130. I'm just a broken man

Third Person Point of View "So… what are you doing here?" After a few moments of silence, Riley finally asked."We're in the process of moving our head office here. I came to manage some things," Eash replied.Riley didn't ask further and turned to look out of the car window. If they moved their head office to this city, Eash and Ezra would spend most of their time here. That meant running into them was inevitable. Just thinking about it gave her a headache."So, where did you go?" Eash asked."I just went to meet a friend," Riley answered shortly. She didn't want to discuss her current situation with him."A friend? Do you actually remember this friend?""I don't have to remember. She remembers me, just like my parents and Leo." Riley replied coldly.Eash smiled. "Of course they do. How could anyone forget someone like you?""Is there any progress in finding your mate?" Riley asked after a while."Not yet…" Eash sighed. "But we haven't given up.""My mom likes you and your brother a

131. It was the letter.

Third Person Point of View The smell of coffee filled the small house. Elsa moved around the kitchen, humming softly as she poured the steaming drink into her best porcelain cups. Her hands trembled, not from age, but from excitement.To Elsa, Eash wasn’t just a wealthy, dominant Alpha. He was a man burdened with heartbreak, someone who had lost his mate and had searched the world ever since, unable to find her. And above all, the mate he lost was named Riley, the same as her daughter. From what he said, she even resembled her.When Elsa first heard of Eash and Ezra’s tragedy, she felt she could relate. Her own daughter had been in a coma for so long, and the fear of not knowing if Riley would ever wake up, or if she’d lose her forever, was agony. Elsa knew the pain of almost losing someone you loved.So in Elsa’s heart, Eash and Ezra were two young men who deserved comfort.She had no idea about the pain they had inflicted on their mate, the way they betrayed her. If Elsa knew, she

132. You have impressed us.

Third Person Point of ViewEash's fingers traced those words for what must have been the hundredth time. He knew every line of this letter by heart; he didn't need to see them to recall them. Still, his chest tightened, his breath caught as his gaze lingered on the familiar words.For now, my safety depends on silence.His fingers paused over the sentence. Do you really think that if we found you, it would threaten your safety, Riley? The question burned in his mind, unanswered, because there was no one left to ask.Eash and Ezra had long believed that if Riley were alive somewhere, she would eventually try to contact either Kimberley or Aunt Jay. So they had tapped both women's mobile phones, their home telephones, and even the phones of their close relatives. But they also knew Riley was clever. She would expect that. So they tried to anticipate every possible way she might reach out. Intercepting mail was one of those.And after a year of tireless searching, their efforts had final

133. I believe she's regained her memories of the past

Third Person Point of View Laura forced a smile. The girl, Riley, had impressed the panel with her confidence, and her backstory had moved them deeply. They had been ready to offer her the job, despite her lack of experience. They believed she could learn quickly and overcome her shortcomings.But then Laura had received the call from the CEO, halting Riley's hire. And afterwards, the man in the black suit had appeared. He instructed her on everything she should say and everything she should not. He had rehearsed the questions he thought Riley might ask, drilling them into Laura over and over until her replies were flawless. By the time the call was arranged, Laura had become an ideal messenger.Now that it was over, she let out a long breath of relief.From what she saw on Riley's résumé, and from the way the girl spoke during her interview, Riley came from a modest background. She couldn't even afford her college tuition. Yes, she was incredibly beautiful, and yes, she seemed intel

134. What loan?

Third Person Point of View Leo's body wriggled against the restraints, sweat pouring over his bare skin, making it glisten under the dim light. The heavy metal cuffs bit into his wrists, leaving raw red marks. He was chained like a wild beast without reason or consciousness.And that was precisely why he had chosen it. Because right now, he was no different from a wild beast.His rut had come.He had known it was approaching, which was why he chose this villa far from civilisation. He had ordered the staff to vacate their residences, ensuring no one would hear his howls of agony. No one would witness his torment. It was just him and Theron, his wolf.This rut was worse than any he remembered.Because this time he had nothing. No medicine. Nobody to soothe him. No DARK to numb his senses.Only the suffocating silence of the villa.He remembered the promises. To Riley, he had sworn he would never touch DARK again, never take any medicine to ease this. To himself, he had vowed he would

