Chapter 38 -Maya’s POV- One week. That’s how long the cold, damp cell had been my only companion. The stale air, the flickering fluorescent light, the constant echo of distant shouts – it all melded into a single, horrifying memory. The relief of Natalia flinging her arms around me when I was finally released was almost suffocating. “They wouldn’t even let me see him,” I thought bitterly, clenching my fists in my lap. Ivan had explained things vaguely, something about political pressure and “influential forces.” He’d insisted he wasn’t responsible for my release, but then who was? Even though I knew the answer, I dared not think of him. SM Moving in with Ivan had been a whirlwind. The twins, bless their curious little hearts, were asking endless questions I couldn’t answer. “Where have you been Mummy? Why are we leaving Aunty Natalia?” I would explain but I was just too damn tired. There was almost no tears left in my eyes. Today, however, I wasn’t here for tears. I was here to fight. Sitting across from a portly lawyer with thinning hair and a perpetually worried expression, I steeled myself. Mr. Davies had been recommended by Ivan, and while his kindness was evident, his lack of results was starting to grate on me. “Mr. Davies,” I began, my voice firm despite the tremor in my hands, “with all due respect, I don’t feel like you’re doing enough. It’s been a week, and I haven’t been able to see my father. He’s in jail and you’re telling me there’s nothing we can do?” Mr. Davies squirmed in his seat, adjusting his spectacles. “Miss Stone, I understand your frustration. Believe me, I am doing everything in my power. But your father’s case is…” he hesitated, searching for the right words, “complicated.” “Complicated how?” I pressed, my voice rising a notch. He sighed, a deep rumble that seemed to emanate from somewhere deep within his belly. “The evidence against him is… substantial, Miss Stone. Large sums of money, offshore accounts, the whole shebang. It doesn’t look good, I’m afraid to say.” My stomach clenched. My father had always done things the legal way. That was one thing I could brag about even though we never saw eye to eye. But then a chilling thought struck me. Could someone have framed him? An enemy, a competitor, someone with a grudge? The questions swirled in my head, a storm with no clear answer. “And how long?” I finally managed to ask, “How long could he be in prison for money laundering?” He avoided my gaze, his lips pursed in a thin line. “Money laundering is a serious offense. Depending on the severity, the sentence. could range from…” he hesitated again, his voice dropping to a low murmur, “…ten to twenty–five years.” Twenty–five years. A heavy silence descended upon the room after he uttered the chilling sentence. The air felt thick, the weight of the situation pressing down on me. Wiping a stray tear that escaped down my cheek, I forced myself to speak. “Ten to twenty–five years,” I repeated, the words catching in my throat. “That can’t be it. There has to be something we can do.” 11:35 Fri, 21 Jun Chapter 38 61%獻。 He shuffled some papers on his desk, avoiding my gaze. “Look, I understand this is a difficult time for you. But these accusations. are serious, and the evidence against your father seems strong. However,” he continued, a hint of hope creeping into his voice, “there might be a small chance. We could try to argue entrapment, if there’s any evidence someone was pressuring him into laundering money.” A flicker of hope ignited within me. “Entrapment? But how would we know? They won’t even let me see him.” He steepled his fingers, his expression thoughtful. “That is a problem. However, I can draft a request for visitation rights. There’s no guarantee it will be granted, but it’s a start. Perhaps your father can shed some light on the situation.” A sliver of relief washed over me. At least I wouldn’t be completely in the dark anymore. “Visitation rights,” I echoed, “Yes, please do that. Anything to see him, to talk to him.” He nodded, a faint smile flickering across his lips. “Alright. I’ll get on that right away. In the meantime, I’ll also see if I can dig up any information about entrapment. It’s a long shot, but it’s all we have right now.” “Thank you. I really appreciate you taking on this case.” He gave a small smile. “It’s not about me. It’s about justice. I will be in touch.” With a final nod, he shuffled out of the study, leaving me alone with my thoughts. I hadn’t allowed myself to truly consider it before. In the whirlwind of emotions, fear, and confusion, the question of innocence hadn’t truly surfaced. But now, a seed of doubt had been planted. Was he really guilty of all that they said? A cold shiver ran down my spine. And then there was Alex. Could he be behind this? Could he have manipulated the evidence, used his influence to get my father out of the way? The thought was horrifying, but a terrifying possibility nonetheless. The weight of worry settled heavily on my shoulders. With m pop y father gone, the responsibility for the Crescent pack loomed large. The irony wasn’t lost on me. I’d relinquished the Alpha role to be with Alex, only to have it thrust back upon me by his actions. Why couldn’t he just stay out of my life. Even if he had been the one to have me released, he was never getting a thank you out of me. A choked sob escaped my lips, tears stinging my eyes. Just as I felt myself spiraling into despair, the office door creaked open and Natalia entered. Her concerned gaze swept over me, taking in my tear–streaked face and slumped posture. “Maya?” she said softly, her voice laced with worry. “How are you holding up?” I managed a weak smile, the gesture feeling hollow even to me. “It could be better,” I admitted, my voice thick with emotion. “Mr. Davies is trying to get me visitation rights, but it could take days. And the miracle of all miracles, Ms Edwards hasn’t fired me yet.” She pulled up a chair and sat next to me, her presence a source of comfort. She squeezed my hand gently, her touch warm and reassuring. “Hey,” she said firmly, her voice unwavering, “You’re strong, Amaya. Stronger than you give yourself credit for. You’ve been through a lot, but you haven’t broken.” I let out a shaky breath, leaning into her side. “It just feels like one drama after another, I confessed, burying my face in her shoulder. “First, everything with Alex, now this. When will it all stop?” She wrapped her arms around me, holding me tight. “I know, sweetie,” she murmured. “It feels overwhelming, doesn’t it?

