Lahat ng Kabanata ng LOVE AND LIES: THE BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE'S RETURN : Kabanata 71 - Kabanata 80

ELI After she left the room, I sat down on the bed, thinking about what she had said. I understood what she was again. I wasn't looking down on Seth either. He had managed to mess a lot of things up and kill a lot of people so I would be stupid not to acknowledge him. We were advancing to his pack tomorrow. All preparations had been made and everything was set to go. A knock on the door interrupted my thoughts and I stood up to open it. “Bernard, what is it?”I let him enter the room and then closed the door. “I was just looking for you. Are you okay?"“Yeah, why would you ask? Is everything okay downstairs? Do you need me for anything?”He looked at me for a moment before sitting beside me. “No, everything is fine. You're not okay, what's up?"I didn't want to talk about it but Bernard was married with two kids. Maybe he will understand this whole women's drama better than I did. “Rowena is mad at me from not being scared. She thinks I'm being too over confident and I'm going

ELI We speedily advanced towards his pack. It took us a little over half a day to get there. There was no need to sneak in and act like we were trying to invade his pack. No, we were attacking and taking over. “Is it just me or it's weird that there were no guards at the border?” Benny whispered in my ear as soon as we entered the pack. “What are you talking about?” I turned to the men right behind me “Search the houses! You, come with me!" A couple of guards and I marched towards Seth's house. Today, he would feel my wrath. The place was as dry as a desert. It was like it had been abandoned..“Search the entire property!” Where the hell was everybody? “Eli, can't you hear what I'm saying? Look around you, there's no one here!" He was right.“Then where the hell is he? He can't possibly disappear with his entire pack, can he?” “Yes, he can. If he has the information that you're coming today, he could easily have made preparations and evaded you. Mark was right, there's a mol

She didn't end up moving out of the house. She never thought that she'd have the strength to do such a thing but looking back, it was the best thing she could have done because now, not only was she free from the bodage she called marriage, but she was also free to move on with her life. But she just couldn't do that last part. She tried to move on and pack her things out of the house but she couldn't bring herself to. Maybe it was because she had spent too much time in this house and she was used to it that leaving it would mean leaving a part of her behind. Or maybe it was because she wasn't ready for all that was going to happen in the following days to come. The media would have a field day with that kind of story. She could already imagine the headlines. It would only be a matter of time before everyone found out about Sophia. And then she would know no peace. She hated drama so much. She would actually do anything to avoid it. But what would she do to get away from this no

EVELYNI spent most of that night going over the file and looking at each girl individually. These kids were just babies. Who would want to take teenagers? And what would they want to use them for? If they were taking people from the pack maybe for information, it would not make sense to kidnap them for that because they knew little to nothing about the kingdom. The only teenager who knew more than he should was Nathan. It occurred to me that the women said that more than these kids had been kidnapped since the beginning of the year. Tomorrow, I would ask that their files be brought to me too. Maybe there was a connection I was not seeing because I was sure that they were not just selected at random. Could their kidnappings have something to do with Nathan's or was his just because he was the Alpha's son? Also, how do I know it wasn't planned by one of those upright custom followers who felt that Nathan shouldn't become king? I wouldn't sit here and act like I didn't know what pe

LUCIAN I had a raging headache that was about to burst through my head. I'd been in this seat for almost ten hours, from one meeting to another and I'd been talking and talking and it felt like it would never end. With the recent actions of the Argan Cult, I had no other choice but to start thinking of ways to protect my wolves. “So what are we going to do if we can't fight them with weapons?” “We have to ask for help from the witches, Alpha. We can't do this on our own."That was something I didn't want to hear. “Don’t even bring that up. Why can't we do it on our own? They're just men, aren't they?” I knew that they weren't just men but then I didn't want to ask for help from those people. “Alpha, I know you have reservations when it comes to the witches but then you have to think about how they could help us. I mean, we can't fight them on our own. What better way to fight people who have powers with their kind?” I knew that they were making sense but I didn't want to hear
