Jealousy
They got to a restaurant in the city, which Sam had already booked before coming, and a waitress took them to their seats and asked them what they wanted to eat. They told the waitress what they would be having, and after getting their order, the waitress left their table.
“So, do you like this place?” Sam asked, staring into her eyes intently.
“Yeah, it’s nice.” She also replied. She was happy to be there with him, but she couldn’t just stop herself from spacing out.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
“I’m glad. So why did you leave your previous job?” He asked with curiosity.
“I once told you how the man acts around women, so I had to leave before he tried anything funny with me,” she replied.
“Oh yeah, I remember.” He said, nodding his head in agreement. Then suddenly, he took her left hand with his across the table and said, “You can always ask for my help; do you understand?” He continued.
“Yeah, thank you.” She replied with a sweet smile. He was about to say another thing when the waitress brought their food. He let go of her hand and thanked the waitress. As she was about to dig into her food, she started feeling nauseous and felt like vomiting, she quickly pushed the plate of pasta away from her before she destroyed the whole restaurant.
“Are you okay?” Sam asked, noticing how she had been so uncomfortable. “Yeah, I’m fine. I’ll be right back; I need to go to the bathroom.” She said to avoid any more questions from him; she doesn’t want him to find out about what’s wrong with her.
The man, who was watching them the whole time called Alex, but he wasn’t picking up; instead, he sent him the pictures he took of them.

In a room, some people could be seen sitting around a long table, their gaze focused on the man holding a pointer that he was using to give his presentation. Alex also sat at the last end of the table; he was also focused before his phone, which was on the table, vibrated. He checked his phone and saw that his informant had sent him some pictures. He looked at them, and suddenly he felt a sudden wave of anger. “Is she kidding me?” He scoffed. He saw her smiling with a guy, and not only that, but the guy was holding her hands. He was so angry, and at the same time, jealous.
The people in the room looked in his direction; they were already so scared of his aura, so hearing him scowl made them even more scared.
None of them could say a word to him; moreover, they had no choice but to have the late meeting in the first place. Suddenly, he stood up and left the room without saying anything to them.
He left the company in a hurry and entered his car without waiting for his assistant, who was running behind him. He was so angry; even his wolf was so angry.
Ellie went back to her seat after vomiting all her stomach out. She took a cup of water and noticed that the pasta was gone and had been replaced by dessert.
“Should I take you to a hospital?” Sam asked.
“No, I’m fine; I just haven’t been taking good care of my health lately.” She answered. She didn’t want to show any signs of sickness, but she was already failing miserably, which was making her embarrassed. “Ellie, you’re just so pathetic.” She thought.
She was about to eat the dessert when she felt the door of the restaurant open with a loud noise. She saw people looking in that direction. She also looked back and saw the man she never expected walking towards her.
She felt like a cold bottle of water had just been poured on her face; she shivered in her seat with fear. “What are you doing here?” He asked, looking at the girl, whose head was already bowed in silence.
Without saying anything again, he grabbed her hand and turned towards the man. “I will be taking my woman with me now.” He dragged her out of the restaurant.
Sam stood there in silence, not knowing what to say. He wanted to stop the man, but he was the CEO of Warren Corporation. He didn’t want to mess with someone more powerful than him. Even though he couldn’t stop himself from wondering why he came to take Ellie with her.
He also left the restaurant when he saw different eyes looking at him.
Ellie tried all she could to stop him from dragging; she tried to get her hand out of his grip, but his grip was just too hard. “Let go of me.” She said, raising her voice in anger.
“Stop making so much noise, and get into the car before I carry you in myself.” He said back to her, opened the front seat door, dragged her inside, and locked it to avoid her running out. He also went to the driver’s seat and opened the door before locking it again.
He drove the car and sped away from the restaurant. “Where are you taking me?” She asked, still raising her voice at him. “You’ll find out when we get there.” He answered.
“Why are you doing this to me?” She asked in tears, but he didn’t answer her. Instead, he just concentrated more on the road. Tears were falling out of her eyes, and she wondered what Sam must be thinking right now. “I must get rid of this pregnancy as soon as possible.” She thought.
The car finally stopped in front of a big restaurant. It was so big that Ellie guessed it was only for rich people.
He got out of the car and opened the door for her to get out. “What are we doing here?” She asked.
“Well, I thought that you might want to eat dinner, so why not eat it with me instead of going out with a weird-looking guy to a cheap restaurant?” He said with a mocking smile on his face.
Ellie didn’t say a word, nor did she find him funny. “He’s such a fool.” She thought.
“Hey, stop thinking now, and let’s go in.” He said, dragging her again into the restaurant.
