At the Lynn estate.All the guests except the Bennett family had left. These guys stayed back because Liam told them to stay here for a couple days.But Liam’s words didn’t give Charlotte any peace of mind because Jennifer had been bothering her since morning. She followed Charlotte like a tail and kept asking her about everything, from her dresses to even how her business worked. It was obvious that Jennifer was a smart woman, but Charlotte didn’t like the fact that this woman was putting her nose where it didn’t belong.If not for the fact that they were distant relatives, Charlotte would have probably scolded Jennifer in her face. Because Charlotte was raised in a way to never makes enemies out of relatives, she somehow bore with all the torture Jennifer unintentionally put her through.In a similar way, Kyra had to put up with not one but two annoying souls. Both Viola and James sat in her bedroom and kept talking and talking without the least consideration that Kyra might want to
Viola wanted to enter the Alpha Wolfe car so much, but Kyra didn’t let anyone enter her car. Instead, she told Viola and her family to come in Russell’s new car, the black Audi R8 that Charlotte had gifted to him.When James saw the car, he was slack-jawed. Its engine sound almost gave him an orgasm. He wanted to drive it so badly, but right now, Russell was behind the wheel.“To think Charlotte gave you such a top-end car,” Jennifer’s heart was swimming in the clouds, “you must have made a good first impression. Keep impressing her, and you’ll receive more such precious gifts.”“Brother, take me with you,” James begged.“This is only a two-seater car, James,” Russell reasoned with him. “Viola asked me first, so I’ll take you next time.”“Hmph,” Russell snorted and angrily left for the 10-seater SUV, which Arnold was told to drive.Jennifer, Arnold, and James traveled in this SUV, whereas Viola sat next to Russell in his car. Even though Viola wanted to ride in the Alpha Wolfe car, th
As soon as Viola entered, she was shocked to see Irene there. “Y-You… what are you doing here?!”Irene’s exaggerated reaction made many people turn their heads.Naturally, Irene’s heart skipped a beat. She forced herself to smile before saying, “I work here, ma’am.”Getting called ‘ma’am’ by Jessica’s friend was like music to Viola’s ears. She laughed out loud and patted Irene’s shoulders. “It’s so good to see you here.” She then leaned closer and said in a low voice, “You are really smart. You know my brother has a soft heart, and so you chose to work here. That way,you won’t necessarily lose your job even if you screw up a few times.”Irene’s chin trembled as she controlled herself from pinching and twisting Viola’s nose. (I’m too overqualified for this job, and yet this little chick is telling me that it’s a privilege for me to work here?) Viola’s words were definitely hard to digest for her. Still, she had maintained her smile somehow. This was one of the hardest tasks of being a
James put Charlotte’s words behind and tried to take food from Viola’s plate. She slapped him with her ponytail by spinning her head 90 degrees in a fraction of a second. These siblings made the dinner extra-lively.Charlotte had been trying to put items on Liam’s plate and make him eat items of her choosing. It was her way of showing love by picking items that might be to his liking. She had no time or attention to spare for the Bennett family.The head chef came to meet Kyra and her parents just as they were finishing their dinner. He received praises from both Kyra and Charlotte, but Liam didn’t say much. He had always been a man of few words when it comes to praising others, so this was nothing new.If there was anyone who stayed silent for the most part during the whole dinner, it would be Liam Lynn.Russell was observing and learning from his father-in-law. Even though Liam was the with the highest authority among those present, he didn’t talk much.Charlotte, on the other hand,
Kyra was waiting for Russell.He quickly got out of his car and said, “Let me explain. It’s not as bad as you think.”“Paying the bill for eating in your own hotel isn’t bad enough for you?” Kyra snapped straight away. “Even the staff members are allowed to eat for free once every day, but you can’t? I don’t even need to look at the contract anymore to tell how shitty it is. Regan got you good. He got US good because YOU were foolish!” Something stirred in her stomach, making her touch her abdomen. “Bring the contract papers to my room. I’ll see if there’s anything we can still do to piss Regan off.” Saying that she rushed inside because she felt the need to go to the bathroom. (Did I eat too much at the hotel?)Russell put his hand on top of his head. “I told Liam, so I thought I don’t have to tell the others because the conditions are not in my favor, but I should have at least told Kyra earlier about this contract. Now, she’s going to eat me over this. I can feel it.”Though Kyra h
After the nightmarish bathroom session of bleeding, Kyra came out while walking slowly and carefully.Russell wasn’t present outside because she had told him to leave, not wanting to look vulnerable before him.Kyra then called her mother and told her about the abnormal bleeding and the severe stomach ache.Charlotte told her that bleeding during pregnancy would be common and that Kyra would also feel back pain as the baby in her belly grew. Still and all, Kyra couldn’t calm herself down until she called for a doctor.While she waited for the doctor to come, she didn’t take any medication. One of the maids, Dolly, told Russell about Kyra having stomach pain, so he hurried to her room with salt water and told her to drink it.She tried to take a sip but then spewed it straight away. “How much salt did you mix in this glass of water?”“Just four spoons,” Russell said worriedly. “You should drink it. It will help you. The salts will help control the acidity in your stomach.”“I know that
A few minutes after Viola was taken away, Russell came out of the estate, driving the Alpha Wolfe car.He stopped the car outside and looked around. “Where did she go?” He looked at the gate guard who was sleeping soundly. “Hey!” Russell yelled and woke up the guard. He came running to the car with his spine bent forward to look humble. “Did Viola go inside?”“You mean, your sister, sir?” The guard looked clueless.Russell got out of the car and went back into the estate and checked the room allocated to Viola. She wasn’t there. He checked other rooms, too, but couldn’t find her. “Where the hell did she go? This estate is too big for me to check every corner, and I don’t have the time. Don’t tell me, she went to the hospital?” He called William’s mobile.William was sleeping, but he woke up and answered the call. “There are cameras installed everywhere, so come to the backside of the estate. If we see the footage we’ll know.”Soon, both of them went to the surveillance room and checke
“Brother Tiger,” Marcus quickly answered the call, “why did you call me?”“Did anyone bring a 16-year-old girl to your base?” a hoarse voice asked from the other side. “She’s wearing a blue gown, and she has a mole on the right side of her neck.”Marcus frowned. “No, boss. Why?”“If she’s brought there, then keep her safe and send her back to where she came from as quickly as you can,” Tiger growled from the other side. “Otherwise, you’ll be fucked.” The call ended.Marcus’ heart started beating fast. “What’s the background of that girl? Who did that piece of shit Dylan bring to my base?”Marcus hurriedly came to Chamber One to meet the client, but he saw Dylan and came straight to him. He told the person in the next seat to pick another seat, and that person had to leave.Marcus sat down next to his old friend whom he used to pickpocket with long ago. Together, they made quite a team and stole things from people in a very organized manner. Even though both of them had promised each o
