“What do you mean by that?”

I couldn’t believe what I just heard. I happily came back to work today after one week away. I happily walked to my workstation to continue my normal work only to find that I had been logged out of my work system.

Not just that but all my physical logs were gone from my table. I thought something happened while I was away. I thought they cleaned up and messed with my stuff and I went to the people responsible for cleaning and they told me they didn’t do anything.

Since I was early, I sat and waited for my work team to arrive only for them to stare at me as if they had seen a ghost and now, I was standing in front of my director. He just said the craziest thing ever.

“You have been pulled out of the research. You will be paid for all your work so far but that’s about it.”

His words rang in my ears over and over again but I just couldn’t bring myself to believe that I heard him right. Pulled out? Paid off? Those are words that I never thought

    Danielle “Let’s just say we made each other better. This version of me is all his handiwork.” I told her and we laughed. “I am just glad he found you and got you to take him! Do you know how many times he ranted to me before you both got together? I say I had a hand in him pursuing you! I told him to go for what he wants but do it in a way that will win you over.” She revealed. “So, you are the reason he went to my best friend and my parents?” Jasmine put her hands up. “Didn’t tell him that! Just told him trying to be mean won’t get him what he wants. Thank goddess that he listened.” Yeah, I am thankful that he listened to everyone. That’s the only reason we are here right now. If he had continued with his former approach, I definitely would have sued him instead of going to him. “Thank you and everyone else who helped us navigate our way to each other.” I told her and she waved me off but I could tell that she liked being thanked. I really like her and I just kn

    Danielle “Oh, my love? I wasn’t expecting to see you back here!” I let out when I saw Andres. He folded his hands and narrowed his eyes at me and I scratched the back of my head. Yeah, I didn’t do anything wrong but I promised him that I would take a break and rest but I couldn’t rest so after making sure Joan was okay with the nanny, I went right back to my clinic. I expected to be done before he showed up but he caught me. “I told you to rest!” He scolded me. If only he knew that I can’t rest when I have something at hand. I don’t think taking a break will help me. There was only so much I could do after assembling all the herbs I needed and processing them. The fermentation process takes days and I have to wait. I know to wait but waiting wasn’t something I am good at so I opted to make some other medicine with the remaining herbs. “I don’t have an excuse but can you let me off just this once?” I asked with a pout. He almost smiled but held back. “Why should I?” “Becaus

    Andres “Andres!” Jasmine let out when she was done greeting everyone else. I laughed out loud at her dramatic performance as she walked to me. “I missed you buddy!” She let out right before she crashed into my arms. Good thing Danielle wasn’t here. She might know that Jasmine is just my friend but being my mate means there’s always going to be a possessiveness. “Welcome home, Jasmine! We missed having you around here.” I told her while patting her back. “It’s good to be home! I am never leaving!” I laughed because I knew she would be on the plane again if a new job called. She loves being a secret agent and I like it for her. “I am serious! I know you don’t believe because of my past records but this time it’s for real! I am staying here! My mate and I are thinking of starting a family!” She whispered in my ear. When she pulled away from our hug and I got a good look at her, I realized that she was being serious. “I need to meet this woman who has gotten you wrapped around

    Andres “What?” I let out. I knew he was in prison and I even knew what got him in but I had no idea Manuel knew him. “I think he did! He is looking for allies!” Danielle told me. Allies? Yes, now that he realizes that working with someone is better than working alone, he wants allies! He decided to pick one of the most dangerous people as an ally. “He has lost his mind! What’s he planning to do with that sicko?” I let out even though I knew already. He needed someone murderous on his side because he wanted someone to do the dirty work.“It’s very obvious that he is not going to back down!”Danielle let out. There was both anger and fear in her voice.I reached for her hand and squeezed reassuringly. No matter what that bastard tries to do, he will fail! “Jasmine, when are you getting here?” I asked Jas on the phone. “Twenty minutes! I am already in the car!” Twenty minutes, enough time to fill my beta and some deltas in on what has been going on. “Okay, meet me in the

    Andres “I will be working from home for the next four weeks.” I told my chief assistant on the phone. “Cancel all plans and trips for now. Either postpone or offer a visual meeting.” I added. I refuse to leave my home and pack until I am sure that all threats are gone. Working from home means I will spend more time with my daughter while my mate is busy making the remaining doses of antidotes. It still pisses me off to think that that bastard got away but I couldn’t go against what Danielle wanted. She didn’t want me there so I stayed back but now that she has what she needed to make the antidote, nothing will stop me from taking him down. Danielle only slept a few hours and was up again once Donovan showed up with all the herbs she requested. She has been in her clinic all morning working hard to make the antidote even though she didn’t even sleep last night. It’s not like I doubted her love before but right now, it feels like she loves Joan more than I do which i

    Danielle “This is it?” I let out as I picked one of the small bottles and examined it. I can’t believe this is what that fucker had and wanted to destroy my life for. Yeah, it’s definitely the antidote but the shots were just small so it made the whole situation kind of laughable. “Baby?” I looked at the sound of Andres' voice and smiled when I saw him standing by the door. I waved him over. “It’s the antidote.” I said and placed the tiny bottle in his palm. It looked even smaller when he held it. “This is it?” Glad I wasn’t the only one thinking it made no sense. “It is! Crazy right? These little bottles just saved us from a crazy situation. You don’t know what I was ready to do for these bottles.” I told him and he responded by pulling me in for a side hug. I rested my head on him. “Are you going to give her this?” Of course not! I don’t trust Manuel at all so until I test the antidote and am sure it’s okay to use, I won’t give it to my daughter. “I will decide tha
