Mr. Charles sat at his mahogany desk, engrossed in a conversation with his trusted Secretary, Mr. Edwards.
Unbeknownst to him, his treacherous mistress, Victoria Steele, silently stood just outside the door, concealed in the shadows of the dimly lit hallway. Her heart pounded with anticipation as she strained to eavesdrop on the conversation between Charles and Edward.
Victoria had always hated Rachel’s mother she envyed the woman’s unmated beauty and her ever so calm attitude.
She knew deep down that Charles loved her so dearly, so she user her family to always make him do whatever she wanted, after the death of Rachel’s mother, she did everything in her power to make sure Rachel left the pack.
For years, Victoria had seduced and manipulated Charles with her family into believing she was his ally, but tonight, everything seemed to have dawned on him.
As the conversation unfolded, Victoria’s eyes widened with each passing word. Charles’s tone grew frantic, his voice trembling with desperation.
It seemed Rachel, his long-lost daughter from a His legitimate wife, whom he had banished, he was now searching for her, so he had figured out that Kyle and Emily were not his children, so he wants that bitch’s child back, This revelation posed a significant threat to Victoria’s diabolical plans.
‘Never, I will not let this happen, not after all I have done, he thinks he can get away with this, I’ll will kill that daughter of his before he even has a chance of finding her, my children are the ones to take over as the next alpha in line, not after all my family had done for him. She said in her mind.
She couldn’t bear the thought of the evil witche daughter being the leader of thier pack, she would never allow such a thing to happen under her watch.
She knew she had to act swiftly and decisively. If Rachel managed to return safely all her plans would go to ruin, Victoria’s carefully constructed empire would crumble.
Not afterso many years of meticulously planning, she would never let her destroy her plan never
The only solution that remained seemed unthinkable-she would have to eliminate Rachel. It was a twisted and horrific plan, one born out of her twisted obsession for control and power, she would never let any spoil her plans.
Determined to ensure her supremacy over Charles’s legacy, Victoria stalked out of the Study, her mind a whirlwind of dark intentions.
She went directly into her room, and sat on the bed, but she wasn’t comfortable. She began to think of the fastest way to eliminate Rachel. She couldn’t take any risk. She made a phone call, asking her daughter and son to come back immediately.
She dialed another number and spoke a few words to the Person on the other side of the phone, and then she cut the call.
She needed information about the whereabouts of Rachel.
Every single detail was very important and crucial to her plans, her mind took her back to Rachel’s 18th birthday where she had poisoned both mother and daughter with her face filled with hatred and disgust anytime she thought of those mother and daughter duo.
