The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret Chapter 60
Evan’s POVThings have been a mess after Julius’ death, and I’ve had a lot of fucking cleaning up to do. Staging a murder as a suicide takes a lot of effort, particularly because you don’t want to leave signs that a murder could’ve been involved. I made it seem like he killed himself by placing the gun strategically in his hand, and cleaning up all the prints from absolutely everywhere that I could’ve touched. Now that the job’s done, all that’s left for me to do is stand aside and comfort the ladies. Phillippa has come back, and she’s devastated by the death of her uncle. It’s like the last few days haven’t happened at all. Honestly, I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that it hasn’t been that long at all. It feels like weeks since she left to live with her mother. She’s now relying fully on me to comfort her and it’s like we never separated. Barbara is a different story. I don’t like the way she’s looking at me at all. She’s suspicious of the whole thing and

Two weeks later…Thomas nuzzles the side of my neck and wraps his arm tighter around me. “Good morning, my love.”I find myself smiling as I move inch to him. He begins kissing the side of my neck and I shudder with delight. For the past few weeks, we’ve been in the honeymoon stage of our relationship. Everything has been so wonderful and perfect. I’m glad that I decided to stay, even though my decision upset Anthony, who’s been on my side since day one. He wanted me to leave because he never trusted Evan and he thinks I’m making a mistake. I understand his concern, but at the same time, I can’t stop living my life because I’m afraid of Evan. I have to move on. And this is how I want to move on. For such a long time, I’ve been bitter, and my heart has been cold. Thomas made me feel alive again, and the more time we spend together, the more certain I become of my feelings. “Morning,” I murmur. “I wish I could stay in bed with you all day,” he tells me. “But I have work today. Unfo

“Listen here, you pretentious bitch!” I curse at the top of my lungs. I don’t care if there are people listening, and I don’t care how bad a scene will make me look. “I have nothing to do with Hector, and even if I did, it wouldn’t be any of your business!”This woman has crossed the line with me before, and I won’t let it happen again. If she thinks she’s dealing with someone who’s afraid of her, she’s mistaken. Her gasp is loud and full of indignation. “Excuse me!?”“You heard me,” I claim. “If you ever speak to me the way you have again, I promise you that you’re going to regret it!”“Oh, will I!?” she asks, stepping forward. “Maybe you’re the one who’s going to regret the challenge you’ve presented me with. Do you think that I don’t know that you and Hector are together? That you’ve both somehow planned Julius’ death!?”The mention of Julius almost makes me draw back, but I can’t show weakness. In the coldest voice I can muster, I say to her, “You’ve lost your damn mind. I had no
The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret Chapter 63
Evan’s POVSomething is wrong with Phillippa, and I can’t tell what it is. She’s been acting very strangely as of late, and I genuinely don’t know why she’s changed so much. It’s not that she’s out of love with me; it’s that she’s quiet. Occasionally, I’ll catch her staring at me, too. It’s the most uncanny thing ever, and makes me unsure of what the hell is happening. I can positively say that ever since Julius died, she hasn’t been in the right state of mind at all. Her grandfather meant a lot to her, and I’m sure she thought that she would still have a few good years with him. I don’t regret what I’ve done at all, though, even if my actions mean that she’s hurt. Maybe it’s unfair to blame the shift in our relationship on her. It would be very cowardly of me to do so. I’m saying this because I’ve changed myself. Most of the time, I find myself thinking about Leo, and when that happens, it’s very easy for me to forget that Phillippa even exists. That woman has altered my life co
The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret Chapter 64
I don’t even dare to look up as we approach the table with Thomas’ friends, who happen to be fucking Evan and Phillippa. This is just my luck. Outside, when I first saw Evan in the restaurant before we headed inside, I had to stop and tell Thomas that maybe I didn’t want to do this. “Why’d?” he asked me. “What’s going on?”I hated that I couldn’t find an excuse good enough for us to turn back. I’d told Evan that we would never cross paths again, so how was I going to show up to a double date with him and Phillippa? That was just going to complicate things. I also couldn’t tell Thomas that Evan was the man I’d been married to. I was glad that I’d been thoughtful in the beginning to not say anything about Evan to him. How would I have guessed?What kind of coincidence was this?“I…I just can’t,” I’d stammered uselessly. “Maybe we should turn back. Apologize.”He placed his hands on my shoulders. “They’re inside already, waiting for us. Imagine how awkward that would be? No, there’s
The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret Chapter 65
Evan’s POVI want to kill Thomas. The thought slips in my mind, and it’s impossible to get rid of. Every time he touches Leo or even looks at her, I get that some thought. His hand is on her shoulder, then it slides under the table where it presumably lies on her thighs, and with each passing second, and I get more and more sickened. I never in a million years would have guessed that she’s the woman that has him head over heels in love with her. I didn’t suspect even when I saw him at her apartment building. I guess it never crossed my mind that Leo could’ve moved on like I did; that she’d find someone who’d love her. I hate that so damn much that it hurts. I’m trying to play it cool, though. I don’t want to show her or Thomas that I’m bothered in any way. By the looks of it, he has no idea that she and I were ever in a relationship. If he knew, he wouldn’t even be here, and I suspect that it would be the end of my friendship. Of course, this implicates things, because if someone

