Aubrianne IvanovAs Miguel left to place our orders and fetch our drinks, Daniel chose to pick back up where we had left off. When looking at me, he smirked and said, "by the way, you know you are not so bad yourself. I must say you are stunningly beautiful."I laughed lightly, "stunningly beautiful, huh? Is that right?" I was happy he understood and moved on from the topic."Yes indeed, anyone in their right mind would agree with me without question," he said, so self-confident as if what he said was final.Shaking my head at his expression, I responded, "Well, it's all my mama.. that's for sure.""Oh really? Only mama, huh? So what about your dad? Anything from him?" He asks, now leaning back on the couch, a hand resting on the arm casually and a friendly smile.I sigh and shift slightly, feeling slightly thrown off by the question. Honestly, I did not expect to be talking about this so soon."I don't know anything about him except that I have his eyes. That is the only thing my mom

Aubrianne Ivanov POV.I knew in my heart that the questions would not leave me until then. Until then, it would continue to plague my mind until I could speak with Mr. Ivan Grey.They kept playing on my mind and piling up, too, annndd then thinking about the endless scenarios. Taking in a deep breath, I let it out, sighing heavily.Wow, this is too much! I haven't earned this yet, I don't deserve it, and this is strange. "Please, I can't accept this," I, out of nowhere, murmured almost to myself, feeling a bit undeserving of all this.Daniel came sauntering towards me, telling me yet again his favorite line, "strict orders were given, this," gesturing with his hands as he stretched them out with flare, "is no mistake, I assure you."That didn't make me feel any better. As a matter of fact, I felt worse. Trying to stay optimistic, I said, "very well."But then I blurted out what I needed to know."Question!" I sat on the edge of the bed. I was exhausted from all the things that were ru

Aubrianne Ivanov's POV.A quiver rushed through me, and my eyes darted all over the room, looking around and scanning to ensure I was alone, and no one was there. I sigh, as I know I am being silly, I am alone here, and the doors are locked. Ron is gone now. I was far, far away from HIM.Then, in the next instant, it was like the dam burst. I finally cried! I finally released the tears. I finally let it out and decided to deal rather than shove it deep down and fight it.I let the tears pour as I faced what had happened. I cried about what I went through, tears flowing nonstop. Liquid coated my cheeks with fury as I bawled and screamed into my pillow, heaving and gasping desperately for breath as I wailed uncontrollably.My stomach was constantly contracting as I remembered it all.He grabbed and pinned me on the wall, grinded on me, and groped me. I cringed away like I was trying to brakes from the memory and cried more.His eyes, how he looked at me with those crazed eyes, and it wa

Daniel GreyYou are not even jumping to conclusions. You are leaping. All Aubrianne had said was that she did not know her father or anything about him.But why is Alpha treating Aubrianne this way? When you think of it, there are not many options. Unless Alpha knew her father, or she was some distant relative or so.Again a stretch, ok Daniel. Enough!Oh, the mysteries of Aubrianne. I smiled as I remembered what started this infatuation in the first place, and maybe I just wanted to know everything for selfish reasons.I have to admit, I loved her from the moment I saw her. It was on that faithful day I walked into my dad's office, he was not there, but there she was.Strolling towards his desk, I zoned in, just browsing, he has been so busy lately, and I am next in line for the position of Beta in our community, so I am always eager to assist in any way I can, which is why I usually check in from time to time.The most beautiful woman I had ever laid eyes on was right there on his d

Daniel GreyThe next day, I woke up in a pool of sweat, realizing I had forgotten to turn on the air conditioning last night, and it was no longer early morning. The sun was already scorching hot, peeking through my window, which caused my room to heat up.I grabbed my phone and glanced at it frantically.Yup, it's already eleven thirty am, and I am late to visit Aubrianne. I must've been more tired than I thought, but then again, that's no excuse.I am sure dear old dad is up and has already had a couple of meetings for the day. I sighed, got up, and headed to the bathroom. I desperately needed a shower. My appearance was as if I had gone out for a run.I brushed my teeth, then took my sweet time having a shower as I scrubbed and rinsed. Then I dried and changed into slim-fitting black jeans, a white T-shirt, and a denim jacket.I had to make a stop to see my sister back at dad's. I wanted to invite her to meet Aurbianne. I ran my fingers through my hair, sprayed on some cologne, put
