His leather jacket flew behind him and tattoos peaked around his neck from under his black t-shirt.“I have news for the boss,” he informed the guards stationed in front of the door.They regarded him briefly before opening the door for him, gesturing their head to the inside. He hurried inside with a nod, rushing through the long corridor, climbing the spiral staircases that led him to the second floor of the mansion. His foot quickly swallowed the distance, his boots clicking on the marbled floor with urgency.The boss would be having his breakfast in his office at this time of the morning. He broke through the door with a quick succession of knocks to announce his presence.Maverick Leonard, looked up from his coffee mug. He was a handsome man in his early thirties. His black hair

One moment, Chanel was walking to the doctor's office and the next she was summoned by her brother's urgent call for help. Her distressed peppermint scent was all over the place.Mane Yves, a man who never bowed down to anyone in his life, a man who was so fearless looked so pale as he lay unconscious on Aire’s lap. The doctors had jumped into action immediately. She had to reign in her emotions as her phone blared non-stop. She assured her parents that Valentino and Saint were fine and stopped them from visiting the hospital.The hospital security was already in question and with the team responsible to guard Valentino and Saint was still out of commission they were outnumbered. Chanel never felt so helpless in her life before. The media and public were gathered in front of the hospital and there was no way one could get in or get out without being mobbed.Her pa
Claimed by The Arrogant Alpha.Chapter 66: get me that alpha, daddy . Jessica stayed with Santana for the duration of the party until she was able to coax the other woman into a taxi with Augustine, who was going to make sure she got home and to bed safely. She rejoined Kai at the end of the party, and when the older asked where she went, she said she was with Santana, and left it at that. For some reason, she didn’t want to speak to Kai about what she and Santana talked about. Any of it. She didn’t want to be the one to tell Kai that his brother’s reason for getting married was because of him and he didn’t want to bring up any family issues right now.They said goodbyes and returned to their hotel, and even when Jessica was out of the suit and scrubbed clean she still felt like she was wearing a costume, like she was a stranger in someone else’s body, like the little control she thought she had was slipping through her fingers like water. Kai kissed her deeply after she finishe

She blinked heavily, sitting up as she saw Kai putting toppings on two plates of waffles that were precariously balanced on the tv stand. When Kai noticed she was awake, he smiled at her, abandoning the waffles and walking over to press a kiss to her forehead.“Good morning,” he said, running his hands through Jessica’s hair, detangling a few sections with his fingers that had gotten caught during the time Jessica slept. “Did you sleep well?” “Yeah. You have waffles.”“I do. Are you hungry?” Jessica nodded, and Kai kissed her head again, heading back to finish putting syrup on the waffles before bringing a plate over for Jessica. It was her favorite breakfast food, but one they rarely had together. The first and only reason being because they didn’t own their own waffle iron yet otherwise she would probably ask for waffles every single time Kai off
Claimed by The Arrogant Alpha.Chapter 68: soon is sooner than we think . And that was how Jessica found herself on an hour and a half long helicopter ride flying across the county. The pilot and co-pilot were already waiting for them on the roof of Augustine’s house when Kai’s brother escorted them through his house up to the landing deck. Kai greeted her politely like an old acquaintance, and Jessica politely bowed, unable to keep her eyes off of the chopper. It was her first time being so close to one and it was so much bigger than she had expected. “Be back in time for brunch tomorrow,” Augustine requested, clapping Kai on the arm. “You two should come, it’ll be nice.” “You should invite Santana too,” Jessica said quickly, hoping that wasn’t overstepping any boundaries, but damn it the whole younger ones of the family needed to get their shit together, even if they both needed a little push. “I mean. If that’s cool with you.”Augustine laughed, bending over at the waist. “I

They had passed a few markets already, and Jessica wondered where exactly they were going. “I really hope you both can figure it out, I really do,” Santana said quietly. “And I hope that you’ve really thought about if all of this is worth losing him.”“I ask myself that every morning I wake up, every night I go to bed, and every second in between.” Santana pulled the car into a parking spot with ease. “But I’m too scared to do anything about it.”She got out of the car, ending the conversation for the time being. Jessica followed her as they walked deeper into the market, passing several families selling fresh farm goods including the potatoes that Augustine had requested, but Santana kept going, paying them no mind as she navigated the alleys with ease and familiarity. She stopped suddenly, staring straight at a booth, her real smile slowly com

You had no right in supporting Santana’s stupid decisions, you shouldn’t have urge her childish wants and now she’s eloped with some good for nothing thief who’s probably after our family money.”Jessica scoffed at the audacity of Kai’s mother. “You should have kept your head down and your nose out of the places it doesn’t belong because if you think after this stunt we will ever permit you to be in this family you are surely wrong.” She raised her chin, looking down at her. “You do not understand what being a Hermès means. And you never will.”As if god had cursed her, Jessica’s thread finally snapped under the pressure the moment Kai appeared down the hall.“I know I don’t fit in here, you don’t have to tell me that. Everyone here has made me feel like I don’t belong and I get it! I g
