Semua Bab OFF LIMITS: FAKE DATING THE ICE KING: Bab 21 - Bab 30

THELMA’S POV Rhys was acting really strange since I met him outside the house. How completely avoided having any kind of eye contact with me, and I could tell that he was hiding something from me. I knew that I wasn’t certain, but I heard a female voice outside, and that made me hurry to the door shortly before he came in. “Rhys?” I called him after he gave me the cup of coffee he made, but he refused to answer me, drifted away by his thoughts.“Rhys!” I called him for the second time, and he managed to give me a response after he came back to reality. “Are you okay? Something seems to be bothering you.” “No! I mean, yes! I am very fine!” He wasn’t sure of what he was supposed to say to me, and at that time, I could see that he was very nervous. “Don’t you like it?” He asked when he saw my face after I had tasted the coffee he made. “It’s too bitter, Rhys.” I complained, handing over the cup to him. “I am so sorry about that. I will just add some sugar.” He grabbed the cup fro

THELMA’S POV Brian was very excited that I had agreed to go with him as if I was left with any other choice. But none of his attempts to prove to me that he was a gentleman worked. I could see right through his smiles, and I knew that he was definitely no good for any woman, not to talk of me. His entire existence was reeking of arrogance and pride, and he couldn’t even help himself. I thought about several ways to escape from him, but each time I remembered what was at stake, I grunted in annoyance. “I am so glad that you agreed to go out with me, Thelma. I promise that we will have a lot of fun! I am super rich, as you can see! I am so excited!”“Yeah. Like I had any choice.” I whispered. “Did you say something?” Brian asked while he was still driving, and I had to lie to cover up my irritation. “I said I am happy that we're going out with you as well.” “Really?!” He waited to hear more, but I was done talking. I couldn’t say any other word that I didn’t mean. I was just hop

THELMA’S POV The sight of the Luna approaching forced me up from my seat. I didn’t even need anyone to tell me who she was. Kingston was right; she was very beautiful and sophisticated, but I doubted if she could be equal to me because I was way younger than she was. “My love! I am so glad that you are back! I was almost thinking that you were going to spend another day on your adventure.” “Never! I would never spend another day away from you, my love. I was getting bored with all the places we were going to.” The Luna moved to the Alpha, who got up from his seat and wrapped his arms around his wife. They kissed passionately as though I wasn’t right there in their presence. “I have missed you, Tara.” Kingston hugged his wife again before he turned to look at me. I was still standing right there, looking so small between the couple who were head over heels in love with each other. “Who is this lovely lady we have here?” Tara asked, staring at me with so much curiosity, but ther

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR RHYS’ POV “Is everything alright, Sir? Do you know the children?” The lady asked, but I couldn’t find any response to give to her. She moved closer after she observed that I was on the edge. “Is there a problem, Sir?” “I have to go! Thank you!” I sped off to the direction she had pointed, increasing my speed within a few seconds. Halfway to get out of the park, I spotted one of Dave’s toys on the floor, and my heart started to beat faster. Several thoughts ran through my head; I prayed that none of them was going to come to reality. After I picked up the toy from the floor, I looked around until I saw a car that was about to zoom off. “Hey! Stop! Stop right there!” I called out to the driver, but the windows were closed, and the car had already started to move. I ran after it at once, and luckily, there was another car right on time to block it from making any other movement. “Dave?! Dave?!” I looked into the car, and as soon as I saw Dave seated comfortabl

THELMA’S POV Rhys had an unpleasant look on his face, but it wasn’t like I was expecting him to smile after seeing the way Anton was holding my hands. I didn’t even check to know if he was around for a while until I heard the sound of the car approaching. “Dave? I think you should go in and take your bath. I, Dave, come make you something to eat, okay?”“Okay, Mummy!” Dave ran into the house, and I was glad that I had already averted that particular situation of my son seeing the awkward drama between the two men who wanted me. “Thelma? Is everything okay?” Rhys asked without taking his eyes off Anton, who was still looking at him. “Welcome, Rhys. This is my boss, Anton. I don’t think I have officially introduced you two.” I paused for a few seconds before I continued. “Anton? Meet Rhys…” I wanted to continue, but I wasn’t sure of who I was going to tell him Rhys was. We had not yet defined our relationship, and I wasn’t about to put myself in a tight situation by telling Anton
