Her words are so heart breaking. She was sick but didn't want to tell me because she did want to be a bother to me. She only felt that way because of how I've been treating her ever since she showed up. I don't have time for her and even when we're together, I'm cold and distant… acting like I don't
.ASHANTI'S POV.“Come in.” I call out the moment I hear a knock on my room door. Immediately, the creaks open slightly and Ryan's black hair pokes in.“Ryan.” I call, chuckling lightly. “What's wrong? Why are you poking just your head through the door?”“Your date has arrived to pick you up.”“Oh…”
ASHANTI'S POV. I shut my eyes close and suck in a deep breath, hoping that when I open them again, I won't see Alpha Reagan standing in front of me anymore because as it is now, I'd be more at ease with the fact that I've started seeing things than that he has come here to stop me from going on thi
CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY-FIVE.ASHANTI'S POV.“Leonard, once again I'm very sorry about Alpha Reagan's intrusion. It was very wrong of him to show up the way he did.” I apologize to Leonard for the umpteenth time as we take our seats at the table for two. “And for the one thousandth time, it's
ASHANTI'S POV. “Home sweet home!” I say, expelling a deep breath as Leonard parks in the driveway of the compound. The dinner date went better than I expected. He kept urging me to eat whatever I wanted and I nearly cracked my ribs with laughter because of the hilarious jokes he threw every now and
“My Lord.” Leonard addresses him, bowing his head slightly. I don't bother to do the same. I keep my head up, staring right at him like he has lost her mind, because clearly he has. What the hell is he doing here? “I’ll take it from here, Leonard.” Says Alpha Reagan in a very dry tone and a hoarse
REAGAN'S POV. I did not see the smile, but I know it was there on her face when I said those last words to her. I felt it. I was able to make her smile despite my creepy moves on her this evening and that's okay for me. I can go to bed with that. That guy Leonard, he might think he's getting somew
REAGAN’S POV. “Selena…” My voice is a low and husky. She stares at me with eyes as bright as a hunting torch and I can see the excitement swimming in them. “Yeah.” “Before that happens, I need you to tell me a few things.” “What is it you want me to tell you?” I let out a heavy exhale before se
“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
