MANUEL’S POV
I decided to place a call to Jonathan, he is highly skilled and will catch the master mind in no time, but just as I placed the call I thought of something and hanged up.I went to the bin and took the box out, apparently I had discard the box when I took the drive out.I checked inside it to see if I could find anything only then did my gaze catch a small note inside the box as I took it outDearest AlphaI hope you enjoyed the little show,I must say you sure know how to please a woman and the public will go crazy about this.How would that feel?.Well let’s cut to the chase, you send one million dollars check to the account below and everyone stays happy.It is win win ending.You have 24 hours to make the payment or the public see this and we both know this is bad for you sweetheart and if you try anything funny I promise you’ll surely regret it“OUR DEAR ALPHA HAVING FUN WITH A PROSTITUTE”Good heading right?.You have 24 hours.~~~Anonymous“Fuck.” I cursed as I tore the note into pieces, who dare do this to me,Who has the gut to threaten me!! .I can’t involve just anyone in this but I also need to track this person down and would make their life a living hell but who ever it was is very good in covering their tracks cause I don’t know where to start but then the lounge is a good start by the way.I called cris to confirm if the driver was ready as I made my way to the elevator.I told the driver to drive to Micheal residence, he was the only I could trust at the moment.It took about 45 minutes before we got to his residence, he lives at the outskirt of the city but he will always tell me he has his reasons.His place is heavily guarded and the security is too notch,I always wonder if he had enemies from his past life because Micheal is very easy going person I’ll ever know and a bad ass In technology and weapon.I once told him to start his own agency but he would say it wasn’t time yet.I got to the gate and scanned my face to gain entrance to his compound as the driver packed on the garage.“I’ll be back shortly, you can wait at the quarters.” I said to the driver as I got down from the car and made my way to the building entrance, of course I had to scan my finger again.“Micheal won’t be the end of me.” I sighed as I entered the house.“You really should chill with the whole security system, no one is coming to kill you man.” I said to him as I entered the kitchen.I always know where to find him,he his such a weirdo.He loves cooking of all hobbies.“That’s why you were framed up or should I say caught in the act,I saw your message.” He said as he washed his hands giving me audience.I gave him a death stare,I’m not saying one shouldn’t have good security but this one is choking it’s not like you’re a criminal or Mafia King.“Well,if you say that.” I concluded“I’m here for a solution and not scolding.” I continued as he pour me whisky.“Really Micheal,you want to traumatized me.” I said to him.“At least you having it in my house,and I won’t drug you dear Alpha.you’re not my type.” He said smiling.“I’ll make sure I shut your mouth one of these days.” I said to him gulping down the whisky.I saw him laugh,Micheal would sure frustrate one’s life but he’s my very good friend.“So,fill me in.” He said.So I narrated the whole thing from the beginning, How I was worn out and decided to go relax at the lounge and how a woman in her fourties’ came to me and we started talking up to the point of me entering the room.That was all I could remember,it was like my memory was wiped for that moment.“Hmm,can you recall the woman face I mean the one who took you to the room?.” He asked.“Yhh, I can’t vividly thou but if I see her I will.” I answered him.“So it’s so obvious that you were drugged, but the issue now is that we don’t know how but according to your statement you got the drink form the bar before the woman came at all so now I can conclude that the pole dancers you were watching drugged your drink.” Micheal said.“It couldn’t have been the pole dancers because none came to me,I told them I was fine watching.” I said to him.There was a few minutes of silence“Was there anything strange about the room,was it cloudy or you smelt anything strange?.” He asked like he was figuring something outBut thinking about it now,I recall the light of the room was dim and it smelt rather nice but an unusual smell,something I don’t know of.“Yhh,it smelt different like nice yet strange and the room light was dim.” I answered him“That’s it.” He said standing up like he had finally figured it out.“You my friend was drug with medetomidine gas.” He continued“What!!!.” I exclaimed“Yes Manuel,that’s why the room smelt nice yet strange and the light were dimmed,they work better and faster when it dark,” he said to meIt all made sense now,I was okay till I got to the room then everything vanished.“Fuck.” I cursedBut the girl……..EPILOGUEOn the 24th of August,my beautiful daughter Ava was born.At the right time too."she's so lovely"Martha,my new mother said as tears welled up in her eyes."Isn't she?"Manuel said softly as he stretched out his hands to envelope the beautiful tiny creature in his hands."Daddy let me see,let me see!" Nora chirped jumping up and down just to get a good look of her baby sister."Yes!I finally have a sister. Thank you mummy!"she said excitedly.I laughed.Manuel planted a soft kiss on my forehead."You did great Samantha thank you for eveything. Thank you for coming into my life.

