Trinity's POV

I was worried about Maci. The pack hospital had called me saying that Maci's medication fee was running out. I had to go back to the pack house to ask Marisa for the money she had promised.

On the way back home, I was in a good mood and hummed a song as I walked.

Antoine seemed to be a good man, although I was still a little afraid of him. Sometimes, he was cold and aloof. I couldn't tell what he was thinking.

But after all, he said that he wouldn't force me and gave me the freedom to do what I wanted.

That was enough for me. He didn't have a decent job. But so what, as long as he had a good heart.

Thinking of that, I recalled when he said I was flat like a board last night. Sure enough, he preferred a woman who had a hot body like Briana.

"You're not that good either, " I scolded in a low voice. His attitude was too arrogant.

As I was thinking, I arrived at my pack house.

When I walked into the living room, Donald and Marisa were having coffee on the couch.

They were su

    Trinity's POVThey didn't know I had come back and continued their conversation."Who came just now?" Briana asked."It was Trinity. She came to ask for money," Marisa said with disdain."No way. She has married another pack. How could she still come back to ask for money from us? Mom, don't give her a coin.""Of course, I won't. It took me so much effort to get rid of that slut and that Maci. She will never get anything from me."Marisa's harsh words pierced through me. My body froze, and I couldn't move a little."Mom, you are so clever. How does the saying go? Kill … what with one stone?""Kill two birds with one stone. I have told you many times to read some books. You'll be a Luna. You need to be prepared.""Mom, you know that I don't like reading. Besides, Trystan doesn't care. He only likes my body.""You can't be young forever. By the way, you have to be careful. Trystan may be suspicious that you're not pregnant. You have to make him mark you as soon as possible."It was like

    Trinity's POVEveryone in the living room was shocked to see Antoine standing at the door.Marisa gave me a severe glance. I knew she was blaming me for not telling them that Antoine would come. But I didn't know better than others why he was here.Then, I realized that tears were still running down my cheeks, so I secretly wiped them off. I didn't know why I did so. Probably, I was more afraid of Antoine than the others.Marisa was the first one to react. "How did you get in?" Marisa asked. Her voice contained a little dissatisfaction.She didn't know how much Antoine had heard about the conversation and didn't dare to be too arrogant. After all, Antoine was one of the Vaughan pack.Antoine didn't reply. He directly walked into the living room.When he moved, I saw there was a man behind him, holding many boxes in both his hands."I brought some gifts to my wife's family," Antoine said.What was he doing? I shouted inwardly.Hearing that he came to send them gifts, Marisa managed to

    Antoine's POV"Wait. Wait a minute," Trinity panted and stopped me when we walked out of the Webb pack's house.I stopped and lowered my head to look at her.Her forehead was sweating. "You walked too fast."I looked at Corey, who stood a few steps behind us, holding those boxes of gifts. He looked fine."I don't have your long legs," Trinity complained.It was my fault for not noticing it.Then, I saw Corey was still staring at us in shock. When he met my gaze in the air, he slowly turned his head away.Realizing I was still holding her hand, I immediately dropped her hand.Trinity seemed not to care. It took her some time to smooth her breathing.Then, she straightened up her body and pointed at the boxes which Corey was holding. "What about those gifts?"I frowned. I thought I had said clearly in the house just now."Where did you get those? They must be expensive. How could you afford to buy those gifts?" Trinity kept on throwing questions at me.I raised my hands to sign her to c

    Trinity's POVI didn't get the money from Marisa to pay for Maci's medical fees. It made me frustrated.I looked at Antoine, who was typing something on his phone. He was so focused on his phone that he didn't notice I was observing him.His jacket and trousers were worn and faded. But they were clean and coordinated so well that it made him not look like a bludger but with some kind of charm.I even once thought that he might have chosen his clothes deliberately within a limited budget. He might be born with a good taste.I couldn't help but wonder if I could borrow some money from him. But almost immediately, I thought the idea was too ridiculous. It was just a nominal marriage between Antoine and I. How could I borrow money from him just after we married and after we agreed that we could not interfere in each other's business?Not to mention that Antoine couldn't have extra money to lend to me. He didn't even have a job.And how did I explain to him why I needed so much money and I

