Chapter 46Nadia's povI didn't bother going where I was heading before, I only climbed back into my car after Elena had ran into hers immediately I had thrown the heart-recking bomb at her. I drove back home and harbored into my room, a smile smile plastered on my face. Getting my heels of, I threw it somewhere on the hardwood floor and jumped upon my bed. I know of how enraged Chase would be when he gets to know of what I had; how I had spluttered out our secret plan to her without even a moment of thinking through it. But if I'm the one that's causing him anger evaporation, I should also know how to quench that anger when he comes to face me. I did it in jest of her, but I can't say I regret it one bit because I didn't.If there's one thing I know- it's the fact that Elena deserves nothing of sort from me. In the beginning, I shouldn't have challenged her for Chase. Her being my friend's mate, I should be loving her, cherishing her and wanting her to stay forever with him but it's
Chapter 47Elena's povI drove back home and parking my car at the parking lot, I wasn't surprised when I looked sideways and the guards are anticipating their waits at either sides of my car. Sighing out, I retrieved my car key from the ignition and climbed out of the car, slamming it shut and pressing down on the keys for the lock. It peeped positively and I walked away, the guards on my trail."Princess, the Alpha wants you in his chamber immediately after your arrival."one of them said, opening the door and stepping aside at the doorway. I briskly walked away from them and straight to my father's chamber. I knew I just have to accept my fate; whatever comes after it, I have no other choice. I was raising my hand to knock when his voice interrupted me."Come in."I didn't bother thinking how he knew I was here, I put my hand on the doorknob and pushed my way in, shutting it quietly behind me. The letter was dumped on my face immediately and catching it midway the air, I looked up a
Chapter 48Elena's povI slammed the door to my room shut and turned the keys securely in the lock. Pangs of breath escaped my nostrils as I backed the door, awaiting the next turn of my life. Father gets to know about what have just done, he rebukes me- What next? If there's anything I know, I'd rather take for the hills than get with someone out of the blue in the name of being 'betrothed'.My eyes caught the glimpse of a tray of food on the table. My stomach growled in the pit of my stomach as if on clue. I backed away from the door and grabbing the tray of food from the table, I plopped onto the bed. I uncovered the food and luckily, a fork was chunked inside the chicken casserole. I haven't eaten since yesterday night, and instead of wondering who had placed this here, I took the fork and got a forkful of the casserole."Elena!"The casserole was halfway the way to my mouth when father's angry growl from downstairs reached my ear. Frantically with widened eyes, I hastily began chu
Chapter 49Elena's povI parked my car inside of Chase's building as an unsettling feeling settled in the pit of my stomach. Holding the steering wheel, I wanted to reverse out of the parking lot immediately but I guess since I was already here, I might as well drop it and go on. Since naturally the last time we met was just yesterday, and everything was clearly fine between us before I left. Moreover, meeting him would be more better than staying around Maddox-freaking-lustful-eyes for the whole of today, because it doesn't seems like he would be leaving anything soon.Before I can think against it again, I was already out of my car and walking to the front door. I was surprised when it was only a few guards standing around, this isn't his pack so all his workers here are minimal. I raised my hand to knock on the door, acknowledging a smile at the guards standing sideways and they bowed their heads in return. A thick cold familiar voice resonated through the air, and draws away my at

Chapter 51Chase's povI knocked on the door and await a response from my father. He's been staying here with me since when he came to pay me a visit. I heard shuffling of foots and shifted back just as the door opened, and my father looked up at me as he tried smoothing his hair out. He smiled at me and instead of returning the gesture, I briefly bowed."Good morning, father."Raising my head up, he patted my back as he shut the door and moved to stand beside me. I pointed towards the staircases and his eyes followed my signal."Breakfast is ready."I muttered and instead of the usual reply of 'OK' he nervously rubbed the nape of his head, while avoiding an eye contact with me. I arched my brow in confusion, leaning my back against the doorway to give me a full arc of his face."Sorry, Chase. But, I have to go."Still not sparing a look at me, he turned to the door and pushing his way in and grabbing a coat from inside, he walked back out and shutting the door, he patted my shoulder twi
Chapter 52Third Person's pov"Your Father's"Hearing that from Chase caused a mini heart attack to her heart. She didn't even know that her heart beats wouldn't be out of her chest yet, but would only be thumping so loud in her chest. Waves of fright courses pain through her nerves as she saw the real business right before them; her father's mansion. Chase stomped his right foot on the break, and furiously stalked out of the car, Elena hot on his trail.The security guard opened the gate on seeing Elena right behind him. The guard immediately shifted back and aside on seeing the large pace Chase was taking in, and sure enough, it was good how he prevented himself from being knocked down. Before Chase could get to the front door, Elena became more energetic and obstructed his way."Chase, you can't go in there. My father is not going to find it funny once he sets his eyes on you, something will go wrong. Please Chase, let's just go back."her voice was laced with anxiety as she spoke w
