Once she left, I fell asleep on the couch only to wake up at a call from the Gamma I had met yesterday."Hm?" I woke up and cleared my throat, yet the only word escaping my lips was a noise."I'm sorry to bother you but I thought you might want to know about this," he said a little too anxiously, making me worried about what had happened."What happened?" I asked, rubbing my eyes and yawning a bit."Remember you have asked me to give you a report on the old files of the border control employees? I couldn't find it. It seems to have gone missing," As he mumbled those words, I felt like somebody stole the world from under my feet."What do you mean by it is missing?" I sat straight now that it had come down to the security of the pack."I can't find it anywhere," he said again, wondering where it went."But that file holds very private information," I sighed in worry, getting up on my feet and packing back and forth."I know.

Roxanne’s POV: I couldn’t be happier; this day had finally arrived when I have gotten everything on a right track. I was driving the car and humming, going back home to my husband and my daughter when mom called for a meetup. I was craving to go back and talk to Silas but this mother couldn’t stop bothering me. “Hm?” I walked inside the café and reached my mother’s table. She was sitting there with glasses on and acting all in disguise. “What is it?” I slammed my handbag on the table and flopped down in frustration. Is she always going to annoy me whenever I want to celebrate my victory with my child?“Roxanne! Sweetie, I wanted to come here and congratulate you personally on this big achievement,” she smiled sweetly as she showed her fake white teeth to me.“Thank you, does that mean I can leave now?” I raised my brow, feeling exhaust

Roxanne's POV:It's been a few days and Silas hadn't gotten over Octavia yet. He would sneak out at the odd hours of the night to take a ride along while taking his sleeping daughter with him. He was getting more aggressive with every passing day, but getting protective towards Hope like somebody was out there to snatch her away from him. I was beginning to feel like the day of him getting over Octavia wouldn't come. His obsession with her has begun to annoy me. It would only work now that the mate bond between them gets broken. "Hey, how was your day?" I knelt down to gently caress Hope's cheeks. She had just returned from school, Silas was still holding her bag. "I miss mommy!" she murmured with her head down. She hadn't been communicating a lot with me, which had left me angered at times. I was trying to be very patient with her but her constant crying for her mother was beginning to get on my nerves. Since I knew Silas was watch

Roxanne's POV:I have reached home at midnight and was welcomed by my mother at the doorstep.“Take her stuff back to her room,” mother ordered the guards, eyeing them to not delay. I had been holding my tears in for hours ever since I sat down in the car but once I had to step back into my house, I felt back to being zero.“It is all over?” I asked my mom in tears, rushing in her arms to cry on her chest. I was a loser to achieve everything and then lose it.“It is not. You still have one last plan, the plan we worked on all these years,” My mother patted my back to comfort me. “It was bound to happen. I cannot believe you have ruined your daughter’s life like that,” father has heard about my arrival and even when he was a little late to receive me at the door, he made sure the first thing he does is to taunt mother. I broke the hug and looked his way with mist-covered e

Octavia’s POV:I had been in the cabin for a whole day now and the man hadn’t spoken a word ever since. I believe he had some food on his corner but he didn’t do much of it. He would hardly move after hours, making me think he had lost all these hopes of ever getting out of here.“You know!” I cleared my throat as I rested my head back against the wall, “I have a little daughter who might be crying sick for me,” just the thought of Hope being in pain and missing me shook my heart inside my chest.I waited for him to say something but he didn’t utter a word, “I know you have been here for a very long time and you must have tried to escape in the beginning and all the failed attempts had made you think you can never leave this place, but that isn’t true. We must keep trying and get the heck out of here before we lose our mind completely,” I kept talking in hopes of him responding to
