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
Gabriel still acted cold, although he kept pampering Eva by buying her needs. Meanwhile, Eva obeyed by staying quiet to take the stuff, or her boss might get angry. After almost all day of shopping, Gabriel took Eva's bEvao to the office. While in the car, he did not talk for nearly 30 minutes."Tomorrow, you have to use everything I bought you today," Gabriel commanded, as usual. Eva was still quiet and did not respond."Why didn't you answer me?" Eva was slightly startled and turned to glance at Gabriel."Yes, Sir." Gabriel sighed and then threw his sight outside of the car. Eva was so cold to him, and it made Gabriel mad somehow. He had to find a way to attract her in some other ways. Compared to other women, Eva seemed unexcited about shopping. She didn't even smile or happily squeak like it was supposed to be."What should I do now?" Gabriel asked his mind.Once they arrived at the lobby, there was more discussion about them. Gabriel was on the side of being unable to force Eva t
Eva was shocked to hear such an offer from Gabriel. Wasn't she signing the contract? What was it now?"Sir, I already had my contract. What is this?" Perplexed, Eva asked, "What is this?" Gabriel kept his cold demeanour and prepared for her responses instead."Your job contracts. I renew it, so you must re-sign it." Gabriel briefly explained. Eva shook her head to reject the idea. She had read all the clauses, and one party's termination or breaking of the contract was breaking the rule."You cannot terminate it and ask me to re-sign. It'll breach the contract." Eva slightly raised her soft tone towards Gabriel. Her innocent squick made Gabriel feel the desire rush through his back. When she did something that opposed Gabriel, it aroused a passionate desire inside him. He wanted to tear her clothes, then bend her on his table, roaming her with all the passion to the peak like no tomorrow."I don't care. You are my employee, so you must obey me as your boss. What's the big deal? Just s
"Please, let me go," Eva slightly murmured, then pushed Gabriel. Gabriel clutched loosen up when he stared at Eva in disbelief. He couldn't accept that Eva did not want his money."I'll pay you 50 grand now if you sign the paper. Cash!" He emphasized that he still refused to give up."Save your money, sir. If you force me to sign, I will quit your company and send you my resignation letter tomorrow. I will also send our discussion recording to the police so they can arrest you. I'm not afraid of you!" said Eva confidently. Although the shivers still ran down her spine, she didn't care. She fiercely faces Gabriel with all the courage that Luna should have.Gabriel is stunned at his place. His anger evaporated in the air for some reason; he didn't want to hurt her like he had planned. Meanwhile, Cheyne and Ethan stayed silent and kept their gazes on Gabriel to wait for his response."Fine, don't quit, and I will not force you to sign the paper. But you have to stay as my executive secre
"This can't be good." Bryan murmured as he witnessed Eva being pulled by Jasper Kent to his car. Initially, Bryan left a few seconds ago but reversed the car back a few yards. Therefore, he can see Jasper Kent pulling Eva. Bryan was going after to find an alternative to tag Kent's car. He has to protect Eva whenever it might seem dangerous for her."What do you want to eat for dinner?" Jasper asked Eva. Eva glanced at him and shook her head."Nothing; I'm not hungry." She reasoned, then lowered her head instead."But this is dinner time. You must be hungry." Jasper insists on his offer. His Beta, Everest, was driving the car while Jasper and Eva sat in the back seat."Not really," Eva murmured. She didn't feel comfortable with Jasper now. Something different about him distanced her feeling somehow."I'm hungry, and I want you to eat with me." Eva chose to stay quiet and sat beside Jasper calmly.The car arrived at one of the finest restaurants in town─ Novecento, which Jasper has rese
Cheyne was shoved far away until he returned to human form, and Jasper saw it. He also transformed into a human after crashing a building's wall and causing its destruction. If Cheyne were human, he would be dead. However, Jasper, panting in pain, didn't want to give up. He woke up limping. Jasper saw Cheyne, who still couldn't wake up."Fuck!" Jasper cursed. His gun fell off somewhere. But he could still beat Cheyne.Cheyne muttered grumpily at the god, "Oh, Moon Goddess, my body hurts." He gasped to catch his breath before turning his head and seeing Jasper heading towards him. Jasper grabbed Cheyne, beating him badly."I'll kill you, Rouge! You fucking mudblood!" Jasper cursed at Cheyne, then hit him in the face. Cheyne shouted, then pushed Jasper with his remaining power. He didn't want to give up on someone who had denigrated his blood."Bastard, I'm not a mudblood!" Cheyne screamed angrily and then tried to get up. His face was bruised and bleeding, but Cheyne wouldn't give up.
