Alpha Gabriel PovI was having a Zoom meeting with my business partners when the door swung open revealing Asher holding the document I had requested earlier. He placed it on the table before me, then casually helped himself to a can of soda from the refrigerator, his presence blending seamlessly with the room's ambiance. Asher settled into the Sofa chair patiently waiting for me to get done with the meeting."That will be all for now", I announced after a while signaling the end of the meeting, with that I clicked on the end meeting button at the bottom right corner of my system.I glanced at Asher who was engrossed with his phone and taking a sip of the soda with his other hand with his legs crossed as usual, he seemed not to notice that I was done with the Zoom meeting.I decided to go through the document he had brought, meticulously scanning each pages for potential errors or amendments.After a while, I was done without detecting any errors, I was satisfied with what he had prep
A week later…..Selena povToday, I have an appointment with my gynecologist. It's a rescheduled appointment because I have been so busy tending to orders at the bakery. The constant referrals pouring in after delivering Mrs Jones's granddaughter's birthday cake has been overwhelming.Some clients would insist that I single-handedly bake it myself while some don't care who bakes and decorates the cake as long as it comes from my bakery. Thankfully we have Charles in our midst now and I couldn't be more grateful.He joined a few days back and I would say he's exceptionally good at what he does. Scarlett wasn't wrong about him a bit, he was able to get along with the girls, especially Evelyn. One would think it was the same day I employed them.I arrived at the hospital, this wasn't your typical overcrowded hospital swarming with patients. It's a private hospital and it's quite expensive- the decor was sleek and modern and their staff was friendly and attentive.It's the same hospital A

I had lost count of the number of times I read the email just to be sure it wasn't an illusion.I wasn't able to get through to Asher throughout yesterday, I called him but he didn't pick up, perhaps he was busy. I decided to call him later today.Entering the shop, I spotted Norah setting up the display area, completely engrossed in what she was doing, unaware of my presence. A mischievous idea crept into my mind, and I couldn't resist the urge to give her a playful scare to get her reaction.With a suppressed giggle, I stealthily approached her, intending to catch her off guard making sure she didn't notice my presence. Just as I was about to execute my plan, she suddenly turned around, letting out a surprise yelp at the sight of me."Geez, Selena you scared me", she said, patting her chest gently."Really, sorry Norah, didn't mean to startle you", I ch

Ember let out a sigh of relief.Relief washed over me, I opened my eyes, and I spotted a figure stepping out of the Mercedes-Benz Car as he approached me. It was Asher, the pack beta."Are you blind? can't you see you are in the middle of the road?" he snapped angrily.I lifted my head to meet his gaze, and a flicker of surprise crossed his face as he recognized me."Selena, it's you" his voice calm, "Thank goodness, I didn't run you over."By the way, what are you doing out here?

Selena POVA few weeks had passed since I left the mansion and I haven't been able to secure another job.I wasn't going to lie and say it doesn't bother me because it did. I need to get a job to support both myself and my mom.Sometimes, I can't help but wonder how different our lives would be if my dad were here with us.Speaking of my dad, I don't know if he's still alive or not. The thought of his existence has often lingered at the back of my mind leaving me with unanswered questions.Why has my mother never spoken of him? What pain has he caused by her?Pushing the thoughts aside, I dragged myself out of bed and made my way to the bathroom to freshen up.Feeling refreshed, I ruffle through my wardrobe trying to figure out what to wear. I finally picked a simple and corporate dress. I applied a touch of makeup on my face and tied my hair back in a neat ponytail.Satisfied with my look I slung my bag over my shoulders and stepped out of my room, heading towards the living room.I
