"What are you doing here?"Mariana asked as he came closer to her."I should be the one to ask you that, what are you doing here?",he asked as he came closer to her,his gaze boring into her."I am working here"she replied."You didn't tell me"he said."I didn't see the need to,how did you find out?"she asked."I don't see the need to tell you too"Alex replied and Mariana chuckled."You know what babe,this company is not good for you to work in,you can work in mine,I can make you the manager,I can give you everything you ever dreamed world,I will make your dreams come true, just say the word""Alex,I am very grateful for everything you have done in my life but I want to achieve my success through my hard work,I feel it's good if we work in different company"she replied"Okay, whatever"Alex replied."So do you want to eat out?"he asked."I am still working"she replied."Okay,I will pick you up after work"he said and she nodded her head.Luke was in his office , when he stared outside the
Luke summoned Mariana to his office and she didn't waste time in arriving at his office."yes sir,you called me"she said to Luke and he looked up staring at her."Take this"he said pointing the bag on the couch."what's this?"she asked taking the bag."Check it out First"he said going through some documents before him.Mariana was curious to know what that was.she opened the bag and saw many clothes in it."what's this for"she asked Luke."can't you see, it's some clothes, the cloth you will be putting on to come to work."he replied her watching her to know her reaction and like he expected,she was not happy.Mariana brought out the clothes to see the type of cloth it was, seeing the cloth,her jaw dropped."How do you expect me to wear this type of clothes,are we in the old dynasty,you must be joking to tell me to wear this"she said going through the clothes."That's the dress code and you shall wear it"Luke said in a serious tone".Mariana was already irritated"damn that dress code,I rea
Alex was filled with rage,he clenched his fist."that conniving bastard"he cursed Luke and drove away.Back in Luke's office, Mariana was already tired after correcting about two hundred copies.she glanced at her watch ,she was so tired and hungry.she glanced at Luke,he was busy with his laptop.she stared at him in anger,she felt like punching him."this fucking heartless bastard"she cursed him Luke was busy that he wasn't aware that Mariana was glaring at him.Luke walked towards her asking whether she was okay,she glared at him,next minute,she started to punch him all over, kicking his ass.Luke was crying out in pains."what did I do?"he asked tears escaping his eyes.Mariana enjoyed the pitiful state he was in."next time don't make a woman to work extra time,you should care for a woman, don't be a heartless fool"she yelled."I am sorry,I won't do it again, please forgive me,I won't"he begged Mariana who smirked."I am not satisfied yet,I would make sure you have respect for women after
"father"Alex muttered."Yes son,long time no see"Damon replied."What are you doing here?"Alex asked surprised."Aren't you happy to see me,my dear son"he asked.Alex clenched his fists,he hated this man infront of him."we both knows that you never saw me as your son"."No need to beat around the bush,you know why I am here"he replied walking around Alex."I am afraid I don't know why"Alex replied."I gave you a task to perform and you turned away from it and started doing another thing"Damon said in a cold tone staring Alex in the eyes with a cold gaze."I don't know what you are talking about,I did everything you asked of me without complaining"Alex replied trying to remain bold.he couldn't stand his father's gaze.he was the only man he feared.Damon scoffed."I told you to trick that woman "Mariana"so we could use her but what did you do,you fell madly in love with her.Alex clenched his fists,he was surprised on how his father knew that he was in love with Mariana."You must be sur
When she arrived at the hospita,she wore a face mask ,glove and hospital gown and rushed immediately to her sister's ward.there,she saw her sister,her eyes opened.When the doctor saw that Mariana has arrived,he smiled."you are here already,we are just running some check ups on her""I can't believe this,she is finally awake"Mariana said to the doctor drying her tears with her handkerchief."You can see her now"the doctor informed.Mariana nodded.She went closer to her sister's bed and touched her hands.her sister looked at her with her dull eyes."Ari"her sister said in a low tone.Mariana smiled,her twin was the only person who called her Ari, she missed her so much."Yes,Ana,it's me,you have woken up,you left me all alone,do you know how much I missed you"Mariana said with tears in her eyes."I .. wa...nt to..hu.hug you"Emiliana said to her trying to get up from the bed but Mariana held her back."Don't worry yourself,I will hug you many times when you are strong."The nurses came
