Goodbye My Alpha (Taya and Griffon)

I woke up to unfamiliar surroundings.

After blinking a few times and remembering what happened last night, I realized I had fallen asleep in Jackson's presidential suite. Luckily, Jackson seemed to be gone. The only other place he could be in here was the bathroom, but the door was open and no light was on in there.

I touched my chest, pressing lightly between my breasts and letting out a sigh of relief. There were no signs of being kicked.

It had been so long ago, but I'd feared Jackson would kick me. It had been horrible when he did it before, and the trauma from it came rushing back last night.

But it was no wonder that I was afraid. After he'd kicked me in the chest years ago, Jackson left me on the side of the road to die.

And I would have died if someone driving by hadn't seen me and saved me in time.

I'd never understood why Silas, who had always been nice to me, always been my protector, would be so cruel, would leave me there to die.

It'd been a long time, and I'd let go of it and moved on, but I could never forget it. I'd just...pushed it aside so I could survive, try to live while I could. It would never NOT be there, and sometimes it weighed on

me.

Now that I'd seen Jackson again, it was fresh.

I shook my head and forced Jackson out of my mind. I sat up in the bed and picked up my phone.

Oh, no. I'd slept until 5:00 p.m.! My phone screen showed countless missed calls, but I'd been so exhausted and slept so hard that I hadn't heard a single one.

I unlocked the phone to see who had called, and my eyes grew as big as saucers.

There were hundreds of missed calls from Greyson.

Not only had he called over and over, he'd also sent countless WhatsApp messages.

I wasn't going to call him back. Instead, I opened WhatsApp to read his messages.

At first, he'd said, "Send me your location."

Then, "Are you with another man?"

Then, "If you fuck another man, I'll kill you."

Dear goddess, he was crazy. No way in hell was I answering him back.

I exited out of Greyson's messages, then saw that Lila had also messaged asking me to come into the office and hand over my work.

Quickly, I got up, freshened up, grabbed my bag, and left the presidential suite.

As soon as I got to the elevator, Jackson came out.