Thomas parks the car, sits back in his seat, and comments, “That was shitty, wasn’t it?”I find myself nodding even though I’d initially told myself that it’s better if I stay neutral to all of this. Especially after tonight, there’s no way that I’m going to be able to tell him that Evan is my ex-husband. Well, legally, we’re still married, but that’s beside the point. “I don’t understand what happened,” he explains as his hands drop to his lap. “Hector tends to be a solid person. I’ve never experienced anything like that with him or his fiancée.”I don’t comment. I keep staring at my lap, and just hope that this moment will pass soon. I want to forget this night ever happened. To motivate myself, I tell myself that in two weeks, I’ll forget this ever happened. Evan will go back to being someone from my past.“I’m sorry about tonight,” Thomas says to me. When I look up, he’s staring directly at me. “I feel like a total jackass for having put you in that position. It wasn’t fair to y
The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret Chapter 67
We arrive at the location, and it’s absolutely breathtaking. His mother lives right by a lake, like he’d said, and all around the lake are other houses, shops, and even hotels. It’s like the lake is the center of this little town in the mountains, and it’s such a refreshing sight. Victor gets out of the car and steps closer to the lake. “Whoa! This place is so cool!”Thomas and I get out next, and I push my sunglasses to the top of my head to get a better view. The surface of the lake is sparkling, and there’s so much greenery around. This place seems to me like a slice of heaven on earth, and I have the feeling that it’s going to be a good weekend. I hope it’ll distract me enough from the disastrous dinner, and also the dream I had with Evan that for some reason, keeps replaying in my mind. Victor runs closer to the water, and Thomas makes his way around the car to reach my side. He puts an arm around my shoulder and asks me, “What do you think?” “It’s beautiful,” I tell him gen

The longer I stare at Anthony and he doesn't wake up, the more I panic. What if he's dead? What if I didn't just slam the vase in his head for him to pass out? I walk around him, trying to get a good look at his face. He doesn’t appear to be breathing, but maybe I’m just panicking way too much. So, I try not to panic and wait for him to stir, which he hasn’t done in the last ten minutes since I’ve been here standing over him. I decide that I’ve had enough. If he’s dead, then I’d rather know now than wait for longer. I kneel down, barely breathing as I reach out, and press two fingers against his neck, feeling for a pulse. My own heartbeat is so loud that it drowns out everything else. But then—a faint throb under my fingertips. He’s alive.I let out a sharp exhale of relief, though it’s short-lived. Slowly, his eyes flutter open, a groggy confusion clouding his gaze as he begins to stir and come to his senses. For a moment, he looks like he doesn’t recognize me, his gaze unfocused
The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret Chapter 105
Evan’s POV The road stretches out in front of me, winding and dark. My knuckles are white on the steering wheel, but I can’t let myself loosen my grip—not until I have him back. The text from her still sits on the screen beside me, her message short and mocking. It’s an address, nothing more, like a command.I’m not entirely sure of what to expect from this. Is she mocking me? Did she believe me when I said that I wanted to be with her?I know her well enough, since we’ve been together for quite some time. She wants me to come crawling. To say I was wrong, that I never should’ve left her. She thinks she has that kind of power over me, and I’ll let her believe it. I’ll say whatever she needs to hear, promise her the world if that’s what it takes to get my son back. I don’t care what I have to do. I’ll do whatever is necessary. I’ll be selfless for once. My stomach twists at the thought, a bitterness that feels like swallowing nails, but there’s no other way.I turn off the main roa
The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret Chapter 104
Evan’s POVI call Phillippa, and she doesn’t answer the phone. It’s not off, so she’s probably staring at her phone and smiling to herself as she watches her screen light up with my name flashing across it. “Bitch,” I curse before groaning in frustration. Each passing second deepens the knots in my stomach. Victor’s gone, and every instinct in my body screams to find him, to bring him back where he belongs. I didn’t even think that I had it in me to feel so much paternal instinct. I barely know him, yet my despair would’ve been the same even if I’d raised him his whole life. I’ve lost count of the calls I’ve made by now, and I still have no answers. Even some of the men who once were on my side won’t answer the phone. Then again, they were Montgomery contacts, not mine. Every lead has crumbled, and I’m left staring at the emptiness of my own mistakes.I’m fucked, through and through. I should be leaving the city by now if I have any hopes of escaping the bullshit investigation tha
The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret Chapter 103
I shove Anthony off of me with all my strength, and even that doesn’t feel enough to completely shake his touch off. It seems this terrible night is determined not to end. It’s like a never-ending nightmare. A surge of disgust and anger rips through me. I can’t believe he’s done this. That he would try to kiss me. I’ve always seen him as a father figure, so this really messes with me more than words can say. He stumbles back, his eyes widening with shock, but his shocked expression quickly changes into a bitter scowl. "Milena," he says, his voice low and edged with that same twisted need he’s tried to rationalize as love only a few moments ago. “You don’t understand. Everything I’ve done... I did for you. I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again until you understand. Until it sinks into your thick skull!”“For me?” I hiss, my voice shaking with disbelief and rage. “You murdered Thomas. You tortured Evan. And now you think you can stand here and—what? Kiss me? Confess some sick
The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret Chapter 102
Sitting alone in my apartment while Evan goes hunting for our son is the worst thing that’s ever happened to me. The silence in the apartment is almost unbearable, pressing down on me with a weight I can't carry. I sit on the edge of the sofa, staring blankly at the door, waiting for it to open, and for Evan to walk into the apartment with Victor safe in his arms. The ache in my chest is relentless; a mixture of fear and guilt and helplessness that threatens to consume me.It’s the worst thing I’ve ever experienced. This despair is unlike any other. There’s no pain worse than having my son taken away from me by some lunatic with the worst of intentions. I’d been a fool to leave him by myself. I was irresponsible. If anything happens to Victor, I’ll blame myself forever. I’ll never get over it. Not ever. Phillippa took him—our son, my sweet Victor. It’s hard to even wrap my mind around the reality of it, that she would go so far, that she would hurt Evan and me by taking the one th

