LOGINAVA:Mark peered at me in shock; even Mom was stunned by my attitude and shrieking.“Ava, what has gotten into you? Are you trying to make fun of Mark? There is no smell. What are you talking about?” Mom asked aloud as she glared at me.“Mom, Mark reeks of Summer’s smell,” I pointed out, anger flooding through my veins as Mark sniffed his own shirt to identify the irritating smell I was talking about.However, when he heard me mention Summer’s name, his expression softened as he smiled handsomely, making my heart race, and he admitted, “Summer was with me this morning. She came to visit last night and the rainfall was too much, so I advised her to stay back. That’s why I am bathed in her smell—I didn’t want to bathe or wash it off.”Mom’s jaw dropped, including mine. I could not imagine how insane Mark was to carry a woman’s scent on him. Also, to skip bathing so that he didn’t wash off Summer’s smell.Mom looked at Mark differently as she smiled and asked him, “Do you love Summer tha
AVA:When I woke up in my room, I felt a sharp pain in my stomach and gasped, “Ah!” My belly tightened, making me perspire. In the meantime, I had been sensitive to some smells, some foods, and I knew that these were all the symptoms of the little pup.Damn it. Why can’t I have a quiet abortion? I murmured; all the abortion medicine had been banned and there was no way I could get rid of the baby.Every child’s life matters to my dad—unless the mother’s health was in danger, then he could approve the termination of the pregnancy.My fist clenched as I wanted to punch the little pup away from my belly, but that would be too extreme.Sighing, I moved to the bathroom to soak myself in a large bathtub of warm water. The weather was cool, and I didn’t want to go to the university. Because I had spent so much time sleeping the previous day in the classroom, the majority of the students were beginning to look at me differently.I had to lay low and keep to myself for now, before the news o
SUMMER:The next morning, I woke up in bed and found myself lying close to Mark. He lay shirtless on the bed, and my hand rested around his waist as I snuggled beside him.Smiling, I shifted on the bed and stared at his attractive features for a while. His chest rose and fell heavily.Checking the wall clock, I saw that it was after 6 a.m. So I carefully got out of bed to avoid waking Mark. Then I made my way into the bathroom to bathe.I couldn’t believe that I was back here and that I had spent a night with Mark. Well, knowing that I had to focus on my studies, I quickly stripped off the dress and got into the shower.After bathing, I stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around my chest.When I walked back into the room, Mark was not there—the bed was empty—but he had arranged it to look neat.I moved into the closet to find a dress to wear. My mind bugged me to purchase some new dresses and bring them over to Mark’s place, as it was mostly my old clothes that were stuck in
BRYAN:I could not believe my eyes that Summer was here with Mark. No wonder he wasn’t even planning to apologize to my sister or return to the game to join us for the basketball training ahead of the tournament game we have this coming Saturday.I watched Summer boldly walk up to meet Mark, call him babe, embrace him, and kiss him on his left cheek in my presence.My fist clenched at the sight of them. But I didn’t say anything other than watch her figure hurry upstairs.“What brings you here, Alpha Bryan?” Mark asked, finally shifting his face back to me. His lips curled into a smirk to show me that he had claimed Summer—the girl that I wanted—and there was nothing I could do. I was the Alpha. I had to stand there and watch him do whatever he liked. I could have had the privilege to sue Mark, but I confirmed his report that Wren already sent Summer away. So technically, Olivia was a free bird, and now she has reunited with her family.Clearing my throat to put my anger away, I fixed
SUMMER:I smiled at the thought of cooking for myself, Mark, and our pups. The thought of it made my heart flutter as heat rose up my neck."What are you thinking about, Summer? I can smell your arousal from the kitchen," Mark asked, once he was done washing the plates and cleaning the sink.I smiled, watching him walk up to meet me. His tall, imposing features making my heart flutter, and I shied away."I am just thinking about our future. You, me, and our pups," I replied, standing up as I turned my back on him. I couldn't meet his gaze.Mark drew close to me and wrapped his arms around my waist. His voice dropped dangerously low as he whispered, "You will bear our pups. Don't worry. That time will come soon."My face flamed red, but I fled away from Mark, as I could feel his arousal pressed against my back. His voice was husky, with a touch of the wine, which made him seductive and alluring.I went to the living room couch to plop down, my gaze on the television as I switched it on
SUMMER:When I awoke, I found myself lying on the bed, and I recalled that I had slept on the living couch downstairs before.A warm smile crept up my lips as I knew that Mark had brought me back to the room."Oh no!" I gasped when my eyes landed on the wall clock in the room, and I saw that it was 9 pm."I have overslept," I muttered, feeling my stomach grumble loudly in hunger.I quickly darted out of the room and rushed downstairs in search of Mark. As my mind raced to Mr. Raymond. How could I leave him in the rain and forget that this was just his first day of working for me? I assumed that he would be pissed off by my silly action of coming to see my boyfriend. And I feared he might even report me to my father for delaying him.When I reached the bottom of the stairs, I glanced around the living room in hope of seeing Mark, but he was not there. The living room was empty, but I heard the sounds of utensils in the kitchen, and the delicious aroma of noodles and fried eggs wafted t
