ARGONI stood there, trembling at Brielle's sudden action. This wasn't the plan. Why is she doing the opposite? WHY?! "My councils, I have heard about marriage being the most sweetest experience in one's life, but I have never come across a marriage as hellish as mine, " Brielle said, adding more fear to my heart."Alpha, she's telling them what happened. What now?" Jerome whispered to me, expecting me to take an action. But I was completely frozen to think of anything at that point. I was stuck in a big well of horror."As hellish as yours?""Please, tell us everything." The councils said, pushing Brielle to speak up. When I saw this, I immediately chipped in. "What are you saying, my love? What has come over you?""Love?" Brielle uttered that particular word, lifting her brow at me in surprise. And that was enough to show the council that I've been unjust to her."Did you just call me you

BRIELLEI sniffed, wiping my eyes while passing the servants that stood in my way, heading for my room. The moment I arrived outside the door and stepped inside, shutting the door close behind me... "Yuck! Crying sucks!" I groaned with irritation, wiping my face at once."Yeah, it sucks but it works. Haha!" Bane laughed within me.I couldn't deny that. My crying used to weigh me down back then, but now... It's a weapon."Where's our agenda list, my lovely Brielle?" Bane asked. And as a good host, I hopped into my bed and pulled out a book from under the pillow. It was my to-do list."Agenda number one, be the dummy and receive all bullying.""Check, " Bane answered.I checked that of course, with a smirk across my face."Agenda number two, still be the dummy, start a fire, and play the victim. ""Double check that with a kiss attached."I chuckled at Bane's excitem

BRIELLE"Washing? This is the one chores that I hate. We Ivys don't do works like this. Soon, you'll stop all these and give those helpers to do it," Bane complained while I washed my clothes.But I just laughed it off, finding this small work not a big deal for me."I'm used to it already. And besides, these are my own clothes. I can't allow anyone else to touch it, especially at this time. I don't trust anyone," I said, revealing my distrust for everyone in the mansion."Yeah, everyone except for Tania. I can sense her presence. She should be entering here right about...""Luna!" Tania called from the entrance of the washroom.When I turned back at the door, I saw how she zoomed in without control."Luna I have... AHH!""Tania!" I exclaimed at the speed she used in diving in.Her leg had slipped on the wet floor, sending her meeting the wall. I had to cover my mouth at the sudden impact."Are

ARGONThey came, just like they promised.I stood at the door of my office as the agent from the business award organization, came and demanded for the trophy."It has to go, " The agent said, motioning his hand at me to bring the award.With a heavy heart and shame, I signalled Jerome to do the needful. "Give it to him, " I said, trying my best not to look at my workers, who were staring at me and mumbling secretly.Jerome brought the award forward, giving it to the agent, who immediately took it and left without saying any other word to me.I took one last look at that trophy that was taken from me. My sweat, my treasure... It's all gone."Don't worry, Alpha. You'll get it back one day. They will have no choice but to bring it back to you, " Jerome assured me.All I could do was hum, hiding my deep feeling with a strong face out."Well, it's not a big deal. Let's resume with work. You all, get back to work, " I ordered, showing my dominance.But with all that was happening, my worke

ARGONI didn't expect Brielle to take this celebration seriously, but she marveled me.I woke up to see my servants following her around to make arrangements for my day. All I did was watch from above the stairs, as she gave orders, sending each servants to handle different tasks."Get fresh apples and you get the flour set. Tania, you'll assist me in the kitchen," She ordered, heading for the kitchen while the servants went to carry out their work.All what she was doing, left me feeling strange at Brielle's new side. I just couldn't look away from her point."It seems you got to speak to her, " Jerome said, standing next to me.I had sensed his presence close but didn't bother turning to look until he was standing beside me."How did you do it? Was it a long conversation or a short one? " He asked, curiously.I just swayed my head at Jerome, answering his question, "We didn't have a proper conversation.""Really? Then... How did you get her to organize all these? I thought you warne
