EvaAs Lorenzo stopped the car in front of my home, I opened the door and stepped out. I turned back to the window, looking at him with a smile. I bowed my head and said, "Thank you, Alpha Lorenzo."Lorenzo simply nodded, then popped his head out of the window, looking around at the environment. He pointed at the house and asked, "Is this your place?"I nodded, still smiling. "Yes, it is.""I'll give you a call later, okay?" he said, taking his head back in the car.I nodded, still smiling. "Okay, bye Alpha."He just gave a slight nod and drove away. I jumped up, twirling around with joy. I felt like I was on cloud nine, my heart full of happiness. I danced my way to the front door, feeling like nothing could bring me down. I felt so free and alive!Once inside, I flopped onto my bed, still grinning from ear to ear. I ordered my favorite food, an expensive dish I rarely treated myself to. When the delivery man arrived, I took the food and dug in, savoring every bite. The flavors explo
EvaI entered the bedroom, and my eyes landed on Thelma's husband, lying on the bed, engrossed in his phone. A bright smile lit up his face, and I could tell he was chatting with someone. He looked up, caught my gaze, and his expression turned sour. "What are you doing here?" he growled, his tone dripping with disdain."I'm sorry for not knocking. It's just that I–""I'm not asking why you didn't knock. I'm asking what you want," he cut me off, his eyes narrowing. "Why are you even in this bedroom, or do you plan to seduce me or what?" He raised an eyebrow, his gaze piercing.My eyes widened in shock as I shook my head vehemently. "What? No, not at all! I'm here because Thelma is injured, and I need the first aid kit."He shrugged, his expression nonchalant. "I can't help you. I don't know where that is. Tell her to come and find it herself."His dismissive tone infuriated me, but I bit back my retort. I just couldn't believe he acted that way despite me telling him what happened to h
EvaAs I walked home, I couldn't help but think about Thelma's situation. I couldn't shake off the image of her wounded wrist, her leg, and her husband's dismissive behavior. The encounter had left me feeling worried and bitter.Upon arriving home, I found myself without an appetite to continue the remaining food I had kept away. I badly wanted to call and message Thelma about the issue, but I was worried it might anger her even more. I couldn't shake off the thought of her husband, Mr. Thomas, and what I had seen him doing in the bedroom - chatting and smiling with someone else. It seemed like he was cheating on her. Why couldn't Thelma see this? I thought she was wise and perceptive.The worst part was that she might be experiencing domestic violence. I felt compelled to reach out to her. Chewing my nails anxiously, I called her, but she didn't answer. She was probably asleep, or maybe she was avoiding my call? I paced around, debating whether to call again, but I hesitated, fearing
EvaJust as I was starting to panic, a voice called out, "Eva, wait! What's going on? Why are you running away?"I swallowed hard and slowly turned to face the car. My eyes widened as I saw Toby's head popping out of the car's window, looking all worried."My goodness!" I heaved a sigh of relief, my heart calming down.Toby pulled up beside me again, his brows furrowed with concern. "Why were you running? What happened?"I hesitated, then shook my head. "Never mind."Toby's expression turned gentle. "You can tell me, please. You acted so strange back there. Is everything alright?"My eyes fluttered closed as I clenched my fists tightly, the memory still raw. "When you followed me from behind, it triggered the traumatic experience I had a few days ago...with the kidnappers. Remember?"Toby's expression turned apologetic. "Oh no! I'm so sorry for sneaking up on you like that. I didn't mean to scare you."I took a deep breath, trying to calm down. "It's okay. I'm fine now.""Is that your
EvaI opened my mouth to explain, but Lorenzo cut me off. "Meet me right now," he demanded."Ri... Right now?" I stuttered. "I thought we were supposed to meet tonight?""Meet me right now, and don't ask any obnoxious questions," he snapped, his tone firm. I nodded, even though he couldn't see me."Okay, where are you?" I asked. "I'll be coming right away.""I'm at the office," he replied, his voice cold and detached before abruptly ending the call.I knew the company building, so I quickly got ready. I dressed casually, wearing a comfortable outfit and my flat shoes. I grabbed my bag and slung it over my shoulder before heading out to catch a taxi.The taxi ride was short, and soon I arrived at the company building. I got out of the taxi, walked inside the big building and was about to enter the elevator when I heard someone call my name softly."Eva?" I turned to see Lorenzo standing with two guards beside him. He checked his wristwatch as if checking to see if I came late or someth
LorenzoAs soon as Eva left, I let out a heavy sigh, rubbing my forehead in frustration. This girl never listens, I thought to myself. Does she think she's still in her small pack, where the only danger is a stray wolf? This city is vast and treacherous, and she still doesn't want to learn – meeting anyone anymore and exchanging numbers. How did she even meet Toby outside in the first place? I had various questions I wanted to ask her, but my anger got the better of me.I refocused on the documents in front of me, but my mind kept wandering back to Eva. I decided to push the papers away, realizing I wasn't concentrating anymore. A bottle of wine from the cellar sounded appealing, and I thought of getting one to calm my mind. But before I could stand up, a knock at the door stopped me in my tracks. I quickly sat back down, assuming it was Eva again. I pretended to be engrossed in my papers, trying to appear nonchalant.The knock came again, and I felt a surge of irritation. "Come in!"
EvaI woke up with a start, disoriented from my nap. Glancing at the clock, I let out a soft groan, realizing I had overslept. It was already 8 pm, and I was supposed to be at Lorenzo's place at that time. I hastily got out of bed and rushed to the bathroom, still trying to shake off the sleep.After a quick shower, I cleaned myself up, wore a midi purple dress, packed my hair into a neat bundle, and grabbed my bag, double-checking that I had everything I needed. Locking the door behind me, I started running downstairs, my heels clicking on the steps. I was determined to make up for lost time and arrive at Lorenzo's place as soon as possible.I entered a cab downstairs, and it drove me to Lorenzo's apartment. When I arrived, I got out and walked up to the door. Even after knocking, there was no response. I wondered if Lorenzo was inside or if something was wrong. That's when I noticed the door was slightly ajar. I hesitated for a moment, then decided to enter.Pushing the door open sl
EvaLorenzo stood with his back against the door, his feet shoulder-width apart on the floor, and his arms folded across his chest. His eyes were fixed on me, and I felt a shiver run down my spine. I hadn't expected him to be here, especially after our earlier encounter. I wondered what he wanted.I approached him cautiously, feeling a mix of emotions. "Alpha, what are you doing here?" I asked, trying to sound calm.He didn't respond, just kept looking at me with an intensity that made my heart race. I felt like he could see right through me, like he knew all my secrets."Open the door," he suddenly said, his voice husky and deep.I hesitated for a moment, wondering why he was telling me to open the door. I had to comply since I had no choice. As I turned the handle and swung the door open, Lorenzo's hand shot out, grasping mine and pulling me inside.Before I could react, he shut the door behind me, the sound of the latch clicking into place making me feel trapped. I tried to pull m
