Chapter 36*****Amira****For the first time in a long while , I thought about the importance of self-care and self-love. I knew that I needed to focus on myself, and to take care of my own needs. I realized that I had been putting others first for too long, and that it was time to focus on myself . I decided to take a hot bath, light some candles, and read my favorite book. I wanted to relax and recharge, so that I could face the world with a renewed sense of strength and resilience. Despite all these, I also had a sense of unease about the future. I knew that I had to face Andre, and I wasn’t sure how I would do that. I walked throug the door to the living room , I was greeted by the familiar silence of her home, I sent my kids out to the Pack to get some Ice cream. I tried to relax, but I couldn't shake the feeling of anxiety that had been building up inside me.As I settled into the living room, I heard a knock at the door. I felt a jolt of fear course through my body, but I gat
Chapter 37******Amira^^**After what felt like an eternity, the Alpha Andre finally pulled away from me. He looked down at me, a smirk on his face. "I've always known you still wanted me," he said, his voice full of smug satisfaction. "You can't deny it. I know you felt something when I kissed you." I felt my stomach twist into knots. I was disgusted by his words, and by his actions. I wanted nothing more than to punch him in the face again, but I knew that wouldn't solve anything. I had to stay calm and focused.I took a deep breath, trying to compose myself . I had to think about my next move carefully. I couldn't afford to make any rash decisions. "You're delusional," I said, my voice cold and even. "I've never wanted you, and I never will. You're nothing but a cruel and selfish man, and you'll never have anything to do with me." Alpha Andre’s face darkened, and his eyes narrowed. He took a step toward me, his fists clenched. "You shouldn't have said that," he said, his voice lo
Chapter 38****Amira****Alpha Andre’s attitude suddenly changed. He stood up straight, and his face hardened. "I will not beg for forgiveness," he said, his voice cold and harsh. "I am who I am, and I will not apologize for it. I do not need your approval, or your understanding. I am content with who I am." I felt a wave of disappointment wash over me. "I was only trying to help you," I said, her voice quiet. "I wanted to give you a that one chance to change from your evil way."Alpha Andre snorted. "Change is for the weak," he said, his voice full of scorn. "I do not need to change. I am strong, and I do not need anyone's pity and I can’t change for anyone, not even you." I felt a surge of anger, but I took a deep breath and forced myself to remain calm. "I was not offering you pity," I said, my voice even and controlled. "I was offering you compassion and a chance . I thought you might be open to change, but I see that I was wrong."Alpha Andre sneered. "I am what I am," he said,
Chapter 39*******Amira******The tension in the room was intense , and suddenly,my son stepped into the doorway, his expression full of concern. "Leave my mom alone," he said, his voice shaking but determined. "You can't hurt her. I won't let you." Alpha Andre turned to face the boy, a dangerous gleam in his eye. "You don't know what you're talking about, kid," he said, his voice dangerous and smooth. "You shouldn't get involved in matters that are beyond your understanding."My son squared his shoulders and stood his ground. "I know enough to know that you have no right to hurt my mom," he said, his voice growing stronger with every word. "If you don't leave her alone, I'm calling the police." Alpha Andre laughed, a cruel and mocking sound. "You think the police can stop me?" he said. "You have no idea what I'm capable of." My son didn't back down, his gaze steady. "I'm not afraid of you," he said. "And I won't let you hurt my family."I had to step in front of them immediately t

Chapter 41******Amira*******Amidst the chatter and laughter of my children , my heart pounded in my chest. My unease had been growing steadily throughout the morning , fueled by a series of unsettling incidents. .I excused myself from my children , slipping into the quiet of my bedroom. Sitting on the edge of my bed, I replayed the events of the previous night – my recent findings.My thoughts raced, and I reached for my phone to call Attorney Paulo. My voice quivered as I recounted my feelings of fear and uneasiness . "Attorney , I don't know what's happening. I can't shake off this feeling that something could go wrong. I'm scared for my life. Alpha Andre has been let out of jail. And he seemed untouchable.”On the other end of the line, Attorney Paulo’s voice was reassuring. "Amira, take a deep breath. Your instincts are important. If you're genuinely worried, your safety comes first. Do you want me to come over?"I hesitated, torn between not wanting to overreact and the urgenc
Chapter 42**********Amira********I was overwhelmed with the issues, I needed to step out, I couldn’t allow my kids see me breakdown in tears so I went to this bar to have a drink. I had gulped down a few bottles of brandy done my throat without considering anything, all I wanted was for something that would make me forget about Alpha Andre and the whole troubles. A strange guy looked up to me, I was tipsy already, he had this strange smile on his face but I was too drunk to care. “Hey pretty lady, what a pretty lady like you doing here and getting yourself drunk.” He said as he sipped from the glass of brandy in his hand.“Stay away from me.. “ I starnmed.“Hey . I met no harm.. you can talk to me I just want to help,” he repeated staring at me seductively. “I just want to forget about my pains and every worry, I just want to be happy,” I gulped down the remaining drink and instructed the bar tender to refill my glass quickly. “I’m here to make you happy, my room is up the loung
Chapter 43*******Amira***** I starred awake "Derrick ?" I murmured, my voice groggy.He turned to me with a warm smile. "Hey there. How are you feeling?"I sat up slowly, a mixture of embarrassment and gratitude washing over me. "A little better, I think."My embarrassment and shame lingered long after I saw Derrick and remembered the events of the previous night surprise. I couldn't shake the feeling of guilt that came from being cared for in my most embarrassing state. I knew Derrick had acted out of genuine concern, but my pride took a hit, and the memory of my drunken behavior haunted me. I had to inform Alex that I was fine and it was time for him to leave.Although the day, I found myself pacing my living room, my mind racing with self-critical thoughts. I have always been the strong and capable one and very respectable lady, and now I felt like I have exposed a side of myself I would rather keep hidden.As if on cue, my phone buzzed with a message from Derrick .