Chapter 35 -Maya’s POV- “What’s going on here?” Ivan repeated, his voice tight with a mix of concern and irritation. His gaze flickered between me and Alex, the tension in the air practically crackling. Alex remained silent, his eyes locked on mine for a beat before finally looking away. They landed on Ivan, a silent exchange passing between them. It felt loaded, like a conversation unspoken. Then, his gaze snapped back to me. “You will be out of here soon,” he said, his voice flat and devoid of any emotion. It felt like a statement of fact, not a promise. He didn’t wait for a response, turning on his heel and heading for the door. The heavy metal clanged shut behind him, leaving an unsettling silence in its wake. Ivan’s jaw clenched tight. He looked at me, his face a mask of anger. I opened my mouth to explain, to bridge the widening gap between us, but he cut me off sharply. “Maya,” he started, his voice losing its usual softness whenever he spoke to me, “You told me Alex was… a thing of the past. You said you were done with him.” His words held a hint of betrayal, a reminder of the conversation we’d had just had before my arrest. Now, here I was, just moments ago in a heated exchange with the very man I supposedly didn’t care about anymore. “Lasked him to leave,” I blurted out, feeling defensive. “It’s not like I had a choice! He just showed up here, and…” I trailed off, frustration bubbling inside me. It wasn’t fair. I shouldn’t have to apologize for being in a jail cell with a man who refused to leave. “And how does that explain why he practically had his hands wrapped around you when I walked in here?” “It happened fast,” I explained, my voice calm despite the anger simmering beneath the surface. “He just grabbed me and I wanted to push him away but-” “But you didn’t” he cut in, his eyes narrowing. “What was he even here in the fisrt place.” “He said he was here to help,” I admitted hesitantly. My words felt hollow even to myself. Help? He’d caused most of this chaos! “Help?” He scoffed, his disbelief evident. “He’s the last person you need help from, Amaya. Don’t you see that?” “See what?” I shot back, my temper finally flaring, “I appreciate you worrying, Ivan, but I can handle myself.” A beat of silence followed my outburst. He stared at me, his expression unreadable. The air crackled with unspoken words and simmering tension. But there was a flicker of hurt in his eyes. I wanted to feel bad for snapping at him. I knew it wasn’t his fault but I was just angry. My emotions seemed to bleed into his and the hurt disappeared replaced by anger but then instead of exploding like I expected to, he let out a sign. “Handle yourselff You’re sitting in a jail cell, Maya. How exactly are you handling that?” His gentle tone disarmed my anger. Shame washed over me. He was right. He was still here for me even though I had not made it easy. “I… I don’t know,” I mumbled, looking down at the floor. “This whole thing is a mess. My father, Alex showing up… I just want it all to stop.” 11:35 Fri, 21 Jun Chapter 35 He sighed, the sound heavy with weariness. He reached out, placing a hand on my shoulder. The touch was warm, a reminder of his presence, his support, “We just need to focus on getting you out of here.” A wave of relief washed over me as he spoke. Getting out of here was all I needed to focus on at that moment. “We?” Techoed, “Do you mean you’ve figured out a way to get me released?” He hesitated for a moment, a flicker of something unreadable crossing his features. “I’ve contacted a lawyer. Someone who can navigate this mess and hopefully get you released quickly. But…” he trailed off, his voice tightening. “But what?” The hope that had bloomed in my chest started to wilt. Was there another complication? Another hurdle to jump? “I also spoke to your father,” He admitted, his gaze dropping to the floor for a moment before meeting mine again. heart. of sympathy in his eyes, a flicker of something that tugged at my There was a hint My breath hitched. “You saw my father? Is he… is he alright?” The image of my father, stern and powerful, facing an unknown interrogation, sent a fresh wave of worry crashing over me. “He’s not in the best place. The investigation into his company… it’s not going well for him. They’ve frozen most of his assets, and there’s a lot of evidence piling up.” I felt a cold dread pool in my stomach. This wasn’t good. Not good at all. “The company…Does that mean…” “It doesn’t look good. There’s a chance they could shut it down completely. And even if they don’t, the financial strain… it will take years to recover, if ever.” The news hit me like a physical blow. The symbol of my father’s power and prestige, potentially crumbling to dust. The implications