135. Any place can be our home

Third Person Point of View A loan? What loan is that? And their home… on the line?“What loan is he talking about?” Riley demanded, her gaze alternating between her parents, who stood with their heads bowed. They didn’t even raise their eyes to meet hers.The man in front of them chuckled coldly. “They weren’t ashamed to take loans, but now that their daughter knows about it, they’re so ashamed.”Riley felt like she wanted to punch him in the face.“Two and a half years back, they borrowed money to pay your college fees. When they still had this loan to pay, they mortgaged this house a year and a half ago to borrow even more money. Now everything has accumulated, and even if we sell the house, it won’t recover our loss.” The man spat angrily.“Since your father was a sincere man, I trusted him and personally asked our boss to give him the second loan too. But now, he’s damned betrayed me!”Riley could understand this man. His anger wasn’t purely about financial loss; there was someth

136. Employee Loan

Third Person Point of View“What? No!” Riley almost yelled.“This is our home. The one you inherited from Grandpapa. This house may be old, but it is filled with memories, so we are not going to sell it,” she added firmly.Ashley looked up at his daughter, his eyes rimmed red. “Baby… what will we do then? Three weeks isn’t long.”Riley looked at him with determination. Even though she didn’t know how she would fulfil her promise, she wanted to appear strong in front of her parents. “Don’t worry about it. I will take care of everything. You don’t have to be afraid anymore.”Ashley and Elsa looked at each other helplessly.“Tell me, how much do we need to pay within these three weeks? Do you have the details of the payments?” Riley asked.Elsa stood up from the chair and walked to their room. After some time, she came back with a file folder.“This has all the information,” she said, handing it to Riley.Riley quickly went through the folder. She didn’t need to calculate much; the lette

137. Now, for a whole five years she belongs to us.

Third Person Point of ViewAs soon as Riley stepped out from the HR office, Mia, the HR manager, made a call. "Is the CEO in the office?""Okay, I will come now."She didn't waste a minute and hurried down the corridors to get to the elevator, then to the highest floor where the CEO's office was.She didn't bother to gently knock. One firm rap on the door and she stepped inside.The CEO, Mr. Davidson, looked up from his desk. "Riley?"Mia nodded. She had been instructed directly by him that anything related to Riley must be reported to him immediately, so she did just that."She came to my office just now," Mia said. "She asked for the possibility of a loan. A large sum… a little bit over her annual salary."Davidson leaned back in his chair and asked, "What reason did she give?""It's to pay off some debts her parents took when she was sick… She seemed desperate. But she didn't want our sympathy. I felt that she thought I would reject her right away. She seemed surprised when I said

138. How did she find that much money?

Third Person Point of ViewIt was evening. Riley and her parents were home, watching TV and talking leisurely when the doorbell rang.Riley went to open it, and the moment she saw who stood outside, her heart skipped a beat.Leo.She hadn’t seen him for nearly three weeks. It wasn’t a long time, but it was long enough to change him completely.The man standing in front of her was not the same commanding alpha she remembered. His tall frame seemed thinner, his broad shoulders slightly hunched as if weighed down by pain. His usually healthy, sun-kissed skin looked pale, like he hadn’t seen sunlight in days. And most shocking of all, his sharp green eyes had lost their intimidating glory. They looked dull, almost lifeless, with dark circles carved beneath them.He looked sick. Exhausted.He was a dominant alpha, a man known for his strength and resistance to illness. Yet whatever he had endured had nearly broken him.“Leo…” Riley whispered, her eyes fixed on his face.Leo smiled at her,

139. Could it be them behind this?

Third Person Point of ViewLeo quickly ordered his men to find out how Riley found this money so soon.Then he paid off the rest of the loan, even adding a little extra to make the debtor work according to his plans and keep the secret.Leo leaned across the desk and gave his final order:“You must keep this secret. To them, you are still the debtor. Tell them you felt guilty for making them find such a large amount within a short period. So, tell them you decided to lower the monthly payment. I will send you the exact details on how much they should pay monthly.”The debtor nodded quickly. He had no idea why this dominant alpha, who was the mayor of the city, was so concerned with this ordinary family. What he couldn’t understand the most was why he put so much effort into keeping it a secret.***************************Two days later, when Riley received a call from the debtor and heard the news of their reduced monthly payment, Riley was over the moon.“We wouldn’t do this normall
