51Alyssa’s PovSomehow, it has seemed a little peaceful ever since Ingrid left with Reece. Although, a part of me missed Reece, but since his leaving was giving me some space from Ingrid, it was likeable.“So, I have decided that you run just two laps today, and gradually, you’ll be able to step up to three, four and five.” Reynold said to me and I felt relieved.At least, if I was running just two laps, I would be able to lie on the ground and get some rest, rather than knowing that I had more to go. That’s one thing; I think the Alphas are nicer when Ingrid isn’t around than when she is. If not, I am so certain that he would be harder on me than he is right now.“Noted.” I responded and started running.While running, I wondered why they were still insisting on me doing this because I haven’t really showed much progress since and knowing the kind of men they were, they didn’t like to lose, so it would be only unfair for me to be treated badly just because I lost.After running the

53Ingrid’s PovApart from the awkward moments, I had a nice time hanging out with Maya. To have fun was a really nice feeling and I think I’m beginning to have more than I ever thought.Soon, we got back to the hotel room and we both sat on the bed to talk about our experiences while having fun.“You look like someone who hasn’t really been in much relationships? I mean, that is before you met your husband. Am I right?” Maya asked me, then folded her legs to get more comfortable on the bed.“Uhm… Yeah, you’re right. I guess it’s so obvious.” I said with a slight smile on my face.“Well, it depends on the person looking at you. As for me, I can just tell due to the little time we’ve spent together.” Maya replied and tucked her hair behind her ear.I chuckled shyly and cleared my throat to get a hold of myself. The topic was a little sensitive for me since it only reminded me of something, I didn’t want for it to get to the limelight at all.“What about you? You seem like you’ve been i

55Ingrid’s PovI was really shocked about the message which was sent to me and couldn’t get it off my mind. Who could have sent me this text? The fact that I knew that a dangerous person wasn’t too far from me and was watching my every day move really made me scared.Suddenly, my phone rang out and when I looked at the screen, I discovered that it was the same number which sent me a text. I froze up for a while with my heart beating rapidly. I didn’t know what to expect and what he or she would say to me.But then, I knew I had to answer the call to know the mind of the blackmailer or whoever he or she was.I slid the green button, and the call connected.“Hello.” I voiced out softly, trying my best not to make my voice tremble.“Yeah, hello. I guess you saw my text.” The blackmailer spoke in a deep voice.“Who are you?” I asked immediately, trying hard to conceal my fear.Then the blackmailer chuckled and let out a satisfied sigh.“I am your worst nightmare but it depends on what yo

57Ingrid’s PovI couldn’t believe my eyes. Did she really just confess to me? Why was brother and sister both weird? Daniel liked Reece and now, Maya likes me. It’s just so surprising and confusing.What’s going on?The fact that Maya wasn’t saying anything like she understood that I’m married and would have to back out just like her brother said made me feel uncomfortable. Was she still insinuating that she would want to have a thing with me regardless of that?Hell, no! She should know that’s totally not possible and would never happen. I don’t go around with women and would never change my preference for anything.I became so speechless and didn’t really know what to say due to the fact that it was something I wasn’t expecting.I only kept staring at her in bafflement and with no idea of what to say of the situation.“I know you’re surprised and all because you never expected it. I understand. But Ingrid, what I feel for you is pure, and I can’t help but fall in love with you ever

59Ingrid’s PovI opened the message only to see what made my heart beat drop a little.“I can see you’re about to tell your man about me. Go ahead. Just so you know, Give Up Now. (When you’re done, take the first letters of my last three words outside the bracket.)” The blackmailer instructed me.With shaky hands, I began to look deeply at the words and did just as he had said, and to my shock, it meant Gun.I almost gasped after realizing this and my eyes searched around the restaurant. For the person to say this, it only meant that he was around the hotel and is with a gun.My heart began to beat fast and louder to an extent that I thought Reece was going to hear it. My palms became sweaty and cold. My whole body was frozen and my appetite had fully gone away.“I thought I heard you call me. Did you?” Reece asked as he turned to me.Then I looked back at him with so much fear in my eyes. Even my lips were finding it difficult to move as the fear had paralysed me.“Are you okay?” Re
