THOMAS POVI taken off the hoodie earlier and the nose mask as well, so that she would not figure out that I was actually the guy that she had met at the elevator though I doubt that she would have been embarrassed by that but then it would have brought to me as to why I was following her down the elevator and pretending to be someone else.The plan was very simple right now and it would remain simple as long as she did not bring any unnecessary complications into it. I would allow her to believe her delusions a little better. It's not as if I could convince her to do otherwise.As I lived with her on the bed it was as if I was lying down with 1000 cockroaches and after thinking about it, I saw that that would have been a more preferable situation than this.I kept my calm and even moved my hand to stroke her hair.Her hair was so rough it was as if I was stroking a rock by the ocean. But I kept a smile on my face making sure that she did not know how irritated I was doing all of this
BRENDA POV“ Is that how you wanted to end up here? Did that bastard also sell you off to the dark market when he saw that you were resisting his rule?”I asked Stacy as I adjusted my sitting position for the fifth time in the last 10 minutes and she was speaking time did not even seem to pass as she was speaking because I was so focused on what she was saying and at the same time it seem to fly so quickly because I was also so invested in what she was saying but she shook her head affirming that what I had said was actually not correct.“He wasn't able to sell me because I escaped...”I was surprised that Stacy must be stronger than how I saw her if she was able to escape a situation where the entire pack was kept on lockdown.“Stacy must be very strong to have been able to get out of that situation when so many people would have not even taken the risk.”She blinked her eyelids with surprise. This could not mean something bad right then she let out a little laughter. It did not even
THOMAS POV“Baby I don't see why you are so upset... eventually we were going to announce our relationship to the whole kingdom...”This was how Jessica kept bubbling in my ears while I was trying to think of a plan as I was walking, alright then so she had kind of eliminated the whole point of having her here in the first place with what she had done .If it wasn't for the fact that I saw her as an easy link into getting into the dark market without drawing out the fact that I was the prince and blowing my whole cover I would have just left her to whatever would happen to her in this resort.But because of that sole reason I would have to think of a way to use this to my advantage just like how I was taking advantage of the fact that she was a member of the dark market.When we finally came to my room I came over to the couch and she soon joined me putting her hands on my lap and giving me the rush to throw them off which I immediately did.“If you really care about me, Jessica, you
THOMAS POVI had already prepared my look of complete shock before she said that as I allow my hands to Fall and then my eyeballs became so wide that it looked as if they were going to pop out of my sockets then I kept my mouth open and agape as if I was still recovering from the shock of hearing what I just heard from her.“I know what you are thinking my dear, that the dark market is some kind of sinister place but the truth is that it is just like any other market, when you get there you are able to find the goods you want and buy and you can also sell as well...”I was really going to throw up because of this woman , look at the way she was shamelessly defending The dark market, trying to sugarcoat what they do and feeding me these lies with that ever plastic smile that was always hanging on her face and giving me unnecessary shivers of cold.I was always very careful around her. It would have been far too suspicious if I had just jumped on the idea of getting involved with the da
THOMAS POV“Baby why did you just send anyway there's a better punishment you could have given them did you see what that b**** did to me?”I was rubbing my fingers on my forehead so that I would not run mad because of all this woman's constant and endless blabbing. I had thought that she was actually unbearable before but this was something else.Since attitude and his wife had left after causing a big scene a few minutes ago she had not allowed me to drink a cup and put it back where I had taken it from saying that I have to punish them severely for what they have done to her.“baby can you see my face it's awful terrible a complete disaster how dare they do something to me and after insulting me as well you have to teach them a good lesson she kept one thing over and over and over again so I thought that I was going to run mad on the spot finally I got up grabbed her by her shoulders and shoved her into the couch to sit down.” Look, didn't you know this is part of being queen? A l
BRENDA'S POV“Something far more sinister?” She repeated after me as she relaxed her body a bit, resting her back gradually on the wall that was a little less cold than the ground that we were sitting on but still very cold.“I don't understand Brenda but could it even be worse than this?"The idea weight heavily in my mind and I wondered if it was what depriving the girl in front of me the little sense of relief that she had behaviour thinking that the worst part that waited her was just being slave, though as someone that has lived through that I knew that was just a life for a living corpse.” Brenda... Brenda!“a voice came over to me breaking me from my bed of thoughts as she shook me by my shoulder.” oh I'm sorry I just think that what I'm having is a crazy idea it might not even be any good don't worry...“However she shook her head insisting that she wanted to know what I had to say.” Brenda in a place like this we can't keep secrets from each other and it's not as if either
