Olivia stumped her foots as she walked about her Father's office with pouted lips. She was obviously displeased.
"You're gonna have to use your words, darling," Alpha Noah focused his attention on his little princess.
"Dad, he embarrassed me" She cried.
"Who embarrassed you?" Alpha Elijah questioned in shock. Who had the guts to embarrass his baby?
"Zephyr," She divulged.
"What happened?" Alpha Elijah calmly asked.
"He flung my arms away when I tried to touch him and called a filthy guard to throw me out of his office" she cried out.
"What did you do?" Her father asked. He knew Zephyr was a calm man so his daughter must have done something because most at times, she acted without thinking.
"I didn't do anything" She whined. "I did exactly as you said and only tried to make him like me"
"It's okay, sweetie. Calm down" He tried to cajole her.
"No, daddy I won't. I want him" She cried but this time, more louder.
"Your wish is my command, dear. Now will you calm down?"
"You sure? Is he really gonna be mine?" She asked, her eyes round with excitement.
"Yes, dear." He said and handed over his card to her "go and buy some things for yourself. Don't forget to get a massage, okay?"
She took the card and giggled excitedly. "I love you so much, daddy. You're the best," and gave him a big kiss on the cheek.
Alpha Elijah smiled. His daughter was just so spoiled and he didn't mind spoiling her more. She was so obsessed with shopping and that was the only way to please her. Olivia looked exactly like her late mother, his Luna that was why his love for her was overwhelming.
His wife, Priscilla died when giving birth to Olivia and that hurt him so much. He was devastated but what kept him going was his daughter, Olivia.
As for Zephyr, he need to think of a way to convince him to get married to his daughter and then, he would have control of Zephyr's pack.
***************
Meanwhile at the pack of the rogues;
"You're back." Nimue gasped as Bellona walked into the room where she and Antonio sat, catching up.
Bellona ignored her, took a bottle of water in the fridge and downed it almost immediately. She was tired.
Bellona spent most of her time in Antonio's place than she spent in her house. Her house was cold and lifeless like her. It wasn't a home.
"How did it go?" Antonio asked softly. From his voice, one could tell that he was deeply worried about her and he didn't want her to continue with this mission but there was nothing he could do to stop her.
"It went well" Bellona said after she had gotten herself a little. "I was hired."
"That's wonderful!" Nimue chimed in happily. She sounded so excited, it was strange. Bellona looked at her questioningly and she laughed nervously, "I'm excited that you'll be getting revenge soon"
"Did you see him?" Antonio asked, diverting Bellona's attention from Nimue.
Yes she saw him. She finally laid her eyes on the person she detested the most and she couldn't do anything because she was following a stupid plan. How hopeless!
"I did" Bellona muttered.
"Are you okay?" He asked, his eyes held so many emotions.
"Of course I'm fine" She lied. She wasn't fine even in the slightest bit. She was angry at herself for not doing anything when she saw Zephyr and her cheeks also hurt from smiling all day.
"You know you don't have to-"
"You can't stop me no matter how hard you try so just give up already" Bellona interrupted him. She knew he was going to try to stop her yet again. He was just too caring and sometimes, she wondered how he was the leader of the rogues with such soft heart he had. He always put everyone first before himself.
"Alright. Alright" He raised his hands in defect.
"When will you start?" Antonio asked her again.
"On Monday. Hopefully," she said, making Antonio stare at her.
This girl was really determined.
"That's enough" Nimue croaked. If she didn't speak up, these two were just going to keep talking and ignore her presence.
"What's the matter?" Antonio turned to her.
"I have something for her" Nimue said, her whole attention on Bellona.
"What do you want?" Bellona asked sharply. She didn't know why she couldn't bring herself to like this old lady. No matter how hard she tried. There was something about her that she couldn't place her finger on.
"Don't snap at me, I'm not Zephyr" She chuckled. "I just want to give you something"
"And what is that?" Bellona asked.
"A teacher"
"A teacher?" Bellona repeated just to be sure she heard clearly.
"Yes, a teacher" Nimue affirmed.
"What do I need a teacher for?" She glanced at Antonio and his reaction told her he knew nothing about what was going on.
If she needed a teacher, it'd be Antonio and not some random person Nimue had chosen. In fact, what exactly did she need a teacher for?
"For your manners." Nimue articulated.
"My manners?" Bellona's eyes widened in shock. "What's wrong with my manners?"
"It's terrible" Nimue deadpanned.
