Classic Novel
Chapter 22
Tanya and I were both walking around the compound, but my mind was somewhere else and I couldn’t concentrate on our conversation.
“So that’s all about me, now your turn,”
I had not even realized she was done talking until I felt her warm hand on my shoulder, and I jerked a little in fright,
“Katherine, were you even listening to me? What’s wrong? Is something bothering you? Or did my brother do anything?”
I shook my head in negation, “No, Leo didn’t do anything, and I don’t think he ever would. I was beginning to trust him so much even though I had promised myself I wouldn’t trust any soul again. After all, he had almost risked his life to save mine,
“Tanya,” I called her name and halted. Because I did, she stopped as well. “What can you tell me about Leo? I need to know anything, but you don’t have to lie to me about anything, I promise I would be mad.”
She stared at me for a long time, probably wondering why I had asked that question. Somehow, I felt a bit unsafe right there in the room, and his anger made me a bit scared of him,
“Well..” Tanya held my hand and began walking with me. “Apart from being a cold and mean ass, I don’t think there’s anything so bad about my brother. Trust me, he’s so good at hiding his feelings, but I still can’t believe he’s so different towards you. I feel so jealous… “I chuckled,
“Your brother loves you a lot, Tanya. Like you said, he’s so good at hiding his feelings, but you can see it in his eyes. I wonder why he treats you that way!”
Tanya cleared her throat aloud, “That’s enough talk about my brother, Katherine, I think it’s time to tell me about yourself. How did you even become my brother’s mate? How did you two meet?” She uttered, and I was about to say something, but we both heard Blake’s voice,
“Katherine.” I halted immediately and turned around to stare at him.
“I’m sorry Tanya, but I guess your chat time with her is over. The Alpha would like to see his mate now,” Blake interrupted, and I felt a bit relieved as I wasn’t ready to start telling her about my past with Zane and my family.
“Even stingy with his mate. She cocked her head towards me, “We’ll catch up later, Katherine, and I promise we’ll be far from my brother this time.” She uttered and I smiled. I was honestly beginning to like Tanya because I felt like she was the little sister I always wanted, but never had.
I walked first, and Blake trailed behind me until we got back to the main mansion. Leo was inside waiting for me, and after what had happened in the room earlier, I had no idea what to say to him.
“Sit.” His voice wasn’t so cold, but it wasn’t warm either. I walked over to the opposite couch and took my seat. Leo raised his gaze at me, and thankfully I couldn’t see that anger in his eyes anymore,
“We’ll stick with whatever you want. He uttered, but I was still silent. His gaze averted to Blake who was standing behind me,
“Alpha Zane already made steps to sign the contract with the company, and once his signature has been written, then you can take over from there. He’ll be benefiting a total of 600 billion from this investment, but when it all goes down the drain, we’ll lose too. His would be greater”
“Thank you, Leo,” I uttered. “They tried to hurt me for a second time, so I think they should get exactly what’s going to come at them. What about Tanya, how exactly are we going to deal with her? Those evil things about her were in the past, and even if we wanted to prove it, whatever we have isn’t enough for that”
“Blake is handling it. There might still be a witness out there. Someone that knows something about what she did to Zane’s father, and we’ll find them at all costs.” He paused for a moment,
*I still insist your step–sister isn’t fit to be in this world, Katherine.”
“Don’t spill blood, Leo, please.” He rose to his feet as I spoke,
“Blake would take you on everything you need to know about the company. You can start tomorrow” Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
