Zack's POVI had just sent Rosa away from my study. The little witch had tried to seduce me. Had I not been quick to stop her, it would have been a problem. What if Freda had walked in here and saw us in that compromising position with her. When Freda had told me that they would be staying in the mansion with us, I had felt a little skeptical about everything. I had gotten nothing but bad vibes from them since we went to Freda's home at their mansion. He stepmother looked malicious and kept giving her the stink eye. She was also so cold and unreceptive when she saw Freda. Almost as if she was not happy that she is alive and well. She blamed her for everything that had happened to their family and still does. More to it, she had especially being insistent that Freda takes up the alpha position and was very enraged as well disappointed when Freda turned their suggestion down. I immediately did not like her. As if she was not so negative towards Freda, she had extended an olive b
Zack's pov (Finale)"Where is Freda? " I said, cutting straight to the chase. "First I need the money, sir. " he said. I took out my phone. "Call out your account number. " I said. He called it out, I wired the money to him. "Now, tell me. " I said. "Remember that closed end road that used be a cave? " he asked. I racked my brain. It came to me suddenly. I and Kaine used to play there when we were kids before my father closed the cave. "Yes. " I said. "Kaine opened it up when he was alpha. Not many people knew about it. That has been Kaine's hideout and that is where he is holding Freda. " he said. I looked at Aiden, he looked right back at me. "I think I know where he is talking about. " he said."I think I do too. How come we never searched there? " I said. "Beats me. " Aiden replied. He grabbed the man by his shirt, a little roughly. "If we find out that you lied to us, trust me, Kaine will be the least of your worries. " he snarled. The poor man looked terr
Chapter 1.Freda's POV."Get me, Freda Anderson now," I heard the chief physician yell from his office. I was already at his office door and was about to knock. I knew I was in trouble due to the incident that happened earlier, so I had to bring myself to his office before he would tell Vivian to do so.A patient nearly lost her life due to a lack of the medication my team was supposed to administer to her.I had earlier smelled there would be a big problem because of it and as usual, I would be blamed. I'm always to be blamed whenever anything goes wrong with my team even though I'm not the head of my team, I was the least important person among them.I stretched forth my hand to knock on the door but on a second thought, I retreated my hand and took a deep breath.I knew he would yell and say hurtful things as usual and after that, I would cry in the restroom whenever he was done yelling at me.I knew that today won't be any different from other days but I still put up a smile, read
CHAPTER 2FREDA'S POVI WONDER which was heavier the rain or my heart, I could feel both storming heavily as I walked out of the changing room dragging my awkwardly light legs as I went.Today had been one of those days I wouldn't term as being Splendid it was the exact oppositeIt Started right and then switched right in the middle to become one of the worst days of my life, and if there was anything I wanted at that moment it was certainly to forget about how everything had gone down so quickly including the fact that I had been suspended.I walked down the hallway that had faulty lights blinking on and off due to the stormy weather.Surprisingly enough it wasn't as busy as I had expected it to be with just a few people in the waiting room, shivering from the breezing wind while an intern walked in holding warm towels to pass around.One thing was certain and that was the fact that I was going to miss this place for the meantime I was away working on the ground floor as an assistant
CHAPTER 3FREDA'S POV"STAY with me." My voice came out of my larynx trembling. It was obvious I was risking everything bringing this man home as he was still bleeding profusely from the bullet holes but the good thing about everything was that he was conscious for that moment.With one hand over my shoulder, we wobbled into my apartment, he fell to the ground right at the door, his eyes fluttering again about to lose consciousness.I swiped my hands across his face, landing a stinging slap that brought him back to life."Don't die on me," I said, picking him up as we staggered into my kitchen. I placed him right on the table before rushing to get my first aid kit.The man was still groaning when I reached his side."You will be fine," I assured him looking into his dark, dying eyes.His body was getting cold every minute, it had to be the cold from the rain or the fact that he was dying."Fuck." I muttered to myself realizing I had no painkillers to help ease his pain while I got th
CHAPTER 4FREDA'S POVI STARED briskly at this stranger I had no idea about, and if I was being totally sincere he looked so handsome even in his distress.He studied me with curious eyes, it got me wondering why he was doing so as I was filled with a kind of unease with the way he stares burning right Into my soul."Who the hell are you?" He asked again.It was funny he was doing the exact thing I was supposed to be doing, how ironic it was to ask the owner of the house for her identity."I think the question should be who are you rather," I said to the man, not tearing away my gaze from his face.He groaned as he struggled to get up. "Look I don't know who you are or what you've done to me all I want to do is get out of this fucking place." "This fucking place." I looked around and chuckled.This was certainly one ungrateful son of a bitch and I was done smiling with him."Who the hell are you to speak to me in such a manner?" I sounded pissed."After saving your life you didn't de
CHAPTER 5FREDA’S POVI was hurt that Darren ended things with me just because I refused to send this stranger out of my house in his state. But come to think of it, how could Darren be this heartless?Courld it be that he had been looking for reasons to call of the engagement but didn't find any and decided to use this issue as a cover up?Something I fishy and I was sure about it, there was no way he would have called off the marriage just because I wanted to help someone who was in need?"I'm sorry." A voice drifted into my ears."Huh!"I froze for about a second before turning around sharply and to my shock, I saw him standing at the door with a pained expression on his face. “Wait, how long have you been standing there?” I squinted my brows staring intensely at him..“I’m sorry, I know I’m not supposed to eavesdrop but I just couldn’t help it,” He sighed looking as though a child who had been caught doing something bad.What the hell was he saying?He couldn’t help but not give
CHAPTER 6Freda’s POV. "Hummm."I muttered as I woke up with a banging headache, the first thing that came to my mind was ‘Liam’. His well-being and welfare was my utmost priority. I stood and picked a coat from my closet to cover my night dress. I went straight to Liam’s room and stretched my hand to knock on the door when the door opened suddenly, and I was cleared my throat nervously. “I just wanted to check on you,” I said nervously, but hoped silently that he didn’t notice the nervousness in my voice. “Well, I’m okay,” Liam smiled and I shook my head, brushing him lightly before entering his room.“Lie down,” I frowned pointing at the bed."Why?" Liam squinted his brows as he stared at me with a confused expression. “Are you okay?” He frowned as he moved towards me slowly.“What sort of question is this?” I stated with the expression on my face changing.At that moment, all the nervousness I had been feeling disappeared into thin air. “I’m fine,” I continued."I see."
