Unknowingly Adam returned home. I held the trashcan in my hand and on my way out, bumped into him.

"Rona?"
He pulled the can from falling, seizing the sight of the shirt inside.
"Is that mine?" He asks, looking up to hear my response.
"Yes, dear?" A quick nod and he placed the can swiftly removing the cloth.

Adams's torn shirt felt a lot suspicious to me, Something is off about it, and if that wasn't enough, my eyes wandered off to see a lady ambling through the front door.

He noticed my attention was divided and he knots his eyes back seeing the same thing I did.
"Alma?", He called stunned to see her.

A lady whom I had no idea of walked in, Adam made a new turn down the stairs.

"Adam?".
She runs in and hugged him.
I watched from a far distance lost forgetting I was supposed to toss the trashcan away.

Adam walks further with her into his study room, blocking every possible way of listening to their conversation.

I went to the kitchen and open up the back door to throw away the things inside a trashcan when a voice let out from behind.

"Hello dear".

Immediately out of fear, I had the trashcan tossed as well, veering my eyes back to see it was Alma.

"Good evening ma'am, how may I help you?".

Although I asked that deep down I wondered, how come she entered the kitchen without at least making a noise. Not even her footsteps were heard.

"Can I get a glass of water please?".
Alma says forming a weak smile on her countenance.

In a cursive state, I approached the fridge, brought out a jar of water, and at the side back to her holding both the jar of water and a glass cup.
( Poured the water inside the glass)

"Here you go, ma'am?".

She takes it from me and gulped down every last drop of water inside the glass without pause.
Damn!! Alma must be thirsty.

"Thank you very much".

Her feet woke up and she leaves the kitchen still wearing a weak smile, I looked and thereafter returned to get the trashcan I accidentally threw away.

(10:00 pm)

It was precisely ten in the evening, Adam was seated in the living room with Alma and I was finally done with all the house chores.

"Going home?".
Adam said veering my attention to him.
I nodded and he thanked me for the help I rendered before leaving.

I walked out with my purse and the minute my presence wasn't perceived away more, Alma said to him ( Adam) remaking his attention on her.

"There's something strange or better yet special about this maid, I think I like her".

Adam smiles at her words, before replying to them.

"I'm certain you will but Rona is not just any lady, I've been keeping a close watch on her for a very long time".

"Why's that?".
Alma gears up a lot interested in the topic.

And he goes telling the truth, "Well miss alma, it seems that my mate wasn't Vivian at all, it's Rona and her getting this job wasn't a mare twist of fate, it was only because I planned it that way".

Alma gasped out in disbelieve, "Oh my gosh, Mr. Adam Kahan, you're such a manipulate son of a bitch, and come to think of it, how will Rona accept the fact she's mated to a bloodthirsty alpha, can love to bloom between you both?".

Alma made a lot of sense, Adam rest his back on the couch and said.
"Only time will tell if she would love a bloodthirsty alpha or not".
