Chapter Fourteen

A little fickle of jealousy

/-Isla-/

“How was your first day at work?” My mother asked. She was in bed now with a doctor examining her.

“Exceedingly infuriating,” I huffed. “I told you mother, I can't work with that man. Can you believe he fired me on my first day at work!”

Elsie laughed and I shot her a glare. She was supposed to be pouring my mother a drink, not reveling in my suffering.

“What were you expecting when you wore that?” Elsie retorted. “I know the Luna complained about your first outfit but you didn't have to go and mke it worse.”

“Perhaps,” I muttered. “But that is no excuse for him to treat me the way he did!”

“Isla,” my mother called and I looked at her. “You need to stop fighting your uncle. You will never be able to survive at this rate.”

“Did you hear the part where I said he took me in as an intern, not a regular employee!” I groaned. “I tried my best to tolerate him mother but he just keeps pushing me to the edge. He is a bully!”

  • Alpha Daddy Is My Step Uncle   A distress call

    Chapter Fifteen A distress call/-Isla-/“The chicken has too much spice in it,” Manda dropped her fifth complaint. “Could have reduced the quantity of spices a little bit. It could cause serious stomach problems.” The food in my mouth suddenly tasted like ashes. Everyone else, including Roman complimented the dish on their first spoonful but all Manda has done since she started eating was complain about one thing or the other. Nothing was good enough for her. I was trying my best to stay calm, even when Arla was practically growling inside me. Elsie was constantly rubbing my lap to keep me calm but Manda wouldn't just stop. She was pushing every single button, baiting me to disrespect her before everyone. “You know, now that the soup is a little cold, it tastes even more…”“If you're not hungry, you could just leave the table,” My mother finally came to the rescue. “My ears are bleeding from all your complains.” “Mother,” Manda pouted with her fake innocence. “I do want to eat,

    Chapter Sixteen Mine alone /-Manda-/“Roman please…” I whined, trying to miss him but he peeled my hands away from him as though I disgusted him. I didn't understand it. Outside, he acted like the lovely caring husband, he let me kiss him, but him, wrap my arms around him but inside, he treated me like I was garbage who didn't deserve to share the same space with him.I made another attempt to touch him and he shot me a disgusted look. “Get your filthy hands off me,” his icy tone made me flinch. “Why… why do you keep doing this to me?” I cried. “Am I not good enough for you? It is bad enough that this is an open marriage but can't I atleast kiss you away from the prying eyes of people?”There was no form of emotion in those seafoam eyes as he looked at me. It felt.like everything I said didn't make any sense to him. “I had an agreement, Manda. I made this an open marriage so you wouldn't bother me about things like this. The only thing I can offer you is the Luna position and re

  • Alpha Daddy Is My Step Uncle   A Very Rough Night

    Chapter Seventeen A very rough night /-Isla-/I didn't have the time to fully process what she said because the wolf on top of us was gradually overpowering us.There was no escape route either because we were enclosed in a circle of spectating wolves. Just when I thought it was over for us, something flashed through the circle and knocked him off me. “Mate!” Arla leapt in joy. “He came!” Arla sat up despite the pain, and together, we watched the huge grey wolf crush the other's neck in a matter of seconds.It tossed the corpse aside, and the rest of the wolves tried backing away, but they weren't so lucky. The speed and accuracy at which the Alpha wolf used to sink his canines into their necks was almost unimaginable. He dropped the last limp body, and that was when Arla's pain and weakness suddenly descended on me. Like it had been on hold because of the fight. I shifted back to human form and the injuries I saw on my skin were all unbelievable. Arla was too weak to heal me n

