All Chapters of The Enemy's Deal: It's More Than Just a Contract: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

The few days spent in the southern Waterfall Pack were awesome for both Valerie and Audrey. For Ariel, it was a stressful one; she had to deal with work as well as help with the planning of the festival.Although Valerie and Audrey helped out, they spent most of their time visiting places and having fun. They met with other Alphas' daughters; most of them were from the southern hemisphere so they did not know her as the Luna of the Fire Pack, which was a good one.Valerie met Claire, Arden's twin. She recognized Valerie which was a surprise to her."Arden told me a lot about you," she told Valerie. "It's good to finally meet you in person.""It's good to meet you too, Claire. I only heard about you some days ago.""Let me guess," Claire said. "Ariel told you about me." Valerie nodded. "I knew it. Arden would never talk about me. He doesn't love me. Only Ariel does."Valerie smiled. "Maybe he does.""Enough of Arden. How are you? How are you enjoying the Fire Pack? Leonard is not bully

Valerie and Ariel left the southern Waterfall Pack a day after the festival, leaving Audrey behind. They did not stop by at the northern Waterfall Pack but went straight to the Fire Pack with Arden.They got to the Fire Pack and Valerie returned to the Alpha's mansion through the main gate with Ariel. They headed straight to Valerie's room. Ariel helped her unpack, before she left.With Valerie left alone, she got bored. She decided to go through the pictures on her phone. Valerie scrolled through a few and then dropped her phone.Maybe she should call Diana, she thought. They can meet up at their usual place.Valerie placed a call through to Diana who picked up almost immediately."Hey, it's been a while," Diana said. "Are you good? I got back yesterday, came to the Alpha's mansion to see you but no one knew who you were."How are they supposed to know her? Valerie thought."I work directly with the Alpha," Valerie lied.It wasn't a total lie, because she does work for the Alpha as h

"Leonard?" Ariel called. "When did you get back?""Long enough to know that you kept my wife away from me."Ariel chuckled. "I do not want her to feel bored.""I guess you don't," Leonard answered. "And why is she so quiet? What have you done to my wife?""She's just surprised to see you," Ariel said, nudging Valerie slightly.Valerie blinked. She had been quiet since she saw him, and a lot had been running through her mind."Leonard is talking to you," Ariel whispered."Hi," Valerie waved slightly."Ariel, you can go get your car. She's coming with me."Ariel nodded. She held Valerie's right hand. "See you tomorrow." Valerie nodded but said nothing. "I'm leaving."Ariel left and Leonard opened the car door. "Come in."Valerie took a few short steps. She took a deep breath, walked to the car, and entered. Leonard closed the door and returned to the other side to enter the car."Seat belt," he mumbled."Oh yes," Valerie answered.He started the car and drove off. Valerie thought they w

Valerie groaned. What is Leonard thinking about?"When did I say that?""You were mumbling. I thought you meant..."Valerie rolled her eyes. "Just tell me where my room is so I can leave.""When you go outside, the first room on the right.""The first room on the right?" Valerie mumbled. Isn't it locked?"The room is locked," she answered."Yes it is," Leonard said. "You can...""How am I supposed to..."Leonard sighed. "Just look up and you will find the key."Valerie nodded. "Thank you. And good night.""Good night my love," he said with a smile.Valerie left the room and headed to the room she was supposed to sleep in. She found the key where he said it was.Valerie took the key, opened the door, and walked in.The room was decorated in blue just like she loves it. She nodded in satisfaction.She went on to take her bath, got dressed in her pyjamas, and then lay on the bed to sleep. She realised she had left her phone in Leonard's room.Valerie wanted to leave the phone in his roo

"I am not doubting you," Leonard answered. "But I need to keep you safe."Valerie did not believe that Leonard intended to keep her safe, but she said nothing.Diana is a good person. She is certain about that. But she is still angry that he insisted on investigating her even when she said no.She did not say anything to him, nor did she look at him."Are you angry?" He asked, but Valerie ignored her. "You don't have to be. I am just looking out for you."Valerie shook her head. "No, you are not.""I am," Leonard answered. "Why would you even say that?""I told you not to investigate her. Diana is a good girl. She...""I never said she wasn't," Leonard cut her short.Valerie frowned. "Then why do you insist on investigating her?""Because those you trust can betray you."Valerie groaned. "Can? That doesn't mean they will, right?"Leonard stared at her. Why does Valerie not want to understand that he is trying to keep her safe? Why is she insisting that he shouldn't investigate her? H
