All Chapters of The Magnetic Alpha: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Christos. I heard her swearing softly in frustration and I raised my head up to see her trying to clasp back a wayward hair clip that was trying to fall from where she pinned it. For a minute I was almost distracted by the color of her hair which I’m just noticing properly since she always put them in a professional bun for work. But now, half of it is out of the clip and it almost reminded me of something but what it was, I couldn’t pinpoint it at the moment. Her little cry of frustration will not let me concentrate anyways and I soon allowed myself to be distracted. “Can I help?” I offered tentatively and I was not surprised when she swung to glare at me. “I will appreciate it if you will keep your hands to yourself from now onward, Mr. Fernandez.” She snapped with a pointed look at my stretched hand and I withdrew my hand and offer. ‘It seems we are back to Mr. Fernandez again.’ I thought wryly with a twitch of my lips. And yes, it’s funny that I can even smile despite the frus

Becca. Apart from the aching head and feeling intensely weak, I could feel the waves of tension that’s palpitating all over my body and I shivered. Pulling the extremely thick duvet to my body for warmth, I allowed myself to consider what might be the root of my problem. Christos Fernandez! The man that is taking over my head and soul as each day passes. Ever since he left my house yesterday night with those last words, I don’t know what it is but I have been unable to think of anything but that incident in the private library. The things he did to me were so beyond my experience and thoughts, they seemed almost like a dream. And the things I did in return were so unbelievable. I am finding it hard to accept it was me in that room, doing those things. It was as if a spirit possessed my body to do all that, because even in my passion during those moments, I could feel a part of me standing on the sideline, watching and wondering if I was actually the one on that desk. Moaning

Becca.“What the hell is the meaning of this, Becca?” The angry figure in an impeccable suit demanded angrily, but before I could speak up, my maid spoke up.“I am sorry, Miss, but he barged in here before I could stop him, despite my explanations that you ain’t available to guests.” She said apologetically with a frown at the man in question.Knowing how forceful the said man could be, I nodded softly and I could feel the man’s gaze on me.“It’s fine, Mary, you can go back to your duties and let me know when the twins are back, please.” I murmured with a voice that had gone hoarse and after an intense look of disapproving dislike at the silent watchful man by the corner, Mary nodded quietly before leaving the room.Turning my gaze back to the man, I opened my mouth to offer an explanation, but the man was not in the mood to listen and I watched with open mouth as he went on a tirade.“I’m sorry for that but…” I started but he waved a dismissive hand of silence and I kept mute.“Is th

Christos.I thought I had the answer when she blushed slightly before looking away. But I must have imagined it because in the next minute, she turned her head to look at me.“I told you, the kids will be worried if I go to the hospital. The last time I fell sick and I was admitted, they immediately fell sick days after and the doctor said it was from worrying about me.” She explained and I found her response to be reasonable enough.I can sure imagine the sensitive kids joining their mother on the sickbay out of worries.“Okay, I get your point, but you promised to listen and do everything to get better at home?” It’s important to make her know I would not leave her alone to deal with it.She promised softly and I gave a terse nod of my head in acceptance.“Okay, I will have to speak with your housekeeper then. You will have to give me some minutes. Okay?” I said apologetically as I walked back to the bed to put her gently on it. I really hate having to leave her in this condition ev

Christos. I could not believe that in the midst of the kids' dramas, I almost forgot about the sick woman in the room. Their mother! Now impatient to go back to her side, I took the two children by their shoulders as I made them sit on the bed. “There is no big deal about my coming, kids. Your Mum did not turn up at work today and we got worried.” I started calmly; glad that they would never know how far I was from the truth. “She did not? But Mum never misses work.” Erica said with a little show of surprise and I thought about how good she would be in Hollywood. Such a dramatic queen! “Well, she did and because I was also worried, I came here to check on her and guess what I saw when I got here?” “What?” They chorused slowly in unison. “A woman having a fever. I met your Mum sleeping with the shades drawn and the room thrown into total darkness and when I touched her skin, it was so hot, I was almost scalded.” I had not meant to reveal all or be very upfront with their Mum’s he
