Chapter 120Owen stood before the mirror, his reflection staring back at him. He was tired and he needed to do this, he needed to prove to the family that he was worthy to rule the company, the family had been in controversy ever since the arrest of Mr. Reynold and it was hard to manage them, he let out another sigh and he adjusted his tie, straightened his shoulders, and took a deep breath. Today was the day he would step out and lead the company in a new direction, he needed to take full control of the company. Exiting his house, Owen felt the weight of responsibility settling on his shoulders. The drive to the company was filled with contemplation, his mind running through the upcoming meeting with the board members. He knew he had to make a strong impression, to assert his vision for the company's future. He finally made it to the company and he saw his secretary, who quickly rushed over to collect the bag he was holding. “Everyone is waiting for you in the boardroom,” he said
Chapter 121“We have to meet father, we have to tell him this! Where could he have escaped to”Hayden stated feeling confused and frustrated, he ran his hand over his head and doesn’t know what to feel anymore.“Yeah we should! I don’t want to imagine what uncle Reynold might be doing right now, we have to be faster than him”Owen replied and he nodded. Owen and Hayden rushed to meet with Mr. Richard, their minds were filled with worry and urgency. The news of Mr. Reynold's escape had sent shockwaves through them that was unexplainable, and they knew they had to act fast to prevent any further harm.L Owen and Hayden entered Mr. Richard's office, they were met with a scene of agitation. Mr. Richard paced back and forth, his brows furrowed in frustration. Without waiting for an invitation, Owen and Hayden launched into a detailed explanation of the events that had transpired, their words punctuated by Mr. Richard's growing anger."Uncle Reynold's escaped," Owen announced, his voice tense
Chapter 122Hayden was restless, he could hardly sleep at night as he kept on thinking about the escape of Snr Reynold, he knew his escape was going to prove more threat than the Martins’ own, and Mr. Reynold won’t hesitate to have his revenge on them and what worries him most is that he doesn’t know who was going to be his first victim. Looking at himself in the mirror and adjusting his tie, he knew there wasn’t much he could do and all he could do right now was to be vigilant and careful, so he stepped out of his house and went inside his car driving to the company.He went straight to his office ignoring the greeting of the workers, he sat down to get engrossed in the day’s work perhaps that way he wouldn’t have the time to think much about everything happening before him. Hayden raised his head as Mr. Richard stepped into his office, he heard a faint knock and a click of the door followed that revealed Mr Richard. Mr Richard’s eyes immediately registered the weariness etched on
CHAPTER 036CALLUM’S POVI halted in front of the small brown door, my heart beating nervously in my chest. My hand watered tremendously on the box I was carrying. I was more than nervous. Heck, I was scared. What if she was inside? I did not bother to check if she was still working when I left the house. All I did was wrap the gift and be on my way so I could meet up with her sister before she returned.But now that I was here the question boiled within me, what if she was inside? I managed to place the gift on the floor, the brown paper I had used in packaging it, making its crinkling sound as I dropped it on the floor. I closed my eyes, steadying my breath and taking in multiple deep sighs before finally raising my hand to do the door and knocking.I knocked once at first, then twice. Then I bent down to put the large box back into my hand. I picked up the sound of someone approaching with my wolf senses, another gulp of my saliva going to my bloodstream before the door opened, re
ALICIA’S POVI wore my second pair of earrings, taking a long last look at myself. My lips shimmered with the red lipstick I used and my face shiny with the powder I used. I turned and walked out of the room, making my way down the stairs. I was just about to reach the door to open it when I heard someone yell out my name, or probably not my name but in a respectful manner,The guard got in front of me and bowed, “I apologize my lady, but the alpha has asked me to tell you to come to his office right now. It’s something important.” He said. “The alpha sent for me?” I repeated, my brows raised up in disbelief and curiosity.I thought we had both made it clear to each other that we did not do any of this. I don’t want to eat with him, and hear words that’ll hurt me or even be in the same place with him. “I’m already on my way out, I can’t go back. Please tell him…“He said it was urgent, and you have to come. He told me not to return without bringing you with him.”A threat. He was th
Brianna's POVShit.Shit shit shit shit.I fidgeted while pacing inside the room. I'd made sure that Calvin's footsteps had receded before I locked the door, making sure that the entire place was silent. Nobody would come to bother me, that was for sure. After all the news, no matter how little, must have spread like wildfire and I knew that Calvin was going to make sure that nobody saw me, whether to curb the news or out of a misguided sense of ‘helping’. It helped too that everyone pitied me, and wouldn't bother me unless necessary which was co convenient.But did any of that matter now? There was only one answer to that;Hell no.I shut my eyes, drawing my hands across my face to control myself . I was in a full blown panic mode. Spiralling too much.All I could think about WT this morning was how?How the hell did Calvin find it out?“Shit.” I cursed in a low whisper. How I wanted to destroy everything in my path or tear out . But that wouldn't be comely of me would it? That woul
JACE’S POVI was hurt and disappointed as I got into my car and drove off. Something just did not seem right. The previous day at school was not what I had envisioned. It was different from what had I had imagined.Calista’s eyes met with mine but it was quite brief. She wasn’t always like that. She would not just look at me and ignore me like nothing had happened. She had a smile which was obviously fake. Neither of her actions seemed to be genuine and I knew she did not expect me to believe that.She had been so much in a rush like she knew something had happened. It seemed like she was avoiding me and I could not give a reasonable answer to it.I knew something was off. I was at her home at that day and I could tell someone was eavesdropping. I could tell there was someone else listening to us and I could tell it was Calista. Everything seemed suspicious even though I initially tried to act like I was not bothered. I saw her room briefly the previous night.It could be Calista. Sh
HAZEL’S POVI could not phantom the feeling arising in my heart the moment I witnessed Killian stand up to me. Was it happiness because he spoke up to Gray and defended me? Or was it the thrill that came with knowing I had finally won him over to my side?These thoughts clouded my head as I walked back to my room. As I placed my hand on the doorknob, a thought occurred to me. A part of me was happy that I was making progress with Killian, but another part felt terrible because I was basically lying to him.I was only getting him to trust me, so I could use that to my advantage. The thought left a bitter taste in my mouth and I couldn’t shake the thought of my mind, but then, I vividly recalled he asked to see Celeste.I walked into my room and I couldn’t stop anxiety from coursing through my entire being. Why had he called for Celeste? Was it the words I had told him yesterday? Did it offend him so much, that he was going to take it out on her.My face went ashen as all the blood drai