Eva instantly screamed in panic when she realized she was outside. The cold wind blew Eva's hair, making her terrified. It was even more dangerous when she screamed and the rope broke."Shit!" Gabriel cursed when Jasper shot the rope. It was lifting Eva. His hand quickly caught one of the ropes, so Eva didn't have time to fall. Eva's situation has now reversed, with her face pointing downwards towards the ground. Also, Eva could not move due to her bondage all over the blanket on her body. Gabriel wrapped her like a mummy."Ah, help me!" Eva screamed fearly.Jasper was so mad now. He attempted to keep firing his bullets at Gabriel to kill him. Cheyne quickly responded by running out of the rooftop door. Bryan and two Levantines helped him pull Eva up quickly."Pull her up! quickly!" Bryan screamed and used all his strength to pull Eva with the remaining yarn. Gabriel was still holding Eva's rope with one hand. He couldn't return Jasper's shot. Now, he was targeting him. Gabriel tried
As a professional climber, Bryan did his job very well with rope. He climbed down from one of the balconies to reach his target. Gabriel cuts the glass of a big window to take Eva through it. Cheyne and his Levantine team worked together to complete the mission."He sedated her," Gabriel murmured to Bryan from the window. Bryan nodded understandingly. He hung on to the rope, then gave the man above him a code. To get through it, Gabriel pulled Bryan's hand from the window."We must protect her. "Let's roll her in the blanket," Gabriel said to Bryan."Yes, Alpha. I'll take the rope then." Bryan retrieved a roll of rope from his backpack. He prepared everything to send the precious package to a safer place."Hurry!" Gabriel hissed at Bryan to roll the rope all over Eva's body. He has put on a thick blanket to protect her from the glass and wind. Both of them used earbuds to communicate during the mission. Cheyne was in charge of the mission and communicated his progress to Gabriel to en
Everest Stone walked past some guards and smiled at them. He walked in after one of the lambdas opened the door for him. The luxury apartment belongs to Jasper Kent. As Beta, Everest still has access to it. Only this time, he didn't enter through the private elevator but through the front door.“Beta, have you arrived? Alpha is calling you," said one of the Gammas. Everest nodded and then followed him into one of the rooms.Jasper Kent was neat in a black tuxedo with a bodyguard helping him. He turned to the door as Everest entered."You come?" Jasper still sounded cynical at Everest's arrival. They had not spoken for days before. Everest approached slowly with a calmer expression.“Alpha, I came to explain everything that happened to you. What you hear is not the truth. Gabriel Xander has tricked you," said Everest politely. Jasper then gave his guards a code to leave them. He then approached and stood in front of Everest.“How can I trust you again, Everest?” Jasper stood arrogantly
"You're setting me up, Rouge!" Everest angrily blamed Cheyne by pointing a gun at him. Cheyne chuckled derisively. His gaze was fixed on Everest, unblinking. He hated it when someone like Everest called him a Rouge. He felt offended. Although Cheyne was a Rouge before, he is now as honorable as the other purebloods in their pack."I don't care what you think. I'm just trying to help you. If I reject it, I'll just tell Jasper Kent about you and your movements. He will soon come to kill you disgracefully. How about it?" Cheyne replied fiercely, yet he was still smiling. Everest doesn't seem calm at all. He was aware of Jasper Kent's superiority. The insurrectionary movement would only have achieved results if it had sought more excellent assistance. Even his father couldn't help.Everest lowered his gun, but he was still standing before Cheyne. He must be able to think of appropriate advantages that he can exploit."Tell me what you want." Cheyne nodded, smiled, and snorted softly, then
