Annalise?
What on earth is she doing here?
“… now,”
she murmurs.
“Remember what you’re told. Meeting here is a risk.”
A man’s voice… but I can’t make much out, it’s too low…
“I know. Everything is going to plan,”
Annalise responds.
I lean closer, wanting to peek inside, but the sound of footsteps makes me quickly back away and round the corner, praying they didn’t hear me.
I peer around after a few moments and see the shadow of a man on the floor.
Who is it?
I hear footsteps and pull back. I can’t risk being seen. I glance around, wondering where to hide, but to my relief, the footsteps are fading, probably heading towards the exit I was planning to take.
Thank the goddess!
I wait a few moments, but hearing the sound of heels, I realise only the man has left. I quickly hurry back the way I had come, quietly exiting through the double doors and swiftly making my way to thefront hall.
My heart is still racing from the near run-in and I’m almost at the front door when I stop, glancing back over my shoulder.
I don’t know if I’ll ever get the chance again…
After a few moment’s hesitation, I hurry back through the crowds until I spot Annalise making her way through the hall back towards the ballroom.
“Annalise!”
I call her when I’m a mere few feet away from her.
She stops in her tracks and turns to look at me.
“What do you want?”
she mutters, glancing around.
I motion with my head to the front doors,
“Come with me,”
I say quietly.
She casts a furtive glance around and from the half of her face that I can see, she doesn’t look pleased, however, it’s obvious she doesn’t want to be seen with me either.
“Fine,”
she mutters following me out.
I walk down the steps, still holding my shoes and bag and we move to the side, plenty of people are out here and everyone is minding their own business.
“What do you want?!”
she hisses,
“Who were you speaking to inside?”
I ask her.
“Who?”
she asks, confused.
“In the storeroom.”
Her face instantly pales and how I wish she wasn’t wearing a mask so I could see her expression, but the shock is soon replaced by a sneer.
“Wouldn’t you like to know… be careful, Zaia, keep pushing your nose into others’ business andonly you will suffer. Ever heard of the saying, curiosity killed the cat? No?”
“Ever heard that a cat has nine lives, no?”
I counter sarcastically. “Answer me Annalise, who were you speaking to?”
“No.”
I didn’t think she would tell me, but it was worth a shot.
I smile coldly and step closer. “Fine. Don’t answer me, but remember, every lie ever told will always be revealed. Tell me, Annalise… Were you really held captive for the last three years, or was it all afa?ade to manipulate Sebastian into believing that I had a hand in it, because we both know that its not true.”
Her chest is heaving as she stares back at me, tight-lipped, and I gauge her reaction.
A wave of cold washes over me and I know I’m right…
It was all one big lie.
SEBASTIAN.
From the moment she stepped into the hall, she took my breath away.
She looked as beautiful as ever, Zaia was always the one that stood out. Even back when other girls fawned over me, she was in her own world, planning her dreams and talking about her ambitions but even then, she won the attention of most.
That girl who became the most important one to me… but it wasn’t meant to be…
Then why, even after I ruined it all, after I cast her aside, is she having this effect on me?
I promised, for her safety, I’ll control my emotions and accept that this is safer, until I find the one behind it.
The moment Atticus Payne went over to her, jealousy reared its ugly head and I wanted to tear her away from him.
She’s alive, she’s ok, and she’s… pregnant.
Valerie’s words flash through my mind and I suddenly feel she lied… is it a coincidence that Zaia isso far along in her pregnancy and the timeline makes it obvious she was pregnant when she left.
I need to talk to her, but the irritating grip Annalise has on my arms reminds me that I need to be careful. Am I really going to fuck up the sacrifice I made to keep her safe just to satisfy my own curiosity?
But if she is… she’s even more vulnerable…
She has consumed my mind all evening, but seeing her so cosied up to Payne makes my blood boil with rage.
Now the bastard’s there, smirking away. For once, he’s alone and without Annalise clinging onto me like a leech. I’m going to take my chance.
I’m about to make my way over to him, but instead, his eyes meet mine and he smirks.
Muttering an ‘excuse me’ to the man beside him, he walks towards me, arrogance and amusementclear on his face.
The man might act pleasant, but he’s a master at hiding his true colours.
“I hope our little disagreement earlier isn’t still on your mind. You don’t seem to be enjoying theparty, Alpha Sebastian,”
he remarks.
I raise an eyebrow. “I’m honoured that you care so much for my enjoyment, however, you need not worry,”
I reply coldly.
He chuckles. “Ah, even on this day you can’t forget our differences. Let’s enjoy the party, shall we?”
This isn’t about our differences. I clench my jaw, refusing to answer him, and he sighs.
“Very well then. I, Atticus Payne, apologise for offending you over your beta’s mistake. It’s just that I am extremely protective of my woman.”
My eyes flash as I look at that smiling face of his, one that is taunting me.
“I never knew you had taken a partner,”
I remark.
He laughs. “You don’t know everything about me, Alpha Sebastian.”
No, I don’t, and I really don’t trust you.
“Seems like it, and you’re about to become a father if we go by the fact that she’s your woman,”
