Chapter 45:"How is she doing?" Darius asked Lucius as he descended the stairs."I'm not sure. Do you believe she will be alright? I feel...""You fret a lot about yourself, you should, in my opinion, relax. It's not as horrible as you imagine, and Layla is a strong lady; she will get through this,” Darius said. "Do you think so?" Lucius asked with worry on his face."I know so, she will be okay. I trust her to fight back.” Darius assured him, “It's just a tiny setback,” he reassured his brother again while guiding him to a seat by his hands."But when will it happen? I need her to myself. I need to hold her in my arms and feel her warmth. I need all of her,” Lucius said.“Do you know that your current style of thinking is improper? We need her to recuperate, and worrying about this now might delay her recovery. She currently needs the love, care, and attention," Darius recommended."Since you have other options, Darius, it is easier for you to say this. Because you have someone else
Chapter 46:"What took you so long?" Jake asked Alex as he entered, swiftly picking up the pack that was with him.He eagerly opened the package of food and began chewing as much as he could, he only stopped and looked up when Alex said something."Jake, I wouldn't be returning here after tonight; my life and the lives of my family are in grave danger, the police are looking for you everywhere, and they're in my house right now. I can't give up my liberty for you. I can’t put my life at risk for you," he remarked in fear."I know you have been a good friend to me, you have stood by me in my difficult times, and this is one of the challenges one faces in life, but please do that to the end," he said."What should I do to the end?” Alex asked with a strong face, “We both understand that there is no point hiding because sooner or later you will be caught and if I am caught with you, I will be arrested along with you. This isn’t one of the challenges you face in life, you brought this on
Chapter 47:Layla was led to her seat by Lucius, who then took a seat next to her while waiting for Darius to join them.Layla scanned the area, she couldn't take her eyes off the restaurant's interior, compared to the one she and Darius visited, this was more stunning.They were approached by a middle-aged man wearing a sharply pressed suit."Good evening," he handed them the menu "This is the menu. My name is Philip, and you may contact me if you need anything,” he added with a smile."You know what, I want you to treat me to your best lunch as a surprise. I want this lady right here to be impressed,” Lucius handed the menu back to him and smiled "I hope you can do that for me?” he asked still smiling.Layla slightly blushed.“Sure, don't worry about that sir, we will provide excellent service that will astound you,” Philip replied with a smile, bowed his head slightly, and left."I hope you enjoy this place?" Lucius asked when he noticed how she was scanning through the area."Yes,
Chapter 48:"Oh what a nice interior you got here," Jake commented as he walked into the flat Vanessa's driver brought him to, he scanned the area and nodded slightly.Vanessa was pissed when she saw him approach her. She stood from where she was sitting and slapped him."What was that used for?" He queried as he placed his hand on his cheek simultaneously."How could you get so stupid? What were you thinking? How could you even consider imposing yourself on a woman? How could you stand so low to this and now I am left with no choice but to clean up your mess," she angrily said raising her hand in anger.“We had a history,” he said trying to touch her, "and it is not as they have painted it. I was just trying to recoup my investment, I think you should understand.""Can you listen to yourself, how could you think of doing this to me? How could you?" She yelled at him."That's the issue; it's always been about you and your desires. I was never in the picture..."“What do you mean? Off
Chapter 49:Vanessa didn't even attempt to resist the intense, forceful kiss. She gave him access to her mouth and lost herself in his flavor. The way he probed her mouth with his tongue; His teeth biting into her lips; Every cell in her body realized that this was a substitute for sex rather than a kiss. Her nipples were as hard as stones, and her skin was flushed. It required a lot of willpower for her to resist straddling his thigh and brazenly rubbing against him to ease the pain between her thighs, which was excruciating.Jake adjusted his posture as though he understood what she needed, and the hand that had been at her waist now crept up beneath her shirt and caressed the exposed skin on the small of her back. He ended the kiss at the same time. He lifted her shirt over her head by grabbing the hem. As he did so, his hands moved over her stomach. His mouth moved down until he met her breasts.She groaned softly as his hands climbed higher, touching her bra-covered breasts.J
Chapter 50:"Fuck! This is widely available online. How the heck were they able to do this? Any blogger who has this news on their channel will be sued by me!” Lucius threw his phone on the table."This is horrible,” he hissed."You need to calm yourself down..." Darius said from his corner.“The only thing I ever heard from you was calm down. You said the same thing when Carlos joined the board of directors, and today he is, in fact, our company's largest shareholder after us. You still want me to calm down. What has gotten into you, why aren’t you bothered at all?" Lucius screamed."Because I know that wouldn't solve any of the issues we now have, being tense wouldn't either, at this time we need to think,” Darius said.“How did he persuade them to give him their portion of the company? How did he manage to buy them? I told you he was cruel and dangerous. Is there no way to legally obtain the shares from him?" Lucius questioned."We can, but as you and I both know, we have been inve
Chapter 51:With grim expressions on their faces, Lucius and Darius entered the chamber. An emergency meeting had been called by their pack and they wondered what it was about. But they couldn't show this on their faces.They weren't supposed to act weak because they were in their pack, they were after all the Alphas. Any sign of weakness on their part could allow others access to them, thus putting an end to their life.Everyone rose as they stepped in, and nobody dared sit down until Lucius and Darius had taken their seats.A cigar was in Lucius' hands. He wasn't paying attention to anyone, they were supposed to be ruthless to command the respect they deserved. "Who called for this meeting?" Darius growled as he slowly looked at everyone's faces waiting for someone to talk. "We collectively did summon for this meeting,” one of the men replied."All right, you requested the meeting, and now that we're here, can you tell us why you wanted us here?" Darius checked his wristwatch befo
Chapter 52:Leo arrived at the door. He stood up and knocked on her door after mounting the stairs while panting, his face looked pale."Who is there? I am coming,” Fey replied from within.When she opened the door, she was met by a tall and attractive man. She couldn't but look at him while repeatedly blinking her eyes.She didn't answer when Leo greeted her, as she was still frozen by the way he looked."Good day, Miss. Is it Fey?" he questioned again.“Oh, what were you saying?” she asked after Leo snapped his fingers and she regained consciousness but she was still staring at him.“Fey. Is there any Fey living here,” Leo gave a strange look.“Oh sorry, my bad, I now remember, I think she used to live the next door,” she said.Leo shifted back a little to be sure he was standing in front of the correct room number."But I was told she lives here," he said after he confirmed he was at the right door.“Fey lives here,” Fey again, “oh my goodness,” she tapped him a little “I remember
