Gaston " Did any of you see her?" I roared, making them tremble as I struggled to contain the rage that was threatening to erupt. "No, I don't." one of them said with a trembling tone. I gripped his shirt and ripped his head off his neck, throwing his lifeless body on the floor and everyone gasped in horror. " Did any of you see her!!" I thunder, my voice echoing through the air, sending a chill down their spine as I used my Alpha tone with anger, gazing at them with my eyes blazing with an intensity that matched the fire within my soul. My instinct tells me that one of them knew something about it but they all looked at me with fear, not ready to speak. " Very well then, since you have all refused to speak you left me with no other choice than to do this." I thunder and before they can register what I have just said, I begin ripping their heads off one using my wolf speed. " I saw her." a faint voice said, jerking me back to my senses. I navigated my gaze at him as I threw the
ChadI can't believe after threatening Tara and collecting all her property from her including her cell phone, she could still look into my eyes and tell me that she would rather die than come back to me. Her words pierced my heart like a dagger, the way she looked at me with hatred shattered my heart into a thousand pieces. I know this was what I've always wanted, for her to leave me so I could be with Sophie, the woman I truly love but I don't understand why my heart ached in pain when I saw tears in her eyes. I wanted to hold her and beg her not to leave but my ego won't let me.I felt a pang in my chest with my heart beating uncontrollably when I watched her exit the mansion without looking back and I felt my wolf sank in pain. Where did she think she could go to? She doesn't have anyone apart from me, her family rejected her because of me so, How did she think she could survive without me?"Well, she would still come back to me. Is just a matter of days for her to run back to
ChadMark gazed at me for a while before he gently placed his wine glass on the table. "Are you sure about that? I mean, why will she suddenly make you the sole signatory to all her properties?" Mark asked, curiously. "Why else would she do that if not to cover up the atrocity she had committed? I mean, I fucking caught her in the hotel with another man." I groan as I pour myself a drink. He gazed at me suspiciously, "I don't know why I find it difficult to believe you because the Tara that I knew would never do such a thing." he voiced out. I felt betrayed by his words. Isn't he supposed to stand by me as a friend? but instead, he chooses to take sides with that fucking bitch. This is the reason why I can't let him know about my plans. "So, what are you insinuating?" I asked, annoyingly. "Emm... Nothing, but you just have to take it easy on yourself. I mean, look at the brighter side. You are now the new CEO of Anderson Mega Group Of Company, come on, you should be happy mehn."
Sonia's POV I smiled as I baked the cake with excitement. Today is a special day for me. It's my wedding anniversary with my husband, Ethan. But this year was special, there was something even more precious to be celebrated. I'm pregnant and the thought of it makes my stomach swell with joy. After my miscarriage last two years, I hadn't gotten pregnant since then. I was shocked when the doctor handed me the result and told me that I was pregnant. I couldn't contain my joy as I screamed with excitement. I'm planning to surprise Ethan with my pregnancy result tonight even though Things haven't been going well between us for a while now but I can't wait to see his reaction, to watch his face light up when I told him the news. I spent the entire day preparing as the kitchen buzzed with the aroma of his favorite dishes. The table was set, Everything was perfect and My hands trembled slightly as I placed the final touches, imagining the surprise and happiness in his eyes when he wal
Sonia's POV I watched Ethan leave the house, his words echoing in my mind, giving me three days to pack and leave. I wanted to believe that it wasn’t real, that he would come back and we would talk it through. If there were problems between us, I was ready to work them out, to fix whatever was broken. Divorce wasn’t an option for me—not after everything we've been through, not now that I'm carrying his child. I just needed him to come back home, to see me, to see us and to know that I was carrying his child. I sank into the couch that was close to me as I cried like a child with my whole body trembling from emotions and shock."Where do I go wrong? Why can't Ethan love me?" Tears of heartbreak streamed down my cheeks. "Oh, please! Don't act so surprised and heartbroken. Do you think that my handsome and rich brother was going to remain with a lowlife like you? I told you, it's only a matter of time." Tina, Ethan's step-sister said with a sinister smile, rolling her eyes as she str
Sonia's POV "Sonia was never pregnant." He blurted out, coldly, "The child was the only reason why I accepted to marry her when mother was forcing me. I found out later that she lied about being pregnant just to have me marry her." His voice was cold, cruel, and filled with bitterness. "I knew it. I knew she was up to no good but It's okay, my love. Everything will be fine now that I'm back." Celine replied. My blood went cold, I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I sat frozen on the bed, my hand trembling as I listened. Ethan thought I lied about being pregnant just to have him marry me? How could he think of that? Was that the reason why he started acting cold towards me after my miscarriage? No, I can't believe this. My breath caught in my throat as I remembered that terrible day, the day my whole world collapsed.I had been so happy, so full of hope. The child growing inside me had been the one thing that gave me purpose in this hollow marriage. But all that changed when
Ethan's POV I thought when I marry Sonia, I would learn to love her and forget about Celine but I was wrong. My heart still beat for her, no matter how hard I tried to convince myself otherwise.Celine was my childhood friend and my first love. Even though she was the one who cheated on me, I was ready to forgive and take her back. Sounds crazy right? But that was how much I loved her. I never knew Sonia had always wanted to have me, to take Celine’s position in my life until the day our drinks was drugged, leading to sexual encounter between us. I only asked her to pretend to be my financee pending on when the scandal would dies out. But then, she told me she was pregnant. I was shocked.. confused. I asked her to give me time, to let me process everything because I wasn’t ready for this kind of commitment, especially not with my secretary, someone I didn’t love. I didn’t know how, but somehow, my mother found out about the pregnancy before I could even figure things out for mysel
