Mated to werewolf

Life is fun, but it carries together the bad and good happenings, people love the good ones, which is to love and be loved, success in career, but they hate it when bad things happen to them, but something can we avoid it, it is fate, it is something that has been destined to happen to us, it now depend on how we can handle it.

This world is full of betrayal, depression, sadness, every human being has the devil they hid in them, thee good ones are few, Sofia said, she was on the rooftop of Montenegro agency rooftop where she works as a secretary to the agency, crying as she was thinking about what had happen to her.

She couldn't stop thinking about Richard, the man she loves, it was on Christmas Eve, late at night around 7pm, and she climbed the railings of the rooftop, attempting to commit suicide, as she jumped down from the highrise building and landed on a car, gasping for breath, but before they could rescue her, she gave up the ghost.

Three years later, Richard woke up from a nightmare of what happened three years ago, he was sweating and panting, the mystery around Sofia's death has still remained a mystery.

Richard, an extremely introverted person, people mistake him for being menacing and scary, especially those at his office. His father started a marketing and public relation officer called Montenegro, it was given over to him to Richard, as his dad ventured into politics.

He's very intelligent, and very good at business and marketing, he was more like a genius, but even though he was a CEO, he has problem with confronting and communicating with others, none of his employee has seen his face, he wears black and his is always on face cap, so as to avoid getting in contact with anybody, he is only active at night or early in the morning, that was how serious his shyness is.

He is a methodical guy, he does not allows visitors into his room, he stays in his apartment all alone doing what he love most, which is crafting, loves wood crafting, that keeps him busy all the time, he doesn't speak much, even if he does it Is not always audible, but apart from him being shy, he is fun to be with, he loves playing squash alone, dancing, cooking, and he wishes to be a responsible son even though he is not chanced to.

Richard's father, aware of his son's dilemma, is not happy about it. Richard has a sister named Eve, she is a very troublesome lady, that lacks manners, and very proud. She is engaged to Marco, his brother's friend.

Their father, Patrick has been so harsh towards Richard, he even beats him up sometimes, all he cares about is his name, fame, wealth and his political career, he doesn't regard Richard as his son.

On the other side Marco, more than just Richard's best friend. He lived in the street for 10 years, until Richard's father picked him up and brought him home to live with the family. They are like brothers and they have always looked out for each other, Marco the charismatic co- CEO, and also the face of Montenegro. He deals with the employees, clients, and the public, but the brain box behind the scene is Richard.

Marco loved being the face of the company and also his position as a CEO. More so he is loved by the employees and enjoys being the leader in the spotlight. He is also engaged with Richard's sister, but not really into her. The family world is a tangled one.

Richard feeling guilty about what happened to Sofia three years ago, was looking for a way to make it up to her, he finds out that she has a sister Isabella , Isabella is an undercover junior assistant reporter, but also works part time as a bar attendant. Richard helps her in a shadow as a payment for his attitude towards their family, he makes sure she does not get into trouble. Isabella knows someone helps her, but hasn't she hasn't seen him physically.

She wanted to leave her job as a bar attendant and work as a secretary, in a Montenegro company, but she has an ulterior motive, she believes the death of her sister isn't ordinary, and it has to do with the Montenegro company, and their CEO, Mr Richard Montenegro.

Isabella Damian tossed and turned in her bed, ensnared by a haunting nightmare. In the depths of her slumber, she saw her elder sister, Sofia, with ghostly eyes and a desperate plea. "Save me, Bella. Save me," Sofia's voice echoed in the darkness. A cold sweat dampened Bella's forehead as she woke up, her heart racing with the lingering echoes of her sister's distress.

Dragging herself out of bed, Bella prepared for another day juggling her responsibilities. As an intern reporter, she had a burning desire to uncover the truth behind Sofia's mysterious death, a puzzle that continued to elude her. However, her days were also consumed by the grind of working at a local coffee shop to make ends meet.

With her unruly chestnut hair hastily tied in a ponytail, Bella rushed out the door, locking her small, low-budget car behind her. The engine groaned to life, and she navigated the urban streets toward her workplace. The city buzzed with life, but Bella felt a constant undercurrent of supernatural mysteries hidden beneath the surface.

As she waited at a traffic signal, lost in her thoughts, fate intervened. A sudden impact from behind rocked her car, startling her. Bella's eyes widened as she surveyed the damage through her rear viewmirror. An expensive black car loomed behind her, and anger bubbled within her.

The car's door creaked open, revealing a tall, handsome man – Richard Montenegro, the introverted CEO of Montenegro Marketing. Bella's frustration reached its peak as she demanded an apology. Richard, overwhelmed by social anxiety, began to tremble. Uncomfortable and unable to face the confrontation, he thrust a check out of the car window, hoping it would placate her.

Infuriated by the dismissive gesture, Bella continued her tirade, bashing on his car and demanding an apology. The introverted CEO, desperate to escape the interaction, retreated into the safety of his car. The windows rolled up, the engine roared, and Richard sped away, leaving Bella fuming in the middle of the road.

