LOGINRHONDAI frowned slightly, tightening my hold on the office phone. “Who is it?”There was a brief pause before Elene answered, “Alpha Malcolm, ma’am.”Heat rushed to my cheeks at the mention of his name, but I quickly regained my composure, realizing Julian was still there.I cleared my throat and tried to sound normal. “Send someone to escort him up.”“Yes, ma’am.”The line went dead, and I slowly placed the receiver back in its cradle.That man would never cease to amaze me.Julian, who was still standing across from me, raised a brow ever so slightly.I cleared my throat again. “I have a visitor coming up. But let’s quickly review this.”I pulled out a file from my bag and handed it to him.He was seated on one of the beige chairs opposite the large desk, while I stood beside him, my back against the desk.“What’s this?” he asked as he flipped the file open.“There are discrepancies here. The projected operational costs and the recorded releases don’t align properly. At first, I th
RHONDAHeat rushed to my cheeks the instant I read Malcolm’s text.My traitorous body reacted before my brain could even catch up, and I quickly locked my phone, clearing my throat as I set it face down on the table.Focus, Rhonda.I was in the middle of my first meeting as CEO. I could not afford to start blushing and smiling like some lovestruck teenager because Malcolm wanted to bend me over his desk.Though, God help me, the image was already planted firmly in my head.I straightened in my seat and forced my expression into something neutral and unreadable.“Now,” I said, folding my hands on the table as though my man had not just texted me the filthiest thing imaginable, “where were we?”No one answered immediately.Of course they didn’t.The atmosphere in the room was still thick from Blake’s dramatic exit. Most of them looked tense, careful, almost frightened. A few avoided my gaze entirely, while others sat straighter than before, as though trying their best to appear invisibl
RHONDAI was curious, wondering what Grandpa so urgently wanted to discuss with me. Sitting down, I crossed my legs and paid total attention to him.He sighed. “Theodore has been seriously disturbing you.”It wasn’t a question.I pressed my lips together and nodded. But how did he know? I never mentioned it to him.“He harassed you and Malcolm again tonight, and he’s in the police station. Although he has been released on bail, and...”“What?!” I exclaimed, widening my eyes in perplexity.“Yes,” Grandpa nodded. “One of the police officers informed me about what happened. I have contact with a few of them.”He was influential, so I wasn’t surprised.That motherfucker deserved to rot in jail. I knew he would be released eventually, but I never expected it to be this soon. I wanted him to spend tonight behind bars at least.“You should get a restraining order against him,” Grandpa continued. “He’ll keep coming to you and harassing you if you don’t.” His jaw ticked. “He messed up and stil
RHONDA“Are you okay? Are you sure you don’t want to go to the hospital to get checked up just in case?” I asked Malcolm as we approached the car. His Alpha blood had healed the bruises, leaving traces of dried blood in its wake.“I am fine, Ro. They barely touched me,” he tightened his arm around my waist and pulled me even closer. “Are you good?”I nodded.The ride to my grandparents’ manor was a silent one, with my head peeking out the window, allowing the cool air to blow over my face. Once we arrived and he parked in the driveway, I finally turned my attention to him, feeling apologetic.“I am sorry that I always put you in this position,” I told him with all sincerity. “You do not deser...”“Shhhh...” his index finger pressed to my lips, shutting me up. Then he slowly leaned forward and jammed his lips against mine. “Do not ever apologize over that again.”I wrapped my arms around his neck, reciprocating the sweet, gentle kiss. My pussy throbbed, and I could feel how wet I was a
RHONDAAfter the police drove off, I immediately jumped into the car and followed them. We arrived at the station, and Malcolm was led to where he would write his statement. Malcolm and Theodore sat on opposite sides of the room, each with a police officer, writing their statements.I stood in one corner, my arms wrapped tightly around myself while I waited for Malcolm. My gaze never left him.His sleeves were rolled up, his knuckles bruised and slightly swollen. There was dried blood on the side of his hand, and I didn’t know if it was his or theirs.My chest tightened. He had fought like hell out there. For me. I hated that he always got into such situations because of me. I regretted the day I ever met Theodore. We should have never happened.“Are you okay?” Malcolm asked through the mind-link as he glanced at me.“Are you serious right now?” I asked, guilt ripping through my chest. “I should be the one asking you that.”“I am fine. Stop worrying.” He returned his gaze to the polic
MALCOLMRhonda quickly grabbed my arm and tried to pull me with her. “Malcolm, I think we should leave here,” she said, her tone panicky.“No,” I shook my head. I wasn’t a weakling who would run away at the sight of a threat. I would stay and fight like a man. Like the Alpha that I was. “Get inside the car, Ro.”Before she could respond, the first man lunged at me, but I caught his arm mid-air and twisted it hard. A sickening crack followed, and his scream ripped through the night. I didn’t stop. My fist connected with his jaw, sending him crashing to the ground.The second came from behind.I spun just in time, his punch hitting my shoulder instead of my face. Pain shot through me, but I ignored it. I grabbed him by the collar and slammed him against the car.The other two came at me at once, and I simultaneously grabbed them by their collars, slamming their heads on the hood of the car.All four of them got up and came at me again.“Stop it. You all. Please!” Rhonda screamed as she
RHONDAThe kiss was slow and deliberate as we smothered our lips against each other. The way his touch made my body spark with fire was not a feeling I had ever experienced before.I wanted him. All of him.As the kiss intensified, a knock suddenly sounded on the door.Malcolm wanted to ignore it,
MALCOLMI stood frozen for a second, shocked at her words. She felt the same way?“You feel the same way?” I repeated to confirm I heard right.She nodded. “I feel the same. I was afraid of getting heartbroken again, that’s why I had been withdrawing.”“I could never break your heart, Rhonda,” I pr
RHONDAI was confused, wondering what the hell had just happened. I had no knife on me and couldn’t have subconsciously stabbed her. The crazy girl stabbed herself to frame me.She continued writhing on the floor, screaming for help.I ran back to my car and grabbed my phone, calling 911.They resp
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.
