Hiding the Alpha's Heir Chapter 10: New Home
"This is our new home, Mama?" Sander asked with his eyes widened in awe.I roamed my eyes around seeing that this new flat I rented was well maintained. I was glad that I found a caring landlady who was so accommodating to her tenants, unlike the landlady where Sander and I stayed before. Her rent was cheap yet it was dilapidated.I only rented there because I wanted to live in a simple flat that would avoid having me found by Desmond. But I was glad that I found a flat that would fit in my budget for my wage of being a seamstress and my workplace was two blocks away from our new flat.I looked at Sander and gently caressed his hair. "Yes, little man. This is our new home with no annoying neighbors," I said.He giggled when I gently pinched his nose. "Can I go out while you are away, Mama?" he asked. "I saw a river that isn't far away from here."I chuckled. Sander would always love going to rivers and going to hunt some salmon. "As long as you are not going anywhere aside from that r

"Mama, please take care."I kissed Sander on his forehead. "Yes. Continue to write them, alright? Then, we will proceed to the next lesson once I go home. Be a good boy here, Sander."Since we already had a new home, I already introduced Sander to studying more by reading and writing. Though I couldn't say that I had knowledge about it, I only thought about what I thought would be convenient for my son while I was away.The education here was only favorable to all the nobles. It was a good thing that Desmond had made me study lessons when we were still getting to know each other. At that time I was still wary of him but still, I accepted the education he bestowed on me since he insisted. It was the time he knew that I couldn't read and write.It was very helpful for me and thanks to that, I could pass my knowledge to Sander.I went to the tailor shop early this morning. I even got to meet Niscia along the way."I hope Madam Ibanez is not here yet," I said when we went to our workstati
Hiding the Alpha's Heir Chapter 12: Teasing or Measuring
"You must be..." Desmond paused, acting like he wanted to know my name.I froze to my ground, unable to speak. Shivers kept coming, seeing his stare piercing me. Talk, Seraphina! Talk!"I—""Her name is Seraphina, one of my seamstresses. She will be the one taking your measurement, Lord Verlice," Madam Ibanez answered.I inhaled almost sharply when I heard Madam Ibanez say Lord Verlice. I almost pinched myself for failing to hear the surname, Verlice. How could I ignore it at all times?Verlice surname was only owned by Desmond himself. The devil in disguise!"I see. Seraphina, it is..." I snapped back, feeling my heart was about to explode as I faced my mate I rejected who was also my former husband. I felt shivers down my spine when he mentioned my name as if he was tasting it, wanting to see if it was according to his taste or not.I could feel my hands fidgeting right now when I came to see Oakley, one of his Betas, who was settling beside him. Our eyes met but he didn't react tha
Hiding the Alpha's Heir Chapter 13: Never Again
"A week before the party. I am hoping it will be finished.""Of course, my lord. I shall pay heed to that."I sighed in relief when it seemed that Desmond wasn't rushing to finish his tuxedo. But that didn't mean that Madam Ibanez would allow us not to have overtime work again. She would rush us for certain to finish it as soon as possible just as she would always do to us.Then, she wouldn't even dare to pay our overtime working hours."One more thing."I glanced at Desmond when he spoke. His eyes were focused on Madam Ibanez as if he was trying to charm her. I scoffed silently. That's right... That was how you charmed the courtesan and Hazel, didn't you? That suddenly made me feel bitter as I remembered the past.I suddenly wanted to get away from this place."Yes, my lord? What is it?""I need a dress that I need to bestow to someone special to me."I simply took the macaroon and ate it, not minding what they were talking about but I felt my stomach churning upside down for some re
Hiding the Alpha's Heir Chapter 14: Do Not Pry
Things had gotten busier as soon as we had more clients than usual. That was also a time we had to take shifts and have overtime work as well.I came home late again and saw on the table that Sander prepared for my supper. Sighing, I leaned on my seat, trying to relax as I thought about this week. I really had not enough rest and had no time to spend with my son again."I need to change my job..." I murmured while leaning to the window as I silently heard the soft croak of the crickets.I glanced at my hands. I used to be good in combat for living as a rogue before. And now, I couldn't even dare to bring myself to hurt other people just to survive. It was all different now because I had a son.I wouldn't resort to violence just to survive. Though Sander and I were still considered rogues, my life from before was indeed different right now.For the rest of seven years, I worked here at Madam Ibanez's tailoring shop. There was a time when I had come to the point that I put my son in the
Hiding the Alpha's Heir Chapter 15: New Demand
"Unfortunately, His Lordship did not like the outcome of his tuxedo.""What?!" I slammed the table upon hearing Sir Elron had returned this day after Desmond's tuxedo had been finished the other day and was delivered yesterday."Seraphina..." Niscia halted me from almost making a commotion. "You need to calm down," she said softly, placing her hands on my shoulders."No..." I shook my head. "I cannot possibly calm down from what I was hearing right now..." I said through gritted teeth. "We spent one week and five days just so we can finish his tuxedo! And he would tell us that his master doesn't like the outcome? Outrageous!""Seraphina..." I removed the hands of Niscia from my shoulders. I just couldn't help getting annoyed hearing this from Desmond's butler.That son of a bitch... He had the nerve to say that he didn't like how we sewed for his tuxedo? Damn him! He must go to hell!"What is the commotion here?"We all turned our heads when Madam Ibanez who had just arrived from her
Hiding the Alpha's Heir Chapter 16: River Bank
As soon as I agreed that I would personally make Desmond's another tuxedo, Sir Elron told me the conditions I must do."First, we will fetch you at the public park at six in the morning using the provided carriage by Lord Verlice. Second, you are going to work from six in the morning and five in the afternoon. You are going to work seven days a week so you can finish the tuxedo. We will provide your meal allowance or if you want to stay where Lord Verlice is staying, we will provide you accommodation.""I thought he is rushing to have it finished? Shouldn't I take another seamstress with me? I cannot possibly do all the work since I need an assistant to do that."Sir Elron smiled. "There is no need for you to take someone with you. Yours is enough. I shall be your helper and Lord Verlice has people to help you as well." That made me silent from what he said. "So, are we agreeing on the terms now?""I want your master to stay away from me," I added. "I do not want him to keep on harass
Hiding the Alpha's Heir Chapter 17: Client, Not Employer
Just as Sir Elron said, I waited at the public park for the carriage. I was surprised when I arrived there early and the carriage was also there. Even Sir Elron was also here."Greetings, Sir Elron," I said, curtsying before him."Greetings, Lady Seraphina," he greeted, smiling. He opened the carriage door for me. "The carriage is ready. We must go now."I was hesitant at first because I noticed the carriage I saw right now was the same carriage Desmond and I used whenever we traveled to the palace to attend the meeting. It felt nostalgic when we used to do the deed here.I castigated myself and felt my cheeks flaring up in embarrassment before I decided to mount on the carriage. I secretly pinched myself for daring to remember those moments we had together. It was all over now.It didn't take long before we arrived at the hotel establishment where Desmond was staying. Sir Elron got down first before he offered his hand to me. I gladly accepted it as he helped me to get down from dism