BRENDA'S POVThere was so much that I wanted to know from Stacy. We had never really gotten to the point of her story when she was sold to the dark market but unfortunately there was a chance that I would never get to hear the rest of her story and see how the rest of my pack was doing.The people in the cell began to panic as the collector walked into the huge cell, and then after a few moments he picked up a lanky boy then before I knew it he was heading towards Stacy as well, her face seem to be totally void of color as she looked at me, the poor thing had already been through so much that if she was taken now.I had forgotten how she told me that this place worked with this regular selections but the best case scenario was that he was going to be sold like a slave, THAT was the best case scenario my heart was moved for her and so I decided to attack the person that was coming to get her.I threw a punch at him, my hand feeling as heavy as lead as it landed against the wall. Well,
THOMAS POV“I couldn’t stop staring at Brenda, I just hope she doesn’t notice it’s me.” I looked around the place and adjusted my mask.Though I am on mask I don’t think she’ll be able to recognize me here. I faced front and tried not to look at where she was standing.I finally summoned the courage to look at the direction she was standing at but I was shocked to see she was no longer standing there.“Where did they take Brenda to?” I asked myself, I almost took off my mask When I realized I’ll be severely punished if I do a thing like that. I had to act normal and pretend like I am not searching for anyone.I moved from where I was standing to another direction trying to find out where she is.“Was she taken back to the cell?” I asked myself after looking around.“Prince do you have anything to say.” I was shocked when I heard this question. I looked around and I noticed everyone’s attention was now on me.I had to move forward and address everyone, the moment I climbed up I sighted
THOMAS POV"It has not gotten to the point where you seem to be screaming at me, I am in a better position to be screaming at you, if there is anyone to be screaming at, it is definitely going to be me and not you." She said to him with a very angry tone, the fact that he shouted at her really went to her."Ok I am sorry! You know I am not always like this, the reason why I Shouted at you was because I felt that it was the only way I could make you calm down, you know that I am not always like this? " He explains to her the reason why he acted and shouted at her that way."Ok, now that you've gotten the best part of me it isn't just wise for you to leave like that, at least give me an explanation for my dilemma." I said to him at the bikini bootcamp it seems like he's about to tell her something she doesn't know.I never wanted to tell you this because I know you will take it the wrong way, I wanted you to just figure it out yourself rather than me telling it to you, I know and I unde
JESSICA POV"I hope it isn't what I'm thinking, I hope you haven't started developing feelings for her?" I haave been as he couldn't look at her straight in the eye,He stared at the ground as he placed his hands in his pocket."What do you mean by that? what are you thinking?" He asked her trying to cover everything up, he doesn't want her to move into the aspect, he knows that if she continues pressuring him he could let the secret out from his mouth."That's what I'm talking about, exactly what I've been trying to say?" She said to him as she pointed to his eyes, in his chest, coming very close to him, I'm talking directly into his mouth."I can see it in your eyes, you're hiding something, you're having something to do with her and you are keeping it a secret from me?" She said to him as he gave her an uncertain reaction, he tried his best stronging his face, so that she would not be able to be true intentions by observing his facial reactions."Why are you disturbing yourself? wh
THOMAS POVWhile I was telling her the story she couldn't stop laughing. She laughed so hard that I felt some kind of relief, I always hate myself for what I made her go through so seeing her laugh this hard maee me very happy."And that was how the whole thing ended." I said to her when I was done with the story. Brenda started coughing because of how hard she laughed. I stood up immediately and rushed downstairs to get her water. The moment I got back to the room I handed the water back to her."Thank you." She said to me with a smile on her face when I handed the water to her. She drank the water, when she was done she stopped coughing."That was a very nice one, he thinks he is smart? He met the best Alpha and prince any pack will want to have." When she said this I was calm.I remembered the day this case ended Jessica didn't tell me anything instead she praised just the Alpha.It's been a while since I got such accolades from a person. Everything Brenda does makes me love her the
