Charisse

Huff, huff.

I was moving but I couldn't feel my feet. I was breathless, my heart was racing, but it wasn't because I was moving.

It was fear. The fear of getting caught… and knowing the truth.

Huff, huff.

They say a woman's instincts are real. And I wished they hadn't said it, or I didn't hear it.

They also say that a woman is a walking contradiction.

I wished I had stayed as Val specifically told me to, but I was also glad that I didn't.

I stepped off the last step and Val was already out of the elevator on his long strides out the building.

He was still on the phone with the person he called ‘baby’.

“...oh that?” Val chuckled as though it was a joke. “That was one of the helpers.”

My time froze. I am Val’s maid?

No, no, no… there must be a mistake. I must've heard wrong.

Val laughed. “You know how clumsy they can get. Can't even handle a mobile. Probably never seen one of them in her whole life….”

A bitter taste seeped into my mouth.

I may be clumsy. But I know

  • My Beta's Betrayal, My Alpha's Obsession   CHAPTER 23: THE ALPHA'S OBSESSION BEGAN

    CharisseI crashed into a puddle outside the restaurant. My shoulder slammed into the hard pavement but it was my chest that hurt. My shattered heart. But the rain continued to beat down coldly. No one could tell the mental and physical pain from my Beta’s betrayal. How could they, when the rain washed it all away, making it non existent. My devotion towards that man, my love, my entire life. All of it was non-existent. I, Charisse Pax, never existed!But I am here! The pain is real! As real as the soiled dress sticking to my skin, the damp hair on my face!I gripped myself up. I couldn't just give up like this! That woman will not get my Val! I WILL NOT LET HER! I charged towards the entrance door—.But those burly men anticipated my return like I was the kind of crazy they’d often meet as a fine dining restaurant. Their biceps swung in like a leash and I was thrown back on the ground. “Get out of here!” One of them boomed. “Go on!”But I clambered to my feet once more. I

  • My Beta's Betrayal, My Alpha's Obsession   CHAPTER 21: YOU TOOK MY CALL?

    CharisseI stared at the end-call screen with the name ‘Boss’ on it. Thoughts and memories rushed in. Millions and millions of them. Each trying to make sense of what had happened and what I just heard. Then, I figured it all out. ‘Boss’ is a woman who made Val work overtime that particular night when he came home at nine. She felt apologetic because it had to be done so she called to apologise! Yes, that’s it! It must be it. She probably calls everyone in the office ‘baby’, and she should already be sued for harassment by using such intimate terms on male colleagues. I grabbed the phone off the floor and put it back on the desk, feeling much better. Val wouldn’t cheat on me. He wouldn’t because I’m the only one for him—and he’d said this every time we’re together. And if he’d wanted to cheat on me, he would have already left me. But he’s still here!I laughed at my silliness. Overthinking kills, Charisse. You need to stop doing it, I told myself. And then the buzzing started

    DorianI turned away to take the call. “What?” “Hey, is your secretary’s husband called Valentin Egoton?” asked Alfred. I glanced at Charisse who was folding the pink dress, a big smile plastered on her face, and muttered quietly, “Yes. Why?” “He made a reservation for two at Saul’s tomorrow night.” I stepped out of earshot as the restaurateur continued, “He asked for a live quartet and some special decor for his table—.”My jaw clenched in frustration. “And you’re telling me this because?” “That’s a bit too extravagant for a birthday celebration, don’t you think?” I kneaded my forehead to stop myself from yelling at him. “Still don’t get your point.” His tongue clicked in disbelief. “He’s gonna propose, man!”I sighed, holding my temples. “Still don’t get why you’re telling me this—.” “Dude, the name of the woman he gave us isn’t Charisse!” I spun around to take a good look at the amazing woman striding back to her desk, unconsciously flaunting assets she wasn’t aware she ha

  • My Beta's Betrayal, My Alpha's Obsession   CHAPTER 19: I DID IT BECAUSE YOU LIKED IT

    CharisseI should’ve emptied all the bins on Saturday like usual. Then, I wouldn't have found the receipt for a diamond ring in the bin in Val’s study. A private person he is, one of the things Val loves about me is my respect for his privacy. I've never entered his study without his permission, and I only go in there when it's cleaning time or trash time. But when Val didn't come home at seven for the first time in nine years, I badly needed a distraction. So I did some light cleaning and cleared the trash. It was a secret purchase for a reason—a surprise proposal. And I had spoiled it. Worse, I began overthinking, going through every detail that he’d done out of routine, starting with him coming home late to not making love to me, and wondering if they all had something to do with him being sick and tired of me. Or disgusted with my slutty and inconsiderate behaviour. “Cancel the meeting at four,” Dorian’s voice pierced through. I snapped back, blinking profusely. “The me

    CharisseI miss you, Val…. “Baby.” I opened my eyes and Val was right in front of me.That smile. The tenderness in his gaze. It used to give me comfort and peace. Now, all I felt was hair-rising fear. I jolted back. “Val! I–I didn’t mean to doze off! The beef stew will be ready in three minutes—!” Hurry and get him food, or he’ll punch your stomach again! My mind screamed. But as I turned to dash into the kitchen, an iron grip came over my wrist. Immediately, I cowered. A chilling fear seized me. I waited for the blow to my stomach—. “Ssh, baby,” he whispered, pulling me forward. The first touch of his arms stiffened me. Then, as they wrapped around my back to engulf me into his embrace, something swarmed up my throat, threatened to burst through. I didn’t know why I was feeling disgusted. This is Val. The man who loved me more than anyone could and would. The man who would do anything to keep me safe. So I should feel safe, loved and protected. But the ominous feeling rema
