Chapter 44"Now that you know how to gossip and spread news, I am firing you so that you can go and do what you know how to do best. You can spend the rest of your life gossiping and writing posts about people because you have time. You are fired. Get out ofy office." Drake told her. He did not want to lay abhand on her because if he did, he would only stop when she was dead."Boss please. I am so sorry, it was just banters." The lady pleaded with tears streaming down her face."Go and banter outside my company." Drake said. "Please remove her from this premises before I strangle her with my bare hands." Drake told his beta.The lady was dragged shamelessly out of Drake's office. She was crying as he forced her to pack all that belonged to her from the desk. The other employees were silent behind their desks; not even a squeek could be heard from them. They had already gotten a sacrificial lamb, the rest of them were not willing to go through what their fellow had gone through.They w
Sandra's POVI had to call Roxie now that our mole had been ratted out. I blame her, she could have shut her mouth. We would not have been in this predicament had she kept quiet instead of yapping about the mission to her friends. And to expect me to sympathize with her and help her find another job; the audacity! I was kot going to do such a thingm jn fact I had blocked her as soon as I disconnected the call. Let her swim in dirt without involving me. I dialled Roxie's number."Hey girl." I started when she picked the call "Hey my dear. How are you doing?" Roxie asked enthusiastically.We had become some sort of friends because we had a common enemy. We met once a week for dinner or lunch. Mostly it was always on Fridays before ushering in the weekend."I am doing good. I know we are supposed to meet on Friday but I have some news that cannot wait. We need to meet as soon as possible. Are you free today?" I asked before transferring the phone to my other ear."Kind off. But I could
"Are you okay?" Noah asked as he carried Hazel from the room she had been in."My head hurts." Hazel replied. It was the effects of the drug she had inhaled from the handkerchief they had used to cover her mouth with."Sorry about that. I will give you some water when we get to the car." Noah said.Hazel was too nauseous to ask whose car they were going to. Or maybe she did not care and was just glad to have been rescued. She had thought that would wake up and find her lying there, unconscious. She was really grateful for being saved. "Thank you." She mouthed before going unconscious again."You are welcome. Noah said. He smiled a little. This was a sad situation but it had given him a chance to be with Hazel, even if it was for a short time, without any of them raising his or her voice towards the other. This was the first time in years, they were coexisting peacefully. He wished this moment could not end. He wanted to stay in the car with Hazel for as long as he could. But that wa
Hazel 48Hazel was still trembling in fear even after they had left the hotel. She could not believe that had it not been Noah, she would have been assaulted terribly and probably killed. She tried to get it off her mind but it was impossible. She also tried not to cry but that was also impossible as tears burst their banks as soon as she sniffled. Her life was really at risk. She had assumed that the threats were just bluffs; she did not expect them to be actualized. The more she thought about what would have happened to her, the more tears streamed down her face.She was grateful even in her fear. Noah had been there just in time to save her. Had it not been for him… she shook her head to avoid thinking of what would have been her fate. Noah did not know what to do with her. Ever since they had known each other, even before the kids, there was no day where they had just sat together peacefully. There were always some emotions swirling around them. Noah moved close to her and pulled
Hazel's POVI hurriedly walked towards the door. I had not bothered to bid Noah bye and I did not care. All I wanted to see were my kids. I knew Noah had saved me and I should have shown my gratitude but at the moment that was not a priority. I would offer him one later. He should have, however, taken me home to my kids. I had never spent a night away from them and I was worried. Lucas was a good friend but I should not have left them with him alone. I just hoped that they had not given Lucas a hard time. I would deal with the trauma of being kidnapped later so I shoved it at the back of my mind the way I did things that stressed me. It was not the first time I was postponing my grief. I had, in fact never mourned the death of my brief relationship with Noah. I was still waiting for the right time, which between juggling work and taking care of the kids, never came. There was no time for pity party. I had had to man up and be the responsible and reliable parent my children needed. May
Noah smiled at me, his smile so beautiful. It was just like I have always Imagined, only that his smile didn't just warm my heart, it tipped me down there. Five years of admiring and crushing on him secretly and today, he finally realised my existence. Not only that, he was in my room, giving me that killer smile. I couldn't control my feelings anymore seeing that I have kept them bottled up all this time.Why was he in my room? I didn't have the slightest idea but that didn't matter. He was here with me, that was everything to me. I didn't even dare to ask because I feared that that would drive him away.I gave him my best smile and walked towards him.Noah took unhurried steps towards me, stopping just about a few inches before me. He then took my hand, placed a gentle kiss on it. I felt tingly all through my body and my eyes felt teary with emotions. It's finally happening, each of my fantasies. Noah had kissed me. This was like a dream come true.I smiled at him and he bent h
Watching the damn pregnancy test for the humpteeth time, I don't know if I should cry or scream with joy. I am pregnant. But how? We only did it once! It was a mistake, or so he called it. Noah was fucking drunk that night when he came knocking on my door. After turning eighteen, I found out that he was my mate, just like I had prayed. I was over the moon but he didn't share the same excitement. He even warned me not to breathe a word about the news of being mates to anyone. I did as he instructed, hoping that he would come to wrap his mind around the fact that I was his fated mate and accept me. When he arrived at my doorstep reeking of alcohol, I welcomed him. When he kissed me Possessive, I kissed him back and when he spread my legs and settled between them, I spread them wider for him, granting him access to my treasure. Noah made love passionately to me that night but the next morning, my heart was shattered into a million pieces by his words. I had tried hugging him
I froze, blood draining from my face before my anger slowly crept to every nerve of my being. Seeing that bitch standing proudly next to my mate with a smile on her face, all I wanted to do was march to her and skin her alive. Before I could control myself, I was before her, a crisp slap echoing through the room. Gasps filled the room as Serena's eyes widened with surprise, a dangerous going flickering through her eyes. “ Are you crazy?” Noah roared, his eyes flashing between red and black, showing that his wolf was struggling to take control. “ I should be asking you that. Are you crazy? How dare you bring this woman here?” I spat, my anger flaring just seeing her ugly face. Seeing her reminded me of the past, the past I fought so hard to forget. “ Who do you think you are to question who I bring here? Let me remind you in case you forgot. I am the Alpha of this pack and I get to do what the fuck I want.” Noah's face was painted with fury and I could see I had managed to anger
