Alison’s POVAfter that confession last night, Ralph wasn’t happy with me. He went on ranting about why I shouldn’t be disobedient and how disappointed he was in me. I woke up earlier than usual the following day still thinking about Ralph’s rants the previous day. I watched his sleeping face and smiled. I need to know the man who brought me into this world and not even Ralph can stop me.I logged into my email to see if I had received a reply. I was disappointed to see that there were none from the organization. I tried logging onto their portal to see if I had their contact information right and that was when I noticed that I couldn’t access the website. Ralph! He’s done it again! He’s blocked me!I looked up from my phone and met his half-open eyes with a glare from me. He smiled,“Why are you doing this to me?” I cried. “Do you know how hard it is to live in a world where you don’t know who your father is?”“He’s evil; you don’t need to know him, " he said firmly but authoritative
Third Person POVCory got home feeling conflicted about his promotion. In the past, things like this would have been discussed with him before going through with it but today he was in his office when the email came through. When he tried reaching his father for an explanation, he received an automated response from him saying that he was busy. Since when has Ralph Vandyke been too busy to talk to him?Feelings of abandonment and betrayal rushed over him like a tidal wave over the sea. The fear of being abandoned gripped his heart and threatened to cripple him. He kicked his bedroom door aggressively and started to destroy the frames that hung on the corridor walls. Alison was taking his place, Melody was right!He began to rue the day he met Alison, “that witch! She’s destroying my life!” He screamed. As he punched the walls and crashed lamp stands and any other thing in his way.He couldn’t imagine having to share his father with Alison’s kids, he couldn’t imagine having to share th
Ralph POV“What made you arrive at such a hasty conclusion?”“No Mr. Vandyke, it wasn’t hasty. If anything, it took me too long to notice it.”I sighed and tried to walk away from his presence since there was nothing meaningful to discuss with him. He blocked my path and this time he sounded fierce,“Where is my daughter? I just want to see her! What could I possibly do to her? I just want to know who she is. What is wrong with you?” he started hurling his words at me.“I have nothing to do with this, if you want to see your daughter, try harder and stop blaming me,” I replied visibly sick of his nonsense.I know he was only worried about Alison’s whereabouts because he was afraid that I was going to use her as a weapon against his political career. He wanted to find her and silence her till the elections were over but it was my job to make sure he never finds her. Alison holds all the power now. She can end her father’s career by telling the world what he did to her mother but on the
Ralph’s POVI pursed my lips, wondering what could possibly go wrong if I told her the truth. I could have come clean to Anne like I did with Iris and Mike, but I can’t trust her anymore. She’s always been my rock and my support system, but ever since Melody came into the picture, nothing has been the same.“Melody has screwed with everyone, including you. Do you even know why she’s in Moonlight?” I tactfully switched the subject.“What do you mean? Isn’t she a rogue like all of us?”“Melody is a rogue by choice. She left Belle Moon on her own accord and I guess she also didn’t tell you, that she wants me because Lila stole her man and wants to get back at her.”Anne frowned, “Lila? You mean the Alpha king’s daughter?” I nodded, “Yes, the mate I rejected.”Anne raised her eyebrows and gasped, “So does that mean that Alpha Lucian is mated to Lila now?”I nodded, “The only reason your friend is losing her mind is because she wants to get back at Lila. She doesn’t love or care about me.
Ralph’s POV“Okay, Melody. I hope you know that this doesn’t affect just Cory but my campaign in the long run.” I reminded her.“Yes Alpha, and not being with me affects your campaign too. You need me and I need you…”“Melody I will take you to court and it won’t end there, I will take you to jail too for evading my privacy and planting devices in my son’s car. I will make sure you are fined till you are bankrupt. Stop playing with me.” I threatened her.But she didn’t sound fazed; she looked ready to lose everything if it meant taking me down with her.“I know I will lose if you drag me to court. I breached your privacy and did a whole lot of things that I shouldn’t have done and I deserve any punishment you deem fit. But I won’t go down without a fight. I know Alison is pregnant and you are doing everything within your power to hide it. That’s fine, but once you sue me, you will receive your second invite to face the council and by this time Alison’s bump would have grown, her scent
Ralph POVI left home and got into my driver’s car. I had two major tasks I wanted to accomplish today. One of them was to go to the company and deal with Cory. How dare he think he can call Alison and demand to see her? He’s gotten out of control, I think I’ve spoiled that child way too much but I don't think he's too old to be corrected.I have to teach him that stalking is wrong, he can’t drive by Alison’s place just to spy on her, that’s wrong. I know the cause of all these problems and I will fix it.When I arrived at the company, I immediately summoned all the department heads to the conference room. In haste, they all heeded my request and were seated in a few minutes. “Good morning, and thank you all for coming,” I paused and smirked. My son Cory Vandyke has been involved in some scandals lately, and I find it quite shocking since he’s always been a good boy. I’ve pondered his actions and have come to the conclusion that his actions may be due to idleness. He has too much fre
