Author's POVThe whole room fell into a pit of silence, as they stared at the laid out paper in front them. Elizabeth fumed heavily as she stared at it. She couldn't believe her eyes. “Are you playing with me right now, Declan?” She blurted. Declan stared round the room like he was in the wrong place. His mother's eyes that trailed his every move like a predator marking its prey. She won't listen to whatever he has to say. To worsen it, he has nothing to say. Elizabeth growled again, “you had better have something reasonable to say about this?” “I… I…don't know mum.” Declan stuttered in response. Leila was practically laughing her head off at the mother and son duo. She had prayed to the goddess that Elizabeth would end up being disgraced over her need to take control. If only she knew it would be this soon, she wouldn't have bothered herself about worrying. The blueprint of the pack house design turns out to be fake. The said architect could not read any meaning to it. Even aft
Xander's POVThe papers in front of me seem like they were written in an odd language, I can't seem to figure out a thing. Aside this one, I can't figure out a lot of this. My father's company on one hand, and my supposed mate, Kira. I can't tell exactly what is going on in that pretty head of hers. Since the new guy who had registered into the gym through Miguel happens to be in town, her attention has been on him. If I knew this would be the outcome of his presence. I would have cancelled his membership that very day. But, if I keep sending off customers, how would I get to pay Miguel his deserved pay? It would have fared well with me if Carl as he is called had chosen every other time to come to the gym. Instead, he comes at the exact time Kira comes to train. And I have never wanted the attention to be on me like I craved for it now every morning. I thought it's said that, when you are mate with a person. No one else comes first except you. Mine is an exception though, the memb
Xander's POVThis had better be important like you claim it to be, Miguel.” I said, in a coarse voice. Getting my already planned moves ruined, didn't sound like fun at all. And I could hear Kira's jesting giggle behind me as I left. Entering the office, I picked up the call.“Yes.” I mumbled into the receiver.“Hello, good morning. Is this Xander Hemsworth, the heir to Hemsworth group of companies?”I rolled my eyes, I can't remember when I was ever referred to as an heir to anywhere. “Yes, who am I onto?”“This is Alfred Pierre, the legal consultant to the company. It has come to my notice that the board members, which consist of the shareholders of the company, are intending to sue Mr. Declan Stolkhom for indulging in some fraudulent activities with the companies monetary funds. Your signature is the last thing we require.”“How is this any of my business?” I inquired, yawning in disinterest.There was a long pause, I could almost imagine him taking the phone off his ear to affirm
Author's POVDeclan tapped his foot on the ground nervously, his palms were sweaty. He couldn't imagine his whole life going up in flames just because he listened to everything he was told by his mother. Everything came back to haunt him and not her.“Can you stop doing that, Declan?” Elizabeth scoffed in irritation. “You are not in my shoes mum, you can't tell me what and what not to do in this situation. Please.” Declan retorted. “What do you mean by that? Haven't I been here all this while, trying to help sort things out?” She defended. He snorts, “it would have been much better if you were the one in my shoes. It would have been easier to deal with. Can't believe this.” Declan hit hard at the table in front of him. Elizabeth could feel his pain. The only thing is she didn't feel guilty one bit. Knowing how cowardly, Declan is. She couldn't risk having her name being put out for being involved in fraudulent activities as regards her late husband's company. Declan's involvement
Kira's POVI am in a perplexed situation with two different men, one that I would love to rip his heart out and the other whom I would prefer to say my wolf Ayla loves so much. Even though I do want to jump into a nice cozy bed with Xander, I really don't want to get ahead of myself and have him humiliate me. It's our wolves wish to be in each other's arms, but considering the past the both of us have had encountering each other. We still aren't totally comfortable around ourselves. But, I'm sincere truth. I love his company. Being around Declan on the other with knowing all the plans he has to ruin me, just makes me angry every time. At the same time, if I intend to get to the root of my first death, I would need to gather as much evidence as I can to go against them.Xander had involved in a recent fight with Declan, resulting in a black eye for the both of them. As Declan's fake girlfriend I need to be with him to sympathize, and as Xander's mate I should be by his side. I just
Author's POVElizabeth stared confused at the computer screen, the petition against Declan stirred right in her face. As much as her name might have been saved, she still couldn't watch her son's life get ruined. “That bastard!” She spat in distaste at the thought of Xander, refusing to help them out. Declan has been in a depressive state, constantly worried on what would become of him if nothing is done. Aside that, he has been cranky towards her. Still shifting blames, one of the things Elizabeth's hates.But, there was a limit to what she can say, knowing it's all partly her fault for encouraging is bad spending habit. Her luxurious life wasn't left out, either. To think her savings was at the lowest and there is nothing to show for the massive money being moved from the company's account. Sighing, Elizabeth stood up, looking out through her office window. Every of the staff seem to be glancing towards the office and whispering to themselves. Her eyes suddenly shot up when they
Kira's POVSeeing my father open his eyes after what seem to be like forever had me over the moon. I had been distressed that he might not survive it. But, he eventually opened his eyes. Hasn't started talking yet, but I know he would with time.I stared at mum as she rubbed her palms slowly against his bare arm. I felt sad for her, she has been going through so much all alone, while I gallivant around seeking for revenge. Likewise, I really don't understand what is going on anymore. Likewise, I thought I knew how it would all begin and end, right now, the only thing I am aware of is the beginning. Everyone seems to be facing one personal problem or another. I was a bit worried, though, with my dad and Amber recuperating. Leila and Declan would definitely want to strike again. “You know that can't happen for now.” Ayla muttered.She was right, but at the same time I would need to act faster than they would expect. To keep everything in check. I have decided to keep my father and Amb
Xander's POVI knew dropping the bombshell of my latest decision on Kira like that wouldn't end well. Her eyes bobbed out of their sockets as she stared at me in disbelief. “Why would you not sign it and let him have what is yours?” She inquired, looking confused. I inhaled, holding up her hands. “Listen, Kira….”“No!” She cut in, “you listen! This was the only way to keep Declan away and also help you get everything that is yours. How could you let it go just like that? What are you planning.” “Probably if you listen to me. I might be able to tell you exactly why I did what I did.” I told her. Nodding, Kira shifted away from me and sat up on her own. I suddenly felt exposed because of her action. “Kira, I need you to really calm down and listen to me. This situation is far beyond our comprehension.” Her face fell at that, and she shifted closer to me. “What do you mean?” I finally got her attention. “So, there has been some shady deal ongoing in the company, and it's beyond th
