Dangerous Desires Novel

49 Oops | Said It Tia.

| was shocked at Alpha Aesop’s words. He was very clear about his intentions, and his threat resounded. | could not believe this man would resolve to do this all to please his wife. As much as | knew Luke would never leave me, even if it were to please him, I still had to be wise and careful about how I chose to handle the matter. | did not want to create a problem between father and son, and | did not want to be in Alpha Aesop’s bad books; Stacy was already my enemy, and she was a powerful one at that. | did not need another powerful enemy on my case.

I looked at the man in the eyes, and his stern gaze faltered. | wanted him to feel like the bully he was. | wanted him to be ashamed.

“Do as | have said, Tia,” he ordered with a less angry tone, and | looked at Monica and saw a smirk on her face.

At that moment, | said to myself, “Fuck being nice. This bitch is definitely going down”.

“As | said, | have no problem with you or your threats. You want to make your son throwout, fine. If Luke says I should go, | won't fight it, but he still has to approve Monica working with Gail. | am just a figurehead. As you have said, | hold no power here. | am insignificant and replaceable also; | do not suggest things to Luke. | follow whatever he says. If tomorrow he is tired ofand decides to throwaway, so be it. | never had control over these things, but thank you for lettingknow how you seeand the extent of your love. | am grateful, Alpha Aesop,” | said calmly, and he looked ashamed. | guess he realised he had gone too far and pushed too much.

“Be assured | won't tell your son what you said tohere, but if you want to carry out your threats, | am fine with it,” | added, and he left the window and walked about the office. “Why don’t you like Monica?” He asked.

“Should | speak freely?” | asked him, and he nodded.

“Well, she is older than me, clearly, but you say otherwise, so | will not argue. She has no relation to Luke, so | have a problem with how she stares at my husband and tries to flirt with him at every opportunity. She does not respect me, never has, and never will; she is Stacy's niece, the swoman who helped Timothy Miles defraud this company of millions without consequences. Overall, Stacy is looking for money to pay her blackmailer, whom she has been paying for Twenty-three years..” | said, and the man did not letfinish when he exclaimed.

“What!!!!” he asked, obviously did not know. At this point, | had no guilt about telling him. | wasn’t the one that promised not to tell; that was Luke. “That is a lie; she is lying, Uncle,” Monica said, and he shut her up angrily.

“Yes, alpha. She and Monica accosted Luke andon our way to our holiday home, begging Luke to help her.

She said she had been paying up for Twenty-three years and was desperate about it. Luke said no and told her to cclean to you, and she took offence. Apparently, that is why she has been stealing money. | have her bank statement dating to two years of her huge sum transfers to an offshore shell company called Tektite. She pleaded with Luke not to tell Satult you, which was why he hasn't, hoping she would cclean. So you see why | can’t have her niece near my office or gain any access to sensitive documents. If Gail is overwhelmed, | will employ someone qualified to assist her. Someone that can be punished if they commit a crime, someone that can be held accountable without bias,” | said, and he was stunned.

Alpha Aesop could not believe what | had just told him. He sat gently on the couch, and it seemed like the man was about to have a heart attack “Should I call the medical staff?” | asked him, and he shook his head and undid his necktie. He was in shock, and | couldn't blhim. This woman had kept the blackmail thing from him all the years they were together. “Uncle, she is lying,” Monica managed.

“Shut up!!! How dare you call your Luna a lair!!! Tia does not tell lies. She might be mean, but she doesn’t tell lies. | believe her,” He said and looked at me. “Call HR now and have Monica fired,” He said, and I almost laughed, but | held it together. Picking up the phone without hesitation. “So this was what Stacy wanted you to do here? That was why she mounted pressure on me? So she could steal from my son to pay whoever?” He said with anger. His key mark might be dormant, but we still felt the pressure of his rage. “You will burn in hell, Tia.

You will regret this. My aunt never did anything to you,” Monica said in tears, and | paused the call.

“Oh, but she did?” | said to Monica with a smile,” | just won't give her room to do more. Besides, Alpha Aesop needs to know what is going on since it is all life-threatening,” Monica was mad at me.

“You bitch,” She said, and I smiled.

“Aren't we all?” | asked and told HR what alpha Aesop wanted. Putting the phone receiver back and smiled at Monica.

“You are to clear your desk immediately. Security will see you out. Feel free to find employment elsewhere. | am sure your uncle will give you a good recommendation. It is not personal, really, but family comes first. If this blackmailer is as dangerous as your aunty claims, then the head of our family should know.” | said, and she could not speak a word. “I am sorry about trying to force your hand Tia,” Alpha Aesop said, and that was one too many sorries to mean anything, but | accepted being polite.

“Luke is lucky,” he said with tears in his eyes, and | realised that the revelation struck a nerve. He did not say a word and left the office. | exhaled deeply and tried to relax. My heart was pounding in my chest, unsure of where the talk would lead. | knew Stacy would have it hard, but | did not know what would follow. | wasn’t expecting alpha Aesop to do anything about it, but he deserved to know the truth about his mate. | closed earlier than | usually did and rushed home. | needed to tell Luke what had transpired. | did not want his father or Stacy to beatto it. He might be mad atfor telling his father about the blackmailer, but | wanted to kick Stacy back for how she had treatedand to protect the business by all means.

Luke wasn’t home, and | chose to soak in the bath and have a glass of champagne. It was seven in the evening, and | knew he would soon be home. Usually, | left the office by nine because of the workload, but | could not stay that long this time, so | closed by six in the evening, which should have been the regular closing hours for staff.

Michelle brought the champagne toin the bath, and she knew | was somehow stressed. “Take it easy, Luna,” she said as she served the champagne, and | smiled sweetly at her. “I will be making dinner in the kitchen. Linkif you need anything,” She said and left. | stayed in the bath until the water beccold. When | finished applying lotion on my skin, | wore my bathrobe, and Luke walked in, smelling like he had showered. “Hearly,” he said and cto grabfrom behind. He kissed my neck and nibbled my ear. Goddess, he smelled good. | breathed in his cinnamon scent, and it was sweet. | moaned sweetly, and | knew what was coming.

| turned around to face him, and he smiled sweetly at me.

“I want you to get in bed,” he said, and | frowned at him. He looked well-rested for someone that was training all day which meant he had ended his training a few hours ago. | obeyed him with the bathrobe on and went to bed.

He went to the dresser and brought out four cuffs, and | knew what he wanted to do.

Without saying a word, | let him cuffto the bed. He opened my robe but did not take it off; | was naked underneath it. He took off his clothes, pulled out a big white feather, and smiled at me. Kneeling on the bed, between my legs, facing me, he gazed into my eyes with a mystifying look and smiled.

“You been a bad girl, Tia and tonight I will punish you,” He said and ran the feather against my skin.
