Chapter 002

Abigail groaned in her sleep. It was Monday morning,she had to go to work otherwise her boss would throw tantrums at her again. She scrolled through the texts on her phone. Ethan had still not replied to her message. Maybe he was busy. 

Fortunately,she wasn't late. “Abigail! You're finally here. Have you heard the news?” Mia,her colleague came running towards her. 

“What news?” Abigail asked, walking towards her desk. Mia jumped in excitement,“The company is no longer under alpha makael.” 

“Who bought it?” Abigail asked, uninterested.

“Guess.” 

“His son?” Abigail asked. Alpha makael and his son hated each other to the bone. It wouldn't be a surprise if he bought his father's bankrupt company.

“No,not him. Alpha Ethan bought it.” 

“A—alpha Ethan?” Abigail stammered. Her father-in-law turned lover actually bought the company she worked in?!

Why?!

“Yes,he bought the company yesterday.” Mia informed. 

If what Mia said was actually true,then that would mean she was now Ethan's new personal assistant. She sank in her seat, wondering why Ethan would buy the company all of a sudden. It was literally bankrupt and sank in debts. 

Could it be possible he bought it because of her? Her cheeks reddened at the thought.

“Mia,the new CEO needs you. Now.” The manager walked in. Abigail quickly stood up, straightened her dress and left. 

She met Ethan seated behind the desk when she arrived. The interior decor of the office had been changed and the air smelt fresh.

“My bride.” He smirked, sending shivers down her spine. “What are you doing here?” Abigail asked, almost scared.

“I bought this place.” He smiled, genuinely. “Yeah,but why'd you buy it?” Abigail took a few steps forward.

“Well,you complained about your boss’ tantrums when we last spoke.” He gently raised a brow. It seemed Abigail wasn't happy about his new possession.

“That's why you bought it?” She asked, dumbfounded. “ This must have cost a lot.” She bowed her head. 

“Are you seriously worried about the cost? It's nothing actually.” Ethan said,his fingers tapping lightly on the desk.

“Let's just get to work.” Abigail said, brushing it off her mind. “Work? I have other plans. Come.” He smirked. Abigail knew that smirk meant something suspicious.

She slowly walked over to his side.

He tapped his lap with both hands,“Sit.” 

Abigail took a step back. “We can't possibly do that here…” 

“Says who? I'm the boss her,missy. Sit down.” His voice was deep, smooth and sexy. Reluctantly, Abigail sat on his strong laps.

“Good girl.” He whispered into her ear, making her shiver.

He moved closer. “Now,I want you to free your mind. Imagine all the bad things we could do here together. Your face on this table as I fill you up from behind.” 

“Umm…” Abigail gasped,her skin reacting to his breath spraying on the skin on her neck. She closed her eyes, imagining all the things this strong alpha had said.

“Hmmm. You're right,we should get to work. This company is in a lot of debt.” Ethan laughed. 

“Huh!” 

She spanked his laps, seeing it was all a trap.

“Ouch,I'll spank your ass like that,my little bride.” He smirked against her skin.

“Whatever!” Abigail stood from her seat and walked over to her small desk opposite his.

She spent all day focused on her work and hardly spared Ethan a look. But,this strong alpha's gaze was entirely on his little bride.

Immediately it was closing hours, Abigail stood up to leave. “Leaving already?” Ethan asked. “Yes. It's closing time already.” Abigail pouted.

“Hmmm, make dinner. I'll come over tonight.” He said.

“Huh?” Abigail was confused.

“I can finally make you make those…unholy sounds.” He smirked.

“Hmph!” Abigail walked away with red cheeks. How dare he!

Abigail spent over an hour in the kitchen, making dinner. Ethan promised to drop by after work. Her cheeks still blushed red whenever she thought of how he flirted with her.

Abigail was satisfied with herself seeing how good the candle light themed dinner turned out. All that was left was Ethan’s presence.

Ting 

The doorbell rang. 

“I'm coming.” Alicia quickly dropped the napkin she was holding and ran to the door, putting on a big smile.

Her smile froze seeing who was at the door. It wasn't Ethan,it was his son.

“Having dinner,huh?” He seemed drunk.

“What are you doing here Liam? I told you before,we're done.” Abigail frowned.

Liam pushed his way into the house. Abigail didn't force him out. The breakup must've been hard on him.

“Candles.” He laughed. “Why are you laughing?” Abigail asked. “Do you really think my father loves you?” He asked.

“You're just a useless hybrid and his next prey!”

Abigail frowned. “That's enough. Get out!” She pointed towards the door. But the next second,her neck was pinned against the wall. 

She struggled to breath but he didn't even flinch. “The next time you raise your voice,I'll slit your throat with a bloody knife.” He whispered in her ear.

“Leave me alone!” Abigail managed to say. She tried to push him away,but he was too strong. “If you keep talking,I'll fuck you right now.” He said.

Abigail could see his eyes change colour and his wolf struggled to break free.

Seeing how quiet she became,he laughed. Liam loosened his grip, making her fall. He walked towards the table where Abigail had kept dinner.

She made all of Ethan's favourites. “You will never be happy together.” Liam flipped the table over, ruining everything Abigail had carefully planned.

“Stop! Why are you doing this?” Abigail sobbed. “ You're mine!” Liam took slow, staggered steps towards her.

 He forcefully grabbed her arm and sucked on her neck. Abigail was scared, thinking Liam was trying to claim her forcefully.

“Get your hands off her!” Ethan pushed Liam away. “Are you okay?” He asked her but she was too hurt to reply.

“What are you doing here?” Ethan walked towards Liam. “She's my—”

Spank

Ethan landed a slap on Liam's cheek. “How dare you abuse my woman!” Ethan's anger was at its peak.

“Alex.” He called his assistant. “Yes sir,”Alex walked in. “Take him away, give him 20 lashes and get this place repaired with his salary.”

Alex nodded, ordering the guards to take Liam away.

Abigail looked at the broken table and the ruined dinner. Hot tears fell down her face.

Ethan frowned,he hated seeing her so miserable. “Are you okay?” He knelt before her. He tried to touch her hand but she shook his hands off.

“I'm sorry,it won't happen again.” Ethan apologized. Abigail's stomach grumbled out loud, adding to her embarrassment.

“I'll order takeout.” Ethan said, helping her up. That night,they both fell asleep in each other's arms on Abigail's bed.

In the opposite building,a figure zoomed in and took various shots. “Boss,I have big news.”
