Daphne’s POVThe ride home was uneventful and honestly, the last thing I needed was to talk to dad right now, he had made that decision without consulting me first, and somehow I made me feel trapped.All these decisions I was making as of recently were starting to get to me and as much as I loved being ivory, the weight it brought made me feel as though the more decisions I took, the faster I let go of everything that made me Daphne.As the car came to a stop in front of the house, I came down and without saying much to him, I entered, hoping he wouldn’t decide to drop in.I hadn’t fully moved here though, but I just required time to think all these through and this was the only place I would be allowed to think properly.Without turning back, I knew his car was still parked until I entered the house and as soon as I shut the door behind me, I heard his car zoom off…My eyes caught sight of the newly arrived furniture, but I ignored it as I headed upstairs straight to my room where I

Daphne’s POVI felt guilty of not checking up on Andrew today, but I did ask about him because it was the right thing to do… I owed him that.Work was hectic as I and my team were beginning to get more offers and interviews. To add to my work, I was still trying to facilitate the merging of my dads tech company at the further end of town with mine.“You have Rex Caddel waiting for you in the waiting room” Rosy said, after greeting me, to which I stopped before remembering I had given him a job as my personal assistant.“Did you hand over those files to him?” I asked and she replied positively.Did I regret it now?No, it was just the perfect way to deal with his ego, he must have been sent to me by his scheming Dad to try to charm me. So, I’ll make things easier for them for a while before breaking them.I thanked her and informed her of his position now in the office before bracing myself to face him as I walked to my office. Grown ass men like the Triplets still listen to their dads

Daphne’s POVThe thought of Andrew being the person behind this plan had evaporated throughout the night and my thoughts were filled with only him, Rex Caddel.Two things were certain to me, Rex’s absence from work would make things hard for me as I was already used to his cheerful nature…in just one day and the other was Rex's plans may have succeeded in charming my wolf and me. I had cried through the night, and it took all I had not to head to their mansion to find out how he fared, worst still, Nina added to my worries by whining throughout the night.Rex had fought for me and had gotten injured because of me, that emotion was strong enough to wipe a bit of the hatred I felt for him alone.Without Alpha Ryder, Rex was still the same since I had ever remembered. He was an even, a better version of himself or better still, he had shown me a better version of himself.Back then he had been lanky and so carefree, he was a typical playboy and mean to me, but the Rex I had met yesterday

Daphne’s POV.I heard a gasp leave Dad’s lips as I said it. This wasn’t my cross to carry, but here I was carrying it due to Andrew's careless act.I couldn’t dare to see the face of my father, who was in total disbelief, while Alpha Ryder, on the other hand, seemed to have found what he was looking for as he had a grin plastered on his face.“I know you already said you’d punish her, but then I doubt if you’d do it” he started, causing me to frown… I already knew where this was heading to, and honestly, I was scared because I knew Dad might or would fall into his trap.“You wouldn’t have the moral fiber to punish your only daughter regardless of what she had done” he taunted.“Ivory!” Dad thundered, but I still couldn’t meet his raging eyes, but I knew he was already falling for Alpha Ryder's vocal trap. “However, in case you want to do anything… I would want the partnership to be done without any hesitation”.There it was, His trap

Daphne’s POV“You heard from my Dad that I was going to be crowned alongside Andrew, so what’s this about?” I asked.“You see, I realized that you have been acting all high and mighty due to the contact we kept on pleading for, but now I have the file that entails that we are now partners”.“Equal partners!” He added and I frowned.“If your plan was to call me here and rub it in, then trust me, it won’t work at ALL!”“Okay, Anything that happens to her will be all on you, then”.“What the fuck are you talking about?!” I asked him in alarm, he was either delusional or crazy to think that he had the power to call the shots now.It seemed to me like he had forgotten that the girl kneeling in front of tears trailing down her face was his daughter and meant nothing to me!“You heard me loud and clear, ivory! You can either pick a date or you leave her to her fate” I burst into laughter, never ever have I pictured Alpha Ryder as this kind of lunatic because his character was starting to con
