The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret Chapter 43
Evan’s POVI wake up feeling like shit. Phillippa is lying beside me. I heard it when she came in last night but I didn’t say anything to her. I wasn’t in the mood to talk to anyone and I’m still not. What the fuck was last night?I feel hungover. My head is pounding and my body fucking hurts but I didn’t take a sip of alcohol. That woman’s face returns to my mind. I thought sleeping on it would give me more clarity but I was wrong. I’m even more confused than ever. What if she truly isn’t Leonora? Then I’m a fucking idiot, that’s what. I can smell coffee and eggs in the kitchen. I wash up as quickly as I can and then brace myself to face Phillippa. Goddess, if anything, I feel like a true jackass because for some reason, after finding my true mate—and no, it doesn’t matter that it’s a woman who might be Leo or have her face—I haven’t felt the same way about Phillippa as before. I don’t desire her in the same way. It’s automatic and something I can’t explain. Now, it’s that woma
The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret Chapter 44
Anthony spends the whole day with me, and Thomas only texts me later in the day. After sleeping on it, I’ve somehow woken up with a different state of mind. It’s like I’m not the Leonora who fell in love with Thomas and had sex with him anymore. I’m someone new, someone with way too many problems and who doesn’t want to involve anyone else in them. I reply and tell him I have company, so I can’t come upstairs like he asked me to. Thomas doesn’t say anything else, and I go back to entertaining Victor and Anthony. I’m currently making dinner for them while they watch TV. I have some time to myself and in the kitchen, I can be as sad as I want to because neither of them are looking at me. It’s honestly a relief. So, what do I know?I know that Julius has found out who I am and that he’s offering to appease Evan if that’s what I want. He can keep my identity a secret for me, and all he wants is for me to put on a show for him. What I still haven’t figured out is why he’s willing to h
The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret Chapter 45
Thomas doesn’t text or anything, and that makes me feel so damn disappointed. It’s two in the morning and I can’t sleep. I spent the whole of Sunday waiting for him to come to his senses, but he didn’t do that. He’s been silent, and honestly, I don’t think I should be the one to reach out because he was the one who was unreasonable. To even imagine that Anthony feels about me that way is so wrong and feels sinful. He didn’t believe me when I told him so. So, it’s whatever. I don’t have the time or energy to even deal with such a relationship, so if he wants to cut our ties, then he can do it. I’ll only blame myself because I knew I shouldn’t have gotten involved with anyone when my life is already so complicated. But if there’s one thing that’s clear to me now, it’s that I’m going to work tomorrow. I’ll ride this wave of uncertainty and I’ll see how far it will take me. Evan will undoubtedly try to approach me in order to figure out more, and when the time is ready, I’ll tell him
The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret Chapter 46
Julius is waiting for me at the door when I arrive. The sight of him makes my steps falter. Son of a bitch. Why does he have to be waiting for me right by the entrance to the cottage? Did he think I wouldn’t come?“You look lovely,” he remarks when I climb the steps toward the door. “Thanks,” I say, keeping my voice light and cheerful. “Come on in,” he says as he rolls himself inside the cottage. “I’ve missed your breakfast. Nobody makes eggs quite like yours.”“Come on,” I say playfully, even though what I want to do is punch the back of his head until all my fingers break. “You’ve probably had breakfast in the fanciest of places. My eggs are really nothing special.”“It’s not the way you cook them but the energy you put into them,” he tells me. “The fact that you’re the one who’s cooking them for me makes them way more special. I could say the same thing about sex.”The word makes my breath catch in my throat. He’s not even giving it a break. He wants to cut straight to the chas
The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret Chapter 47
Evan’s POVI clench my jaw as I make my way around the house to the place where my car is parked. I’m fuming because I’ve now realized that Veronica doesn’t fucking exist. I’m being lied to and I was an idiot for even contemplating it. I’ll blame it on the confusion of the situation and also on the fact that I’m unsettled as shit by all of this. Oh, she wants me to prove it to her face that she’s Leonora? I’ll do it. I’ve already got my guys started on researching her background. I gave her the name I know and I’ve found a copy of the ID she presented to Julius for the job interview. It’s a good thing because our housekeeper was the one who accepted the application, and guess where the fuck it was couriered from?Her hometown. The place where I met her. The place where we got married. Now, that should be enough proof that she’s Leo, but I want to go deeper because when I confront her, I want to have the proof in my hands. She has to be staying somewhere, and she must have register
The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret Chapter 48
My workday has never felt this long before. It used to feel way shorter. I’d just make him breakfast, we’d talk, and then I’d leave to pick Victor up from school. Now, he wants to do less talking and more ogling, and I have to play the part. He asks me for a massage and I have to give it to him, and I have to make sure that my breasts touch the back of his head. It’s so disgusting and takes everything for me not to vomit on top of his head. Maybe that’s what I should do in order to let him know how I feel about him. He groans when my fingers press into his flesh. “Your fingers are heavenly, baby.”“I bet they are,” I tell him as I massage him. My fingers are starting to cramp but I can’t stop. I glance at the clock in the kitchen and realize that I have thirty minutes or so left to go. If I can keep massaging him like this, then it’ll be over. He just can’t ask anything else of me. I close my eyes and force myself to continue. I’m doing this for a good cause. That’s what I tell m
The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret Chapter 49
When I wake up, I’m in my bedroom. I sit up quickly with a gasp and look around. The sky outside is still light, and so I deduce that I couldn’t have been out for too long. That’s not my biggest concern, though. If I’m up here, that can only mean that Evan was the one who brought me up here. The last thing I remember is fainting as soon as I stepped out of the car. I get up with my heart in my throat. The first thing I look for is the envelope with his documents. I didn’t make a single copy so if he took them, I’m done for. I lift my mattress, which is where I put it, and there is it. I pull it out and quickly go through it. Everything is there. My bedroom door is closed. I hide it in a better place and then make my way to the door barefoot. My heart is slamming against my chest and my mouth is too dry. I open the door and step out into the hallway. As soon as I do, I see Evan seated on the couch. For a fraction of a second, I saw his side profile and thought that it was Victor
The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret Chapter 50
Evan's POVI step out of Leo’s apartment and sit in my car for a handful of minutes, just thinking about everything. I can’t believe I have a son. The boy in the pictures looks just like me. I’ve never experienced anything remotely similar to this. Seeing those pictures hit me like a wave. It knocked me right off my feet. It’s like I was seeing a version of myself that I knew nothing about, and the longer I looked at the pictures, the more I yearned to be closer to him. This deep sorrow hit me, too. I’d missed out on so much. I saw all his milestones stamped all over the photos. His first birthday. The first time he rode a bike. His first science project. And all the while, he smiled, this big wide smile that can only be associated with happiness, the kind I never experienced in my childhood. It was like finding a treasure I never knew I was searching for. I started looking for pictures when I saw the door across from hers after carrying her to her bedroom. I opened it and saw the
