Chapter 22Irene's P.O.VDays turned into weeks and my life went from worse to worse. It dawned on me that Xavier abandoned me at the slave quarters. Since I have been abandoned here, I never set my eyes on him nor was I allowed to get closer to the main house.Every brand new day in the slave quarters was like torture to me. Lily and some of the maids spent most of the time picking on me and making my life a living hell.Tears were my companion every night and misery took the lead during the day. The only thing I was filled with was regrets! However, I didn't regret the fact that I ratted out Xavier to the Supreme Alpha, I regretted the fact that I had to be brought into this world only to live a life full of misfortune and hopelessness."Irene! Where's that bastard " I heard Lily scream my name on top of her lungs as I rushed towards her with my head ducked. "Ma'am" I muttered, fiddling with my fingers.I heard her exhale out loudly. She always did this if she wanted to control her

Chapter 24Irene's P.O.V I heaved a sigh, arranging the Persian royal plates into the cupboard. Strands of hair fell on my face but I didn't care either. Was I bothered about it? The sound of people trooping down the stairs that led to the kitchen jolted me out of my thoughts. I raised my head, looking towards the direction the noise emanated from. Lily and some maid walked into the kitchen with a whip in her hands, searching her eyes around as if she was looking for someone. Her gaze fell upon me and I could see the horror in her eyes, I ebbed to the wall as she came closer to me."You fucking slut! How dare you report me to my master?" She clutched the whip, swinging it in the air. I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat, trying to say something but I was at a loss for words to say. "You finally had a chance to be with your husband who abandoned you just a day after your marriage and you had the guts to report me to him? Uh," She raised the long whip.I knew that if I didn't

Chapter 26Xavier's P.O.VI glanced towards the direction where I heard the clicking sound of heels that came back as echoes in my ear. My mouth was agape, I was at a loss for words to say. She was fiddling with her fingers again and suddenly stood frozen on a spot when she caught sight of me.Her black obsidian hair tumbled over her shoulders with her lips glossed and appealing. Her eyes shone like stars were gathered inside and for a second, I couldn't believe that I was admiring this brat. I jerked myself back to reality, staring daggers at her. "Damian, please don't tell me that this is what you spent hours doing?"Damian took a step down the stairs, staring at her face before glancing at me."I think that she looks beautiful, she looks breathtaking." I scowled, scrunching my face in total disgust. "She looks more like an ogre," I taunted."I disagree, she is dashing. You should look more like this often" Damian complimented while I watched her mouth "Thank you." I rolled my eyes a

Chapter 28 Xavier's P.O.V Gracious lord! She went from always fiddling with her fingers all the time to her fingers trembling. She almost gnawed on it but I grabbed her hands before she could attempt that. "Why are anxiety and fear always evident on your face? Why are you even scared when I told you that I would be here standing by your side? You wouldn't even need to say a word except for some words and if you are asked difficult questions by the guests, I would always intercept for you before you start spilling trash,""And mind you, the Supreme Alpha would be present because he's one of the major shareholders in Axon. He pulled out his shares in my company, thanks to you" I said sarcastically and watched as she swallowed. I placed my hands on her's. "I will always be here with you, you can trust me. Nothing bad is going to happen" A wavering smile formed on her face as some men dressed in black suits, ran towards the direction of our car. I could see the fear in her eyes as she

Chapter 30Xavier's P.O.VI should have checked the invite list thoroughly. Well, there was nothing much that I could do to stop Kourtney from coming in the first place since her father was also connected to AXON. The more that I think about it, I think that I shouldn't only be worried about Irene, I should be worried about Kourtney who kept referencing Irene as a maid. Because, Kourtney had a mouth running like a tap, she was outspoken, yet lousy. What am I going to do about Kourtney? After she was whisked away by a friend, she still kept her eyes fixed on me. Mr Rodriguez, a reputable fashion designer in the fashion world, approached me. He extended his hand for a handshake and I reached for his hands as well as we both exchanged pleasantries. He averted his gaze from and fixed it on Irene who still held on tightly to me. He gasped on seeing Irene. "The rumors are true, she's your wife. She's so pretty" He complimented while Irene let out a soft chuckle. "Irene" She muttered, ext
