RHONDA“Contract?” Amos’s eyes narrowed. “Can’t we just make our discussions based on verbal mutual agreement?” he asked.No one could be trusted. I didn’t really know him or his aim of offering to help develop the system that would be used for the fabric, so I had to take extra measures.“I don’t work with people based on verbal agreement,” I muttered flatly, giving no room for argument. “If you think you can’t sign a contract, then I might as well decline your offer.”He held my gaze for a few seconds, then leaned back in his chair, exhaling softly.“You’re tough,” he said, a small smile tugging at his lips. “I like that.”“That wasn’t meant to be likable,” I replied.“I know,” he chuckled. “That’s why I like it.”Silence stretched between us for a moment before he raised both hands slightly in surrender.“Alright. I’ll sign your contract.”I studied him, trying to see if there was any hesitation behind his easy agreement, but there was none. If anything, he looked amused.“Good,” I

RHONDA“We are leaving now,” I told Kane as I arranged my stuff into my handbag and leapt to my feet. I had almost forgotten he was there because of how quiet he had been.He reached for my bag, but I quickly pulled it away from him.“It’s fine.”I didn’t even expect him to be the one who would follow me to the company. I had expected Malcolm to ask Victor to follow instead.“You told him,” I muttered as we walked down the hallway.“I am sorry. I meant it when I promised to keep your secret, but…”“He threatened you with your family and you love them more than anything,” I cut him off.“I am sorry. I have wronged you. Please forgive me,” he muttered.“You don’t have to keep apologizing,” I said. “It’s not like you were given any choice. If I was also threatened with my family, I would have betrayed anyone.”“Thank you,” he nodded his head.When I saw that guilt was still written on his face, I added, “You don’t have to feel guilty about it. You weren’t in control.”“I know. But I hate

RHONDAAfter pulling off the T-shirt that carried the restaurant’s name, he was left in nothing but a black singlet. His chest was broad, his muscles well-defined. I never knew he was that... hot. Amos walked into the restaurant and headed straight for our table. “Can I see you please?” he asked, “privately.”“Oh, looks like someone lacks basic manners,” Ivy grunted, wrapping her arms around her chest. “There are people here. She’s seated with people who aren’t invisible.”“Forgive my manners,” Amos rubbed the back of his neck, his eyes darting between Isla and Ivy. “Good evening, ladies. Hope you are having a great time. I am sorry to interrupt, but I want to see her privately.”“That’s better.” A smile slowly spread across Ivy’s lips. “Good evening, Mr...?”“Amos,” he answered. “Nice to meet you.” He stretched his hand for a handshake and she took it.Afterwards, he also shook Isla’s hand before returning his gaze to me. “I need to see you, please.”“Sure.” I quickly leapt to my fe

MALCOLMMy phone rang. Kane was the caller. I picked up immediately.“Alpha,” he called with a panicky voice, “Ms. Rhonda. She was about to come out but rushed back inside and now she can’t be found anymore. The fire has swallowed the entire building.”“What do you mean?” my heart dropped to my stomach immediately. “What the hell are you talking about? Fire? Where? How?”I leapt to my feet immediately and grabbed my car keys. I rushed out of the office before he even replied.“There was a fire outbreak at the Italian restaurant. Ms. Rhonda and her friends had already made it out, but she rushed back inside. The fire has now covered the entire building. She’s still inside.”“Then go and fucking get her!” I growled.My heart was beating dangerously. I could barely breathe, fear engulfing my entire being like wildfire. I couldn’t lose Rhonda. She had to survive. I didn’t mind getting into that fire. I didn’t mind roasting my entire skin until I got to her and saved her.The speed I used
