The Silver Crescent Alpha Prince

"Don't you have any shame?" Anne said. 

Dawn let out a hearty mocking laughter. "Shame? That word exist in your dictionary? I thought you threw it out of the window the moment you tried to kill me and Cole and take over the Wyatt business." 

"Bitch!" Helena spat. "Just because you have Daryn Silver backing you up, you feel so powerful? We would have taken you down any minute if you didn't have Daryn's support. Trust me we would have crushed you like a bug. Even a dog thinks that it is a lion with someone as powerful as the Silvers support them." 

Dawn crossed her hands across her chest. She tilted her head. "Tch, tch. I do have to give you some face for calling me a dog. You came into our lives, you wrecked my parents home, then you tried to kill us and all just so that you can get hold of the money, of the business, of the property that belongs Cole and me and yet you have the guts to even speak to me." Dawn clapped. "If you think that I have Daryn's support, then deal with it. He is my husband and he has all the right to back me up. So eff off!" Dawn started to leave as the driver opened the door of the car for her. 

"Do you know who killed your father?" Helena called from behind. 

Dawn stopped and glanced over her shoulders. Her mind became numb. She had been asking that question for a long time. They hadn't been able to find the murderers, who had obviously covered their track well. It had been a long five and a half years and there was no clue. "Who?" she asked, holding her breath.

Helena snickered. "Go ask your father-in-law." And then she started laughing viciously. "Go ask him what happened that day. He is a politician. I am sure he knows it all." 

Anne joined Helena in her laughter. "Poor Dawn," she said, mocking her. 

Dawn's mind stuttered. Why would she ask Gayle? It didn't make sense. Blood drained from her face and it became white as chalk. If Gayle knew everything, how come he never told her anything about it? Was he hiding something from her? Her lips were pursed in a thin line and she clenched her jaw tightly. Helena had succeeded in making her miserable again. She didn't turn to look at them and sat in the car. The driver closed the door. She had to go back to her office but she decided to go to Daryn. 

"Take me to the Silver House," she instructed the driver, although she really wanted to go and talk to Gayle. 

When she reached the office, she found that Daryn wasn't there. She walked to the couch, threw her purse aside and kicked off her sandals and lay down. She closed her eyes. The two ladies had been so demeaning that she wanted to punch them in the face but she refrained herself. She just wanted to get away from all antagonism. She knew that things are going to be difficult but she was ready for that. 

Dawn woke up with a start when someone brushed her cheeks. She turned around and found Daryn kneeled beside her. 

"Why are you crying baby?" he asked with pain in his eyes. He wiped away her tears, which she didn't know were falling down her eyes. 

Leaning her face against his hand she smiled and sniffled. Was this the right time to ask about his father? 

"Have I done something wrong?" he asked looking in her green eyes. "If I have then please forgive me darling, but don't cry." 

Dawn shook her head. Her husband was so affectionate when it came to taking care of her. 

"Then don't cry. It's not good for our child." 

"I won't…" she whispered and kissed his palm. 

"Did you have a nightmare?" 

"No…" She wanted to change the subject. "I was wondering if you have time then we can go shopping in the evening." 

"Of course I do!" he replied. He had so many things on his mind. There was a lot to buy for his child. "Why evening? We can go now also." 

Dawn frowned. "Don't you have any other engagements?" 

"No I don't," he said enthusiastically. "In fact I was planning to call you and take you out!" 

"Is it?" Dawn said. She was surprised. She grinned and raked his hair. 

"Yes! What are you waiting for? Let's get going," he said eagerly and got up. 

Dawn also got up and wore her sandals, which were already neatly lying near the couch. Her mood improved seeing his lovely demeanor. "Next time you should tell me about your meeting schedules so that I may plan things accordingly." 

"Sure!" he said and held her hand. 

As soon as they opened the door, his secretary Reyna said, "Sir, you have two back to back meetings. In one of them your elder brother Caleb will be chairing. And just to remind you, he is staking claim of the business of blue sapphire mines in Kashmir and chrome and vanadium mines in South Africa." 

Dawn's eyes wide were wide. She looked at him. He said he didn't have work! 

"Cancel those meetings and postpone them for tomorrow. Also cancel any other meeting that is scheduled for today," he replied and pulled Dawn to the elevator. 

Reyna stared at the backs of her employers. Those were such important meetings and she knew Caleb would be so furious. She gulped. She had a lot to do and then also had to hear a lot. 

As soon as the elevator's door closed, Daryn pulled his mate in his embrace and kissed her passionately. "I love elevators. Why can't we have sex here? I would love to make a baby with you in this elevator." 

"But—" he seized her lips. "Your— meeting—" she tried to complete her sentence by dragging herself away from him, but her lips were again taken and by the time Daryn left her, she needed all the air. Her lips were swollen red and her face was flushed. "Daryn!" she hit his chest lightly. 

In response, he held her hips and picked her up to kiss her again. This time he forced her lips open to delve in her mouth. The elevator door opened with a ping and the couple walked out like that. "I can't get you enough," was all he said. None of them heard the employees giggling at the lovebirds.

In the car too, he made his wife sit on his lap. She told him everything that happened in the court, while he circled her breasts lazily over her shirt. She didn't tell him anything about her encounter with Anne and Helena in the parking lot. In time… He listened to her carefully and then said, "Dawn, why are you going to the court. I suggest that you let me buy the refineries. It will save you so much trouble." 

"No Daryn. I want to expose them, their dirty secrets and their shenanigans. And this is the only way out. If you will buy it off, they would be let off too kindly."

When Caleb heard that Daryn had postponed the meeting because he was going out with his wife, he picked up a chair in the office and slammed it to pieces on the ground. In rage, he drove home and went to his wife. She was reading a magazine, but as soon as she saw him, she trembled. Ten minutes later, she was chained to the bed, spread eagled.
