Megan's POVKhalid and I hurried to the scene, and I noticed him desperately searching the area, his eyes fuming with anger at a ferocity I have never seen before. The area was clear which was a surprise. We had seen the men run in this direction, that, I am certain of, but the area was clear, there was no one here, I could feel that, and I know Khalid could feel it too.They weren't here which means that they had managed to escape somehow.Khalid must be disappointed, and angry, his eyes emitted those two emotions. I feel the aura around him turn to one of rage and he starts marching out of the woods, through the entrance and out to the apartment where the security guards occupy.I hurry after him, hoping that he doesn't go furious and do something he'd regret.On reaching the post, the guards bowed in greeting him, but he ignored their greetings and went into scolding them. Watching him spit fire, I felt my heart break for him. I understand his reason for being angry, he has every
Chapter 26 Megan's POV "Hey, it's okay." I said. His eyes were still wide in rage. His shoulders taut and I could see the veins pulsating from his shoulders. He was beyond pissed and if left alone would cause a carnage. A weapon of mass destruction. He picked up a bottle and flung it against a wall. I shut my eyes at the impact of the collision. He was probably imagining someone else." Do not tell me to calm down." He said, and I shut my mouth. Never did I think that he would get to this threshold of anger. If not for the twitch in his ears, I would have thought he wasn't listening." You need to calm down." I repeated calmly. He shot me another furious look and I recoiled a bit. Stomping towards me, I took a step back. "All these while, I've been living among my enemies? I need to end this once and for all." He said, as I watched on.He was scaring me with his anger. His eyes were glazed like he wasn't seeing anything. His rage-filled eyes bore into mine. I could read his thoug
Chapter 27 Alexis' POV " Why don't you swing it that way?" Khalid said, and Megan laughed hard at his impersonation of a tennis coach.Megan was the student who was not serving the ball well. " I didn't know." she complained, getting into character. " Next time, swing the bat like this." He demonstrated, and Megan nodded in seriousness.She paused, and spluttered, " This is hilarious." Megan said, laughing hard as she wiped the tears that spilled out of her eyes." You are not supposed to laugh. You are unserious." He reprimanded.She doubled in laughter again, slapping her knees at his expression. They were having fun, " I did better than others would." He said, watching them annoyed me, what the hell was this god forsaken show of affection?"Of course." Megan replied sarcastically, and Khalid smiled at her. " You are a really good coach. I promise to be better." She continued laughing, and I hissed. This girl has managed to etch her love in his heart that he was no longer at
Chapter 28 Aaron's POV "She sent a letter, sir." The guard told me, and I raised a brow. Who? " Alexis." He replied, as if he read my mind. One of the reasons I kept him close to me. What made her change her mind? She was pretty adamant the other time. I thought I would have to do a lot to get her on my side."Let me have it." said and he handed it over to me._I have decided to agree to your offer. However, we need to get some agreements signed, I'll see you soon._ it read, and I smirked. Perfect! Now it was going to be easier to get this out of the way, after that I get rid of all of them. " When did she say she was going to come again?" I asked, he shrugged. We were expecting a visitor. " Arrange the room for our visitor." " Hello?" A voice called outside my study and I recognized the owner immediately. I saw her through the window, when my guards were speaking to her.In order not to show too much excitement at the fulfillment of my plans, i maintained my stoic expression.
Chapter 29Megan’s POV. The knock came again, interrupting our conversation. I turned my head swiftly to see the physician entering the room, a grave expression etched on his face. Instantly, a sense of foreboding washed over me, and I braced myself for the news he was about to deliver.A sense of apprehension settled in the air, thickening it with an unspoken tension. Something was definitely amiss.That I was sure of!As the physician approached, his footsteps seemed heavy, as if carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. I watched his lips move, forming words, but the sound seemed distant, as if I was underwater. The gravity of the situation hung in the air, thick and suffocating.“Are you listening?” He suddenly asked, jolting me out of my thoughts. “Uhhh.....” I trailed off, laughing nervously and he nodded. “There’s an impending danger in the pack!” He said and my eyes widened. “What?” I swiftly turned to glance at Khalid who was at the edge of the seat. “What do
Chapter 30Alexis POV. I was in my room, lost in thoughts that I wasn’t conscious of my surroundings again. “Did I do something bad?” I couldn’t help but ask myself, as I facepalmed myself. On a second thought, I shook my head firmly when I was fully aware that I had done nothing wrong. “Should I not have accepted to his deal?” I asked myself, but shook my head defiantly. “I did nothing wrong,” I tried to convince myself, and I heaved deeply. It was Megan’s fault!Everything happening is her fault!I groaned deeply as I stared at her, and breathed deeply. “I did what I did to get what was mine back,” I thought and heaved deeply. “So it’s obviously her fault,” I muttered and breathed deeply. “She should never have tried to take what does not belong to her,” I thought with a smirk on. I facepalmed myself as I groaned loudly. Leaning back on my seat, I shook my head tiredly.If I said I wasn’t feeling guilty, then I would be considered as a big liar. “Should I have never sacr
Chapter 31Khalid’s POV. After thinking about it for a long time, replaying the events in my mind over and over, I came to a realization. Maybe I had been too hard on Alexis. The weight of my actions pressed heavily on my heart, urging me to seek for forgiveness. I knew I had to make things right, to apologize for my unwarranted anger and aggression towards her.With a determined stride, I made my way to Alexis's room. My thoughts were a whirlwind of emotions, a mix of regret, guilt, and a glimmer of hope for reconciliation. As I reached her door, my hand hovered uncertainly before finally pushing it open without bothering to knock.The sight that greeted me was unexpected. Alexis appeared preoccupied, engrossed in some task or another. It seemed as though she hadn't even noticed my abrupt entrance, which I was sure she did. Nevertheless, I forged ahead, my words tumbling out in a rush. I wanted to express my sincere regret for my behavior, to acknowledge the pain I had caused her
Alexis POV I let out a long, slow breath, feeling a wave of relief wash over me as Khalid finally left the room. For a moment there, I thought he was going to ask me about what I was drawing. The fear of being caught had sent my heart racing, but now, as I glanced at the closed door, I realized I had been overthinking things. Khalid hadn’t said a word about my artwork, and I couldn’t help but feel a mixture of gratitude and curiosity. I had been working on this drawing for weeks, pouring my heart and soul into it. It was a personal piece, depicting my innermost thoughts and emotions. Sharing it with anyone felt like exposing a vulnerable part of myself, and I wasn’t ready for that. But still, a part of me wondered if Khalid would appreciate it. He had always shown an interest in art, often discussing various techniques and artists with me during our conversations. As I sat back in my chair, I allowed my gaze to drift towards the drawing resting on my desk. The lines and colors
