LOGINArmandās POV I have to begin to prepare. I donāt think I want to wait anymore, I said to my beta, Jeremy. Both of us were at my company, attending to some work in the office, as I called my beta and asked him to sit so we could discuss something very important. āAlpha Armand, are you sure you want to do this quickly?ā he asked. As he looked bothered with seriousness, I answered him. āI am very sure, Beta Jeremy. This wedding must take place as soon as possible. I donāt think I want to wait for three months. I have been thinking overnight. And itās best for Jessica and me to speed this up than to delay it. That way, we can chase away Oriana once and for all.ā It was a few days after the incident with Jessica, and I could not help but feel sorry for yelling at my sweetheart. She had every right to be angry with her. A humbling block on our path. And this was just because she want
Jessicaās POV Immediately, the maid came with a tray carrying medicine to treat my burns, but screamed when she saw Oriana coughing. āWhatās happening?ā she asked with fear in her voice and went to meet and support Oriana. I was shocked by Armandās presence. His eyes were red, and he looked at me. And it pierced into my soul. What was he doing awake? I thought he was honestly sleeping. I watched how Armand and the maid took Oriana out of the bathroom and ignored my presenceāwell, not Armand. He turned around to look at me and gave me the worst look I have ever seen anyone give anyone. Then he passed by me, ignored me, and exited the bathroom. I was still shaking. Was he aware that I was there? I shook as I followed them from behind. Both Armand and the maid helped Oriana to sit on the bed. The person who even tried to drown me was acting like the v
Jessicaās POV That same midnight, around three in the morning, I snuck out of my room and went to Orianaās room. The door was somehow opened. And it gave me a chance to see Oriana and the maid sleeping together. The maid was lying down on a duvet on the floor, and Oriana lay down on the bed. She slept very soundly like a queen. And it irritated me. You cannot escape me this time around. I said, and I tiptoed inside the room with my hands behind my back. I carefully passed the maid that was sleeping so that she did not feel or hear me. I went to the other side of the bed and pulled my hand out. In my hand, I held a bowl of hot water, which I had brought with me under the pretence of using it to press Orianaās head. I held it so that if Jeremy or any guard saw me, they wouldnāt question me. Where should I pour this? I thought, as I searched for the right place to pour the hot water on Oria
Jessica POV Jeremy told Armand to leave,And assured him that he is going to take care of everything. "You can go and rest, Alpha. You still have a lot of work to do, and you still have to go to the office this morning. Do not worry about anything," Jeremy said. Armand did not look ready to leave. He kept looking at Oriana. I did not like this at all. I started to feel uncomfortable. "Heās right, Alpha. I am going to be fine. I have also taken the drugs Dr. Ashley prescribed, and Iām going to be fine," Oriana said with a faint voice and smiled at Armand. Her smile annoyed me greatly. I looked at Armand from the side and noticed that he began to be angry at the smile Oriana was giving him. I honestly hoped it was not what I was thinking. He took his betaās advice and left the room. As he turned to leave, his eyes landed on me. There was a moment of si
Jessicaās POV Did Armand just ignore me? I was surprised by Armandās actions. He neglected me and took that girl in his hold. Is he blind? Could he not see that she was pretending so he would shift his attention to her? I knew, because I had done something similar to Armand to get him to come back to me. Oriana was lying. I watched as Armand swept her off her feet and took her out of the room. He went at super-wolf speed and left me behind. His action made me very furious. This night was supposed to be very special for both of us, with no distractions. But the orphan lady spoiled it single-handedly. And Armandāhe is not possibly serious. I groaned and went after him. Armand came and called out to his beta, and the servants came to assist him, and he headed to Orianaās room. "Alpha, what happened to her?" Jeremy asked when he saw Armand running through the hall with a screaming Oriana in h
Orianaās POV Jessica could not take what was happening, and she screamed and rose to her feet in anger. "I'm sorry." Bella kept apologising like she was scared, but my wolf did not care about any of them. "You wretched thing." Jessica growled and kicked the table to the side. She walked to me and raised her hand to give me a slap. But to her greatest surprise, Bella held her hand, and this left Jessica too stunned to speak. "Howāhow dare you, tramp?" She yelled at her and tried to pull her hand back, but Bella did not allow her. "I said I was sorry. Are your ears blocked that you did not hear?" Bella said and looked at her boldly, and it shocked Jessica. Her grip was so tight around Jessicaās wrist, and it surprised Jessica, who pulled her hand away and stepped back with fear. Her eyes were no longer yellow, which showed that there was no fear in them. "Oriana!" Armand
