RHONDA

My phone would not stop buzzing.

The relentless vibration against my palm grated on my nerves, Theodore’s name flashing across the screen again and again, disturbing the fragile peace I was trying to cling to.

After a while, I finally decided to pick up out of frustration.

“Yes?” I groaned into the phone.

“Ah, Rhonda!” he slurred into the phone. “Didn’t you see... see... my... text?”

“I saw it,” I answered calmly, despite the rage burning through me.

“So, are you on your way?”

“No. And I

    RHONDABy the time we finished preparing the meal, the kitchen was already filled with a sweet, mouthwatering aroma. I had also learned a few culinary hacks from Luna Rossa, even though she had threatened to hit me with a spatula whenever I mixed something up. I wasn’t even mad at all. If anything, I found it amusing. She was simply living up to the expectations of a strict Italian mother, and somehow, that made me like her even more.We gathered around the dining table to eat, and after our food had already been served, someone suddenly approached the table.“You guys wanted to start eating without me?” a lady with long, lush black hair said as she stepped into the dining area.Luna Rossa immediately turned toward her, narrowing her eyes. “You have been sleeping all day. You didn’t even assist with the cooking. Beautiful Rhonda here did. Vai, vai, viziata! You are not eating.”“Mama,” the lady said, blinking repeatedly as she made a cute face. She pranced toward Luna Rossa and leaned

    RHONDA“Wife?” I raised my brow in confusion as I stared between Amos and his mother.“Mama,” Amos said, shooting her a warning look.What had they been discussing that made her call me his wife at first sight?“Oh,” she said, waving her hand in the air as if it was nothing. “I am just joking. He talks about you and the project you are working on together a lot. That is why I called you his wife, since he would not shut up about you. He is so invested in this project. I have never seen him so enthusiastic about coding work like this before.”I blinked, still a little stunned by her words. Amos talked about me that much? I had known he cared about the project, and I knew he had been helpful, but hearing it from his mother made it sound different. It made it sound as though I had somehow become a regular topic in their home, and I was not sure what to do with that information.She inched closer to me and opened her arms wide for a hug.“I am Luna Rossa. Nice to finally meet you, Rhonda.

    MALCOLMIvy’s place was first.I banged desperately on the door, but there was no response. Frustration burned raw in my blood. I did not know if Rhonda was safe or not. I needed something, anything, to hint that she was safe.If she needed space, then I would respect that, but right now, I had no clue what was happening. I did not know if she had left willingly or if something worse had happened. That uncertainty was driving me insane.After a few more minutes of knocking without any response, I finally called Ivy’s number. She picked up on the second ring.“Alpha Malcolm. What a surprise to see your call,” Ivy muttered from the other end of the line when she answered.I did not even pretend to be interested in exchanging pleasantries.“Where is Rhonda?” I groaned.“She’s your mate. She stays in your pack. So I should be asking you that,” she said, sounding surprised. “Alpha Malcolm, is there anything going on?”“So you don’t know anything?” I asked.“Know what? Now I am getting worr

  • Revenge, Best Served in Codes   234| What the Hell Happened?

    MALCOLM“Let’s hear your proposition. What do you think is the best way to market this product?” I asked the head of the marketing team.A new product was on its way to being launched, and I was having a meeting with the team about the marketing strategy. It was slightly different from our usual products, so I wanted to hear every possible angle before we made a final decision.“Since this is slightly different from the usual, I would suggest...” he began.My phone suddenly started ringing, cutting him off. I held up a hand to silence him.“Excuse me,” I said as I answered the call.Kane was the caller, and I knew he would not call me for no reason, especially not during working hours.“Alpha...” he said breathlessly, his tone filled with panic.I leapt to my feet immediately, grabbed my tablet, and stormed out of the meeting room without even verbally announcing that the meeting was over. The sudden fear in his voice was enough to send my heart racing.“What happened?” I groaned, alr

  • Revenge, Best Served in Codes   233| Beach House.

    RHONDAThankfully, the security at the pack’s gate didn’t attempt to stop me. They didn’t know I was running away, though.I drove at high speed, and once I was far away from the pack, I pulled over, got out of the car, and carried Leo with me. We needed to change cars, or else they would be able to track us with that particular car.“Mommy, where are we going? What’s happening?” Leo asked, his voice filled with worry.“We are going to a friend’s place, darling. We will spend some time there before returning to Grandpa and Grandma,” I told him, trying to sound as calm as possible.“Where is that?” he asked curiously.“It’s a beach house. You will love it,” I muttered as I hailed a taxi.After it stopped, we hopped in, and I asked the driver to take us to a particular restaurant. When we got there, we walked a little distance before taking another taxi. I didn’t want Malcolm tracing us successfully.I showed the taxi driver the address Amos had sent to me.We would have to take a ferry

    RHONDAMy chest tightened painfully.My lungs felt compressed, and I could barely breathe. I shook my head in denial, hoping this was not real. Hoping Malcolm had not really slept with his cousin. Hoping there was some explanation that would make everything disappear.But no matter how much I tried to deny it, the video was real.It was not AI-generated.Although it had happened before we rekindled our love, the fact still remained that he had hidden such information from me. And omission was lying. Keeping something like that from me was lying. I felt utterly betrayed, and I knew I could never see him the same way again.Just then, my phone rang, and his name flashed across the screen.Malcolm.My heart clenched painfully at the sight of his name. For a second, I just stared at the screen, unable to move, unable to breathe properly. Then anger rushed through me like fire.I furiously rejected the call, switched off my phone, and slammed it on the desk.A satisfied smirk curled on Emm

    MALCOLMLast night, I couldn’t sleep, thinking about everything that happened with Rhonda. The thought of losing her made my chest tighten so much that I could barely breathe. I had tried calling her so many times, but her phone was switched off.So, I went to her place in search of her, only to be

    RHONDAThe rage burning through him brought a sense of satisfaction, and I decided to spite him even more.“Hm, Christian,” I leaned in and winked at the man before me. “You look so handsome and strong.”“What... what...” he stammered, my words taking him aback. Then a smile spread across his lips.
