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

<p>I can't seem to doze off. Lightning is curled up at the foot of my bed, fast asleep. My brain is working overtime, trying to figure out why my father would lie to me for so long. I didn't say a single word to him, after Nora left.</p>

<p> My body is exhausted, but my overwhelming thoughts keep me awake. Eventually, I get out of bed. I can't be bothered to toss and turn, so I leave Lightning to it. Maybe, I can get some fresh air. Watch the sunrise, or something. I end up sitting inside the watch-hut, looking out at the familiar purple lights. Instantly, I feel a little calmer. I wonder what he's doing. Is he like me; struggling to curb the restlessness? Maybe he can't sleep, either. The sun starts to rise, creeping over the horizon and bathing the lands in a warm glow. My eyes feel swollen. I can't stop the tears. I don't know what to believe anymore. I don't know who to trust. "Aly! Where are you? Aly!" A desperate voice echoes behind me.</p>
