“Drink! Drink! Drink!”"I’m too drunk already,” Sandra whined out, but her colleagues insisted, and the daughter of Franzel drank, and kept drinking, to the point that she almost blacked out. However, just like everything today, she could sense that things were about to go astray.And it wasn't even going to be about her drinking like a fool anymore."Come around people, I have an announcement to make!” Noah said and Sandra sighed again. Even though she was wasted and hurt, she still was curious as to what would happen with Noah.He probably wanted to shun her in front of everyone, why else would he call for a party when he knew she had an event to deal with? They all knew how events took a toll on people, so why had he even called her when she had been suffering for two whole days on an impromptu project?"As we all know, we have an opening for the design director,” Noah began and that caught Sandra’s attention.She had worked so hard to earn that position and maybe this time, Noah w

"Whatever. Anyway, remember that no one can bully you except me," said the Alpha who was bemused by Sandra's response. Goddess, she was perfect. In response, Sandra just nodded quietly at Aztec, but they both knew that it wasn't a show of meekness. She didn't want to talk about the topic anymore. When they were done with breakfast, Aztec looked at Sandra. He was worried about her and wanted her to take the day off since she looked a little pale. "Hey, why don't you take the day off? You don't look too good plus I'll need you to accompany me to the airport to pick up Derek, my grandfather,” Aztec said to Sandra, and for a moment, the Marshall Luna froze. She hadn't even thought that she would be meeting anyone from the Aztec family so soon. Of course, she had heard the rumors that there was someone important to the Alpha who was coming home, but of all of them did it really have to be the grandpa? It had barely been days so, what the fuck was even happening? What if the grandpa

With Aztec and Sandra gone, Mary looked around her, slowly taking in the beauty of Derek’s house and the gold that it was decorated with. This house cost more than her life and she knew it, maybe that could also explain the glint in her eyes and her unmatched desire for money and wealth through Sandra’s marriage of convenience. It was a little too different from what she had expected, considering the rumors were spreading around. Sure, it wasn't Aztec’s house so it wasn't as cold as expected, but maybe Mary had hoped that the Alpha had gotten his cruelty and toxicity from his grandpa. They were polar opposites. "Hi, I’m Raquel, Aztec’s little sister,” Raquel said when she noticed the tension at the table. She knew that her brother wouldn't like it if someone dared to disrespect his wife; and from what Raquel had noticed, Mary was walking in dangerous waters. "Hello Raquel,” Doctor Franzel, Sandra’s stepfather, greeted Raquel when he noticed that his wife was still in her own

"Mom! I've run out of money, transfer me $200,000!" A shrill voice snapped Mary out of her emotional breakdown about Sandra; she was too stressed about the girl and thought that she wouldn’t let the alpha give them the money they so desperately needed. She instinctively looked at her husband, hoping to the goddess that the Doctor had some solution to their crazy child’s desires. "What?” Mary asked, unsure of what she had expected from her daughter. "I need more money, mom!” "You can’t be serious right now, Scarlet. Why are you out of money again and at this time of the year?!'' Mary asked disbelievingly, pausing her steps. They were currently walking back to their estate which was a few blocks away from the old Marshall estate. She had given Scarlet a lot of money ever since the woman had disappeared on her wedding day, and now she was calling for more money. Damn, this girl was something else. "Hey, how can that little money be enough? I've lived away from home for a while

Now that Scarlet was back in town, she could get her identity back and wouldn't have to live as her ungrateful sister. She looked like she was thinking on overdrive and Aztec wasn't the least bit elated by that. He had saved her, the least she could do was appreciate the gesture, no? "I have just saved your life, don't you want to say something to me?" Aztec said to Sandra in the same tone she was using with him. He was disappointed, but he knew she was startled and maybe that's why she was in that state, but what if it was because she just didn't want to see his face? "Fine, thank you," Sandra said expressionlessly, her mind while elsewhere. She couldn't believe what had just happened and wished she could get an explanation. Aztec on the other hand looked satisfied with Sandr’s response and smiled at her, making her an offer. "Do you want to have lunch with me?" “No. I still have work and you have work too. Besides, you have no business being here at this time,” Sandra said befor