were staggering. “But what about the pack?” I blurted out, a new worry dawning on me. “With Daniel… with everything going on here, the pack is in chaos. Everyone’s vying for power, and those whose who think they have a chance are gunning to be alpha,” I let out a groan, “That is not good at all. This is a fucking mess. Everything falling apart.” “We’ll figure it out. We’ll deal with your father, the company, and the pack. But first things first, we get you out of here.” His words calmed the storm of emotions brewing inside me. He was right. Panicking wouldn’t solve anything. I needed a clear head, a plan. ‘So what’s the plan then?” I asked, forcing myself to sound calm. “How do we get me released? And what about my father… is there anything we can do to help him?” “Getting you released is the easy part. The lawyer should be here any minute now. As for your father…” he hesitated, his brow furrowing in thought.. “As for my father?” I pressed, my voice laced with a sliver of desperation. “There has to be something we can do. What about the person we were supposed to see before things went haywire and I got arrested?” … Read More “Bonds of the Alpha Billionaire by Neldia Chapter 35” »
Chapter 34 -Maya’s POV- He stared at me, his face a mask of complete and utter blankness. It was as if someone had flipped a switch, erasing all emotion from his features. The intensity that had flared in his eyes just moments ago was gone, replaced by a cold, impassive indifference. A beat of silence stretched between us, thick and suffocating. I held my breath, waiting for a reaction, any kind of reaction. But there was none. It was as if I hadn’t spoken at all. Then, as if suddenly remembering his purpose for being there, he cleared his throat, the sound harsh and grating. “Your father will…” he began, but I cut him off before he could finish the sentence. “Don’t you dare talk about my father right now! Didn’t you hear what I just said to you?” He let out a sigh, a sound of weary exasperation. “I came here to help because I know you’re not involved in this,” he said, his voice flat. “I didn’t come to talk about your feelings.” His words were like a fresh spark igniting the tinderbox of my emotions. “My feelings?” I spat the word back at him, incredulous. “Are you kidding me, Alex?” “Amaya,” he started, but I wasn’t finished. This wasn’t the time for his patronizing tone. Not now. “Don’t you dare say my name,” I growled, my voice laced with a dangerous edge. “You know what? Leave.” His eyes narrowed a fraction, a flicker of surprise crossing his features. “What?” “You heard me. I said leave. Get out. I don’t need your help. The Stones are garbage, so why don’t you just stay away from us?” The words tasted like ash in my mouth, each one a betrayal of the raw emotions that had just spilled out of me. But something had shifted within me, a deep–seated anger rising to the surface. This wasn’t the Alex I knew. This cold, emotionless stranger staring back at me was a far cry from the man I had fallen in love with. He remained silent for a moment, his gaze unwavering. Then, he spoke, his voice devoid of any warmth. “You’re making an unnecessary scene. Stop shouting.” The calmness in his voice only served to fuel my rage. “Stop shouting?” You barge in here, act like you care, and then dismiss my feelings like they’re nothing? How dare you?” I stared at him, searching his face for a trace of the Alex I knew, the man I had loved. But there was nothing. Just this cold, calculating stranger. He knew he could be an asshole, cold and ruthless but he was different with me. I was his soft spot. His weakness. His silver. A horrifying realization dawned on me. The Alex I loved… he was gone. And if he was gone, then why was he here? What did he want from me? “Why?” The question hung heavy in the air, a challenge. Why was he here, inserting himself into this mess? Why did he care? His reasons couldn’t possibly be altruistic. Not after everything that had happened. A flicker of something crossed his features, a fleeting emotion I couldn’t quite decipher. Was it annoyance? Hesitation? It was gone as quickly as it appeared, replaced by his usual stoic mask. 1/4 INSTALL “I told you,” he said, his voice clipped. “You’re not involved in this. You shouldn’t be here.” His words felt hollow, ringing false in the sterile silence of the room. A thought, cold and unsettling, slithered into my mind. He had always loathed my father. Their animosity was a constant undercurrent in our relationship. And yet, here he was, adamant about my innocence. Didn’t that seem a little convenient? “Did you have anything to do with this?” The question burst from my lips, laced with suspicion. The ai shifted, a tangible change in the atmosphere. For