My Stepfather, My Mate, My Professor. 153
ALEXANDER. Vivian committed suicide. She wrote a letter that broke everyone around her and me the most. I had never thought that I could feel so much sadness toward a person until I read the content of the letter. It was heart-wrenching. It consumed me entirely and even ate at my soul. "Her last wish is to have a wedding invitation printed and for her death not to be announced for three months at least. And even when we do, she still wants to be seen as a married woman." Her mother uttered, staring at me with a gaze filled with tears. “I am such a bad mother. How come I didn’t know how sad she was all these years? She got cancer at 17. She smiled through the entire thing and I thought that she was just a strong kid not realising she was in pain. She was bullied in school yet she smiled when she returned home.” The tears she was fighting so hard to hide slipped down her cheeks. I forced myself to stay still. Vivian and I worked together for weeks and she was a lovely soul. She smi

LENA. Four weeks since he left my room after claiming my body. I had received no calls or even a text from him hence I busied myself with work, burying my feelings over piles of documents. I refused to feel dejected by a man who once showed me that I meant nothing to him.Mother was right when she said I should let him prove himself before allowing him into my life. I couldn’t even tell her I had let him into my bed shamelessly that night. The four weeks she gave him were over and she had begun to prepare the kids for travel. She wanted us to leave this place since it reminded me of him so much. She wanted me to find someone else and get married. Ken has been coming around, trying to get my forgiveness, and even promised to let me make the decisions now. I had also seen him with the kids several times, he was trying to make them love him. Yet, I did not see myself getting married again.Just then the door burst open and Ken stepped in. He had an envelope with him.“Have you seen t

ALEXANDER. The next day, I was not sure Lena would be happy to see me. She looked so peaceful sleeping. I watched her snore gently, looking like the goddess she was. We had sex last night, the best sex that felt like home. She was my home.However, I could not help but think she would hate me when she wakes up. Last night she was drunk, and every word she said supported my drunkenness. She may wake up and curse me out. Hence, I slipped out of her bed. I had barely walked three steps down the hallway when I saw Annalise. She paused when she laid eyes on me and looked back at Lena's room. "I just wanna see the kids,” I whispered. “Lena’s room is soundproofed, you don't have to whisper.” She uttered and I nodded. It must be weird for her to see me tiptoe out of her sister’s room when I used to be her mother’s husband. I killed her mom, the reality of that dropped on me like wildfire. Was she aware?Now I see why Lena wouldn’t accept me easily. Our story was too damn painful. Althoug

LENA. I tried working but all I could think about was Alexander’s gaze on me. Why did I have to see him in the hallway after picking Annalise and her cub up? The way his gaze had lingered on me was all I could see when I shut my eyes. Perhaps I had been too hard on him. Yet, I couldn’t help but remember that this wasn’t about me. It was about my kids and who I was allowing into their lives. The next second, the door to my office swung open without a knock making me raise my head. Ken walked in, wearing a tailored charcoal suit and a smile that felt like a predator’s grimace at me. He carried himself with the unearned confidence of a man who had never been told "no.""Lena," he chirped, dropping a leather briefcase onto my mahogany desk. "I have been looking over the Sterling Group’s quarterly projections. I think it’s time I took a more active role in the organization."I didn't even look up from my laptop. "You’re an investor, Ken. A silent one. Emphasis on the silent.""I have

ALEXANDER. Annalise had my room cleaned every day. “I always ask the maid to do it out of guilt. I’m sorry I enabled him… Love, it blinded me.” She shook her head and I saw how she was trying hard to not to cry again. I had many questions for her but none of them seemed right for me to ask. She needed space and I was willing to give that to her. Today, Lans was coming over and he thinks we would be talking about the Alpha position. He assumes I was still interested in taking over the throne. But yes, I was. It wasn’t just my priority right now. Lena and the kids were. How do I win her back into my life? That, I needed to know. Just then, a car drove into the open parking space. And I thought that it was Lans. Quickly, I got to my feet with my tablet. Since Royce was missing, I have been handling the company affairs on my own. Poking my head out the window, I was shocked to see her stepping out of the Lexus car. It was Lena and Annalise. Lena did not look happy, she had a dee

LENA. It’s been three days since I got home and I was already tired of barely doing anything. So today I decided I was going to work with mommy. Isna always calls me mommy and now I am used to calling my mother ‘Mommy’ too. “What?” She turned over her shoulder watching me slurp my cereal. I was such a baby when it came to her. “No, you don't have to work. Your mother is rich. You are a nepo baby. I run a multi-million-dollar company and you already own more than 30% shares of the company. You wanna work again… why?” She turned to me suddenly, her gaze meeting mine. And I choked on my cereal. She rushed over, walking around the kitchen island with a glass of water. She pushed it to my lips, forcing me to swallow a couple of times. How the hell did I move from having no one to having a mother who cares so much about me? Geez. She slapped my chest a few times and only stopped after I stopped coughing. “Girl…. You'd better go back up there and sleep. By the time you get up, the k

LENAI shut the door to my room behind me, my heart heavy with emotions I couldn’t quite name. Daniel’s anger still lingered in the air, suffocating me even though he was nowhere near. What was he hiding? His reaction had been so extreme, so defensive. Why would he get that angry over me checking h

ALEXANDER. Six months and all I had done was watch her from afar. It was all I could do, watch her from afar. Watch her handle projects. Talk about cancer and ways to prevent it. I saw his much she loved it so I made Daniel include her in it all - god, she was so pretty and intelligent. I knew s

LENA. The warm water cascaded down my body, washing away the remnants of sleep and the soreness that lingered from the night before. As I stood under the spray, I let my mind wander. The stranger’s words from the letter replayed in my head, over and over again.“My future oncologist…”Why did that

LENA. My heart pounded greatly in my chest as I headed for the pack house. Every part of me told me it was not right and the sweet wouldn't work. Just why would an ordinary sweet make me change? I panicked as I neared the pack house. However, seeing him again seemed to heal a part of me. How could
