foot
RHEA'S POV.“Why won't anyone tell me what's going on?” I ask the guard who ushers me into a dimly lit room, but I get no response from him. I was napping in my bedroom when armed soldiers barged in and asked me to follow them. They escorted me out of the Harem quarters and brought me to the castle
RHEA'S POV.“Get on your feet and start moving!” The guard who walks into the room barks, but I'm too weak and stunned to move.…you will be punished for your crimes…Those words are still ringing in my mind. The wild look in his eyes spoke a hundred unspoken promises to me when he said those words
RHEA’S POV.“Alina.” I call in a shaky voice. She offers me a crooked smile that doesn't reach her eyes.“If you get hanged in public, that will be better than spending the rest of your life in a prison cell. Don't worry, I'll pick up from where you left. I'll have you in mind every time I want to m
ASHANTI'S POV.I've been pacing about since the moment I got into this bedroom. My mind is restless, my heart is beating too fast, and sweating out of nervousness and confusion. I have no idea what's going on. When Beta Ronald got me out of that dungeon cell, I thought he was taking me to the execut
ASHANTI’S POV.Alpha Reagan accompanies me to the hallway that leads to Rhea's cell. I have tried to get him off my back time and again, but he's adamant to stay behind. He wants to go with me to the cell and hear what I have to talk about with Rhea.“You know what you're about to do is invasion of
“Ashanti, leave.” She sneers and her voice is a shaky mess.“Not until you tell me why you hate me so much. What did I ever do to you, Rhea? Why did you always have to treat me with so much hatred and disdain? Why?” I ask bitterly and all hell breaks loose.“Because you always thought you were bette
“Oh…” Is all I manage. Now I understand why he’s always so understanding . He’s guilty of the same crime. I can only imagine the look of terror on the guys’ faces whenever they ring the doorbell and Leonard opens the door and starts interrogating them.Chills!“Yeah. So, are you ready to leave?”“I
ASHANTI’S POV.My shoulders rise and fall as I let out a small sigh and stare at my reflection in the mirror in front of me. My blue eyes stare right back at me, hard, and I can bet they are judging me for insisting on going on this outing with Leonard, but I don’t care about their judgment either.
REAGAN’S POV.“And I’m not comfortable with you living under the same roof with another woman.”Ashanti’s declaration burns in my mind as I take the elevator ride to the floor where my office is located. Heck, I’m not comfortable living with another woman under the same roof either. I’m not doing th
She knows all that talk about me staying here so I can practice more with my team members is utter crap. She knows Alpha Reagan is the only reason why I want to be here.“Alright honey. If you say so. But remember I’m just a phone call away. Do not hesitate to call me if there’s anything wrong with
ASHANTI’S POV.My heart sinks into my stomach when I hear Reagan’s car zoom out of the premises. I hate starting a fight with him, but with his recent behavior, I couldn’t help it. It’s annoying when he acts so possessive of me, but can’t decide if he wants to end up with me or his ex-mate who’s liv
ASHANTI’S POV.“Good day to you, my Lord Alpha.” Leonard, who’s still standing by my side, greets the disgruntled looking Alpha Reagan with a bow.“Good day to you, Leonard.” He replies with his deep voice laced with dark undertones. I guess he still dislikes seeing me with Leonard. He’s going to lo
He’s stolen all of my heart yet he has the guts to live with another woman in his chambers…Ashanti, now you are going off topic. Leonard’s standing right before you. Focus your thoughts on him and the conversation you are having with him.“I uh…” I stutter, pushing a few strands of hair that keep f
ASHANTI’S POV.“Congratulations to the top 5 contestants of today’s phase of the competition. You all created outstanding designs and deserve to be at the top. Let’s give a round of applause to these magnificent design teams.” The hall erupts with applause from the other contestants and I can't help
REAGAN'S POV. I don't know if Selena left like commanded her to before exiting the room because I didn't spend the night in my bedroom when I returned from my walk. It felt so wrong to go back in there and sleep on the same bed a few hours after a naked woman other than Ashanti had slept on it. Doi
