After I slapped her, she took Hope and left. My worries intensified when I realized there is a chance she might get her anger out on my daughter.
Since I couldn't check up on her myself as it will ruin the entire purpose of my hard work, I called Vanessa.
"Hey!" She replied cheerfully from the other side.
"Nesa! I need you to do something for me," I told her without delaying. My heart was stuck in my throat ever since I saw Roxanne taking away Hope back home.
"Tell me," Vanessa replied,
"Check up on Hope for me," As soon as I requested her in a desperate plea, she asked out of concern.
"Is everything alright? Did something happen?" she sounded worried, maybe she got it from the nervousness in my voice.
"Yeah! Roxanne had come over and we had a little - - - -" I paused, running a hand through my hair, "I slapped her," I finished, waiting for her response.
"Okay! That's what everybody's dream used to be back in highschool," she a
“Ehm!” I groaned, still trying to process why I was seeing him in my room at this time?“Octavia! Get a hold of yourself,” he let out a shout to further prove his presence.“Ugh!” I finally understood that he wasn’t a nightmare, “why the heck are you here? Who let you in?” I groaned, holding my hand to my head and trying to gather myself.“You are forgetting that I am an Alpha King, I am invited anywhere, especially to my father-in-law’s house,” he replied very stubbornly, placing his hands on his waist and watching my face.“What? don’t you fuc*ng start again. Everybody gets drunk once in a while,” I felt his quizzical eyes on me and it reminded me of how he had accused me of using drugs before.“But the night you chose is going to get us both in trouble,” he retorted very angrily but then swiftly forcing a smile onto his lips, “Octavia! Do
Soon after those words were spoken, Silas walked out of the mansion to take a stroll and I didn’t bother going after him.‘Why didn’t you try to clear things out with him?’ Icy asked, I knew she was confused why I didn’t attempt to bring all the things everybody did wring to me to light.‘Talk to him? He is one of them,’ I replied, drinking some lemon water.‘He got fooled too,’ she tried to defend him but he had so much that there is no way he could ever come out clean.‘Sure he did but not by me so he is not my problem. Just because he got fooled by them doesn’t mean I will forgive him. Everything would have been fine but after how he stole my daughter from me, I can never look him the same way,’ I retorted, recalling every painful moment of waking up in Desmond’s new mansion and acknowledging what they did to me.‘Then why not reject him?’ she brought up th
I slept through the entire night wonderfully. After I have done a great job, I needed a little rest.I woke up pretty late, even hours after everybody woke up. There were noises outside my room and among those noises, I heard my father and Hope's voice.I dragged myself out of the bed and took a shower, changed into white pants and an orange top.I was ready for the day and finally meet my daughter after so long.I found them in the garden, my father and Silas were talking while Hope was playing with balloons."Mommy!" she saw me and yelled my name, running towards me.I wished to get on my knees and open my arms to hug her but I had to resist a little."Hey!" I said awkwardly, letting her hug my legs and raise her face to look at me."You are mad at me?" she was shocked that I have not responded the way I always did."You hate me now?" she inquired, her eyes forming big tears as she slowly pulled away from me.'W
“Thank you so much,” I responded to Vanessa, who kept praising me ever since she has joined us at the lunch.“That is truly amazing how quickly Octavia has mastered everything. I was so surprised when she took over the office and pack’s matters in no time,” My father pitched in, making me blush a little.“Your mother is very talented,” Vanessa told Hope, who had been silent this entire time.“And I am really sorry for you,” I ignored everything and focused on Silas, “I mean, it must be really hard for you to lose from someone as new like me,” I didn’t want him to forget that he lost this deal, his dream project.“It’s fine. I must have messed up and not worked hard,” he responded very calmly, trying to focus on his steak.My father passed me a glance and shook his head, he had been asking me to not overdo anything. He even noticed that Silas was awfully silent
I had been outside the guest room where the doctor had been with Hope for an hour. I hadn’t stopped crying and blaming myself for everything that had happened.“It is not your fault, you were just going through stuff yourself,” Vanessa gently patted my arm, I know she was lying. Everybody knew I messed up today, my daughter’s condition was all my doing only.“It is my fault, I shouldn’t have dragged Hope into all this,” I was speaking to Vanessa when Silas came from the outside. He had gone outside to call some of the best doctors and make appointments for Hope.“It is your fault, you took it too far,” he pointed his finger at me, steadily stepping back when he found my father walking towards us.“You will not point your finger at my daughter here,” My father stood between us. He knew I needed his support and the way I recalled his controlling behavior today gave him a hint that I wasn&rsqu
Vanessa had helped me back my stuff while my father has decided to adjust the business settings. Since I would be in the Reckless Growlers Pack, I will be holding the online meetings most of the time. Thankfully, Vanessa was very helpful in business so I wouldn’t worry about the meetings and the deals.It was just an uneasy feeling that now I have to live with Silas once again. The doctor then went ahead and told Silas a few things to take care of when we are with Hope and one of them involved showing affection and a little intimacy towards each other.“Just remember you are a good mother and everything you are doing is for Hope,” Vanessa knew it would be so hard for me to live under the same roof as Silas now. She wanted to make sure that she knows I wouldn’t live with Silas under normal circumstances.“Thank you for always having my back,” I hugged her, feeling bad that I lost myself in revenge so much that I hurt almost eve
After Tessa admitted to having forced Roxanne into the car with Silas and kick me out, things got awkward for all of us.It was just an excuse that Tessa made, a very weak one. She couldn't really come up with anything better as there was no lie that could comfort Silas.He left the mansion angrily to calm down and I walked back to the room where all my luggage was kept."You think you can come back and crush my year's old hard work under your feet?" Roxanne slammed the door open, rushing towards the bed as she yelled at me."You really have no shame, right?" I rolled my eyes, speaking to her without any hesitation.“I should be the one asking you this question. You are stealing my mate a---,” she was truly unbelievable for thinking she could still look me in the eye a question me.“Your mate? Are you sure?” I smirked, getting on my feet and facing her, “Maybe you are forgetting that your mother confessed to for
Hope woke up normal in the morning but her sadness towards Silas and I was still there. Since the doctor has asked us to not act like something weird or strange was happening, we had to send her to the school as if nothing had changed. Obviously, she didn’t speak to any of us in fact, she relied on Roxanne one of the reasons Silas had not kicked her out.After Silas went for the office, I had to spend my day with the vicious Roxanne, who had been grunting every time she walked past me.“What is your problem?” Finally, after spending hours just grunting and passing me glares, she reached up to me and stomped her foot, asking me what my problem was when she was the one being very aggressive towards me.“What is it now Roxanne? Did you just remember one of your evil activities and decided to blame it on me?” I shook my head, watching the TV in the living room and trying my best to avoid her.“What did you say to him last n