  • Alpha Daddy Is My Step Uncle   Call On Me

    Chapter Eighteen Call on me/-Isla-/One minute I was almost certain that he'd lost control and the next, he moved away from me like I was hot iron. “I'm sorry,” he apologized. “I shouldn't come off on you like that.” I was gobsmacked. Never in my wildest dreams had I imagined that Roman would apologize to me. Yet his dstance gave my brain the much needed space to process everything. “I'll get you something to wear. Don't move,” he said and walked away.I couldn't even if I wanted to. This man clearly had no idea about the depth of the effect he had on me. As I stared at his retreating figure, I couldn't help but wonder how a man who had been so dismissive of me in the past was now so… seductive and possessive. Was it because of the matebond? I certainly hoped not. I wouldn't be able to survive any more of this torture. I waited there for him, seizing the opportunity to regain my composure and allow my body to return to normal. In less than ten minutes, he was back in a dress

    Chapter Nineteen Frustration isn't cute /-Isla-/I woke up later than I expected. I was exhausted out of my mind but I needed to go to work. It was my first day and I couldn't afford to make a bad impression on my first day. I didn't even know what kind of person Mrs Lang would be. It was 8:30 when I arrived at the company. I was dressed in the pantsuit I wanted to wear yesterday. Thankfully, my injuries were already gone and I couldn't feel the pain anymore. Arla healed up in my sleep. I headed to the second floor where Mrs Lang's office was located, clutching tightly to my internship letter.I was supposed to be an employee but of course, Roman just had to prove himself. I let out a sigh and knocked twice. “Come in,” came an immediate response, and I entered. Mrs. Lang sat behind a massive, sleek black desk, her sharp eyes assessing me the moment I stepped through the door. She didn’t smile. No, that would have been too much. Instead, her expression was hard, her posture str

I didn't do anything to her. Goddess knows that i don't even know her name!” I said. She didn't look even a tad hit convinced. “Your little amateur lies will not save you from this. Stop wasting your breath and leave. I warned you about this before hand, didn't I?” She reminded me. “I don't give second chances so don't bother begging.” A tear rolled down my cheeks. I was frustrated and didn't bother explaining myself further. I just packed up and walkd out of the office. I wiped my tears furiously as I walked down the hall. Less than two hours I arrived here and I was already leaving permanently. I bumped hard into someone and staggered back. Before I could fall, a strong pair of arms wrapped around my waist. “Isla,” that familiar baritone drew my attention to

    Chapter Twenty-OneA new friend/-Isla-/Lunch break came sooner than expected and even then, I was happy to go. Ksit a few hours here and it already felt like I was working for an eternity. “You can take a break now,” Mrs Lang told me. “Get yourself something to eat.” I didn't even try to play the perfect employee and stay back like she did to finish my work. I was off my seat and grabbing my purse. I could feel her judgement gaze on me even though she was the one who I should go for my break. I walked out of the room, relieved to be out of her sight and headed downstairs. As I stepped out of the elevator, I met someone. A blond with soft blue eyes just outside the elevator. “Hello,” he smiled at me. “Hello,” I responded politely. “You're new here, right?” He asked and I nodded. “I'm Garry, you?” I couldn't help wondering if he didn't actually know who I was. I mean everyone knew members of the royal bloodline right?“Isla,” I responded, taking his hand. “There's a restaura

You don't owe him anything,” Roman said plainly. “For moon's sake, it is just lunch! Not a date!” I groaned. “I am just trying to show some courtesy.”He didn't argue with me any further. He simply grabbed my hand and pulled me along with him back to the office. I could feel the dozens of eyes on us and I just wanted to disappear. Why was this man bent in making my life difficult? Wasn't it hard enough already? He didn't stop until we were both in his private elevator. “What are you doing, Roman?” I demanded. “Did you see the way everyone was staring at us?” “So fucking what?” He suddenly advanced towards me and I moved backwards. The predatory look in his eyes made my legs feel like jelly. “Why…why are you coming so close to me?” I stuttered out as I backed away from him. “Don't… don't com

