Lacy's POV

"Did you just call me a slut?" I say to her, noticing she doesn't seem remorseful.

She thrashes in my hold, trying to pry my fingers off her hair, but I don't budge. "Let me go," she hisses, but I can see fear in her eyes.

The fear I see in her eyes should be satisfying, but it's not. After everything I've endured in this godforsaken house. The whispers, the sneers, the way they look at me like I'm not worth living just because I am a human.

I am tired of it all, what did I ever do

    ZELLA'S POV Tamara stood up on seeing me as if a chairwoman of a group had walked in. She approached with slow steps like her shoes were filled with cement. She stood before me, counting her fingers and looking down, like some shy girl.“You came,” she said with a hoarse voice, forcing a smile. If this was a performance, she’s definitely killing it.“You said it was important. So… Make it quick.”She took a deep breath and continued. “Okay. Look. My family… we're in trouble. Big trouble, because of what I did to you.”I raised an eyebrow. "What did you do to me?”“Yeah. The… the guys. Eric and his crew. I hired them to scare you, rough you up, and maybe take some… pictures.” She couldn't look at me when she said that last part. She just kept looking down and caressing her fingers. “I was stupid and jealous. I thought Dave liked you for real, and I… I lost it.”I just sat there and listened like it was news to me. Let her sweat it.“But it backfired,” she whispered. “They couldn't bea

  • The Lycan's Gold Digger Wife    WRONG ANSWERS RIGHT MOVE

    ZELLA'S POVThe exam hall was hot and tense from fear and anxiety. I sat quietly in my assigned seat, number 234, and stared at the blank answer sheet. A hundred questions. Four hours.The supervisor, Mr. Henderson, had a face like a bloodhound. He paced between the aisles, his eyes trying to catch everything. “This is a test of your futures,” he added, uselessly, like we didn’t already know. “Integrity is paramount. Any sign of collaboration, any wandering eyes, and you’re out. Your test will be canceled.”Ben, two rows over, kept giving me looks me a look that screamed ‘help’. Chloe was already sweating, her pencil shaking. They’d positioned themselves around me like satellites hoping to catch a signal.Tough luck, I thought. The signal’s going dark.The booklet landed on my desk softly and I opened it. The answers flashed in my eyes even clearer than the questions themselves, the problem was not answering correctly in this case for me, it was adjusting my instincts to go for only t

  • The Lycan's Gold Digger Wife    NO GOOD DEED

    Zella’s POV The guy with Marla’s card waved at me with the card, smiling from ear to ear like he had just won a national contest. “Who are you?” I asked again, from a safe distance. My hand tightened around my new phone box. “Just a guy who hates bullies,” he confirmed, his voice being very low so only I could hear. He nodded towards the commotion still going on at the counter, where Marla was now trying to explain to a stone-faced security guard that she’d been pickpocketed. “Saw her blocking you… Being all bitchy about it and stuff. So I decided to lift the card and have a little fun. Thought you might get a kick out of it. Here you go; you can have it. I’m not a thief, just a guy who hates to see someone else suffer injustice.” He brought out the card, holding it between two fingers. A shiny platinum thing. Obviously Lizzie’s money. “Why are you giving it to me?” He shrugged. “Like I said. Bullies. You looked like you could handle yourself, but she needed to be taught a les

  • The Lycan's Gold Digger Wife    THE ONLY ALLY LEFT

    Tamara's POV The silence in my father's study after my confession wasn't just due to our brainstorming; it was suffocating. A strong door had just shut on our future. My father, John Stirling, whose name opened doors and made markets shake, looked… helpless. The revelation about how much I'd just messed up had not given him a strategic edge. We were already on the edge of a cliff; the meeting with the Crowns was supposed to bring us to safety, but instead I ended up handing our enemy a rod to push us off. “You don’t understand, Tamara.” Mother said finally. “While it is true that we reached an agreement with the Crowns to keep this under wraps, it puts us indefinitely at their mercy. It’s impossible to not notice the grin on Lucy Crown’s face. With this information, they could bring us down at any time. Legally, politically, and ultimately in the business world, we’ll be ruined. Completely!” Father responded eventually. “If Dave chooses to, he can just go to the other families—

  • The Lycan's Gold Digger Wife    THE LEASH AND THE LEASH-HOLDER

    Tamara's POV My mind suddenly went blank. The words Dave had just spoken—”You’re wasting my time. I’m talking about Zella”—I couldn’t begin to imagine what exactly he meant. My mind drifted to countless places trying to come up with a context. So I did what I’ve been trained to do when backed into a corner. I feigned confusion. A delicate frown formed on my face. “Dave… what are you talking about? I didn’t do anyth-” “Cut the shit, Tamara. The act is pathetic. I know about the thugs. Eric and his little crew from the east side docks. I know you paid them to ‘scare’ her. To rough her up. Maybe worse.” The floor beneath my silver heels didn’t just feel unsteady; it felt like it had vanished as I staggered, trying to keep my balance. The cold shivers I’d felt since that alley returned with a vengeance, crawling up my spine. How? How? I’d been so careful. I paid in cash, making sure it was untraceable. “You have your underground info network, I get that, but you don’t know everything

  • The Lycan's Gold Digger Wife    PERFECT ON THE SURFACE

    TAMARA’S POV Everything felt different after my encounter with Eric and his little rats. It wasn’t just the shame that settled in my head and crawled on my skin occasionally sending me cold shivers. It was also the silence that followed. Before, my phone would have buzzed a hundred times with countless notifications and calls. But now it has become a cold dead brick just lying there. The only notifications I got were from unknown numbers. “Silence has its own rewards.” There it is…my leash… the pictures could be anywhere. On their phones, in the cloud, literally anywhere, ready to ruin my life at the first light of day it sees. I moved through the house like a ghost, everything made me jump. The sound of a plate being set down a little too hard, my own reflection on the windows, and the trigger of every camera flash or shutter sound. Amidst all these, if there’s something I didn’t feel, it’s regret. I didn’t feel the slightest regret. If I feel anything towards her now it’s even
