Chapter 96: Chapter 96

Someone explain to me what's going on here. What is Chad doing in this place and why does he feel so familiar yet so alien to me? And what about that earlier action? He so easily dodged my driver not to mention he looks so much more different.

Finally, I understand myself just to say that in high school he was already strong, but he did not have this dangerous aura to the point where my instinct was on the lookout. It looked like my part of the wolf was about to fight and I wasn't the only one as I could feel the hostility in the air coming from my driver. It wasn't just his job as a driver that made him so suspicious of Chad anymore, it was more like he sensed danger and needed to be on his guard.

What was this incongruous situation?

I looked up at Chad, it hadn't been long since we broke up but he seemed to have changed, well I had changed too but I had my reasons given my nature. But there was indeed something really strange in him.

" Please Miss Sophia stay away from this man."

I heard my driver speak and nodded.

" Miss? Wow sweetie this city made you successful. You have a magnificent car and driver. Plus? Wait, it's not been that long since you left home after your mother died and I'm meeting you here like this? We need to talk…"

I frowned. Chad has always addressed me with a soft, almost submissive voice, but there I can sense the arrogance in his tone. Is it the fact that I kicked him out coldly that makes him that way?

" Miss …"

I reached for my driver to stop him, there was something and my wolf signaled me that Chad was also in an attack position. If my driver commits imprudence, he will have to retort and counterattack. What is this situation?

" Calm down... I know him, he was a classmate in high school."

Chad frowned at this presentation.

" Just a ... comrade?"

I glared at Chad as I asked him to shut it up. He chuckled before crossing his arms.

" Oh, I understand now. You found yourself a millionaire in the city of light as it is so well called. He keeps you going and even gives you a car with a driver. Everything you ever dreamed of that the poor country kid that I am could never have given you and now I'm just a comrade. Honey, I knew you were superficial and materialistic, but at this point…"

A slap

I wasn't going to stand there while I was being unfairly insulted. He doesn't know anything about me, what I've been through since my mother was murdered, so he doesn't come to condescend to me. I can't stand it, especially since this presentation protects us both, I don't want Greg to get the wrong ideas.

" Don't you dare insult me ​​anymore, do you understand?"

" Miss Sophia…"

" I'm doing well…"

Chad's eyebrows were furrowed to the extreme as he held my wrist, my driver ready to pounce.

"Stay where you are. I'll manage."

He sat up not really in the mood to obey but he had no choice, an order from Luna is indisputable so even if it makes him sick he must obey.

" What do you want, Chad? And what are you doing here?"

Chad sighed before letting go of me.

" I'm sorry Sophia I didn't mean to insult you, it's just that... Understand me it killed me the days after you left, I wanted to understand all those horrible words you threw at Stacy and me. I didn't understand, it was just a kiss even though she was in love with me it didn't mean to me. But that you treat me so badly for that when you had an affair with another... No Sophia, that wasn't fair. You must have been hiding something I'm sure of it. I know you've always been very selfish and tyrannical but you weren't such a big bitch deep down…"

" Pardon?"

" What I mean is that you have certainly always loved crushing others, using them, and throwing them away, but you had a certain tenderness towards those you had chosen as your friends, Stacy was one of them. Even if she was just your foil as you wanted us to believe, you loved her too. You've protected her since kindergarten from people who tried to harass her, that's not nothing... Beneath your detestable tyrant airs was hiding a warm and caring person, which made me fall in love with you irremediably. But after your mother died you changed, you became a real bitch, Stacy and I took it upon ourselves. We thought you were probably in a lot of pain so we put up with your harsh remarks and horrible words. But we didn't understand that you threw us away so badly, Stacy cried for days and I didn't understand your reaction."

Chad looked at my driver before looking at me.

" Can we go and talk in private? I have to tell you something important."

I looked at Chad before seeing the sincerity and determination in his gaze. I nodded then turned to my driver.

" I will go to my office with him. Please wait for me here."

" Isn't it a dangerous miss?"

" No, don't worry."

He nodded, maintaining his position although I'm sure Greg will be updated within the hour. I sighed, I wonder how it will be again. I led Chad into my office receiving strange looks from the employees around but I didn't care. We went to the top floor and whistled at the decor and luxuries.

" Do you work here? And on the top floor too? It's not to make my language bad but we are talking about Travis Entertainment, the group of the richest men in the world, and here it is the head office with at its head the man in person. And you tell me that you work there? As what? Stacy, I would have thought because of the two frankly she is the one who would have had the best chance of being recruited here but you... You weren't so smart in high school anyway."

I wanted to hit that idiot but hey he's not wrong too so I'm not going to blame him.

" I'm the personal assistant of Greg Travis ... Yes, I was not so stupid at the bottom."

Chad frowned.

" That's even stranger. You have never studied management and here you hold one of the most sought-after positions alongside the most sought-after man in existence. Frankly, I can't get used to this idea."

"You will have to be. Although I haven't always been the smartest, I've always had a lot of cards up my sleeve and I know how to use them. There's no point in looking shocked Chad, I have unsuspected assets."

I smiled victoriously, more like Greg Travis is my man but he doesn't need to know that. It would please him too much if he knew he was right, that I was boosted so that I only have this position by favor. No, this moron must understand that studying is important, but other parameters can come into play.

" Hm. I see... Well, that's not the subject I asked to talk to you about."

" Yes, I'm listening."

I asked him to take a seat on the couch as I sat across from him handing him a bottle of water.

"THANKS."

" SO?"

He was silent for a long time, starting to piss me off before finally speaking.

" your mother... She was murdered."

I rolled my eyes, this was news I was unaware of. But is he laughing at me or what?

"I know you know it, everyone knows it, the police of our state did not find the murderer, and blah blah... Don't look at me like that, will you?"

" So don't waste my time with information that I already know."

" You haven't changed on this point.. still so bitchy."

" You didn't complain about it before. Oh, I forget brainless idiots just muscles don't think in front of a pretty girl."

" Yeah, I never said that I was very smart or that I like nice girls, otherwise I would have preferred Stacy. I rather fall for egocentric and cruel sluts…"

We stared at each other for a long time before bursting out laughing.

" Honestly, how did we stay together for so long?"

I asked, wiping away a tear from the side of my eye.

" Well, because we knew who the other was without making up our minds or wanting to change it. We accepted each other despite our ugly flaws."

I smiled in acceptance, he knew I was a bitch and I knew he was a hateful bully. But that didn't interest us, we accepted each other that way.

" So, what do you want to say at the end?"

" Well, Sophia, what I'm going to tell you is a secret passed down in my family from generation to generation, I shouldn't tell you but... Not only was your mother a victim of it but... It's about you and you know how important you are to me."

I nodded as Chad continued.

" Your mother was murdered by lycanthropes, non-human beings often wrongly called werewolves in urban legends. How do I know? I am part of an organization responsible for getting rid of these evil beings. I am a hunter."

No, but tell me that I'm dreaming.