Evan’s POVThe taxi stops outside Leo’s apartment building, and she pays the nosy asshole before we step outside. Leo opens the door and exits the car quickly. She’s moving fast, her body almost vibrating with energy. She’s probably in shock, maybe in pain after everything that’s happened, but right now, she’s got one focus, and that’s Victor. I don’t mind it. At least one of us should get there fast and make sure that that fuck isn’t there, hurting him. I’ve promised her that I have a place where I can put her and Vic for a while, at least just until she can get to the bottom of this. I’d follow her up the stairs, but I know that I’m not going to be able to make it. I watch her disappear inside the building for a moment, feeling that pull again, that sense of her slipping through my fingers, just like she did once before. But I don’t have time to think about that now. But this is different. Now, we have a sort of understanding with each other. She’s not going to run away. Where wo

After a few minutes of messing with the chains, I finally figure out how to release him. Evan lands on the ground with a thud, and groans in pain as a result. I make my way to his side, wanting to touch him to help him stand up, but then stopping myself. These conflicting emotions will be the end of me. I stare at him as he tries to catch his breath, and for a moment, I feel sorry for him. His eyes meet mine, and within them, I see the same amount of sadness that I feel, but his is blended with disbelief. “You shouldn’t have come,” he says before coughing weakly. “You shouldn’t be here. I’m not...worth it.”His words catch me off guard. “What?”“I deserve what’s being done to me,” he then says before his eyes study my face. His body is shaking, and I’m not sure why. “I’m just glad to know that you’re alright.”I grit my teeth. “That’s not your decision to make, Evan. I’m the one who gets to decide what I do, not you.”He turns on his side, and then peels his shirt from his body, sh

“Why would I tell you anything regarding that?” Anthony says to him in the most cruel voice imaginable. I’ve never heard him use this voice on anyone before. I barely even recognize it. Why has he been keeping Evan here? So, he knew where he was this whole time?I have a terrible feeling in my gut. “I just want to know that she’s safe,” Evan rasps. This is followed by a dull sound, like someone punching a wall of meat, and Evan groans in pain. I cover my mouth with my hand. I can’t believe what I’m hearing. Why would Anthony do this? Out of all the things he could do, why? Why keep Evan prisoner? He’s clearly hurting him. I came here thinking that I would find a clue concerning whether he killed Thomas or not, but instead, I find this. And there’s no satisfaction in this for me. This is something I never expected from Anthony. I know he hates Evan, but to go to this extent. I almost feel ashamed of my feelings. It’s not like I’m saying this because I care about Evan—he has ruine
The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret Chapter 98
“…right, Leo?”I turn my attention back to Anthony, and ask him, “Sorry, what?”Anthony is standing by the window of the living room, eyeing me strangely. He then says, “Are you okay, Leo? Is there something in your mind? You’ve been distracted all day.”“No, I’m fine,” I claim, even though it’s a blatant lie. “Don’t worry about it.”I have to admit that I haven’t been fine since I found that sweater. My spirit is restless, and I have to find out what the hell is going on here. Anthony is hiding things from me. It’s easier to notice this when I’m paying attention, and I can tell the huge difference between his normal state and now. I’m just horrified. The sun behind him is setting, and the fading light casting long shadows across my apartment. I’m sitting on the couch, trying to seem relaxed, but there’s a tightness in my chest that won’t go away. There are times when I think that my suspicions are nonsensical, and that I should just ask him what the sweater was about outright inste
