ANDY'S POV “Now that you have the deal, you're going to travel to China for the executive's meeting” Andy pointed out, typing away on his phone, probably setting appointments for Ricky.“Ah, yes” Ricky nodded, coming out from the bathroom. He just finished taking his bath and was drying off his hair with a towel.“Should I book flight tickets for Friday? The meeting is on Monday, so you can rest through the weekend” Andy looked up from his phone and flashed his extremely adorable smile at Ricky. Ricky smirked. His best friend was very handsome, and that he couldn't deny. He had always loved his adorable nature.“I think I'll be taking my private jet. I don't want any hassle” Ricky replied, picking out a dry-cleaned suit from his wardrobe. Andy helped him get ready, and he looked stunning as usual.“Great then. Let's get to the office, the staff is already waiting for the new directives” Andy said.They were about to head out when a knock came on the door. Ricky was irritated, he hat
RICKY'S POV “I'm not jealous, I don't know what you're talking about” Ricky answered without looking at Andy. “You know better than to make decisions when you're angry. Think Ricky! Think” Andy said and started leaving the office.“Where are you off to?” Ricky asked, stopping him.“Home. I have to attend to Riley, she called” Andy answered, but frankly, he wanted to go and be with Cassey, who now stays with him.“Okay, but be at the mansion on time tomorrow”“Of course, my Lycan King… And take it easy on the little girl, don't kill her” Andy said, referring to Laura. Ricky didn't say anything else, so he left. Ricky left for his mansion and went to check on Rhett first. The poor man had been brutalized badly, he was bleeding from everywhere, he was left on the cold floor, bare bodied and hungry. Ricky ordered his gammas not to kill him, he was going to do that by himself.“Look at you now, Rhett. What do you gain by running after things that belong to me?” He asked, taking quiet st
THIRD-PERSON POV Since Ricky had ordered for the arrangements for the making ceremony to begin, so Paulina and Gova had a lot of work to do. Nobody was surprised about this because Melo and Ricky were going to get married anyway. “Gova dear” Paulina called, after she was done giving orders to some omegas.“Yes ma” she answered, entering the kitchen.“You're going to the flower shop, I need you to pick out the wedding decorations and bride's flowers by yourself. I don't want any mistakes” Paulina instructed.“Okay ma” Gova replied. Paulina gave her the money and she left for the flower shop............Gova finished selecting everything she needed and was on her way out when she saw Melo walking past, it seemed like she was in a haste. Melo was obviously trying not to be recognized because she wore a brown overall over her dress and dark shades too. Gova decided to follow her and see where she was going in secret.Melo stopped in front of an old warehouse, the warehouse once belonge
“Yes mistress”“Where were you yesterday?” Melo questioned, still shooting daggers at Gova. The scared girl shivered and fiddled with her fingers, trying her best not to look suspicious.“Um… I went to the flower shop” she answered, her gaze fixed on the floor.“Really? And after that?”“No where mistress”“Liar!!” Melo fired, Gova flinched.“I saw you Melo, I saw you leaving from the old warehouse” she revealed and Gova gasped. She wasn't expecting to be caught.“Now you better listen to me, you little twerp, keep your nose out of my business, don't meddle in affairs that do not concern you. Make sure nobody else hears this, if not” she paused and looked around to make sure that no one was watching them.“If anyone hears what happened, I'll have you killed and tossed into a pit and nobody will ever know I did it. If you want to dare me, go right ahead and open your mouth, you'll regret it.Are we clear?” “Yes mistress, I'm sorry” Gova sobbed. Melo was powerful enough to do what sh
“Babe!!” Andy entered the room and met Cassey packing her bags in a hurry. He approached her and held her hand. Cassey who was scared, flung his hand away and continued to pack.“What are you doing? Please stop” he said, struggling with her. They continued to struggle until he grabbed both her arms and held them as tightly as he could. Cassey couldn't get free.“Let me go. I have to go!” She cried, breathing heavily as a result of all the struggling.“Did Rhett contact you?” Andy asked, annoyed by her behavior. Cassey bit down her lip.“Cassey, what exactly do you take me for? Did you think I would sell you off to Ricky?” He asked, letting her hand go and grabbing her waist swiftly. She squirmed in his arms.“You're his Beta” she whispered, sniffing back her tears.“You've been his friend since he was a boy, why would you betray him for me? A girl you barely know” she complained, tears flowing down her cheeks.Andy sighed, he wiped her tears with his finger and hugged her head to his
“Paulina! Paulina!” Andy called, rushing into the hospital reception with Ricky behind him. Paulina and Gova were sobbing on one of the benches. Paulina rushed to them as soon as she saw them.“What happened Paulina?” Andy questioned, Ricky had his head lowered, unable to lift the guilt he was feeling.Andy himself could not believe how much he started to care about a slave, maybe because he knew, how much Ricky really liked her, despite his refusal to admit it.“Well…" Paulina sniffed.“I found her unconscious on Ricky's bed. I tried everything to revive her, but she didn't budge. We had to rush her here, I'm scared she's…" Paulina paused and sobbed.“No, nothing will happen to Laura. She's stronger than she looks” Andy assured, giving Paulina a pat on the shoulder. “What's happening now?” He asked.“The doctor is in there with her. They asked us to wait” Paulina answered.Andy nodded and turned to look at Ricky, who still hadn't said anything yet. He nodded at him, and they went to
THIRD POV The two girls stood there, trembling and scared with no idea how to get out of the dark room. They felt around to see if they would find the door, but Laura stopped when she heard Gova scream."Gova!!" She yelled out, fear overwhelming her. Gova's screams faded until Laura couldn't hear her anymore. She only heard footsteps, in the distance."Rhett is that you?""Ricky?" She called into the darkness but nobody answered her. She was still there for several minutes, tears rolling down her cheeks.Laura felt a hand wrap around her arm in the darkness. She whimpered, unable to free herself from the strong grip. She was dragged out of the apartment forcefully, she didn't see who it was until they were outside."Ricky" her eyes widened. There was a sense of relief within her. Knowing that Ricky wasn't harmed, calmed her nerves. But he was partially cut on his left arm."You're okay," she said. He furrowed his brows at her."Don't speak Laura. Because of this stupidity you call
QWEN POV"Ricky, we are supposed to be planning our marking ceremony, but here you are, messing around with a slave!" Melo ranted, glaring at Ricky with her hands on her waist. Ricky sighed and rubbed his eyes tiredly. He still had a headache from last night's headache and Melo pulling him out to the hallway to rant didn't make matters easier."Melo, do you need anything?" Ricky questioned, ignoring her statement. "Yes, I need my Lycan King to be to actually be interested in our marking ceremony!" She demanded."Look Melo, I've given you what you wanted, haven't I? We're getting marked. Go ahead and plan the ceremony to your taste. I have other important things to attend to" Ricky said in a stern tone and Melo groaned.She wanted his full attention, but he wasn't ready to give it to her. For the past few days, every event has Laura in the middle of it. It's always about her and it's making Melo sick. She can't even remember the last time Ricky called her into his room."What importa
