I couldn't sleep that night.

The house was silent, but my mind felt like a train station during rush hour. Thoughts came from every direction, one after another, without giving me time to breathe. I tried to organize my problems by order of importance, but whenever I found a possible solution to one of them, another appeared to remind me that I was still far from regaining control of my life.

The missing money in my account wouldn't leave my mind.

I had checked my bank statement so many times

  • Candy Wolf: Claimed by the New Alpha   Chapter 51 - Never Mess with a Woman

    That voice!I would recognize that tone anywhere.It was Lucy.My friend had come to save me.For a moment, I felt my legs grow even weaker.I wanted to open the bathroom door and run into her arms, but fear still kept me frozen in place.On the other side, Derick burst out laughing."Well, well! Who do we have here? An old lady trying to play the hero?""Drop that axe now or I'll shoot you. I won't warn you again," Lucy replied.The firmness in her voice surprised me.I had never heard Lucy speak like that before."Are you threatening me?" Derick asked mockingly. "What do you think you're going to do with that gun, you old woman?""I've already given you my order."He laughed again."I doubt you have the guts. I'm still holding the axe. So? What are you going to do?"I held my breath.I knew Lucy was armed, but I had no idea how that situation would end."Last chance," she warned."You're goin

    I tried to close the door immediately, but Derick was faster.He wedged his foot between the door and the frame, preventing me from shutting it."I told you to get out!" I screamed."You're not getting rid of me that easily."Before I could react, he shoved the door so hard that it slammed against the wall.The impact made me lose my balance.I fell backward onto the floor, feeling a sharp pain shoot through my hip.Derick stepped inside and closed the door behind him."What did you do to my brother, you bitch?" he shouted, approaching me. "You're going to pay for this!"I tried to crawl away from him."Help! I didn't do anything, Derick! Let me go!"He grabbed my arm and yanked me to my feet."Don't lie to me! George is in prison because of you!""He's in prison because of what he did! None of this is my fault!"Derick tightened his grip on my arm.The pain made me grit my teeth, but when he leaned forward t

  • Candy Wolf: Claimed by the New Alpha   Chapter 49 - A Family of Evil

    James kept staring at me as if he expected me to take back what I had just said. "George is in prison?" he repeated, still trying to understand. "That doesn't make any sense. What happened?" I crossed my arms. "He was taken to prison after being discharged from the hospital. There was a break-in, an assault, and several other things that are now in the police's hands." "A break-in?" "George broke into Lucy's house armed with an axe. He injured my friend and tried to hurt me too. If Anderson hadn't shown up, I don't even know what would have happened." James ran a hand over his face. "My God..." He looked around as if he needed somewhere to sit down. "I thought he'd disappeared because of the debts." "Debts?" "Yes. George had been avoiding talking to me for weeks. I tried to contact him, but he wouldn't answer. Then he simply stopped showing up at the gym." I felt a knot form in my stomach. "What kind of debt?" Jam

  • Candy Wolf: Claimed by the New Alpha   Chapter 48 - Goodbye, Chloe

    I could still feel the tension from our previous argument lingering in my body, but I didn't want my first visit to the gym as its future co-owner to be defined by the fear of confronting Chloe.That morning, I had come specifically to get a better understanding of how the place operated and discuss the next steps of the ownership transfer with James.Lucy had insisted on coming with me, saying I didn't have to face anything alone anymore.I knew she was right, although I had no intention of turning every problem into a battle.Chloe was standing near the lockers, talking to two female members, when she noticed me watching her.She held my gaze for a few seconds and flashed a mocking smile, as if she still had some power over me.Lucy stood beside me.James was talking to an employee near the reception desk, but he was following our movements through the reflection in the mirror.I could have asked Chloe to speak privately.I could have told her to collect her things and leave the gym

  • Candy Wolf: Claimed by the New Alpha   Chapter 47 - The Gym Is Mine Now

    I stared at the lawyer's message. A week ago, I had no money left after George disappeared with our savings. Today, I was the owner of half of that gym. Lucy took my phone to read the message, and a huge smile spread across her face, as if the news belonged to her too. "You did it! Candy, do you have any idea what this means?" "It means I'll finally be able to walk into that place without feeling like George is still in control of me." "It means much more than that." Lucy handed my phone back and took my hands. "You have three businesses now: Candy Cake, Candy Fit, and half of a gym. Three businesses!" I smiled, feeling a new energy spreading through my body. "I'm thinking about putting my name on the gym too." Lucy stared at me for a few seconds. "Do you really want to put Candy in everything?" "Why not? Candy Cake, Candy Fit, and Candy Gym." She burst out laughing. "That sounds like the name of an empire built by a w

  • Candy Wolf: Claimed by the New Alpha   Chapter 46 - Candy Fit Is Born

    Lucy raised her eyebrows when she heard my words. "That sounds important. Are you thinking about expanding the kitchen, hiring more employees, or buying an entire factory?" "For now, I just want you to have coffee with me and listen to my idea before deciding I've lost my mind." "No promises." She pulled out a chair and sat across from me, still wearing that suspicious smile. I placed two cups on the table and poured the coffee. After so many days rushing between orders, ingredients, and deliveries, we had finally managed to set aside a few minutes to talk without a to-do list waiting for us. Candy Cake was growing. Orders kept coming in, customers were returning, and sales were breaking records I wouldn't even have dared to imagine a few months earlier. The shop had survived my accident, my absence, and everything George had done to turn my life into a living hell. I was proud of what we'd rebuilt, but I felt I didn't want to stop there. "Our business is doing incredibly