He has lost his fucking mind!I stared in shock, unable to utter a word as the anger dancing in those seafoam orbs directed at me. “Greetings, Alpha,” Carlos bowed with a puzzled expression on his face. “What are you doing back here?” Roman asked and I blinked. Is he being serious right now? Does he know what he's about to do?Carlos looked between me and Roman in confusion. “I came to see the princess…” he said helplessly. “I… didn't think there was anything wrong with that.”“You don't see anything wrong with an omega kissing the princess of Crescent Moon before the guards and maids?” Roman raised a brow and I watched Carlos' face go red in embarrassment. A gasp fell off my lips. Everyone was watching the scene now. Who the hell does he think he is to embarrass my boyfriend before everyone?“And what is wrong with that?” I fired. “We are going to get married anyways!” Roman turned to me with an icy expression. “ I do

    Chapter Twenty six Split Personalities /-Isla-/Office was hell for me. Liana made sure to frustrate me in every way possible. She seized my lunch breaks, stacked my desk with endless paperwork and ssnt me on errands I had no business running.She didn't want be me any opportunity to report her. I was so stressed out that every time I got home, I just crashed on the bed and slept till the next day. I was miserable and tired, yet there was nothing I could do about it.I knew she was punishing me for some sister of hers but I still didn't know who this sister was and what exactly I did to her to deserve such hatred. Even Garry was prevented for checking up on me. I was isolated and suffocating in the little office that had somehow managed to become hell. Today was Friday and I honestly couldn't wait for close of work. I needed to rest my mind, soul and body. “Isla,” Liana called suddenly and I felt my heart sink. “We both know it's weekend and we don't work on weekends…”My heart

    Chapter Twenty FiveA shocking turn of events/-Isla-/“Princess.” I paused by the door, turning to the maid. “Yes? Is there a problem?” I asked. “The Alpha demands your presence. He is waiting by the pool,” she said. Roman? Again? What could he possibly want this time? I just got back and I can't even have a moment of peace? Hasn't he done enough at the office already?“Okay,” I forced a smile. “I will be there shortly.” She bowed and walked away. I walked into my room and dropped my bag. I went to the bathroom to splash water on my face. I stared at my reflection in the mirror. I almost didn't recognise the girl that stared back at me. My sapphire eyes were dim from stress and my hair was a mess. “Alpha, huh?” I sighed, moving away from the sink. As I walked out of my room, heading to the pool area, I couldn't help but wonder why Roman chose to meet me there. I mean, what happened to the garden? Courtyard? Lounge? Rooftop?‘You’re desperately trying to find fault in everythi

    Chapter Twenty-FourPlan B/-Manda-/Liana was the last person I expected to see soon in the palace. She had always been against my marriage to Roman, said he didn't deserve me, but it didn't stop me from complaining to her every time things went bad. But she had never come here to visit me. Not since the wedding. I met her waiting for me in the courtyard. “Liana,” I breathed and she smiled at me. “Manda.” I went in for a tight hug. I haven't seen in person for almost two years now. The last time I saw her was when I heard she got newly employed at Skylac. I went there to celebrate with her. “It's so good to see you,” I said.“You too, baby sis,” she patted my back gently. “Come with me,” I ushered her to the table which was the maids prepared for two of us. They served a bottle of wine and biscuits. “What would you like to eat? I'll ask the servants to prepare immediately.” “That won't be necessary. I am okay with the wine and biscuits,” she assured me. “That's why I'm taller

    Chapter Twenty Three A second chance /-Isla-/It was pointless, yet I don't even know why I try.After he gave me that answer, he coldly dismissed me. Asking me to get back to work like none of it ever happened. It hurt. A lot more than I wanted to admit but there was nothing I could do. No form of reverse psychology would ever make him change his mind. I was stuck with him whether I liked it or not. I was too exhausted to try to searched for Garry after work, to apologise for what happened earlier. I guess that would have to wait until tomorrow. I just wanted to go home now and sleep it off. Thankfully, Mrs Lang didn't hoard me with work to do at home so I walked out of the building the same way I came. The driver was already waiting for me.“Greetings, your highness,” he bowed Andi nodded in acknowledgement. I entered the car and let my body fall against the leather seat. My phone rang at that moment and I wanted to ignore it but something just told me to check. I picked it
