Andra’s povI didn’t move from the spot where I asked him the question because I was really interested in getting a reply from him. I felt like it had gotten to the point where he should reply to me.“Can we at least sit down before having that conversation?” Ryder said to me and we both headed to the pool side. I sat down and folded my hands across my chest waiting to hear what he had to say.I didn’t want to pester him too much, I was willing to give him time to think before saying what he had to say.“My name is Ryder Dagger.” I opened my mouth and covered it immediately with my hand, I couldn’t believe what I just heard him say, he is Alpha Daniel’s brother.“Do you know who that name belongs to? How are you bearing the same surname as Alpha Daniel?” I tried to confirm before jumping into conclusions.But the more I think about it, the clearer it gets. He always had everything, I remember clearly one time we were talking about the pack, he knew so much I never expected him to know
Writer’s pov“Mom, there’s no need to be scared, I heard he hasn’t been around for a long time, there’s no way the board will pick him over me.” Daniel said to his mom with so much confidence. Today decides his fate whether he steps down and someone else takes over or not. Even though Alpha Daniel was pretending not to be bothered he couldn’t help it, he was only hopeful because it’s not over until it is. He still felt some of them would betray him but at least not all will. “You know we can’t be too sure.” Yolanda said to him while trying to help him arrange his shirt collar. Yolanda looked around the sitting room and Hope was nowhere around, is she not supposed to be here to help her husband? Why is she nowhere to be seen around the house? “Where is that young lady?” Yolanda asked, referring to Hope. Just when she asked, Hope walked down the stairs. She knew that Yolanda was upset from the look on Yolanda’s face. “Where were you? Can’t you see that we’re all set to leave?” Yola
Writer’s povThe board meeting was ongoing and Alpha Daniel couldn’t get his eyes off Ryder; he kept looking at him during the board meeting, which was very obvious. “We will now start the vote casting.” The board head announced and they started casting their votes on who will be the company’s director. Alpha Daniel closed his eyes, he was unable to see what was going on because he was too nervous. There was only one vote left. Alpha Daniel opened his eyes to see who the person would be voting for. He looked at Adrien who wasn’t getting up from his seat. Everyone was curious to see who the vote would go to. Adrien stood up from the chair to cast his vote and to the surprise of everyone Including Alpha Daniel, he voted for Ryder. Alpha Daniel folded his hand angrily, that was the last vote that’ll make him retain his position as the director but Adrien ruined it for him. “Now the votes are in and we have a new director of the Daggers.” The board chairman announced excitedly. Yoland
Deandra povRyder was away for the board meeting. Meanwhile, Aliya and I were yet to get a message from him to know how the meeting went. I know he would have called if there was something bad, but his silence seems like good news. “Are you worried?” Aliya asked. I turned to look at her and dropped my glass of wine. “I would be lying if I say I’m not.” I replied to her and heaved a sigh, this is a big step for us, if only he can get the company getting the rest wouldn’t be hard and this will keep them rattled. “We can’t lose it.” I muttered to myself and turned to look at Aliya. It was time for lunch but I wasn’t able to eat it because I was too nervous and stressed at the same time. I walked to the dining room with Aliya and sat on the dining table with her. Aliya was comfortably eating her food but I couldn’t, I kept imagining the worst while I was seated at the dinning. I picked my phone to check if there’s any message from him but there wasn’t. I dropped the phone back on the
Alpha Daniel povSeeing him today felt like a horror to me, the same young boy that mom told me she already took care of was standing in front of me and trying to take my position from me. I couldn’t stop looking at him because I still can’t believe he’s alive and strong, from his appearance I could tell he lived a good life wherever he was. I was seated in the office after the board meeting. I took a walk around my office, looking at everything that dad accomplished and how I have finally let him down. Even though the company is still going to be headed by a family member he still felt like a complete stranger to me. It still felt like a nightmare I want to forget. How in god's name did I let it happen? I sat on the chair and rested my head tiredly. “Hello brother.” Ryder walked into my office and said to me with a mischievous look on his face, I can’t believe I have to deal with this. “Don’t you dare call me brother, I have no brother, you son of a mistress,” Ryder stopped on hi
Deandra povWe stood there for minutes staring at each other in the eyes. “You are yet to reply to me, what are you doing here?” I asked her. She looked really good compared to how I imagined her life would be living with them, maybe they just hated me that’s why they treated me badly. “Are you not going to let me into your house?” She asked, I turned to look at Aliya and moved to the other side giving her space to walk into the house. While she was walking in she couldn’t stop looking around the house. “Looks like you hit it really big while you were away from the pack.” She said and sat on the couch, “you sure know how to get things however you want.” I saw her words as insults and the way she said it made me even angrier.“I would advise you to watch what you say.” Aliya shunned her immediately.“And you are?” Hope asked. Aliya rolled her eyes and continued using her phone without replying. Aliya didn’t even know who she was but from the atmosphere she could already tell we aren
