View MoreMARCELLA A CLIP?"What debt could I possibly owe you, Elias?" I demanded, trying to keep my voice steady.Elias always has something up his sleeves, the fact that I’m naked with him in a hotel room simply means one thing. But a part of me still wants to believe that he just took off my clothes to trick me, okay, he might have touched me but I’m not sure we had sex, Elias wouldn’t do that to me, I’ll make sure he’s dead! I will. Elias smirked. "You'll answer my call whenever I want to get together. And let's just say, it won't be a friendly chat. I know you know what I mean." He said, still smiling broadly.I scowled, outrage burning within me. "That will never happen, Elias. You're disgusting." I felt like tearing him apart, oh no! He laughed, the sound sending chills down my spine. "Oh, but it already has, Marcella. You see, I have proof." He pulled out his phone and showed me a video of myself dancing seductively, his hand spanking my bare ass. I felt a wave of nausea wash over m
MARCELLATHE UNEXPECTED I sipped my drink, feeling the cool liquid slide down my throat as I gazed around the busy bar. The music was loud, the lights were flashing, and the crowd was rowdy, but I was in my element. I loved nights like this, where I could let loose and be myself.Alexis was with me as expected, laughing and chatting, her eyes shining with excitement. We were having the time of our lives, and I was grateful to have her by my side. We'd been friends for years, and we knew each other's thoughts before we even spoke them."Marcella, oh my gosh, I have the best idea!" Alexis exclaimed, grabbing my arm and pulling me close."What is it?" I asked, my curiosity piqued."We need to tell one of the elders that Ximena is actually Mildred, not the real Ximena!" Alexis said in a very low and conspiratorial tone. “We will plan with him to expose her and keep us out of the picture acting like he discovered it on his own.” She suggested excitedly.I gasped, my eyes widening in shoc
MILDRED I AM TRULY NOT XIMENA "Mildred, what's going on?" Vanessa asked, her curiosity piqued. "You look like you're hiding something." "Let's go to the garden, Vanessa," I said, my voice low. "I need to tell you something important." We walked to the garden, the evening breeze rustling the leaves. I took a deep breath before speaking. "Vanessa, I'm not who you think I am. I'm not Ximena." Vanessa's eyes widened in shock. "What do you mean? You're Ximena, aren't you?" "No, I'm not," I replied, my voice shaking. “Then How are you here? How do you look so much like Ximena? She asked with so much surprised written all over her. "Shhh, sshh,” I hushed, trying to calm her down so someone wouldn't overhear us. “I will tell you all you need to know, just be calm, the walls have ears. “My name is Mildred. “Oh! The name Alpha Enid called you tihe other day, I thought he made a mistake?” She said with her eyes wide open. I feel the shock was too much for her to contain. “Yes, it wa
MARCELLAENID IS SO FUCKING BLINDI paced back and forth in my room, my anger and frustration building with each step. How could Enid do this to me? I had risked everything to uncover the truth, and he had dismissed me like I was some kind of fool.Does he think I want to remain his sister forever? I never even intended to be.“Enid is so fucking blind!” I spat angrily. “I can’t believe this is happening, this was it, I was at the verge of my own victory! Why does Enid not believe? What could be wrong with him? I suspect he is under a spell! No one can tell me otherwise because Enid fucking listens to me, me! Me! And me alone."Marcella, calm down, your voice is so loud and you may raise eyebrows" Alexis said, entering the room with a cautious tone. "What happened?"I spun around, my eyes blazing with fury. "Enid didn't believe me! He thinks I'm spreading lies, that I'm trying to defame his precious Ximena! Can you imagine that? When did Enid start disbelieving me?"Alexis approached
