In Bed with the Alpha Boss: A CEO Werewolf Romance Chapter 4

Chapter 4 – Ch*nk in the Armor
Gabrielle.
Two years later.
You have cancer.
The first time I heard my doctor say this, I didn’t move or say anything for the next five minutes.
My first thought was that I’m too young! I still want to have babies someday. This cannot be happening to me!

It’s still in the early stages, my doctor said. But cancer is cancer and more than fifty percent of the time, it doesn’t end well.
“What are you thinking?” Sebastian asks as he comes out of the shower, looking like a g*d, wrapped in only a piece of towel.
For the past two years, Sebastian has been regularly going to my apartment. Are we dating? No, of course not! Apart from the fact that I’ve been his regular playmate in bed, Sebastian has remained the cold, reserved, uncaring man that he’s always
been.
The sex is amazing. And I’m such a fool because I cannot help but fall in love with him. When he’s inside me, he makes me feel like I mean the world to him. But after the sex, he remains distant and cold. I feel like he exists in another world, and
Chapter 4 – Ch*nk in the Armor
there’s no way he will let me in on his secrets.

Two years and many org**ms later, Sebastian King still remains the biggest mystery that I want to unravel.
I shake my head, knowing he won’t care whatever answer I give him. The only things that Sebastian King wants from me are my skills in work and in bed. I was a fool to dream that I can gain his love with my body.
Sebastian didn’t like using condoms. He made sure I take strong contraceptives to ensure that I do not get pregnant. Blinded by my love for him, I did whatever I could to please him. And now, I cannot help wondering if those contraceptives increased my risk of getting cancer.
I heave a deep sigh. I avoid his eyes as I try to keep my voice steady. “I… I don’t think I can do this anymore.”
“You want to end things with me?”
“Well, you made it clear that we’re not a thing, didn’t you? So, I guess we have nothing to end. You just need to stop coming by my apartment.”
I stare up at him. His face is devoid of any emotion. But then again, being stoic is his way of keeping his distance from everybody. That’s one of his tactics. And maybe that’s why he’s so good at his job. People can’t read him, ergo, they cannot predict his next moves.
He dresses up quickly. When he finishes, he pulls something out
Chapter 4 – Ch*nk in the Armor
from his pocket and places it on the table near the door.

“So be it.” And then he gets out and slams the door behind him.
I walk towards the table and pick up the check that he left for me. One hundred thousand dollars paid to cash. He does this every night he comes to visit… I mean, f*ck me. At first, I slapped him for making me feel like a wh*re. But then he keeps doing it that I simply consider it as part of my salary.
It’s his way of keeping his distance from me. His way of telling me that I cannot hope for anything beyond sex. I was his doll, and he’s taking care of me this way.
I clutch the check to my chest. My heart shatters to the floor as I let go of the tears I’ve been holding back.
Two years and I didn’t even pierce his f**king armor!

The next morning, I arrive in the office wearing a black skirt and a suit that hugs my body to perfection. I keep my makeup light and my hair neatly tied in a bun behind my head. I look nothing like the mess I was last night. One of the downsides of secretly sleeping with your boss is that you still need to keep things professional even though your heart is bleeding inside.
First, I need to make sure that everything is going according to schedule. Then, as usual, I need to make Sebastian’s coffee. He likes his coffee brewed a certain way, and I am the only one who
knows how to do it.
Chapter 4 – Ch*nk in the Armor
I knock on his door, a tablet and cup of coffee in hand.

“Come in!” I hear his deep voice say from the other side of the door.
I walk in and place the coffee on his desk. Then I gather my tablet and read his schedule for him.
“You have a meeting with Mr. Reyes from Exon Enterprises at 10. Then you have lunch with the CEO of DED Corp. And the chairman of Parks Group is requesting to see you at 4PM. At 6PM, you have dinner with Parks Group chairman in your mansion.”
Recently, Sebastian has been having business meetings with Parks Group. I have no idea what the meetings are about. He doesn’t take me with him whenever he meets with these people.
He looks at the report on his table as he listens to me run through his schedule. Things can be rough and wild between us in bed, but in the office, Sebastian will always be the same reserved and cold businessman who is hard to read, and even harder to outsmart.
“Anything else?” he asks without looking up.
I clear my throat nervously. Then I place an envelope on top of his table.
“I also want to give you this, Mr. King.”

5/6
It’s my resignation letter. Before I give it to HR, I feel that Sebastian should know about it first. Not because I wanted him to stop me, but because he means a lot to me as a boss, too.
He doesn’t say anything as he reads my letter. Then he puts it on top of his desk and says, “Not until I find a suitable replacement for you.”
“Of course. I will also assist in the headhunting for my replacement.” I keep my voice very businesslike.
He finally looks at me, an eyebrow raised. “You found a better job?”
No.
But I purse my lips, saying nothing.
Sebastian nods. I knew he takes that as a yes.
“Will they pay you better than I do?”
Including the checks that you pay me after f**king me? Of
course not!
If he thinks that this is only about the money, then he’s dead wrong. I raise my chin. “Well, at least my new boss would never ask me to bend over.”
His face suddenly darkens and I realize it’s the first time I am seeing him lose his cool.
Chapter 4 – Chi*k in the Armor “Get out!” he growls.
Still, I show him that I am no longer affected by anything he does or says.
“Certainly, Mr. King,” I reply in my most professional tone.
6/6
With shaking legs, I walk towards the door and exit the room. As soon as I close the door behind me, I hear something shatter from the other side of the door.
Da*n! Did I just hit the ch*nk in Sebastian’s armor?
want to celebrate this little victory to myself, but as I take a step forward, I find myself face to face with a very familiar older
Woman.
She is wearing a light blue designer suit that matches the Birkin bag in her hand. She has a cold and dark expression on her face as she stares down at me.
It’s Samantha King, Sebastian’s mother.
And she looks furious at me.
“Miss Jones, can I have a word with you in private?”
