Chapter 67: 67-They Like To Fuck Each Other’s Girlfriends
Verity:
Flashback Continues:
He moved toward the elevator, his eyes flicking to the display.
I had already taken the stairs.
The rest of the day passed uneventfully. I didn’t meet Alpha King Ragnar. He never came in.
I didn’t see Theodore again either.
He hadn’t left his office by the time I did.
I stayed in the general lobby most of the day, flipping through magazines and going over my duties with the HR manager.
When it was time to go home, I stepped out into the parking lot.
I spotted Theodore by his car, his attention fixed on his phone.
I kept behind a few cars, watching him, as another man approached the car beside his.
"Brother!"
Theodore lifted his head, his tone lighter.
He spread his arms as if they had not seen each other in years.
It was Alpha King Jaguar.
I went still at the sight of them.
These were the men who had stripped my brother and recorded him.
Their lives had moved on.
As if nothing had happened.
Nothing about them showed what they had done.
Jaguar was tall, nearly Theodore’s height. Lean, but built in a way that made his shoulders seem broader.
His hair fell long at the back, neater at the front, framing his face. Even from a distance, his green eyes stood out.
He gave Theodore a firm pat on the back.
The sight of them standing so close twisted something in me.
Because of them, my brother was gone. Seeing them like this, laughing and at ease, felt wrong.
They kept talking, laughing, and I turned to leave before I lost control.
I could not afford to break down here. Not now.
As I was about to leave, a woman’s cheerful voice cut through the air.
I stopped and turned back.
"Baby, I missed you so much today."
It was the same woman I had seen earlier with Theodore.
She walked up, smiling, and wrapped her arms around Jaguar.
For a moment, I just stared and then my jaw hit the floor.
At that moment, it made sense.
She was not Theodore’s girlfriend.
She was Jaguar’s.
She had been in his brother’s bed.
Behind his back.
The corners of my lips slowly lifted.
So they were not untouchable after all.
"How was your day?" Jaguar asked, cupping her face in his hands and pulling her in for a kiss.
"It was amazing."
As she answered, I noticed her eyes flicker to the side ever so slightly.
And I understood.
I had discovered a secret about them, one that I could always exploit.
End Of Flashback.
The moment I got home, I threw my bag aside.
Even then, I couldn’t calm down.
I anxiously paced around the living room.
Jaguar getting back together with his ex was not a good thing.
And not just any ex.
It was Aster Williams, the same woman I thought he had broken up with because she got into an argument with Gigi.
Well, technically, they had broken up because of that first argument.
Then she apologized, and they got back together.
Later, she had another disagreement with Gigi, and they parted ways again.
Their relationship had always been on and off, mostly because of Gigi.
What I could tell now, however, was that Jaguar had absolutely no idea she had also been sleeping behind his back with Theodore.
That realization made me wonder about the brothers’ relationship.
Why the heck would Theodore do that?
Was he lacking women?
No.
From everything I knew about the brothers, women practically threw themselves at them.
Especially Theodore because, well, I had heard stories about his bedroom exploits, and they were pretty wild.
Women always seemed to leave satisfied.
Well, things had reached a point where I was completely trapped.
I did not like their intentions.
The way they had ignored me all day made me feel as if they had forgotten about me.
So what could I do to remind them that I was still here?
Or to figure out what else was going on?
I picked up my phone and bit down on my bottom lip, tapping my foot against the floor.
Well, I knew one thing. I knew exactly where Theodore would be right now.
He would be with Gigi.
And how did I know that?
Because I had seen Gigi’s story.
She had posted a picture of the restaurant where she was headed to have dinner with him.
I noticed plenty of girls acting jealous in the comments, and she replied to every single one of them.
Laughing emojis, heart emojis, tongue-sticking-out emojis.
In hindsight, she was being mean.
It felt like she was showing off how privileged she was to receive the attention of the Alpha King brothers.
I couldn’t figure out how to go against her.
At the same time, I also needed to keep her happy because I had realized something.
One hint from her, and all the hard work I had put in would come crumbling down.
That was when I gave Theodore a missed call.
It was a tiny call. I just wanted to see what was going on.
My heart pounded in my chest as I quickly ended the call before he could answer.
Then I sat on the living room sofa and started reading.
He didn’t call back.
Not until after midnight.
A text finally came through.
Alpha King Theodore: You called? Is everything okay?
It was the driest text imaginable, and I knew that because he usually checked on me in much more compassionate ways.
I didn’t reply immediately.
Fifteen minutes passed before I responded.
Me: Oh, I’m so sorry. It was, um, an accidental dial. I was trying to call someone else.
Then I sat back and continued reading, waiting for him to say something.
He didn’t respond.
Not until the next morning, when he sent a single word.
Alpha King Theodore: Okay.
I realized I needed to step up my game.
These things were not working, not when Gigi was involved.
In a way, she was right.
Her hold over the brothers was incredible.
If I wanted to break it, I would have to completely take over their minds and hearts.