a fleeting moment, a flicker of guilt flickered across his face, a chink in his armor. It was gone so quickly I almost doubted I’d seen it, but it was enough. Enough to confirm my growing suspicions. “You!” The word exploded from me, a mixture of disbelief and betrayal. “You had something to do with this, didn’t you? This whole thing… my father being investigated… it’s all your doing!” He remained silent, his jaw clenched tight, but the silence itself spoke volumes. My anger flared, a white–hot inferno consuming me. “Unbelievable!” I spat the word at him, my voice trembling with fury. “You had to go this far? Couldn’t you have just… I don’t know… done something else to get back at him that did not involve potentially ruining his life? Ruinin my life?” “Your father started this, Amaya. And the only reason he’s even still alive is because of you so you should be grateful.” Grateful? The word tasted like ash in my mouth. Grateful that he’d entangled me in his twisted game of revenge? Grateful that he’d used me as a pawn to get to my father? “Grateful?” I screamed, my voice raw with emotion. “You think I should be grateful that you are destroying my life without a single thought for how it would affect me? That something you did is making them paint me as a criminal?” He flinched at the accusation, a flicker of something akin to pain crossing his features. But it was quickly masked by his usual stoic indifference. “You weren’t supposed to get cinvolved.” “Weren’t supposed to get involved? So you planned all this, knowing the risk, and then act now you are here to what? Play knight in shinning armor to the public? What kind of twisted logic is that?” He opened his mouth to speak, but I cut him off before he could utter another word. “No,” My voice was shaky with a mixture of anger and exhaustion. “I don’t want to hear it. Just get out. Leave me alone.” He stared at me for a long moment, his expression unreadable, “I’ll get you out of here.” “Like hell you will. You’ve done enough damage already. Just stay out of it.” He let out a tired sigh, “You don’t understand,” “Don’t I?” I scoffed. “Enlighten me then, Alex. Because from where I’m sitting, it seems pretty clear. You get revenge on my father by dragging me into your mess. Nice one.” A beat of silence followed. Then, with a slow, deliberate movement, he stood up, narowing the space between us. I hated how how 2/4 61% Chapter 34 my breath hitched up when he moved closer. His scent surrounded me making my wolf heady. “It wasn’t supposed to be like this. When I took down your father’s company, I…” He trailed off, frustration etched on his features. “You what?” I pressed, refusing to let him off the hook. “Didn’t think about the collateral damage? Didn’t think about the fact that your little vendetta might land your rejected ‘mate‘ in jail?” I spat the last word out, the bitterness dripping from my tongue. He flinched at the word ‘mate‘, a flicker of pain … Read More “Bonds of the Alpha Billionaire by Neldia Chapter 34” »
Chapter 33 -Alex’s POV- Fury gnawed at my insides, a bitter, acidic knot that twisted with every ragged breath I took. The image of Christian’s smug smile burned behind my eyelids, a reminder of his infuriating game–playing. Adrian getting out was a major headache, that much I knew. But the truth Christian had withheld was a goddamn detonator, set to drive my wolf insane. To drive me insane. The hit I had him make Daniel’s company take had exposed his money laundering scheme, which was why he was currently being. investigated. That much I knew. What I didn’t know was that Christian had neglected a crucial detail. In his my haste to make Daniel pay for being a headache, I had inadvertently implicated Amaya. Danirl had forged signatures, laundering money in her name, forging a financial link between her and his company. So if Daniel was going down, so was she. And that was unacceptable. The memory of Christian’s infuriating smirk as he turned his back on me after stating without an ounce of remorse that she had been arrested too sent a fresh wave of fury crashing over me. But still I asked myself. Why couldn’t I just walk away? Forget about the woman who had betrayed me? But the answer was simple – I couldn’t. I couldn’t let her go no matter how hard I tried. Amaya, for all her flaws, was still innocent in this. She was a pawn, manipulated by her father and now caught in the crossfire of my war with him. The thought of her locked up in some godforsaken jail cell, ignited a primal urge within me. Муи wolf snarled. He liked Christian but at this point, I was trying so hard not to give into him, tear through the city and make Christian pay for keeping something as important as this from me. If I had known, I’d