Gabriel tilted his head to look at me and asked.He sat in the back seat next to me."No. I have another plan," I said without moving my eyes away from the document."Fine. Drop me at the company so that I can continue my work," Gabriel grumbled.Suddenly, he shouted, "Is that Trinity?"I followed his gaze and looked out of the car window.Trinity walked out of the building of the Radiance Design with a man.The man wore a tailored suit, tall but thin.They were talking about something, and they both laughed.My eyes narrowed. I hadn't seen Trinity laugh so happily in front of me."I think I have seen them together before. Where was it?" Gabriel tapped his forehead with a finger.I didn't know if it was that hard for him to remember it, but I knew that I was about to lose my patience.Just before I was about to explode,

I read all the articles on the company's website.When it was lunchtime, I decided to go downstairs to buy my lunch and get some fresh air.Someone called my name when I was waiting in the queue to buy a sandwich.I turned around. "Octavio!" I shouted in surprise.The man who was smiling at me was Octavio Friedman. He was a senior when I was a freshman at university."I haven't seen you for a long time. You're prettier now," he chuckled.I smiled shyly, "It has been a long time. I haven't heard from you since you graduated. How are you?""Work, home. Nothing special. My office is nearby."I noticed the employee's card hung in front of his chest. "You work in the Radiance Design?""Oh, you saw it." Octavio followed my gaze and looked down at the card."Me too. I got the job two days ago." I was delighted to meet someone I was familiar with working in the same company."How lucky am I!" Octavio curled his lips. "Will you be surprised if I tel

Because this time, I was officially an employee of the company.Being able to work in my dream company was so exciting, especially when I thought that I was about to see the president, the mystery and handsome Alpha.When I told Antoine that I got the job, although he congratulated me, he seemed not interested. He didn't even ask me for any details.But I didn't mind. My mind was full of imagination for the job. I was glad that he could let me do what I wanted to do.I was also nervous because I didn't know if I was competent for the job.According to what I had learned, except for his mysterious background and outstanding appearance, the president was also ruthless. That was why he could build up his business empire and make his pack one of the most powerful packs in the country in a short time.I was curious why they would let me be the president's PA. Af

    Antoine's POV "Alpha, do you need me to leave the car for you?" Corey asked from the driver's seat. "No, I don't have other plans today. You can drive the car back," I said from the back seat. Corey was driving me to the house where Trinity lived. Although I might have to sleep on the couch, I still voluntarily asked Corey to drive there. Corey kept glancing at me from the rearview mirror. It attracted my attention. Finally, I couldn't stand it anymore and asked, "What the matter?"' Corey cleared his throat. " Alpha, why do you have to change your clothes every time you go there? And why do you live so far away from the city center? You have so many properties in the city." I gave him a severe glance. Corey felt the pressure and pressed his lips tight. He reluctantly turned his attention back to driving. After a while, he still couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked, "Alpha, why do you let her be your PA?" I glanced at him from the rearview mirror. "Aren't yo

She's lying," I shouted in my heart.While Meadow was like being encouraged, she raised her head and glanced at me arrogantly.I felt frustrated and lowered my head. Tears welled up in my eyes.Why did they ask me to come over? To humiliate me again?When I was desperate, I heard Gabriel say, "You're very persuasive, Meadow. But I couldn't just listen to your words. Is there anyone who can prove what you said?"I raised my head to look at Gabriel in surprise. My feelings were complicated.Meadow's expression changed a little. "Many people know about it, including professors and students.""I need a name, Meadow," Gabriel insisted."I can't tell you the names, Mr. Glenn. It concerns their privacy. Please understand me," Meadow said carefully.Gabriel smiled. He held his two hands together and placed them on the table. "I know some professors at your university, and I have asked them about it