Writer’s POVAndra still hasn’t gotten over the fact that Hope had the guts to visit her house, she was wondering how she found her, does it mean she has been tailing me all along?Aliya turned to look at Andra and she could already tell that Andra was disturbed, she didn’t need anyone to tell her that Hope is the evil witch that ruined Andra’s marriage.While Aliya was still in the sitting room thinking of how to make Andra feel better, she heard the doorbell ring. She rushed to the door and opened it before the security opens it, when she opened it she was happy to see that Ryder was the one at the door but her excitement turned into anxiety the moment she sighted Adrien, she had a huge crush on Adrien and she Couldn’t help herself when she saw herself standing in front of him. Adrien smiled at her and walked into the house, the smile melted her completely she closed the door and followed him behind. Andra stood up from the couch and walked closer to Ryder. She was about to talk
Andrea 70Deandra povI stepped out of the room and joined them in the sitting room, though it was hard for me to trust Adrien I still tried to give him the benefit of doubt, I tried not to judge him just yet and see if he is different from what I assumed him to be earlier. He turned to look at me the moment I got to the sitting room. “What a world.” Adrien said with a smile on his face. “When Ryder told me you were with him I couldn’t believe it until I saw you myself, I’m happy you finally found a great man for yourself, unlike that asshole.” I was quiet while I listened to everything Adrien was saying to me. “Why did you call him an asshole?” I asked Adrien, I was trying to see if he is really as genuine as Ryder assumes him to be. He was quiet at first and smiled. “I can see you don’t trust me.” I sat up properly feeling guilty when I heard what he said, how does he know I don’t trust him? I turned to look at Ryder and smiled, for a moment I thought Ryder spilled to him and tol
Deandra povAfter getting the call from the police that there is a certain place that seemed suspicious and there's always a baby cry sound coming from the area every morning, which was told to the police by the neighbors.The moment we got the news the first person that crossed my mind was Aliya. I wanted to tell her the moment I got the news. I know that we've been having a rough time but I still want to tell her first. After trying to reach her several times she still wasn't picking her calls, because of that I decided to send a text. After waiting for some minutes she didn't step out of her room.I was fuming, I wanted to go to her room and yell at her for not replying to my message even though it involves the use of kids. So many thoughts crossed my mind as I was standing in front of her room.“Let's go already.” Ryder said to me and we both walked out of the house, when we got outside, I realized there was no point feeling bad anymore and maybe I can just do what I want at the e
Writer’s povWhen Aliya got into the room she felt really bad about how she spoke to Andra a few minutes ago.“Was I too strict with my words?” Aliya asked herself and rolled on the bed feeling confused. She realized she might be doing too much already compared to what Ryder said she should do because Ryder doesn't want anything that'll hurt Andra but at this point what she's doing is going to hurt Andra.“Oh my goodness.” Aliya muttered and all of a sudden remembered her meeting with Leo. She noticed from the way he was talking that something was bothering him, he looked like he was telling the truth but at the same time he kept biting his lips which has always been his lie sign.*******Aliya’s povWhen we were kids it was very hard for him to tell a lie so each time he tries to tell a lie he keeps biting his lips nervously.“Was he really lying?” I asked myself, the whole thing was so complicated, I really want to know if I should try and trust him again after what he did in the pa
Deandra’s povWhen Aliya was out of the house I couldn’t help but worry, I kept checking the time but there was no sign of Aliya yet. “Are you okay?” Clarissa asked the moment she got downstairs. She could tell from the look on my face that there was something bothering me.“I really don’t know anymore.” I said to her and placed my hand on my head before sitting on the couch. Clarissa also sat down and looked at my face. “Is this about Aliya?” Clarissa asked and without wasting time I nodded my head. “I really don’t know what happened, but she sounded really upset when we were talking, it felt like I don’t know her anymore.” I explained to Clarissa hoping to get an advice from her on how to handle the present situation. “Are you sure you haven’t done anything to upset her?” Clarissa asked. “None that I know of.” I replied to her almost immediately, I was completely confused and blank headed the more I tried to think about What happened. “Maybe you aren’t aware but she is, so I t
