The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret Chapter 24
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

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

There’s one drawer that’s locked and it immediately piques my interest. I search the desk for the key but I can’t find it. For some reason, I’m fairly confident that I can find something good inside of it, something that I might hopefully be able to use as leverage. Unfortunately, without a key, there’s no opening to safely. If I break into it, he’ll know, and then he’ll want to look into it and my cover will be blown because he doesn’t even have to dig deep to find me. I’m right in his house. Same face, different name. He’d still recognize me, though. Of that, I’m certain. I keep looking for other clues. I’m well aware of the ticking clock. Sooner or later, Rose will come looking for me and I’ve taken long enough as it is. I imagine her standing outside of the bathroom door, knocking on the door and asking me whether I’m inside, the tiramisu in her hands. The thought makes me frantic, but I might not have this opportunity again, so I have to make the most of it. I come across a

Evan’s POV“Fucking strange,” Uncle Charlie says to me over the phone. “Can you believe that I never had anyone call my number accidentally? Never?”“Yeah?” I ask, completely disinterested. I have a bunch of paperwork in front of me and I have to get into it. I like talking to my uncle but he’s calling at the wrong damn time. “Just happened. Fucker didn’t even say anything,” he claims. “Anyway, how are you? I got those papers you asked of me.”“Yeah?” I ask. “They’re done?”“As done as ever,” he replies. “I don’t know why you took so long to fake your death, kid. Honestly, you’re lucky that nobody came after you with threats.”“I was a nobody back then,” I state. “Who would even care to remember me? Evan Montague was nothing but a poor boy whose parents left him nothing but bad debts.”“You never know,” Uncle Charlie claims. He sounds like a paranoid old fuck. “Anyway, they’re here. I understand that you don’t want me to send them to you. You’ll come get them yourself.”“That’s right

In the end, I decide that it would be best if I went there myself. I don't want to involve Anthony in any of this. I've given him enough trouble as it is with my life. Now is the time for me to move on without inconveniencing anyone. So, on my day off, I'll ask Bethany to take care of Victor and I'll go see him. I have a fixed plan in my mind that I'm convinced will work. The only way I'll get close to Charlie and get some valuable information about Evan is if I act like I'm me. I can always say I found him and want information on Evan. I'll see then what he'll say. I’ll record our conversation and maybe try to find some clues around the house. I’m assuming Chester Road is where he lives, but I could be wrong. Work was uneventful and I had no chance to go up to the house. I have the lunch with Thomas, though, so I pick up Victor and tell him about it. I take note of how his face scrunches up and his mood shifts. “What, you don’t want to?” I ask him. “It’s whatever,” is his ans

Thomas opens the door for me and we stare at each other for a few seconds before he opens it wider, a signal for me to come inside. Once I’m in, he closes the door. “I don’t know what to say,” I tell him. “I’ve never seen him act like that.”“It’s okay,” he says. “No, really. It is. He’s a kid and I understand that he doesn’t like me. Trust me, I felt the same way about my mother whenever guys talked to her. I know what it’s like.”I recall the way he told me that he thinks Thomas is trying to be his dad. Where’s he getting that from? “I can’t stay long,” I remind him.He nods. “I know. I just thought you’d want to talk about this.”I sigh and cover my face with both hands. This is a nightmare. Thomas clears his throat, and I figure that he has more to say. He slides his hands in the pockets of his jeans and says, “I also thought that we could talk about us for a bit.”This makes me nervous. “What do you mean?”“I don’t know what’s brought you here,” he admits. “People move for al
