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
Ava's POV. "I can't believe I was locked up solely because of her! Just because of that bitch!" My hand clenched as I murmured under my breath and paced about my room, as if I was down with an upset tummy. A lot of things were rushing through my mind, and all I wanted to do was kill and end Kayla, to show Kayla that I was the boss at the mansion and not her. Just then, memories of being attacked and dragged into my room by Beta Luke flooded back, and I couldn't help but feel irritated. "Fuck!! She must pay!" I screamed at the top of my lungs as I stomped my feet on the ground repeatedly like a child. I simply wanted to never see Kayla again, for her to vanish into thin air and never show her face to me again. At this point, I regretted not killing her back then, when the bargain was struck. I should've sent her away, but I didn't, and as it stood, it was begining to drive me nuts. "I have to stop this, no matter what! I just need to get out of this disaster I've created for mys
Reynolds' POV. "You know you can tell me anything right?" I held Kayla's hands and persuaded her to open up to me. I was aware that Ava's mother had not simply entered her room to meet her. Mrs. Becky was bound to despise Kayla as much as Ava did."I am sorry, Alpha Reynolds. I didn't mean to draw attention to myself, but believe me, Mrs. Becky was not here to cause any harm to me. She came here to see how I was doing!" She continued to lie to me, and I could see it in her eyes. When she lied, it was written all over her face, and her hands continued to shake, making it even more obvious. I wanted to embrace her at this time, kiss her on the lips, and wipe away the tears on her cheeks, but it was a forbidden affair because Ava was still in the mansion. If there was one thing I didn't want to do, it was to make life difficult for Kayla, and kissing her would undoubtedly cause problems. My phone buzzed again as I continued to stare at her, despite her attempts to avoid making eye