Eva frowned when she realized the car that had picked her up had stopped. Eva glanced around, unable to recognize the location. Jasper, who was the driver, then turned around and smiled. Eva was shocked to see that Jasper was driving the car.“How could you?” Eva's words choked. She didn't think that Jasper could kidnap her again.“Come on down. We have to talk," said Jasper, still calm. He smiled but looked threatening. Eva still hasn't moved. Jasper turned around again and asked Eva to obey.“Don't make me say it twice,” Jasper warned her. Eva glanced at the unlocked door next to her. This was her chance to escape. Without thinking, Eva opened it quickly and was about to run. However, someone promptly stood before her, bumping her into the floor."Ahk!" Eva yelled in pain. Jasper came out casually, bent slightly and pulled Eva's arm quite hard. He dragged Eva with him into an elevator."Ahk, let me go!" Eva tried to fight back by pushing Jasper's arm but to no avail. Jasper's grip w
"I've asked someone to drive you home, Miss Alexander. You can go home early to rest," said Ethan, kindly smiling. Eva also smiled and nodded."What about Mr. Xander?" Eva is still curious about Gabriel. Ethan raised the corners of his lips, then shook his head slightly."Let me talk to him. I think he's gone into his room."Eva took a deeper breath and nodded. He walked out of the CEO's room. Eva prepared to go home after getting permission from Ethan. He passed through the corridor to the president's director's office and stopped to stare at it. She thought for a moment before she continued her way to the elevator.In his room, Ethan confirmed that the Zetas would take Eva back home. Eva had gone down to the lobby and walked alone. The Zeta was supposed to escort Eva. Unfortunately, he didn't notice her exiting the main door. He was talking to Ethan, who was giving instructions."Yes, Mr. Stevenson. I'm waiting for Miss Alexander in the lobby."A car then stopped in front of Eva, wh
"Is it true that you have tied yourself to Jasper Kent?" Gabriel asked, holding back the irritation inside. Eva was still catching her breath. She was shocked after Gabriel squeezed her wrist. Hence, hearing the question drove her upset. She straightened her back with her eyes fixed intently at Gabriel. Eva seemed disappointed by his question.“I never wanted any of this. I hate you and Jasper. You're all the same. You both hurt me.” Eva suddenly shouted at Gabriel. Gabriel was shocked to see Eva's bold behavior toward him. Eva appeared to be at the height of her anger over the unfolding situation. She even shed tears as she yelled at Gabriel.“So you hate me? You are a liar, Eva!” Gabriel replied with a growl. Cheyne let out a long sigh of aggravation. Gabriel is too upset and jealous to respond to Eva's distressed feelings. He cornered Eva like the wrong person.“I don't want to see you again. Leave me alone!” Eva yelled back to Gabriel to get out of the CEO's room. Ethan tried to i
Gabriel chuckled sarcastically and shook his head in disbelief at the lie that Jasper was telling him now. Meanwhile, Eva was stunned and didn't understand. She gasped faster at Jasper's confession."What other lies are you telling, Kent? Aren't you deterred?" Gabriel mocked plainly. Jasper instead responded by laughing loudly. He seemed to be taunting Gabriel with his posture. His hands were on his hips, and Jasper continued to laugh.Cheyne and Ethan even looked tense at Jasper, who was acting absurdly. They glanced at each other and then looked back at Jasper. This time, Cheye prepared to drag Jasper out of the room."She didn't tell you, did she? I've decided I'm going to imprint her." Jasper spoke again. He mocked Gabriel. His mark on his Luna would soon gone. Even if she lived with him, Jasper was sure Eva would have rejected Gabriel.Meanwhile, Gabriel started to look anxious. He turned to Eva, who shook her head slightly, rejecting everything Jasper had said. However, Jasper w
