All Chapters of The New Alpha Wants Me: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

MELANIE:I jerk up from the couch when the front door opens and slams shut. Heavy footsteps fill the air before he even shows up, looking still as mad and a hand covering his nose. The trail of blood on them makes my heart lurch.Oh God, they fought. His eyes flick to me, burning with hatred. “This is why you were so eager to get back to the project?”I gulp, shame washes over me.“What is wrong with you? How can you even think of doing this?”“I— I…”“You what?” He snaps, “You have two kids. How can you go around doing something so atrocious?”“I’m sorry… I didn't mean to do it… I” I place my palm on my forehead, hating the guilt that's crawling up my chest. “I felt… so lonely. I…”“So you threw yourself on the first man that gave you a little bit of attention?”No words can explain what I have done.“You shouldn’t have kissed him. Now he thinks he has any right on you” He hisses.“I’m sorry. I'm so sorry” I look down, unable to meet his gaze anymore. My throat clogs up again, the t

MELANIE:Cherry’s laughter rings through the living room, high and bright. Killian sits cross-legged on the carpet beside her, carefully fitting puzzle pieces together like he is trying to solve something bigger than the picture on the box.I pour milk into their glasses, watching the pale swirl as if it can drown out the quiet pulse behind my eyes.Liam left somewhere else after dinner and I was glad he did because his sudden change in actions is unsettling.“Mommy,” Cherry calls, “I finished it!”She beams up at me, cheeks flushed, messy hair everywhere. I smile back, kneeling beside her.“That’s beautiful, baby.”She nods proudly and reaches for my hand, her tiny fingers warm against mine.Darkness engulfs me. It’s sudden, like a door slamming open in my mind.For a heartbeat, I’m not in the living room anymore. I see sunlight filtering through trees, hear laughter, my own but not like now. It’s much softer.Then a face.Blue eyes. That same quiet intensity that always makes my che

My eyes flutter open, the throb is still there but not as crucial as before. I sit up, looking around the hospital room. Carlos is nowhere around. It stings my heart but the moment, flashback of the earthquake hits me, my worry for my children takes over. Oh God, they were at school. Liam probably is at his building dealing with the mess— if there was any. My children must be scared. I climb down the bed, look at the IV, almost ready to pull it out but the door opens behind me.“Dear, what are you doing out of the bed?”I look behind, a nurse probably in her late thirties is there looking at me with concern. “Please take it off. I need to see my children” I request. She walks over, places her hand on my shoulders and insists I sit down.“You need to let the—I shake my head, cutting her off urgently, “My children are alone. They need me. Take it off or I'm pulling it out anyway” I reach for the IV again but she stops me.“Okay, okay. Calm down” she says, doing it herself carefully.

MELANIE:Liam’s eyes flick between me and the open closet. My heart thuds watching the look in his eyes.“What are you doing?” He asks deeply, voice controlled in a way that leaves me even more suspicious of everything.“Why did you run away from our house like that? Do you realize how your behavior worried the kids?” He asks, stepping forward, his eyes moving carefully towards my hand that's hovering above the secret drawer.“Must you act so crazy?” He snaps. A knot forms in my throat, unable to come up with an answer.“Melanie, I'm talking to you. Get up, we are going back home” He says sternly.“Melanie” He repeats.“No” I whisper, more to myself than to him.“I must… find what's happening” I mutter, my heart aches painfully like something is being pulled apart.“There's nothing to find. What you need is rest, a break from everything” He says, moving closer, “Maybe a trip to Europe? Or Thailand since you love the food?”“I don't want a trip. I want answers. I want this confusion to

MELANIE:It's been two weeks since I last decided to keep living this life of Melanie. My kids were worried for the first few days after my behavior but with time, they have gotten better and back to their cheerful self. It hurts at times to think of Carlos and his sad face but when Cherry and Killian appear in front of me, it hurts a little less.“Mommy bye!” The kids say as Liam helps them in the car. I watch as the car slowly drives out of sight but my small smile fades when I spot a familiar car outside our building entrance.I gulp, hesitating before I go closer and that's when I see Carlos sitting inside the car. Our eyes lock and he looks like he wants to say something. He opens the car door, sending a rush of panic through me. I shake my head and step back, quickly rushing back to my house.God, I feel so bad but there's nothing I can do.After some hours, I leave the house and get into my car to drive to the company. My job is back in my hands and I keep myself as busy as pos