But Bella, driven by both anger and determination, wasn't one to back down. She chased after him through the bustling streets until they reached Montenegro Marketing. Determined to hold him accountable, she confronted the security guards and learned the shocking truth – the man who had collided with her was none other than the elusive CEO.

As Bella contemplated her next move, she felt an undeniable connection to Richard, an inexplicable force drawing her into a world of secrets, danger, and forbidden love.

Bella wanted to go and confront Richard inside in the office, but not possible, there are securities around and she didn't even know they way to his office, she saw that the company are in need of office workers and the interview is today, she quickly used the chance to enter as someone coming for interview.

Bella, fueled by determination, seized the opportunity presented by the job interviews. The bustling lobby of Montenegro Marketing welcomed a diverse crowd, all vying for positions within the company. Bella discreetly slipped into the stream of hopeful candidates, her eyes scanning the surroundings for any sign of Richard.

As she neared the receptionist, she overheard whispers about the mysterious CEO, reinforcing the notion that he was an enigma within his own company. Bella fabricated a resume on the spot, claiming expertise in journalism and administration, a skill set that conveniently aligned with the available positions.

The interview room was a nerve-wracking space, filled with the anxious energy of candidates hoping to make a favorable impression. Bella, armed with determination and a fabricated resume, faced the panel, which included Marco Sorrento, Richard's Friend and managing director.

Meanwhile, in the secluded confines of his office, Richard reclined on his plush couch, worn by the weight of his dual life. The arrival of a new secretary marked the third replacement since Sofia's tragic death. The secretary, unfamiliar with Richard's face, kept her gaze lowered, adding to the air of mystery surrounding the CEO.

She has never seen the CEO face, only Marco Richard's friend has seen his face in the company, not because of anything, but because he doesn't know how to interact with people, his employees thought he is a scary being, a monster.

Opening the door to his private office, Richard sought solace on the long couch. The burdens of leading a company and concealing his supernatural secret took a toll on him. Little did he know that the arrival of a determined intern, cloaked in the guise of an interviewee, would soon disrupt the delicate balance of his secluded world.

As Bella faced the panel, Marco Sorrento's keen eyes studied her. Unbeknownst to her, Marco sensed an unconventional determination within this seemingly ordinary candidate, setting the stage for an unforeseen twist in the tale of Montenegro Marketing.

After the nerve-wracking interview, Bella left the company with a mix of anticipation and anxiety. The city's evening glow began to fade as she headed home, a place that no longer held the warmth it once did. Since Sofia's tragic death, the atmosphere at home had changed, casting a shadow over Bella's sense of belonging.

Her parents, once affectionate, now seemed to favor the memory of her accomplished sister. Bella, with her struggles and imperfections, felt like an unwanted echo of what once was. It stung, knowing her parents would prefer her to die than her sister. Her sister was the love of their eyes, she finished university with a good grade and got a job at a famous company, unlike her, who barely passed her final exams, and work as intern and a bar attendant.

The prospect of returning to a less-than-welcoming home led Bella to detour to the coffee shop where she worked. The familiar aroma of brewing coffee offered a comforting embrace. It was a place where the routine of making drinks and serving customers provided a temporary escape from the complexities of her personal life.

As she donned her apron and started her shift, the rhythmic sounds of espresso machines and friendly chatter became a welcome distraction. Little did Bella know that the events of the day, from the encounter with Richard to the impromptu job interview, were mere prologue to a journey that would intertwine her fate with the elusive CEO and the supernatural mysteries that surrounded him.

After the interview, Marco swung by Richard's office for a chat. They exchanged pleasantries, with Richard asking about the office and how the interviews went. Marco, always the optimist, gave a thumbs-up response.

Curious, Marco asked Richard when he'd muster the courage to talk to his employees. Richard, being his usual reserved self, didn't give a direct answer. Marco, undeterred, smoothly shifted the conversation, revealing a surprise from the day.

"You know who I saw at the interview today?" Marco asked, his eyes gleaming with intrigue.

Richard, feigning nonchalance, inquired, "Who?"

"It was Isabella, Sofia's sister," Marco replied swiftly, watching Richard closely for any reaction.

Richard's poker face held, but the mention of Sofia's sister stirred emotions beneath the surface.

"So, what went down?" Richard asked, maintaining his composure.

"I've got a feeling she's not just here for a job interview," Marco suggested, leaning in. "Think we should hire her?"

Richard, after a thoughtful pause, simply said, "Yes."

As they delved into a discussion about Isabella, Marco probed Richard's thoughts on the matter. The conversation flowed, touching on the intricacies of hiring Sofia's sister and the potential impact on the dynamics within the company.

After the lively discussion, Marco bid Richard farewell and left the CEO's office. Little did they know, the decision to employ Isabella would set in motion a chain of events that would alter the course of Montenegro Marketing and the supernatural world hidden within its corporate walls.

