The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret Chapter 20
I get to work early, feeling renewed, in a way. The time I spent with Thomas had a great effect on my disposition. It made me realize that there’s more to life than just wanting Evan to suffer. I’m distracted as I make my way to the front door of the flat. I knock and wait, my thoughts still on Thomas. Julius opens the door for me and the sight of his face kind of bursts my bubble of joy and inserts me into the moment. He smiles at me. His eyes look puffier and lifeless. “It’s nice to see you, Veronica.”“How are you? I heard what happened.” The only reason why I’m asking this is because it’s obliged of me. If I don’t, then it’ll be strange, and I still intend to keep this job. “Oh, it was just a scare. I’m fine.”I say nothing else as I put my handbag on the couch and turn around to face him. “Did you have breakfast already?”He rubs his hands together. “I was waiting for you.”I get started on making him breakfast while he tells me about his condition in detail. I’m only partial

Unfortunately, there’s no way that I can be around to hear Julius berating Evan, but he has invited me for a dinner party they’ll be having tomorrow evening at the Montgomery residence in celebration of Phillippa’s mother’s birthday. For some reason, I didn’t think Phillippa had parents. Or rather, I didn’t think they were alive, but it seems I was wrong. I don’t know if Evan will be there. He might not, considering the way he and Phillippa are fighting. I hope he won’t, in any case. I still need time, but I’m happy with my progress so far. I’ve done something. I’m not invisible or powerless. Julius told me to ‘wear something nice’ and he’s in luck because I still have my old clothes, and I fit into them. I can find a dress to attend a prestigious party. That’s something that’s in my blood. I don’t come across Thomas once. Victor and I have lunch in the kitchen and after he’s done with his homework, I suggest that we watch something on TV. Again, I’m distracted, and a

Evan’s POVJulius is talking to me in a tone that pisses me the fuck off. I don’t know what Phillippa told him, but she’s clearly mistaken because I never cheated on her. I don’t know who the fucking panties belong to and the fact that she thinks I might know is insane. Because if I had to be a dirtbag and cheat on her, then why would I do it in our house, on our bed?“My granddaughter claims that she’s not mistaken,” Julius insists. “If you betrayed her in any way, I want you to be honest with me!”This is another thing that pisses me off, because why the hell would I be honest with him about something that doesn’t concern him at all?This is none of his business.The fact that he thinks it is astounds me. “Look, Julius, from a man to another, why would I ever hurt her like that? Why would I cheat at her at home, where anyone could be watching?”“You’ve been dismissive with her.”“Because what she’s saying is ridiculous and I don’t want to feed her delusion!” I exclaim. I feel like

I stare at my reflection in the mirror. Overall, I’m quite satisfied with the way I look. I think it will leave a good impression on Julius, considering he really wants me to attend this party I heard him tell Evan about earlier. I almost got caught by him. I became too curious and looked for way too long. I remember vividly hiding behind the wall and hoping he’d just keep going. Getting caught is not how I imagined my day would go. He kept going, though, probably brushing it off as paranoia. I’m safe for yet another day. I don’t know how many of these days I’ll have left, but so far, so good. I can’t say how pleased I am that he and Phillippa are fighting. I’ve managed to make a mark in his life without him knowing it’s me. I hope to make things even worse for him and I’ll stop at absolutely nothing until he’s crushed. I’m clad in a plain black dress with long sheer sleeves and a flaring skirt. On my feet, I have beige heels, and I’ve styled my hair so that my bags are covering

The interior of the house is modern with a rustic charm. The living area, which is where I currently am, is surrounded by glass windows that allow one to look at the surrounding forest. Right now, the forest is merely a shadow, but I suppose that during the day, it’s a beautiful and peaceful sight. Natural light probably floods the whole house during daytime, and the floor is made of expensive-looking wood panels. Although the house in itself is rustic and reminds of a glorified and enormous tree house, the furniture is modern and minimalist, but in earthy tones that complement the materials used to build the house. I look around, completely mesmerized. This place does remind me of home, but our house was more of a classic. My father had inherited it from his father, and there were aspects of the house that came from another time. This one is completely modern. I like it. I like it a lot. I force myself to pay more attention to the people around me. Although I don’t see any face

Something takes over my body.I’m forced to act quickly. I head toward the bed and by some miracle, I don’t spill my wine. I leave the wineglass on top of the nightstand and drop to the floor before rolling under the bed. I just need to tuck my arm under the end when the door opens. My paranoia at being seen makes me dizzy, but nobody mentions a thing. Instead, the two people who walked in are none other than Evan and Phillippa. I know this because she asks him, “What’re you doing here? I through I told you not to come.”“You know I wouldn’t stay away,” he says. His voice is steady and the familiarity of it makes me shudder. I look in the direction of my feet and see them standing a few feet apart from each other. “Hector…” she begins and then trails off. “If you’re not ready to tell me what happened, then I don’t think there’s anything left for us to talk about.”Evan walks toward her, closing the distance between them. “I told you a million times already and I’ll tell you again.

Thomas and I lie alongside each other. I'm experiencing a whole bunch of messed up feelings right now, particularly because I feel like I used Thomas to erase that horrible feeling that had been festering inside of me ever since I left Phillippa's mother's house. And it's been very effective. I glance at the alarm clock on his nightstand. There are a few minutes left until midnight, so I can stay for a little while longer. Thomas is next to me, smoking a cigarette. He keeps blowing circles toward the ceiling. His face is covered in a thin layer of sweat. His eyes are fixed on the ceiling, but when he senses me looking at him, he turns his face to look at me. A small smile curves his lips. “Everything okay?”“Yeah,” I reply. “You?”“Of course,” he answers. “What kind of guy wouldn’t be happy with having a girl like you in his bed?”I slap his arm. “Stop flattering me. I might get too used to it.”“I wouldn’t mind that.”As much as I want to focus on this moment and on the gorgeous
The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret Chapter 27
Julius looks incredibly disappointed when he opens the door. “Good morning,” I greet in the friendliest voice I can muster. There’s a crease between his brows and he’s looking at me with narrowed eyes. He’s clearly upset and if I don’t say something to convince him that I’m sorry for having abandoned the party he invited me to, then I’m screwed. So I hunch my shoulders and tell him, “Julius, I’m really sorry about yesterday. Something came up and I had to rush home.”“You could’ve said something,” he replies. He’s tilting his head like he’s hoping he can get a better look at me. I don’t like the look in his eyes. It’s like he looks suspicious. He’s never looked at me this way before. When he was yelling at Evan for cheating on Phillippa, he looked feral and I caught a glimpse of the man he had been years ago. Right now, I have the same feeling. “I know,” I say, trying to sound humble. “I’m really sorry. I left desperately.”He turns around in his wheelchairs and moves toward the l
