I was on my way to the pack house in my car. Right now, my mind is completely disorganized.Because of her words and the way she looked, I could not help but think about the past.I recalled the night she drugged me. I used to believe that she was the one who did it."How can she admit it?" I groaned in anger as my fingers clenched around the steering wheel.I was okay until today. I was aware of her plans against me, but the moment she admitted that she had drugged me and married me only for my position, it gave me discomfort in my chest.I swerved the car to go in a different direction. I no longer had the mind to return to the pack house.I went to my company's apartment. I took a shower to ease my mind, but Natalia's words kept replaying in my head.I went out of the bathroom after the shower, lit a cigarette, and took a few puffs.It somewhat relieved my distress a little.At that moment, my phone began to ring. I glanced at the screen of my phone and noticed that it was Lynda.I
I could not sleep the whole night as the past began to replay in my mind.After that night, when I woke up the next morning, I found a stranger lying next to me naked under the blanket.I was not shocked at all. I thought it was just another girl in the club who wanted to earn money by selling her body.But what surprised me was that I could not recall anything. I was not even sure if I had slept with her. But there were many purple marks on her bare back, indicating that I had slept with her."Are you okay?"I heard Patric's voice, which brought me back to reality from my thoughts of the past. I had no idea when he entered my office room.I was sitting on the couch while holding the cigarette between my two fingers. When I glanced at the cigarette, I found it half-burned. I was so preoccupied by the old memories that I forgot about it."Hmm," I replied.Patric walked over the couches and took the opposite seat. He looked at me."They are on their way to the company."As I heard him,
I was able to recognize myself in the video. In that video, I was having a conversation with a friend. Our drinks were served, and I took a sip on mine. Later, a waiter helped me get into a room since I was not feeling well.I rewinded the video and saw the waiter adding something to my drink. I was not expecting it.When I tried to see who gave him the order, my eyes widened.It was not Natalia!It was another woman. I was able to get a better look at her face by zooming in. My jaw was clenched as I stared at the face of the woman that was displayed on the screen.I discovered that she was Natalia's cousin."Does that mean she did it and Natalia is innocent?" Benjamin asked all of a sudden, as all of them were standing next to me, to find the truth.I said nothing, which made him stop talking.There was no way that Natalia could be innocent. She might be the one who gave her cousin permission to do it.I continued to play a few more videos. This time, I was only interested in watchin
She began to cry while holding the doorknob. She took out her phone and dialed someone, but after speaking with the person on the other end of the line, her face turned pale.She threw her phone away and wiped her tears. My eyes were not moving from her broken look. Something moved inside me as I struggled to maintain control of myself.At that time, a few men approached her. She took a step back as they stood next to the room. One of them opened the door and directed her to enter. From inside, a man in his fifties came out and stood at the door.I could hear gasps from beside me.Natalia joined her hands to the old man as if she did not want to go into the room.Standing outside the room, one of the men grabbed her by the neck and forced her to gulp down a bottle of wine. She pushed him and began to cough after taking a few gulps.Those men began to laugh while looking at her. The old man said something to the men after scanning Natalia from head to toe, then went inside the room, l
The moment the video was over, I shoved the laptop away from the desk and threw it on the floor."Adrian!"Patric tried to hold my hand, but I yanked it away. "How can I be so stupid? HOW?"I growled when I felt like my heart was burning in hellfire. I could not believe Natalia was innocent and had not drugged me.In fact, she did not even look like she had any intention to trap me.It was all because of Natalia's cousin."Bring that bitch here to me. I will kill her."I yelled at my officials, who immediately lowered their heads in submission.I ran my fingers through my hair as I was losing all of my patience.Natalia was innocent!She was not the one who drugged me. Her intention was not to ensnare me in any way. Because I was under the influence of drugs, I was the one who might have been the one to initiate getting closer to her. She was only trying to save herself."WHY?"I punched the glass of the desk in anger. Immediately, blood rushed out of my broken skin as my hand broke
I left the company and got into my car. I was not surprised to see that my car was waiting for me outside. I believed Patric was the one who called my driver to take out my car."Alpha, where to?" My driver asked.I could not reply. Where would I go? In Natalia's house? Was she there?With a rough heartbeat, I dialed a number while trying to calm myself.The call connected, and a man's voice reached my ear."Alpha.""Where is she right now?" I asked while looking outside the window."Alpha, as you ordered us, we always kept an eye on her. She is in the Moon Lovers coffee shop right now.""Moon Lovers coffee shop?""Yeah. That is the place where she is currently working."Why was she working in a coffee shop? Didn't I give her my cards to use?"Send my driver the address," I said and cut the call.In a few seconds, my driver got the address and started the car to head to that coffee shop.In the meantime, I checked my phone to see the balance of the cards that I had sent her through De
"Alpha, don't you want to go inside?"My driver's voice made me look away from Natalia.But then I could not help but glance at her once again.My driver lowered his head when he realized that I was not in the mood to reply to him.I came here all the way to talk to Natalia, but when she was in front of me, I had no words to say.What would I tell her? How would she react?As I was thinking all of these while looking at her for a long time, I heard a few voices from outside."She is like a butterfly. Hard to catch.""Yeah, but she is your sister-in-law. Don't look at her like that.""Senior, you can't say that. I introduced you to Natalia.""So what? Your big brother fell for her. So stop looking at her with any other intentions."I frowned when I heard those voices. It was their words and Natalia's name that caused my frown to deepen.A couple of boys who appeared to be college students passed by my car.It seemed like they were leaning on my car a few minutes ago. By looking at the
Third POVNatalia immediately yanked her hand away the moment Adrian was about to pull her along with him toward the door to leave the shop."What's wrong with you?" she asked with a pair of frowning eyes.Adrian looked at his hand, which was in the air, when she snatched her hand out of his grip.She could not help but try to observe him.What was he doing here?"Natalia, I need to talk to you right now," Adrian said, gritting his teeth.He was not angry at her but at himself. He could not just handle himself at that moment. All he wanted to do was tell her about him learning the truth."Why you–"Natalia wanted to yell at him but then paused. She glanced around and realized that everyone was staring at her. She gave them an apologetic smile."Guys, please enjoy your coffee."Adrian stared at Natalia, who was smiling at others but only giving him the cold shoulder.A young boy stood up and made his way towards them."Mr..."After pausing for a moment to examine Adrian from head to to
