Mag-log inAssistant’s POVThe moment I passed beyond the gate, I exhaled.At least, I could finally get the opportunity to do my own thing instead of always being at the beck and call of that silly woman. She sent me out on a simple errand, and as happy as I was to be out of the house, I felt totally disrespected.“Is this really worth it, man? Do you really have to run errands for a half-brained, silly woman who can’t even think for herself?”I let out a deep sigh.I guess it’s the sacrifice I have to pay for my endeavors. As the thought settled over me, I was happy again that I had taken the step from the beginning.It was the absolute best.I had that silly woman believing we were in some alignment. A belief that greatly amused me, but boy wasn’t working for me.I began walking down the street, waiting to come out before I could get a cab, as I had rejected her offer of going with one of the official cars from the White House.I couldn’t afford to take that risk and lead someone else to my
Horace’s POVI opened my eyes quickly, turning to the body beside me.I was met with silence, but not the peaceful kind. It was wrong, eerie in fact. My heart thudded as I ran my eyes over her body. Her skin looked washed off its normal color, lips faint, and lashes trembling as if even sleep was too unbearable for her. “Elena,” I murmured beside her ear. “Baby?”Her lashes fluttered open, and then she lurched.I jumped out of bed in an instant, catching her hair as she leaned over the edge, body heaving violently.But there was barely anything to come up. She sagged once it passed, trembling.She looked so weak, and the sight made my heart twist painfully.“I’ve got you,” I said, patting her back gently.“I’ve got you, baby,” I repeated.“I’m fine.” She mumbled.But she wasn’t.My wolf purred under my skin, uneasy and growling low.“'Cause you’re not going to work today.” I said.She tried to set up, preparing to argue.“I’ve got rounds, Horace. I’ve been missing too much. I just
Vivienne’s POVI barged into my room, feeling my head spin.I began pacing back and forth in the middle of the room. Confused. The heels of my shoes struck the floor in sharp, angry sounds.The officer's words kept replaying in my head.What did they mean by my name was amongst those Elena sent money to.An accomplice.That was just impossible. We created it all. Victor and I. So how in the hell did my name turn up in a search like that?I stopped in the middle of my room abruptly, my hand falling on the table beside me.“What in the hell is going on?” I whispered in the empty room. How? Just how could this happen?I didn’t want to admit it, but at that moment, a bit of fear had begun to creep in on me.Several thoughts crossed my mind. The worst being that someone was onto us and found a way to add my name to the list just to teach me a lesson.But again, that had to be impossible. Only Victor and I were aware of our plans.Just then, the door pushed open quietly, and in walked Vict
Horace’s POVI stood by the main door, watching as the guards escorted the police towards their car before making my way back up to the bedroom.When I got in, I saw her looking spaced out on the bed, and I was so pissed to see her like that. I just wanted to find the bastard who was behind everything and teach them a lesson myself.You could mess with me in any way and even get away with it because I wouldn’t care, but coming after my family, my pregnant wife, was the absolute height of madness. And no one got away with that height of madness from me.“Elena.”She turned, got up, and ran into my arms immediately.“Hey, hey, I’m right here, okay. You’re fine. Nothing is going to happen to you, you’re fine with me.”“Oh, Horace, I should’ve listened to you. I shouldn’t have done that silly interview; it only ended up messing with me more.”After a while of locking her in my arms, I pulled back a little, cupping her face in my hands.“Hey, look at me, no regrets, okay. You did what you
Elena’s POV“We received financial evidence indicating a significant amount of money that was directed from the central medical account to a private account that was linked back to you.”The chief said, and right then, I wondered if I should have listened to Horace. I thought I was prepared but listening to them say those words to me was deeply hurtful and unsettling.I shook my head. “That’s impossible. At least not for me. I have no idea how that even happened. And I have no private bank overseas where I divert money into.”“I believe you. I mean, it is even crazy that these officers would try to link this to you.” Vivienne jumped in quickly, squeezing my hand.I was grateful she was beside me.“We believe you, Luna, but right now we are at a crossroads.”“What do you mean by that?”“We actually received this report a few months back.”My breath caught. “What? What do you mean by "you received this report a few months back?”“Exactly, Luna. The report was mailed to us, accusing you
Vivienne’s POVI walked beside her slowly as we made our way to the guest living room, where the police officers were already waiting.I could feel the tension in the air, which made my heart flutter more.She looked pale and swollen with stress, and one could easily tell that she had probably spent all night thinking about the whole case.I touched her shoulder gently in a comforting manner. “Don’t worry, I’m here for you. You don’t have to let it get to you, okay. Think about the baby, about your son, Ethan. Everything will be fine. It’s not like the alpha will sit back and let them go crazy.”She sighed, giving me a weak, grateful smile.“It’s not even any of that I’m worried about.”“So what is it?”“I just can’t seem to wrap my head around it. There is something deeper at play here, I know it, but I can’t seem to pinpoint it down to what or who it could be.”Hmmm. At that moment, I wondered if my name had crossed her mind. Then I realized I really had been so stupid with my earl
