LOGINAlyssa My chest ached with each cloth I packed. I knew that Duncan wasn’t going to watch me leave the house, he made it very clear that I had to remain home. But this place no longer felt like home to me, it felt choking so I had to take matters into my own hands. I didn’t care about what father said about coming home, I was going to face whatever situation they were in with them, that was my Pack anyways. I was finally done packing my bag and I slid it under my bed. I couldn’t risk Sara and Laura seeing it, or even anyone else till I had a solid plan.I paused to think, and then an idea crossed my head, a very risky one.The only way I would leave this place without Duncan’s permission is with the help of his guards. It sounded impossible because I knew how loyal they were to Duncan. But at this point, anything was worth a try.I walked back downstairs, looking calmer this time around. The guards immediately straightened the moment they saw me.
Alyssa “What did you just call me?” He asked hoarsely while holding my neck firmly. But I wasn’t afraid to repeat it because I meant it.Duncan was acting like a coward and it was about time he stopped and started acting like the man he claimed he was.“I think you heard me clearly, you act like a coward Duncan. Prove me wrong and don’t act like one today.” My tone was mean and daring but that was exactly what I wanted. To push him to the edge and finally get him to speak. There was a lot in his head and I wanted to hear it all without him holding back.He keeps circling back to the fact that he’s protecting me, at least he’d tell me what exactly he’s trying to protect me from.It was starting to look like a huge lie to make excuses for his behavior while I kept my head down because of the danger that might not even exist.How long do I want to continue living like that? I needed answers and explanations and now that i
AlyssaDuncan made Jessica drive me home after my protests that I wanted to follow him to the station.I wanted to personally witness what was going to happen with Lyra but he blandly refused.“Why can’t I come with you? She wanted to attack me, if anything I think I should be present during her hearing.” I protested.“Her trying to attack you is the main reason why you shouldn’t be there. Your presence there is only going to make things more dramatic. And you need rest, go home, Alyssa.” Duncan said sternly. “I think Duncan is right Alyssa, you just went through a lot today and I think you need rest. He can always update us.” Jessica said gently rubbing my hands. I hated to be the one to disagree or seem dramatic but she was already in handcuffs so what more could she possibly do to me?This was a control with Duncan and I didn’t want him to win this time around. He doesn’t get to tell me where and where I can’t be.But I seemed like I was going to have to let this one go because
Alyssa The office was so quiet, too quiet that I could hear my heartbeat. I knew I looked like a total mess at the moment but I didn’t really care.Which made me realize that I care for Duncan more than I actually wanted to admit. When I saw Lyra approach his office with that cup, I remember the ache in my chest I felt.My heart really felt like it was about to get ripped out of my chest at the thought of it.The room was tense, all eyes on Lyra as she stood at the center, Duncan standing in front of her, holding the coffee. “Don’t tell me you actually believe what she’s telling you about me? She’s lying because she’s jealous!” Lyra lay frantically. Panic was clear in her eyes, and that already gave her out to a point. But she could prove me and my evidence wrong right now if she just took the coffee. “I hope you know how huge these supposed accusations are. And if you know that you truly mean no harm and this is a scheme to sabotage you or something, then drink the coffee you b
AlyssaI was slowly losing my patience not just with work but with everything around me. I was easily irritated and it was so easy to set me on edge. I could barely concentrate on anything. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get Alyssa out of my head.I planned on staying home because I really needed time to clear my head but I knew she’d be home and I didn’t want to have to be in the same space with her. I knew she hated me now, and it was so obvious and I didn’t even blame her. She really had the right to hate me after everything.But if she could take time to understand what I’ve been saying, she’ll actually see things from my perspective.But it didn’t seem like that was going to happen so I needed to stop wishing. If only she knew how much this affected me. She wasn't the only one suffering here, I was too. Nothing hurts more than wanting someone so bad, yet you have to protect them by staying away.Even when your heart calls out to them. Steve sat across from me, with di
Alyssa By the time Jessica stepped on the brakes at the front of the office, it felt like my soul had already left my body at that moment.I knew letting Jessica drive was a terrible decision to begin with but I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt. I thought it would be better than waiting for an Uber since we didn’t have that much time on our side. But I was totally wrong, I should have just called an Uber.What was I even expecting? I doubted whether Jessica had driven herself anywhere recently. She always had drivers waiting to take her wherever she was going, I was confused about how she got out of the house without a driver.I stumbled out of the car with shaky hands. Using both hands to grip the door tightly to help me maintain balance.I couldn’t even see properly at the moment and it wasn’t an over exaggeration. If I moved one bit, I was going to throw up all over the place because my entire system was in knots.Jessica on the other hand seemed very excited, proud e
Chapter 79Duncan Since I stepped in, I barely had any time to myself. And this was exactly what I was trying to avoid. I made sure I cleared all of my meetings so I wouldn't be bothered today but apparently, work with these types of men was unavoidable.Magd
Chapter 78Alyssa“She has a point. Why can’t you admit the fact that she looks good?” Steve added.Duncan gave him a cold glare and he immediately got the hint and stopped talking.“So, are you trying to say I don't look good?” I said in a teasing tone. I already felt confident about myself; I kn
Chapter 75Duncan I finally exhaled slowly; it felt like everything was under control, and I was able to successfully manage the situation.But Alyssa was still unsettled and even though she didn’t say anything yet, I knew something was coming. She stared at
Chapter 73AlyssaThe butler stared at me for a minute, like this was regular information everyone else was aware of, but for some reason, I would never have imagined there was an underground jacuzzi here all this while.I didn’t even know there was an underground section. Maybe this was normal aro
