All Chapters of The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Evan's POVIt's nighttime, and Leo hasn't shown up. I haven't taken my eyes off the entrance of the building for a second, so I know she didn't go inside. Is it possible that she was inside the apartment building when I knocked? I'm getting frustrated. I need to talk to her, and I'm running out of time. I decide to head back upstairs. I tell myself that if Anthony dares to stop me from talking to her, I’ll put him down and enter the apartment nonetheless. I’m not afraid of him; never have been. He can’t stop me from talking to her. And why won’t she talk to me after the shit she just pulled?When I reach her apartment, I halt when I catch a glimpse of Anthony talking to a member of the authority. I recognize it because of the uniform he’s using. Anthony’s enraged eyes land on me, and he quickly closes the distance between us. “Where is she!?” he demands. “What did you do with her?”The man pulls him back before he can ram into me, and I stare at him in the eyes and tell him, “I do

Evan carries me to his car just as a few others park alongside his. His calmness is what makes me not freak out. Two men step out of the cars, and they approach him. One of them says, “We’re here, boss.”“Yeah, I can see that,” Evan retorts. “Open this door for me.”Once the back door is open, he places me inside the car. I haven’t been able to look at his face, and I ignore him as he’s staring at me. I just don’t have much to say to him. He steps back without saying a word to me, and then closes the door. Outside, he says to the man who spoke to him, “Did you find a way to locate Barbara?”“No,” he says. “We haven’t found a single clue. She’s not been living with her daughter according to the Gamma we bribed. She’s been busy all around the city.”“Dammit,” Evan curses. He’s silent for a while, then he says, “I want you to go back to her house, and get Phillippa for me. Put her someplace where she can’t be found. I’ll lure her out if I have to. I don’t have the fucking time for this

Evan’s POVThe first place I go is my house. It’s the only place I can think of. I need to wear clothes, clean up the fucking wound on my side, and then head out to get help for Leo. By now, Barbara knows that I’ve escaped, and she’ll want to use Leo to blackmail me into giving myself to her again. The only reason why I know she won’t kill Leo in anger is because of this. She needs her if she wants me back. I can’t go to the authorities with this, not when I’m under investigation. There’s only one person that I can think of that would help me get her back, not for my sake, but for hers. Someone who would be willing to sacrifice his life for her. Fucking Anthony. Although I’ve always fucking hated him, he’d do anything to help her. I can’t think of anyone else who wouldn’t be bought by Barbara or something similar. I’ll need him to help me. But before I go to his place, I need to freshen up. I’ve wasted too much time running here, but I couldn’t have run any faster. As soon as

I haven’t found the strength to get out of bed.Healing has been taking a lot of energy. Anthony wants me to leave the city right away so Evan won’t catch up with me, or even Barbara, but I can’t go anywhere when I feel like a truck has run me over. I have to regain my strength and also get through all the emotions messing with my mind. I realize that these past few weeks will scare me for the rest of my life. I thought that what Evan put me through was vile, but this is out of control. The days all feel the same, and food tastes like ash in my mouth. Everything feels muted now, like the world has lost its color. The things that used to matter—small joys, everyday routines—now feel pointless, like I’m just going through the motions for the sake of it. The days stretch on endlessly even though Anthony constantly reminds me that we have to keep moving. I’m walking through life in a fog, numb to it all. I should feel something—anger, sadness, anything—but instead there’s just this hol

“Why would I tell you anything regarding that?” Anthony says to him in the most cruel voice imaginable. I’ve never heard him use this voice on anyone before. I barely even recognize it. Why has he been keeping Evan here? So, he knew where he was this whole time?I have a terrible feeling in my gut. “I just want to know that she’s safe,” Evan rasps. This is followed by a dull sound, like someone punching a wall of meat, and Evan groans in pain. I cover my mouth with my hand. I can’t believe what I’m hearing. Why would Anthony do this? Out of all the things he could do, why? Why keep Evan prisoner? He’s clearly hurting him. I came here thinking that I would find a clue concerning whether he killed Thomas or not, but instead, I find this. And there’s no satisfaction in this for me. This is something I never expected from Anthony. I know he hates Evan, but to go to this extent. I almost feel ashamed of my feelings. It’s not like I’m saying this because I care about Evan—he has ruine
