The Alpha’s Lottery Wife CHAPTER 39
ZAVIER CROSSI woke up to the striking feature of Damon and Karla hovering over me, I wasn't sure how I got to the living room couch, but I know it was part of that moment, I tried to find peace with the fact that if I could just sleep I would wake up to Raini, hands on my cheek.But this isn't Raini and Damon and Karla looked worried."Where is Raini?" I demanded as if they knew where she was. I felt like the whole world had come crashing down on me. Raini, the love of my life, was missing, and her car was smashed. I couldn't believe it. It had to be a mistake. But as I looked at Damon's and Karla's worried faces, I knew that it was real."What do you mean her car was found smashed?" I asked, my voice trembling with fear.Damon spoke first. "We don't know much, but the police found her car in the middle of the road, and it looked like it had been in an accident.""Did they find Raini?" I asked, hoping against hope that she was okay.Karla shook her head. "No, they didn't find her. T

RAINI LAVERNEMy head was throbbing with pain, and I could barely see anything through the blurry haze. The sound of metal scraping against metal echoed in my ears, and I knew that something terrible had happened. I tried to move, but my body felt heavy and unresponsive. I could feel my life slipping away from me, and a deep sense of fear and panic set in.But then, I heard a voice. It was muffled and distant, but it was there. I strained my eyes to see who it was, but everything was still blurry. And then, I felt someone's hands on me, lifting me up and carrying me. The pain in my body intensified, but I was grateful for the warmth and comfort of the person holding me.As I was being carried, I tried to mutter something, anything to let the person know that I was alive. And then, I remembered his name. Zavier. I whispered it, hoping that he would hear me, that he would know that I was still here.The world around me started to fade, and I felt myself slipping away into unconsciousnes

ZAVIER CROSSI couldn't shake off the feeling of dread and worry that had been consuming me ever since Raini disappeared. Every minute that passed felt like an eternity, and I couldn't help but think about all the worst-case scenarios that could be happening to her.River and I had been searching all over town, asking people if they had seen her or had any information about her whereabouts. But so far, nothing had come up. It was like she had vanished into thin air.As we walked through the dark streets, I could see the worry etched on River's face. She had been a true friend through this ordeal,I had been searching for Raini for two days, scouring the city for any sign of her. My heart was pounding with worry and fear, every possible scenario running through my mind. I couldn't even begin to imagine where she could be or what could have happened to her.As I made my way down the street, my phone rang. It was River. I answered, my heart pounding in my chest. "Have you found her?" she

RAINI LAVERNE I woke up to the sound of the door creaking open, and there was the lady with the same eerie smile on her face. I tried to be cordial and asked her where I was, but her response left me with even more questions. Was I a prisoner or a guest? I didn't know what to make of it, but I had to keep my cool.She asked me what I wanted for breakfast, and I couldn't help but wonder why she was being weirdly niceI sat up in bed as the lady entered the room with the tray, and the smell of the food hit me like a truck. My stomach grumbled, and I realized I was starving. The lady placed the tray on my lap, and I looked down at it, trying to identify all the different foods.There was a plate of scrambled eggs, perfectly cooked with a sprinkle of herbs on top. Next to it was a mound of crispy bacon, the smell so strong that it made my mouth water. There was a bowl of fresh fruit, perfectly ripe and glistening with juice. And then there were the pancakes, fluffy and golden with a doll

RIVER LAVERNEAs I stepped into my house, I let out a deep sigh. The weight of the events of the day was still heavy on my chest. All I wanted to do was change into something comfortable and get back to Zavier's house to help with the investigation.But as I was heading to my room, my phone rang. It was my mum. I hesitated for a moment, debating whether or not to answer. But I knew she would worry if I didn't, so I took a deep breath and answered."Hey, Mum," I said, trying to sound as cheerful as possible."River, honey, how are you?" she asked."I'm good, just tired," I replied."That's not the River I know. What's going on? Is everything okay?" she pressed.I bit my lip. I didn't want to lie to my mum, but I also didn't want to worry her."Yeah, everything is fine. I just had a long day," I said, hoping she would drop it.But my mum wasn't convinced. "Are you sure? You sound...off," she said.I let out a frustrated sigh. "I'm sure, Mum. It's just work stuff. You know how it is."Th

RAINI LAVERNE I couldn't believe it when Bianca told me the masters wanted to see me. Fear coursed through me as I tried to imagine what they had in store for me. I looked over at Layla, who was now hiding in the hole again, and I wished I could have asked her for advice. But I knew I was on my own.As Bianca led me out of the room, I couldn't help but feel a sense of dread. The halls were dimly lit, and there was an eerie silence that seemed to hang in the air. I couldn't shake the feeling that I was being watched.Finally, we arrived at a large door, and Bianca pushed it open, gesturing for me to enter. I stepped inside and found myself in a lavish room with expensive-looking furniture and an ornate chandelier hanging from the ceiling. But my attention was quickly drawn to the two men sitting at a table in the center of the room.One of them was a tall, imposing figure with a stern expression on his face. The other was shorter, with a round face and a jovial expression that seemed

ZAVIER CROSS My heart was pounding in my chest as I watched the movements of the guards outside the abandoned warehouse. My team and I had been staking out the place for hours, waiting for the right moment to make our move. We couldn't afford to mess this up, not when there were lives at stake.Damon and Caleb were just as anxious as I was, their eyes fixed on the guards as we huddled behind a stack of crates. We knew we had to be patient, but the tension was almost unbearable.And then, as if by some stroke of luck, we saw an opening. The guard at the door walked away, leaving the entrance unguarded for just a moment. We seized our chance and made a run for it.But our luck was short-lived, as we soon ran into another guard. I tensed, ready for a fight, but to our surprise, the guard seemed friendly. He told us to go inside, that his boss wanted to see us.I exchanged a look with Damon and Caleb, but we didn't have much of a choice. We couldn't risk blowing our cover now. We followe

ZAVIER CROSSWhen we got home, I was skeptical of her claims, but I knew that since Giselle was my business partner, I could use that to my advantage and get more information out of her."So what's our plan now?" Caleb asked, breaking the silence in the room."We need to keep investigating," I said, "and I think Giselle is our best lead at the moment. We'll have to approach her carefully, though. We don't want to scare her off."Damon nodded in agreement, "I think we should split up and see if we can find any other leads while someone talks to Giselle. We need to cover as much ground as possible.""Sounds like a good plan," I said, "River, do you think you can keep an eye on Giselle and see if she leaves her house? Maybe follow her and see where she goes?"River nodded, "I can do that. But what should I do if she catches me?""Make up an excuse," Trinity Fay spoke up, "say you're lost or something. You're good at thinking on your feet.""Alright, I'll do my best," River said, determin
