“Here comes my runaway date” Gabriel said teasingly as I walked closer to him.

“Runaway date indeed, you are crazy Gab” I said as I sat next to him.

“So…..how chuckled.

“There is nothing romantic between me and Xavier” I said and he laughed.

“You won’t believe how hard I’m trying to believe what you just said. But, I trust you” he said and I did not know how to feel about the sarcastic reply.

“Xavier was my Ex, I agree there are times where I get a little bit carried away by whatever is going on, but I know what am doing” I said and he stared at me in silence.

“I just want to make sure that your head is still in the game” he said and I gave a nod.

“I found out recently that Lina was physically abusing my son Derrick” I said and het stared at me in shock.

“What !” he said in shock.

“It hurt to see him in that condition, but more than anything else in the world I wish to gain custody of my son soon and put an end to this game” I said and he smiled.

“You are a strong woman Rachel’ he said holding my hand from across the table.

“You are a strong man Gabriel, it takes a strong man to pick up the pieces of his life after what transpired in the past” I said and he sighed.

“I guess you are right, you are a beautiful woman Rachel, I find myself interested in you” he said and I stared at him speechlessly.

“Gab….” I trailed.

“I’m serious” he said and he looked away calmly.

“You can’t be interested in me,we are business partners” I said and he chuckled.

“Being your business partners should not stop me from wanting you” he said and I smiled.

“Gab” I said as my cheeks was heated in a blush.

“Talking about the business of the day, I just wanted to let you know that we might be going serious with this very soon” he said gesturing towards some files on the table and I raised my eyebrows curiously.

“I don’t grab” I said and read through it.

“This would break him” I said and he chuckled.

“You still care about him Rachel, that would do you no good at the long run” he said and I was silent throughout.

Gabriel offered to drive me home after dinner but I refused and asked my driver to pick me up instead.

“Welcome back miss Anderson” the guard at the door greeted and I gave a nod as I made my way into the mansion.

“Hey babe” Penny waved at me as she ate from the snacks on her plate..

“Hey” I said as I went upstairs to my son’s room to check up on him but was met with an empty room I rushed downstairs with a frown on my face.

“Is everything okay?” Penny asked in concern.

“What’s up. have you seen Damien ?” I asked as I dropped my purse on the opposite chair.

“No, I thought you guys went out together it is not long since I came back from the office” she said and I stared at her in disbelief.

“What did you mean Penny, I went out with Gab. How would I go with him” I asked as my voice broke at the edge.

“I think you should check your father’s room first before raising an alarm” she said and I could detect the worry on her voice.

Penny and I walked I drop to Dad’s room and Dad walked out of the bathroom.

“Dad have you seen Damien ?” I asked and he raised his eyebrows.

“I thought you guys went out together” he said and my jaws literally dropped.

“Why would anyone of you even think that, he was at home and is supposed to be your responsibility, I don’t understand why you guys would think he went out with me” I bursted angrily as my eyes stung with tears

Where is my son.

“Jayden”

“Jay…Jayden!” Lina called as she made her way into his room.

Jayden’s eyes widened in shock as he looked in her direction.

“F***” he cursed under his breath as he got down from the bed and walked over to her.

“What were you thinking” he asked in shock as he walked over to the door and shut it.

“I thought we talked about sneaking into my room like this, have you lost it!” he bursted angrily.

“Yes!”

“Yes I have lost it Jayden. Why can’t we just stop all of this? Baby this thing is beginning to scare me…..what If Xaiver finds out about everything and rips our hearts out?” she asked and he scoffed in anger.

“Stop being ridiculous Lina. We have come too far to think of giving up” he said and she sighed as tears rolled out of her eyes.

“Fine, I just wanted to let your know that I lo his bed calmly.

“Wait what? how did that happen?” he asked in shock.

“I don’t know, they all called me an abuser and that is what is making me even more. confused” she said and Jayden cursed under his breath.

“Calling you an abuser means they know about your issue with Derrick, who the hell got it out!” he bursted angrily.

“I DON’T KNOW JAYDEN !” she said as her voice broke at the edge.

“It is definitely someone who has access to the both of you, I thought we had a problem with Xavier, now this!” he said and she sighed.

“Enemies? I have no enemies except Rachel who thinks ruining my life will give her some sought of peace” Lina bursted angrily.

“Rachel Jayden said frowning.

“What about Rachel ?” Lina asked cluelessly.

“Arc

you that dumb or dumb acting Lina? of course it was Rachel who tipped the media about your issues with Derrick. What better way to frustrate you than ruining what gives you money” Jayden said and Lina gasped in shock.

“That sly witch !” she bursted angrily.

“I told you we should ruin that woman, but no ! for some reason you want us to stay away from Rachel’ Lina said and Jayden sighed.

“Rachel is a billionaire heiress Lina, not some helpless werewolf like Emerald who you took out of the way five years ago. Don’t be ridiculous !” he said and her eyes stung with

tears

“If you are not going to do anything about it, I will do it myself” she said and he chuckled.

“If you end up in trouble, don’t expect me to come save you Lina” he said and she. turned to him.

“Do you even love me or am just a pawn in your stup id game!” she bursted angrily.

“Don’t talk to me in that manner Lina” he said and she stared at him angrily.

“I have lived my entire life trying to please you, gave you everything I have, my b*dy, my support and everything!” she bursted in pain.

“Stop being dramatic Lina” he sighed frowning.

“It was easy for you to sell me into this game with Xavier what is wrong with you” she asked as her voice broke in the edge.

“Everything!”

“Everything is wrong with me Lina, you and I know everything that we have been through together and how much I want to be the Alpha !” he said grabbing her arms. tight.

“Stop it” Lina said in pain.

“You are hurting me please…” she cried as his grip got even more tighter, Deeping his long fingers into her flesh.

“That is the way I have felt for years Lina and you of all people should know how much I hate him!” he said and she gave nods as she cried.

“Everything is going to be okay my love. I’m going to make sure of that Xavier will be six feet under the ground just like his father, I promise you” he said and k*ssed her shoulders.

“What about Rachel ?” Lina asked and he held her face closely.

“We would kill her and it is gonna be so easy trust me” he said and she gasped.

“Really

“Anything for you my love” he said and she chuckled as they locked l*ps again. A noise came from outside the door and they broke away from each other before looking back.

“You closed that door right?” Lina asked in shock.

“Yes, someone was at the door!” he said panicking.

“You think they heard anything?” she asked worriedly.

“I don’t wanna imagine the sh it we just got ourselves in” he said and she rubbed her forehead.

“The question is, who was it at the door?” Lina asked and an uncomfortable silence. filled the room.
