"Alpha, what's wrong? What happened?" Victoria ran into the room trying to calm Alexander down.
"Get out! Get the fuck out of my room right now?"
She jerked in fear as he yelled at her. He had never been this way for a long time now so what happened. What was making him flare up. She gave a worried look, not wanting to leave the room, but the very moment he turned and sneered angrily at her, she hurried out of the room.
"I'm sorry."
Victoria stood at the door listening to him destroy things in the room. She was worried sick because only one thing was capable of making Alexander like this and it was Melissa.
Why on earth did he have to remember her again?
She rushed down the stairs to go get Killian, Alexander beta and best friend. Only Killian would be able to calm him down.
Killian was certainly with a lady flirting around, so she knew where exactly to find him. She rushed towards him panicking.
"Killian, it's Alexander…. He's going crazy." Victoria yelled.
Killian arched his brows. "What's going on?"
"I don't know, just hurry up please."
In a hurry, Killian left the lady he was with and began running towards the mansion. Climbing two stairs all at once, he rushed to Alexander's room to find it locked.
"Alpha, open the door please!" Killian begged as all he could hear was Alex destroying so many things. "What happened to him?" He questioned Victoria as he came up the stairs. He never really liked her one bit since the moment she stepped into the pack four years ago, but he kept it to himself and never said a word about it since she always acted innocent.
"I have no idea. I met him this way."
"Step back, I'm gonna break the door open." Killian said.
Victoria immediately did as instructed, shutting her eyes, and the next minute, there was a loud bang on the door making it fall down to the floor.
"Don't fucking come in." He said as she tried to take a step into the room. She nodded her head and stepped even farther away.
"Alpha, what's wrong?"
Alexander was seated on his bed. His room was a total mess from breaking so many things in the room. Killian looked down and found a portrait of Melissa on the floor which was broken. He was shocked that he still had a photo of her somewhere in the room.
"Say something."
"I fucking know it's her. It's Melissa. The taste of the food said it all." Alex repeatedly said, making Killian even more worried. He clutched his hands into fist.
"She doesn't deserve to smile or even be happy after fucking ruining my life. I can't be the only one suffering."
It surprised Killian. "What makes you think she isn't suffering as well."
"From her voice, I was certain she didn't even recall me. She forgot about what she did and decided to move on knowing what she cost me."
Killian only knew it was hurting Alex because it seemed he was the only one who remembered Melissa. For three years after he Rejected Melissa, he never forgot about her.
"You Rejected her yourself, alpha."
"Because she fucking cheated on me. She fucking made a fool out of me and the love I had for her. She humiliated me and didn't hide the fact that she cheated on me. She could have hidden it forever." Alexander replied, with eyes turning bloody red.
"What are you gonna do now? How certain are you that it was Melissa."
"Melissa Kim. I'd recall that name even in my dream. She said her name when I asked her, but before the contest ended, she was gone and was nowhere to be found. If she isn't Melissa then why the hell would she run?"
"I won't let her get away after ruining my life, I'm gonna make sure she never becomes happy."
Killian was certain Alex wasn't in his right senses. "The rejection was enough. Don't…"
Before Killian could complete his statement, Alex rose up on his feet.
"And you're gonna help me." He said, and started walking out of the room.
As soon as he got to the living room, he picked his phone from his pocket. Since he was one of the important judges in the contest, he was able to reach out to other judges, and finally the lady who was in charge.
"Mr Alex, how may I help you."
"The judges submitted the results right?"
"Everything has been submitted to me."
"Great. So tell me, who won?"
"Sir, I don't think…, I mean it's personal and…"
"I'm just curious, don't you think you're not in the position to tell me that cause I know something that the world shouldn't."
She immediately gulped down when she heard it. Of course Alexander Zavier was so powerful and he could do anything to her with the snap of his finger.
"I'm so sorry, pl.."
"Just say it." He commanded angrily which made her shiver in fright.
"It's Miss Melissa Kim. The winner is Miss Melissa Kim."
Alexander's eyes turned bloody red hearing Melissa's name. She must be a proud lady if she knew.
"After the winner is announced, set up a secret meeting with her and call me immediately. Keep this a secret." He instructed and ended the call immediately.
"I'll fucking make your life miserable" Alexander said in anger before walking back into the house.