Few hours later,they arrived at the jet terminal.they entered the private Jet.all those while, Mariana was looking around the whole place.she was confused."What are you searching for?"Hector asked when he noticed her behavior."The question should be who am I searching for?"Hector looked at her questioningly."I don't see our boss, thought he said we will meet here,where is he?are we leaving without him?"she asked Hector who smiled.He saw this as an opportunity to play with the two mates."yes,you are right,he is not going with us,he is staying back because something came up""Wow,so it's only the two of us going now,am not even experienced,how can he trust us with this kind of thing"she said."Speak for yourself,are you forgetting that I am his right hand man,I am experienced"he replied."Okay, whatever"Mariana said looking through the window.She didn't know why but she was sad that Luke was not going with them,maybe she has become attached to him.she closed her eyes and drifted o
Alex was shocked,he couldn't believe his ears"what?are you out of your senses?how do you think it's possible for her to kill her sister, come on,this is impossible."It's possible,try your possible best,return her against her sister even if it means compelling her,I don't care, just do it anyhow."Damon said to him impatiently."It's not possible,I know Mariana well,she can't hurt a fly,she loves her sister so much,are you out of your mind?who gave you that stupid idea""Do what I tell you to do, don't ask me stupid questions"he said and cut the call.Alex has lost ideas on what to do.his father's hatred for Luke and his plan for vengeance on him has made him crazy that he didn't know what he was doing again.Alex was so tired of letting his father control him.he have to meet Mariana and inform her about his father's plan against her.**************AUSTRALIA.The next day,Mariana received a call from Hector telling her to get ready for the business meeting.she took her bathe and put on
Hector came running towards Luke."what is it?"Luke asked."You need to see this"Hector replied showing Luke the phone.It was about the kiss between him and Mariana.it has become the main topic of the day."What do you want me to do? should I tell them to take it down"Hector asked, he was very worried."Don't do anything,let the people talk,after she is my woman"Luke replied ,obviously he was not bothered."This might seem okay to you but think about Mariana,do you think she would be okay with this?"Hector said to Luke.Luke remembered the incident between Mariana and her manager then,she must have gone through a lot."Okay tell them to take it down"he said to Hector and Hector nodded his head.**************Alex was in his office when his phone beeped,he picked it up and he saw a video,he clicked on it and he saw Luke kissing Mariana.he clicked the comments section.it was a hot topic and people were commenting."Wowww,I never knew he had a girlfriend""Ohhhh,he is so romantic, kissi
The next day, Mariana opened her eyes slowly and she found herself on the bed with her clothes changed.She remembered sleeping in his car,he must have been the one that brought her home.She covered her body with her arms thinking Leon had something to do with her change of clothes.Just then,the door clicked open and her sister Emiliana came in with a tray of food."Good morning"Emiliana greeted as she kept the table on her bed in front of her."Good morning sis,"Mariana said to her."A good looking man brought you home yesterday and your dress was soaked in water so I had to change your clothes for you so you won't catch a cold"Emiliana said to her and she heaved a sigh of relief.Emiliana brought out a tablet and gave it to her."Drink it now,it's medicine for the cold,I don't want you to fall sick"she said to Mariana who drank the medicine immediately.After eating the food brought to her by Emiliana, Mariana thanked Emiliana who smiled at her."Anything for you sis"Emiliana said.
Mariana continued crying till tears couldn't come out of her eyes again.Alex's body had turned white and he wasn't recognizable again.Luke didn't want to talk to her that day because he was still trying to process everything that happened but he couldn't ignore her because his wolf wasn't at rest seeing that she was out in the rain and she might catch a cold if she stayed out for long.He stepped out of the car and his guard put an umbrella above him but he took it from him and walked towards Mariana.He put the umbrella above her and Mariana looked up to see him looking at her."We should go home before it gets late,"Luke said to her, breaking the awkward silence between them."We will take his body with us"Mariana said and Luke sighed heavily."There is no need for that,his body will disperse,vampires are not buried"Luke said to her but Mariana didn't agree with him."I don't want that to happen,I want him to be buried, that's the only thing I can do for him"Mariana said to Luke."
