The next day dawned with a sense of anticipation, for Nelly had revealed that she would be the one to bring the children home from school. Little did she know, this meant she would also come face to face with the enigmatic and alluring school director.
Donna, ever the optimist, was overjoyed at the news. She took it upon herself to carefully select Nelly’s outfit for the day, determined to make her mother look like a fashion icon.
Nelly, on the other hand, cared little for the frivolities of fashion. She had always been a woman of simplicity, focused more on the matters of the heart than the superficialities of appearance. But Donna had a vision and she was determined to bring it to life, paying no mind to Nelly’s own preferences.
Nelly possessed an ethereal beauty, her fair skin glowing and her long, slender legs seemingly endless. She had the kind of allure that stirred envy among women and caught the attention of every man who crossed her path.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
It was a rarity for Nelly to rise early, but on this day, she decided to indulge in breakfast with her children. As she shared bites of food with them, Donna glanced up at her mother, a mischievous sparkle in her eyes. “Mommy, I hope your beauty lasts until the afternoon when you come to pick us up.”
Nelly chuckled softly, not making any promises. “I only said I might be able to pick you up. We’ll see how the day goes.”
Undeterred, Donna insisted, her determination unyielding. “That’s alright, Mommy. I’ll make sure to dress you up beautifully every single day. You’ll come to our school sooner or later.”
Nelly sighed, realizing that her daughter would not give up until she achieved her goal. “Alright, alright,” she relented, knowing it was futile to resist.
With a final goodbye and a chorus of promises to behave, Nelly watched as her triplets made their way out the door. She stayed behind, seated at the table, enjoying her breakfast at a leisurely pace.
Meanwhile, downstairs, the triplets engaged in a conversation that caught the attention of Alpha Wade, their grandfather, who had been standing nearby all along. It seemed they had forgotten he was even there as they spoke so openly about their secret.
Donna, her voice filled with determination, turned to Alpha Wade, tugging on the book in his hands. “Gramps, you won’t tell Mommy what we talked about, will you?” she asked, a hint of mischief in her eyes.
Alpha Wade smiled sheepishly, feigning confusion. “Tell her what? My ears aren’t what they used to be. I didn’t hear a thing!”
Satisfied with his response, Donna grinned confidently, knowing that their secret was safe.
While the triplets whispered their secrets, Nelly was called to Nelson’s office as soon as she stepped foot into the company. As she entered, she noticed Lara, a woman of authority, already present.
Nelson gestured for Nelly to take a seat, indicating that Lara had something to discuss with her. Nelly, ever calm and composed, obliged. Little did Nelson expect that Lara would request to speak to Nelly privately, dismissing him from the room.
Confusion crossed Nelson’s face for a moment, but he quickly recovered, offering a polite smile. “Of course, please excuse me. I have some matters to attend to.” With that, he left the office, closing the door behind him.
Left alone with Nelly, Lara sat on the couch with an air of dominance. She motioned for Nelly to take a seat, her eyes narrowing slightly as she observed her. Most women would be intimidated by Lara’s commanding presence, but Nelly remained unfazed.
Nelly gave Lara a tight-lipped smile, her own confidence shining through. “Would you like some coffee?” she asked, pressing the intercom button on the desk. “Please bring a cup of coffee for Ms. Gareth.”
Lara stared at Nelly, her expression growing cold. “I don’t drink instant coffee.”
Nelly shrugged nonchalantly. “In that case, one cup for me will do. Thanks!” She ended the conversation with the push of a button.
Lara’s eyes narrowed further, her gaze fixed on Nelly. She had hoped to intimidate her into talking, but Nelly’s nonchalant demeanor frustrated her further.
“What is your relationship with Alpha Kilian?” Lara finally asked, unable to beat around the bush any longer.
Nelly pondered for a moment, taking a sip of her coffee before responding calmly. “So, Ms. Gareth, are you here to discuss my personal affairs today?”
Lara eyed Nelly carefully, trying to discern any hints about her relationship with Alpha Kilian. “Whether it’s official business or personal affairs will depend on your answer, Ms. Jackson.”
Nelly, unbothered by Lara’s attempts to intimidate her, smiled knowingly. “You’re here in my office without even knowing the nature of my relationship with Alpha Kilian. Ms. Gareth, don’t you think you’re being a bit hasty?”
Respectful but snarky, Nelly had the upper hand in this game. Her nonchalance unsettled Lara, who had made assumptions without any prior research on Nelly.
As the conversation continued, both women engaged in a battle of wits, their words holding power and hidden meaning. But Nelly remained calm and collected, determined to hold her ground and protect her own interests.
In this game of secrets and revelations, Nelly’s nonchalant demeanor was a shield, protecting her from Lara’s snarky attitude. And as the conversation progressed, it became clear that Nelly was not one to back down easily. Nelly’s eyes narrowed, a hint of her feral nature showing through. The air around her grew tense, filled with the electric energy of two alpha predators locked in a standoff.
“Listen closely, Lara,” Nelly spoke, her voice carrying an undertone of authority. “You may think you can manipulate me, but I am no mere pup to be swayed by empty promises. Alpha Kilian and I have a history, a bond that you will never comprehend. Our paths may have diverged, but the thread that connects us remains unbreakable.”
Lara’s defiance wavered, a flicker of fear flashing in her eyes. She tried to hold her ground, but the weight of Nelly’s dominance weighed heavily upon her.
“Leave, Lara,” Nelly growled, her voice echoing with power. “Do not test the limits of my patience. The consequences will be dire, and the price will be paid in blood.”
As Nelly turned, her departure was swift and graceful, her presence lingering like a shadowy specter. And in that moment, Lara knew better than to cross the path of the formidable she-wolf.
