His Fifth Mate 40
Chapter 40Charity POVA dead silence plays in the atmosphere as I sit in front of him in his office, fondling with my fingers. I didn't know I would run into him here again. I thought he just came here to publish his book too, but heck! He is the CEO of the company. Wow! Now, I just experienced another epic scene I've written in my book, where the female lead would run into the CEO a few times and won't even know that he owns the company. I feel like a female lead right now, and my prince charming male lead sitting in front of me."Can you get yourself together, Charity? You are in trouble, and that is all you can think of?" My subconscious mind reminds me of my madness, and I can only admit that I'm really not getting a hang of my sanity anymore."Uhm... Sorry, you had to see that... But, come to think of it, don't you think your editors here are all out of their minds, and incompetent fools?" He raises his eyebrows, and I realize the shit I just spilled. I am in a trouble already,

Chapter 41Clarissa POV "Gosh! I didn't know the guy is the CEO of the company. He is so cute, nice, and gentle. You need to see the way he talked to me and assured me that everything would be fine. Gosh! I'm so madly in love with him," Charity gushes dreamily as she kicks her legs in the air like an earthworm that was poured salt. If only she knows what is wrong with me, I'm sure she won't even think of bringing up the issue of her crush. Gosh! This girl has a thing for cute guys, which landed her in trouble in the hands of Mason, but it seems like she has not learned her lessons yet."I felt like it was Korean drama or one of the epic scenes of my romance books. I felt the spark, Clarissa. You needed to really see the man," She whines again as she hugs the pillow to herself. Is this how all writers are crazy, or is it just my friend that is being like this? I think I'm going to lose my mind with her around me."You don't look ok... Is everything alright?" She finally turns to face

Chapter 42Alpha Miguel "Are you kidding me? You want to get married to her, just like that?" Axel's eyes widen after I tell him everything, but I can only sigh. There are a few things I haven't told him about yet, and this includes the reason why I suddenly want to get married to her. He already knew the reason I have been holding back all this while, what happened to my previous mates, and everything that has been going on in my mind since he proved to me that I could confide in him."No, I'm not. I need to get married to her, Axel, and I can't waste much time," I reply to him, and he went silent for seconds before he finally pats my shoulder."I support your decision, Miguel. I told you that I would always be here to support you in whichever decision you made, right? I know you won't make this decision if you know it won't be nice for you," He utters, and I feel a little relieved that at least, someone actually believes in me."I want to introduce her to you. She will be coming he

Chapter 43Alpha Miguel I glance at her for the second time through the visor, but she is only resting her head on the window glass and staring out as if she is looking at something there. She has something going on in her mind, and it's obvious, but I don't know what exactly is going on with her.After driving for about twenty minutes, we finally arrive at the front of her apartment, and we all hop out of the car."I will leave you two to talk," Charity utters before she walks away as if she read my time. I needed some time to talk with her."Why did you go out this late? I told you to stop staying out late at night... You are a woman," I add the last word so it won't look awkward."Why were you so mad at him? He only offered to take us to the restaurant, and didn't do anything wrong," She asks, and I bite my inner bottom lip. How do I explain to her that the person that has been taunting her was that young man she mistook to be gentle and innocent?"Uhm... I was just pissed. I mean

Chapter 44Carl POV "What is wrong with you, Carl? Have you lost it?" Mom yells at the top of her voice as she trails behind me to the living room."I told you that I'm not interested in getting married to Emily...""But you were interested in sleeping with her...""It was just a one-time thing for goodness sake, why have you been bringing it up all the time and making me look like I took advantage of her?" I can't help the anger that rushes through my vein as I turn to face the woman that is hell-bent on ruining my life, by forcing me into marriage with someone I don't even have feelings for. When will she stop this? When will she realize that I'm old enough to make decisions for myself? When will she realize that I'm no more a kid that she has to be looking out for all the time? Those are the questions I have been asking myself all this while and never got the answer to any of them."It was a one-time thing, but do you know the scar you left in her heart? You slept with her and you
His Fifth Mate 45
Chapter 45Clarissa POV The last few days have been filled with me hanging out with Miguel and getting to know each other more. He has been overly protective of me. He calls me all the time to make sure that I'm fine, which makes me feel like something is off.It's a beautiful Wednesday morning, and since I took the day off from work so I can go see a neurologist later, I decided to take the day off. I had to lie to Miguel that I had something urgent to take care of at home, but the truth is, I've been disturbed by the constant weird nightmare I kept having without any explanation. I need to find a solution to it before it drives me crazy."Are you sure you don't want me to go with you?" Charity asks for the third time as she watches me get ready, and I sigh briefly."No, I'll be fine," I reply to her, and she hesitates before she nods her head."It'll be going to the publishing house later then. Let's hang out tonight when I get back home, ok? I'm going to give you feedback about wh

Chapter 46Next day at the companyAlpha Miguel POVI glanced at Clarissa for the second time, and I couldn't help but sigh. She had something bothering her, but too bad that her thought was empty. If only she was thinking about anything, maybe I would be able to help her out of it, who knows?The sound of my ringing phone pulled my attention, and as I checked the screen, I sighed upon seeing that the call was from one of the chiefs from the Pack. Why the heck was he calling me? It was something unusual, but still, I didn't feel like answering the call because I had no reason to. Maybe he was calling because of the usual mate stuff. I thought to myself as I dropped the phone on the bed and ran my fingers through my hair "Why don't you go talk to her?" Ares asked, and I sighed briefly. I wanted to do that, but I felt she needed privacy. The fact that I'm her boyfriend and she is my mate doesn't give me the right to invade her privacy, right?"She'll be fine," I telepathed Ares before

Chapter 47Charity POV The cab that took me to the publishing house dropped me in front of the building, and I paid him before I headed to the building.As I stood at the doorstep minutes later, I took a deep breath before I pushed the door open and walked into the editors' office, since he asked me to check with them first when I come here today, before I go to his office for another meeting. I now have a new editor, and her name is Jasmine Zhang. Jasmine Zhang is a Chinese young, sweet, and beautiful lady that is down to Earth. Just as she is beautiful outside, she also has a heart of gold. "Hi, Charity. You are here?" She waved at me from her seat once I stepped inside the office, and I sauntered toward her."Good morning, ma'am. Did you have a wonderful night's rest?" I asked her, and she nodded her head as she smiled at me, revealing her perfect dentition."Yes, I did. What about you?" She asked me, and I nodded my head while replying to her with "I'm fine,"."Why don't you sit
