Claudia's POV "Every single day he gets more on my fucking nerves!" I snapped into the phone, pacing across the bedroom with my heels clicking angrily against the marble floor. "I'm getting sick of this, Adrian. Can we just put an end to this already?!”The humiliation from moments ago still burned beneath my skin.Kane had thrown me out. Like I was some desperate woman throwing herself at her own husband.“What's wrong now?” Adrian let out a slow sigh over the line. “You literally called me hours ago saying that he sent you the Cartier necklace you wanted and that he was home.”The nonchalance dripping from his voice made me grip the phone harder. A few months ago, he would have threatened to turn the world upside down for me, but now he didn't seem to care anymore.“He threw……..” I almost blurted it out before reconsidering. Admitting that Kane had slammed the door in my face was far too humiliating. It made it seem as though I wanted him... as though I'd been the desperate one ch

Esmeralda’s POVBe my mistress!Be mine!I stabbed at the cereal again, bringing a spoon full of soggy oats to my mouth.“Arrogant jerk,” I whispered, remembering the way he had looked at me; like he was doing me a favor, like he was saving my life. I had never been so humiliated in my entire existence! A sudden wave of dizziness swept over me, and I frowned. Every time I thought about his proposition, a wave of nausea washed over my stomach right alongside the lightheadedness."You're already awake?I turned.Mulan stood in the kitchen doorway, rubbing one sleepy eye as she yawned. Her hair was a complete mess, looking like she had barely slept at all."You scared me," I mumbled softly."We just got back from our shift," she said, squinting at me. "Don't tell me two hours of sleep is enough for you.""I couldn't sleep," I shot back. “And what about you? Why are you awake?”"I got thirsty." She shuffled over to the sink and filled a glass directly from the tap. She pulled out the cha

Kane's POVI had barely taken two steps into the house when the choking scent of perfume hit me.“Kane!”Claudia threw her arms around me, adorned in a shining necklace and a red silky robe. My arms caught her out of instinct, but the second her body pressed into mine, I tensed up.Either she didn't notice I had tensed, or she simply didn't care.“I knew you'd finally see reason!” She buried her face in my chest, her grip tightening before she pulled back, her eyes glistening with joy…. or rather, deceit. “I have missed you so much, baby. Our home was empty without you, and the night was unbearable for me.”Smooch!She pressed her lips hard on mine before I could dodge it.Immediately, a vivid image of Claudia’s mouth on Adrian in our bed triggered a wave of nausea mixed with rage that surged in my throat, as I fought the urge to wipe the trail of her saliva from my lips.I pulled back like her skin burned me. “I see you're happy with the gift?” I rasped, forcing my voice to remain ge

Kane's pov “Albert.” I sprang into action the moment we walked into my private office. “I want your team’s surveillance on Adrian starting today.”Albert sat up straight. “I’m already on it. What specific parameters do you need?”"I want Adrian's movements for the last fourteen months. Every meeting he attended, everyone he's been in contact with, his call records, and both his personal and corporate account statements.” My eyes still scanning the file Mr. Hargrove had distributed earlier. "And I want a complete background check on Vertex Industries.”“My team will have it ready in twelve hours,” Albert said, typing on his phone to message his security team.That bastard! I slammed the file down onto the desk. From the chair across my desk, Jayson said nothing. He simply looked at me, his eyes filled with ....pity. I had been ignoring it since the night I caught Claudia, and I intended to keep ignoring it now.Jayson shifted in his seat. "You know what bothers me most?""What?"He l

Kane’s POVI had barely taken my seat at the head of the boardroom table when the atmosphere told me everything I needed to know.Jayson and Albert occupied their usual seats to my left. Like Ethan, they were investors in M&M. Years ago, we'd made a pact to support one another's companies, and we'd kept it ever since.At the far end of the table on my right sat an empty leather chair.Adrian's chair.The idiot hadn't even bothered to show up, despite being the sole reason we were sitting here in the first place.My jaw tightened in anger.“Mr. Chairman.” Mr. Hargrove, the longest-standing shareholder outside of the Ravello family, cleared his throat and rose to his feet. “Thank you for honoring this meeting on such short notice.”"Of course," I rasped. "Though I would appreciate it if we moved directly to the matter at hand.”“I won't waste your time either.” Hargrove held my gaze steadily. “Which is why we called this meeting.” He paused, glancing around at the other board members, w

Kane's pov“For the gala, the caterers confirmed Thursday, but the florist is saying they're booked and won't be available. I have two hundred guests to host on Saturday evening, and the planning is a disaster. I should fire the event hall manager……..that man is completely clueless…”“You are becoming your father.”Claudia's words echoed in my brain, overlapping with Jayson's rambling voice as anger swirled inside me, making my jaw twitch.Six years ago, at my father's deathbed, I had sworn I would never be like him. To become a man who changed women like clothes, who couldn't be bothered to show up for his family, opting instead to send gifts through courier services. I had watched my mother cry too many times, promising myself on my wedding night that I would never put my wife in that position.Claudia knew that was my breaking point. And she had weaponized it anyway. That ingrate.“Kane? Are you even listening to me?” Jayson stopped rambling and frowned across the table.“The flo

