George's POVWendy had avoided me like a plague ever since she left the hospital, she had blocked me on her phone, blacklisted me from the office, her fashion house, every single establishment she owned and she wasn't even at her house. She had probably either moved to a vacation house or was staying at an hotel.I had no choice but to plant a mole in her office. I needed information about her no matter how little it was, as long as I knew something about her recent life.I'd received a tip from the mole - a janitor at Wendy's office, that Edward was at Wendy's office, asking to talk to her. He said he would get back to me with more information about their conversation.What was Edward doing at Wendy's office? I don't remember asking him to go there. Edward never met with Wendy without my permission. What happened while I was out?Has there been a new development between the two?Was that why Wendy refused me? Because of Edward?Multiple questions raced throughy mind making me restles

Brittany POVI sat on my hotel room balcony, overlooking the skyline lost in thought.I knew I should have had him killed after carrying out the mission. A mission that he still failed to carry out properly. He tried to kill George, not Wendy. Now, Wendy is still alive and well, and George was injured.If George had died instead of Wendy, I would have put that man six feet under. I traced the rim of my glass of whiskey with my fingers. I gave the glass a light shake before bringing it to my lips. I swallowed the whiskey in one gulp, the liquid seeping down my throat smoothly, leaving a burning sensation in it's wake.Loose ends, there were a lot of them. They had somehow managed to tie Rosina's escape back to me, and even the accident. Luckily, I left before they could apprehend me.Nevertheless, Wendy was still alive, that was something that needed to change. I needed to construct another plan before it was too late, and this time I had to carry it out myself. After all, there was a

Wendy's POV“What?” I exclaimed dumbstruck. “Your wife? You have to be kidding me. I can't pretend to be your wife, matter of fact, I can't even live with you.” I added harshly, my voice dripping with sarcasm.“You asked for a way you could repay me,” he said. “That's the only thing I want.”“I already told you we're over.” I pointed back and forth between the two of us. “There's no way that it can happen.” I said firmly. “Ask for any other thing. Any other thing except that.”“I don't want any other thing,” he said, his voice unwavering. “You promised,” he added softly.My head spun as I thought of all the possibilities. I wasn't necessarily afraid of staying with George. I was afraid of what would happen. The temptations. The memories of our past still lingered, threatening to consume me, and there was the way he looked at me, with eyes that still held a spark of desire. All the walls I worked so hard to build might just crumble down. Was it worth the risk?“I can't, I just can't.”

Wendy's POVI pulled into the driveway. Parking my car, I went out and took out my luggage from the boot of my car.I stared at the penthouse. It was huge, as expected from George. I clutched the luggage in my hand tightly. I hadn't even moved two steps when George suddenly rushed out the door to take my luggage into the penthouse.“What a gentleman.” Whitney remarked sarcastically.“Give him a break.” I replied, walking into the house.I stared at the interior, it was nicely done, and so minimalist. Why did I care? I'd only be here for three days, not forever.I took a deep breath. “Day 1 of staying with my ex-husband, 2 more days to go.” I muttered under my breath.“Are you hungry?” George asked, from the dining area.“Not really.” I replied.“Oh, I've already made breakfast for you.” he said, the hurt displaying vividly over his face.“I'm sorry.” I replied, feeling bad.“It's not your fault, I should have waited for you to come and asked first.” He said softly. “I'll show you to y

Wendy's POVThe sun burned through the cream curtains and infused the room with a warm golden light. My very own heart pounded from the kiss last night. My fingers grazed my lips as I sat up in bed, replaying it again and again in my head.I kissed George.Despite all he'd done, despite the pain, I'd let him kiss me—and worse than that, I'd kissed him back as well.Whitney's words echoed in my mind. "You're playing with fire, Wendy. You know how it ends."I took a deep breath and rubbed my oily hands through the tangled hair. I was not going to do it. Not this time. The man had already broken me into pieces once, and I'd only just begun gluing myself back together again. I was not going to give him the club with which he was going to break me into pieces again.There was a knock on the door that broke daydreaming. "Wendy?" George whispered timidly.I feigned not having heard, and slept.There was another knock. "Wendy, I know you're awake." I whispered in an attempt to fool him that I

