CHAPTER 72Selene’s POVI paced back and forth in the room, chewing down on one of my fingers with my eyes glancing once in a while to the door. He would soon be back. He would soon be back and I would hear whatever happened.I had never been so humiliated in my entire life like this before. All because of a girl. One stupid girl. Annoyance coursed through me, coupled with anger and irritation. I was in Arnold’s study, waiting for him to get back. All because of a Keleigh, Ryker told a guard, me, Selene, he told a mere guard to drag me out of the room.Threatened and gripped me, all because of her. I clenched my jaw in anger, my legs swaying back and forth with no intention of stopping till Arnold walked inside the door. I need to know the outcome of what happened, and need to plan my next action quickly. I was no fool to whatever that was happening.Ryker wanting her was already making Arnold want her to. The dining together, him not wanting to touch me, going to her door, his usele

Chapter 74Keliegh’s POVA loud bang woke me up from my sleep and a banging ache settled in my head. I stifled a yawn, my eyes still containing some of the sleep in them as I waited for the doer to knock again. If there was none, I’ll gladky return to my sleep. My eyes were still wide open when the knock echoed in again, annoying me as I stood up and approached the door. The rest of the sleep in my eyes vanished as my eyes met Selene. She didn’t bother taking it easy on me; pushing me away from the door as she stepped in.She locked the door and walked inside, taking her seat on the dressing chair before looking at me, “we need to talk.” I walked towards my bed and sat on the edge, my eyes sizing her up in case she was here for any other thing.“I don’t think we share any mutual interest on anything..” I said slowly, waiting for her to talk.“We share. On the brothers. On my mate.” She retorted.So this was what it was all about again. The brothers. I heaved a sigh. “What about the

CHAPTER 76Arnold’s PoV“Come in.” I said as a knock sounded on the door.I lifted my head up to the door as it opened, turning back to the files I was reading as Ryker entered. He served himself with the chair, his eyes wandering like a lost puppy on the table. “You weren’t at dinner.” He started.I didn’t bother looking up at him as I responded, “As you can see, I have lots of paper to work on.” He laughed out and I was forced to look up at him, our eyes meeting with each other.“Cut me the talk about work. Why weren’t you at dinner?” “I had no idea you cared so much about me to come and check on me for not coming to dinner.” “That’s because I heard an interesting rumor today. You and Keleigh, together this evening, talking.” He leaned into his chair, placing his hands on his laps as he stared at me with interest. His lips curled up into a mocking smirk, waiting for me to say anything just to laugh me out.“I talked to her today, and I apologized.” He pressed his lips togethe

CHAPTER 78Keliegh’s povI composed myself quickly, stretching myself up, “A ghost? Who?” Her lips curled up into a smile, “walk with me, Keleigh.” I heaved a deep sigh. When I needed her, she was not around and when all I wanted to be alone, she was here to torment me. At least she’s not calling me the abusive names or picking a fight with me again. I walked behind her as she started, “what about what we discussed together? Do you have an answer yet to it?” “What’s that?” I inquired with raised brows. “The deal. I’ll give you money and you’ll leave this place.”The thought came back to my mind, the deal I had thought to be a good one, to start all over. Ever since I slept off thinking about it, it hasn’t come to my mind again not to talk of pondering about it. And since Arnold’s revelation, I had forgotten I had a conversation with Selene.I never forget any conversation with her, or maybe it was just because she was particularly less violent and insulting in the last one.“I’ve

CHAPTER 80 Selene’s POV.It was late evening as I walked out of my room, recalling Roman’s words on my way to where I was going.“Lay down and act nice my foot.” I have stayed inside since that same morning, eating and washing up, thinking and rolling over my bed on what I could do. And no one, not even the goddamned Roman himself showed up to check on me. I lifted my hands up to knock on Ryker’s door when it opened, revealing the grand master itself. His brows furrowed as he saw me, my heart sighing in satisfaction.I wanted him to be surprised to see me also.“To what pleasure do I owe this surprise, lady of the house?” “None actually. I’m here to discuss business.” His lips curved up in a mocking smile, eyeing me down, “and what business do you know that I do not know, Selene?” All my insides heated up with the way my name rolled over in his mouth. Selene. Urghh. This was the main reason I liked Ryker. Everything he did oozed sexiness, the way he walked, the way he talked, th
