When I first entered this marriage, I had made a clear promise to Alexander that I would never interfere with his work. However, the mere thought of having him be taken away for some unknown business had me feeling like a child whose new toy was being taken away.“What is it?” Alexander asked with a
[Third-Person’s POV]Alexander felt himself teetering on the line of total insanity. Goddamnit! What the actual Hell?? How had he come so close to telling Evelyn the truth only to be snatched away, yet again?!It was as if life itself didn’t want him to get close to Evelyn—his own wife! He was fee
“What is it?” he asked tensely while trying to keep the venom out of his voice.“Finally,” Caroline huffed. He rolled his eyes and bit back a snide remark. “As I was telling your Beta, your brother is taking a short break from his studies.”Oliver watched with heavy caution as Alexander’s entire bod
[Evelyn’s POV]Something was clearly going on with Alexander.After such an amazing party where he and I were actually able to exchange real talk and share in each other’s emotions, I’d picked up on a strange sudden change in him.Considering we were in the middle of a conversation, I could have swo
“We were informed that Alexander's brother would be visiting.”I refrained myself from scowling. Was that it?For crying out loud, based on the way everyone had been acting, I would have guessed that we were hosting the Royal Family.“Really? All this insanity because Alexander’s brother is coming?”
[Evelyn’s POV]I opted for a simple light blue dress that went just past my knees and decided against any form of a heel. Aside from my ring, I chose a pair of silver hoop earrings and a simple silver chain necklace to tie it all in.Unlike the rest of the house which was currently making a big deal
[Third-Person’s POV]There were a number of things Alexander couldn’t even begin to fathom the second Evelyn had entered the dining room. Why on earth her gaze had locked on to Michael for an overly suspicious amount of time? And why the hell had she proceeded to give him, what he considered to be,
[Third-Person’s POV]Michael was seething.He was certain that fate was nothing but a cruel, cold bitch with a dark sense of humor.He knew rushing out of the dining room in such a brutish manner was not the best look for him. But as his patience and self-restraint were slipping away quicker by the
It wasn’t long before I felt a dreadful feeling of someone watching from within the shadows of the room. My heart slammed violently against my rib cage as I dared to glance over my shoulder. I squinted my eyes and saw the frightening sight of someone emerging from the darkness.Isabella.I fought ba
[Evelyn’s POV]I couldn’t fathom how Michael managed to see through Alexander’s plan, much less how he managed to find me here.It felt as though I was being backed further into a corner with nowhere to turn to. It was bad enough that I had to consistently watch out for Isabella, why on earth was I
Having spoken to one of the managers at the junkyard, the two of them were directed to a nearby mechanic shop. At first, neither of them understood the relevance of taking the trip over there. However, the old man was rather insistent on the matter.“Trust me,” he’d said. “The answers you’re looking
[Third-Person’s POV]Unlike her husband, Isabella was well aware of the situation that was unfolding in front of all of them. She didn’t know who this Michael character was, nor did she really care. But ever since Evelyn showed up and began derailing her plans to get rid of Edward, she’d been lookin
[Evelyn’s POV]“Are you sure you’ll be alright by yourself?” Wendy asked for the third time.I tried to put on the most realistic-looking smile I could muster.“I promise, I’ll be fine,” I told her. “Don’t worry about me, okay? I’ll be busy taking care of Edward and chances are that no one will even
Michael tried to hold back a spiteful sneer. Surely, they all knew that he’d be filling in for Alexander for a little while. That being the case, why weren’t they showing the proper consideration for his respected title?Well, it’s obvious that the first thing I’m going to need to do as Alpha is tea
[Third-Person’s POV]Michael was a man who felt like he’d just hit the lottery.The morning he was due to head to Kingston Manor, he did it with the most energy he’d felt in months. Hell, he was practically buzzing with eagerness. He couldn’t wait to step into his role as Alpha.Even if it was only
A gentle smile curved her lips. “I bet she had no belief that the two of you would have made your marriage work out in the end,” she said with a smug tugging at the corner of her mouth.“You can best believe that,” I said with a laugh. “No doubt, she had high hopes that I would end up miserable.”We
[Evelyn’s POV]A toxically venomous feeling seeped through me.Of course...Why hadn’t I considered it sooner? I guess part of me didn’t want to believe that people were capable of such horrible things. I knew it sounded naive but from my own experiences, nothing had ever excelled further than petty
