The Alpha's Reluctant Bride CHAPTER 36: Understanding Boyfriend
-=Martina's Point of View=-The following day, I accompanied Annie to where her electric bike was parked; she was already ready to leave, and all her belongings were tightly arranged on her bike."I will be taking my leave now, Martina, and I expected you to do what you promised," she said, smiling, but beneath that calm voice, I could detect a hint of threat. I just laughed at her and told her to expect me later that night once I was done with whatever I needed to do."Can you just finish it now, so we can go together instead of you going at night?" she asked."It would take some time for me to finish my business, and instead of you waiting for me, just go ahead and enjoy your rest day; I will follow later, I promise," I said, adding the last part to put her mind at ease."Ok, but whatever happens, text me, ok?" she asked."That I can do, and see you later," I said.She didn't stay that long and left, and I waited for her to completely disappear from my sight before finally deciding
The Alpha's Reluctant Bride CHAPTER 37: Another Nuisance
-=Martina's Point of View=-Honestly, I didn't know that I would be having a blast while staying in Annie's town. I was worried about how I could act like nothing was bothering me, considering that I really wanted to be with Kian at first. Still, after having another dinner with Annie's family and spending time talking about anything under the sun, I found myself really enjoying my time here.Listening to Mr. and Mrs. Thomas talk about their daughter made me know more about Annie, and I could tell that I was so lucky to have a friend like Annie."I'm lucky to have Annie with me in the castle," I said.I didn't elaborate on how I was lucky to have her with me, since it was something personal, and I didn't want them to know of my circumstance of being married to Zion.It was around ten when we all finally decided to go to sleep, but before going to bed, I decided to take a quick shower before sleeping."Aren't you going to take a shower?" I asked when Annie didn't show any indication of
The Alpha's Reluctant Bride CHAPTER 38: A Liar
-=Martina's Point of View=-I couldn't help but notice that some of the girls I was with seemed like they were feeling giddy while looking at the newcomer. Well, in all fairness to him, he is an attractive guy, like a boy-next-door type of guy.I had my fair share of encounters with guys like him in school, and I can say that I'm into people like him even now. But, of course, that's just my personal opinion, and besides, Kian was way more handsome than he is."A thousand times goodlooking, no, make it a million times!" I thought to myself, maybe exaggerating a little bit."Sorry, but we had to decline," I said without returning his smile.Upon hearing my reply, the smile on his face waivered, but he still tried to maintain it and composed himself, which I actually admired.He probably didn't expect a rejection right away, but I don't feel that it was right for Kian or Zion for me to talk to another guy."Then, is it okay for you to be in a relationship with Kian when you're actually m
The Alpha's Reluctant Bride CHAPTER 39: Pestered by a Fly
-=Martina's Point of View=-I managed to stay away from Jackson and his arrogance thanks to the help of my friends, but I was pretty sure they were happy to oblige since they managed to steer Jackson away from me. Like I said, Jackson is really good-looking, and some of the girls are honest and say that they like him, which is understandable. But as a good friend, I thought of giving them advice, but they didn't see to mind what I said."Well, it's their decision anyway," I thought to myself.I know all of us are the same age or almost the same age, and I didn't really experience having a boyfriend before getting married, but still, these girls seem to be sweet and naive, and they don't have any idea what kind of guy Jackson was. I saw the like of him way back in school, but again, it's still their decision, and I just hope they make the right decision.It was around three when we all decided to pack up and leave, and I didn't even glance at Jackson when we got into the car, although
The Alpha's Reluctant Bride CHAPTER 40: My Boyfriend
-=Martina's Point of View=-"I am having such a terrible evening!" I thought to myself.I couldn't comprehend how a perfect girls' night out would suddenly turn into a night of frustration and irritation just because of one guy, and that guy is just sitting on my right side inside the cinema.I didn't know how he managed to get a seat next to me, but I guess shit happened, and there was nothing I could do to avoid him.Annie offered to change seats with me, but I declined, and my reason for that was because I didn't want Jackson to think that I was weary of him. Maybe I am, but not in the way he was probably thinking.Perhaps I was too quick to assume that he thought I was just playing hard to get in the hopes that I'd eventually warm up to him. But, to be clear, even if hell did freeze over, that kind of thing would remain an extremely unlikely event—a chance so inconceivable that it's almost non-existent."I would rather stay married to Zion," I thought to myself, and I was shocked
The Alpha's Reluctant Bride CHAPTER 41: A Dangerous Man
-=Martina's Point of View=-I was too scared to turn around, but I had no choice but to do so, and then I finally saw Annie looking at me. I didn't see any anger on her face, which confused me."Didn't she see me kissing Kian?" I thought to myself.If she didn't see me, then that was a good thing; however, how could I explain to him why I was with a man at this hour?I was holding my breath while waiting for Annie to get close to me. I didn't bother looking at Kian, but I could imagine his worried expression as well.We agreed to keep our relationship a secret, but because of what happened, I didn't think that we could still hide what was really going on between us."I can explain, Annie," I immediately said as soon as she was a few feet away from me and Kian."Explain what?" She asked, looking confused, but her expression was making me confused as well."About us," I said.I know it was still too early for her to know about me and Kian, but given the circumstances, I have no choice b
The Alpha's Reluctant Bride CHAPTER 42: Reunion
-=Martina's Point of View=-It felt like the time was dragging for too long, or maybe it was just me since I kept on looking at the time, and when I checked again after waiting for ten minutes, I saw that it was only one in the afternoon.A deep sigh escaped my lips without me noticing it, and unfortunately, Annie, who was with me in the garden, heard it."What's wrong, Martina?" she asked."Nothing," I replied, trying to act like there was nothing bothering me, but Annie knew me better now after spending time with me since I arrived on this island, and she knew if I was trying to hide something or not."I don't believe you," she said, looking at me knowingly.I decided not to speak as I continued staring at the tulips in front of us, and after a few minutes had passed, Annie decided to speak again."Is it about Jackson?" she asked.I suddenly looked at her after hearing the name, and I could see a knowing look on her face, as if she was sure that was what was bothering me.I didn't t
The Alpha's Reluctant Bride CHAPTER 43: My Husband and My Lover
-=Martina's Point of View=-I still couldn't believe that after all these months I would finally see him again, but what perplexed me was the fact that he was standing in the middle of the rain alone."Is that really you?" I asked."Yes, Martina," he replied.His voice sounded the same as I remembered it, but this time, his voice didn't unnerve me compared to before.The only possible reason was that during his absence I learned a great deal about him, how he is kind to everybody, especially to the people on this island, and of course, about me and my dad."What are you doing here?"He was about to answer when he was stopped by a voice from behind me, and even without looking, I recognized that voice as Zeke."Master Zion, I told you not to go out," he said worriedly.Maybe I was just thinking too much, or maybe I was just imagining things, but I felt that there was something off about the way Zeke talked to Zion."I didn't expect for the rain to fall again," he replied.He appeared t