As soon as Mariana reached there,she held Alex while tears were escaping her eyes and flowing down her cheeks while soaking her cloth.She stared at Alex with her already red eyes."Please don't leave me,"she pleaded.Alex stared at her with a calm Expression on his pale face.he was finding it hard to breathe and he was already weak as life was leaving him.He tried to free himself from her hold but Mariana held him tightly crying."Ana,you never loved me,my love for you ended me"Alex said in a cracked voice."I am sorry Alex but we can talk things out, please hang in there,I will call the ambulance"she said to him.A sad smile formed on Alex's face.he didn't know that Mariana still cared about him like this after what he did to her,he thought she would be happy about what happened to him but she still cared.he felt pain in his heart as a feeling of guilt took over his being.It's not only Luke's wolf that was hurt and filled with jealousy but Luke was too.he felt a sharp pain in his
He pushed Mariana into the car before sitting on the driver's seat.he inserted the key into the car,he started the car but it was not moving.he tried and tried but the car didn't make a move."Fuck"he cursed hitting his hands on the dashboard.He took his gun and alighted from the car to check what was wrong, that's when he saw that the tires of the car were flat.He knew this would be Luke's doing.he turned to Luke but before he knew what was going on,the gun he was holding was knocked away from his hand.Everything happened so fast,he was sent flying to the other side and he landed on the ground.He stood up after catching his breath,he looked to see Luke and his men surrounding him.he knew Luke was a smart man but he didn't know he would pull a fast one on him like this.he knew this was the end.it was many against one."Don't be a coward and stop hiding behind your men, face me"Alex said to Luke.Luke had a serious Expression on his face,he was fed up with Alex,he crossed the line
Mariana was filled with joy on seeing that Luke was safe and sound.Luke was very happy seeing that he came on time before Alex could do anything to her.he felt butterflies in his stomach when he saw the way she was smiling happily at him,his wolf was filled with joy.Alex knew that he was no match for Luke and he wouldn't escape here easily and it was possible that he came with his men.he thought of what to do since he came here alone with Mariana and he was on the losing side.An idea popped into his mind, he would use Mariana as a way to escape.Seeing that Luke was distracted,his eyes turned red,his fangs appeared and his vampire long sharp claw emerged.He grabbed Mariana by the hair immediately and Mariana yelped in pain because of the force in which he grabbed her.Luke's eyes turned golden immediately with anger because of how Alex was mishandling his mate.He tried to rush towards Alex but his words stopped him."Take another step and she will become a dead body"Alex warned,hi
"When you were sick,I gave Mariana a watch which had a tracker in it so that if something bad happens to her,I will be able to find her,"Hector said to Luke."What if she is not wearing the watch now?"Luke asked him."I will try to track her, this can be able to help us,let's hope she is wearing the watch"Hector said to Luke."Be fast about it"Luke ordered him before the call ended.Luke's expression was cold as he drove to Alex's house.he just hoped that Alex didn't do anything bad to Mariana.Soon he was in Alex's house,he asked the maids and security about the whereabouts of Alex and they all told him that he hasn't come back.He believed them because he didn't perceive Mariana's scent.He entered his car to drive away when he received Hector's call."I found them,"Hector said to him immediately."Send me the address"Luke said to him before the call ended.soon a message popped up in his phone.He entered his car immediately and stepped on the accelerator.********Meanwhile in a r
Luke was very worried,he drove at a fast speed to Ic corporation followed by his guards behind.As soon as he arrived in Ic corporation,he stepped out of his car in a rush into the company.no one stopped him from coming inside as soon as they recognized who it was.no one wanted to get into trouble or provoke him.Alex's secretary wanted to stop him as soon as he got to Alex's floor but she restrained herself immediately as soon as she saw who it was.Luke headed straight to Alex's office,he pushed the door but it didn't open.he was very angry,he could perceive the scent of Mariana here.He turned angrily to his guards who have been trying to catch up to his pace since he arrived in the country."Break this door down"he said to them and they headed towards the door to carry out his orders.the secretary watched as she couldn't do anything to stop them.she knew Luke was more powerful and dangerous than her boss Alex but her boss was more heartless and brutal.she didn't know what to do,Al
Few minutes later,Luke arrived in the country with his men.Hector had stayed behind to take care of Kate's matter.As soon as he stepped down from the jet,his wolf became restless.he was in pain."Mate"his wolf whispered.he thought of what the problem was,is Mariana in danger?he thought to himself.his hands searched through his pocket immediately and he brought out his phone.he dialed Mariana's number but it was switched off.he became more worried immediately.He called Hector immediately to know about the guard he said was protecting Mariana but he didn't pick up his phone."Damn it"he said with gritted teeth.He took the car key from one of his guards Immediately.he entered the car and drove away at a fast speed with the guards who were confused following his car behind.Few minutes later,he arrived at Mariana's house.he alighted from the car and rushed to her apartment.he knocked on the door but no one answered.he was very anxious as he knocked again.He was relieved when he heard
"You made me go through so much pains and torture just because of your mate"she said to him."Looking at you,I don't know what punishment will be enough to quench the anger I am feeling towards you right now. The minute you tried to harm my mate,you became an enemy and you should be treated like one,"Luke said to her."I almost died because of your foolishness,"he said to her."I am sorry,I only did it because I love you so much,I was very jealous of her"Kate said to Luke."Don't apologize to me,"Luke said to her."I don't know what else to do with you,but this is my last warning,stay away from me and my mate because I won't spare you next time"he said to her before leaving.Tears rolled down Kate's cheeks.she didn't know what to do.Luke was angry with her and she didn't want that.she knew Luke well and knew that he didn't spare his enemies,he cared about her by not doing anything very bad to her,he only slapped her.The door closed and she was locked in darkness again."What should w
