*** Melanie ***This is the first time I have ever been to Alan and Helen’s house, and I am both in awe and jealous at the same time. They live in a quiet cul-de-sac in a private estate. Their house is modest but immaculately kept. It is decorated tastefully and with pride.Apart from one photo of Helen and Alan together, there is no evidence of Alan belonging here. The photographs of Summer are numerous and it’s the first time I have seen the daughter of my lover. She is cute, although there is hardly any of Alan in her, she favours her mother in looks.I feel inadequate as I look around. My rented home is nothing in comparison to this place, why on earth would Alan want to leave this comfortable and beautiful home with his wife and daughter to come and live with me?Then it hits me all at once: it’s because he loves me! He has never ever said it to me even when I have asked him, he’s replied yes but he’s never said the words. But now I understand, he must really, really love me and

Seven years ago, he said he was almost finished with her. Only a couple of months later he broke my heart into a thousand pieces when he announced to everyone that he and Helen had eloped, and he had popped her cherry. He announced it in the bar in front of everyone giving me no heads up or inclination of what was happening. Alan told us all he and his gorgeous wife were off to start a new life in Germany. He didn’t even make eye contact with me, he just acted like I didn’t exist or matter. He just sat there pulling Helen all over him, pawing at her and bragging about her.Later that same night he came into my bedroom through the window, and we made love for the last time. I didn’t know it was going to be the last time but he basically called it a leaving present afterwards. I wasn’t sure if that was for me or him.I point out the small photograph of him and Helen on their wedding day and Alan scowls at me. “Not now, Mel, for fucks sake,” he snarls at me before placing the photograph

*** Halle ***When I get to my father’s office, Brad is inside with a leggy blonde with far too much leg and breast on show. I stay outside and listen to what is happening.“Bring me the files and leave them on my desk.” I hear a filing cabinet sliding open. “Is this all the stuff we have on social services, Erin?”“Yes, sir, but my name is Bethany, remember?” There is a small silence followed by rustling and more drawers opening.“Yeah, yeah whatever, love. Look, Ms Morales will be here any minute and she needs help locating a little girl. I need the contact we have for social services, child protection, the lot. Who is our contact?”There is some page turning, “Oh, here it is, Mr. Suarez, it’s a guy named Gerry, he works in child protection.”“Okay that’ll be all, Stephanie, could you please show Ms Morales straight in when she arrives? Thank you.”I hear a huff of exasperation and some muttering under her breath. “My name is Bethany!” I can’t help but smile when the blonde comes ou

“I don’t think there is anything to say. You are being trained to take over from MY father because you have a dick and I don’t. You get to take my inheritance, my birthright, because I am a silly woman who could never cope in this man’s world.” He raises his eyebrows at me and I see a smirk starting to grow.“Ok then, so the elephant stays for now but maybe later you will give me a few moments of your time to correct you on what is actually going on here. Until then, we have a little girl to track.”As he starts to show me everything, he has collated in the time it has taken me to drive over here, I cannot help but be impressed with him. Our first port of call is one of our moles in Child Protection. I go to get out my phone when Brad places his hand on mine, and I feel like he has filled my body with an explosive.Whenever I get near, I start to feel weird around him, like a desire like I’ve never known before. My vibrator is going to be pounded tonight and I’m sick to my stomach tha

*** Melanie ***Alan is raging as he drives my car like a maniac through the streets back to our side of town. “She thinks she can just bring some other man into my house with my kid in it. Well, she’s got another thing coming, she is getting no divorce from me, the whore. Who does she think she is?”“But I thought that was what you wanted Alan, to be able to divorce Helen and move on with me? I don’t see why you are so angry. She was the one who caught us in the act, remember,” I tell him. The words are hardly out of my mouth before he stops the car abruptly.“Get out now!” he shouts at me; his eyes are wide and wild and his spit flies everywhere, making me cringe. “Get out of this fucking car now, Mel, before I punch your face in.”Tears roll down my face. “This is my car; we are driving to my house. I am not a pushover like Helen, you can’t talk to me like you talk to her.” I stand up to him for the first time knowing if I allow this to happen, this will set the tone for the rest o

*** Brad ***I realise how lucky I am that Halle has trusted me enough to help her. It has been frosty between us for over three months and as much as I am annoyed at both our parents for poking their noses in, I cannot deny that I want her. I want Halle Morales like my life depends on it. I would be a fool to not want her, she is incredible.This started off as a business arrangement, but boy could that woman keep me honest. She takes none of my crap, she stands up to me, she has a brilliant mind and work ethic, and it does help that she is sexy as hell and fiery and passionate.Ever since that night when I caught her before she fell down the stairs head first, all I can think about is the connection between us. There is a chemistry there that I have never felt with any other woman, she has me enraptured and her elusiveness just fuels that even more. To prove my point, I start to harden at the memory of her in my arms.We are just coming out of the local authority building and she is

*** Slayne ***I have been on the hunt for a couple of hours trying to find the little girl. There is nothing in the systems and, despite intimidating some young girl who works within the child protection department, all I had found out is that Summer was assessed by a woman called Carole Berkley who has called into the office sick now.I call Ivan, and I want to cry with how distant he sounds to me. “Yes?” That’s how he answers my call, he used to always call me beautiful, and I would chastise him. Now I have to settle for a ‘Yes’!“Beta Ivan, could you please run a check for me, I need everything you can pull on Carole Berkley who works for children services.” I wait for his reply but it’s not what I had hoped for.“I will send it through now, bye.”It feels like my heart drops into my boots. This feels like the long goodbye. I need to do something fast to show Ivan that I do care, but after all this time, will that be enough?True to his word, all the information about Carole Berkl

*** Halle ***I watch in disbelief as my best friend walks into the café holding hands with Alpha Manzitti Goldrick. What the actual fuck is going on? I also groan internally as I see the Alpha has brought his obnoxiously rude sister, I cannot be bothered sparring with her today, she is like a chihuahua constantly ankle biting and retorting and yapping.Brad converses with them with ease, he quickly addresses Alpha Manzitti and Lieutenant Slayne before hugging Helen and inviting them all to sit. I notice the protective way the Alpha looks at Helen especially when Brad hugs her. I wonder!“Eve, what happened? You finished work and then there was no sign of you after you left to get into your car.” I look at her with concern, especially when her eyes fill with tears.“I was kidnapped, Sal. Just before I got to my car someone grabbed me and stuck a sack over me and took me away somewhere. I was bound and gagged and locked in a cage. I missed Summer’s pick up. Alan the piece of shit refus
