Chapter 87


    87 A Glimpse Into Stacy’s Mind


    Stacy.


    Caleb and Luke left me alone, and I rested on the bed, i had left my door open deliberately so Aesop


    could see what he had done to me. He had broken my heartpletely. I never did anything to him. I


    have loved him since I met him, but he never failed to point out my ws,paring me with histe wife


    and making me feel small. I took it out on Luke. I shouldn’t have, but I did.


    “Darling, let us talk about this,” I linked Aesop, but he did not respond. I remained in bed, unsure of what


    to do. It all seemed like a horrible nightmare I would soon wake up from. The reality of what had


    happened created an intense fear in me. I never imagined that Aesop would go this far, but he did. He


    embarrassed me and cast me aside. My phone began to ring, and I wasn’t looking forward to speaking


    with whoever it was. Timothy Miles had been threatening me, asking for his money back since Diamond


    corp refused to pay for the contract. 1 did not want to deal with him in my current state of mind. I linked


    Norman to bring me a bottle of gin. My nerves were all over the ce, and I was afraid. The gin was


    delivered, and I did not bother to use the ss. I took several swigs from the bottle and began to sing


    songs to ease my aching heart. I felt neglected and abandoned. I hated Aesop for doing this to me. I did


    not do anything. I had stopped antagonising Luke and Tia; I wasn’t scheming against anyone. I did not


    speak during breakfast, yet he took it out on me. That was what I was good for anyway. He always took


    out his anger and frustration on me, but this was its height. Luke insults both of us, and I get to the boot. I


    began tough at the irony of the situation, I bet if Caleb were the one that insulted him, he would have


    dealt with him. What a bloody hypocrite. My phone began to ring, and I decided to answer it. I picked it


    up and looked at the screen. It was Timothy Miles. I wondered what the bastard wanted now. “Stacy!” he


    yelled without answering. “You are a sick bitch!!” he yelled, and I wondered why he would speak to me in


    such a manner. “What did I do to you, Timothy?” I asked him, slurring my words. “They wereing to


    arrest us, and you did not give me heads up. I will rope you in on this, I swear,” he said, and I was


    stunned.


    “How? Timothy. I would have exposed you if I knew you were stealing from my husband. You never told


    me you were running shady deals. You never told me you were defrauding thepany. It wouldn’t have


    killed you to carry out the contracts. I thought I was helping a friend, but you ruined my husband’s


    company. Go ahead and lie against me, Timothy. I have nothing more to lose. My marriage is over.” I


    said to him, and he was silent. “I want my money back, Stacy”, he yelled as aeback line, and I


    laughed. “If you find a guy called Regan Adhit, ask him for it. I gave it all to him.” I told him and hung up,


    not wanting to hear whatever he had to say.


    Luke was much more ruthless than his father, and I knew it was Luke who decided to arrest them. I


    should have been nicer to him, but Aesop did not give me a chance. I loved that boy and cared for him


    as a mother should care for her child, but Aesop always pointed out my ws and showed his son and


    the memory of his dead wife more love than he showed me. I became resentful andshed out. If I didn’t


    lash out, my marriage would have been intact.


    I finished the bottle of Gin and became very drunk, but sleep did note. I decided to wear something


    sexy and go back to Aesop’s room. I needed him to hear me out and forgive me. This was the time. I


    wore his favouritece lingerie and wore a white silk robe over and headed to his room.


    He wasn’t in his room when I entered, so I linked Norman to find out where Aesop was. I learned he was


    having a meeting with Luke and a woman in his office. I decided to wait for him, I went where he kept his


    liquor and helped myself to some. If I was human, I should have been knocked out by now, but here I


    was, trying to keep myself tipsy. I should have done things differently. I should have been honest,


    compassionate and patient. I just have to hope he will hear me out.


    While waiting, I remembered how innocent I was when I met Regan. His father had just died, and he was


    alone, standing by the streetlight. I had gone out to look for food. My father was ill, and my sister had run


    away to Cleeve to be with her lover. It was only my mother and me. She used me of beingzy and


    asked me to put my looks into good use, so I headed out to see what I could get. Regan called out to


    me, and I crossed over. I knew who he was, and I felt weird that our alpha would talk to me. He asked


    me what I was doing, and I could not tell him, but he figured it out and gave me some money. I took it


    home to my mother and told her how I got it, and she encouraged me to see him. That was how Regan


    and I started dating. I moved in with him, and he took care of my folks, but then one day, he returned


    home with a stranger and asked me to sleep with the guy. I was shocked, and I refused to. Regan was


    my first, and I hoped to start a life with him. When I refused, he linked me and told me we were broke.


    and this was how we would survive henceforth. I knew he had some money, but he said he had ns.


