Leon Keith

I looked at the ring and sighed. I just broke up with my girlfriend of 8 years last month because she cheated on me with one of my friends from highschool. Apparently they both already have an affair for 3 years and I never even once got suspicious that she cheated on me.

I was going to propose to her on her birthday which is in 2 weeks but she told me everything and ended the relationship. I thought she was the one, I thought she's going to be my wife and the mother of my kids.

I stood up straight and threw the ring to the ocean.

My phone rang and I took it out of my pocket. I pressed the green button right away since it's my dad.

"Hello." I answered as I made my way back to my car.

"Where are you? Jack told me that you didn't come to the restaurant today." He asked in a worried tone.

"I'm going there now, why?"

"I just want to talk to you but I'm already on my way back home."

"I'll go there then, I'll see you in 20 minutes." I said as I opened my car door and got inside.

"Okay." He ended the call and I drove toward my parents house. I tried not to think about my ex anymore because I don't think it's worth it to think about her. I mean I'm still sad but I need to get over it fast.

When I arrived in front of my parents house, their butlers greeted me and I gave them a polite nod before entering the house. I saw my dad sitting on the living room reading something on his iPad.

"Hello son, come and sit here." He said as he put his iPad away and took off his glasses.

"Is everything okay?"

"Leon.. do you want a glass of smoothie?" I heard my mom asking me from the kitchen.

"No, thanks." I answered as I sat down in front of my dad.

"What's going on?" I asked him as I leaned my body fully to the sofa.

"Are you free tomorrow?" He asked in a careful tone and that made me a little suspicious.

"Why?"

"Because I want you to join us for brunch tomorrow."

"Brunch? Where?"

"Lisa's restaurant." He said as he turned to see my mom brought 3 glasses of purple smoothies.

"Why? Cody's back?" I asked because Cody, my cousin, lives in London to study and Lisa is his older sister.

"No, I wanted to introduce you to my close friend, Pierce."

"Uhmm okay.." I said and I turned to see my mom putting a big glass of smoothie in front of me.

"Mom, you can drink it. I'll pa-"

"I know that you've been drinking a lot lately, Leon." She said as she sat down beside me. She looked at me sadly and I sighed.

"You lost a lot of weight too." She's not wrong.

"I'm fine, mom." I said and I turned to my dad again.

"What time?"

"Around 10.30 tomorrow." He said and I nodded.

"Okay." I said as I got up from the sofa. I'm planning to go back to my restaurant first to check some things and then I will go back to my condo.

"He has a daughter and I want you to.. get to know her." My whole body froze when my dad said that. I turned to him and then turned to my mom. She gave me a light nod and I looked at them both disbelief.

"I'm 26 years old and I don't need you two to arranged marriage me with someone. I just got out from a crazy relationship of 8 years and I can't just.. I can't jus-" I sighed as I sat back down on the sofa.

"Leon, you should meet her first and besides we won't force you if you and her don't get along well." My dad said and I ran my hands through my hair completely confuse.

"Here.. her name is Ivory Evans." My dad said as he gave me his iPad with her picture. Just by seeing the picture, I can tell that she's quite arrogant. Shiny blonde hair, red lips, long silk dress that shows a lot of skin and gold jewelries sitting beautifully on her neck.

She's beautiful but not exactly my type. A woman like her will be handful, you need extra care and I don't like it. It's pretty obvious that she's the opposite of my ex-girlfriend.

I like simple and independent women. I don't like when I have to worry too much towards my girlfriend because I have my own sets of problems that I need to take care of. I need someone who can stand on her own feet instead of leaning 100% to me and giving me a headache most of the time.

"I don't think I will like her." I said as I give my dad's iPad back.

"We won't force you but please join our brunch tomorrow." My mom said and I turned to her.

"Mom.. but.."

"Please.." She begged me as she held my hand.

"Fine." I said and she squealed happily. She turned to my dad and he nodded. I got up from the sofa.

"I'm going back to the restaurant."

"Very well. Please dress nicely tomorrow, Leon." She said and I nodded. I left my parents house and got into my car. I can't believe that I'm agreeing to this.

I started the car and drove out from my parent's house.