ENIDPOISONOUS TONGUEI sat in my study, trying to make sense of the information Mildred had shared with me about Ximena's sudden appearance. It seemed to hold a deeper meaning than I initially thought. I picked up my phone and called Chase, the earlier we started fixing this, the better for us."Chase, come to my office immediately, and bring Clover with you. I need your help with something," I said, trying to contain my concern."Of course, Enid. We'll be right there," Chase replied briefly and I hung up.As I waited for them to arrive, I couldn't help but wonder what could have led Ximena to run away. Yes, I had it in my thoughts but I felt like it was because I always treated her badly. Could there be more? There certainly is and if I find Marcella guilty in any of these, she will get it really hot! My thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door."Come in," I said, and Chase and Clover entered. "You asked for us; what's with the urgency?" Chase asked, taking a seat opposite
MILDRED MILDRED’S CONFRONTATION After Marcella confronted me, it was clear she had discovered my true identity. This was a huge problem, especially with everything going on in the pack lately. Enid had been absent, and I hadn't had a chance to share my findings with him. With shaky hands, I knocked on his office door."Come in," he called out. I entered, feeling nervous, and Enid immediately sensed my anxiety. "Mildred, what's wrong?" he asked, hurrying to my side."Enid, we need to talk," I said, trying to sound calm despite my trembling fingers. The weight of Marcella's threat loomed over me, and I knew I had to convey the seriousness of the situation. If she exposed my secret, it could ruin everything for Enid. His coronation ceremony was approaching, and he would officially become the pack's Alpha. The elders had deemed him worthy, but if Marcella revealed the truth, all his hard work and progress would be undone.Enid's brows furrowed in concern as he gazed at me. "Mildred, wh
MARCELLA.SHE IS NOT XIMENA!The party had finally come to an end, but my mind was still racing with suspicions and doubts. All night, I had tried to get a glimpse of Ximena's back, to see if she bore the birthmark that Molly had told me about. But Ximena had been avoiding me, dodging me at every turn.From the very day Enid had married Ximena, I had felt a nagging sense of unease. Something about her seemed off, different from the Ximena I had known before. She was bolder, more confident, unlike the Ximena I was used to and it didn't sit well with me. I was determined to get to the bottom of it, to find out if my suspicions were correct.If Ximena didn't have the scar and birthmark, then my doubts were unfounded. But if she did, it would mean that the Ximena present in the palace was an imposter. I had to know the truth. With a sense of determination, I made my way through the mansion , searching for a glimpse of Ximena or whoever she was.She was either around, or in her room with
MildredA STEP AHEAD OF THEMI stepped into the shower, feeling the warm water wash away the exhaustion of the welcome party. I had been on edge all night, trying to avoid Marcella's piercing gaze and Elias's inappropriate advances. As I lathered up my hair, I kept thinking about the whole drama and I just knew that something was off. This mansion was a powder keg of secrets and scandals, just waiting to erupt. If I were to sweep away all the secrets, lies and deceit, it would take a fleet of trucks to haul it all away. The drama was suffocating, the tension way too much for me to handle. It was like living in a ticking time bomb, waiting for the soon coming explosion.Elias's lecherous gaze made my skin crawl, his intentions were as clear as day and a part of me told me that if he got the chance, he'd pounce like a predator.“Oh shit! How many disturbing things could happen to just one person?” Marcella's venomous hatred was equally unsettling, her eyes burning with a fierce desire
MILDREDTHE FACE-OFFI was thoroughly enjoying myself at Elias celebration, surrounded by laughter, music, and lively conversations. The women and elders welcomed me with open arms, showering me with compliments that left me blushing.Despite Elias being the host, I tried to avoid him as much as possible, as his presence made me very uncomfortable and he seemed to be acting up intentionally trying to hit on me. I knew Enid noticed all these and I tried my best to ignore any fight between them. However, I didn't let it dampen my spirits. As I scanned the crowd, I noticed Marcella giving me spiteful glances, her hatred for me palpable. Her clique also threw venomous looks my way, but I chose to ignore them and focus on the event. Gone are those days when I used to tremble at the sight of her. These days, I was ready to give her back any energy she serves me. For the first time, I felt a sense of belonging, and it was a wonderful feeling. As I looked around, I saw Molly walking hand
