[Fergus Noah's POV]When I emerged from the woods, the first thing I did was start walking furiously towards the direction of where I had parked my car.Because of what I have just seen, I already have a bad feeling about today! As soon as I arrived at the location where the car was parked, I hopped inside. "Let's go!" After I gave my driver the instructions, he immediately left. I did a slow, gentle stretch to relax my back, and I undid the button on the top of my shirt. What I went through earlier made me sick to my stomach, and I wanted to even throw up.The fact that the Inspector was so dim that he couldn't figure out those two were genuinely lying, demonstrates how stupid he was. In contrast to what the guy claimed, they both had body language that indicates something else."What's up, Boss? Are you all right?" I was deep in meditation when I was startled awake by the sound of Owen, my driver, speaking to me from the front seat behind the driving wheel..."Yeah, everything is f
[Freya's]As I slowly forced my eyelids to open, I could feel a numbness spreading throughout my body. My eyelids were puffy, and when I opened them, it felt like there was an extra weight on them."Where am I?" I whispered gently as I attempted to lift my leg, but it was lifeless and did not move even with my assistance. When I looked up, I noticed that a drip was already being supplied to my right hand, and then I looked away.After observing the state of the room and the presence of the drip, I realized that I am at a medical facility. The question is, how in the world did I get here? I have no idea. I attempted to lift my arms, and as I did so, they moved quickly. I felt myself gradually becoming more at ease.The last thing I could remember was getting dizzy after reading a text message on my phone, and I believe it was because of the content of the message. What happened after the dizziness is beyond my ability to recall at this point.When I was still trying to piece together h
[Fergus Noah's]"I will not be attending that party!" I replied as I stood in front of my father, who was sitting on the couch in the living room. "Had I realized that this was the reason you asked me to come down here, I would not have come!""Fergus, you need to stop acting like a child! I phoned you earlier and informed you about the party, and you mentioned that you are going to be heading back home shortly. You are expected to be there at Isla's party given that the two of you are planning to get engaged soon."I did remember him telling me earlier, but I guess I was distracted when I pledged to go to the party. "It makes no difference to me at all! And I still haven't agreed to go through with the engagement!" I became so angry that I yelled at him."I'm sorry, Fergus, but I've already told you this: to become the Alpha with the most power, you need Isla Douglas. She is the only person who would leave you with no one else to compete with!" My dad uttered calmly."I never had to
Right after Isla had departed, her mother went and got the microphone from the person who was anchoring the party, so she could talk to the guests."To begin, I would want to extend my sincerest apologies for the rude behaviour that my daughter displayed in front of you all just now. She has just arrived home from school and seems to be taken aback by everything, which is appropriate given that it is a surprise from me. I guess you all parents can understand what I'm saying. I appreciate everyone, and I hope you have a good time at the party."After making her remark, she hastily excused herself from the party before handing the microphone back to the anchor. As soon as she left the room, the atmosphere was filled with murmuring. The vast majority of the attendees expressed their displeasure with Isla's poor demeanour even though they were in public.While others were pointing the blame at her parents, saying, they had raised her to be a pampered child who has lost all respect for oth
"Dad," Isla said and dashed up to her father in an instant to hug him. She was in his embrace when tears suddenly began streaming down her cheeks in copious amounts."Don't worry love, your papa is here now!" A soothing stroke to the back of her head from Mr Douglas calms down his child.Seeing how everyone's eyes were penetrating straight into my body, I couldn't help but resist the urge to try to meet the stare of any of them. Considering that I have been highly harsh towards Isla from the very beginning, I have no idea how much of what I said that they heard."Take responsibility for your statements and restate what you just said to my daughter!" As he carefully pulled Isla away from his embrace, Mr Douglas gave off the impression that he was beyond himself with rage. I refrained from speaking and simply turned my head away. "Since you've admitted on your own that my daughter isn't your type, I'm afraid we'll have to call off this engagement!"The unexpected nature of his remark c
[Freya's]"Boss, please give me a little time. I promise to deliver the girl to you as soon as possible.""I can't believe you're making me wait, woman! Are you aware that the interest on your loan is also increasing daily?""I know, boss, and that's why I'm trying to acquire some cash and send them to you before the beginning of next month." "Okay... When can we expect to see the girl's power in its full manifestation?""My guess is when she's twenty years old.""You guess?!""N-no! I'm certain boss! Once she reaches the age of twenty, the world will finally get to know the real her!""And it's just some months to this time, right?""Yes, boss, in exactly half a year!""Good... I expect her to be by my side soon, so, I will give you three months to finally hand her over to me if that is good with you.""That's cool, Boss, but there's something I need to talk to you about... She----""Nana, I'm going to work." Suddenly, I get up and start walking out of the room to notify my grandmot
"Should I walk up to where he is and confront him?" The words came out of Michelle's mouth all of a sudden as she continued to angrily stare at the man."Huh? Don't even think of doing such!" I immediately stop her from walking over to the man by dragging her back. "What if it's simply a coincidence, and he wasn't even paying attention to me the whole time, just like you think he was? Please don't allow the new boss to get angry with us if you can't help it. That gentleman is still one of our customers.""Hmm, but I'm so sure he has been looking at you intently all this time. I decided to keep an eye on him for a time to make sure I was right, and it turned out that I was." Assuredly, Michelle stated her opinion."Just forget about it, Michelle; you are making too much out of nothing." My reaction was accompanied by a fleeting glance in the direction of the man, but he turned his head away from me as soon as he saw it. "As you can see, he has stopped staring at me inappropriately. Let
At about six O'Clock in the morning, Fergus woke up feeling unrest, as he was lost in his thoughts. 'I think visiting doctor Mark is what I should do today without any further hesitation!' Fergus thought to himself. He immediately stood up and heads straight to the bathroom. After some minutes, Fergus got out of the bathroom and got prepared for his trip to meet with doctor Mark. When it was 8 O'clock later that morning, he arrived at the hospital's receptionist area. "Good morning sir," The receptionist greeted him with a warm smile. "Good morning ma'am, please I'm here to meet with doctor Mark," he responded to her greeting and told her who he came to see. "Do you have an appointment with him sir?" She asked politely. "Yes, I do... Please do check!" He answered calmly. "Okay, I will do that sir... Please give me a minute," She replied, as she quickly checked her book to see if there is an appointment. "Sir, your appointment is for 9 am, but it seems the doctor is free for no
