WHITNEY'S POV I watched the young man swim to the handrail of the swimming pool with his left arm wrapped around Sophia who was gasping for air. He climbed up the stairs and helped Sophia to stand on her feet. He wrapped his arm around her waist and they walked slowly up the stairs and came out of the pool. Suddenly, Sophia slumped and fell to the floor and started gasping for air. The guy knelt beside her and started panicking. Fear gripped my heart and I ran to meet them. I knelt beside the guy and looked at Sophia's face. She was looking pale and feeble and groaning in pain. "Miss, I think she needs to be taken to the hospital. Please, stay here with her while I run to inform the Alpha," the boy said. Just then, I heard footsteps coming toward the backyard, and the boy and I turned to look to see the person. After some seconds, I saw Alpha Vicker come from the side of the house and looked in our direction. He stood transfixed for some seconds and gazed at us. "What i

WHITNEY'S POVI watched George as he was looking around the room in disbelief.After some seconds, he turned around and looked at me."Whitney, this room is lovely," he said with a smile."Yes, it is," I said as I walked slowly to the bed and sat down. "I find it hard to believe that Alpha Vicker gave you this room to stay. Vera and Felicia have their room downstairs and you are supposed to stay with them, so, why did he give you the room?" he asked with curiosity. I recall that Vera and Felicia asked me the same question when I just arrived at the house as well as Sophia. Now George is also asking me the same question. I felt my temper rising cos I find the question annoying. Why should they be asking me such a question when they know that I cannot stay here on my own without the permission of Alpha Vicker? "George, why are you asking me such a question? The person you should ask that question is Alpha Vicker cos he is the owner of this h

WHITNEY'S POV I woke up the next morning. I glanced at the time. It was twenty minutes after six. I got up from the bed and walked to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and had a warm shower. I walked back to the room and opened the wardrobe. I picked undies and a pink A-line dress. I slipped into them and picked up my hair brush. I stood before the mirror to brush my hair. The dress clung to my body accentuating my curves and I smiled at my reflection. I started brushing my hair, and after a couple of seconds, the doorbell rang. I glanced at the time. It was a quarter to seven. Who could that be? I wondered. I walked briskly to the door and opened it. Vera was standing in front of me and she was carrying my breakfast on a tray. "Good morning, Whitney," she greeted with a smile. "Good morning, Vera," I responded as I smiled back at her. "I brought your breakfast," she said. "Thank you." I moved aside from the doorway and she entered the room. She set the

WHITNEY'S POV As I sat in the waiting room waiting for Alpha Vicker, I watched the staff and patients in the hospital walking up and down. I thought Mark, the boy I earlier spoke to in the waiting room went to see his mother and might come back. After some minutes, I saw Alpha Vicker walking briskly toward me. I quickly stood up and went to meet him. "Whitney, I have just seen the lab technician. He said the test results will be ready in a couple of days but I want you to also do a pregnancy ultrasound scan to know the development of your baby as well as to know the sex of the baby. I spoke to the doctor and he is waiting for us. Is that okay with you?" Alpha Vicker asked. "Yes, it is. Thank you," I said. "It's my pleasure. I told the doctor briefly about you. I didn't want him to know that you were raped, so, I told him that I just employed you and you recently found out that you are pregnant. In other words, I made him believe you don't know how long yo

WHITNEY'S POV I was silent for some seconds as I gazed at George. I find it hard to believe that Alpha Vicker could be in love with me. I felt he was just pulling my legs. "George, will you stop kidding me?" I said. "I'm not kidding you," he said. I believe that you are," I said with an incredulous expression. "Well, I'm not," he said bluntly. It was then it dawned on me that he was serious. "Why do you think he is in love with me?" I asked. "I suspect he is in love with you because of his reaction when he saw me here yesterday," he said. I was surprised cos it was only anger I noticed when Alpha Vicker saw George in my room, so, what other reaction could he be talking about? I wondered. "George, Alpha Vicker was only angry when he saw you in my room and that was the only reaction I noticed," I said. "Well, I don't expect you to see what I saw cos you are a woman," he said. "Gosh! What the heck are you talking about? What has my sex got to do with what we are talking