Melissa stayed in her room all day which got Kristen really worried. All he wanted from her was a simple explanation why she was acting this way.Once again, he rasped a knock on her door and opened it. "Melissa, you okay?""Yeah, I'm fine." Melissa tried as hard as possible not to look towards his direction. She didn't want him to know she was crying because it would certainly make him ask what was wrong."I think Mia needs you.""I'll be down in a minute." She responded waiting for him to leave the room.Once the door closed, Melissa heaved deeply. Why now? Why does Alex have to show his face now? She suddenly recalled the day he had Rejected her. What she had gone through with her pregnancy because she was unable to forget him. She was never going to forgive him and she would keep repeating it to herself.Melissa wasn't scared for herself, instead, she was scared for her baby. Alex might make her baby's life miserable if he found out because he would believe the child from her supp
Melissa stood, her hands glued to her side as she stared at Alex.Silence ensued as they stared at each other.Looking at his jet-black hair and those lovely eyes that she once adored, Melissa felt repulsed.She couldn't guess why but the memories of the last three years came rushing into her mind and she could remember it as though it happened the day before.She could remember how he had mercilessly stabbed her in the heart by rejecting her and how hard she had cried under the rain of that cold and dark night.Strangely enough, the memories were even more painful than she had imagined. It would have been a different kind of pain if Alex wasn't there, but right there, he was seated - the cause of her pain and sorrow."How long has it been Melissa, three, four, five years?" He demonstrated with his fingers.Somehow Melissa felt disappointed. How could he not remember how many years it had been that he rejected her?But it sure meant one thing and she was happy about it. He didn't have
Melissa came home with a heavy heart and a fallen countenance.Kristen wondered what was wrong with her as she briskly walked past him, her fingers tightly pressed against her lips.He covered Mia's ears as Melissa banged the door the moment she walked into the room and the door was behind her.Kristen rocked Mia in his arms as he looked toward the direction of Melissa's room, afraid that the little girl would wake up because of the noise.For the past three years that he lived with Melissa, she had never come home with such a temper so fierce that she didn't bother requesting to see her daughter.He glanced at the door to her room and made to walk towards her room but restrained himself.He hugged a sleeping Mia close to his chest, hoping that giving Melissa her space would work this time.But one thing worried him, he had a burden of care in his heart that he couldn't put off no matter how hard he tried.With unease, he dipped his hand into his pants pocket and pulled out his phone.
Alex restlessly walked back and forth in his office, his hands crossed behind his back.He brushed back his hair with his fingers, his mind occupied with the thoughts of Melissa.Somehow he wanted to protect her and her daughter - he wanted to be greatly involved in their lives.Ever since Melissa moved in with him, it became more like her life was merged with his. And now that she was sad, he was greatly worried.It was more like he was designed to make her happy and smile.He placed his palm on his face. Thinking about Melissa had completely disoriented him.What made him worried the most was that Melissa had not come out of her room since the day before and no matter how hard he tried to make her she refused.Kristen could remember that he dismissed Karl the other time because a business came up. He thought she would overcome her mood in no time but she had been indoors since yesterday and it was giving him the chills - for one, he didn't want anything happening to her and at the sa
Kristen got out of his car, handed his suitcase to his assistant who willfully collected it, and started walking into the company.As he walked, he looked just like the perfect example of a business tycoon who had walked out of the cover of the page of a business magazine.As he walked toward the elevator that led to his office, he returned the greetings of his employees with a wave of the hand and without as much as a smile.Everyone in the office knew that that was his way of greeting.Walking into the elevator, he adjusted his suit and stood with his legs a bit apart.He pressed the number of the floor the elevator stopped.Immediately the elevator dinged, he came out with an elegant step and went into his office, and sat down."What are my appointments for today?" He asked his personal assistant."You have to meet with the Blue Moon Company in an hour now.And you have three other meetings before…"Kristen stopped listening at this point as his mind went through a train of thoughts
The next day, Kristen was ready for work. He pinned his wristwatch, took his briefcase, and left his room.He walked down the stairs and went to the kitchen."I smell something nice, preparing breakfast?""You'll grab a bite before you go," Melissa said and turned to smile at him."I'm sorry to disappoint but I'll have to have breakfast at the office or I will be late if I do that here. I'll be back for dinner, I promise."Kristen had to hurry back up to his room and search for his car key. After he was done searching for the key there, he moved over to his study to look for his car key.He was looking for the key to his Lamborghini as it was the car he decided to use today."Oh, the key, I…I gave it to Melissa." He muttered, placing his palm on his face.He immediately went to the dining table and there was Melissa. She was already done with cooking and perhaps preparing Mia to go to school."Here, please make sure she eats at lunch."Melissa handed Mia's lunchbox to Ellen, her nanny
Chapter 11Melissa feverishly bit her lips.Right now she was in between the devil and the deep blue sea, there was no going back."Yeah." She managed to put up a nervous smile.If wishes were horses, she wished that the earth should open so she could hide in there because her secret that she had been hiding was about to be exposed sooner or later.Right now, she didn't know what to do with the awkward situation staring at her in the face.As she started walking toward them, her legs felt heavy against the floor but she managed, nervously swallowing the lump in her throat."You two know each other?" Kristen asked and Melissa held tight to the hem of her gown.She imagined him saying something like "She's my ex mate…girlfriend and she cheated on me."But he said, "I organized the Sea View cooking competition, remember. I know her 'cause she's the winner.""Oh." Kristen nodded in understanding as he turned to look at Melissa in admiration."Nice to meet you again, Ms Melissa." Alex sha
In a shopping mall, Victoria pushed the trolley as she walked but with each step she took, she tightened her grip around the handheld area of the trolley.She was so angry, even her veins popped out.Seeing this, her friend couldn't help but talk about it."Can you stop it with this mood of yours already. Seriously, whenever you're in this mood, you should be feared.""Have you ever had something so dear to you snatched from you? Do you know how terrifying it is to know that something is not going to be yours the next minute?" Victoria asked. Her voice was so full of emotion, she felt so pissed, she wanted to cry.How was she supposed to feel after seeing what happened yesterday?Yesterday she had gone to Alexander's office to check on him. To see if he was going to listen to her.She had wanted to talk to him about their wedding. The earlier it happened, the better.If at all she succeeded in getting him to marry her, then she didn't need to struggle for Alex with Melissa.On gettin
