“Phew.” I breathed out in relief as I relaxed in my armchair. My lovers were out at a business meeting, giving me some minutes to myself. This was the first meeting they had gone to since they joined the company officially as their CEO, and I was the one who forced them to go. I needed some moments to myself, without having them breathing down my neck every chance they got. I checked the time on my wristwatch, smiling when I realized I had two hours before their return. It would be enough to rest my limbs and think of the future. Having accepted them as my lovers and gone public about it. Oh, I forgot to mention it. Someone from the office thought it would make a headline and posted my story on the firm's page. And by someone, I mean Chris. She wasn't wrong about making headlines because it did. I was livid about it because she didn't tell me. I was worried my lovers wouldn't want it, since they said nothing about a forever thing. And by forever, I don't mean screwing them whenever
IMELDAThat fucking bitch! I gritted my teeth as I watched Bella conversing with her best friend. Looking at her, I had this compulsion to march over to her side and force her head down on the table. I had to keep the urge to myself, knowing it was only a matter of time before I got rid of her if what that man said was the truth. He asked me to make friends with her, to get her to trust me, so she would go with me to the place he designed.So far, I have gotten her to trust my sincerity. She seemed to have forgotten the things I did to her, something I didn't think was possible. Bella was such a gullible lady. Sighing, I got up from my chair and walked over to them, forcing a smile on my face. “How are you doing, girl?” I sat on the empty chair next to her. She looked up, shocked at first, but smiled when she noticed I was the one. “I'm good. I was just about to call you.”“I guess our minds work together.” I grinned at her before I turned to Chris, who was giving me the death gl
BELLA“Why don't you have lunch with us today?” Blue asked as he walked over to my side and stood behind me. He didn't touch me, but I could feel his presence, like a heavy blanket behind me. "We've missed eating out with you." “I'm sorry, I can't.” I turned to face him. “Why don't we have lunch together, tomorrow? I will be free then.” I smiled at him. “Why not today? Where are you going?” Fred came over to stand next to Blue. “We haven't had lunch together since you returned to the office. Why can't you make out some time alone for us?”“Because I can't.”“You can't? Or you don't want to?” Blue furrowed his brows, looking like he was trying to understand me. “I can't. I promised someone that we would have lunch alone today,” I explained, hoping they would get me.“Imelda?” Fred scowled. “Yup.”“Why are you so stubborn, Bunny?” Blue peered down at me. “Haven't we told you not to —”“She's not as bad as you made her seem. She's a good person.” I placed my right hand on his che
True to her words, the friend she spoke of arrived five minutes later. The moment the black Audi stopped next to us, Imelda approached it, while I craned my neck, trying to see the driver. A puzzled frown graced my face when I noticed how he covered his face. The face cap he had on concealed the little his face mask couldn't close.Why did he cover his face?I wondered, gaping at him like a fool.Imelda turned when she noticed my stare. “Oh, pardon him for this. He has a cold and is afraid of spreading it. I hope you don't mind?" "Oh, it's alright." Nodding, I continued to look at him. Oddly enough, I felt like I had seen him somewhere. Though I couldn't see his face, there was this familiarity I sensed from him. “Bella?” Imelda waved her right palm across my face, smiling. “You are staring.”My cheeks turned blood-red at her words when I realized I was intent on gawking at the man. “Sorry.” I tucked some loose strands of hair behind my right ear, gulping. “I just.....”“It's oka
I didn't get a reply until I called out for the third time. I heard a groan before the door opened. "Impossible," I whispered when the person on the side stepped in. I gaped at him, trying to tell myself I made it all up. “No, it can't be possible.” I shook my head, wondering if my brain conjured him. “You are…”“Still alive?” He helped me complete my statement, grinning. “Are you that shocked to see me alive and well? You don't have to be, though.” He strode towards me, smirking. “We meet again, Bella?”“I was right,” I whispered, staring at him. “I knew I had met you before. Even though you covered your face, I knew you weren't a stranger. Your eyes are different." He chuckled at that. “Thanks a lot for the compliment, Bella. I appreciate.”Just like the first time I saw him, weeks ago, I was enamoured by his tone and eyes. Everything about him screamed gorgeous, similar to the werewolves I had seen so far.“How are you still alive?” I wondered aloud, snapping out of the path my
“What are you doing with that?” I stared at the syringe. “What do you propose to do with it?” I glared at him, trying not to panic. “What do you think I intend to do with it?” He grinned, looking amused as he leaned towards me. “Do you know how long I have planned this? Ever since they destroyed my doppelgänger, thinking I was the one.” He chuckled. “It's fun to play with them.”“Fun to play with them? Look, guy, if you have any problems with them, you can talk it out with either of them or one. Why will you drag me into a feud I didn't cause?” “Why?” He squatted in front of me and placed his right hand on my left thigh. “No one is dragging you into this, darling. You entered the game yourself.”“What?”He didn't respond as he got to his feet and flicked the syringe, grinning. “I don't know the side effects of this, but I know what I want it to do.”My heart jumped into my throat as he brought the syringe forward. I gulped, trying to come up with something. I knew I had to stop
FREDI watched the door furrowing my brows as I turned my attention towards Blue. “Why do you think she's pissed?”“I dunno.” Blue lifted his shoulders in a shrug, showing how defeated he felt. “Perhaps, she believes we don't trust her judgement. She thinks we are treating her like a kid.”“But are we?”He turned sharply at my question, narrowing his eyes to slits. “Ask yourself that.” Fuming, he walked over to her chair and plopped down. “Let's just give her some time.”“I see.” Nodding, I got up on the desk, still observing him. “Aren't you worried about her?”“And?”“Let's follow her,” I suggested, hoping he would jump at that. “We don't have to let her see us. We will just trail after her in the shadows, to keep her safe.” “Safe?” He scoffed. “Do you think she will understand it as that?” He exhaled. “But that's what we are doing!” I argued, knowing he was right. Our Bunny would assume we were monitoring her should she discover we followed her. Things wouldn't go in our favo
BELLAI can't tell when I slept off, but by the time I woke up, I felt different. Light. Strange. My body appeared as if it weren't mine. I had to sit still for a moment before I recalled where I was and why I was at this place instead of my home."Fuck that man,” I growled in a hoarse voice. My throat hurts from all the yelling I did, and I knew I would pay dearly for this tomorrow. Sighing, I closed my eyes and leaned back in the chair, thinking of how to get out of my predicament. I didn't think about the medicine in my system. It seemed the only thing it was good at was just to irritate me when it was injected. That was all. As I sat on the armchair, I didn't let my thoughts drift towards my lovers because I was ashamed. I always prided myself on how wise I was, but in this case, I acted like a fool. A damned freaking one. If only I had…No, it's not time to regret my actions. I had already taken the step, and it didn't work. All I needed at the moment was a means to get out of
