LENA. Jamie walked out of the office, and I swear, I trembled. His steps were slow and dangerous. He was glaring at me when I turned to him, and he looked like a little devil. I knew that this was it, and this man was going to order the downfall of the company that I just joined. Royce might be acting all chilled, but I know deep down he already hates me, and I know deep down there would be no need to be scared. Alexander will remember me because he never wanted to see me again. I stayed still, shocked by the new development. This was it. This was my doom, and no one was going to save me from it. “Royce, who is this little chipmunk?” His devilish eyes didn’t leave mine, and I was left to look at the marble floor. I couldn’t even raise my head because of what I did. “She does look like a chipmunk.” Royce laughed, and I wondered if he ever took anything seriously. “Her name is Lena.” Alexander’s cold voice sounded, and for a second I thought that he was mad because Jamie called me a
ALEXANDER.“She is no one!” I had to say those words to Jamie even when she meant the entire world to me in this moment. Perhaps I was playing too fast in my mind, but a man knows what he wants when he sees it. I wanted Lena. Jamie didn’t seem to believe me. He stared at her strongly, his gaze unwavering. He looked upset at the same time; he wasn’t reacting, and that seemed to baffle me. Why was he staring at her like that? To stop him, I pulled Lena away from him. Yes, she had gone ahead and said some words she was not supposed to say to him, and that made him step forward toward her, and she didn’t even look scared of him. Slamming her against the wall, I could feel anger surge through me, and even I couldn’t explain why I was feeling so much anger in this moment. “Do you even know who the heck he is?!” I was glaring at her now, and she was indifferent about it. She didn’t look like she cared, but I wanted her to. I was going to protect her, but she needed to be careful. I was mer
LENA. He told me to think about it. He really wanted me to sleep with Alexander? Why did he even come up with that idea? I sat in my side of the office. I was brought here after Royce dismissed me, and since I had issue with those girls, no one was willing to speak to me. The rumour that I was seducing their bosses had spread like wildfire. Yet, I was shocked because I was used to this type of setting. I had been bullied my whole life. Every time I go somewhere new, I subconsciously start to expect bullying.I was the team leader, yet no one had walked up to me to fill me in on the pending jobs. They were either talking among each other or not saying anything at all. “Where is she?” A man's voice sounded from the door and even before I raised my head to see who it was, I already knew. Then with a grunt he walked over to me and before I could say a word, he grabbed my arm and pulled me from the chair like I weighed nothing. He towered over me, making me seem like I was short when I w
ALEXANDER. Watching her walk home was giving stalker, but I would rather watch her get home safely than leave her all alone. I followed the taxi she took, and now I was walking behind her, back to her apartment, which surprisingly wasn't far from the packhouse. Houses here were very expensive because they were close to the packhouse, which meant premium safety. The elite lived here. I liked that, but getting a house here required two years deposit, which was actually a lot. I wonder deep down where she got that money from. Was it from selling her body, or was she actually rich? She was hiding something. She twirled under a street light. Her dark hair swayed as she moved, and I smiled unconsciously. I had actually never seen her smile like that or play like a little kid. She walked to the front of a gate, and I stopped watching her go in, but then the door was pulled back before she did, and then came out a lady.“Allyson, hii…” Lena smiled, and I could tell they were friends from h
LENA.I stared at the door to his office with sweaty palms. Alexander was behind that door, and I could feel his smell. His breath even from where I stood. I contemplated going in, scared of what I would do when I saw him. Bracing myself, I took the step that would take me to see the man that I thought I had eliminated. Months of suffering, thinking that I ended the life of my mate, and now, I was going to see him. I pushed the door back, and there he was behind the brown oak table, looking down at the laptop in front of him, and suddenly he raised his head, and my heart jumped to my throat. I didn’t know how much I had missed him until I saw him right now. The mate bond slipped through so quickly, like a rush of electricity, it moved through me. I stayed still, trying to steady; he doesn’t know me. He doesn’t remember me, and I had to keep it like that. I couldn’t imagine him going through any more pain. I checked the things Jennie had told me, and it was true. Indeed, every propert
ALEXANDER.“Are you really going to leave the kids and I all because of a slut you just found?” Her voice sounded behind my ears while I threw some of my shirts into the travelling bag. I only came back for some office files and now, I found myself throwing in some shirts I bought recently.“Stop calling her that!” I growled, staring at her over my shoulder and she trembled, my aura slipping it even when I didn’t intend for it to do so.“You are going to regret this, Xandy. There is a reason I said I am the only one who can love you. Even that girl cannot love you the way I can. I have been here, even when the world abandoned you, I stood around all because I love you and now you want to leave me for some new girl?” Her voice dripped with venom and incredulity. She shook her head, her hand folded around her body. For a few seconds, I felt the guilt wash over me and I paused. She left the room but I could still smell how sad she was. Some hours after, I was in my new home. I g
