When Gabriel heard that Eva wanted to quit her job and leave his company, his wrath rang. He strolled hastily to the room, disregarding the caution from his Gammas.
"Alpha, wait!"
"You will never step away from this room whatsoever! I will never let you go anywhere to run, Eva. You are mine!" Gabriel growled and half-yelled at Eva while pointing at her. Eva is shocked to her core and getting paler. She could not breathe and was scared so much. Cheyne stopped Gabriel from doing something that might kill Eva instead.
"Alpha, please. You scared her." Cheyne put his hands on Gabriel's chest to keep him from moving forward. Bryan and Adam also came to restrain Gabriel.
"I am your Alpha, so you must obey me!" Gabriel yelled more. His golden eyes almost turn to crimson when the rage is peaking. It was not a good sign at all.
"Please, let me go. I want to leave." Eva was crying and tried to stand. While enduring her pain, she attempted to run from the room
"Hey, is Eva's home?" asked Jasper once he saw Emilia at the door. He put up a smile for Emilia. Meanwhile, Eva was stunned to see Jasper's appearance in a formal suit, like an executive businessman's."No, she's not coming home yet," Emilia answered after a few seconds. Jasper started to frown and stepped closer. Emilia let him go inside so they could talk."Where's she?""She's working now." Jasper slightly opened his mouth before nodding. He just recalled that Eva had got a job with a company."So, she starts working. May I know what company?" Jasper asked for more. Emilia slightly frowned at her forehead and hesitated to answer. She felt a bit suspicious of Jasper when she saw his appearance."You look different today!" Emilia turned their topic into something else. She tried to buy the time. Jasper chuckled oddly and nodded."Uhm, you must be odd to see me like this. Don't worry, I'm just a staff at an insurance company," Jasper lied mischievously. Meanwhile, Emilia scrutinized h
Although she feared Gabriel, Eva was forced to sit back in her chair. Gabriel could barely control himself because Eva wanted to leave his company, and he couldn't fully concentrate on his work anymore. When Eva opened one of the documents with trembling hands, Gabriel quickly got up and left without saying anything. Eva stopped, stunned to see Gabriel's back disappearing behind the door."Huff, it's a good thing he's gone. Oh, God. Help me; I don't want to die," Eva said breathlessly. He let go of the heavy breath and the burden on his shoulders. Eva needed time to calm down. Even lunchtime didn't make her hungry anymore. Her thumping heart was still beating fast with trembling hands that wouldn't go away at all.Suddenly, someone opened the door. One of the men who had blocked Gabriel before came in. Bryan Hunter smiled at Eva, who looked up slightly and was stunned to see him. He brought a cup of chamomile tea for Eva."I brought you a drink, Miss Alexander. It's a chamomile tea,"
"I cannot take that, Mr. Ludacris. Why do I have a bodyguard? I don't need it." Eva half-shrieked. She widened her eyes, yet Cheyne was keeping his smile instead."Ms. Alexander, your job now is to help and take care of our President, Gabriel Xander. That's one of the highest-ranking positions for this company. So we think you are going to need a bodyguard. I'll ensure you'll guard for 24 hours, seven days a week." Cheyne explained more. Eva was stunned, with her mouth slightly open."I think that's too much. I don't want to be pestered.""We won't disturb you. Your bodyguard only comes to pick you up every day and escorts you home. How about that?" Eva still frowned at something she did not want to approve."Why do you have to do this?" Eva kept questioning things."It's the order of Mr. Xander. He wants to keep you saved." Cheyne gave a reasonable reason."He almost clutched me to death. I don't want to die," Eva replied, her remaining fear in her eyes. Cheyne nodded understandingly
"Oh, my baby!" Eva hugged Cody immediately as she closed the front door. "Mommy!" Cody immediately ran to his mother. Eva burst into tears suddenly as she hugged her little prince. She didn't realize that her sobs had attracted Emilia's attention."Eve, why are you crying?" Emilia asked in a worried tone. She came over to Eva, who was still hugging Cody tightly. Emilia became increasingly concerned because Eva didn't answer at all. She stroked Eva's hair before hugging her also. Eva cried even louder as if something had happened to her. Emilia then pulled him to one of the couches to question her."Tell me what happened." Emilia asked Eva, who also put Cody on her lap."I can't tell you now," Eva glanced at Cody as a sign to Emilia that they could only talk privately. Emilia nodded in understanding and let Eva hug Cody for a few moments. After calming down, Eva released her hug from Cody. She still carried Cody and took him to the room.In the bathroom, Eva saw some bruises from Gabri