Writer’s povWhen she was done looking at her face through the mirror she finally summoned the courage to step out of the room. She needed to hear some things from her brother, she needed to know the truth, why he left her and why he didn’t say anything to her before leaving the house that night. She’s been in the dark for years waiting to get all the answers she needs from Leo and now that she has the opportunity to get the answer from him she can’t miss it. When Aliya got to the sitting room she met Andra walking down the stairs. Aliya rolled her eyes the moment she sighted Andra because she knew that they would have to talk about her brother again.“Are you sure about this?” Andra asked Aliya the moment she got closer to her. Aliya brushed her hair backwards with her hand and turned to look at Andra. It felt really hard for her to be cold to Andra but based on the plan that she had with Ryder she has to do the right thing. “Sure about what exactly?” Aliya asked. “Why are you b
Deandra povSeeing their reaction towards Emma made me feel bad for her, I wish I could say something to them but I had to control myself from talking or saying anything that'll make them even more pissed because from the look of things they really dislike Emma. We quietly ate without saying anything to each other. I kept stealing glances at her and I could tell she was not okay, she seemed fine but didn't look at it. Her lips were too pale. “Are you sure you don't need to see a doctor?” I asked her feeling a little worried about her. I really didn't feel good seeing her like that. She seemed really uncomfortable with the way I kept asking if she was okay. “I'm fine Luna Andra.” She replied to me sounding pissed. I could immediately tell from her tone that she was upset already. I didn't say anything to her again after seeing the way she reacted to the question I asked her. She seemed to have a lot on her mind, and it was obvious from the way she was quiet. When we were done eat
Deandra's povAfter walking out on Ryder I paused walking the moment I was out of the room then I covered my mouth with my hand struggling not to cry because the whole thing was messing with me mentally. I now have issues with Ryder almost all the time. We barely have a normal couples conversation that goes well, we always end with a misunderstanding which is beginning to irritate me. I brushed my hair backwards with my hand as I folded my hands angrily. I just want everything to end and go back to normal. I headed downstairs gently and the moment I got downstairs met Aliya looking like she was in deep thought and she stood in front of the door. I could tell there was something wrong with her from the way she was standing. “Aliya.” I tried calling her but she didn't respond to me. I called her several times and decided to go closer to her then I tapped her on her shoulder, it was then she turned to look at me. “What is wrong with you Aliya?” I asked curiously, because it was obviou
Writer’s povWhile Emma was still trying to put the room in order Andra walked in. Emma was shocked she entered the room without waiting for permission. Their eyes met and they stared at each other for a while without knowing what to say. “Sorry, I..I was worried because you weren’t saying anything.” Andra said and scratched the back of her neck confused. She realized she acted on her impulse, she should have waited for Emma to give her the permission to go in first. “Ohh, you were worried about me?” Emma asked and let out a soft smile, while smiling she slowly realized the reason why she’s in the house and why she shouldn’t be too excited. Her smile slowly faded as she picked the last thing on the floor and stood up. Instead of talking more Andra walked inside and sat on the bed worried. “Why are you here? You look worried.” Andra turned to look at Emma when she heard what Emma said to her. “It’s about what you said to me earlier, you talked about having proof right?” Emma was e
Writer's povAliya and Ryder came to a conclusion of finding out what Emma's mission is and the reason why she has been hanging around Andra. They couldn't help but think there's a motive behind everything she has been doing. While they were having the conversation by the pool side Emma sighted them and headed to where Andra was. The new mission she was sent on is something completely unexpected and once she succeeds with this she will finally reunite with her daughter.“I have to succeed this time.” She muttered to herself. “Emma.” Andra called her when she was lost in thought, she snapped out of her thought immediately and let out a fake smile. “I was a little lost back there after what I saw few minutes ago.” Emma stared at Andra’s face afreement telling her something that'll bother her, she was hoping Andra would be interested in knowing what she saw back there. “What did you see that made you look so puzzled?” Emma was happy to hear that Andra cared to ask about it. “Nothin
Ryder’s povThere was so much going on at the same time. There’s Andra being extremely aggressive towards the situation of our kids being missing and her sudden possessiveness towards Emma which I cannot understand even though I want to.“Andra you’re taking this thing too seriously, I didn’t say anything about your family or how you had to lose some family members.” I said to her calmly trying to calm her down with my tone, just maybe she would stop yelling.“You know what I’m talking about stop trying to act like the good guy here, can’t you see you’re suspecting an innocent lady?”I was trying to keep my calm even though I had a lot of questions to ask her. “What makes her innocent? How are you sure she’s innocent like you claim?” I wanted to ask her questions like that but judging from the way we’re going back and forth with this topic already I just want it to end and let her give up on being so annoying.“It’s fine, if you think she’s innocent then that’s on you.” I said to her
