Chapter 188: I Promise You

(Author’s POV)

"How is your cousin now, Yelena?" William inquired.

"What cousin, Uncle William?" Yelena’s face scrunched as she was left perplexed by his question. She didn’t remember but Myra did. Myra looked at Yelena with gritted teeth, signaling her but Yelena wasn’t even looking her way.

"The one who was with you when we met a few days back," William asked.

Yelena realized and exclaimed, "Ohhhhhhh~ .... That one. She is fine. She is doing well now. Thank, for asking, Uncle. So, how’s your work going?" She swiftly changed the topic.

"It is going fine, for now," he left it at that. Sandra sighed at his words as the girls could sense a slight dejection in his voice.

William was an accountant in some local bank. As he was not very accustomed to using computers and technological stuff, he had been having a difficult time. He was good at doing work manually and trying to learn but it wasn’t easy for him. The higher ups have been pressuring him to voluntarily retire as he was getting old and wasn’t efficient as before. But no one knew about this apart from Sandra.

Sandra patted his back softly in comfort, as she looked Myra’s way and said, "Myra, Yelena, tell us what you both want to eat. I will make you that."

"Ahhh~ ... Aunt Sandra, I have an appointment. Maybe, next time," Yelena replied with a smile as she got up.

"Why are you going so soon? You should have lunch with us dear," Sandra offered. She loved cooking for others. But Yelena planned to go to the Yates Manor. Her grandfather has been urging her to meet her grandmother. So, she decided to get over with it.

"I am visiting grandma today. Can’t be late," Yelena said with a faint smile.

Sandra didn’t push her after knowing her plans, "Then, do visit us soon. The next time you will come, I will make you a feast."

Yelena clapped her hands in excitement, "Ohh I can’t wait for. Now, that your daughter has safely returned, I will be taking my leave."

"Give your grandmother our regards," Sandra said. Yelena responded with a, "I will. Bye. Take care all of you. Myra, I will call you." She walked out with a bright smile and confident steps. But as soon as she settled inside her car and took the wheel in her hands, that smile faded. She looked at the bakery bag, which was kept in the back and sighed loudly, "Another battle is waiting for me."

She ignited the engine and rushed off, in the distance, with a heavy heart.

"Mom, sis brought your favorite walnut tea cake," Wendy was loud like always. "And she and Yelena sis brought me pastries too."

"Good, but don’t eat too much of sweets," Sandra teased her. She then turned her attention back to Myra and said, "So, how is Nora?"

"Nora is good. She is happy there. They all treat her like a gem," Myra replied.

"That is good. After all that, she has finally found her family. But why has she not called us even once? Neither have we heard from James and Clara," Sandra questioned. Ever since Nora moved to Kimberg, she hasn’t talked to Sandra or William.

Myra pressed her lips and uttered, "Her family is quite influential in Kimberg, so she has been busy with her studies and other social stuff."

"Sis, has Nora have siblings?" Wendy inquired casually.

"Yes, she does," Myra replied softly as she remembered all the Everests brothers.

"How many? Does she have any brother?" Wendy blabbered imagining Nora’s brother.

Myra licked her lips and answered, "She do have brothers."

"Brothers? How many? They must be handsome as, Nora herself is a beauty," Wendy chimed excitedly.

"She has four brothers. They all look fine," Myra’s words sounded casual but she knew they were far from being just fine. They were bestowed with godly facial features.

"Do you have any photo of them, hmm? I want to see," Wendy urged Myra.

"I would have but my phone broke. So, I don’t have any," Myra showed them the backup phone.

William got up from his place and muttered, "Ohhh good thing you said that. I recalled something. I will be right back." He went inside his room.

Wendy still was persistent and fired another question, "Do they not have any social media account like Insta or Snap?"

"Wendy, why are you asking so many questions. Myra just arrived after a long flight, let her rest," Sandra scolded Wendy.

William came back with a box in his hand as he handed it too Myra, "This is for you."

The box was wrapped beautifully. Myra already knew what was in it. She looked at William, the excitement and anticipation on his face was quite obvious. She tried to play along, "Dad, you got me a gift? What’s in it, hmm?"

"Open it and tell me whether you like it or not," William said as there was a glint in his eyes.

Myra unwrapped the box. As soon as Wendy saw what it was, she yelled, her voice loud and shrill, "Ohh my god, Dad. It is the latest phone everyone has been talking about. Woah!"

Myra was silent for a while as she looked at the box in her hand. It was expensive, she could tell. She bit her lips to control emotions.

William was waiting for her to say something. He asked, "Did you not like it? Is it bad?"

Tears formed in her eyes as she embraced her dad, her voice choked. She was overwhelmed with emotions.

William patted her back gently. He got concerned by her reaction and asked, "Are you alright? Why are you crying?"

As soon as those words left William’s mouth, Myra started bawling her heart out. She knew all about her family’s financial condition. Despite that, William bought her that phone. After that brief emotional episode, she calmed down and pulled away.

"If you don’t like that one. I will get you another one," William said, his voice filled with concern.

"No, it is fine. I love it. Thank you so much dad," Myra mumbled while sniffling. William ruffled her head like a child, "Anything for my princesses," he said with a smile.

Myra looked at him closely. His face was much haggard from the last time she saw him. His hair were turning grey. Fine lines and wrinkles were forming on his face. He looked exhausted and aged.

"I will do better dad, mom. You know I love you. I will do my best for you both. You guys are my world. I won’t let any harm come your way," Myra whispered under her breath.

"You must be hungry. It’s already lunch time. Let me make something delicious for you," William exclaimed and walked towards the kitchen. Sandra followed him, "I will help your dad. Wendy, help with your sister’s luggage."

"Aye~ Aye Captain," Wendy saluted as she took Myra’s bags and took them to her room.

Myra looked at everyone’s receding figure and vowed, "I will not let anyone destroy our peace, our happiness. I promise you, dad, mom, Wendy."

At the Everests mansion, Dr. Andrew has been busy running tests on Brave while Noah and Sara had filed an official complaint against the two elders, Maximus Corbin and Clement Sanders.

An all-packs meeting was called for that purpose. The date was set for next month.

As the Lycan king and Luna, Noah and Sara has been busy visit other packs and convincing them join their side. These packs have been treated poorly by those elders because of various reason. So, they wanted to make a strong case.

Matthew, the pack’s beta was gathering evidence of their maltreatment and vicious behavior. Which meant, Alaric as the future heir was busy with all the company matters. He was swamped up with work. Dion was helping him as well, pulling overtime. Janet was assisting them.

The task of collecting Clinton family’s DNA samples have yet not been fulfilled. Myra has been haunting him in his dreams. Brave has not woken up yet despite their best efforts. All this was giving Alaric a headache. He was getting moody and his temper was getting worse.

The employees were treading on thin ice when he was near. Nobody knew when his temper would flare and he would burst out.

"Amanda, come in with the report of that redevelopment plan for Damona," Alaric ordered his secretary in a gravelly voice.

Within few minutes, a knock was heard on the floor as Amanda walked in. She placed the files in front of her and briefed him, "These are the plans both the planning teams have submitted."

Alaric glanced at the documents, picked one up and flipped the pages. With one glance, he slammed the file on his table, a loud bang sound crackled making Amanda flinch, "Useless."

He picked another one and then another, shoving every single one aside, "What is this thrash? Ask them to redo all of it." He pinched his nose bridge in irritation and closed his eyes.

Ever since Myra’s departure, he has been feeling annoyed all the time and have been dreaming about her. Not just dreams, whenever he closed his eyes, he saw her image, her face was filled with rage as she would spat, "I HATE YOU."
