EDNA POV“Stop trembling and look at me!” He growled already one step away from me and I could feel my heart skipping many bits.It was already about to bulge out of my chest.I wish I knew, I shouldn't have come up with this stipud idea.Was I naive to think that he wouldn't come?“Look at me!” He barked again and I shut my eyes completely as I lifted my head.“Who sent you?” He continued as I had already opened my eyes and now, all I could see was his dark eyes very close to mine.“I-I…"“I have been so lenient to you, right?” His hand was already on my neck as he strangled me mercilessly.His eyes were darker than before. All I could dictate there was anger and rage.“Who the hell are you?!” He growled again while squeezing my neck that my legs were already in the air.“What are you looking for in my office?!” Alpha Ansel was blinded with rage as he gritted his teeth.His defined hand was on my neck that I couldn't breathe. Fear increased as I held all his hand with mine while try

“W-we are about to…”“Just do it quickly! I don't have time to wait!” I heard the cold voice immediately when the door opened and I kept my eyes on the floor avoiding being seen as I curled like a ball on the dressing chair.I didn't even turn and see him, I was so scared especially after all the days I haven't laid my eyes on him.Then I remembered that I had hurt him and I gulped.The urge to see and ask what he was doing overwhelmed me but I couldn't raise my head.My heart was already a mess thinking that he might see me and feel disgusted and I curled myself even harder.I immediately suppressed the thought of seeing him.Besides, I was sure he was okay even if I hadn't seen him. He was the Alpha and he was so strong. Something like what happened that day couldn't worry him that much.With that in my mind, I kept my head down listening to the exchanging of words between Alpha Ansel and Grace.Actually, it wasn't an exchange of words between the maid and her master but more like

The feeling of disappointment sinked in like a heavy stone, settling deep in the pit of my stomach, as the truth dawns upon me. It was a bitter realization, one that stinged with the sharpness of betrayal and deceit. I was a fool to thing that after what I did to him and after all the days of him showing me that he didn't care about me even if I was his mate.In fact, maying meant nothing to him.He made it clear that he could survive with a mate, besides, he already survived without one.He even made it clear that he wouldn't feel anything when he decided to end my life.But still, the realisation hit differently when it was looming on your head.He never harbored genuine feelings for me and he would never. He only saw me as a means to an end, was still a painful blow even if I already knew about that.I was such a dimwit.My new looks, my new beauty still meant nothing to him.He still saw me as the same person.Maybe he believed the rumours after what happened that day.What sti

ANSEL POV“I don't know what she is talking about.” Roshan blurted out but I also could see by the way he was defending himself, that there was something he was trying too hard to hide.When those words came out from Edna's mouth, I was very scared and thought that she might be crazy or something.I was in fact surprised as to why she said that.I also thought she was out of her wits and angry because I had robbed her freedom and that maybe she was trying to avenge herself through this.I had already planned to take her out of here and out of Roshan's eyes.Who knew, she might cause a huge war between my lands and Roshan's.I wasn't ready for that.Ramsey was already my enemy. I didn't want to have another enemy in my life.Besides, I wanted to use Roshan to help me get rid of Ramsey so I wasn't ready to get on his bad side.But when I turned to his side and realised the already gloomy look that had been planted on his face, I calmed down.At the same time, I was impressed and also sh

ANSEL POVMany days had passed by since King Roshan visited my land.I had given up on the agreement after the last meeting didn't end up well.Well, I wasn't that desperate for his help.Yes, I wanted him to help me kill Ramsey as there were many reasons that made me do it by myself. Not that I was scared of him, but I was more concerned about the consequences of my auctions.But after what happened, I had decided to come up with another plan.And now, I needed some time to unleash my plan.And Edna, the more I stayed with her here, the more I became attached to her and it wasn't good.I never thought that she was able to affect me like that.But now, she did and I had become obsessed with her cute round face, though she still was not aware of that.Besides, I didn't want her to know about this.Well, it wouldn't take long because after my plan worked out, all of this would end.Jack had been distasteful with me because I made sure that he never saw Edna.I had a plan for her and I
