"Do you have any questions for me?" Leonard asked. "Do you want to know about me?"

Valerie shook her head. She wants to but she would rather find that out herself.

Leonard stood. "Then you have some rest. The ship will take off soon."

"You are not staying here?"

"Do you want to share a room with me?" Valerie shook her head and he smiled. "Then you have some rest."

Leonard left the cabinet, leaving Valerie alone. She went to stand beside the window staring at the sea. The s

    "Valerie has said a lot about you," Elora continued. "She doesn't get close to people or talk about them. For her to talk about you, she must like you a lot. And whoever my friend likes, I also like."Arden rolled his eyes, mimicking Elora's last sentence.He kind of likes their friendship though. They both look out for each other and let others know how much they love themselves.Leonard likes him too; he knows that. He also looks out for him but he can be so unpredictable.Today he is very nice and tomorrow he is like a totally different person.Arden sighed. He can't blame him though. Life made him so."Arden?" Ariel waved. "Come let me introduce you to my new friend, Elora."Arden moved close to them. "Hi, I am Arden, Ariel...""I know you," Elora answered. "We've met before right?""You know me?" Arden asked.Does Elora recognise him? What if Valerie cancels the wedding because of that?"You always go to the club, don't you?" Elora a

    "I think he is really looking out for you," Elora added.Valerie sighed. She doesn't even understand him. One minute he cares and the next minute he doesn't."Are you there?" Elora asked."I am. Did you say anything?""No, I did not. You weren't quiet.""I was just wondering why he acts so strangely at times. It doesn't matter though. I can't wait to see you.""I can't wait to see you too, Val," Elora answered. "I've missed you so much.""I missed you too. I..." Valerie yawned. "I am so stressed out.""You should go to sleep. I will see you tomorrow.""Good night, Elora.""Good night Val."The call ended and Valerie went to sleep.**Valerie opened her eyes; it was morning already. She sat up, stretching. Elora will be coming today and she really can't wait to see her.Valerie quickly took her bath, changed into something comfortable, and went downstairs for breakfast."You look very happy today," Ariel said."My best friend is coming over," Valerie answered. She sat down. "Leonard as

    "The wedding," Leonard answered. "How do you want the wedding to be like?""I don't think it's in my place to say that," Valerie answered. "Just do your thing and I will be present that day as the bride like I was today at the meeting.""Are you angry?" Leonard asked."I am not," Valerie answered. "Do I even have the right to be?" She mumbled. "I can tell you are.""Like it matters," she mumbled again. "If you don't have anything else to say, I might have to tell you to leave. I need to sleep."Leonard did not say anything. He stood up and walked to the door."I will see you tomorrow when you are no longer angry and ready to listen."Valerie ignored him and he had to leave. After he left, she stood up and locked the door behind him.Why does her opinion suddenly matter? Did he not treat her like it didn't at the meeting a while ago?"He's so unpredictable."Valerie walked to her bed and was about to sit when she heard a knock on the door. She groaned. "Leonard if that is you, I..."

    Arden announced to the elders that they were leaving and might be back. But if they do not return, they should go on and have fun.Valerie, Arden, and Ariel left the conference hall together and went down the hallway. After walking past the first three rooms, they stopped. Arden knocked at the door and waited. Arden knocked again when there was no reply. "Come in," they heard the Alpha's voice.Arden opened the door and they walked in. The room wasn't a conference hall but it was big. Inside the room were five men aside from Leonard; around their fifties and sixties.Valerie felt the atmosphere was different; calm, sophisticated, and powerful.In front of the men was the Alpha. They were all staring at them. Ariel and Valerie followed Arden to sit down. Valerie sat down beside Leonard and Ariel sat beside Arden. The room was quiet; so quiet that it made Valerie feel awkward.Valerie moved slightly toward Ariel who was close to her."How long...""Shh..." Ariel whispered.Valerie move

    The drive to wherever they were going was a silent one; none of them said anything to each other. The car finally stopped, and they got out. Everywhere was dark now with only the street light illuminating.Leonard moved closer to Valerie and held her by the waist, pulling her closer to him. "We need to convince them," he mumbled.Valerie frowned. Shouldn't he have held her hand instead?She said nothing to him; she did not nod either. She just followed Leonard's lead into the building. They went through the elevator and were soon in a hallway that looked like an endless tunnel.Valerie felt a shiver run down her spine. They walked down the hallway and the more they walked the more worried and scared Valerie felt. The hallway felt hotter also.Finally, they stopped in front of a room, Valerie predicted to be an office or a hall. Her prediction did not work this time; because it wasn't an office or a hall but another elevator.Why walk this long only to be in another elevator? Why can'

    Valerie nodded. "He did. That's one of the reasons he asked me to meet you... I still have some questions though. Can I ask them?" Ariel nodded. "Sure, you can." "Aren't you scared of Leonard?" "I am not. Why should I fear that troublemaker?" Valerie blinked. Ariel really isn't scared of Leonard. "But you looked scared when talking about him a while ago." Ariel smiled. "That was an act. I was a maid. I needed to act like one." Valerie nodded. She gets that. "What other questions do you have?" "Now that you are Leonard's cousin, can you tell me about him?" Valerie asked. "Is he ruthless? I asked him and he said yes." Ariel sighed. "That's because he wasn't lying about it. Don't get me wrong, Leonard is a very nice person, friendly and all that. But..." She looked at Valerie. "When he gets angry, he can be ruthless." Valerie's heart skipped a beat. If Ariel his cousin can say this about him, then he is ruthless. "But he loves..." Ariel's phone began to ring. It was Arden cal

    The loud knocking on Valerie's door woke her up from her sleep. She stood up from the bed, wondering who was knocking so loudly."Who is that?" She asked, trying to hide the anger that was evident in her voice.Valerie received no reply, which angered her more. She was certain it wasn't Diana; she

    Valerie woke up feeling energised and ready for her morning routine. Although she doesn't know what to do, she is ready for whatever task is given to her. She had taken her bath and got dressed in the only dress she had brought with her. While she waited for Diana or anybody to show up at her door

    Valerie could not stop laughing. He sounded so confident and she admired that. "Isn't your Alpha ruthless?" She asked. "How could you joke with his name so easily?" Is his reputation that bad? He wondered. "Tell me more," he said, and she furrowed her brows. "You don't know about your Alpha?" H

    "She isn't even saying anything," one of the maids snapped. "She must be guilty.""She is not," Diana insisted."Why are you even supporting her, Diana?" Bella asked A heated argument ensued between Diana and the other maids as Diana tried to defend Valerie and herself."Enough!!!" Valerie yelled.
