All Chapters of The Enemy's Deal: It's More Than Just a Contract: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

"She isn't even saying anything," one of the maids snapped. "She must be guilty.""She is not," Diana insisted."Why are you even supporting her, Diana?" Bella asked A heated argument ensued between Diana and the other maids as Diana tried to defend Valerie and herself."Enough!!!" Valerie yelled.She was tired of their unnecessary argument and wanted nothing but silence. The ladies stared at her in surprise and confusion; they had not expected Valerie to speak up that way."Can you all stop arguing?" She mumbled. "I did not get here through connection and I have no plans to stay here for long."Bella scoffed. Were they supposed to believe that? Valerie wasn't the first to claim that but in the end, they ended up trying to seduce the Alpha or the Beta.Valerie could see the unbelief in their eyes, and though she would have loved to explain her mission to them, to prove that she wasn't there to stay, she knew it would only put her in trouble."I don't care if you believe me or not, b

Valerie woke up feeling energised and ready for her morning routine. Although she doesn't know what to do, she is ready for whatever task is given to her. She had taken her bath and got dressed in the only dress she had brought with her. While she waited for Diana or anybody to show up at her door, she quickly went through her plans again. She had thought of something new at midnight and was happy she had written it down. She heard a knock on the door and she quickly hid her book. "Who is that!" She asked, standing up. "Diana," she heard. Valerie opened the door and Diana walked in. "Good morning. Did you have a good night's rest?" Valerie smiled. "Yes, I did. Thank you." "I see you are dressed in a dress already," Diana said and Valerie nodded. "Well, you might want to change into this, because..." She stared at Valerie who furrowed her brows. Did something happen? Is something going on? "The Alpha wants you to be the one to serve him breakfast." "Are you joking?" Valerie a

Valerie left the office, with so much going on in her mind. Why does she feel like the Alpha doesn't want to help her and yet he doesn't want to reject her outright? She met Diana who was waiting for her outside the building. Diana stood up from the bench on which she was sitting. "You are out." "Yes, I am. Were you waiting for me?" Diana nodded. "I know you don't know the way yet. Do not want to leave you stranded." Valerie smiled. "Thank you." "You are okay, right? You looked worried when you came out." "I'm fine. Thank you." "I will send you back to the Alpha's mansion then." They went to the mansion together, with Diana starting a ransom conversation to break the silence that was lingering between them. Valerie only answered a few of them; maybe she was lost in her own thoughts. They got to the mansion and

Arden went into the house and Leonard returned to his own mansion. On his way, he could not help but think about what had happened to warrant a sudden meeting.It's been two months since he last visited them. He had only spoken to a few people on the phone to check on their activities and everything had been running smoothly.Leonard shrugged. He will find out tomorrow.He took his bath, changed into something comfortable, and then lay down on his bed to sleep. Finding it difficult to sleep, he decided to take a stroll or perhaps review some of Pack's documents he had left when he traveled.Leonard headed to his library, which was closer to Valerie's room. He had always made use of the library if he didn't want anyone to know he was around or get disturbed by anyone; yet they thought he hardly used it.Leonard did not use the staircase. He used the secret door and was in the library in a few minutes. He brought out some documents from the locker and began to revi

The drive to the ship harbor was surprisingly a short one. Bryan said nothing to Valerie during the trip; he only stole glances at her, which she knew but said nothing about. The car finally stopped and Valerie breathed a sigh of relief; there had been an awkward silence between them. She stepped out of the car, clutching her bag tightly to her body. Bryan stepped out too and went to open the car booth. "These are for you," he pointed at the food in the booth. "Beta Arden specifically instructed that I hand them over to you." Valerie furrowed her brows. Why would he give her food? She did not ask for that. Bryan smiled. "He said at a time like this, it's a good thing if food is the least of your Pack's problems." Valerie nodded. She had not thought about that though. A lot of houses have been destroyed including their belongings, and might not even have something to eat. It's nice of Arden to think about her Pack and offer them food. "Not only that," Bryan continued. "He sent s
