MasukMALCOLMRage blasted through my entire being as I returned my attention to the woman in the cell.“Who are you working for?” I growled as I grabbed her neck and lifted her with it, pinning her against the wall. Her injured legs dangled as she winced in pain.“Who do you work for?” I repeated. “Who hired you?”I knew for sure that there was more to this. She and Julian weren’t alone in this.“Who hired me?” she smirked. “Alpha, are you underestimating me? Do you think I cannot carry out such an act alone?”She fucking thought this was a joke.My eyes turned red with anger. I applied pressure to her neck. Now, raw fear flicked through her eyes.She tapped my hand desperately, begging to be released, but I didn’t even budge. I kept staring at her, making sure that her face had started turning blue before I released my grip. She crumpled to the floor.She coughed repeatedly and gasped for breath.I crouched before her, and I could tell my eyes had turned to their darkest shade.“Who. Hire
RHONDAMalcolm followed me immediately, shock written all over his face.“Now, that’s the first time I am hearing that. Care to share more details?” he asked as we both walked down to the elevator and stepped inside.“I also had no idea I was going to say that today. It’s just an idea I had been thinking about. And since I had nothing else to say to the press, I had to talk about that,” I told him.“So... how do you intend to go about it?”“Do you want the truth? I am not sure about it yet. But I had a few ideas. I’ll share them with...” before I could complete the statement, he pushed me against the elevator wall, planting his palm over my head. He leaned in and placed a soft kiss on my neck.“You are a genius, baby. And I am so fucking proud of you,” his lips moved to my cheek, “I am sure you’ll execute this idea perfectly. I love you so much.”“I love you too,” our eyes met and I stepped on my tiptoes, crashing my lips against his.He let out guttural sounds as he wrapped his arm t
RHONDA“So, do I dismiss the press conference?” I asked Malcolm, and he quickly shook his head.“No. That’ll hint that we are onto him, and he’ll release the footage. We have to delay until my team actually get him. Victor and Kane are there with them. They are very good,” Malcolm told me.“Okay then. But I have to tell them something. I cannot keep delaying.”Just then, Sloane emerged from the room, her heels clicking against the floor.Perfect timing.There was a concerned look on her face as she approached. “Has there been any problem, Madam CEO?” she asked.“Sloane,” I swallowed, “there’s something I urgently have to attend to. But I don’t want to keep the audience waiting without giving them anything. Can you please tell them that I encountered some emergency and it would take time? I would be with them as soon as I can.”“What...” her eyes narrowed, “type of emergency?”“I’ll let you know once I am done. But I really need to attend to something,” I held her shoulder and prompted
RHONDAMalcolm closed the distance between us once he noticed that the call had ended. He was still on the phone though.“Did they get something?” I asked him.“They are still on it,” he responded, before talking into the phone, “keep me updated, okay?”The moment the call ended, he wrapped his arms around me and rubbed my back soothingly, “we’ll find them. I promise you.”I nodded against his chest, “thank you for standing by me always.”“I had asked you to stop thanking me. We are both in this together. It is both of our sex tape out there,” he exhaled, “even if it was only yours, I would still fight for you.”Pulling away from the hug, he placed his hands on my shoulders, “I will always protect you. I love you so much, Rhonda. So very much.”“I love you too,” I said from the bottom of my heart. We entered the building afterwards, taking a private elevator to my office’s floor to avoid the reporters that were already lurking around.While we were there, waiting for the press confere
RHONDAThe blackmailer won. It was fourty minutes to the deadline they gave, and we still hadn’t been able to trace whoever sent the follow-up text. Malcolm was on his way to me now. He was right, the only probable solution was to give in until we found the motherfuckers.With a heavy chest, I went to my grandparents’ room to inform them. They were still cuddled up on the bed when I got there.They were in shock after I narrated everything to them. They were both seated at the edge of the bed now. Grandpa was dressed in a robe while Grandma wore a silk night dress. Despite her age, she still bodied the silk.“If I had known that he was such a dangerous person, I would’ve fired him before you joined the company,” Grandpa said, his voice filled with regret.“It’s not your fault, Grandpa. It really isn’t,” I told him.“My baby,” Grandma pushed off the bed and approached me, wrapping her arms around me.I didn’t know how much I needed a hug until she gave me one. I wrapped my arms tightly
MALCOLMDressed in my black suit set, white dress shirt, black shoes, and silver wristwatch, and ready for work, I heard a knock on my door.“Who is there?” I called.“Brother!” Emma’s voice beamed from the other end of the door. A frown immediately claimed my face. I had asked her to leave the pack. For now, at least. She had been really bratty about Rhonda, which came as a surprise to me, because the Emma that I knew had always been a sweet girl. Which was why I sent her away to clear her head before returning.I picked up my briefcase and walked to the door, opening it.“I thought I asked you to leave.”“I left, but I am back,” a wide smile spread across her lips.A low grunt escaped me, “what are you doing here?”She blinked, “do you really not want to see me anymore? Do you hate me now? Because of her?”“I don’t know what ever issues you have with Rhonda, but you have to get past it. She’s here to stay,” I groaned as I walked past her.“Brother,” she whined as she followed me.Sh
THEODOREA highly anticipated notification popped on my phone’s screen within an hour. The very talented Seven had fixed the problem and given me back the project I thought I had lost.Relief flooded through me, and a wide grin spread across my face. “Yes!” I exclaimed, making a power gesture. “Yes
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
RHONDAI hadn’t even given Theodore my consent when he burst into my room, reeking of Layla as usual.Quickly, I snapped my laptop shut.His eyes narrowed with suspicion as he ventured further into the room.I had been seated on the black sofa tucked into one corner of the room, focused on building
RHONDA“Mother!” I screamed as I rushed forward, my knees hitting the floor as my hands trembled violently. I gathered the scattered ashes with shaking fingers, my chest tightening painfully as grief and rage crashed into me all at once.“Oops,” Layla said lightly behind me, her voice laced with fa
