LAYLA

My heart sank to the pit of my stomach when Theodore asked me to answer the call and put it on loudspeaker.

“What?” he raised his brow. “Why are you hesitating? Go on. Answer the damn phone.”

“It’s not like I cannot answer the phone. Of course, I can. There’s nothing to hide. I’m just appalled that you believed Rhonda. Rhonda? The woman who lied to ruin you?” I widened my eyes, feigning shock.

“I am not asking you to pick up because of what she said. I just want to know why you have been

    LAYLAAndrew and I were supposed to meet at a private booth in a restaurant miles away from here in an hour. Or so we agreed. But I had other plans. Show up at his house uninvited, entice him with the money, and at the peak of his excitement, shoot him dead and disappear from the scene. That seemed like a perfect plan, right?But what the fuck was this woman doing here? Melinda. She was his wife, and my research told me that she was out of town. All their kids were grown, so none of them lived with them. It was just Melinda and Andrew. When the hell did she return?Melinda’s eyes narrowed as she stared at me. “I know you. I have seen you trending on social media platforms. Alpha Theodore’s concubine.”“I am not his concubine!” I gritted.Before she could respond, Andrew showed up behind her.“Layla?” he called in shock. “What are you doing here?”“I came to uhm...” I swallowed.“Honey, can you go inside for a moment, please?” he quickly said as he wrapped his arm around his wife.She

    RHONDAThe officer’s eyes widened when she saw Malcolm.“Good day, Alpha Malcolm,” she quickly greeted.“Good day, Officer. How may we help you?” Malcolm responded, knowing fully well why she was here.“You’re parked in an unauthorized area, so I came to check what’s going on,” she said. “Is there a problem? I might be able to help…”“There’s no problem, officer. I just got... overwhelmed, and I had to park to cool off the heat,” Malcolm told her.“If only she knew the context,” I whispered in his head, and a smile spread across his lips. The officer thought he was smiling at her, and she also smiled.I shook my head.“Are you... less overwhelmed now? I could help if you need it,” she quickly muttered.The only reason she wasn't issuing a ticket right now was because it was Malcolm. A regular person would've gotten a ticket. Instead, she was here, caring for him. Classism was real. “No. I am good. We’ll leave now. Thank you,” Malcolm waved at her. And as she tried to poke inside the

    RHONDAThis was one of the best days of my life. We won the case.“How do we celebrate?” Malcolm asked on our way to the hotel room. We weren’t going back to West Haven immediately. We decided to wait until tomorrow. Our companies could survive two days without us.“I don’t know,” I leaned in and planted a soft kiss on his neck, “how do you want us to celebrate?”His jaw tightened, but not out of anger. He was exercising control.“There’s a child in the car,” he said through the mind-link, nodding his head towards Leo, who was seated at the back.“And how does that matter?” I winked at him and planted another soft kiss on his neck.He breathed heavily. “Ughhh. Woman,” he grunted.I chuckled, knowing exactly what I was doing. His neck was one of his soft spots, and I was definitely arousing him, evidenced by the bulge that had now shown in his trousers.He shut his eyes tightly and whispered in my head, “Even the sound of your voice is seductive. The effect you have on me is crazy.”Be

    LAYLA“Our conversation. I have it on recording,” Andrew said, making me stop in my tracks.My lashes fluttered as I turned around to look at him.“The one we just had now, or…?” I asked, hoping he would say yes. Then I’d grab whatever device he used and delete it right away.But my heart sank when he shook his head. “No. The one we had in the car, where you asked me to swap the result.”“Are you trying to threaten me?” I shot my brow up. I tried to act composed, despite the panic tearing through me at the moment. I should have been more careful. Damn!“Depends on if you cooperate or not,” he shrugged.I inched closer to him, venom soaking my voice as I spoke. “I swear, if you try anything stupid, you will not live to see the next day.”And I wasn’t bluffing. I didn’t care about staining my hands with another blood if it meant saving myself.“Oh,” he tilted his head to the side, “threatening me now?”“Delete that recording!” I groaned.“Not until you pay me my balance. I couldn’t have

The woman who lied to ruin you?” I widened my eyes, feigning shock.“I am not asking you to pick up because of what she said. I just want to know why you have been speaking with another doctor when we have a family doctor,” he grunted.“There’s no other reason you would ask me to answer my phone and put it on loudspeaker. You have never been interested in whoever I spoke with over the phone,” I argued.I had to try as much as possible to get him to give up.The phone stopped ringing, and I almost exhaled in relief.“Call him back,” he groaned, short-living my relief.Panic rushed through me, and my fingers shook slightly as I turned on the phone’s screen.

    LAYLAWhat the hell just happened?I fucking tried to prevent this. Once the court was dismissed, I dashed out of the courtroom and dialed Doctor Andrew’s number. The fucking bastard.He picked up on the first ring.“Are you out of the court already?” he said from the other end of the line. “Where should we meet for the balance? Same place?”“You are an idiot for making that statement,” I growled into the phone. “Yes, same place. But bring my money back!”“What do you mean, bring your money back? And Ms. Layla, I do not tolerate insults in any form. Just because you are paying me for a job doesn’t mean you can talk to me as you wish. I am a respected doctor who graduated from a prestigious university.”“If you were a respected doctor, then you would have honored our agreement. You wouldn’t have scammed me of my money,” I snapped.“What do you mean by that? I didn’t scam you. I did as agreed and even informed you the moment I got the job done.”“No. You did not get the job done,” I gro

    RHONDA The person staring back at me in the picture was James, the tech director of DTech. How was that possible? I shook my head. No. That was impossible. “James cannot be my father,” I muttered as I continued staring at the picture. If he was my father, then he would’ve recognized me, right?

Victor and Cane were also on board with us. “What do you think about moving in with me?” Malcolm suddenly asked. My brows furrowed as I turned to look at him. “We
