SAELA.I watched Torren go after her while the other man who had come for her just stared at me like I was some useless and worthless person.It suddenly all dawned on me that I was losing Torren.I was losing him again to that wench.That made me shift uncomfortably, I couldn't afford him leaving my life for now.He was helpful and I wasn't done with what I could get from him.It all suddenly started piecing together, the way he suddenly started avoiding I and Asher as soon as she got back into Veloria.The way he had never tried to get sexual with me even after she left.Shit! He was still in love with her, he was just living in denial and if I didn't act fast enough, he would slip right out of my finger.“It's a good thing you just saw that. Eryn changes men like they're rags.” I pointed out to the man, Vale she had called him? His attention wasn't on me.It was on Eryn as she walked away with Torren behind her.I have to ask though: Where the hell does she meet these good looking
Eryn"I'm never going to do anything right in your sight, right?" I asked, staring at my cracked screen on the wet pavement. The image, the only proof I had was gone, Just like that. Just like every damn thing I ever tried to fix."You're never going to see reason and you're always going to pick her side!" My voice cracked as I yelled, barely audible over the sound of the rain that had started hitting the ground. When did it even start raining? I looked up at the sky, the cloud had darkened. I have no idea how I'd get home today.The wind slapped against my cheeks, mixing with the tears I didn't even bother to hide anymore.He swallowed hard as his jaw tightened."Just stop it. You're the one hanging around with men like it's some kind of trophy. I'm only asking you to stop dragging Saela into everything you do." I blinked, slowly, the corner of my lips twisting into a smile.“Dragging her?” My voice came out so low I wasn’t sure he heard me. My fingers curled into fists."You’re s
ERYN“Vale.” I whispered and looked down at his hand placement. He quickly detached and just stared at Saela.How did he know I was here? Question for another time.“Wow, Eryn. You're quite the lady. In just a space of 2-3 weeks, you've been flaunting men around? What happened to the last one?” Saela taunted and Vale looked back at me.Damn! He better not think I'm promiscuous with the way this bitch is making it seem.“Are you okay?” He queried and I nodded, arranging my hair.He looked back at the crowd, the murmurs had reduced significantly and they were all just looking now.“I'm fine.” I adjusted my dress again.“Don't ignore me,” Saela snapped and turned to Vale, “Do you even know who she is? The Alpha's ex, that's who she is. She must be playing you as well. She's known for that.”“And she was stalking me, I'm not sure you want to get involved with someone like that.” She continued.How do I explain to Dr Vale that I was only stalking Saela because of a hunch I had?At least I
ERYN I felt anger coursing through my veins as I got out my phone from my purse and took a few pictures.Oh, the disappointment on Torren's face when he sees this would be a satisfying thing to watch.After a few minutes of their little consensual escapade, she got into a car and left while the man got into another car as well.I was still scared of Ubers, sure. But I'm definitely not passing this up.Something was up and I needed to find out what.I immediately booked an Uber and after about 3 minutes of waiting, the Uber pulled up.Before getting in, I took a picture of the license plate and then made sure that the car was exactly what was described on the app.Also, I confirmed the driver's picture.One can't be too careful these days, it has happened once, I wouldn't be too sloppy to let it happen again.I got into the car and he sped off.“See that car? Follow it.” I ordered and he looked confused at first.“That wasn't…the desti—”“I'll pay you extra for your troubles but do no
ERYN“Doctor Vale?” I called as we both walked back to his office. I was still slightly embarrassed, I had just spilled coffee all over my employer and now he was walking around, with a coffee stained white shirt.Laneview. Saela.I pushed the thoughts to the back of my head but they kept bugging.“Earlier, you asked if I was okay right?” We were almost at his office.He stopped in his tracks and swivelled to meet my eyes. After a few seconds of staring, he just shrugged.“Yes, I did ask. Why?” I gulped, not knowing if the path I was threading was going to yield any good but I continued anyway.“Why? You usually don't ask.” He had pushed the office door open now and pulled open his drawer, picking out a new shirt. “It takes a blind person not to know. You're clearly not okay. Your work has also been lagging behind today.” He commented, taking out the shirt from its packaging.Why does he have another crisp ironed looking shirt in the office? Is it normal for ladies to spill coffee o
TORREN“Why are you crying?” I asked, staring at his teary face, while he tried to climb out of my lap, “Why are you crying instead of answering? Is there something I should know?” I snapped.I was losing my cool and the tears were not doing a good job in making me hold off my anger.“Asher, answer me.” I urged.Hurried footsteps came rushing down the steps as Asher's cries grew louder and hysterical as Saela approached.“Asher.” I called out as she ran down and grabbed him into her arms.“Torren, what are you doing?” She shot me an accusing glance and I gritted my teeth, shoving my hands into my pockets.“Saela…i—”“You've never hurt Asher before and now you're making him cry? What could he possibly have done?” She asked.Her jaw was clenched and she was glaring at me, like I had done the unthinkable.I played with my fingers inside of my pocket trying to keep my cool.“Exactly. When have I ever hurt him? I was just asking him a couple of questions.” I lowered my voice as Saela used