Mira’s POV My heart pounded in my chest as I stumbled to keep pace with Navier's quick, hard steps, his hand clamped around mine tightly, as he dragged me upstairs, taking two steps at a time.I managed to tug my hand free at the top of the stairs, panting soundlessly.“Where are you taking me to?” I gestured in quick, desperate succession. He didn’t even glance at my hands, and in response, he growled so deep that I fearfully placed my hand back in his tight hold, regaining my position, in order not to anger him further. My mind raced with a series of questions as we went upstairs. This was jealousy, it had to be. Because, why else would he beat up Cole like that if he wasn't possessive over me? I felt a wave of stomach-tingling hope coupled with fear wash over me. Navier shoved me into his room and the door slammed shut with a bang that echoed in my bones. My back hit the wall hard enough to knock the air from my lungs.“Undress” ‘W….….h……a……t!’“I said take those clothes off,

Mira's POV.I should've stayed in bed, curled up in my blankets waiting for my promised meal after Father left. But my miserable fate and trouble always find me. "I believe you all didn't turn deaf all of a sudden!" Navier growled low this time, shifting his hard unflinching gaze to me. "You all must be idle, seeing as you turned my pack into a commotion, instead of earning your keep!"My soul almost jumped out of my body, on hearing his voice. My heart hammered against my ribs, I felt a cold sweat break out on my brow, my knees threatened to buckle beneath me, as Navier advanced towards us, each word laced with anger, and step oozing of authority. All I could think of was the pouch in Ellen's grip and Navier discovering its contents."Better start talking or I'll have you all planking on the field till the day is over!" Navier smirked, pointing to the window at the open field, pointing to each one of us. "Guess whose mouth and nostrils are going to be dripping like a broken faucet?

Mira's POV.My blood ran cold. Ellen would take it to the Alpha? Why has my life been so damn unlucky? First, it was my father pressuring me to kill my mate, and now Ellen is pressuring me to explain the content in the vials.Life was beginning to tire me. All I ever wanted was love, not endless trials. What could I say to escape this mess? Besides, Ellen is just the head cook; if matters escalate, I could get Mama T to make her give it to me.“Can you be quick with your answer!” Ellen snapped impatiently. “I don't have all day, not all of us are jobless like you are!”Her words irked me, and I flipped out.“Then go to hell, and give me back my pouch, you evil witch,” I angrily signed, stubbing my foot on the floor in frustration. I wished I could speak aloud and curse her. I was tired of being pushed around and intimidated.“What did she just say?” Ellen asked, amusement in her eyes. She found my hand gestures funny, and it frustrated me that I couldn't speak.I had never felt so hum

Mira's POV. My remained fixed on the door, long after Father left. Was I supposed to obey the man who made my life a living hell since I was born? Or protect my fated mate, who clearly wanted nothing to do with me? But Navier was changing. He'd been furious at the hospital when he found out I wasn’t eating. He even carried me on his back. That had to mean something. Father was wrong! Navier was starting to care for me. Father didn't see the love in his love eyes. I knew it wasn't conjured by my imagination. It was real. For hours, I forgot about the hunger twisting my stomach, and fought the storm of uncertainties raging in my head, until I remembered. I didn't have the vials anymore. I'm so dead! I stood up abruptly, ran to the wardrobe and rummaged through it, flipping my single man’s bed upside down in search of the Vials. Where could it be! I thought in panic, my heart racing with every second. Father would kill me. Then it hit me, the last time I saw the bl

Alpha Diego POV.After my conversation with Olivia, two days ago. Somewhere within me, I had the feat that she had been caught. If not, Alpha Navier should have been announced dead by now. I should never have entrusted the bitch with such a mission. She's a fuck up. But I had no other person who could infiltrate his pack. "Fuck! She can never do anything right! So useless." I grunt out in frustration. That bitch, would jeopardize our plans before it starts, but it's just a feeling right? I concluded, and picked up the phone that buzzed on my table. "Alpha Diego, tell me you succeeded." He ordered, before I could speak. "It shouldn't be that hard to convince your girl. She's Naive." "Hmmm, Alpha Stone." I started, taking a deep breath. It's always takes up my courage to speak to him without stuttering. "It wasn't as easy as I thought. She has formed such a deep hatred for me, than I expected." I selected my words carefully, not to slip up about my fears. "What!" He yelled right in

Mira’s POV The world felt hazy, like I was stuck underwater. I fought to open my eyes, but they were heavy, pulling me back into the dark, but somewhere above me, voices drifted in and out."Is she dead?" Someone asked coldly, making me wonder who it belonged to. But then, everyone wished me dead which wasn't surprising.I even wished desperately for it."Goddess! Navier! I told you she wasn't ready for this level of training, but you wouldn't listen. Are you trying to kill her?" An angry voice, laced with concern, shouted. "Let's just get her to the hospital, dammit.""Let's wake her up with a bucket of water," a third voice suggested.I couldn't identify the voices except for second, which was Ethan's, as my mind was still foggy. Before I could process anything else, a sudden splash of cold water jolted me awake.As I became more aware of my surroundings, I looked down and saw that my clothes were wet, and Navier was holding an empty bucket, standing a few steps away.My heart san
