MIA POV When Rhys left, I hastily picked around my food, upset and mad and just angry. There were loads of things I wanted to tell him but I didn’t, all because I wanted to maintain some sort of sanity. I sighed, trying to calm myself down. Why wouldn’t he believe Craig? Why would he believe some lowly guard over him? This was seriously giving me a headache and I don’t like it. I looked up and saw that Craig still stood awkwardly around like he was trying to look invisible and failing miserably at it. “Why didn’t he take the bait?” I asked quietly. Craig looked at me, then shrugged. “I don’t know, Mia. I don’t know what goes on in his head sometimes.” “Yeah, you’re right,” I said. “You don’t know what goes on in his head, but I’d like to know what goes on in yours. How did you find a guard that he knows and trusts so much?” Craig tried to sit down and then realized that he wasn’t in his house. He hovered around, trying to see if I would invite him to sit. I did not. It would be su
MIA POV I expected him to thank me. That was the least anyone would have done, much less my lover. Well, he wasn’t exactly my lover because Rhys had no atom of love for me, If I asked him to thank or appreciate me for the good will I was doing, he won’t so much as bat an eye, which was exactly what he was doing right now. He won’t even offer a hug, or a kiss. Oh how I wish to be kissed! It’s been long, way too long since he kissed me last; since anyone kissed me last. Not even a hug, or a word of compliment. Rhys simply stared at me like I was missing something, and our eyes held for a short while. I would have called it a moment of love, or reckoning, if his phone hadn’t chimed with a notification, breaking the spell. Rhys jumped back, mildly surprised. Even I was a little surprised and upset. Perhaps if the phone hadn’t rung and broken our spell, he might have kissed me. Or not. Rhys picked up his phone, looked at the screen and dropped it back. He didn’t even open the message
MIA POV As I drove to the training ground, I thought of Craig and Rhys. I don’t know what Emma is doing at Green place with my husband, but I’m sure I have enough time to roughen Simon Walters up before going there to meet them. Should I sneak in and eavesdrop on them? I’m not exactly sure where the so called green place is but if I’m thinking right, then it should be around the reserved place for couples. Why would they be meeting up there anyways? Oh they better not, because I’ll really be upset and offended. Nothing serious apart from the fact that she should not b betraying me to my husband in such a reserved place. Oh what I would do to Emma if I find out that she’s actually relaying my secret to him. It would hurt me and force my hand to do what I’ holding back on. And then Craig. Poor, sweet Craig. He was ready to take the fall for me if need be, but I can’t let that happen. I’m already compromised, which means I can’t let anyone know that he’s involved. His reputation and t
ARABELLA POVAs I stopped my car in front of the Green Place, I contemplated my choices. I didn’t really want to do this. Matter of fact, my presence here was to let Rhys know that we were done ad over, and nothing can really bring us together anymore. He was still the same shitty man that I’d always known, and I don’t know what I was expecting from him this time around but I’m really disappointed. He is just someone that I don’t want to continue this with again.Plus, Mia was becoming increasingly unpredictable. I don’t want her to suddenly spring up on us one day and catch us in the middle of something. She was crazy, and she’d shown done that several times before that she was crazy and would protect her man at all cost. I’m not sure I’d like to experience the other part of her,—the protective, get away from my man part, but isn't yet time.I got down from my car and walked into the place. This was our favorite meeting spot. Other than the fact that they had great food, Rhys liked i
RHYS POV The look on her face said it all. She was hiding something from me, and it was no easy feat. With the shock written so easily in her expression, I was dying to know which it was and what exactly she had hidden from me. Was it James? What was he truly to her?I leaned further and she somehow edged back, looking back at the entrance, where the wolf had run away to. Oh right, that I wanted to chase after it, to know which woman it was exactly that scared Emma half to death. In as much as I knew it wasn’t Mia, I also knew that this person had seen us and run away. One person had seen me with Emma in a completely intimate position, and I was desperate to find who that person was. I just wasn’t s desperate since I was still sitting down here, questioning Emma.Emma in question leaned back in her seat and schooled her expression. Too late, she had already told me what I needed to know. I’d have to look carefully now as I ask my questions, so I can watch her as she answered them, a
ARABELLA POVI followed him outside. Instead of taking his car, I took mine instead. It was bad enough that Mia saw us in there, but although Rhys said she wasn't the one but I can't seem to believe that.I don’t want anyone else seeing me in his car with him. They would automatically sense that something was up with us. Rhys just cannot stay his hand whenever he’s with me. As I drove my car out of the premises and followed behind him, my mind strayed to Mia. I know she was the one that caught us. She has to be. It was her exact size and the color of her fur. It was too dark to check for the black spot but I’m not sure I need it. No wolf would snarl at me and stare for no reason. She saw us, and no matter how much Rhys wanted to pretend that he didn’t immediately want to investigate the matter, I knew better.It was her and I needed to come up with a plan.Mia was very vindictive. She was unpredictable, uncontrollable. Any sensible person would see her husband in an intimate position
MIA POVI was seething in the living room when Rhys drove in. I didn’t even check back or go out to welcome him. I sat there in the sofa, with a bottle of vodka in my hand. It was just what I needed to get the shitty image out of my head, even though it’s proving really hard to get rid of.Perhaps if I had not rushed home after forcing Simon Walters to do my bidding, then I would not be so lost. I got home earlier today and saw Rhys driving out. It was my cue to follow him. I knew he would be going to the green place to meet her, and so I decided to follow him. It was a dumb decision that I would come to regret, but not then. Then, I was eager for him to move onward so I can stay far behind and spy on him. He arrived at the place in less than thirty minutes. It would seem that he was rushing to get there, to see her. What was so important anyways that he needed to rush and see? What had she told him?The first suspicion was the place he arrived at. As expected, it was green scenery t
ARABELLA POVI sat down with Lily in the diner, my head pounding. I wonder what Rhys was doing now if he had met Mia and what she said to him. Did she confront him, yell profanities at him of all sorts? I’m kind of surprised she hasn’t even attacked me yet. I’m positive that she’s the one who saw us, but if she hasn’t reacted yet, then does it mean that I’m wrong and it wasn’t her?“Thank you, Arabella,” Lily said. “I don’t know what I would have done without you, really. You saved me.”I rolled my eyes as I turned to look at her. Lily thanked me so much that it was becoming embarrassing.“Stop. I told you, you don’t have to call me Arabella for now and can you just stop thanking me? It’s seriously embarrassing.”Lily sighed. She reached for her mug of warm chocolate and drank it slowly, savoring its taste. The diner was thankfully empty, which meant people didn’t have to stare at her as they walked past. At least she was safe from the stigma…for now.“You know I can never stop thanki
