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

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

Halfway up the damn stairs, I ask myself what the hell I’m doing. Even so, I keep going. My legs are carrying me up the stairs and into his room. I stop in front of the closed door and press my ear against it. I don’t hear much, so I decide to peer through the keyhole. I have something I plan to do, and it’ll work out only if I make it in there. I don’t see anyone when I peer through the keyhole. The room seems to be empty but I can smell something like shower gel. He’s still in the bath it seems. I should turn back. I shouldn’t be here. This is a suicidal mission. If I open the door and he’s in his room, he’ll see me and my plan will be ruined. I’ll be forced to put all of this on hold. But at the same time, Julius is starting with his bullshit and I’m not willing to sleep with him in order to keep this job. So, the point is that I have to act. I have to do something and quick. So, I hold my breath and open the door as slowly as I can. I hear the shower running and feel a sense
The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret Chapter 33
Evan's POVI step out of the shower and immediately look around the room, not caring if I'm dripping water all over the carpet. I'm pretty sure there was someone in here. I didn't see anyone but I heard the person walking around the room. I could've sworn it was Phillippa but why wouldn't she answer me when I called her?I glance at the door and take note of the fact that it's closed. Everything else in the room appears untouched. Am I imagining things? Maybe the stress is getting to me. That's the only sensible explanation for all of this. There wasn't anyone in the room. But there's this unfamiliar scent in the air. I take a few whiffs and feel every part of me coiling up. Did Phillippa get a new perfume or something? Because that's what it smells like to me. The scent is rich, earthy, fruity, and there's a depth to it that makes me breathe in more than I should. I return to the bathroom and dry myself, the new scent still clinging to my nostrils. I'm almost dressed when the door

My anxiety keeps me up at night. In the morning, I’m bleary-eyed and exhausted but my nervousness keeps me reasonably awake. I think about giving up multiple times. Maybe I’m crazy. Maybe I’m making the biggest mistake of my life. What if I don’t come back from that trip? What if Charlie apprehends me and then calls Evan over to finish the job? There are many risks involved. The longer I think about them, the worse it gets. I drop off Victor, kiss his cheek, and then watch him head into the school’s building while I decide what to do next. I have to do something. I can’t just stand here. Do I go or not?Butterflies flutter in my stomach and not the pretty kind. I start feeling queasy. I have to decide. I give myself a few minutes. It’s a bad idea and I can just feel it. I might blow my cover completely. But if I don’t go, I might miss out on an important piece of information. I have to try. I’m on a lucky streak lately. This could be the reason why I changed my whole life and cam
