Se connecterAssistant’s POVI made sure to kiss the girl before me so well that it would push Elena straight to a point of madness. Just where I wanted her to be. That crazy place where the moment she laid her eyes on her silly husband, she would lung at him.I wasn’t stupid, so I knew very well how clever Elena was. How clever she had always been.And that was precisely where my next plan took hold. I didn’t have much time. And I wasn’t about to sit around waiting for whatever silly plans Vivienne had. After work, I had plans of my own for her as well.I needed to get rid of the Alpha as soon as possible, and I knew that one of the most successful ways to do that was to cause a rift between me and Elena.Everybody knew how obsessed he was with her, and if they were to start having serious marital issues, I knew it would affect him deeply and, in turn, work out for my favour.Nora smirked softly beside me, her head tilted as we watched Elena from afar, basking in the horror that was spread across
Elena’s POVI slumped into my couch, all color draining from my face as my mind kept thinking about what I just saw.Horace…with the maid?I knew there was something fishy with the maid, but I didn’t know it was this deep.I didn’t know she was sharing the bed with my husband.“Hah,” I laughed out, trying to grasp the ridiculousness of the situation.What the hell was going on?Why the hell would always be betraying me like this and at a time like this?He wasn’t even supposed to be back from work, so did he take a break just to come spend time with his lover who lived in the same house as me?I sneered, rising into my feet.The image was plastered across my mind and no matter how much I tried, I couldn’t shake it off.That was my husband who promised to never hurt me in the arms of another woman… right under my nose.I have contemplated barging in and confronting the both of them immediately but I just didn’t have the strength for it. I was too shocked and too weak to even take that
Elena’s POVI sent for Nora that afternoon, hoping to tighten the plot of what I had started. She arrived quickly, head bowed, and hands folded neatly in front of her, looking all respectful as she always did.The perfect picture of obedience.“Luna, you sent for me.”“Oh yes, I did. Please could you…” I began, sinking deeper into the couch, my shoulders sagging, and my breath running unevenly.Her eyes opened, which was good because it meant my message was passing across the exact way I wanted it to.“Please could you close the door and come closer?”She did. She shot the door before walking closer towards me.“I’m here, Luna.” I pressed my hand to my stomach and gave an exaggerated wince, enough to draw the attention I wanted.“You do not look well. Do I call the healer or a doctor from one of the hospitals?”Although she tried to sound as if she cared, or maybe it was just my personal conviction as I already had suspicions about her, but her tone gave something else off. Somethi
Elena’s POVI had learned long ago that sometimes danger doesn’t announce itself with fangs or claws unsheathed.Sometimes it smiled. Other times, it lay beside you on the bed, pretending to be your number one person while hurting you in one of the harshest ways. In some cases, it even showed its head as a dedicated worker, bowing before you at will, all while wishing and plotting to take over your position beside the Alpha.All these experiences put me in a position where I wasn’t as trusting of people as I used to be.Search was the case that morning when I first noticed my maid making tea for me.It was the same one who always made my tea. Even when Vivienne’s gift came on, she was in charge of it.But on that morning after I told her to make me tea, something pushed me towards the kitchen, and I stumbled up on her pouring something into my cup.I was about to call her out when I quickly held myself back. I didn’t want to come to that first, but I knew what I saw was clear as day,
Horace’s POV“Close the door,” I said to Logan I who came in behind me.He stood beside my table, his body tense as it always dead whenever he sends trouble.“Now let’s get to the order of the day.”“Yes, Alpha.”As I was about to start speaking, my mind went back to what I saw earlier. Vivienne’s assistant. The way he looked welcoming back into the White House wasn’t sitting well with him. The worst part was that I had no idea what was bothering me; I only knew that something kept tugging at my heart. Hence, why I wanted to take this step.“I’m not accusing anyone, let’s get that clear.”Logan nodded immediately. “Understood, Alpha. But even if you were, no one would dare question you.”Of course, he was right. Even if I was accusing anyone directly, it wasn’t like it was anyone who would question me.“Well, you’re not wrong on that.”“Exactly, Alpha. Besides, I can see that you’re not relaxed. Whatever is on your mind must be something serious. Serious enough to bother you.”I drew
Elena’s POV“Vivienne, is that you?”I asked as I walked into the kitchen, somewhat surprised to see her here.“Uhm, yes, Luna. Just preparing something for myself.”It seemed weird that she would leave her own apartment and come to prepare something for herself, so I had to ask further.“The stove in your apartment doesn’t work?”She let out a small laugh.“Actually, I just walked in here to spend time with you and Ethan and felt a bit hungry, so I decided to make something for myself.”“Oh.” That made sense.But what didn’t make sense was that what she was preparing smelled like broth soup. The same thing I told the maid to prepare for me. “Oh, that’s surprising. I actually told a maid to prepare the same thing for me.”“Oh, then this must be yours. When I came in here, I actually didn’t meet anyone and just decided to add a few more ingredients to it and keep it for myself. I thought someone must have forgotten it on the stove.”“Urghhh, that silly girl. I’m going to have to repr