    That he could not be great living in Dome, he wanted us to have enough to move to Neev and establish


    a business. He imed ma


    He imed many rich people go to Neev, and we will be made. He beat me up for the first time when I


    refused and forced me to sleep with the stranger. That was the first. He did not go easy on me after then.


    I tried to run away several times, but that only made it worse; soon, I epted it as my life. The moment


    he felt we had enough, we moved to Neev, and I began to work at a hotel as staff and entertainment. It


    was like that for a while until I met Aesop. He was supposed to be an extra secret customer. I needed to


    send money home to help manage my father’s health, and Regan refused to give me money. I offered


    myself to Aesop for a see, but lie turned me down. He let me know he was married and showed me her


    mark on his neck. I felt ashamed, but he went easy on me and got me talking. That was when I told him


    about my father, and he gave me money to help with my father. He made me promise him that I won’t


    offer myself to customers.


    Although I made the promise, it wasn’t mine to keep. I envied his wife, and I wished I had met him


    instead. Soon Regan decided that we should move to Cleeve. That was thest time I saw Aesop. Two


    yearster, Regan left me in Cleeve and returned to Neev for business. He asked me to join him in Neev.


    As usual, Regan had a customer for me. Unlike the others, this customer knew nothing of Regan or his


    ns. This customer did not know he was a customer. It was Aesop, and his wife had died. I snapped


    out of my thoughts and took a swig of the bottle


    while I waited.


    I waited around, and Aesop finally walked in. He was angry to see, but it was all or nothing right now. I


    could not afford to lose him. I walked towards the door as if I was ready to leave and locked it.


    “Stacy get out,” he yelled at me, and I cringed. I was petrified. Thest time I was this afraid was when I


    was with Regan.


    “Please, Aesop, I am begging you. Do not do this to me. I cannot live without you. I will be silent. I will


    never say a word or do anything. I will be more submissive and obedient than an omega. I don’t want…”


    I said, and he cut me short.


    “I need space, Stacy. You have ruined everything.” He said to me, and I shook my head. I moved closer


    to him, and he moved back with angry eyes.


    “Aesop, Please,” I pleaded with him. My tears were flowing freely.


    “Give me another chance. Please. I will never speak to Tia or Luke. I will never speak to anyone again. In


    fact, I will stay away from breakfast. I will only do what you want me to do. I will never go against you.” I


    said and went on my knees when I found out nothing I was saying was getting through. I felt like throwing


    up, but I held it.


    “Please, Aesop. Don’t leave me. I cannot live without you. Please. I love you. I love you so much you do


    not know how much I love you.” I pleaded.


    Tell me the truth about Regan and where he is,” he asked me, and I was shocked at his request. I did not


    know where Regan was, and I could not tell him the whole truth. He would lock me up or kill me if I told


    him the truth. “I do not know where he is, I swear. I do not know.” I said, and he went to the door.


    “I will break this door and leave the mansion permanently if you do not leave my room now,” he said, and


    I stood up, realising my predicament.


    “At least make love to me onest time, Aesop. I do not know how long this separation will be, but I want


    you to touch me onest time.” I said and moved closer to him. He did not move from the door, and I


    decided to go for it. I tried to kiss him, and he moved away and then I dropped to my knees. It was all or


    nothing.


    “You told me once that this was all I was good for; I am willing to render my services forever,” I said,


    reaching for the buckle he pushed my hands, and before I knew it, he broke the room’s lock and walked


    out leaving me dumbfounded. I got up and left his room quietly.


    I stayed in my room for three days. It finally sank in the Aesop was done. Not once did he check on me. I


    could feel that this was final. I hated myself for allowing it to get to this. I should have just left well enough


    alone and lived in Chloe’s shadow. However hurtful, he Wasn’t beating me up and pimping me out to


    men like Regan. I should have loved Luke and kept the peace in the home. My mother did this to me.


