Semua Bab Bound by His Mark, Freed by His Betrayal: Bab 241 - Bab 250

Vivienne’sShock and surprise were an understatement of what I felt when those words fell from the Alpha’s lips.Never in my life did I ever think that a man would be able to leave his woman.Then I wondered why I was surprised.After all, I saw the man doing the most disgusting thing with a maid in a hidden courtyard, so who’s to say he ever loved his wife? Who’s to say all that doting wasn’t just for public display?Now that she wasn’t on the same page with him anymore, he was quick to discard her.But what could I say? Everything had turned out just the way I wanted it to be.The evil brawl would be sent out of the White House, and as if that wasn't enough, the doctor had confirmed that she lost her baby. It was gone, and no one would be able to challenge my nephew for a place that’s rightfully his.“Oh my goodness, did you see that? Did you see what just happened publicly? He didn’t even wait for them to be in their private quarters,” I said to Victor as I happily poured another g

Assistant’s POV“Victor, did you do this? Did you do this, you bastard?” she yelled angrily.“Hey, calm down, okay. Of course I didn't do this, why would I do it?”She scoffed, throwing her hands into the air.“Oh well, I don’t know. Maybe because we’ve been so secure with our relationship that I know no other person knows about this. The only person who knows about us is you, and I, and I certainly didn’t do this.”“So what makes you think that I did it?”“Because you have nothing to lose, Victor. You have no partner to answer to, no children that look up to you. You have absolutely nothing to lose, and that is why I think you did this.”It was my turn to let out his scoff, and I followed it with a back-and-forth pacing in the room.“Of course I didn’t do this, Vivienne. We’ve been good partners, and have you asked yourself what I would benefit from this?”She stared at me, face expressionless, apart from the dried tears that were on it.I looked at the picture again, and it was cert

Assistants POVWe were led into a small security office that carried the stale smell of coffee and cheap disinfectant. A surprise, because I knew the hotel was one of the most expensive in the city. The least they could do was use a disinfectant with a pleasant smell.The security personnel in charge of the small room was sent out by the manager who had a smug smile across his lips, an unnecessary one. As if he had been in this situation a number of times and knew exactly what we were dealing with.I turned Vivienne who seemed to get more pale by the second. If it was something that could get us in trouble, her nervousness alone would give us away.But I didn’t care about any of that. After all, even if anything was to go wrong, I wouldn’t really suffer from it.I had thought about it on our drive over to the hotel and realized that I had no reason to be scared. After all, I had done worse things to secure the position I was fighting for and a little soap opera drama like that wasn’t

Assistants POV“Who the hell are you? Who are you, you bastard, and what do you want from me?”I yelled, turning around as I tried to get the source of the voice.A hollow laughter followed my words, making me feel like a cheap joker. “Michael,”The voice repeated, making my breath hang in my throat.I swung around the room, my heart slamming hard against my chest. My eyes tore through the room like weapons waiting to find their aim.The room was empty, the corners, the chair— everything was empty. There was no one in the room with me, but that voice definitely sounded like someone was right there with me.It didn't sound like a pre-recorded message being played from anywhere.Was I imagining it?—I asked myself, closing my eyes.I decided that I was. The stress of everything that happened in the last few days, the excitement that I was closer to my goal than ever, was making me imagine things.“Michael…”This time, the voice came from another side of the room. And it was no imaginati

Assistant’s POVI sat across from Vivienne, now looking as troubled as she had been at the hotel.I wrapped my hand around my glass as that was the only comfort I could find with the madness I just went through.None of us said anything for a while; we just sat there, each clearly plagued by different thoughts. Our whiskey was our only comfort, and we held onto it like it would bring an end to all of our problems.Vivienne stared into a glass, and I knew that look. She wasn’t really looking at her drink because she had no reason to. Her mind was probably thinking of the footage from the hotel, and her question was probably replaying the words…If not Victor… then who? And as much as I hadn’t cared about it because I really didn’t have much to lose on that matter, I also had to ask myself the same question, the same because at that point, everything became astonishing.So if not, Monica, then who? Who could’ve discovered my hideout, stolen my key, and broken into my lab?Although Mo
