The Alpha's Deceit CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TEN
VENITA:The last thing I remembered was Landon offering me a pill to swallow. When I woke up, I was in a cramped place, darkened. I couldn't stretch and it felt cold beneath me like it was an iron floor. I fought the heaviness in my eyes and tried keeping them open. To my dismay, it was a cage in an office with the top and back covered with a fabric. The other sides were left open for ventilation and light. An animal cage. That was where I was stuffed like some animal at the shelter. Please, don't tell me that Landon also projected this somehow. This would be the height of it. "Have I been here?" I asked myself. The office looked familiar in a way. I couldn't see all the corners but the floor had the same finishing as the one in our room.The door swung ajar and Landon strolled in. He had some documents in his hands which he flung everywhere, overturning the table in one haul."You! You're responsible for this. You came into my life and everything went sore. I have lost a lot! Just be
The Alpha's Deceit CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND ELEVEN
LANDON:When Venita passed out after taking the pill, I gathered and carried her to the bedroom of the jet, working on the computer until we landed. Then, the highlight of the event, when we wanted to exit after landing, I had carefully put her in a cage and then took her to the packhouse in Westbourne or The Bloodhound as Clay would refer to it sometimes. I knew no one would be there. I needed that silence for clarity and also to keep her.After arriving, I got a new phone and went to work. Oh, believe me, it was a lot. Countless emails, lawsuits and a whole load of meetings to attend. I told Peter to hold my calls except for the important ones, and after my lashing out at Venita, I left her to go to the office. Her time in solidarity should be for reflecting on her wrongdoings. Time wasn't on my side because I had gone for a court hearing and also granted an interview to at least clarify the news that had been leaked to the press about the pharmaceutical accusation. "Thank you so

VENITA:"Was anybody hurt?” I asked, wincing in pain as I tried to sit up.“We’ll worry about that later," Landon said. “And, for now, we’re going to let the fire chief and the police think it was a gas explosion.” I frowned. "Why can't e just let them know that someone tried to kill you but I just happened to be there at that time?""Someone was out to kill me?" Landon repeated."Yes," I answered."That's the more reason we will keep the news under the radar. I have a lot that I'm handling already. Making it known that I was a target of assassination is likely to bring more attention to me.""Okay," I understood. Whatever he was dealing with must be serious for him to be tense. Obviously, it wasn't because I nearly died and he was surprisingly apologizing for that. “I…I couldn’t sleep…considering where you put me,” I sighed, trying to be as detailed as possible yet, careful.I told them the rest of the story starting with my abduction in Madrid when I left the store out of anger aft
The Alpha's Deceit CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN
LANDON:After we visited Simeon's, Venita asked to be alone for a while, wanting to take a walk. I hesitated at first, worried she might not come back. But my wolf nudged me to give her space. Truth is, I needed some space too. A lot was going on inside me – anger, betrayal, guilt – a real mess. As she walked away, my wolf and I had our own little battle of emotions. Amid all this internal chaos, I realized there were practical things to take care of. Venita's passport was probably gone in the fire, and Dr. Grant needed to check on her. My emotions were all over the place. I wanted things to settle down, find forgiveness, and figure out a way forward. Deep down, I still loved her, despite the confusing images in my head. I hoped against hope that what I saw wasn't real, just a messed-up illusion. When I got back home, having given Venita some cash for her journey back – she insisted on finding her way without help – I decided to gather everyone important for a talk. Reaching out to
The Alpha's Deceit CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN
VENITA:To say that I was beyond heartbroken and intrigued by what I saw, was an understatement. I guess we all have demons in us but in different ways. Very different ways.The hard drive, my passport, and the papers I had stolen from my Dad's diary were sadly up in flames. It meant for me to start all over again. They were my source of revenge and understanding of the mess my life had fallen into. So, I decided to go back to where all this started. Home.Thank goodness that Lanson didn't light t when I told him I wanted to go on a walk. With the cash he gave me, as soon as his car was out of sight, I swallowed hard and stopped a cab, driving straight to where I once called home.Entering the familiar neighborhood, nostalgia set in but I locked them out. No, I was here for a purpose and I was going to fulfill it.What kept ringing in my head were the words inscribed on my Dad's diary. I gave in to my thoughts and called straight to the little flower garden a stone's throw from where

VENITA:Landon stood up from the couch, his words cutting through the air. "You should have told me you were hungry." He was clad in just pajama pants, revealing a sculpted upper body that made my eyes wander. The muscles in his shoulders defined pecs, and those sexy six-pack abs – I couldn't help but trace their contours with my gaze, feeling a flush of embarrassment. I was already withering and desiring."Stop it, Venita!" my wolf shouted at me. "Stay focused.""Oh, now you can talk. Incredible," I mocked her."I wasn't hungry until now," I lied, attempting to divert attention from the obvious. Landon sighed, taking my hand, and leading me to the kitchen. "Sit," he gestured towards the chairs around the breakfast nook.He opened the refrigerator, retrieving bread, cheese, and fruit, and laying them out in front of me. A knife and wooden cutting board followed, as he skillfully prepared a plate of food for me. "Thanks," I murmured, biting into a piece of bread, trying to resist the
The Alpha's Deceit CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTEEN
LANDON:Venita was bored. Her gaze fixated on the captivating views of the city from my office. Books, a laptop, and magazines lay untouched on the table. She observed me at my desk, engrossed in a phone call and typing on the computer. Her hungry eyes watched me. It was peculiar, but she found me attractive and commanding, like a leader ruling his kingdom with the way her eyes occasional cast down. I saw her as a Queen deserving to rule that kingdom with me.Honestly, I felt lighter after the discussion last night. It wasn't the right time to tell her the whole truth but at least she had a knowledge and this would prepare her for the truths to come.The court hearing was in four hours and I had so much to prepare for. Anthony seemed to pushing hard, showing that he had sufficient support around him. I was actually excited to see the faces of my enemies in court today. One thing for sure was this wasn't even a battle to start with. An issue a breath of my word will easily fix.Not eve

VENITA:My body betrayed my mind and I wanted to hate that but I actually liked it. What was wrong with me?There was nothing much for me to do here and I had already quit so, it quickly got boring. After our steady session, Landon had us have breakfast and then prepared for his court hearing. In all honesty, I thought he wouldn't want me anywhere near the court but he also made sure I tagged along. For one, he didn't want me out of his sight. Then, two, he wanted me to see the 'truth.' I'm not exactly sure what he meant by that.The big courthouse was in front of us, surrounded by photographers snapping pictures as Landon and I walked toward the door. The cameras flashed, making it feel like time stopped for a moment. The flashes were blinding and the countless microphone poking his face was annoying. He made sure to hold my hand tightly personally guarding me even though Adolf, Greg, Cross, and about five other security personnel were with us. When we got inside the courtroom, thing
