KAREN:Immediately I opened her eyes, I groaned as my body felt a little bit numb. Cocking my head to the left, the only person I was was Tyler."Hey." He said, still seated a few inches away from me. I didn't say a word but took my gaze away from him. I had nothing to say to him after what had happened about a week ago.I was hoping Tyler would say something to me, or at least he would tell me to say something to him, but I remembered our last conversation before I got hurt and passed out. It only made me realize that Tyler never wanted me but the baby. That was probably the only thing bonding us together and keeping this marriage.The thought of it made me so scared because I knew that I was gradually falling in love with him without showing it.There was a knock on the door, and a few seconds later, the door opened. Zane stepped in. Tyler rose on his feet and walked towards him, while I stared at both of them. I had no idea what they were saying, but Zane walked up to me when they
EMILY:When I woke up the next morning, I freshened up and came downstairs for breakfast. I was expecting to see Christian be seated and waiting for Lilith and me, but the dining table was empty.I halted right in front of it and looked around recalling that Christian didn't come back home yesterday. I waited for him till I decided to go to bed."Did Christian come home yesterday?" I asked a maid who was busy dusting and cleaning the living room. She shook her head in negation, and I instantly became worried.I reached for the stairs and headed back to the room to get my phone, and when I did, I instantly placed a call. After several trials, it wasn't going through.He had his life to live and he could go anywhere he wanted to, but why the hell was I worried about where he could be right now? I was even more worried that he didn't come home last night.The hospital was the only place I could check.Stupid thoughts filled my head, but I had to cast them aside because I knew Christian w
ALPHA TYLER:"damnit Zane, what the fucking hell is happening?"I took a deep breath in after hitting the table hard as I stared at the paper right in front of me. Every damn thing was a fucking mess already and it seemed like no matter how much I was trying my best to man everything better, it just couldn't work out straight."I have no idea either. They keep backing down and none of them want to have anything to do with the company anymore. There's nothing more we can do now because we received a message that constant persuasion would lead to a suit""How dare those old fools treat me this way? Do they fucking know who they are messing with?"Zane was quiet while I kept thinking about the next step to take. I turned around and stared at him. "Can you get me information on Mr. Kane, Mr. Finn, Mr Alessandro, and Mr Williams? I need to find out every damn thing about them if I really want this meeting to happen.Zane nodded his head and walked out of my office.I walked towards the win
CHRISTIAN:"The baby's out!"With my nose mask still on, I took out a deep breath, and continued with whatever I was doing. My sole reason for working this hard was Emily, and as I thought about her, I was really determine to save the patient faster."Place the baby in an incubator." I instructed a nurse and decided to continue with the operation. I could still feel my heart beating fast, and the uneasiness in me getting worse."Let's patch things up." I said to the doctors who were assisting me.As I was about to carry on, I cocked my head backwards, and saw Emily standing outside through the transparent glass.A few moments later, I cocked my head back to continue the operation."Her blood pressure's dropping. I think the patient's reacting to something."I had lost concentration, and I had absolutely no idea what the fuck I was doing because I waw scared. I took two steps backwards, although not too far from the patient."Doctor Christian, what are we gonna do? At this rate, we're
EMILY:I groaned lightly as all I felt was bad and heavy pain around my forehead. I tried to stand up, but I couldn't. When my vision became clear again, my eyes met with the figure of a man on the other side of the room with his back turned on me.He had not noticed I was awake, and it seemed his mind was rather occupied with something else.When I groaned loudly, he immediately turned around and faced me."Hey, hey, are you alright?" I didn't reply to him. He helped me sit upright on the bed, and when I was finally able to see his face properly, I recognized him as the policeman who had helped me earlier."Thanks…""It's fine. Are you alright?" I nodded my head in return, and when he let go of my hand, he sat down close to me. "How long have I been out?""It's just 4 hours. You almost got into an accident, but you're safe now. I'm in no position to ask you what happened, so I'll leave you to rest."He rose to his feet, but as he was about to walk away, I held his hand back. "I hav
NATALIA:Sulking in my pain, I wrecked my hands through my hair. My breathing was erratic, and the only thing I could feel was burning rage eating deeper into my soul.Fuck I wanted to be high…. I wanted to take some drugs and forget the pain, but sadly, I kept thinking about the look on his face when he hugged her.Christian never looked at me that way.My heart kept pounding.I left work after seeing them together because it was hard to concentrate. Walking over to the center table, I picked up the glass and bottle of alcohol on the table and poured a little quantity into it.I could feel my throat burning hot, but that wasn't still enough to make the rage inside of me stop because the only thing that engulfed my mind was what I had seen earlier. It hurts so much knowing that Christian was in love or he was gradually falling in love with Emily.I sniffled and filled the glass with more drink, then gulped down everything at a go."Fuck!!" A scream tore out of my lips when I heard my
EMILY:I got to the hospital and thanked Trent who had brought me there. As I stepped down, I was expecting him to leave, but he didn't. Instead he followed me inside."Can you wait for me here, I have to see someone urgently."When he nodded his head, I began to rush to Christian's office. I had not gotten in when I heard him call my name. I turned around to see him behind me, and I had no idea what came over me because what happened next was me rushing towards him and hugging him so tight."What the hell happened to you? You left without…..""I know and I'm sorry. I just wanted some time alone to think about everything going on in my life. I wanted to pour out my frustrations somewhere else when I saw her struggling."He rubbed my hair while I cried on his shoulders.When I broke the hug, Christian noticed the bandage on my forehead."What happened?"I didn't want to tell him it was an accident. "I hurt myself a few hours ago but I'm fine Christian, I promise. I just want to see Ani
ALPHA TYLER:Zane walked in, but he wasn't alone.I waited till the young lady was standing right in front of me before I rose to my feet and outstretched my hand for a handshake. Her face looked so cold, and red at the same time."Ms. Natalia George?"We both took our seats afterwards and I beckoned Zane to get me and the young lady a bottle of wine. When he walked away, I adjusted my suit jacket properly and cleared my throat aloud"You must be surprised I called you here.""I knew you were definitely going to seek my attention one day, and I'm glad you did." She smiled, the left corner of her cheek showing a dimple deep and beautiful."So what do you have for me, Ms Talia."I folded my legs together, leaning back on my seat and staring at the beautiful figure in front of me. As I leaned backward, she leaned forward, resting her elbow on the table keeping us apart and ensuring her cleavages were visible enough for me to see."Let's discuss your ex-wife, and mate, Emily."I knew what