THOMAS POVI decided to go into Brenda's room so we can talk because ever since she got out we have not been able to talk very well.I also want to inform her about Jessica and how dangerous she can be so that she will be careful around her."This is so awkward." I said to myself when Brenda asked what I was doing in her room. She looked really upset and I was wondering if it's my presence that's making her so upset or there is another reason."Why do you look so upset?" I asked her so I'll know if I am the cause of her angry mood or something else is making her unhappy."Jessica was here a few minutes ago." Brenda said to me with a sad look on her face I was now sure of the reason why she was frowning when I walked into the room."What did she say to you?" I asked, so that I can be sure of what she said to her and know what to tell Brenda.Brenda was quiet; she did not reply to me the moment I asked a question. She was acting as if what Jessica told her is something that is so annoyin
BRENDA'S POVI was shocked when I realised me Thomas asked them to release me from the cell.It was something I never expected because I've already given up on him trying to save me from the mess I was going through, and I was patiently waiting for them to sell me to any Park that suits them.On getting released I heard that Thomas has already announced Jessica to be his mate. I don't know if I was heartbroken but I knew I wasn't happy when I heard the news, then I realised that was why he left me in the cell all these while.It is still like a dream to me but I have no other choice than to accept it and thank him for finally releasing me from the cell.He called me to his room earlier telling me that he has to pretend that he has feelings for me in front of Jessica, so that she can be brought back to her senses so I'm not happy with the idea but at least it will give me the opportunity to see him everyday."I am so confused." I said to myself, as I was thinking if what he was doing i
THOMAS POVI am only trying to bring Jessica back to her senses but I don’t know if I am doing the right thing anymore because the way she reacted after seeing Brenda I might be cooking a very big trouble while trying to set her straight.Though I have a feeling that after seeing Brenda she will be more interested in doing things that’ll please me and stop thinking of how to eliminate and punish Brenda.“I just hope I’m not making a mistake.” I said to myself while I was standing outside and continued walking out of the corridor.The moment I got to the sitting room I saw Brenda standing. She looked really beautiful after cleaning up herself and she even wore the dress I gave to her.I walked closer to her and unknowingly a smile escaped my lips.“You look clean now.” I said to her trying not to praise her beauty so it’ll not cause trouble between Jessica and I.Brenda lowered her head without a smile. “Thank you.” She said to me with her head low.“Have you eaten anything?” I asked h
JESSICA’S POV“So why are you here?” Mira asked me with a kind of look that didn’t seem nice. I just tried to overlook it so that I don’t start making up things in my head.I turned to look at her trying to figure out the reply I will give to her.“I need your help.” The moment I said this she sighed like she knew I was actually in her house because I needed her help.“You never came to see me all these months and now you are here to seek my help?” Mira said to me and started laughing, I wasn’t expecting her laughter so I was wondering why she is laughing all of a sudden instead of a sudden when I just said something that seems urgent to me.“Please I want you to…”“I can’t help you.” Mira said to me without hesitating. It felt like a needle pierced through my heart when I heard what she said, she sounded like she really meant what she was saying.“What are you saying? I’m your best friend and I need your help.” I said to her trying to emotionally blackmail her, but I have forgotten t
Writer’s POVJessica couldn’t believe her ears she was wondering if what Thomas said is true or he is just pulling her legs. She stood up from where she was sitting and walked to the front of Thomas.“You know I hate jokes, please don’t joke with me like that.” Jessica said to Thomas still trying to believe Thomas was lying to her. She looked at his face after talking patiently waiting to hear that he is actually joking with her.“I told you already I am not joking.” Thomas said to her trying to prove to her that he is really not joking with her. Jessica was shocked she was wondering what’s going on and why Thomas was suddenly trying to release Brenda.“What’s wrong? Why do you want to release her? She needs to be sold.” Jessica said to Thomas in a rather low tone. Thomas knew that Jessica feels threatened by the presence of Brenda so this is his only way of bringing Jessica back to her senses.“I want her here, and I have every right to release her.” Thomas said to Jessica in an almo
THOMAS POVThe moment I wanted to go close to the prison take a closer look at her I noticed she was standing from where she is sitting.I moved back immediately and watched her from afar. She walked forward and from the way she looked it’s obvious she was in deep thought.“Am I really going to be sold to another pack and be there as an Omega?” Brenda asked hersekf while she was in deep thoughts. She remembered how the others were sold and the fear of her being sold one day gripped her.“god please bring someone to save me from here.” Brenda said as a prayer, then she noticed the mosquitoes were already too much where she was standing, she moved back immediately and sat down where she was sitting earlier.I couldn’t watch her anymore in such situation so I had to walk away. What bothered me the most is the reason why she was taken to such dirty room, that particular place has been abandoned for a very long time.I walked back to the room. I opened the door slowly so that if I see Jess
