463 – The Alpha Comes With Trouble
Yuvonne:
Earlier today, a warrior told me that Madeline had come to see me. Ever since then, I had been upbeat.
I was happy. It meant she was not angry with me and that she had forgiven me.
Of course, they did not let her in, and that really hurt. Still, I was glad she came.
“It’s okay. Just leave it all here. I’ll clean it myself,” I told the maid, giving her a hand gesture with a smile, letting her know I could at least take care of the mess I had created in the living room.
I always stayed in the living room instead of my bedroom. Now that Ron and I had been away for so long, I honestly did not feel like going into the bedroom.
I only went there at night to sleep. For the rest of the day, I did nothing in the living room.
“Okay, ma’am. Text me if you need anything,” the maid replied, taking her leave.
She went to stay in the servant quarters.
I was once again staring at the walls, missing Ron. I had also been feeling sick.
Staying under the roof all day was affecting my health. Then there was another knock on the door.
The warrior let the person in, and I had a feeling it had to be some alpha. I quickly sat properly on the couch, waiting for them to reveal themselves.
It was Graham again.
“You again?” I muttered, gently touching my forehead and rolling my eyes secretly.
I did not want to cause trouble in front of him because I did not want him to think we were enemies.
“Yeah, I had to come and see you,” he replied, settling on the big couch and giving me his crooked smile.
“Actually, I wanted to speak with you about your husband’s case,” he continued, adjusting his jacket.
Whenever he mentioned my husband, my spine stiffened.
“Graham, that is sweet of you, but you do not need to pay attention to this case. You have so much to do. The sickness and everything. It is okay if you focus on that. He will not be upset if you do not help him,” I explained.
It was my way of reminding him that I did not need his help. Besides, I was scared of him.
His involvement in anything meant he was up to something.
He shot me a harsh look, placing his hand on his chest as if hurt.
“Yuvonne, Why would you think that? Why would you think I would just go home and rest while my friend is in jail?” he questioned.
The tone and the expressions felt like a lie. I gulped, then forced a smile onto my lips.

“I am just saying. Trust me, he would never judge you for it. He will be fine,” I insisted, but my words came out rough.
“Yuvonne, If you are doing so much for me, the least I can do is help your husband, okay?” he pressed, sliding to the edge of the seat.
As he leaned forward and spoke, I felt as if someone had run a finger down my spine.
“I am sorry. What did I do for you?” I asked, confused, unsure whether he was mistaken or if someone had told him I helped him.
“Oh, I am so silly,” he laughed, slapping his forehead and shaking his head, then easing back onto the couch and resting comfortably.
“Your friend. You paid her. You are paying her company to keep talking about me and Elgin, aren’t you?” he asked.
When he finished, my throat clogged.
“What are you accusing me of?” I demanded.
After swallowing the initial fear, I tried to take back my power, trying to sound confident and reassuring.
“I am not accusing you of anything. I am just saying,” he replied.
As he began to speak again, I raised my palm to stop him.
“You think I am bribing Sherry to spread nonsense about you and your friend?” I hissed, not letting him play me or fool me.
He lifted an eyebrow, adjusted his jacket, then leaned back, pressing the tip of his thumb to his finger.
“When did I say you were bribing her?” he asked, and this time he sounded angry that I had said it.
“You did not call it a bribe. You told her it was a gift, didn’t you?” he continued.
“Come on, Sherry. It is just a gift. I do not want you to risk your life for nothing p>
As he repeated the words, I gulped. They were the exact words I had spoken to Sherry last night.
“What happened? Not so cocky anymore?” he snapped, his voice harsh.
“I was wondering who has so much free time that they sit in their little cabin and keep running news about an alpha who is the reason they were appointed there, the reason they are still thriving in their jobs,” he went on.
“You know we pay her with gifts and things so that her pathetic news channel keeps running, right?” he muttered, his fists clenching.
“I do not know what you are talking about,” I replied, my voice cracking.
Fear from the way he was glaring at me began to settle under my skin.
“Are you sure? Wait. Let me jog your memory,” he murmured, pulling out his phone.

The way he did it told me it was not good news.
