My Cursed Mate

After Mathis left, Vega and his team could now finally focus on the matter at hand. All articles and all videos were taken down just before lunch but they were still busy in taking care of the aftermath. They were receiving so many calls that the number of telephones and cellphones inside the company were not enough.

Vega and Evos were not exempted. Vega had been receiving calls from the shareholders of the company and he had been reassuring them that he was doing his best to resolve the issue. Evos on the other hand was dealing with their suppliers who became skeptical at the credibility of the company.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

At first, the written articles do not have much impact on the opinion of the people but because of the video of a murder taking place in one of Empire’s hotels, matters got worse. It got even messier because the victim was Sophia Reiner who was reported to have died in an accident. People were now speculating that Empire covered up the incident to protect their image.

With no rest at all, Vega had been in a meeting with the PR Department to decide on the best course of action to turn the tables around. They’ve decided to conduct a press conference to address the issue and present evidences that would prove their innocence and that they were not involved in any act of killing.

“Where can we find the evidence? People in this era are keen on to see is to believe. They even believed that ridiculous video even it was obvious that it was only fabricated.” One of them exclaimed in exasperation.

“I’ll take care of the evidence,” Vega answered. Luckily, they have prepared evidence before hand just in case doubts arise regarding Sophia’s death. They could finally use it to dispel the rumors. “Please work on the press conference as soon as possible.”

With that, the meeting went for an hour more before Vega dismissed them. He rubbed his head and leaned back on his swivel chair with his eyes closed. He was too lazy to get out his phone and make a call so he used the mind-link to contact his brother.

**”So, how was it?” Megrez asked first after he answered the probing in his mind.

**”Messy,” Vega chuckled. “I’ll need that evidence for the press conference.”

**”Aren’t you worried that they may find out that the evidences are all fake?” Megrez stood up from his seat and relocated to his office’s balcony.

**”People believed that video, I’m sure that with a little bit of persuasion, they will believe the evidence we have,” Vega answered with straight face.

**Megrez shook his head, “Alright then, it’s your call.”

He left the conference room and returned to his office when he received a call from the company’s reception telling him that Kazandra was there. They were calling because the woman doesn’t have an appointment and the company was in a mess. Vega notified them to let her pass.

Kazandra woke up that day to find that Vega left for the company early. It was also impossible for her not to know what happened because she received a call from one of her secretaries in Zaithan. Because of the problem that Empire was facing, they wanted to know how they should proceed with the collaborative project between the two companies.

Before she could answer, she called for Ravina and told her to look for any recent news regarding Empire. There they discovered the articles and the video. After thinking for a while, she instructed her secretary to temporarily postpone the work for the project. She also informed her to be on stand-by as she needed to talk to Vega first.

After settling the matter with her secretary, she planned on leaving and visiting Vega but was stopped by Ascella. “You don’t have to rush. Let my brother handle if first. Let’s have some breakfast first.”

Kazandra wanted to decline but the woman was adamant on making them stay. Reluctantly, she agreed and joined them for breakfast. The family calmly enjoyed their breakfast like nothing happened. Megrez and Ascella were casually talking about things regarding the pack while Ingrid was casually pitching in. This mode calmed Kazandra and she was able to enjoy her breakfast with them.

After their breakfast, Megrez walked to Kazandra and patted her on the back. “Vega is capable. When he decided to build Empire, the elders were against it but he still did it anyway. Along the way, he encountered obstacles and there were times that the business almost closed down but he still managed to save it and look at where it is now.”

“I understand. It was just a momentary lapse,” she smiled.

Megrez grinned. “You love him. It’s understandable for you to worry but you should also remember that he is a capable man.”

At the word love, Kazandra froze for a moment. That word never crossed her mind because she was too fixated on the fact that Vega was her mate. Perhaps because being mates already reassured her that the man was hers so she forgot the fact about how he felt about her.

Turmoil started to build up inside her. Now that she was thinking about it, being mates doesn’t guarantee that he loves her. She knew for a fact that she felt that way towards him but it doesn’t mean that he too felt the same. The tenderness and care he showed her might have been all a product of the mate bond. These thoughts made her uncertainties magnified.

With these complicated thoughts in her mind, she left the pack to visit Vega. She entered the man’s company only to find it submerged in a bleak atmosphere. Normally the lobby was packed with people but it was totally empty. Even the smile from the staff in the reception area was forced. She waited for a minute before she was allowed to go up after they confirmed it with Vega.

Evos welcomed her and led her to his friend’s office where Vega was waiting. A smile appeared on the man’s face at the sight of the woman and when the door closed, he engulfed her with a hug. The woman did not resist and returned the hug.

“I’m sorry for leaving without telling you.” He immediately apologized as he buried his face on the junction of her neck and shoulder. He wanted to smell her scent but because of their situation, he was content with her presence.

“It’s alright.” She rubbed his back as they stood there in each other’s arms. “I’m here to support you.”