have found another to strike Daniel Stone but none that would ever had involved hurting her like this. I slammed my foot on the accelerator, the engine roaring in response as sped towards the police station. The air crackled with nervous energy as I stormed into the station, the harsh fluorescent lights adding to the sterile atmosphere. My alpha aura pulsed around me, a silent command for respect and immediate attention. “I’m here to see Amaya Stone,” I declared, my voice hard and laced with an edge of impatience. A silent part reminded me that she would soon take his name but I ignored it. The young officer behind the counter barely glanced up from his paperwork. “Do you have an appointment, sir? Are you her deference. lawyer?” His voice was flat, devoid of any “Do you have any idea who I am?” The officer finally looked up, his gaze flickering over my expensive suit and the glint of my Rolex watch. But there was no recognition, no hint of awe in his eyes. Just a flicker of annoyance at my perceived arrogance… “Sir, everyone needs an appointment to see a detainee and you are not her lawyer sooo…,” he repeated, his voice firm. My wolf strained at the leash, its growl rumbling deep in my chest. The blatant disrespect from this underling was infuriating. “Look, kid,” I growled, leaning forward, my voice a low, dangerous rumble. “I suggest you rethink your next words. I am Alex Thorne, and I will see Amaya Stone. Now.” 11:34 Fri, 21 Jun ti Chapter 33 The officer’s posture stiffened, his eyes widening a fraction. He clearly sensed the raw power emanating from me, the alpha energy that demanded obedience. But he held his ground, his jaw set in a stubborn defiance that surprised me. “Mr. Thorne,” he said, his voice still laced with a hint of nervousness, “Even for you, there are procedures to follow. Without an appointment, I can’t let you see her.” The air crackled with unspoken tension. We were locked in a silent battle of wills, the young officer clinging to the flimsy shield of protocol while my wolf strained against my control, eager to rip through any obstacle that stood between me and Amaya. The silence stretched, broken only by the rhythmic hum of the fluorescent lights. Finally, with a deep, controlled breath, I forced my anger down. There was no point in creating a scene. “Fine,” I conceded through gritted teeth. “Get me an appointment. Now.” The officer, visibly relieved, scurried to his computer. “It might take a few hours, sir,” he said, dialing a number. “Get me in to see her now.” H He flinched at the icy command in my voice. He stammered for a moment, clearly out of his depth dealing with an enraged billionaire. But the raw power simmering beneath the surface of my words must have gotten through to him. Without another word, he hung up the phone and grabbed a set of keys from a drawer. “Follow me, Mr. Thorne.” We walked in tense silence down a sterile white hallway, the silence punctuated only by the rhythmic click of his shoes on the floor. My wolf thrashed inside me, its anxiety mirroring my own. Why was I here? Was it guilt gnawing at the edges of my conscience, guilt for the situation she found herself in, a situation I inadvertently played a part in? Or was it the primal urge of my wolf, unable to bear the thought of our mate, rejected or not, locked away in a cage? She wasn’t our mate anymore, not after her betrayal. The memory of her betrayal sent a fresh wave of anger coursing through me, a frown etching itself onto my face. Just then, the clang of the cell door opening pulled me back to the present. Amaya stood at the entrance, her face an unreadable mask. Gone was the fiery defiance I was used to seeing, replaced by a stoic emptiness. There were no tear tracks, no signs of emotional breakdown. She had always been strong, I knew that much. But this stoicism, this utter lack of emotional display did not sit well with me. The silence stretched on, heavy and suffocating. Finally, she broke it with a sigh laced with exhaustion. “Why can’t you just leave me alone?” Her voice was flat, devoid of any emotion. I didn’t answer. The truth was, I didn’t have an answer. “Aren’t you going to sit?” I asked instead, my voice gruff. A sardonic laugh escaped her lips. “And you’re suddenly capable of being a gentleman, I see.” I ignored the jab, the alpha within me wanting to take control. “Amaya, sit down,” I commanded, my voice radiating my power. She might be an alpha female, but she knew, and I knew, that mine was stronger. alpha She didn’t argue this time, but the look she shot me was enough to singe my eyebrows. She took a seat across from me, her posture stiff and unyielding. 11:34 Fri, 21 Jun … Read More “Bonds of the Alpha Billionaire by Neldia Chapter 33” »