As the workday concluded, Richard packed up, leaving Montenegro Marketing's buzzing office now hushed in the city's evening glow. The introverted CEO traded the corporate world for his family's embrace at home, dwelling with his dad, stepmom, and lively step-sister.

On the familiar journey, thoughts of Isabella, the unexpected interviewee, lingered in Richard's mind. Her presence hinted at a concealed motive, a mystery poised to unfold within the Montenegro Marketing walls.

City lights softly illuminated Richard's contemplation on the implications of Isabella's arrival. Sofia's death had cast shadows over the Montenegro family, and Richard had discreetly supported Isabella and her grieving parents in the aftermath.

Returning home, the atmosphere blended familiarity with unspoken pain from a shared loss. Richard's step-sister, a burst of energy, briefly pierced the somber air with her enthusiastic greeting.

Within their shared home, Richard grappled with hidden truths and the silent bond he shared with Isabella. As the night unfolded, the past's shadows intertwined with the present, creating a narrative where supernatural and mundane boundaries blurred, and concealed motives awaited revelation in Montenegro Marketing's corridors.

Richard's homecomings were a delicate balance of greetings and unspoken tensions. His father, a man of high expectations, harbored frustration with Richard's introverted nature. As the heir and CEO of Montenegro Marketing, Richard's social reserve became a constant source of disappointment for his father.

Entering the familiar home, Richard faced his father's stern gaze, a silent disapproval etched in every line. The daily ritual of chastisement began, questioning Richard's seclusion in his office and his apparent obliviousness to the social intricacies crucial for successful leadership.

"Why can't you be more like Marco?" echoed his father's lament, a reminder of the friend embodying the qualities Richard lacked. The unspoken wish for a different heir, one adept at navigating corporate social dynamics, lingered in the air.

True to his reserved nature, Richard remained silent. His lowered head spoke volumes in the face of his father's dissatisfaction. Post-chastisement, he sought refuge in the solitude of his room, escaping the seemingly insurmountable expectations.

His stepmother, an antagonist in his story, often added her voice to the disapproval, questioning Richard's right to hold the CEO title. Familial dynamics, woven with unspoken expectations and disappointment, cast a shadow over the Montenegro household.

Amid familial complexities, Richard found solace in his extroverted step-sister and the understanding camaraderie of Marco. They were the ones he opened up to, the ones who saw beyond the silent heir into the depths of an introverted soul harboring both secrets and untold strenght.

Richard sought refuge in his room, wearied by the trials of his dual life. As he lay on his bed, a surge of thoughts overwhelmed him, delving into the intricate web of his existence. In the silence, he pondered a silent battle within, questioning the essence of his being and yearning to break free from the walls that confined him.

With the moon casting its glow, Richard's mind shifted to the imminent full moon and the impending agony of his transformation. A sigh escaped him as he wished to navigate the shift without harm, longing for the simplicity of a normal life.

In the solitude of his contemplation, the idea of a mate emerged as a potential solace, a connection to alleviate his supernatural burden. Yet, the mystery of such a companion left him longing for an elusive connection. "My story is delicate," he mused, grappling with the complexities of his identity and the blurred lines between humanity and the supernatural.

At 22, Richard reflected on a decade marked by challenges, his mother's werewolf legacy adding layers of complications. "She just gave me a complicated life," he sighed, memories of nightly transformations intertwining with the haunting echoes of bullying from his college days.

Richard's status as an introvert and a genius added further complexity to his struggles, the harsh symphony of bullying echoing through his college memories. Nightly transformations into a werewolf and the constant influence of the moon were unrelenting reminders of his supernatural affliction.

His confidants were few - an extroverted sister, loyal friend Marco, and the lingering presence of Sofia, whose death cast a shadow over his life. The internet portrayed him as a wicked boss, perpetuating tales of mistreatment and a revolving door of secretaries.

"I am a mess," he conceded, abruptly ending his deep reflections. "Enough of my deep thinking. This can't solve anything." With a heavy sigh, he surrendered to the embrace of sleep, hoping that tomorrow's presentation would offer a brief respite from the complexities that defined his existence.

On the other side, Bella facing Her own cruel world, After finishing her evening shift at the coffee restaurant, Bella found herself meeting with an old friend, Michael, a seasoned investigator and lawyer. The cozy ambiance of the coffee shop served as the backdrop to their conversation.

Michael, sipping on his coffee, quirked an eyebrow, "So, spill it, Bella. What's this bold move you're making?"

Bella leaned in, her eyes reflecting determination, "I applied for a job at Montenegro Marketing. It's the only way I can get closer to the truth about Sofia's death."

Michael's skepticism was palpable. "You're taking a big risk, Bella. Are you sure the CEO is the one behind your sister's death?"

Bella nodded, "I have a gut feeling, and today's encounter only strengthened my suspicions. He bashed my car and threw money at me, for heaven's sake! That's not normal behavior."

Michael sighed, realizing he couldn't talk Bella out of her decision. "You're one stubborn woman, you know that? But fine, do what you wish. Just be careful. