“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
RHETT'S POV "You have to go back to New York. You have to get Andy to do what we want him to do" Rhett was insistent on his plan. Cassey had no other option but to go along with her brother's plans but with her own plan in mind. She decided to go back to New York but not to do what Rhett wanted her to do."Tomorrow morning, I'm sending you on the first flight to New York. Once you are there, I can concentrate on building myself again, while you and Andy get rid of Ricky for me" he said, finally picking up the fork and eating the food Cassey brought for him."Okay, Rhett. But what if Ricky finds out I'm there? He'll take me hostage" she reminded him. Ricky was still keeping an eye out for either one of them."I don't think Andy would let that happen, remember he loves you" he answered.Cassey was shocked by her brother's sudden change. He only cared about revenge and killing Ricky. She sighed and left for her room. She hoped that what she had in mind would work out and the feud would
RICKY'S POVAndy noticed how absent-minded Ricky was at the office that day. He was always distant during meetings and barely heard what any of the organizers were saying.When they were both in his office alone, he decided to ask him about it."Are you okay Ricky? You seem a little distant today" Andy asked, staring intensely at Ricky who was tapping his fingers non-stop on the desk."I don't know Damon... I hurt Laura and she's upset with me" he confessed much to Andy's surprise. "Wait.. did you just say Laura is upset with you? And you're sulking about it?" Andy snapped his head back in laughter while Ricky glared at him."What exactly is funny?" He queried."The fact that are in love with Laura and you don't realize it" Andy replied, trying to recover from his outburst."I am not" Ricky scoffed."If you know what's good for you, you better start trying to win her heart, or you might end up losing her for good" Andy pointed out."Even if you were right, what about my wedding? I pr
**Another flashback**At eighteen years old, emotionally damaged Ricky started to build his empire, bit by bit. He started to make a name for himself in the business world, he was known for his intelligence and cleverness in dealing with business even at such a young age. Ricky only had three people by his side who cared about him. Paulina, Andy, and Melo. They were always there to support his dreams and help him achieve the fame he sought after. Melo loved him so much, she would do anything for him, even if it meant displeasing herself. But lately, Ricky noticed that she was a bit anxious and distant. He didn't bother talking to her about it because he didn't want emotions to get in the way of his work.Ricky woke up one morning to discover that he had lost 70% of his shareholders. He quickly called in his managers and Andy, who all swore to know nothing about it.“That's not all, sir,” one of the managers said, shock evident in his eyes as he stared at his phone screen.“We've be
ANDY'S POV “The only problem is, I don't know how to get you out of the house since Ricky has given strict orders that you shouldn't go anywhere,” Andy said, after explaining his plan to Laura.Laura was pleased with the idea that Laura had, and she was willing to help. “You know you're the one person they actually listen to. So it's only wise if you play the part” Andy smiled.“Alright” she replied. The thought of having these two men wrapped around her finger made her blush. “I think I know how we can get me out of the house. You're Ricky's personal assistant, right? Just make sure his schedule for tomorrow is super packed, to keep him busy for hours, while I go out to see Rhett” she explained, he nodded.“What about the gammas? How will you get past them? Ricky ordered them not to let you out.”“Don't worry about that. I was known in my school as a troublemaker, I'll take care of it” she flashed him a sinister smirk and he chuckled.“If you say so. Please be careful. I'm going t
