ROMAN“Get out! Take it and get out!”I flung the tray across the room and it hit the wall, getting the food all over the walls and the floor.I'd told this new cook over and over that I didn't like spicy food but for reasons best known to him, he kept bringing me spicy food.I'd fired my old cook last week for making a stupid mistake I didn't expect him to make. He'd been my father's cook for so many years and he'd been in the family for so long so I didn't understand why he would have done something like that.“What the hell is-" Quinn walked into the room and saw the mess.“I'm sorry, Alpha. Sorry Beta, I'll clean it up immediately.”“Well if you keep apologizing like a fool, you won't actually get it done! Get out! Get the maids to clean it up! I don't want to see your face."He ran out of the room like a coward. I shouldn't have hired him. I didn't trust any of them anymore.“Roman, what is going on? What is the meaning of this?”I didn't answer her. My alcohol had finished so I
ROMAN.I couldn't kidnap her. Trust me, that has crossed my mind countless times. It wouldn't solve the solution. It would only worsen it but it would get me what I wanted back.I was talking about Selena, of course not Eden. I didn't want to force Eden into anything. Hearing the news of her pregnancy and getting a confirmation from Henry made me rethink my attitude towards her.I know she hates me right now so it bothered me, what exactly she was thinking. Was she happy that she was pregnant? Wa she ever going to tell me or was she going to end up disappearing again like last time?I'd taken the tail off her, I didn't want her to feel too pressured to do anything. I'd been going to see Belle after school just like last time and she had a lot to ask me..“Why did we leave, daddy? Mummy said it's only for a while for we've been with Aunt Alicia for so long. When are we coming back?”If only I knew the answer to that question myself.“Um, there's something wrong with my house. Apparentl
ROMANWhen Quinn handed me her file, I didn't think there would be anything interesting.But as soon as I got to the second page of her file, I knew I had her locked in. I stood up and went to her office. The day was already over so I caught her in the parking lot. She was speaking to someone so I decided to wait. Something like this shouldn't be rushed.I knew she had the ring, she wouldn't have lost it. She needed it as a trophy for her troubles and possibly something to blackmail me with seeing that I had come to look for it..But that was okay, we were equal now.The guest she had finally left and she smiled when she saw me. Once I returned her smile, hers faletered a bit. I hadn't smiled for once since I began looking for my ring. So she knew something was up.“You look extra happy, what the occasion?”I leaned on her car and crossed my armsI stared deep into her eyes to make her uncomfortable.“Oh nothing, that was just my lawyer telling me that I'd soon be getting my share o
NORAI should have known that something was up when Alicia took extra time cleaning the house this morning.Not that she didn't clean the house, but she was whistling a gone while doing it and she was cooking.Since we both found out that we were pregnant, our eating habits had changed so she barely cooked. Henry did most of it.“What's the occasion?"She turned from the pot to look at me.”What are you talking about?”I walked into the kitchen and rested on the counter.“Well, you're cooking. Not just one dish. So what is going on?”“I don't know what you're talking about. I'm simply cooking for my family."I let it be because I thought that she was probably planning to surprise Henry.But when the door rang that afternoon and she rushed to get it, I put down the magazine I was reading and when I saw who walked in through the door, I lost the breath in my mouth.“Roman, what are you doing here?”I was going to kill Alicia. She saw the look on my face.“Um, I'll leave you guys to talk
EDENI wasn't surprised when I walked into my office this morning and saw roses covering every inch of my table.I'd been reinstated into my former office and Roman sent flowers as a congratulatory gift and every day since then, he'd send flowers, the amount of the roses increasing with each passing day.I had to call Quinn to ask her to help send someone to take them home for me. As soon as I ended the call with her, my phone rang, the culprit of this romantic mess being the caller.“You know, I could have you arrested for stalking me."He laughed.“I see you've gotten my present. Have you read the card too?”“There’s a card? Well, excuse me for not being able to see through the rose garden in my office. People are beginning to talk!"I could see the stares and hear the whispers when I walked past. The fact that Roman had just been involved in a scandal just a few weeks before with a now convicted felon wasn't helping my new image as Roman's woman.The fact that the news got to the o
EDENQuinn said she had not sent anyone to come collect the flowers. I found it weird that someone would actually have the guts to come into my office and scan me of my flowers.When we told Roman, he thought it weird but he didn't say anything about it.Actually, I forgot about it too because I was too focused on my new assistant.Emily…she was quiet, petite and reserved. Her big eyes were further enlarged by her round glasses, making her look almost like a chipmunk.Everyone at the office adored her, even Quinn said something about her when she came over to my office to check the security cameras so she'd see the guy that came by to get the flowers.Obviously, they hadn't allowed her to have access to the footage because it was against company policy… obviously.So she said she'd have to get it the illegal way then. And that's what she did.I didn't even have time to ask her how far she'd gone with the investigation because I had so much work on my table.The project that had landed
ROMANWhen I got the call that morning, I didn't want to pick up.Especially because Eden was still sleeping in my arms and also because I thought it was work.Actually, I didn't care who the hell was calling me at seven in the morning on a Saturday.Even if the world was burning down, I wouldn't pick up.But when the phone kept ringing and ringing, I didn't have a choice.Without looking at the caller, I slapped the phone to my ear.“What?” May heaven help this person to say something that isn't important.“Roman, it's me. Leo!” I almost jumped up from the bed but remembered that there was someone on my arm.“Leo? What's going on? Is everything okay?"It had been a while since he contacted me. And I knew Leo didn't contact me unless there was an urgency.“Roman, I don't have a lot of time. You have to listen. The wolves, they're planning something. I don't know why it is but you have to come pack, Roman. They're going to come after you.””S-slow down, Leo." I tried to push Eden's hea
EDENI was almost done packing.I'd left Roman's house this morning to come back home and begin getting Belle and I ready.First, I had to stop by Alicia's house to pick her up.”What do you mean you're traveling? Did Roman do something again?”I laughed at her question. I guess Roman has really messed up in the past.“No- Belle, go get your bag. We're going to see daddy." I turned back to Alicia “Something came up.”“What?!"I pulled her to the corner because Henry was sitting in the living room.“Something is going on back at the pack. There's going to be a war and he has to be there."“And he's taking you along? How stupid is that? You're pregnant.””We can both see that. But I need to be beside him, Alicia. I'll lose it if he's all the way there and I'm all the way here waiting for him to respond to my texts and calls just because he's too busy.”She seemed to understand me and I seemed to understand her. It was too dangerous for me, no doubt. And then I was also taking Belle alon
