Chapter 49
Angela
The sun shone brightly through the slightly closed window and I forced my eyes open. The room that was previously dimly lit the night before was so bright I could barely keep my eyes open. I stretched my body on the mattress before I placed my feet on the dirty floor.
I turned to see Reina still sleeping soundly beside me and just like that, I remembered everything that had happened within the past twenty four hours. I kissed her on the forehead, she said some incoherent words that I found funny.
My brain froze and I panicked. I picked up my phone to check the time and see if I was late to take Reina to school but then I soon realized it was only six in the morning.
I guess we’ll be having early mornings for the next few weeks. Before I could get into the bathroom, I heard some ruckus downstairs and a knock on my door.
I opened the door to two strange women smiling at me.
“Hello,” I couldn’t even find any other words to tell them.
“Hi. We need to clean the room,” one of them responded.
At the same time, Mason came out of his room.
“You can clean here for now,” he pointed to his room. “I’m sure Reina is still asleep in there,”
“Ah, yes, the two women turned and walked into the room Mason had pointed to. “Thanks,” I told him.
“It’s not a big deal,”
“Alpha Mason, right?”
He laughed. “Please, call me Mason. I prefer that. Let my pack members be the only ones to call me Alpha Mason. It gives me the chill when someone else does.”
“Ooh, I started but stopped. “Did you call the cleaners?”
He squinted his eyes as he stared at me intensely.
“You’ve given up hope on him, right? I would too if I were you,” he suddenly said.
I was about to ask him what he meant when I heard another ruckus coming from downstairs along with Darius’ voice.
Before I could control my feet, I found myself running down the stairs towards Darius. I was happy to see him and was stupidly shameless about that. Wasn’t I avoiding him days ago? What changed?
“What’s going on?” I managed to force the words out of my mouth rather than the ‘you’re finally here that I wanted to say so badly.
“What does it look like?” He asked grudgingly.
I looked around to see more people cleaning up, and changing some of the furniture as well. Some locked rooms downstairs were already opened and being cleaned.
“Did you bring them here? When did they get here?”
He looked at me, and opened his mouth slightly but stopped.

Chapter 49
“I’m sure they didn’t fly here,” Mason sassed from behind me.

As he walked closer to Darius, I moved back. He whispered something to him with a smirk on his face but Darius rather had a frown still etched on his face.
“Fine!”
He groaned.
“See you around, Angela, Mason waved at me and I waved back
Both Darius and I were silent. Neither of us said a word but continued staring at those people working. Each time my eyes glided to his, I almost begged for him to look at me but he didn’t. His eyes were focused on those men.
“Do you still hate me?” I suddenly asked. I bit down on my tongue to stop th the question but it was too late. I didn’t even mean to ask that. It was a thought that slipped out.
That made him look at me and maybe 1 stopped hating myself because I asked that question.
His eyes held many answers that his mouth didn’t open to give.
I wish I could read him so easily.
*Depends on your definition of hate,” he finally answered after what seemed like an hour but was just a minute or two.
“About what happened…
He raised a finger. “Not today, Angela,”
“Then, when?”
“I don’t know. I just don’t want to hear it. You’re trying to make up excuses and it wouldn’t make a difference,
“It would make every difference if you trust me. I’m being accused wrongly,”
“By who?” He spat.
I took a deep breath. He was the one accusing me wrongly. He was the one who had refused to hear my side of the story. F was the one who threw me out of his house because Daisy couldn’t stand me.
“Answer this, Angela. Did you or did you not try to run away from the pack?”
1 balled up my fist. “yes, I tried to run away but it’s not the way you thought,”
He shook his head as he smirked. “I’m busy, I don’t have the time for chitchat. Is Reina ready for school?”
“Can we talk about us first?”
He laughed bitterly. “Me and you both know there was no us and still no us. I already told you, that Reina is the only tie that binds us. Let’s focus on her,”
“Did you come back to do all these because of the message I sent to you?”
“What message?” He asked.
“I
ve a paper to Azalea to give you
He looked clueless for a second but then realization hit him.

Chapter 49
“I tore it. I didn’t bother to read it.”
“Why?” I asked. I was so close to tears.
“Because I’m sure it wasn’t something important. Was it not?” He asked nonchalantly.
I stared at him for a few seconds. I could feel the tears prickling at the back of my eyes. He was really acting like the ashole
that he was.
“It was important to me even though it wasn’t important to you
One of the cleaning guys came to ask him about the key to a room. He told them he would fetch it for them later.
Then, why are you here! Don’t you have a mansion to laky with?” I asked angrily.
This is my house. Angela. I have every night to be here. Moreover, I’m not here for you. I’m here for Reina. I don’t want to wake up tomorrow to discover you ran from the pack again with another man and my daughter,”
“What?” I asked bitterly. What does he take me for? A slut?
“I would rather die than allow you to leave, his eyes searched mine. With my daughter.
