No longer A Slave to My Alpha のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

ConradMy eyes followed sternly as Katherine and Ricardo exchanged pleasantries. I had no idea who he was, but I already knew I wasn't going to like him."What are you doing here, any messages from Aiden?" Katherine inquired from Ricardo after they had finished getting familiar with each other."Not really a message, he has tasked me to help you out with some work. In his words, I'm to become your personal Assistant at home, and at work" Ricardo explained."She doesn't need assistance at home, I am more than capable of attending to her needs. We appreciate your offer, but we must humbly dec—""That's wonderful, when are you to start?" Katherine cut me off with her approval. She was clearly happy that this man was coming into our house, and she obviously had no regards to how I felt concerning the matter."Kate, don't you think it's a bit risky accepting someone you barely know into the house?" My question was a whisper, one only Katherine could hear. I didn't want it to look like I wa

ConradI watched as Katherine walked out of the study, and immediately she was gone I collapsed onto the chair nearest to me before breathing a sigh of relief. I was convinced now that Katherine was definitely my saving grace.I pulled out my computer and updated the status of our shareholders. I didn't upload it to the company's official website yet, I just wanted to be sure I didn't forget and miss out on this opportunity. Once the contract was signed and the everything was through, then I'll make it official.I immediately put a call through to Frank and informed him of the current deal. He was my beta so I figured he should also be aware of the current situation. He was a bit skeptical about selling thirty percent of our company's share to only one company. But after I had explained to him about the benefits, and the authenticity of the deal he was forced to comply.Our company wasn't doing very well, so we didn't really have much of a choice in the matter. After I had ended the c

KatherineThe entire hall fell silent, and even the auctioneer was too stunned to speak. Slowly all eyes turned towards the figure that had just made the proposal. But despite every eye being on him, the man remained unwavering.Finally realizing he had a job to do, the auctioneer returned to his duties. "One million dollars, going...?" He only asked once. He was already aware of the quietness that ensued after the man placed his bid meant nobody else was opposing him. So what was the need to ask anymore questions? "Gone" He announced, and once again the butlers had delivered the crescent moon to the unknown buyer.My eyes finally trailed away from Aiden who had also turned to see the figure of the man who had outbid him. I followed his eyes, and I too caught sight of the admirable figure. The man behind me had pitch black hair which contrasted with his ocean blue eyes making them stand out most out of his facial features. His tan skin color collaborated with the light from the chande

Conrad It has been a week and three days since after the auction sales, and the past week has been relatively fair. Shadow Pack's company wasn't fully stabilized yet, but we weren't struggling like we used to. The auction sale had gathered enough income for us to get ourselves back in shape, and with the partnership deals that were flooding in, I was definitely expecting greater news in the future.Not only had the auction sales made the company flourish, it had also added some spice to my relationship with Katherine. She was still hostile towards me, but I could sense the drop in hostility ever since the night of the auction.'The auction night' my mind recalled, and the memories of our moments came flooding back to my head. I wished it had lasted a bit longer, but Aiden wouldn't let that happen. He always managed to be the stumbling block between me and Katherine.I brushed him away from my thoughts and decided to focus on the better thoughts. Katherine's lips had tasted even bette

Katherine I ate in silence most of the time, while the other times, I spent it replying the messages Conrad would throw at me randomly. It was just basic questions, so I didn't really have a need to leave him hanging."Thank you" My mouth was still full when I uttered those words, but I could guess he understood what I was trying to say."It's no problem, you'll probably do more for me" Conrad said with a sense of surety and confidence. I didn't really say anything, in fact I had nothing to say. I would probably do the same for him, or not, I really couldn't tell. However, what I could tell was where this conversation was going, and I didn't want to further it."Thank you for your help, but I really want to sleep right now. Could you please leave?" I requested for him to leave.Conrad's pupil deflected from the plates he was taking care of, and focused on me."I'm not leaving, you've slept enough. You've been sleeping since we returned" He left the tray completely and turned towards m
