From Heartbreak To Stepmom のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

Ralph’s POVShowing up at the spa again was just to make Alison jealous. I feel very sorry to be using Melody like that but I need to be sure that she’s crazy about me like I am about her. She pushes me away anytime I get close but she was the one who started all of this.I’ve made a promise to myself that if I try to make her jealous and it doesn’t work then I will assume that she truly doesn’t like me. I will count my losses and move on. But it seemed to have worked, she looked angry, and it was visible on her face that she didn’t like what we were doing. So I will take that as a good sign and keep pushing till I make her mine.I was back at my home office after my little display with Melody, going through some of the files on my laptop when Anne tapped on my door, she opened the door without invitation and popped her head into my office.“Alpha Ralph, good afternoon.” She greeted me and slid into the office, she hastily sat across me with a mischievous expression. She was one of th

Ralph’s POVI got up and walked up to her and tapped her several times. Leaving the bar with her in a drunken state was not a good look for me but why was she even drunk after three shots… It’s not like this was tequila or vodka or anything that strong.“Alison, open your eyes please!” I shook her.She peeked at me with one eye, and tried to sit up but she was a bit weak.“I think you should go to the ladies' bathroom and try to pee, it will help you feel more… stable.”She looked around the bar, and back at me. “I… I don’t think I can make it to the washroom by myself, please go with me.”There was no way I would take her to a bathroom in a public space, this was the same girl I was photographed with some time ago and also accused of harassing. Despite it being a late night and also a no-photos zone, I still couldn’t risk it. Someone could flout the rules and take pictures, which could affect me, especially when it was time for elections.I walked up to one of the ladies who sat at

Third Person POV“How do you make a man like Ralph Vandyke fall in love?” Melody asked Anne as she sat beside her on the swinging chair on Anne’s patio.“What? I thought you said things were going great?” Anne remarked.“Come on, Anne, he’s a player. He knows how to make you feel great, only to dump you later. I’m familiar with this game. In the first two weeks, everything was great, and deep down, I knew it was too good to be true. I was right because two weeks later, he was back to his nonchalant ways again. Recently, I invited him to a party at the spa. I know he didn’t want to come, but I ignored his sentiments. The Alpha came to the party only to leave early with one of the recruits.”Anne gasped; she knew Ralph was unstable, but not to this level. Trying to pursue an employee while dating her boss was very disrespectful.“You have to fire that employee before it gets out of hand,” Anne replied.Cory walked into the scene holding glasses of wine. He handed one to Anne and one to

Ralph’s POV “You’re probably smelling her because I was at the bar close to your spa, and she was there drinking herself to stupor. I was worried about her so I dragged her out and called the driver to send her home. Maybe her scent rubbed off on me. Come inside and let’s talk.” I was so confident with my response that it left her confused. Cory followed me inside and so did she. Melody got even more upset when we went inside. “Are you sure Alison isn’t here? Because her scent is only getting stronger?” I stared at her with a fed-up expression on my face, “Do you want to organize a search in the pack house?” I was hoping she would say no but she nodded affirmatively, so I gave her a piercing look and nodded, “Fine, go ahead and search. After the search, you can come back so we can discuss the details of the shooting incident.” I was only reminding her of why she was here in the first place. She nodded, “It’s fine let’s sit down and talk.” She finally read the room and

Alison’s POVI woke up without even realizing that I had slept through the morning, it was Ralph barging into the room that woke me up.“Oh finally you’re awake, I was getting worried.” He said to me, I didn’t reply because I didn’t know what to say. “Are you okay?” He asked.The answer was no, I was not okay, the conversation I had with Cory last night was messing with my head. I felt like a bad person, I don't want to do what Cory did to me to another person. I’m not Cory, nor am I like him, and I have to prove it.“Alison?” Ralph called again.“I want to go home,” I said, getting up from the bed without even looking him in the eye. I didn’t see his face but I could feel the disappointment.“But I got us lunch,”“I will take mine home then,” I replied and forced a smile, he didn’t even try to hide his disappointment, he watched me dash to the bathroom, get a mouthwash and rinse my mouth then watched as I rinsed my mouth then left him alone in the room. He followed me downstairs loo
