Chapter 43
PEMERALD POV?
âI donât understand what you are trying to say fatherâ I said and he stared at me in disgust.
âYou did not return home last night after the Charity event, infact information reaching me stated that you left the venue with Xavier Jasonâ dad bursted angrily and I just stared at him wondering why he was overreacting.
âDadâ¦â I trailed.
âYou let that man have access to your b*dy after everything he put you through !â he hit the table out of anger and I flinched.
âI donât know why you are worked up about this dad, I am not a child. Sleeping with Xavier does not mean I am going back to himâ I said and dad looked at me calmly.
âGoing back to him should not be in your agenda in the first place, I will not accept it!â he said and I did not say anything to counter his words.
Saying anything to him might make him think his suspicions were right all this while.
âI gave you a life Rachel, think about that anytime you decide to go frolicking around with that bast ard !â he bursted angrily.
âI still think you donât have the right to tell me who should have access to my b*dy and. who should not. This is a game !â I bursted angrily.
âAre you talking to me Rachel ?â he asked angrily.
âI am only stating a fact fatherâ I said as my voice broke at the edge.
The argument with dad got really heated up and by the time he permitted me to leave. his office, I was already frustrated and sad.
How did it go?â Penny asked immediately I got into the room.
âBadâ I said and sat down on the bed with a thud.
âDad kept talking over and over again without giving me a listening ear, I felt sick hearing him rant over and over againâ I said she sighed.
âHe is your father Rachel, and he is worried. That is what every reasonable father would do if their daughter happened to have an ex as cruel as Xavierâ she said and I sighed.
âAfter your night together, What do you think?â she asked and I sighed tiredly.
Chapter 43
âI did not think about anything Pennyâ I said and she looked at me in disbelief.
âWhat?â I shrugged.
âI just thoughtâ¦.â she trailed.
âYour thought are wrong babe, I canât bring myself to forget everything that happened between us because we had mind-blowing S*xâ I said and she sighed.
âIt is your life, and I believe you know exactly what you are doingâ she said and I smiled.
âThanks, I am very tired and I need to rest before I get to workâ I said and she smiled.
âGood luck, I also have something to doâ she said and I watched her leave my room quietly.
âHeyâ I received a text from Xavier and I dropped my phone without replying. I hate the fact that I got into a fight with my father because of Xavier, the man is not even worth it.
âHe is not worth it?? and you wasted your timeâ Nala said mockingly.
âYou are my wolf, the least you could do is to f ucking have my backâ I cursed under my breath.
âWe are one Emeraldâ she said and I sighed.
âRachelâ I said in anger.
âEmeraldâ she said spiting me on purpose.
âNala, I donât like it when anyone calls me by that nameâ I said and she sighed.
âCalling you Rachel would never change the fact that you are still Emerald, deep down you know it tooâ she said and I sighed.
My phone rang and I rolled my eyes thinking it was Xavier.
âHelloâ I said immediately I picked the call.
âRachelâ he said and I took a deep breath in and out.
âFernandezâ I said and he sighed..
âAre you still mad at me about yesterdayâs event?â he asked and I stayed quiet for some
time.
âYou embarrassed me the minute you started a fight with Xavier and the fact that. you instigated the whole fight makes me feel sickâ I said and he sighed at the other end.

âLetâs meet up at my place pleaseâ he said and I frowned.
72%
âI donât think that will be possible Gab, but I believe you can come over to my place if you really feel likeâ I said and he sighed.
âYou are still mad at meâ he said and I rubbed my forehead softly.
âIt is not about being mad at you, I am very busy Gabrielâ I said and he stayed silent on the other end for some time before he said what he wanted to say.
âFine, we can just meet up whenever you feel like itâ he said and I did not know what to say to that.
It is not like I enjoy hurting the guy or something but, I did not like the fact that he manipulated Xavier and ended up acting like the victim. Something just didnât feel right about him at that minute.
I made a me ntal note to keep an eye on Gabriel Fernandez or maybe get to the back story of what happened between him and Xavier because, after what I said last night at the charity event, thereâs more to that story than what the eyes sees.
âI will let you cool off for the mean time, we can talk later when you are no longer mad at meâ he said and ended the call.
This whole revenge stuff was beginning to irk me already. Deep down am thinking about a lot of things, my sons, my dad and the trouble that awaits me when I eventually reveal myself as Emerald.
On a second thought, am beginning to regret my decision of sleeping with Xavier but then, all the positions he had me last night Iâll be dammed if I denied myself of that pleasure.
I might sound so loose right now but I canât die because of some revenge that Iâll eventually have at the long run, if I did not do it.
Another enemy of his would end up doing what I intend doing.
? XAVIER POV?
I have not been myself ever since my encounter with Rachel the other night, I think about her every single time no matter how much I try not to think about her.
The minute we had S*x, I started to feel my suspicions was right all along. Rachel had too much similarities with my Ex mate Emerald.
Her moans and cries of pleasures mirrored the exact reaction I would get from

Emerald.
Aunt Maggie called her Emerald the first day they met, and up until now I still donât know why I canât stop comparing her to my Ex.
What if Emerald and Rachel was the same person? I wondered and groaned as my head banged with headache.
Even the thought of them being one person was scary to me. That is not possible, itâs been five years and Rachel was nothing like Emerald.
I got down from my bed and went out to get some water to drink, I had a lot of thoughts running through my mind.
âSonâ Aunt Maggie called and I turned towards her direction.
âYou are not sleeping yet?â she asked and I noticed her red night dress and a bottle of water in her hand.
âI canât sleep auntâ I said and she sighed in pity.
âYou see, I told you about amount of stress you have been giving yourself. It is not. healthyâ she said and I nodded
âIâm sorryâ I said and she gave me a motherly hug.
Ever since momâs demise, aunt Maggie has been the mother figure in my life and I could tell her anything.
âWanna talk about it?â she asked and I gave a nod.
âIt is Rachelâ I said and she stared at me.
âYour friend?â she asked curiously.
âWe are dating auntâ I said and she tried to hide the shock on her face.
âShe is a good womanâ Aunt said calmly.
âI know, Iâm justâ¦â¦â I said slowly.
âJustâ¦?â she asked.
âShe has a lot of similarities with Emeraldâ I said and aunt sighed.
âMaybe you are over thinking it son, it is not what you think it isâ Aunt said and I stared at her calmly.
âYou called her Emerald the first time you guys met, that means you also felt the same

I said and she shook her head.
âI was mistaken, Rachel was polite enough to have understand my silly mistake sonâ Aunt said and I sighed.
Maybe I was over thinking stuffs, thank goodness I did not call her Emerald after her encounter with aunt Maggie, that would have hurt her. After all, no woman would like to be referred to her boyfriendâs ex.
âIs that why you arenât sleeping yet? Go to bed sonâ Aunt said and I smiled.
âI came out to get a bottle of water because I was thirstyâ I said and she handed me the bottle with her.
âHere is a clean glass, drink and have some sleep. You are the Alpha and you have a duty towards the pack and itâs membersâ she said and I nodded my head tiredly in understanding.
