Chapter 27

Sheila’s peaceful sleep was rudely interrupted by the ringing of her phone. She hadn’t slept early because of everything that had gone on last night. She and Goldie had been chatting through the night, and it was barely dawn when they managed to catch some sleep.

When she picked up the phone and saw Alpha Nick’s name, she yawned, silenced it, and dropped it, not knowing it continued ringing. But when she heard a vibration, which was her message tone, she quickly checked and saw the text message.

‘If you don’t answer my call now, don’t expect me to show up in court for the final divorce procedures.‘

The sleep cleared from her eyes instantly, and in order not to wake Goldie, she rushed to the balcony before dialing Alpha Nick’s number. He answered on the first ring, saddened at how eager she was to get the divorce over with when she was the one who confessed to being in love with him.

Before she could voice her anger, his desperate cry sounded at the end of the line. “Sheila, I need a favor.”

Sheila was annoyed for her sleep to be disturbed but could also not help feeling that Alpha Nick was just looking

for a way to prolong the court proceedings again.

Athena’s case was understandable, but Sheila was not ready to accept any more delays as that would equally affect her plans. She was a busy woman who had already wasted six months in her pursuit of love.

“Alpha Nick, please cut the crap.” Her voice was stern, but for the first time, Alpha Nick felt unease with the

formality.

“Stop calling me that. We were married for six months. You should call me Nick.”
