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

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

LANDON:When they called on Venita which was unexpected, for the most reason, my heart sank. Not that I was moved by whatever she was going to say nor was it going to have any implication on me. However, if she accepted to actually testify, that was why my heart sank. Would she do it?Standing, "I would like to decline, Your Honor, given that I don't know the case," Venita said."That's valid," the judge accepted.I gave her a broad smile. She just proved a beautiful point to me."We knew that would happen as he, Mr. Kurt has individuals loyal to a fault even if it means preventing justice. We would like to call a second witness to the stand," Anthony's lawyer, a relentless short man stated."Go ahead," the judge encouraged.None of this was getting to me. I couldn't wait for it to be over so that I would enjoy wiping that stupid smirk off Anthony's face. I was fixed on making him hurt in more ways than he could ever understand."Mr. Edwin Hunt, please come to the witness stand," the
The Alpha's Deceit CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND NINETEEN
VENITA:As Landon vanished in court, leaving me at the mercy of Greg to navigate the swarm of reporters, I chose not to dwell on his sudden disappearance. Instead, I maintained composure and had Greg drive me to a nearby store. My plan was to carry on as if everything was ordinary. Honestly, time slipped away as I perused various shops, filling my bags with ingredients for a home-cooked meal. There was a sense of grounding in the familiar routine of grocery shopping.I wandered through aisles, lost in my thoughts, occasionally picking up new books and even a computer. The decision to start studying had solidified within me, a proactive step amid the uncertainties. Today's court case unveiled a complex web of secrets and half-truths. It became apparent that everyone involved had their own agenda, seeking personal gain in the intricate dance of deception.After hours of shopping, Greg and I returned to the residence. Upon reaching the top floor, he handed me the bags and departed. Armed

LANDON:Venita made it more and more difficult to let go of her. Look at the way she cared for my injury like no one has ever done. She was the only one that cared about taking care of me while others wanted just what I could do for them and what they could get from me.After tending to her bruises throwing in a massage to relax her, she curled up in a ball ready to sleep. I just thought I should get some things off my chest."Venita?""Yes?" she yawned."I want to talk about Mirage.""You don't have to," she shut me down. "In all honesty, I have more to say. I guess the reason I'm not running the other way is because of this mate bond thing. Back in Madrid, the store you sent me to shop had mentioned to me how you were married and frequented there with Mirage. I met Mirage back in Shanghai and she narrated how you broke her heart, showed evidence of both of you being married and countless times you've cheated." Scoffing, "I'm an idiot to even believe there's just me in this. I know I'
The Alpha's Deceit CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-ONE
VENITA:Here we were, sitting in court again. As always, everyone was fidgeting and worried about the soon-to-pass judgment. Landon remained indifferent, flirting with me through our wolf bond. The judge shortly entered, and everyone stood up. His voice broke through the silence. "Good morning, everyone. Today, we reconvene to proceed with the case against Mr. Landon Kurt. However, I've received a termination letter from the prosecuting party stating their withdrawal from the case."The court went into a chaotic murmur, flashes from cameras intensifying. It reminded me of the same surprise that occurred when Landon had announced me as his mate to everyone. He had an air for surprising one.All that kept ringing in my head was withdrawal. It was unexpected. What was going on? Anthony seemed determined to bring Landon down and now he suddenly backs down."Due to this development, I find it appropriate to dismiss the case. The termination is in accordance with the prosecuting party's dec