"What!" She gasped, eyes wide in shock. She turned to Antonio and questioned, "do I have bad manners?" but he avoided her eyes.
Bellona sighed deeply. This guy was really something else.
"I'll answer for him" Nimue chimed in, "not only that you don't care for people's feelings, you're also very rude and blunt."
"Well, excuse me for expressing truthfully myself" She started sarcastically "Apart from being rude, which I doubt I am, I see no wrong in not letting people and their feelings bother you. I mean, you live for yourself alone."
Although Bellona was beautiful, smart and hardworking, she was also rude. She talked to anyone the way she wanted regardless of their age and that was a problem now.
Not like they hadn't taken notice of it before but they couldn't care less. But now that she was going to be working for Zephyr, she needed to learn to bridle her tongue else it wouldn't take her a day to get fired.
"That's not what she meant" Antonio tried to calm her down.
"Then what did she mean?" Bellona questioned sharply.
"She meant that since you'll be working for Zephyr now, you need to learn how to tolerate his excesses else you'll blow your cover." He patted her hands lovingly, "It is no secret that he'll try to provoke you so you need to endure whatever he'll throw at you inorder for you to achieve your goals."
"Exactly what I meant" Nimue said. "It's no secret that his secretaries doesn't last more than a week as some of them quit because of his character. A week wouldn't be enough to achieve your aim so that's why you need to learn."
"Alright" Bellona let out a deep sigh. They were right. All this was tiring. Most times, she feels ike giving up but whenever she remembers the gore sight of her parents lifeless body, her hatred for him doubles.
"Come on in" Nimue spoke with a croaked voice and almost immediately, a young lady walked in. It was as though she was standing by the door waiting to be called upon.
"And you are?" Antonio asked before Nimue could even speak up.
"I'm Jane" She smiled happily.
"Who is she and what is she doing here?" Antonio muttered to Nimue.
"She'll be Bellona's teacher from today. Let's leave them to get acquainted with each other" Nimue stood and beconed on Antonio who mirrored her action and they both strolled out of the room.
Jane smiled widely and introduced herself. Bellona in turn didn't spare her a glance. She found the girl to be creepy because why the hell does she always smile like that.
"What's your name?" Jane asked Bellona with hopes of getting along with her. Bellona in response rose from her seat and simply walked out.
As soon as Bellona stepped out, Jane's smile fell and was replaced by an evil smirk.
"This is just the beginning" She muttered.

In a blink of an eye, Monday had arrived. The day Bellona was to officially resume as Zephyr's secretary.That morning she had woken up earlier than usual. Perhaps it was from excitement that she was slowly but surely coming close to achieving her goals or from nervousness as this was her first official job, she couldn't tell. Either way, she felt anxious.She quickly did her morning routine and got ready for work. She wore a simple coperate gown. The gown was on the formal side but given the type of body she had, she managed to make the dress look sexy. She didn't take a while to get ready since it was her first day, she didn't want to be late.She took a cab because she didn't want to take her car. Besides, how would she take her car? Was she not supposed to be pretending to be an average girl who just recently got employed? So arriving with a car wouldn't be in line with her act.When she got to the company, it was still quite early and the CEO had not yet arrived so she decided t
The next day, Bellona carefully selected her outfit. She wore a short black skirt that stopped right on her thigh which outlined her curves perfectly and a white shirt that showed off her cleavages.Bellona's long brown hair and her gorgeous hazel eyes complement her fierce but seductive look. She looked like the goddess of beauty, literally.She didn't want to be extra so she went with this. If it were not in the office, she would have dressed in a more seductive outfit but she wanted to keep it official.Maybe with this, she could seduce Zephyr and when they get in the mood, she'll kill him.Bellona left her house but didn't forget to spray a little bit of the portion Nimue gave her. She wouldn't want to risk it because Zephyr would be quick to get her scent without the help of the portion.She arrived at the company quite early but this time she waited outside to greet Zephyr.As usual, Zephyr arrived by nine. When he alighted the vehicle, he eyes subconsciously went to her and lin
The moment Bellona stepped in the room, Lancelot, all but wolf whistled at her!"Astonishing" Lance loudly exclaimed and even stood from his seat. He didn't care that Zephyr was present in the room."Hello, beautiful" He immediately leaned forward and took Bellona's hands casually, raising it and placing a kiss on the back of her hands.After that, the man didn't let go of her hands immediately, rather he held it in place and gently caressed it.Bellona was disgusted beyond words. She wanted to fling his hands away from hers the moment he touched her but she refrained from doing so. Only God knew how much it took her not to break his hands the instant he touched her.She then slowly removed her hands from his grasp, displeasure clearly written on her face.She looked over to Zephyr hoping that he would at least caution his visitor to refrain from touching her but the man seemed like he didn't care.Noticing her discomfort, Lancelot quickly apologized. "Forgive me. I was flustered by
