Now that Scarlet was back in town, she could get her identity back and wouldn't have to live as her ungrateful sister. She looked like she was thinking on overdrive and Aztec wasn't the least bit elated by that. He had saved her, the least she could do was appreciate the gesture, no? "I have just saved your life, don't you want to say something to me?" Aztec said to Sandra in the same tone she was using with him. He was disappointed, but he knew she was startled and maybe that's why she was in that state, but what if it was because she just didn't want to see his face? "Fine, thank you," Sandra said expressionlessly, her mind while elsewhere. She couldn't believe what had just happened and wished she could get an explanation. Aztec on the other hand looked satisfied with Sandr’s response and smiled at her, making her an offer. "Do you want to have lunch with me?" “No. I still have work and you have work too. Besides, you have no business being here at this time,” Sandra said befor
The morning was beautiful, with the sun finding its way above the horizon a little earlier than planned. The once chilly weather was welcoming the warmth and the clouds were making way for the clear sky. At the Franzel house, the parents were already up, and had managed to do their duties as early as possible for the sake of the visitors they would have today. The maids had everything neat, and the house was perfected to the point that anyone would think they were expecting a king. The Franzels may have outdone themselves, but they were proud of the setting. However, they were still worried about their daughter who hadn't shown up despite the agreement with Mary. This was all a gamble, and if Scarlet didn't join the table, then the gamble would be for nothing and the Franzels would once again lose everything they thought was important to them. "I don't think she will come,” Doctor Franzel said when the clock hit half past nine that morning. He wasn't impatient, but he knew his
Lunch did come by fast and right on time, the Marshall Alpha and his Luna made a show. Of course, Sandra had thought a lot about her mother’s insistence on the damn lunch, but when she saw Scarlet at home, she knew what they would try to do. She was hoping that the transition be fast, but first, she needed to talk to Scarlet and sort things out. She needed an explanation from her sister about why she was forced to endure a life that wasn't even supposed to be hers. Sandra was pissed and once again, Aztec noticed. One thing he had noted was that Sandra’s family gave her serious anger issues."Come on in,” Mary said and Sandra just forced a smile as she respectfully yet coldly responded, "thank you, mother.”"Hello Sandra, it’s been a while,” Sandra greeted Scarlet, her own name making her want to puke considering the person she was referring to. This family had the ability to make her angry by simply existing but Sandra would try and see things to the end of the fiasco anyway."Hello
“Do you regret running away from the marriage now?" Sandra continued when she saw the mini-shock on Scarlet’s face even though she had seen that face one too many times. It was the face that proved to Scarlet once again how dumb she had been to make a stupid decision again. Here and now, Sandra was genuinely curious as to whether Scarlet felt bad for ditching her wedding."That, is none of your business, sister,” Scarlet said, straining out the word sister like it was poison on her lips. Life had brought them together and she had made her sister a helpless creature bound by so many chains and yet for some reason, she wasn't even complaining about the fact that her sister had been forced to replace her. The only thing that mattered to dear Scarlet was the fact that the Alpha was handsome, what a wimp.“You're lucky to be married to such a handsome man anyway!" Scarlet added sarcastically like her heart wasn't aching tenfold. She hated that she was a mess and had been a little too fo
That afternoon, Scarlet was the first to show up at the Gilmore cafe. She had a lot on her mind and wanted to find better ways of getting Sandra away from the man meant for her. It was a crazy idea even for her, but the fact that her mother hadn't given her any money in the name of the Alpha, had pissed her off so much. Then again, she hadn't even stayed till dinner to know whether she would be getting the money or not. 'I could have had the Alpha and yet I’m stuck with an omega, what a joke,’ Scarlet thought to herself as she waited for her boyfriend. Alfred was a young and handsome man who fascinated Scarlet in all the ways possible. She loved him too much but clearly, she loved money and power more. Her greed and lust for a better life had forced her to come to this cafe and now that she thought about it, it wasn't exactly a bad idea. After all, she always wanted to be with the powerful in society. Ten minutes later Alfred walked through the Gilmore doors, looking handsome a
When they had come from the Franzels, Aztec had decided to take Sandra to a restaurant instead of gig home or even the company as he had said he had business to do. So being the woman that she was, Sandra questioned her husband, considering his new attitude was scaring her more than the times when he blatantly told her to her face that he would always love Beatrice. It was always easier dealing with an enemy you knew but this time, this woman didn't know whether Aztec was playing games with her, and that scared the shit out of her."Why are we here for dinner? Didn’t you say you had stuff to take care of at the house of Marshall or was that just an excuse?” Sandra asked and the Alpha just smiled at her, while he looked at the menu, like he was so famished. For people who had just eaten at the Franzels, either they had an appetite or Aztec was trying to lighten up Sandra’s mood, considering she had barely eaten at her house. This man was giving her mixed signals and she hated it so
"What exactly do you want to say?" Alpha asked impatiently as he looked at the woman before him. He was supposed to be in love with her and maybe he was, but why was he feeling terrible for leaving Sandra at that diner alone? Why did he feel like the biggest asshole in the history of assholed? Damn, the Alpha wanted to get out of here but he wanted to know what Beatrice had found out about Sandra. Aztec had himself to his beta to look into Sandra and now that Beatrice was saying she had something for the Alpha, it had to mean something then again, why did she even investigate Sandra? Or did his best friend tell her? Well, Rodrigo may have been an emotionless beta but he knew better than to betray Aztec. That would equal a death sentence for him and the Alpha everyone was scared of would surface. "Be quick about it, I have places to be tonight,” Aztec said and Beatrice just let out a huff. She had hired someone to investigate Sandra a few days ago and the secrets she had found
[SANDRA]Back at the restaurant, Sandra was still waiting for Aztec. She hoped that he wouldn’t ditch her, so she kept on eating, while watching people stream in and out of the restaurant. She looked like a woman who was desperate for company and sure enough, there were a few men who offered to be seated in the palace Aztec had once been. Sandra looked at the plates before her and the empty seat. It was then that she knew that maybe she was waiting for nothing. Maybe all she was doing was being hopeful for something that wouldn't even be real. She wasn't sure why she had stayed this long, but maybe, just maybe she needed to choose ehrslef this once. It was already bad enough that the men were coming at her like she needed consolation. The empty seat to them, made them think she was dumped and now, she had to face the wrath of society. Sandra couldn't believe this. It had been Aztec’s idea to go eat at the damn restaurant and now he was ghosting her."Classic Aztec, I wonder what I
