The Alpha's Reluctant Bride CHAPTER 67: Couple Phones
-=Martina's Point of View=-I opened my eyes and couldn't help but feel disappointed when I noticed the ceiling with which I was familiar.I was back in my room, and here I thought, Kian would allow me to be beside him waiting for me to wake up, so we could talk about my plan of confessing to Zion, but I guess whatever reason he had was something that he couldn't just ignore."Oh well," I said, before getting out of bed and starting to stretch to remove the drowsiness I was still feeling.I probably kept on stretching when I saw something at the top of my dresser, so I walked toward it and saw a letter."Sorry if I needed to return you to your room again without us talking about your plan, but let's meet again later, so we can discuss it. I love you."I couldn't stop the smile from forming on my lips when I read the last part, and unconsciously, the word I love you escaped my lips as if Kian could hear those words.It was still early, giving me the time not to do anything yet, and bec
The Alpha's Reluctant Bride CHAPTER 68: My Stepson's Lover
-=Martina's Point of View=-When I arrived home, I immediately went to my room and locked the door. I know, I looked suspicious from the way I acted, but I was just so excited with my new phone, and I didn't want anyone to distract or disturb me."What phone should I choose?" I asked myself, looking at the two boxes, and then I remembered that they have the same model and design, so any of these two boxes should do.I picked the right one and started unboxing. I remembered those vloggers online who focused on unboxing different items, such as phones, gadgets, and even mystery boxes.I thought of doing that as well, but I decided against it. First of all, I am not a vlogger, and second, I didn't have the guts to post it online.I know that the online world is sometimes a cruel place that can make or break a person, and I didn't want to take that risk. Besides, there are three people who would likely bash me to death, and those would be my evil stepmother and her two equally evil twin d
The Alpha's Reluctant Bride CHAPTER 69: I Promised, but...
-=Martina's Point of View=-"Don't think about it, Martina!" I told myself when those dreadful words crossed my mind once more.Ever since I thought about Kian and him being Zion's illegitimate son, I couldn't stop myself from thinking that I would become my stepson's lover. It somehow mortified me, and it did cross my mind to pray that Zion would not acknowledge him or else it would be even more awkward than it is now, but when I remembered Kian's condition and how Zion could help him, I immediately changed my mind and decided that it would be better for Zion to acknowledge Kian as his son.After trying to erase it from my mind, which didn't really help, I continued walking and pushed the secret door, showing me the staircase to the passageway directly to the western part of the island.Since it wasn't my first time, it was easier for me to navigate it, and honestly, I didn't feel the need to use my phone as the source of light, but I decided to use it still, just to be on the safe s
The Alpha's Reluctant Bride CHAPTER 70: I Can See Zion
-=Martina's Point of View=-I wasn't surprised anymore when I woke up in bed the following morning. Disappointed, yes, sad, maybe, but surprised? Not really.I gazed outside my window and saw the brightness outside, but I didn't get out of bed yet. Seeing that it was still too early for me to get ready for breakfast, I leisurely laid down and did nothing while remembering last night.What started as a great day almost turned into a night of worry when I saw Kian falling down. Thinking that he finally had a relapse of losing consciousness, I immediately went to him, only to see him in agony. Because of my promise that I would not ask him about it, I have no choice but to assist him, but even though I promised that, it doesn't mean that I would stop trying to figure out his condition and how I can help him."Zion..." I thought to myself when I thought of what I needed to do, and that was to pry into Zion's condition.I wanted to visit him in his room to check if there was anything I cou
The Alpha's Reluctant Bride CHAPTER 71: I Love Him
-=Martina's Point of View=-I felt like a jerk afterward when I realized how rude I was to Zeke, who was only doing his job, but the worry and dread I felt for Kian's condition was making me irrational, not to mention the deadline of my confession to Zion, which should just happen in a few days.I felt like a ticking timebomb was planted inside me, and I only had a little time in order for me to detonate it, or else everything would fall into a rumble.After realizing my attitude toward Zeke, I tried to take a deep breath to calm myself before talking again."I thought you agreed for me to see Zion?" I asked, sounding calmer."Of course, mistress, however," he said, his voice stopping mid-sentence.I decided not to say anything for fear that I might start to snarl at him again, and it didn't take long before he continued talking."Master Zion isn't in his room," he replied."What do you mean?" I asked, feeling confused.The thought that Zion left without my knowledge worries me, becau
The Alpha's Reluctant Bride CHAPTER 72: The Deal is Off
-=Martina's Point of View=-I could see the shock written all over Zion's old face; he probably didn't expect to hear those three words from me, and honestly, I didn't expect that I would be able to say those words to him.I didn't know what had gotten into me, but the words just slipped from my lips so naturally that I didn't even realize it until it finally sank in."I... mean, we all cared and loved you, so we hoped that you would live for a long time," I stuttered.I noticed that he was still stunned by my previous comment, and I didn't want to make things more awkward between us, so I decided not to wait for his reply and decided to leave."I'll be going back to my room," I said, and I didn't wait for his reply and left like a coward, as I was.I didn't even look back, but I could feel his intense gaze behind my back, and I tried hard not to stop walking and turn around to look back at him.I felt like my heart was beating so fast and worried that it might escape my chest as I wa
The Alpha's Reluctant Bride CHAPTER 73: He's Gone
-=Martina's Point of View=-I didn't know how to react to what she said, and thinking that I just heard it wrong, I opted to ask her."I'm sorry, but I didn't think I heard you right," I said.She took a deep breath, and from the way her eyes shifted, I felt like it was either she was feeling guilty about something or she was worried, but whatever it was, something was definitely bothering her."I said that you didn't have to confess to Zion anymore, that you can keep your relationship with Kian a secret, and I promise you will not hear anything from me regarding it," she promised, which only added to my confusion.Listening to her remarks perplexed me; it seemed inconceivable that Annie, the Annie I knew so well, could keep such lies and betrayals. I couldn't understand how she could overlook lies and infidelity, especially when it concerned someone she admired and cared about, and I knew for a fact that she saw Zion as their savior.From how she fidgeted, I could tell that something
The Alpha's Reluctant Bride CHAPTER 74: No More Secrets
-=Martina's Point of View=-I didn't know exactly how I managed to return to my room, but when I snapped out of my reverie, I realized I was back in my room.A deep sigh escaped my lips after I remembered what happened. I was already determined to tell Zion the truth, and yet, of all the time in the world, why did he have to leave the island without even telling me?I needed to reprimand myself, however, when I remembered that Zion left because he needed to see his doctor, which meant that he might be experiencing something serious, and with that in mind, my heart was filled with so much worry for him.I forgot to ask Zeke about Zion's condition and who was with him when he left. Again, I felt guilty for not being with him. I wanted to accompany him to make sure that he was alright, but at the same time, I couldn't bear to leave the island because of Kian.Thinking of Kian added to my grief and anguish. I felt like I had failed him, and my heart was filled with guilt once more.I was
