تسجيل الدخولDante DominicThe nursery had never felt so empty as I stood in the doorway staring at the two bare cribs. Lori's sobs were so loud in the corridor that she was inconsolable."What happened? Is it true? I came as fast as I got the call..." Silas appeared beside me in a flash. I had heard his car come in, but I didn't bother to step out to welcome him. He would come on his own because this was partly his fault for letting Janie go unchecked."Lori..." His voice softened when he saw her and he went towards her to hold her. It took everything in me to keep my rage down. How dare he try to touch her in front of me? But then again... This wasn't the time and place to lose my shit. Lori needed all the support in the world right now. She had been through so much already.Not long after, my mother and sisters and the Stewards came to the house."How did it happen?""Who Is this Janie?""Has her location been traced yet?""Is she looking for ransom? How much is it, I will pay for everything!"
Marcus Hale"I think you're just being paranoid for no reason, Dante." I told him as I leaned backwards into my chair. "It could just be that with everything that has been going on, it's okay to say that everyone has been traumatized and no one is trusting again.""I know what I saw, Marcus." Dante was trying to explain, but I did get him. And at the same time, I was getting tired of having to investigate people just because they rubbed him off a certain kind of way. Many of those investigations had turned up cold, and I was getting tired of I were to be honest."She must have probably been looking at the artwork behind you, and you could have mistaken it for batting her eyelashes at you.""So... You'll tell me that my sister bats an eyelash at you, and you'll think she's looking at someplace else?" He raised a brow at me, and I felt my entire back go rigid with shock."What?""What?" He feigned ignorance. "Isn't there something you want to tell me? Go ahead, my father is in prison so
SarahI was returning to the Dominic house this morning, and my legs wouldn't stop trembling. The doctor mentioned that I was traumatized by the fall, and the house could trigger bad memories, but Mr. Hale told me that he was going to take care of me, and that my presence was just there for a while. Just there to have Mila spit out the truth of trying to poison Mrs. Lori and the children.Mr. Hale had come to the safe house before dawn, his face set and grim. "It's time," he said. "The police have everything they need. Mila will be arrested this morning. And if she talks, and I believe she will, Renée will follow."Now, that part surprised me because I didn't believe, not did I suspect that Miss Renée would have anything to do with it. I was even more shocked when I found out that she had gone ahead and married the boss even while he was still legally married to Mrs. Lori.I stood at the edge of the driveway after the car pulled into the mansion, and the first person who came over to
Lori Steward"Where are you going?" Dante asked me from the door with a cup of hot coffee in his hand. "You look really refreshed and beautiful."On the other side of the room, a loud humph was heard, and I didn't bother turning around to face the person the sound came from. She was one of the reasons why I was stepping out of the house by the way."You think so?" I twirled around in the beautiful summer gown I wore. "I'm going out on a coffee date. How's that?"His face fell slightly. "Date? Is it...""With a woman, Dante." I smiled a little. It had been weeks since the whole revelation and I decided that it was time to stop getting hooked up on the past. I needed a future for myself and my children, even though generational wealth just fell into my lap on a platter."You made a friend... I see." He smiled genuinely after I reassured him. It was still cute to see him worked up that I could have been going out to see a man."Yes, Dante, I have.""Be careful on your way, okay? I will h
JanieThe ballroom was glittering when I stepped in, and I smiled more to myself than anyone else as I raised the champagne glass in my hand to my mouth, covering the smirk that just formed when I saw her.The Omega who had stolen everything from me... My parents and my own life. She stood across the room, surrounded by extremely wealthy people and well-wishers who had come for her children's formal naming ceremony.And beside her was the second wife. I nearly lost it to laughter. So... She couldn't even secure a man, but pushed herself in when he had another woman. Anyway, that wasn't why I came here today.I stared at the shiny plate below me that illuminated my reflection, making me look more beautiful than the doctors had crafted.I made sure to mirror her dress style today. From her auburn hair which was swept into an elegant twist, to the deep emerald gown that she wore which made her eyes glow. I copied every single style but added a toucj of uniqueness to my own. I had spent m
Silas CraneI didn't know how much time had flown, locked in this dark cell. The walls were damp from the rain that dripped from the broken ceiling, and the air smelled rusty with a tinge of old blood mixed somewhere. I was almost certain that the last prisoner that was put in here, bled a lot. Maybe from being bullied or they had a medical situation...I tried pounding against the door again for them to open it. If only I was in my pack, things would have been better. But I had journeyed to the neighbouring pack where Janie was rumoured to be staying, and when I went there, something felt wrong. It was like I was looking at Janie, and at the same time, I wasn't. I wanted to believe that her reaction was as a result of the exile, but I didn't expect her to carry an old heavy trophy and bash her head with it. It was one of my trophys, I recognised. And when. I tried to stop her, it was already too late. She was bleeding hard and her scream had brought the neighbours in...They had to g
Lori's POV "You will be starting immediately as the team's medic. I will give you our training schedules." He paused and met my eyes from across the breakfast table. "I'm sure you're already well aware of it, but for formality sake." His cutlery barely made any noise on his plate. "Don't be late.
Lori's POV "I'll need you to carefully read the terms and conditions of the contract before you sign it." He slipped the document on the hospital bed where I was having my breakfast. "I don't do second chances."His voice was hard and cold the same way it had been last night, and he towered over m
Lori's POV "My children, oh my goodness. Are they... Are they...?" I sat up immediately, my hands moving around my belly, trying to see if I was feeling any pain there, if they were fine, if they were—"Your babies are fine, ma'am. Which is a miraculous thing after all your body has been through."
Lori's POV"I'm pregnant, Lori." Janie's voice was barely above a whisper, and I spun around in shock, my heart already swelling with joy for my best friend."Janie! Oh my goddess!" I rushed across the VIP suite and threw my arms around her, squeezing tight. "That's incredible! I'm so happy for you
