LAYLA

Whoever that person was, I wasn’t going there to negotiate. The following morning, I started counting down to 10 p.m. the moment I woke up. Everything had just been annoying me to the bone from the moment I woke up. Rhonda returned to the pack house with Leo that amorning.

Theodore had been with Leo ever since, so he hadn’t had time to continue questioning me. Those people who were blackmailing me wanted me to kill Rhonda. I had every intention to kill her and Leo. Because as long as they

RHONDAOne month later...Malcolm and I had since reconciled.What was the point of continuing to brood over what had happened when I knew it wasn’t his fault and that he had been a victim himself?Yes, he had omitted that information from me, but I had forgiven him for it.We all make mistakes, and he had sincerely apologized. I would be a fool to let go of a man who would never intentionally hurt me and who loved me more than he loved himself.“You look so amazing, baby,” Malcolm told me for the umpteenth time today as we walked into the Evergreen Company tower.I was dressed in an emerald green evening gown, accessorized with gold jewelry, matching shoes, and a gold clutch.My lips spread into a wide smile.“Thank you, baby.”“And I am so proud of you,” he added.“Thank you, baby.” I blew him an invisible kiss, which made him blush hard.“Please don’t make me have a boner in public,” he rasped dramatically.“What if that’s exactly what I want?” I teased.He rested his palm just ab

RHONDAThe next time I woke up, I was lying in a hospital bed, surrounded by white walls and humming machines.Malcolm was the first person my eyes landed on.“What happened?” I whispered weakly.“You passed out due to complications from the pregnancy.”My eyes widened immediately as they dropped to my stomach.“My baby...”“They are fine,” he muttered softly, giving my hand a gentle squeeze.My gaze snapped back to him.“They?”“Yes. One twin was hidden. We are having a baby boy and a baby girl.” The joy shining in his eyes was palpable.Twins.My lips spread into a wide smile.But a wave of sadness swept through me at the thought of my missing baby girl.“I’ll go get the doctor now,” Malcolm told me before stepping out of the room.A few moments later, he returned with a male doctor who looked to be in his early forties.After checking my vitals and asking me a few questions, he established that I was perfectly fine and fit to be discharged within a few hours.“How do you feel?” Ma

RHONDA“Who are you talking to?” I groaned as I stormed over and snatched the phone from her hand.Looking at the screen, I saw the name “Joseph.”“Who is Joseph?” I flicked my gaze toward Sofia. “And who are you telling him is still here?”“My mom’s driver,” Sofia said as she snatched her phone back from me and ended the call. “What’s wrong with you? He’s already late, and he knows Mom sometimes goes by herself when he doesn’t come early, so he wanted to know if she was still around.”Oh, damn. I had been too paranoid to realize that not everyone was after me.“Sofia,” I breathed, “I am so sorry. I was just...” I slammed my palm against my forehead. “I am so sorry. I’ll leave now.”My cheeks burned with embarrassment as I turned around and rushed out of the room. What the hell was wrong with me? Layla, Sebastian, and everyone who wanted me dead had terrorized me into thinking everyone else wanted me dead too.As I approached the stairs, a commotion broke out downstairs. I froze imme

    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

  • Revenge, Best Served in Codes   236| Pasta alla Genovese

    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

Without hesitation, he began punching him mercilessly.The

    RHONDAAfter they finally left the bedroom, I gathered the remains of my mother’s ashes and transferred them into a new home with tears in my eyes.“I am sorry, Mother, that you had to go through this. I promise to keep you somewhere safer from now henceforth,” I said with tears in my eyes as I car
