Verity:
I’ve been thinking about Fox King ever since.
I mean, I had relaxed my mind so much that I convinced myself nothing like that existed.
And then, suddenly, this whole drama started.
Jaguar had texted me, telling me they had brought Alpha King Ragnar home.
He didn’t give me any other information.
He just said he was sending a car and that I needed to get home quickly because Ragnar had some files to work on with me.
There were also a few files I had brought with me that I needed him to sign.
After I woke up, I dressed in a green pencil skirt with a white shirt and a green blazer.
I left my hair down and waited for the car to arrive.
When it did, I walked out of the house, only to find Mrs. Baker standing at her front door with her soon-to-be son-in-law, Tom.
"What’s the problem?" he wondered out loud.
She wasn’t responding to him.
Tom was the one shouting the loudest, so I slowed down as I entered the gate code.
"Why are you doing this to me?" he shouted.
I could easily imagine several neighbours trying to eavesdrop on whatever was happening in their house.
"It’s just that you upset her!" Mrs. Baker snapped before looking at me and forcing a smile.
I noticed her gesturing for Tom to be quiet.
"Why? No, you cannot silence me! Your daughter expects so much from me, but she gives me so little in return!"
As he shouted, I realised the problem was between the lovebirds.
It also seemed that Mrs. Baker wasn’t letting Tom into the house.
While they continued arguing, I walked over and got into the car.
I’ll come back later to find out what was going on.
At least I knew Jaguar had paid them to keep an eye on me.
When I reached the mansion, I had already spotted the cars outside.
Gigi’s purple Rolls-Royce was parked there as well, so I knew she had returned and was here again.
As soon as I stepped inside, everyone was gathered in the living room with Ragnar, who didn’t look like he knew why I was there.
"Oh, Verity!" Theodore called, hurrying towards me before anyone else.
Jenna, Oliver, Gigi, Gigi’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Bundy, and Lady Lucille were all sitting in the living room, having tea when I arrived.
It seemed that only Theodore and Jaguar knew I was coming.
The way Gigi gave me a warm, reassuring smile felt strangely unsettling.
Jaguar, who was coming downstairs, hurried over to me as well.
"Oh, Verity, you’re here," he said, motioning for me to step into the guest room.
I glanced at everyone before walking into the guest room, where the two of them followed me.
Before they could even lock the door, Gigi walked in as well.
Alarm bells immediately started ringing in my head.
"Are you all ganging up on me?" I asked quietly, trying to make a joke out of the situation.
"Yes, we are," Gigi replied with a smile.
"What’s going on?" I asked softly.
"Well, you know Ragnar was sick last night." She paused and placed a hand on her chest. "Thankfully, it wasn’t a heart attack, but he possibly has too much strength flowing through his body. He’s also been overworking himself mentally with all these projects. So we’ve decided he should rest. At the same time, he’s determined to keep working, so we thought, why not bring his work home instead?"
