Nina:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHave a sweet nap,\u201d I whispered as I tucked in the kids.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finally, I was free and I could go outside to be with Sawyer, the absolute love of my life.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Still, I had to admit I\u2019d been quite upset lately.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sawyer was becoming more and more distant.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He always told me he wasn\u2019t the jealous type, so when I told him that we should take a step forward in our relationship because I couldn\u2019t stay his mistress forever, his response was cold.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He said I was free to find a husband.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He said it with little to no emotion, but afterward, we had sex, so I wondered if it was just his playful way of teasing me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And now, here I was, hastily putting his kids to sleep so I could go be with him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But when I walked out, I stumbled into a rather distasteful scene.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sawyer was holding Madeline by her arms, pulling her so close there was no space left between them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He stared into her eyes, and it looked like he was the one who had initiated this intimate moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTell me,\u201d he insisted, though his gaze lingered more on her lips than on her eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s nothing. Let me go. I need to check on the kids and get ready for lunch. Remember, we\u2019ve been invited by Alpha Ron.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeline\u2019s tone carried no affection toward him. In fact, I knew the truth about their relationship, the deal she\u2019d made.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t let him touch her. They were intimate here and there, but she would always push him away afterward.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I couldn\u2019t understand why a man like him tolerated her tantrums.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maybe because she was popular now. But back then, she wasn\u2019t.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was just his maid, the maid he respected, married, and helped in every possible way, while I remained his mistress.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAhem. The kids have fallen asleep, though. They\u2019re taking a nap. They were tired from playing in the playground,\u201d I said, coughing deliberately to interrupt them and ruin their moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In my head, I told myself I was helping Madeline.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I could tell she didn\u2019t like being held by him. Why would she? He had a mistress.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Shouldn\u2019t she have pushed him away more forcefully?\u00a0<\/p>\n
What was wrong with her?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Why did she have such low self\u2013esteem?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sawyer finally let go of her, but the way he did it, shaking her slightly, made it clear he was upset that she hadn\u2019t\u00a0<\/p>\n

answered his question.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll go get ready,\u201d Madeline said, hastily walking past me to the bedroom.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The bedroom.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was still occupying his bedroom while I stayed in the guest room, the \u2018side room,\u2018 as they called it. It was a constant reminder that I was just the side chick.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCome with me to the office.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment Sawyer asked me to follow him, my hope flickered back to life.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maybe he\u2019d finally realized it was better to be with me than with that arrogant woman.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I smiled and adjusted my top, tugging it down slightly to reveal more of my neckline for his eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then I walked after him to the second floor, to Madeline\u2019s office.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But the moment we stepped inside and I wrapped my arms around him, Sawyer untangled my hands swiftly enough to leave me stunned.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t immediately start anything until I tell you to,\u201d he hissed, turning to face me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then he gently pressed a finger to my shoulder, pushing me away from him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was disrespectful but it was Sawyer. What could I do?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTell me every little detail of what happened while I wasn\u2019t here. Most probably, if there\u2019s a woman involved,\u201d he said sternly, his hands in his pockets.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I straightened my posture and began explaining how I\u2019d joined Madeline in the suite, about the kids\u2018 illness, and how she had been working with different alphas.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then I realized something, I didn\u2019t need to make it sound casual. I could, but maybe I shouldn\u2019t.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd then there was this moment when I realized that they were actually pretty close friends,\u201d I added.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As soon as I said that, I saw Sawyer adjust his shoulders. \u201cAll of them,\u201d I continued, and noticed him frowning.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKeep going,\u201d he urged when he saw me slowing down.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was this girl and I think I know who you\u2019re talking about. It\u2019s her half sister,\u201d I stated.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He looked at me in shock and confusion.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I went on, explaining that her sister had been the one to cause a lot of damage to Madeline.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But before he could feel any sympathy for her, I made sure to strike him with another truth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd then the alphas came over after dinner, and they had a huge argument. Madeline sent me to the room so she could talk to them alone,\u201d I said, trying to sound casual while pretending I was just informing him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo that\u2019s her sister?\u201d he asked, nodding to himself as he paced and rubbed his chin, clearly deep in thought.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I think Alpha Baxter broke it off with her briefly but today I saw her in the guest house, so I guess they\u2019re back together,\u201d I said, clearing my throat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay,\u201d he replied with a shrug. \u201cIs that all?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

By then, I\u2019d finally started to calm my breathing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSomething else happened,\u201d I murmured, and instantly had his full attention again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of the alphas\u2018 fathers came over demanding a DNA test for the babies.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment I said it, I had his attention exactly the way I wanted. He looked shocked and intrigued.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d he asked sharply.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That\u2019s when I realized this information could change everything.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, it was odd. And then Madeline got really scared,\u201d I said, watching him clench his jaw. \u201cBy the end of the day, the alpha backed off because Madeline was getting angry. She didn\u2019t want to do the test, and it turned into a whole-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I was still rambling when he cut me off.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat will be enough. Dismissed,\u201d he said, gesturing toward the door.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And just like that, I was humiliated. He didn\u2019t ask for intimacy\u2013nothing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I was simply dismissed, kicked out of the office like I didn\u2019t matter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
