Semua Bab Fated to the Alpha: Bab 171 - Bab 180

I'm silent, the sound of his beating heart calming some of that rage within me."If I hadn't said what I said back then, my father wouldn't have physically hurt you. He would have gone after Harry. He would have taken Harry from you first. Then he would have stripped you of everything that you cared about before he hurt you. And nobody would have been able to stop him, not even me. I didn't know you had left the mansion till I came back to the room. All your things were gone. I was told you had asked for a car and left."A humorless chuckle leaves his lips, followed by a heavy sigh, "That should have been my first clue."'I would never have asked for a car,' I think to myself dimly."You would never have asked for a car," Morris echoes my thoughts. "Not after what you had been subjected to. You would rather have walked home than do that. I didn't know they had actually made you walk home. My father realized you were my second weakness, one he could manipulate me with. I became a priso

I remember the dewy-eyed Teresa, the one who had kept asking for her son. I had learned that she was kept out of sight and had seen the way Chris, Morris's father, treated her."Morris hasn't been allowed to see his mother for years," Robert tells me. "When his maternal grandfather was alive, Chris Wolfguard made sure to turn the old man against his own grandson so as to ensure that Morris never revealed the treatment his mother was forced to endure. No matter how much Morris tried, his grandfather refused to see him, and Morris was only allowed to see his mother once a year and even that under supervision. And now, with his grandfather dead, his father has used Teresa as a weapon against Morris. Morris is currently working towards taking down his father and my own family. He's not been living luxury as you think, Aisha. I know why it's easy to believe that, but that man has been suffering since before you first met him, and after you left, his agony just increased. I truly believe th

Eve shoots him a dirty look and storms out.Morris lingers back for a moment, meeting my gaze, "I'll deal with this.""Yeah," I give him a cool smile. "Because you had such a real handle on it the first time."He flinches but doesn't respond, leaving me almost disappointed. The Morris, I remember, would have given me a sharp retort. But he's changed.My appetite gone, I call the server to pay for the drink, and I ponder over Robert's words. Eve might have married Morris out of stubbornness, but she's clearly unhappy in this marriage. She got Morris's name and his power as the Alpha Female, but she never got Morris, the one thing she wanted. It's clear, the frustration in her eyes. But her behavior with Morris just confirmed what Robert said. She controls him, and he seems to have no choice.But he's the CEO of a renowned investment company. How did he manage to pull that off with the way he's being watched like a hawk? I shake my head and get to my feet.I've already texted Clyde that

“They got my mother out.”"Your mother?" Aisha asks quietly.I look up at her, having forgotten that she had met my mother, "I had a plan to get her out of the house. It worked. She's safe."My eyes move toward a pale-faced Maria, "Are you willing to come back to Portland if I guarantee your safety?"She doesn't hesitate, nodding her head."Does someone want to tell me why Maria left Portland in the first place?" Aisha looks at both of us."My father," I sit up, feeling my injured muscles stretch. I don't have time to rest. "The night before my marriage to Eve, he sent out people to get rid of anyone that I held important. I told you, your apartment burnt down. That was not the only home that burnt to the ground that night. My oldest friend was one of the casualties, including his family. The humans I had befriended were all taken care of by my father's hitmen that night. I was left with nobody. The ones who survived were sent away, or they left to protect themselves. Even my assistan

AishaI watch the CCTV footage being played out on the news.The impression I had gotten from Morris when I had met him this time had been of a subdued man. However, it seems I was wrong. He's become more devious. When he said he would handle this whole situation, I didn't know what he meant. However, watching Robert's gleeful face as he sits cross-legged on the couch in my office makes me wonder if it was Morris who released this footage to the news.Every news channel is playing it.Eve's face is prominent in the windshield, anger in her eyes.Even the part where Morris throws himself in front of the car is in front of the world for them to see.'Morris Wolfguard, the mysterious President of the Henclock Investment Group, revealed his own identity and is pressing charges against his wife for the attempted murder of his business partner.
