I frowned but accepted the hanky and used it to wipe my sweat. "Sorry, but why did you walk out on her like that?" I asked him. I am curious. It's obvious that Melissa is one of his women and I am not going to judge him on that. Our AlphaS Xavier had a lot of girls, too, to the point that I have realized that all rich men are like that.
Jeff sighed and gave me a look as if asking me why I had to ask that question. II walked down the stairs and saw Jeff already in the kitchen, cooking breakfast. I looked at the clock and saw that it's only six in the morning. I woke up later than usual today because of the movie marathon last night.I cleared my throat as I approached him, making him turn to me. He smiled. "Oh, you're up," he said before transferring the bacon strips from the pan to the plate. I turned to the table and saw that he already prepared everything. I suddenly feel guilty. He's got a meeting up today and here I am, waking late and couldn't even prepare breakfast for him before he goes to work.Jeff nodded at me. "Come on. Let's eat breakfast," he said as he placed the plate on the table and pulled his chair.I pursed my lips and just followed him. I sat in my place and started eating. "I'm sorry I didn't wake up early," I told him.
I stared at the phone on my bed. Jeff asked me to browse its features while he prepared us dinner. He also told me to capture some photos from the garden.I can't believe I'll be able to hold a phone like this. Even Leinart and the elites from my pack have this. Well, I have never seen them own one, She's probably going to boast it to the whole school.That's how she is as a person.I remember when she boasted that she has a brand-new laptop. We were preparing for the script of the play we're in but didn't have a laptop to type and print it. Leinart sounded like a hero because she let us borrow hers. But I know for a fact that she only wants to gloat.I shook off that memory and just smiled as I grabbed my phone. I opened the photo gallery and stared at the stolen photo I took of Jeff while he's cooking. Even with his back and turned
I was skeptical the next morning. I intentionally got out of bed late because I don't know if I still have the face to show him after what happened last night.I shut my eyes and groaned at the memory of last night. I dug my own grave on that one. I regret going down to get some milk. It didn't do anything good to me anyway. I still couldn't sleep. I was awake until five in the morning. What I had was just a simple three-hour nap. And I refused to get out of bed until it was already nine in the morning.I sighed and lazily dragged my feet downstairs when I heard Jeff's voice."What do you mean they trespassed?" he is practically yelling but in a controlled voice. Even from meters away, I can sense that he's angry at whoever is speaking to him on the phone. "What?! Fine. I'll go there later today."
I was watering the plants in the garden to divert my attention because I can't stop thinking about the rejection emails I have received yesterday. I have been bothered about it all night that I only had four hours of sleep.Jeff texted me this morning that he couldn't go home yet which was good because I still don't know how I could look at him in the eyes after our conversation over the phone.I sighed hard as I stared at the plants. "Do you think I should leave?" I asked the yellow dandelion in front of me. "I was thinking of leaving once I get a job. I have a lot of loans to pay for. Jeff was too kind to loan me clothes and even a phone."The dandelion danced with the force of the water coming from the hose that I felt like it's nodding at me. I smiled weakly. "I should leave, right?" I asked the poor flower again and it moved again. "I should leave and look for a job. Maybe I got rejected be
The skies were turning orange and I can already see the sun coming out from the mountains. I smiled as I watched the beauty of the sunrise in awe."It's beautiful," I gasped. My eyes are surely twinkling at the sight of it. For me, sunrises mean hope and new beginnings. It's a new day and we need to forget about the darkness of the night.I looked over at Jeff who is staring at the skies too and I couldn't help but smile. A lot of bad things had happened to me but I am glad that I have met him. I was lost in the darkness but he helped me find the light.He's my sunrise. He's a part of the new beginning of my life. He marked the start of another chapter of my life-a a life to redeem myself and show everyone that I can be more than just an omega's daughter.Jeff suddenly looked at me. "Why?" he asked me.
Mate? What does that mean?I stared at Jeff's mother with a trembling gaze. My whole mind went blank with the bomb she just dropped. Why would they know about mates? Do humans have mates, too?Jeff's mother narrowed her eyes at me. "Who are you?" she asked again. "What are you doing inside my son's house?My lips parted, unable to answer her question because my brain is not in its best state-not when I am suddenly confused about what's happening around me.While waiting for me to answer, two men came from behind her.They both looked so intense that the first thing I thought when they came in is that they are her bodyguards. One is wearing a brown shirt and a pair of jeans. I think.He's tall a
My whole brain is in haywire. Roselyn was already five steps ahead. She's already planning for the wedding. I looked at Jeff for help but he's also preoccupied with Neil and Ryder, who seemed to be reporting something to him.I looked at Roselyn who sounded very delighted. I knew she cared for her son so much but she's jumping to conclusions without even trying to hear Jeff's side. She doesn't even know what Jeff has to say on this one. I am not his mate. I'm sure he doesn't want to be married to me!"You know what? The best venue for your wedding would be in the flower field," she said dreamily. "It's where his father and I got married and it's the most beautiful wedding everyone has ever seen." She took my hands in excitement.She looked at my body. "We need to plan this wedding right away!" she beamed as she stood up
I was pacing back and forth in my room, biting my nails, as anxiety was taking over my whole system.I agreed to the marriage. I agreed to be his wife even though I am not his mate. I sighed in frustration and messed my hair. I groaned and stomped my feet like a child throwing a tantrum before throwing myself on the bed.I buried my face on the soft blanket as screamed in frustration. I should have lost my mind for a moment because Jeff was not the Jeff I have known for days. He sounded so dangerous and ruthless. Gone is Jeff who was sweet and caring. All I saw a while ago was a dominant alpha.I sat up abruptly and rubbed my face with my palms. " That's okay, Caitlynn," I mumbled to myself. "That's okay. He'll kill you if you don't agree." I nodded, affirming what I am telling myself. "You just agreed because you love y
