Semua Bab The Alpha’s forbidden Flame: Bab 61 - Bab 67

Lena’s POVI went back to school that Thursday like nothing happened, like my name hadn’t been on every tabloid across the country. Just because I have finally gone back to the company doesn't make me any less important than Lena, I still wanted to go to college and study medicine. As soon as I walked through the main gate, everything changed, it was like a few goddess was walking among mortal men…well, I'm a goddess. People stopped talking, their heads turned, as they stared at me in shock and amusement. I would never get tired of this feeling except Monica. “What are you doing?” I frowned, stopping at her front. “Getting your picture for the school magazine,” she smiled and took my picture before I could stop her…and I didn't want to stop her anyway. Monica was on the school's editor team and the only editor that I know, because she was pretty much very active than most of them. She had all the juiciest gossip every time but she is also nice and doesn't pry into people's pri

Lena’s POV “Welcome to Croft Enterprises. Now, either get in line, or get out of my building,” I snapped, throwing the files at the secretary. Her mouth opened to retort but I held up a hand to shut her up. “I told you, Megan isn't the boss of this company, so it's either you work for me or get the fuck out.”“You think you can talk to me the way you like?”She hissed. “I have worked for this company for almost ten years, long before Megan took over this company.”“And I will forever be grateful for your services,” I forced a smile. “That's why I'm offering you a fat envelope for your retirement.”“You would destroy this company in days and I know it, you are not fit to lead.”“It's my company, not yours so whatever I do or how I run the company is not your goddamn business.”She inhaled deeply, and stormed off. “She's such a bitch,” I eyed and walked away, Nathan followed me immediately. The office looked exactly how I left it years ago—white walls, glossy floors, glass desks…ev

Lena’s POVI sat in my office the next morning, staring at the ring Arlo gave me. I hadn’t said yes, but I didn’t say no either.I let out a sigh, unsure of what to do. My brain felt like it had run five marathons. How did I even get here?I twirled the ring between my fingers, over and over, as I sat behind my desk. My phone was pressed to my ear. Ivy was on the other end.“You didn’t say anything?” Ivy asked, clearly annoyed.“I just… I froze,” I muttered. “It felt too fast. I mean, I love him—I think—but how am I supposed to think about marriage when my whole company is falling apart?”There was silence for a few seconds.“Lena,” Ivy finally said. “You don’t have to give him an answer right away, but don’t keep him hanging forever…Arlo is not a patient man, and how do I know that? well, thanks to Briar, he sings it everyday.”“I know,” I whispered, pressing my hand against my forehead. “I just need time.”“Hey,” she whispered. “Can I tell you something but you have to swear that y

Arlo’s POVLena had been avoiding me since yesterday, she just snatched the ring and left without a word, at least a no would have done it.This morning I literally caught her tiptoeing out of the house around seven am and Lena was not the type to be out of bed before ten. I tried to tell myself that she just needed space or something but it was starting to feel like she’d used that space to build a wall between us and I wasn’t the kind of guy to beg for attention, but damn, I missed her.I had only one place to go, to vent out my anger since Briar had been quite busy chasing a pussy. What happened to bros before whores? What happened to brothers first? Well, Briar had made sure to break that pact in a thousand ways that could not be sewed back. I drove back to vixen club, the guards didn't stop me like usual, I walked straight into my VIP room. The hostess came in and poured me a drink. She sat down beside me and engaged in a rather lengthy conversation. If I wasn't wrong, it fe
