Everything started five years ago. 

Elise Collins was framed, left everything behind, and ran away, never wanting to even take a glance at it again. However, news of her being pregnant spreads like a wildfire in the city, and her thought that someone will be able to help her, crumbles as everyone avoids her like she’s a curse.

In a snap, she had no place to return to. 

Defeated, she aspires to become stronger, and that happened when she came back five years later, already a top hacker.

As soon as Axel Carter knows it, the father of the child she gave birth to, he instantly chases her. Trapped in the hospital, he confronts her.

With those scarlet raging eyes, his teeth gnash. "Do you know the price of playing with me, woman?"

Mrs Alpha

^ I always imagine Aly training to this. Arctic Monkeys, holla'.

Dante Pelosi. Dante freakin' Pelosi.

Dante Pelosi was the mystery donor. He was the one who paid the full fee for my fighter training. "Why the hell did you accept the money?" I exhale in frustration, wanting to punch Reese in the face. "Now I'm in his debt!"

"Because you needed the money, sis." Ryan interjects, leading Reese and I to the training field. "Times are tough and even if we pool all our savings together, it won't be enough to cover your training."

"Kurt accepted my monthly instalment idea. Martha was going to offer me more shifts-- all of this wasn't necessary." I grumble. "Does Dad know about Dante's donation?"

"God, no." Reese scoffs. "Dad pretty much has a warrant for his head. We told him the money came from us. He thinks Ryan and I have all this extra money, for some reason."
