Mr. Knight's POV" Don't pour him another glass." Aubrey's voice permeated the air and the bartender stopped pouring the glass. I was annoyed at her audacity. How dare she come here and try to make orders?I growled in warning and the bartender wore a conflicted look on his face, he didn't know who to obey. " Don't make me do something drastic." Aubrey narrowed her gaze at him causing him to be afraid and I looked at her.She was dressed in stilettos and a flaming red gown. It was as if she was going to a party. This tiny woman putting fear in a full-grown man's heart was so amusing. She jutted her chin daring him to disobey her. The bartender shot me a pleading look and I decided to come to his rescue. " You can leave." " But sir..." " Leave." I replied. I was the only patron today.He picked up his keys in a hurry and rushed off not before shoving them in Aubrey's hands before exiting. We were thrown into silence and I poured myself the drink. Her heels clicked towards me but I
Mr. Knight's POVDread mixed with regret filled the pit of my stomach when I read the contents of the letter that Aubrey wrote. "Dear, Mr. Knight, it's with deep regret that I write this note to you. Staying with you has been a wonderful experience and I wish that it could continue but due to reasons best known to you, we are finally apart. I want you to know that I regret uttering those words to you. It was because I was afraid to let you make decisions for me. I wish you all the best.” Love- Aubrey. It wasn't that long but I felt the emotion in the note she wrote and my wolf howled inside of me, berating me for allowing his mate to go away when I could stop it. He wanted to see his mate. He gnawed at the back of my skull trying, but I fought against him. when he saw that he didn't win, he howled in my head and whispered despicable of me. I didn't reply him because he had every right to. Let her experience life and if she decides to return, she is highly welcome. I told him. Un
Mr. Knight's POVAnna flew out of his embrace the moment she saw me. She grappled for momentum as she smothered her skirt to sort out the creased lines present. She patted her tangled hair. " Good to see you too, brother. Stop fidgeting." He scolded Anna who went still at his rebuke.It looked surreal to me, but I schooled my features and watched their interaction. Their gazes fell on me in anticipation as they expected me to explode. But I smiled inwardly. That shows how negligent I was not to notice that my reliable P. A and my brother were having an affair. George rose to his feet and I looked at him. He was the most stubborn of my mother's children and seeing him here only spelled one thing, " Trouble is here." "I'm sorry if you feel awkward seeing my pretty girlfriend and me making out on your couch." He said with a smug smile. It was only Anna who had the decency to be bashful. Her head was bowed and all I could think of was how long this had been happening and no one bother
Aubrey's POV This was what I wanted, to leave the place where I was confined. The place I felt like he was watching each of my movements, but why was I missing it now? That hot gaze sent a tingle down my spine and made me feel so safe. Why was I missing the warmth of his embrace? And that smile of his, the one that makes me weak in the knee. Why do I feel like I shouldn't be here like I am in the wrong place? I bumped into an old woman and apologized immediately. She shot me a glare and walked away muttering something that I couldn't catch. I sighed before looking for a place to sit. I spotted a cafe shop not far from where I stood and walked over. A bell jingled as I closed the door. The tantalizing smell of coffee beans teased my nose making my mouth water. Only a few people were occupying the place. I went to the table at my left not far from the door and overlooking the busy street. I sat down and looked outside the big window. People walked past their various workplaces, ca
Aubrey's POV " Who is that?" Alexis called from within and I arched backward. " Uh, a neighbor. I will be back soon." I told her and stepped out of my room. I didn't want her in the room because it was going to beget questions from the inquisitive Alexis. With Josh's presence, adding Claire to the mix was going to fuel her curiosity and we can't have her knowing these things. " Why are you here?" Claire looked at me, " You promised to help me talk to Declan, but you haven't." She said. "Uh... We are no longer together. So I guess both of us are in the same shoes." I replied. A glimmer of satisfaction shone in her eyes and I remembered Meg's warning, " What did you do this time?" She asked.I looked at her, how did she know that?" Pardon me?" I asked and she shook her head." It's nothing, I was just wondering about how to reach him. I saw Josh leave this place not long ago." She said and I looked at her.Was she watching me? " Oh, no, I was just passing by in the neighborhood
Aubrey's POV " Are you kidding me?" Alexis asked in surprise after I finished telling her what transpired between Miss Bella and me." She is beautiful, why does she want a married man?" She asked me. I shrugged, " I don't know. I was in complete shock when she told me." I replied and shook my head to get rid of the image of the venomous look Bella had. " She threatened me." "There should be a way for us to report this to the school." She said and placed her hand on her waist. " What do you say?" She asked.I shrugged, " I don't think she will follow through with her threat. She might have said it in the heat of anger." I replied. I was surely going to report but I didn't want Alexis to be aware of it. Alexis shook her head in disbelief at my statement, " I don't believe you. That wasn't a mistake it was a very intentional statement. Who knows what she is capable of? What if she fails you? Make you resit exams continually or send people after you? What if she tries to attack you?"
Aubrey's POV" Why?" I asked her in surprise.The waitress looked uncomfortable, " I don't know. He just ordered this for you and your friend." She said. Alexis smiled, " Thank you. Did he leave a name?" She asked excitedly and I rolled my eyes. She was happy for free food. Didn't she know that not all free things are profitable? " No, he said that he's a friend."" That's...." I nudged her hard and smiled at the waitress, "Thank you." I said. The waitress walked back to her position, and I looked at the croissants. I'd never experienced a stranger buying me things before, " Do you think we- I should take this?" I asked Alexis who was enjoying her pint of ice cream. " Well, it's not like he can poison you. He only paid for what you ordered and added an extra. What's the big deal?" She shrugged. " You are a freeloader." Her mouth fell into a pout and she placed a hand on her chest, " That's so heartbreaking. I never expected you to say that." I rolled my eyes at her theatrics,
Aubrey's POV " Are you okay? Aubrey? Aubrey?" Alexis hit my arm, and I snapped back to the present. " Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.""You are far from fine. Why did you space out like that?" She asked and I didn't say anything. " Are you sure that you're okay?" She asked me. Her face filled with concern. " Yeah, I'm good. I just need to make some calls." I told her and she nodded, her gaze fixated on me in concern. She didn't believe me but I didn't have the time to convince her." Okay," She replied and I walked a few steps away to be out of ear shots." Hello, Josh." I called the first person who came to my mind. He was the best person to inform. It was you direct to be a coincidence, " I think I have a stalker." I told him. " You don't say." He replied. Then I narrated everything that had happened, " What do you think?" I asked him. He sighed, "I should have known. I told him that it was a terrible idea." He said and I scrunched my brows. " Told him what? Known what?" I probed. " I