My five-year-old daughter was dying in the ICU, her heartbeat replaced by the continuous, electronic scream of a flatline. I gripped her cold hand, my throat sealed shut by a terror so absolute I couldn't even cry out. I dialed my husband Grayson's private number, the one reserved only for me and his assistants. He declined the call instantly. A second later, a text buzzed against my palm: "In a meeting. Do not disturb. Stop calling." Five miles away, Grayson was at a luxury gala, adjusting his silk tie and laughing with Belle Escobar. He told her I was just being "dramatic" and using our daughter's "fever" as an excuse to avoid the event. He had no idea Effie's heart had already stopped. When I finally reached our penthouse, soaked from the rain and carrying Effie's small socks in a plastic bag, Grayson didn't even look at me. He snapped at me for ruining the hardwood floors and asked if I'd left Effie with the nanny just to "feel sorry for myself." Three days later, while I buried our daughter in a small, lonely ceremony, Grayson was at the Hamptons. Belle posted a photo of him golfing with the caption: "A mental health day with the boys." He didn't even attend the funeral, but he returned home demanding I clear out Effie's room to make a study for Belle's son. The injustice burned through me until there was nothing left. I swallowed a handful of sleeping pills, desperate to join my daughter. But instead of the darkness, I woke up to blinding lights and the scent of Grayson's expensive cologne. I was standing in a ballroom, wearing a blue silk dress I had already burned. Above me, a banner read: "Happy 5th Birthday Kaiden & Effie." I was back, exactly one year before the tragedy. This time, I wasn't going to be the grieving wife. I was going to be their worst nightmare.

I arrived at the hotel with Julian's favorite takeout, ready to surprise my fiancé before our big merger. But the moment I swiped the keycard, the silence of the hallway felt heavy and wrong. Inside, a red-soled stiletto lay on the marble floor-the same one I'd watched my best friend Lila try on at Saks last week. Through the cracked bedroom door, I watched Julian's back arch as Lila looked me straight in the eye and smiled, wrapping her legs tighter around him to mock my heartbreak. I fled to the penthouse to hide, only to find Grafton, Julian's "crippled" brother, waiting in the dark. To my horror, the man who was supposed to be paralyzed stood up from his wheelchair, gripped my chin with cold fingers, and forced me to sign a contract that gave him control of my family's shares. He knew about my mother's secret medical bills and used them to buy my silence, effectively turning my life into a calculated game of corporate chess. The betrayal tasted like acid, and the injustice of it all burned in my throat. My fiancé was a liar, my best friend was a thief, and the man now controlling my fate was a predator who had been faking his disability for years. I couldn't understand how everyone I trusted had turned out to be a monster. I was trapped between a man who cheated on me and a man who wanted to own me, with no way out and no one to turn to. But when Julian came looking for me, Grafton didn't hide; he stood tall, looming over me with a possessive glint in his eyes. "Help me destroy Julian," I rasped, realizing that to survive the Faulkner men, I had to become the most dangerous player of them all.

For seven years, I drank the bitter tonic my fiancé, Alpha Adrian, gave me, believing it would cure my "wolfless" defect. I was wrong. It was poison. He wasn't trying to heal me; he was keeping me weak so he could replace me with my foster sister, Ariel. When the fire consumed the Alpha's Wing, I was trapped under a burning beam, my legs crushed. Adrian kicked down the door. I reached out to him, screaming for help. But he didn't look at me. He looked at Ariel, who was lying on the floor in a silk nightgown. He scooped her up, cradling her like she was the only thing that mattered. I begged him not to leave me. Instead of helping, he used his Alpha Command on me, his voice booming with supernatural weight. "Stay put! I'll be back for you!" It was a lie. He used his power to freeze me in the inferno and left me to burn alive. I survived, only to watch him publicly reject me for her the next day, with my own father's blessing. They called me a "genetic dead end." They thought I would crawl away and die in shame. I didn't. I limped up the mountain to the Neutral Lands to find the one man everyone fears-the exiled Alpha, Garth Morgan. "I have the Gamma Bloodline Scroll," I told the massive figure emerging from the shadows. "I don't want your gratitude," Garth growled, his eyes like storm clouds. "I'm not here for gratitude," I replied, staring him down. "I'm here to make a deal with the devil."