Evangeline looked so worried while running her fingers on her lap. She was now on her way to the bus station. Emilia and Eva decided to run to go back to Los Angeles instead of facing the new boss. Emilia then glanced at Eva's sad face, who seemed lost in her thoughts."Are you okay?" asked Emilia, touching Eva's arm slightly. Cody was on Eva's lap, and he was so calm. Eva was startled and looked at Emilia."Nothing!" she's half shouting to Emilia. Emilia frowned to see Eva, who looked so terrified of something. Eva quickly glanced to the back of the cab to ensure that Gabriel's men were not looking for her."Eva, you should calm down," Emilia tried to say."I can't. I can't do this!" Eva exclaimed, "I can't do this!" Emilia frowns so much now. It seemed that Eva hesitated to leave the job because of her fear."Eva, we still have time to go back to LA." Eva shook her head quickly."No, I don't think I can do this. He will hunt us. I mean, he has the power even to kill us. I don't want
Everest met Jasper in his office early in the morning to tell him about Evangeline Alexander. Jasper arrived a few minutes ago and is still enjoying his morning coffee."I found some information about recent worker recruitments from some companies. When I examined it, Xander Enterprise was one of them. The company accepted more than 50 staff members to the project," Everest briefly explained before giving Jasper the document. Jasper took the paper and read it with a frown on his forehead."Do they report to the union?" Jasper asked while his eyes were still on the paper."No. Xander is the only company that has not yet reported to the worker union. So we can't trace Ms. Alexander." Jasper kept frowning more."Why?""Because most probably Ms. Alexander is taking one of the positions at Xander Enterprise." Jasper read all the names of new employees from the union, but Eva was missing from the list."Her friend said that she took a job and received an email about it when she was with me.
Gabriel's car and his men were leaving right when Jasper Kent's car arrived in a few seconds. Jasper left his car and didn't recognize that Eva had left with Gabriel. He and his beta, Everest, walked through Xander Enterprise's main lobby before getting to the elevator. One of the receptionists saw them and quickly reported it to their CEO, Ethan Stevenson."Excuse me. You are not allowed to be here, Mr. Kent." Jasper stopped when Ethan's voice roamed behind him. He turned to see Ethan walking along with some members of Black Canis. Jasper assumed they were just some Epsilons."Oh, the CEO is here. I'm glad. I want to see your boss. Is he inside?" Jasper did not care about the warning on his first visit to the company. He arrogantly defied Ethan by asking about Gabriel."No. He's leaving some for some business." Ethan answered with a stern look and tone. Jasper slightly smirked, then glanced at a room—the working room of the executive secretary."This is a good and lavish building to
Gabriel sat in the dressing room with one leg folded above his knee. He waited for Eva to come out wearing some of the clothes she was trying on. When she came out, Gabriel looked at Eva's stunning beauty from head to toe."Give me an elegant and beautiful appearance," Gabriel said as he ordered. The boutique manager nodded politely and carried out Gabriel's orders. Eva went out several times to change clothes. She walked in front of Gabriel like a model, but Stiff, as a board, strode toward Gabriel."Did you like it?" Gabriel asked for Eva's clothes. Eva nodded after taking stock of her physique. For Gabriel, all it took was a simple sign to indicate agreement. The way Gabriel acted stunned Eva. Why did he even buy clothes for Eva?"Anything he touches, I will purchase." Gabriel gave another command. After giving Gabriel his instructions, the manager nodded and returned to their work. Meanwhile, Eva's confusion grew even more profound. Finally, she had to change into one of the cloth
