Chapter 514
What was once an assignment turned into something much more... complicated.
"I have to get to work," she told him, kissing his chest as she sat up. He nodded, running his fingers through his hair as he too sat up, reluctantly releasing his hold on her. "And you have work to do today, too, Alpha."
She winked at him.
He grinned as he watched her slide out of the bed, completely naked and unashamed. She was used to him seeing her body like this, so she walked around him naked all the time, which he didn't mind in the least.
He got out of bed, too, and grabbed her hand, pulling her towards the bathroom with a playful wink.noveldrama
"Not before we shower," he teased.
She giggled as she let him pull her into the shower, where they not only washed each other, but also and another round.
By the time they were done, they were breathless and giggling, unable to pull
apart from one another. They eventually had to go to their respectful jobs.
....
"A ring??" Taylor asked, his eyes wide as he stared at the diamond ring that Gavin presented.
Gavin nodded, closing the little black box.
"I'm going to propose to her," he replied, a smile on his face.
"Are you sure you're ready for that?" Taylor asked. "That's a huge step, and didn't you swear off relationships?"
"Rachel is different," Gavin told him. "We are different. She's the real deal, and I'd like it if I had my best friend's support."
Taylor patted him on the back.
"You know you'll always have my support. So, when are you going to do it?" "Tonight," Gavin replied. "I'm taking her to her favorite restaurant and then I'll pop the question."
"Congratulations, Man," Taylor said.
Meanwhile, at the hospital, Rachel continues her work in her office. She's pretending to work on a clinical trial, but in reality, she's putting together some of the new information she found out about Gavin's company, getting ready to send it to her real boss.
She could hear the chatter of some of the doctors outside of her office door; she knew one of them to be Elizabeth Pierce, the mate of Beta Taylor.
"Yeah, he told me he saw the ring and everything," Elizabeth said to her coworker. "I never thought I'd see the day that Gavin Landry actually got married again." Married?!
Rachel's heart dropped deep into her stomach.
Was Gavin really planning on proposing to her?
Guilt started to eat away at her because Gavin didn't truly know her. She couldn't marry him under these fault pretenses, though she's
starting to realize that she ward no
nothing more than to be his wife.
She truly did love him more than words could express, but he deserved so much better than her... someone who was sent to him as a spy... someone who was releasing company and personal information to his enemy. She had to get out of here before she got stuck marrying him under these fake pretenses.
Without a word, she packed up her office stuff and hurried out of the hospital. Her heart was racing as she got into her car, tears pricking the comer of her eyes. She knew she couldn't go back to the villa and see him because she would change her mind immediately. She would fall into the trap of marriage and marry a man who knew next to nothing real about her.
It wasn't fair to him.
She pulled out her phone and called her boss.
"I have to return," she told him before he could get a word in. "I've fallen too hard,
and things got way more complicated. I can't keep this up anymore. I sent you more information via your email, but that's all I can get you..."
There was silence on the other end.
"Okay," he finally said after a long pause. "Return as soon as you can."
He hung up without another word; relief flooded her that he wasn't going to put up a fight. But now she needed to figure out how she was going to get out of this without Gavin knowing something was up. She wasn't the only spy in this pack... or working in the hospital, so she knew she could enlist for some help if needed.
Then, a thought came to her... the only thought she could have at that moment.
She sent out some text messages on her burner phone, her heart racing in her chest. After she received the reply she wanted, she took a deep breath, put her car in drive, and peeled away from the hospital as fast as she could... this was the only option.