Chapter 136Wendy's POVI navigated the city streets in a daze, the soft whine of the engine the only break in the silence. My heart still stunned by shock at what George told me. "Because I still love you".I held the steering wheel in white-knuckled fists. He had no business saying that. Not after all this.My wolf, Whitney, growled uncomfortably under my skin. "He's not lying," she reminded me.I laughed. "Don't mean he needs a second chance."Maybe. You could see, though.I drove into an empty park just outside of town and took deep breaths. There was nothing there anymore but some rotten benches and the occasional jogger who jogged straight-out. A cold wind buffeted my body as I leaned on one of the benches, eyes closed.I was exhausted. Emotionally, physically—I ached from head to toe.I had no idea which one scared me more. That George had this kind of power over me, or that I still desired him in spite of it.My phone vibrated against my thigh. I extracted it and scowled at th

Chapter 137George's POVWhat was I thinking when I said that?. I must have gathered all the courage I had.“I really hope she won't get mad at me. Uggg….that was so stupid,“ I wrapped my head in my palm.I watched as she climbed the stairs, turning to glance at me each step she took and me trying to hide that I was scared of what she'd be thinking.Well, the good thing is I shot my shot, and I really meant it. I crave her , I want her and I miss her so much. Spending a night with me might also make her decide to be with me forever. We will be happy forever and I won't ever leave her for any stupid reason.There's something in her eyes that shows how much she wants me too, something I can never miss - the way her eyelids blink whenever she talks and she only does that when she's nervous. Damn, I miss us.I went back to sit on the couch, all sort of thoughts threatening to swallow me. I wonder what she's thinking.Wendy's POV.“Why does he have to ask with such eyes,” I sighed as I t

Chapter 138Wendy's POV.“Wendy you know you can't,” my inner wolf said. “Why? I avoided him perfectly well just now, so why can't I?.”It's true I almost fell, but I held it together just as it was about to escalate and I can do that for the rest of the day. It's not as hard as I think it is, but I want to eat right now. I've been suddenly feeling hungry.I should have ordered something, if I'm that determined to not go back on my words but today of all days , I am feeling creative. Like I'm about to cook a meal that will make history.I adjusted my hair in the mirror, slipped in a fluffy slide and went back to moisturize my lips, because they felt too dry before I finally went for the door.I practically tiptoed to the kitchen, because I had to make sure George wasn't anywhere around. I sighed in content when I didn't find him anywhere before I finally went inside the kitchen.“What to cook?,” I said, staring at the full fridge. The fridge was full, but I don't like the majority of

George's POV.She pressed her lips to mine, tugging at my buttoned shirt like she was about to pull it off.I held her hands, stopping her from going further. She moved back a little and looked at me with a raised eyebrow.“What is it?,” her voice was raspy, like she was already in the moment.“You don't want to do this, I know,” I said and as if that was what she needed to hear, she broke into tears. I immediately brought my hands to her cheeks to wipe the tears away while I brought her close to my arms.“It's ok,* I tapped her back as she cried in my arms.She looked up, wiped her tears and coughed before she said, “I'm so sorry, but I don't know what I was thinking,” “I thought you stopped loving me, then I got so confused,” “I'm sorry,” she said, her head hung low that it made my chest tight.“Wendy, look at me,” I said, raising her face up with my finger . “I told you, didn't I?,” “I said you don't have to do it if you don't want to, but it seems like you want a reminder.”Sh

George's POV.I read the letter again and it dawned on me that she had gotten herself into trouble. But how?.The letter stated that she had requested their funds receipt which is very rude to ask clients and they had to ask me directly before they would know the decision to make.Wendy would not do something like this but how come her name is written on the papers.Someone knocked again and before I could say anything,my secretary rushed in , terror lined in her face.“I made a huge mistake, Alpha George,” she trembled.I knew immediately what she was talking about.“Is it this?,”. I said, raising the letter and she nodded politely.“I'm really sorry,” she said again.I wasn't angry at her because that was not what mattered, all that mattered was….“Have you sent a copy of this to the clients?” I asked hoping she'd say no, but instead she nodded in the positive.I frustratingly wrapped my head in my palms, thinking of what I can do next to make sure Wendy isn't caught up in all the m
