"You wanted me to work for you?"
Sera nodded. This woman majored in business. Surely, she knows something about it, right? Sera gave a gentle smile. "If you think about it, this is going to help you too."
"In what way? I am going to inherit my father's company! I am a future CEO! Why would I work for you?"
"Je'er… don't be like this. I know you aren't that smart, but think about it carefully. I am just a start-up company. If you work for me and the company becomes big in the future, can you imagine what would your father do? Can you imagine the pride that he will feel? Think about it? Right now, he thinks you aren't capable of doing anything aside from shopping and being pretty."
Xu Je'er stared at her, dumbstruck. The thought of seeing her father laugh while praising her for being perfect flashed in her head.
"See?" Sera smiled. "I know you can already see it. If we become big, your father will naturally see your talents! Do you think he would still marry you off to some CEO that no one has seen before?" Victory flashed in Sera's mind. "If we become big in the future, no one would doubt your capability anymore!"
Xu Je'er started beaming as she thought about Sera's words. She was telling the truth, if she becomes the big boss of a start company that became big then her father would never doubt her ever again! Forget marrying her into an old dude, her father would surely never mention that topic again! Stars appeared in her eyes as she thought about it.
'Ah, Sera… did I tell you that you are an angel?" Xu Je'er beamed before she held her hand in front of Sera. "Then we have a deal! I will help you out in this company."

"Help? You will become my company's CEO!" Sera smiled. "What do you think?"
"Really? But— "
"Aish… I am not after these useless titles. As long as I have the money then it won't be a problem." Moreover, if she became a CEO and the company would grow, she would need to attend parties and would risk meeting someone from the Zhang Family!
"Then..it's a deal! I will take care of everything! What about the name of the company?"
"That — " She hasn't thought of any names yet! "I will have to think about it. For now, let's celebrate this matter! Let's eat!"
"Hey! That man looks familiar."
She followed Xu Je'er's gaze and was surprised to see Cross. He was standing at the entrance of the restaurant. She immediately waved her hand. "That's Cross… you have met him before."
"Oh! Your nerd boyfriend?"
Sera rolled her eyes before beaming at the man approaching them. "Hey! How come you're here?"
"You sent me a text. I figured you will be here." Cross sat next to her. A smile was on his face. "Did you rob someone?" he asked.
"Hey! She won a contest! What kind of boyfriend would say that his girlfriend rob someone?" Xu Je'er chimed in. She actually met this man once or twice. And she didn't like him. She felt that he wasn't deserving to become her friend's boyfriend. The man's fashion sense was off, his eyeglasses were too thick, his hair weird. Even that smile of his looks weird!
He might be a little good-looking, but his eyes were different. Xu Je'er already told Sera that this man is weird and the woman would just smile.
"Contest?" Cross smiled. "Then… congratulations! You didn't tell me about it. I could have prepared something."

"It's just the first stage. Just give it to me once I win the first place." Sera answered. "Eat… eat something."
Seeing Sera acting so nicely towards Cross made Xu Je'er snorted. Sera doesn't even treat her like this! Indeed, being in love makes someone blind! Sera was just too beautiful. She was smart too and yet her boyfriend is just… "Hey Cross… how did you know we are here?" Xu Je'er asked. She had never seen Sera text someone on their way here.
"I guessed," Cross said while staring at Sera. "This is her favorite hotpot place. It's easy to guess."
"Oh…" Xu Je'er said. "Then… why don't you treat us today? Did you know? We just decided to start a company. You should pay for everything as a congratulatory gift!" She observed a few changes in the man's face.
"Really?" Cross leaned towards Sera. "Are you sure you will work with this woman?"
"You — Of course she will work with me! I am her best friend after all! Plus, I majored in business. I know a lot of stuff about it."
Sera gave a wry smile. "Yeah, I will work with her. She will become the big boss of the company."
"Oh…" Cross nodded, his eyes devoid of any expression. "Why don't you hire someone more capable? I can help you— "
"Oi, Cross! How could you act like this?" Xu Je'er raised her voice. "We already agreed to work together! Plus, I am really capable!"
Cross snorted and started to take the meat that already started floating on the hotpot. Then he put it in Sera's bowl. "Eat something. Once you are full, think about your decision again. Think about it carefully. Are you really going to trust this woman to handle your company?"

"That's not mine- that THING inside of you!" He yelled. What was he even talking about? Of course it was his, he's the only one I've had sex with. "This is your baby, I can't believe you would-""Get out, Spencer! Now!" I stormed out, with tears streaming down my face. How could he say something so cruel, knowing that he did this to me?

8 163Wrongfully His
#2 in Werewolf 12/05/18 Mated to a Beta and marked by his Alpha. A unique twist on the clichéd possessive Alpha stories."W-what are you doing?" I stuttered helplessly as he stepped closer so I couldn't get away since all that was around was two brick walls that were closing me in. Slowly he stepped closer, each second feeling like minutes. He let out a guttural chuckle that left my entire being trembling. "Paying Carter back" he whispered huskily cocking his head sideways causing me to gulp as his gigantic arms gripped my hips roughly. Forcefully he shifted my body up against the wall, closing the small gap in between us. Ramming his lower half into mine, he allowed every groove of his body to mesh with mine. With no thought his lips attacked my neck as I beat on his chest with all my power hoping and praying to remove him."Leave me alone!" I cried but he didn't listen. His tongue grazed my flesh expertly and in any other case I would have melted under his touch. Inhaling sharply he held me tightly, savoring the moment. Suddenly Nate pulled back slightly and just when I thought he was going to back off he did the unexpected. He opened his mouth revealing his large canine teeth. "No" I pleaded, wounding my fists in his shirt as I pushed against him. Slowly his tongue glided over them, flickering off when he hit the ends. Within a milisecond his teeth plunged deep into my flesh making me let out an ear piercing scream though no one came to my rescue. My wolf was cowering in fear of the demon man that was over powering us with each second that past. "Please" I begged weakly though he ignored me only to grip my sides harder ignoring the pitiful whimpers escaping my lips.My neck felt like it was on fire as his wolf controlled mine with little care. My knees began to shake at a rapid pace though he held me up as he continued dominating me. I grew dizzy and within seconds everything went black.