Sonia's POV "And with this new design concept, we project a 30% increase in our sales for the next two years,” Jake, one of my senior designers, said confidently as he pointed to the screen. The room was silent, except for the clicking of his laser pointer and the hum of the air conditioning. The rest of my workers watched me expectantly, waiting for my reaction. I leaned back in my chair, my fingers intertwined on the desk in front of me. It was a good presentation... no, it was great. They had worked tirelessly on this, and it showed.“That’s... impressive, Jake,” I said with a smile. “You’ve all done a fantastic job. Let’s proceed with this strategy and you all will be getting a bonus for this.”Jake and the rest of the workers exchanged relieved smiles, their faces washed with joy as they all shouted and jumped with excitement. I knew they had put their all into this, and they deserved to feel proud. "Thank you, ma'am." They appreciated, bowing their heads. I watched as they

Chad I was about to give up a few hours later when luck smiled on me. I saw a hefty bodyguard, guiding Mr Gaston out of the company without Tara. I got out of my car and went straight to the reception as soon as I saw Mr Gaston's car leave the company building. "I'm looking for Miss Tara," I said to the receptionist with a smile on my face. " Do you have an appointment with her?" she asked, returning my smile. " Yes." " Take the elevator, her office is on the fifth floor." I took the elevator to the fifth floor and I gasped in shock when I saw the place. Her office was on the same floor as the CEO, making my heart heavy with worries. My heart began pounding in my chest when I approached her office. I knocked gently on the door and her sweet and angelic voice asked me to come in. I swung the door open with my trembling hand and she gasped in shock when her gaze fell on me. " What are you doing here? Who was the bastard that let you in?!" she roared with rage, her voice slic
Chad's POVI woke up the next day with the thought of Tara in my head.I still couldn't believe that Sophie saw Tara at the Smith company.I mean, Tara didn't use to go out or visit a friend when she was with me or had any friends so, how did they meet and become so close to the extent of being married within a short time. No, I don't think it's Tara that she saw, she might be mistaken. Tara would never do that. I have to go and see for myself before I know what to do. " My love, are you alright? Your food is getting cold." Sophie's voice jolted me out of my thoughts. "Oh, I'm alright," I responded, placing the cold food in my mouth. The food was so bad that I almost spit it out but Sophie was staring at me with a smile on her beautiful face, so I had to force myself to eat it. " How is the food? I prepared it specially for you" she said with a smile as she poured me a fruit juice. I almost puked blood when I heard her. How can she call this dog food a special food? Doesn't she
Ethan I wasn’t surprised when I got the call last night. One of the few loyal board members told me everything and how the emergency meeting wasn’t just about the scandal, but a well-planned move to push me out and I was shocked when I heard the mastermind was Tina. God, Tina kept on surprising me every day. First, she went to be with Alex even when she knew that I wasn't on good terms with him and now? She's planning to take over the company she didn't even know how my mother and I built? Gush, she really disappointed me and I am very sure wherever my mother is now, she will be regretting why she accepted her into the family. I leaned back in my chair, staring at the ceiling for a long moment as the truth sank in. I knew Tina could do anything but I never thought she could plan for my downfalls. I gave her love and care an older brother could give her sister and Now she’s stabbing me in the back for the same power I gave her? The betrayal burned more than any headline could.
Tina I woke up early with excitement. I was so happy that I couldn't sleep all through the night. Today is the day, the day for the emergency meeting and by the end of it, the perfect, praised, untouchable Ethan will be nothing but a memory in this company while l be the new president. God, I have been waiting for these days all my life. The thought of seeing Ethan's proud face crumble when he realizes his precious board members have all turned against him... God, the joy that thought gives me is more than words can explain. I imagined his reaction over and over again and each time, my heart swelled even more. I stood in front of the mirror again for what must have been the tenth time. I checked my makeup, adjusted my blouse, and made sure not a strand of hair was out of place. Today, I needed to look like power itself. Like a woman who just conquered her greatest enemy. When I stepped outside and got into my car, I could feel the adrenaline rushing through my veins. As I d
Alex Wow!I couldn’t stop the wide grin that spread across my face as I scrolled through my phone.The internet was on fire. Everywhere, every platform, every blog was buzzing with the news of Ethan forcing himself on a woman.I leaned back in my chair, laughing quietly to myself. The comments alone were something else. Insults, Disgust, Hatred. People were tearing Ethan apart like wild animals.God... Celine really outdid herself this time.How did she even pull this off within a short time? God, It wasn't even up to twenty-four hours!What surprised me even more were the other women, random strangers popping up like mushrooms after rain, all claiming Ethan had done the same thing to them in the past.I shook my head in amazement.Celine is dangerous. That woman deserves a damn award... and a big warning label too. Because if she could destroy Ethan’s image in a few hours, then I needed to be very careful around her.One wrong move, and she could just easily come for me although, i
EthanAfter our steamy moment together, I carried Sonia to the bathroom, not wanting her to lift a finger.She was still breathing softly against my chest, her skin flushed and glowing.God, she is so beautiful.I turned on the warm water and held her carefully, bathing her like she was the most delicate thing in the world.My hands moved slowly, gently washing her body, taking my time to show her just how much she meant to me.She closed her eyes, resting her head against me, smiling sweetly at me and I swear, my heart grew even bigger for her.After I finished bathing her, Sonia smiled up at me again and said, “Now, let me take care of you.”Before I could say anything, she poured soap into her small hands and started rubbing it gently into my hair.Her fingers massaged my scalp slowly, tenderly, making me close my eyes and melt under her touch.She was treating me like I was some kind of king at a beauty spa, and I have never felt so loved... so seen... in my entire life.She poure
