All Chapters of The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Once Evan steps out of the apartment, I lean against the counter and cry. I can’t stop thinking about how bad things have gotten for me. I try not to crumple the check in my hand but I have very little control over my fingers. It doesn’t even matter that I have the money to get away from here anymore. Julius forbade me from going anywhere earlier, and he’s using Victor to blackmail me into staying.When his bodyguard grabbed my arm and dragged me downstairs, I thought that I was being abducted. That was the first thought that crossed my mind. I couldn’t fight him as he dragged me down the steps with a force that was unquestionable. The same car as before was parked right outside my building, and the man opened the car door and shoved me inside. Julius was in the backseat, and he didn’t look happy like he usually did. His cheeks appeared even more sunken than before, and his black brows were drawn. “What’s the meaning of this?” I asked him. “What are you doing?”“My people saw you

Evan's POVPhillippa hasn’t called me back since yesterday, and what concerns me the most is how this time, I just don’t seem to care enough. Before, I’d always try to make the first move and try to make amends, but so much has happened and my head is so damn full. I have a lot to do. I have to find out if Leo truly left the city like we agreed, and I also need to figure out how to deal with Julius. I can’t say I’m comfortable with someone like him knowing so much about my personal business. I admire Julius. I always have. He’s taught me a lot, and generally, I could say that he treated me like a son when I was first introduced to the family. He guided me through the whole process and he was helpful when I first planned on expanding my business. But I can’t have him ruin me. I know he’s a formidable opponent to have. My relationship with Phillippa is on the rocks and Julius will certainly want to get involved when he becomes aware of it. I’m not even sure if Phillippa told him ye

When Evan returns to the car, I ignore the look he gives me and just get in the car. Although he’s the last person in the world I wanted to see right now, at least he’ll be taking me away from this place. When Phillippa’s mother showed up and started practically attacking me, I didn’t know what to do. She demanded to know whether I had an affair with Evan. Of course, she called him Hector. When I said I didn’t, she hit me, and I never felt so humiliated in all my life. To make matters worse, she struck me so hard that I lost my balance and fell. That was when Evan showed up. Evan is furious. I can feel his anger emanating off him. He dumps my bag onto my lap and then starts the car. We’re not even out of the gate before he says, “You’ll leave tonight and I’ll deal with Julius accordingly. Are we understood?”A scoff leaves my lips. Does he really expect me to dump my future in his hands? I will never trust him to take care of this situation better than me. He doesn’t care enough;

Waking up in the morning is extremely difficult, mostly because I didn’t sleep much last night and I’m not looking forward to the day ahead of me. Every bone in my body is in pain, and when I go into the bathroom and look into the mirror, I see that my face is a little swollen where Phillippa’s mother hit me. I touch the bruise and it sends pain along my jawline. Angrily, I apply some makeup to my face and then get ready for the shit day this is going to be. I leave my apartment. I don’t have a way of locking the door, so I leave it at that. I stare at the stairs that lead up to the next floor, though, and I find myself thinking about Thomas. The time we spent together feels like a been distant memory at this point, and honestly, I hate it. I’m saddened. He was good to me. I should’ve known to stay away. I should’ve insisted.It’s too late for that now, so I exit the building and take what I think will be my last Uber to Evan’s house. I don’t think Julius will want to beat around t

I push open the door of my apartment easily and look around. Now that I’m safe and free from danger, I feel very lethargic. I have so much to do so we can get out of here by tomorrow, and to make matters worse, Victor isn’t happy with the decision. I thought he’d be happy. That was what gave me the strength to leave. Things have never been as messy as they are now. I put my bag on the couch, and sit down next to it. I stare at the screen of the television for a long time while I try to organize my thoughts. It’s impossible, though, because all I keep seeing is Julius being shot, and tremors travel down my spine in the process. He died right when he had to. Right when he was going to scare me for life. All thanks to Evan. Gratitude is the last thing I ever thought I’d feel toward the man who ruined my life and allowed me to hit rock bottom for years. I had to struggle to keep afloat. Having a baby so young with no means to provide for it was a challenge that I’ll skip in the nex
