All Chapters of The Alpha's Biggest Mistake Was Killing Me : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

•ISOLDE•"Stop, Caleb, she will hear us.""Didn't I tell you she's blind and deaf now?" he chuckled. "She won't see or hear a thing.""I hear you, but—"She froze when they walked into the living room and found me sitting in a wheelchair, facing them. I wasn't wearing my eyeglasses."Does she always do that?" Talia asked, placing her hand over her chest."She can't see us, babe." He wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her closer. "Please, relax. Don't let her scare you." He kissed her, and I swallowed, fighting off the tears that threatened to escape from my eyes.I was sitting right there, waiting for him to come home, only for him to walk through the door with Talia, my best friend.I had only regained my sight and hearing a few hours earlier, thinking it would be a surprise for him when he came home.I had been deaf and blind after an emergency C-section a month and a half ago, and when I was given medicine that I was allergic to, I ended up losing my eyesight and hearing.

•CALEB•"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Mr. Hunter, the CEO of ZenithCore Industries." The MC announced.I stood at the head of the conference table with my hands clasped loosely in front of me and let the applause settle before speaking.There were fifty faces of board members, investors, senior executives, people whose opinions moved markets and shifted power.The media team was seated near the entrance, taking pictures, and recording the meeting. "Thank you," I finally answered. "I want to begin by saying that this is not a role I sought under circumstances I would have chosen. My wife's condition has been one of the most painful experiences of my life, and I want the board to know that everything I have done over these past weeks has been done with her recovery at the forefront of my mind."They all nodded. Everyone knew about Isolde's condition. The news was all over the newspapers and TV channels after our first visit to consult a doctor."Since stepping in as acting CEO

•ISOLDE• I could hear Sylvan crying, but I was losing a lot of blood and couldn't even reach out to him. My hands and feet were weakening. "Sylvan." His name came out as barely a sound. I tried to lift my hand toward him, but I couldn't. "Caleb," I muttered. "Please." My lips were going numb. "Take care of him. He's your son. Whatever I did to deserve this, he did nothing. He is innocent. Please take care of him." "How sad," Talia chuckled. "I told you that Caleb is mine. So, die Bitch." "You never even deserved to be a mother," Caleb sneered, taking Sylvan from me. "He will grow up knowing that Talia birthed him, and not a blind whore." I turned my cheek against the floor and looked at the side door I had almost reached. And I thought of Edan who would wait out there for me and not know I was already gone. The garden beyond was just visible, the stone path, the rosebushes I had planted with my own hands three months before Sylvan was born. I had planned to plant more in th

•KAELEN•The park was quiet at six in the morning, which was the only reason I was running there. There were no board members, and no photographers stationed outside the building hoping to catch me leaving for a morning meeting. It was just the path, the trees, and the sound of my own breathing.I was two kilometers in when my cell phone buzzed against my wrist.I glanced at the screen. It was my assistant, Roman.I slowed down to a walk and answered. "This better be worth it," I sighed. "Enzo Moretti is selling the Vacheron again," Roman answered. "The golden one. There's an auction this afternoon at the Ellison House. It starts at two."I stopped walking.The Vacheron Constantin golden pocket watch had surfaced twice in private sales over the past four years, and both times I had missed it. Once because I was in Singapore closing a deal that couldn't wait, and once because the seller had pulled out at the last minute.I wasn't missing it a third time."Arrange the car," I answere

•ISOLDE•After a long 30-minute drive, Caleb and I finally arrived at the restaurant. We were actually going on a double date with a potential investor in my company. In my previous life, I missed the opportunity of identifying him earlier, and he ended up investing in another rival company. But now that I was reclaiming my life and refusing to let things slide as I did before, I knew how I was going to speak with him. "I have a friend who wants to meet you," Caleb informed me when we walked inside the restaurant. "I want him to know the woman I am marrying before attending our engagement party." I smiled as he led me to a table near the window. Though my stomach turned at his touch on my skin, I didn't want it to be obvious. I swallowed the lump in my throat and forced myself to relax a bit. I kept my handbag on my lap, refusing to let the velvet box out of my sight. Caleb sat down and ordered drinks for us while our lunch was being prepared. And after a few minutes, Caleb's fr