Were we really this tiny too when we were little?" Finn added.My heart filled with joy looking at my family.Martha stood at Manuel's side with the baby in her arms and a warm smile on her face. While my kids surrounded Manu
SAMANTHA POVMy mind trailed back to all the seasons in our lives that seemed difficult that we never imagined we would scale through but we did. And I was eternally grateful to having the fate to meet Manuel in my life.He was indeed a blessing in my life.We had fought multiple times.***FLASHBACK***"There is no way that I will have a relationship in secret and I will never stand here and watch as other men sniff after what's mine" He told me grimly."I'm not an object!"I shouted.He arched a brow at me."No matter what you do now,you can't take it back.

There was a lot of past behind us.I recalled all the moments I feared we wouldn't make it last.***FLASHBACK***How long will you keep up this act?"I asked."Am sorry, what act?" She asked feigning innocence.I groaned in frustration."You do not know what I went through there.They helped me and I couldn't just let your jealously get the best of you and have you laying baseless accusations against someone that had done absolutely nothing to you"I spoke.I watched as her expression changed with each word I spoke."Jealousy? Baseless accusations?" she repeated.I groaned out."You know that's not what I meant by that.I just...She turned to walk away. My hand snaked out to grip her arm."Manuel,let me go."She told me trying to struggle out of my grasp."Don't walk away from me when am talking to you."I warned holding her tighter."Manuel,let me go!"

Nora said."Look.Look.."Finn cried."Samantha?"Manuel spoke up"Doctor!she's awake!she's awake!"I heard him calling out.The first thing I noticed when I opened my eyes was the intense glare of the overhead lightning.I raised my hand to cover my eyes until my eyes adjusted to the light.When the doctor were done with their tests and my vitals were checked, I watched the relief on all their faces.From Micheal and a beautiful female who was glued to his side.I couldn't hide the smile that crept up on my face which he returned with a boyish grin.My kids ran up to me.And with Manuel's help I was able to get them all on my bed.I was seated with my unbelievably huge belly inbetween my thighs.I had been told that I was asleep for over five months and that there had been any sort of hope of me recovering. And that it was a Miracle that I had survived evenafter loo
MANUEL'S POVOne second.Two seconds passed but still nothing.My heart pounding in my chest as I waited for the people to speak. The council looked smug on their table as they watched the tumult of emotions that passed through my face as I watched the crowd."Alpha Manuel!" Someone shouted from the crowd."Long live Alpha Manuel!" Another rose to cheer.And the rest stood chanting.Soon the room is filled with eruptions of cheers and claps as they chorused their answer."Long live Alpha Manuel!"They chanted in harmony."Order!order this minute!

MANUEL'S POV"What is this Manuel?" I cried."Where have you been?!" He said through gritted teeth."What is that supposed to mean?Are you monitoring my whereabouts now?"I asked in disbelief."Just tell me where you were Dammit!" He said.I jerked backwards at his raised voiceHe took steps backwards pacing away from me,running a hand through his hair."Why are you getting angry at me for?" She cried."You ...you've been having an affair all this while and I didnt know.How couldn't I have known. "I told her.Her mouth grew agape in feigned shock.I felt my blood boil mat the thought that she thought she could deceive me."Where is all this coming from Manuel?"She asked.I couldn't let her know that it was Maeve because it wasn't. All Maeve did was comform a suspicion that I've had for the longest time."That's not important. What's important is the fact that you've been secretive,absent and distant for a while now"'I told her.She raised her hand up in exasperation."That's because I
