Naomi's POVRubbing my hands against the fabric of my dress, I was thinking of the perfect way to maneuver through this mess I had created for myself.What was I even thinking when I told him it was girly stuff?Pushing my head backwards, I grunted in displeasure.“I'm sorry, I shouldn't have pressed on with finding out what the issue is.” Father said, making me snap my head in his direction. His expression showed that he wasn't making up his words.Casting Albert a swift gaze I caught him chewing on his meal as he stared back at father. At this point, I began to wonder what he was brewing in that head of his.“Father… it's alright… but to be sincere, you misinterpreted the situation.”“Really?”“Yes father.” I nodded, relieved that he decided to listen to me. “The truth is, I have missed Cassie so much and I feel lonely most times with no one to share my pains with… I can't tell Albert everything nor can I do the same to you. I feel I will be like a burden to you guys.” I drawled in

Reader's POVAfter leaving the courtroom, fuming with anger, Albert found his way to his bedroom as he tried to calm himself down but no matter what he did, he couldn't.The one thing that was ringing in his head was to lay claim to Naomi so he would achieve his ultimate goal and that was ascending the throne and then wielding the power he says Alpha Baron wanted to take from her but things were getting difficult.No matter how hard he tries, there was always an obstacle on the way that would pop up all of a sudden, frustrating all his efforts.Now sitting at the end of his bed with his hands folded across his chest, he was staring into space, trying to come up with a nice plan but whatever he brewed in his head, he discarded, feeling that it wasn't going to work out the way he had intended.Frustrated, he grasped the edge of the bed sheet and with one powerful yank, it was off the bed as he seethed with anger.“Don't let me hate you Naomi… don't even think of doing that because I swe

Alpha Baron's POVDespite my harsh tone, she was unmoved, frustrating me further.Now sitting back on my seat, I shut my eyes tightly, trying to forget about the scene which had just played out in front of me.Biting my bottom lips as frustration surged through my veins, I held the edge of the table and with my lips pressed tightly together, I tried to come up with the perfect way to maneuver through.“Baron… What is the issue? This isn't the real you, something must have triggered you and the best thing for you to do at this moment is to speak out.”Plopping on the chair opposite me, she leaned forward and with her hand resting under her chin, she said, “I'm listening. I don't mind spending the whole day listening to you vent. I just want you to be alright.”“I know it's hard but believe me with time, everything will fall back into place and you don't have to worry about a single thing anymore. It's just a phase that will pass by…” she kept on speaking.Instead of calming me down lik

Alpha Baron's POVGrabbing my head with both hands, I plopped on the foot of my bed with a sigh.“Richard said she left, why then did she return?” I muttered as I winced in pain.Unable to bear the pains that was threatening to tear me apart, I hurried towards the table and then popped some pain reliefs into my mouth and instead of getting water to flush the drugs down my system, I reached out for the half bottle of liquor on my table and then took a long swing of it.If only Naomi hadn't pushed further with her attempt to frustrate me, this wouldn't have happened. We could have been married by now and expecting our first kid together.Shutting my eyes, I let out a low wince as a sharp pain shot from my feet to my head.Taking another swing from the bottle, I staggered backwards until I was sitting on my bed.“I'm going to keep trying… I can't leave her for Albert… no way.” I said, taking another swing from my bottle.While at it, I was thinking of everything he had said to me regardi

Naomi's POVLeft for me alone, there was nothing that would make me return to the table. I was only doing this for my father, and not because I was really interested in this.In fact, I had decided to be present at this blind date because I had nothing to do if I had stayed back since my father had banned me from visiting day care.Slowly and cautiously like I was trying to prevent myself from falling, I turned in his direction and with my hand resting on my thigh, I plopped on the seat I was occupying before now.“Why were you leaving?” He asked and I did a curt bow at once. “I'm sorry.” I said, biting my lower lips as anger coursed through me.“Of course you should.” He snorted and then filled the glass with wine.Not like I wanted to have a taste of the wine which looked expensive, I was expecting him to pour a glass for me too.“You can have a glass if you want.” He snorted.Smiling back at him despite the anger that was threatening to tear me apart, I said, “No thank you, I'm con
