Chapter 70

DAMON

I bit back a smile at the memory of Kyle's exhausted appearance this morning, suddenly understanding why he'd looked like he'd been hit by a truck, I doubt he would want to let anyone see him being used as a toy by a five year old.

Morrison, however, seemed to view this as suspicious rather than endearing, and his expression was a huge give away.

"A five-year-old child is your alibi?" Morrison said skeptically.

"A five-year-old child who spent two hours practicing what he called 'cannonball techniques' on my bed," Kyle replied dryly, rolling his eyes in disgust at him.

"I have the bruises to prove it, and I'm sure Isabella can verify that Lucas mentioned visiting me when she found him back in their room at seven AM."

Detective Chen was making notes of her own now, scribbling down important things that she felt was useful in the investigations, clearly more interested in establishing facts than in Morrison's attempts at intimidation.

  • Accidental Surrogate For The Cruel Alpha CEO   Chapter 74

    Chapter 74ISABELLAI shook my head, unable to form words as I watched my husband hold a police detective against the wall like he weighed nothing at all. I knew my husband was strong, but....this strong? That was literally impossible, and why were there wall cracks in the wall. Morrison was trying to speak, trying to even breath from the looks of it but Damon's grip on his throat was making coherent speech impossible."She's guilty," Morrison managed to gasp out, clawing at Damon's hand. "Evidence... proves... she killed...""Evidence proves that someone wanted her to find a head in her desk," Damon replied, his voice calm and quiet, interrupting the bullshit that was spewing out of his mouth."Evidence proves that you've been harassing my family since this morning. We got security cameras and voice recordings to back us up in court. Evidence proves that you're either incompetent or corrupt, and right now I'm leaning toward both."I could see the moment when Damon's control starte

  • Accidental Surrogate For The Cruel Alpha CEO   Chapter 73

    Chapter 73ISABELLAThe chaos in my office was overwhelming as I tried to keep note of what was going on, but I was unable to. Police officers were swarmed in here like a pack of ants, all talking and their radio cracking with static, as they made reports or called for backup, while taking pictures of everything to use as evidence, and wrapping up items they needed. They photographed every inch of my desk, my chair, even the coffee mug I'd left behind yesterday. Yellow tape cordoned off areas that had been part of my daily routine just hours ago, changing my office into looking like a crime scene.I sat in James's office, wrapped in a blanket someone had given me though I couldn't remember who, watching through his window as investigators in white suits carefully bagged my personal belongings.My hands had finally stopped shaking, but the image of Marcus Webb's lifeless eyes staring up at me from my desk drawer was burned into my memory and I was certain this would feed my nightmare

    Chapter 72 ISABELLAShe began holding up different fabric swatches and flowers to the camera forme to have a look at what they had brought in, her enthusiasm was infectious as she described color schemes and venue options, asking for my opinion on the ones that i thought was best for me and I responded accordingly.Despite everything, I found myself smiling as she got animated about different choices available concerning centerpieces."The ivory silk with the gold threading would be stunning with your complexion," she was saying, draping a piece of fabric over her arm to demonstrate. "And if we pair it with these white roses and eucalyptus garlands, the whole chapel will look like something from a fairy tale."I was just about to respond when I noticed something odd about my desk. There were dark spots on the wood surface that hadn't been there when I'd left yesterday, stains that looked almost like..."Elena," I said slowly, leaning forward to examine the marks more closely, tryin

    Chapter 71ISABELLAMy hands were still trembling as Marcus Chen escorted me through the office building's lobby, his presence,a although it wasn't my husband was a comforting reminder that I wasn't completely alone in this nightmare and I had people who were genuinely concerned about me. The morning's confrontation with Max and the reporters felt like it had happened to someone else and not me, but the ache in my wrist where Max had grabbed me was a painful reminder that I probably wasn't going to forget anytime soon that it had been all too real."Mrs. Rodriguez," Marcus said quietly as we approached the elevator, gaining my attention as he went on speaking."I'll be stationed in the lobby, to make sure that nobody plans on coming into the company to hurt you or cause general noise disturbance. If you need anything at all, just call or text this number." He handed me a card with a direct line to his phone which I accepted as a lifeline to clingy onto."We'll also have someone monit

  • Accidental Surrogate For The Cruel Alpha CEO   Chapter 69

    Chapter 69DAMONI was in my home office reviewing security protocols when Kyle burst through the door without knocking, his face grim and his usual casual demeanor replaced by the sharp alertness he only displayed during genuine crises."We've got company," he said, moving to the window and peering through the blinds. "Two unmarked police cars just pulled up the driveway. Detective Morrison is getting out of the first one."My jaw tightened as I saved the document I'd been working on and closed my laptop. Morrison. Of all the detectives in the supernatural crimes unit, he was the one person I'd hoped would stay far away from this investigation. His reputation for harboring grudges against werewolves was well-documented, and his interrogation techniques bordered on harassment when he had a supernatural suspect in his sights."His partner?" I asked, already knowing the answer would complicate things."Detective Sarah Chen," Kyle replied. "Werewolf from the eastern territories. Word is
