Kayla's POV."I'm so sorry, princess!" I sobbed softly, tears streaming down my face. Filled with regret and pain, I couldn't shake the realisation that I shouldn't have done any of what transpired back then.From the moment of letting go to the decision to run away, and the haunting act of ending my mother's life; each regret echoed in my mind. Sniffling, I continued to gaze at Adora in my embrace when suddenly, she stirred awake, but not in the serene manner I had hoped for. Instead, she woke up with a sudden cry, adding to the emotional turmoil that engulfed me."Ouch, my leg!!!" Adora exclaimed, sitting up abruptly, causing me to shift my gaze immediately. I quickly wiped away the tears in my eyes, not wanting her to notice a single thing."Watch where you place it then!" I suddenly heard someone say to her, a harsh comment that caught me off guard. Turning my attention to Adora, I found her massaging her leg, an evident reaction to the unexpected comment. The atmosphere gre
Reynolds' POV. Standing before the mirror in my room, a smile instantly curled up on my lips as I recalled one thing; that my daughter was happy and okay. She hadn't called since I left her with Kayla meaning she was comfortable and didn't want to leave Kayla yet. I guess I wasn't the only one that liked Kayla so much and wanted her for myself alone. "Have fun, Adora!" I said to myself as I stared back at my reflection in the mirror. It felt as if Adora was standing beside me as I spoke, yet she wasn't. Anyone who happened to witness my smile at that moment would likely think I was either crazy or on the verge of going crazy. As I was buttoning my shirt, the door suddenly swung open, and Beta Luke walked into my guest room. The unexpected intrusion prompted me to pause, curious about the reason for his entrance.Upon realising it was Luke, I furrowed my brow and turned to face him. I didn't want to display a smile too easily; he would likely sense that something was wrong and i
Kayla's POV. "Hey, Adora?" I called out the moment I approached her sleeping form. It was quite evident that she had experienced a restful night, given that she remained peacefully asleep even at this late hour in the morning. It seemed like she had enjoyed a truly rejuvenating night's sleep."Adora?" I called out once more, taking a seat beside her and gently running my fingers through her hair. I hoped the tender gesture would coax her into waking up and staying alert.At that moment, her eyes gradually opened, and upon spotting me seated beside her, a gentle smile adorned her lips with a touch of warmth.I felt a sense of joy witnessing her wake up with a radiant smile. Despite Willson bringing us back from the theatre the previous night, I couldn't shake the feeling that Adora still had some discontentment towards him."Good morning, Airport Mommy!" she giggled with delight, sitting up on her bed and wrapping her arms around me in a warm and tight embrace. Her laughter echoed
Reynolds' POV. "Daddy, hurry up! Hurry... Mommy is going to die!!" Adora's panicked voice echoed through the phone the moment I answered, sending a shock of urgency through the conversation.A surge of adrenaline coursed through my veins upon hearing her words. The fear of losing Kayla gripped me, causing my eyelids to redden, and my eyes widened in a mixture of panic and distress. The weight of the situation intensified, leaving me desperate for a swift resolution.Without a moment's hesitation, I turned on my heels and swiftly made my way towards the exit. Disregarding any future consequences for my exit, my main focus was on the urgent task at hand; as Adora had declared, the mission was clear: saving Kayla, preventing the threat to her life.The seriousness of Kayla's condition became starkly evident through the tears streaming down Adora's face. "Alpha Reynolds, where are you heading to?" Beta Luke inquired, his observation keenly noting my lack of communication with him."Th
Reynolds' POV."You've forced me up against the wall, Ava... Just accept everything you see!" As I placed my hands into my pockets and walked out of the room where she was standing, I declared.One thing I was positive of was that Ava was enraged by what I had said to her."Alpha Reynolds!! Reynolds!!" She growled to the top of her lungs in an attempt to make me stop and listen to her, but that wasn't going to happen.I couldn't stand there and listen to her rant like a fool, not after she had purposefully hurt Kayla and acted like nothing had happened.She was an evil being, there was no doubt about that. I slammed the door in her face, unconcerned about her reactions.I quickly got to my car and let out a deep sigh the moment I got in. I couldn't stop thinking about what Ava had said to me inside the house.She wasn't lying; she was sure; she wasn't just playing with my emotions. Having an affair outside of the Alpha's was a huge taboo and an evil.Kayla wasn't the mother of my ch
Kayla's POV."Come stay with me at the mansion, Kayla. I promise to keep you safe, and nothing will happen to you!" His words carried a heartfelt reassurance, a commitment to providing me with security and protection in the midst of uncertainty.Alpha Reynolds' suggestion had instantly overwhelmed me, and I found myself taken aback, struggling to believe that he had uttered those words to me.Was I hallucinating? Was I in a dreamland? Multiple thoughts raced through my mind as he tightly held my hand, the surreal nature of the moment leaving me in a state of uncertainty and disbelief.It all seemed too good to be true. One moment, he was tenderly pecking my forehead, and the next, he was extending a heartfelt invitation for me to stay at his home. His swift transition between moments left me in a state of pleasant disbelief.But the evident truth loomed large; this course of action had the potential to lead to danger, to a problem larger than I had anticipated. It wasn't the path I d
Kayla's POV."I promise to keep you safe, Kayla... All you have to do is come with me." Alpha Reynolds urged me as he extended his hand towards me.I was left with nothing but shock and confusion. Who was I to go with? Who was I to take his hand?If I took Willson's hands, my job place would be an unbearable place to be in, and if I took Alpha Reynolds' hands, Willson would not only hate me, but he'd also wish never to see me.Caught in a state of confusion, both men stood before me, making the situation increasingly challenging. Their standing added an extra layer of discomfort, and I found myself disliking the entire scenario.I was still trying to get my head into the game, to think right, to think straight, when just then Adora came to my rescue."Come on, Airport Mommy... I want to have you stay with me!" She begged with her tender and soft voice, pulling me out of a trance.I looked behind Alpha Reynolds, and seeing her smile, I instantly felt enchanted and mesmerised by her ge
Kayla's POV. "Is he back already?" I thought to myself as my gaze shifted to the direction of the door the moment I heard the knock. I was positive Alpha Reynolds had left for the company, and hearing knocks on the door made it difficult for me to figure out what had happened. When the knock sounded again, I got out of bed and strolled over to the door without hesitation.Taking a deep breath, I reached for the door handle and opened it, wanting to ask Alpha Reynolds why he had returned so abruptly, but the moment I pulled it open, my heart fell and I couldn't help but freeze in my tracks. "Mrs. Becky!" My eyes opened widely as I looked at my stepmother, who was beaming viciously at me as she stood right in front of me. If there was anyone I was expecting to see, it was certainly not Mrs. Becky with her venomous gaze at me. "Are you that surprised to see me that you can't tell me to come in?" She asked, her voice as nasty as ever. She simply wasn't going to care about my health
