But we still deserve to be treated well, I know I deserve that. I have been so weak, accepting all the s**t that they do to me each day. But I am tired now, I hope that where I am heading to I get to start fresh. I don't know how long I have walked, but I start to feel unease, as if someone is watching me from somewhere. I look around, but I don't see anyone, adrenaline shoots up inside of me, I begin sweating and my heart pounds so heavily.

The online world seemed to hold its breath as the digital clock struck 00:00. On Zea Production’s official YouTube channel, a two-minute and thirty-second video had just been uploaded. Its title was short yet piercing: THE BETRAYAL – Official Trailer. Within minutes, the view count skyrocketed from thousands to millions, sparking a tidal wave of comments that flooded social media from Jakarta to Cannes.

Sometimes, happiness really is that simple. … Five years passed in the blink of an eye. I rose from an ordinary investment manager at Renaissance Capital to the position of Investment Director. None of it would have been possible without Anne's support. I still remember the global financial crisis last year. The market was in full panic, and many funds rushed to sell off even their best assets just to cut losses. "Don't follow the crowd," Anne said after analyzing the situation. "This is the perfect time for contrarian investing."

“Of course not, it's obviously why I handed it over, because you don't deserve getting your company forcefully taken from you. Let's just say, I'm just feeling overwhelmed. The satisfaction of doing this isn't there, although I was hoping for it. Turns out I still have a soft spot. I need to burn it out.” The corner of my lips lifted as I stared at her. “You're special, you know that?” The words slipped past my mouth before it registered. She is such a softie, but her confidence level is crazy at the same time. You would never even know it's all just a mask. Well, she'll get there. To defeat the wolves, you have to become one, and not only one, but the strongest. “Yes I know I'm special.” Sh

I turned to face Uncle Steven, seeing tears welling in the corner of his eyes. “Let me help you up, kiddo,” he said, stretching his arm out to me. I held onto him and slowly got to my feet, my legs wobbly and unstable like a baby learning how to walk. He guided me to an armchair, and I sunk into it, keeping my gaze fixed on the ground. My focus narrowed to the old rug beneath my feet, an attempt to tether myself to reality and brace myself against the tidal wave of emotions that threatened to overwhelm me and pull me under.

I told him making him look at me blankly so I just simply held both of my hands up in surrender. I turn to my dad to find him smiling from ear to ear beside him is Uncle Damon who also have a big smile on his face. "Sorry?" I say or more like asked "promise it won't happen again" i continue with a uncertain look. It was silent when Unlce Damon spoke "What are you sorry about? You were great, you showed them that no one can underestimate a Mariano even the princess" he says with a frown. I looked at the floor then inhaled a huge amount of breath then lat it out slowly. Looking up I start to explain why, "That was the 10th guy I knocked out in the past 3 days." I say once I looked up. Then the

“Ida would be free to live her life as she chooses, as long as it does not interfere with your duties and responsibilities. If your Luna did not find her mate yet, Ida would have to produce an heir for you both. When you would no longer be fit to rule as Alpha, your heir would be eligible to challenge the beta for the right of ascension.” I growled at this, and Una shot me a scolding look. “You mean we would discard Ida after giving birth to our child?” My voice was bitter, and I was happy that Ida wasn’t present to hear such nonsense spew out of Una’s mouth. The old lady sighed and cupped her chin with a hand.

Maximus moved with purpose, guided by a higher calling that transcended the immediate dangers. As Maximus traversed the labyrinthine paths, the people of Athena, stirred by the whispers of rebellion, began to rally. The discontent that had simmered beneath the surface found a voice, echoing through the narrow streets and hidden corners. The city, once paralyzed by fear, now pulsated with the rhythm of change. Maximus, a lone figure against the backdrop of an uprising, pressed on toward the heart of Athena. The hoodie, a shield against prying eyes, symbolized not only concealment but also the indomitable spirit of those who dared to challenge the oppressive rule.

Jamela held a mischievous smirk on her face before delivering her own ultimatum. "What's in it for me?" She tried bargaining. "Well, I could avoid ripping your throat out," I threatened. "Fair enough. Such a dick," she grumbled. "What was that?" I asked knowingly. "Oh, nothing. What do you want to know about them?" She asked sitting on the ground out of sight. "Everything," I answered. "Well, their leader is a she-wolf. From what I heard, she's pretty badass. She's sort of my hero. Somebody needs to show these male munz-watcher lady gongoozlers how it's done!" She dramatically stated. "Interesting choice of words. What else?" I asked impatiently. "Okay, okay! I heard she's after vengeance. I

He makes a room rearrange itself. I give him one short, polite nod. "Vesper Ashworth." The name hits him. I watch it cross his face in three stages. Recognition first. Then surprise. Then something sharper that has nothing to do with the woman he was trying to place. "Ashworth Trading." He steps closer. "You're the one who's turned down my pack six times this year." "Seven, if you count your Gamma's call this morning." My smile is polite and empty. "I won't be working with your pack, Alpha Kade. Please stop wasting your staff's time."