    She was the one that gave me all the bad advice that led me down this road. Aesop was a good man,


    and I had pushed too hard. I refused to eat ore out, hoping that Aesop would be worried enough to


    check on me, but he never did. Monica tried, but I shut her out too. I was a mess. I missed Aesop, and I


    felt alone. Caleb did not bother to check To my surprise, it was Tia that sent food to me.


    The handover was in two days, after which I was sure Luke would kick me out. I began to think of


    committing suicide. I could not go back to Dome. I was afraid of Kegan and what he would do to me. I


    disobeyed him. He was my husband, and I betrayed him for love. I was supposed to marry Aesop and kill


    him and Luke, but I didn’t. I fell in love and got pregnant instead. It was a simple n. Regan called me


    to Neev so I could seduce Aesop and get close to him enough to make him fall in love. It was a long-term


    investment that Regan was hoping would yield profit. My orders were simple. Get him to marry me and


    then kill him and his heir, get back with my husband and transfer all the assets I inherit from Aesop’s


    demise to Regan. I couldn’t do it.


    I loved Aesop and Luke, and I couldn’t do it. I decided to take my chances and be free of Regan by


    investing all I had in the marriage with Aesop. Regan haled me for it. My marriage with Aesop is null and


    void, but no one can ever know, and that is why I am willing to take it to my grave. No one can know that


    Regan is my mate and Monica is our daughter. Caleb will be seen as a bastard, and I do not want that


    for him. I am willing to die with my secrets. I did this for all of us. Before Aesop, we were starving My


    parents and my daughter were hungry. Regan barely sent money to them, and I had to work double in


    Cleeve. With Aesop, I knew my daughter would be cared for, and my parents would be okay. I had to do


    it. Aesop was so sweet that I fell quickly. If only I had been kinder and did not listen to my mother’s


    advice. She would have been a better mate for Regan if she was younger.


    I decided that if Aesop chose to kick me out pernanently, he would be burying my corpse because there


    was no way I was going back to the life that I detested so much.


    I was lying down thinking of my life when my phone started ringing. I checked to see who it was and it


    was an unknown number. I instantly knew who it was, and my heart was in my mouth.


    “Hello,” I said.


    “Stacy.” The arrogant voice that had gued my life since I was a teenager said, and my body cringed


    “Alpha Regan…” I said with a shaky voice. “Luna Stacy, I am yet to receive the money,” he said, and I did


    not know what to tell him.


    “Please, Regan. I do not have money. I have nothing. You have taken everything from me, and now


    Aesop and I are separated. Please, let it go.” I pleaded with him in tears, and he began tough. “The


    fool finally saw you for what you are and has moved on,” he said, and I cringed.” You are resourceful,


    and I need that money, or you won’t like what will happen,” he warned coldly.

    “Please, Regan,” I said in tears,” I have nothing,” I pleaded with him. “And whose fault is that, Stacy. You


    had one fucking job to do, and you decided to fall in love. You would have been better off if you had done


    what I instructed. I want that money, or I wille after your son, his mate and your granddaughter.


    Stacy, it is a promise, and you know I always keep my promises,” he threatened.


    “Please, Regan. Let mee back to you. I will work for you. I will work for every penny. Leave my


    family out of this,” I pleaded with you.


    “Have you looked in the mirror? Your value has dropped, Stacy, and besides, I do not pimp women


    anymore, let alone my wife; thanks to you and your rich fool, I am in the big leagues now,” he said, and I


    felt insulted, but I needed to get through to him.


    “Tell me what I need to do, and I will do it,” I said, and he sighed.


    “You have nothing I want, Stacy. I want money from you; if you can’t give me that, then I will take your


    loved ones from you one at a time so you will feel the pain of betrayal,” he said andughed.” Irony of


    life, you betrayed me for the very man that has now kicked you to the curb. Hope it was fun while it


    lasted,” he said and hung up. With those words, I knew I was in trouble. I needed help. Knowing Caleb


    and Emma’s lives were in danger, I had to do something about it. It was time toe clean, but I did not


    know who I should tell. Caleb was irrational. Luke hates me, and Aesop can’t stand me. This was an


    urgent situation. I could not let Regan get to Caleb and Emma. I needed to do something. Maybe hire


    someone to guard them. I still had some jewellery I could sell for money. That will buy me enough time to


    figure out what to do.
