Filed to story: Watch Me Win Alpha (Olivia & Ethan)
My palm slammed down against the metal conference table, echoing through the tense room like a gunshot. “Where is
Olivia?” I barked.
The air crackled with energy, the pressure of my Alpha tone pushing most of the room into silence. John dropped to his knees, trembling.
“I swear, Alpha-” his voice cracked, “I don’t know where she is.
If you claim I took her, show me the proof!”
I narrowed my eyes. “You escorted her. She never came back.
And now she’s gone. You want to see proof, John? I’ll give you something better-the end of your career if I don’t get answers.”
I turned to Jimson, who was still standing tall with his arms crossed like this was some petty HR matter. “And you,” I said sharply. “You’re walking a very thin line.”
Jimson lifted his brows in faux confusion. “With all due respect,
Alpha Alexander, are you threatening your own executive staff? For what? A missing secretary?”
That made Heath stir again. My wolf growled from within, barely contained.
“Are you so sure I won’t find her?” I asked.
Jimson didn’t flinch.
Beside him, John gave a nervous chuckle-relief, of all things.
As if something had just been confirmed. That look sent a chill through my spine.
Was Olivia truly not expected to return?
“You’re angry,” Jimson said, voice full of feigned hurt. “And you’re blaming John and me because she vanished. But is this really the behavior of an Alpha, threatening loyal employees over a woman?”
He glanced around the room like he was looking for allies, trying to plant seeds of doubt.
“Do you even hear yourself?” I said coldly. “You think loyalty is just doing your job while helping bury my people?”
Before I could press further, Gai’s phone buzzed.
He stepped outside to take the call, and when he returned, his expression had changed.
“Alpha,” Gai said quickly, “John confessed. He said Olivia was taken to an old mansion-his family’s, down by the cliffs near the sea.”
My heart stilled for a beat. Heath growled louder.
I turned to Ethan. “Take your men. Go there now. Search the house from top to bottom.”
Ethan gave a sharp nod and bolted out the door.
“Gai,” I said, “expand the search to five kilometers around the mansion. I want aerial scans, sea patrols, everything. She` might’ve been-” I couldn’t finish the sentence.
Thrown overboard.
Jimson had the gall to furrow his brows in concern. “I hope she’s all right… that poor girl.”
I watched him carefully and decided to test him.
“She is,” I said flatly. “She was found an hour ago.”
A single blink. No twitch. No shift in weight. Just that same damned smug confidence.
Jimson remained eerily calm.
Too calm.
And that told me everything I needed to know.
Then, suddenly, Jess exploded.
“Why are you acting like Olivia’s disappearance is the end of the world? Are you that scared? Or is it that you care too much?”
Her voice was high-pitched and hysterical, a mix of rage and confusion.
I didn’t raise my voice. “Do you even know what she was doing here? What she found?”
Jess scoffed. “She’s a secretary. She’s been here forthree days.
Why would anything she says matter?”
I walked forward slowly, each word clipped and deliberate. “That secretary uncovered something you’ve failed to detect in two years. She was doingmyjob. She disappeared onmywatch.”
Jess clenched her fists, her face crumpling with disbelief.
“You’re insane. You’re-what, in love with that married woman now?”
I looked at her, this woman I once thought might be useful. Now
I only felt disappointment. “If you’d focused less on appearances and more on substance, maybe your brain wouldn’t be so dull.”
Her lips quivered. “I’m resigning.” Then, louder, “I’ve already called Neil. I’m going to let him know how you’re humiliating your own people over some outsider.””
I sighed and rubbed my forehead. Of course she called my father. She always cried to him when she couldn’t win on her own. “Let me guess. You told him I’m biased. That I’ve lost my mind over Olivia.”
She nodded defiantly. “Yes. Because that’s exactly what this is.
Favoritism. Obsession.”
Behind her, Jimson chimed in. “I’m resigning too. I’ve given this company everything. If loyalty means nothing anymore, then
I’m done.”
A few other executives glanced at each other, looking uncertain
-some ready to follow Jimson’s lead just to survive the fallout.
Right then, my phone vibrated. A message from Gai. My father had just called him to ask for my response.
I took a slow breath, then turned on the speaker. “Father,” I said calmly, “the purpose of this inspection has been achieved. I’ve seen what I came here to see. The ones who needed to expose themselves have done so. I have nothing more to add.”
Jess looked stunned.
Still, she wasn’t done. “You don’t deny it, do you? That you’re obsessed with her? A married woman, no less. What are you going to do-fight Ethan for her?”