Bellona was furious beyond words. Apart from being furious, another emotion she felt was confusion. She was confused as to why Zephyr had treated her like a thief.He was the one who asked her to organize the shelf so why then did he behave like she acted on her on will.The way he reacted when she touched that book was very strange. Unless he was hiding something in that book or behind that shelf.She had seen many movies were a book in a book shelf was the key to a secret passage way. Could it be the same with the one in Zephyr's office?If Bellona had ever thought of pardoning Zephyr for murdering her parents, this event fueled her anger and drive for revenge.Bellona moved all those thoughts to the back of her mind. She needed to think of a way to get close to Zephyr because all the attempts she had tried didn't seem to be working out. She needed to go see Nimue. Maybe the woman would have a thing or two to say.Bellona quickly finished her worked and clocked out for the day. She
The next day, Bellona got to work early, she waited to greet Zephyr and after that, she took the employee's elevator and then made coffee for him.All these while, she didn't spare him a single glance nor did she try to appear jovial with him. She just kept a straight face through out. When he was done with the coffee, she simply took the cup back and then went to her office.Zephyr must have noticed because for some reason, he felt guilty. He regretted the way he treated her the previous day and he felt like apologizing for his behavior. Even though he felt remorseful, he wanted to keep his pride so he made use of the telephone to call her to his office.************After Bellona had received the call from Zephyr to come to his office, her straight face formed a frown. It was already bad that she had to put up with him and see him daily, now he was calling her to his office. Just what does he wants now? To anger her further?Still, she rose from her seat and walked to his office.
"hmm" She hummed, not in the mood to talk.The drive to the office was quiet. While Lancelot wondered what caused her change of mood, Bellona on her own kept thinking of what she saw.It was brief but she was able to recognize two children playing with each other, a boy and a girl. Though she couldn't see the little boy's face properly, she was able to recognize the girl.Who wouldn't be able to recognize themselves? The little girl was her."I'll get married to you" The boy said."I'll wait for you" The girl replied with a smile.Bellona was confused, she couldn't remember any event like this happening. Besides, she didn't have any childhood friend. She spent her childhood under Nimue's care.Nimue was very strict. She didn't permit her to socialize with the other children so she didn't know where this memory was coming from.She needed to tell Nimue about this.Soon, they reached Zephyr's company and Bellona alighted almost immediately."Let me walk you up" Lance came down from his
The moment Bellona stepped out from the vehicle, she quickly ran till she was out of sight. She stopped behind a building and breathed hard."What was that about?" She asked nobody in particular. Zephyr was behaving weirdly and he needed to stop it because it was making her feel....somehow.She took another deep breath and straightened herself. She walked to the road and hailed a taxi which took her to Nimue's place.On arriving, she knocked on the door and moments later, Nimue opened up the door."What are you doing here by this time of the night?" Nimue asked, feigning surprise."Something's bothering me" Bellona said."Come in. Have a sit" Nimue shifted from the entrance and Bellona entered and after which, she closed the door."What is the matter, dear?" Nimue asked, impatiently."I saw something. It felt like a memory but I can't remember if anything of that kind happened." Bellona opened up."What did you see? What was it?" Nimue anxiously urged her to speak."I saw two little
"What are you doing here?" Zephyr's voice resounded in her ears causing her fears to sky rocket through the roof.Bellona was too shocked to answer. How come he was back so soon? It wasn't up to two hours since he left and for all she knew, the site was an hour and thirty minutes away from the company.She didn't know what to say. This was the first time she was caught red handed and she couldn't help but wonder what Zephyr would do to her."Didn't I ask you a question?" Zephyr raised his voice when he didn't get any response from her."I- Uhm. You see..." She tried to form words but nothing was forth coming. It was as though all the courage she felt this morning had flew out the window.Her eyes darted around, not knowing where to look and landed on Lucian. The man looked like he wanted to kill her that instant. He was glaring daggers at her.She looked away and composed herself. "While you were away, I decided to clean your office. I took out a book and the shelf suddenly parted rev
