A Secret To Keep.Summer's POV.As we made our way to work, the atmosphere inside the car was unusually silent, and my gaze remained fixated on the captivating bracelet adorning my hands. The intricacies of its engravings caught my eye, hinting at both beauty and expense, yet their meaning eluded me.Feeling fatigued, I released a sigh that managed to grab his attention. His eyes briefly shifted towards me, but in the blink of an eye, they returned to the road, as if nothing noteworthy had happened.Noticing a subtle change in his behaviour, I sensed that something was amiss, but I opted not to initiate any conversation, fearing it might draw unwanted attention. Despite my silence, it was evident that he had picked up on the rhythmic beating of my heart, adding a layer of tension to the otherwise quiet car ride.The prolonged journey eventually came to a halt, and I observed his swift exit from the car. Intrigued by what might have occupied his mind during the entire drive, my mus
You Are Mine, Clear?Summer's POV."Yes, sir,” I corrected myself. “Excuse me.” I walked out of the office to the coffee maker in the hallway, and with a frown on my face, I began to make the coffee.The way he acted toward me made me feel like a stranger to him. At first, he asked me to be his secretary and act like we weren't mates, and now he wanted me to call him sir. What next?Once I was done, I carried the plastic cup and moved to his office with my shoe, making a clack sound against the ground.“Here's your coffee, sir."He gestured for me to come closer.“Place the cup on the table.”I nodded, dropping the cup.“Please excus…”I was about to take my leave when he spoke.“Where did you get the coffee from?"I furrowed my brows, with crease lines appearing on my face.“The coffee machine is outside. The one in the hallway."“I can't drink this! Get me another one."I deepened my frown. “Why?” “Because I can't. Go down the stairs and get me good coffee, and when you're coming
Summer's POV."What do you mean?" Perplexed, I inquired with a worried expression. Despite my efforts to understand her cryptic statements, the meaning eluded me.Ava sauntered confidently toward us, positioning herself between Jackson and me, wearing a smirk that seemed intent on conveying something. It felt as if she aimed to prove a point, but her words had taken an unexpected turn.Even Jackson, whom I anticipated to question her, remained silent.While I maintained my quiet demeanor, my attention was drawn to the white envelope in her hands. A wide grin adorned her face, and she exuded an excitement akin to that of an excited five-year-old. Turning to Jackson, who remained in a state of confusion, Ava seized his hands before dropping the white envelope into them.Throughout this, I maintained a silence, my concern deepening as I pondered the contents of that mysterious letter.Jackson, wearing a furrowed brow, gradually opened the envelope. As he extracted the letter, a sense
Alexander's POV.I abruptly woke up in a startled manner, swiftly rising from my bed. As I shifted my gaze towards the clock, my eyes widened with realisation; the children were close to being late for school, and the blame would squarely fall on my shoulders.My heart thumped resoundingly in my chest, and I found myself involuntarily swallowing hard as I turned away from the bedside, only to find out that she was still peacefully asleep.A smile graced my face as I reminisced about the delightful moments we shared the previous night. Succumbing to a mischievous impulse, I bit my lips, revelling in the memories, until the sudden intrusion of thoughts about our kids snapped me back to the present.With a sense of urgency, I leaped out of bed, hastily donned my clothes, snatched my jacket, and made a swift exit from the room, determined to rectify the situation before the morning chaos escalated.I quickly scanned my surroundings, but there was no sign of anyone in the vicinity.Ponde
Alexander's POV.I observed Jayden, lost in contemplation throughout the ride to Williams Place.Speeding through the drive, my urgency stemmed from the desire to confront the issue at its source before school took precedence.Silence enveloped my son until we reached the destination. I felt the rhythm of his anxious heart and sensed the tight grip on my hands."Dad, can we just go back? I don't want to," he pleaded."You have to face your fears. These are the most important lessons in life. You might become a great leader tomorrow, but if Jeremiah becomes an enemy, you need to know how to handle it," I advised, emphasising the importance of confronting challenges head-on.Jayden pondered, his lips tightly pressed, grappling with uncertainty. Determined to guide him, I encouraged him to make a decision and accompany me into the house.As we stepped out of the car, I ensured my son stayed close, walking alongside me until we reached the door.I knocked on the door, my eyes attentivel
Alexander's POV. "Is that clear?" I demanded, making sure my words echoed with authority, ensuring that Willson not only heard but also obeyed without question or hesitation. I needed to assert my dominance, leaving no room for uncertainty in our interaction. "Yes, Alpha...!!" he began to say, but at that very moment, he vomited on the floor, changing the living room into a disgusting and infuriating space for me to endure.Without a moment's pause, I firmly grasped my son's hand and swiftly led him behind me, ushering us out of the house and toward the waiting car.I helped him open the door, and he climbed into the car slowly and carefully. At least, my work at Elder Willson's house was done, and it was time to get back home.At this juncture, it became abundantly clear that the boys wouldn't be making it to school. It was destined to be a day spent at home for all of us.I confidently walked to my car door, climbed in, and closed it firmly before turning around to glance at Jayd
Alexander's POV. "We are going to see your Grand Alpha!" I instantly stepped on the car's accelerator as it propelled the car forward. I wouldn't have gone with Jayden to meet him but then I just needed to because I couldn't drop him off at the mansion. Jayden didn't question me anymore, knowing who I was referring to. They had seen him the day he came to the mansion, and seeing how cold he was, I bet Jayden was scared of him too. It was a lengthy journey to my dad's mansion, but then I was willing to see him, end things with him, and leave quickly. After what felt like eternity, we soon reached the gates of the mansion, and the second I identified myself, the gates automatically opened. "Whoa, Daddy, did you see that?" Jayden's excitement peaked as he witnessed the gates automatically unlock. It wasn't a new thing to anyone, but maybe because he was still a child, it interested him so much that he just couldn't help but exclaim in such a way. I steered into the mansion's park
Alexander's POV. "Claim them as yours now that you still have the chances to do so! Make the Triplets yours and trust me, you won't regret it!" The moment my father uttered those words, everything around me seemed to freeze. The intensity of his statement yanked me out of my comfortable seat, causing my body to jolt with a mix of disbelief and hatred towards him. "What?" The shock and anger in my eyes were evident as I tried to process the enormity of what he had just said. How could this be? I couldn't understand the fact that my own father would make such a proposition to me.I had come to see him for a different, more genuine reason, but it became evident that his intentions were far from noble. "Don't make it look like such a big deal, Alex!" My heart raced, pounding heavily in my chest like a war drum as his words reverberated through my mind.In that moment, I felt an overwhelming sense of shame, not only for myself but also for my father. The audacity of his nonchalant r
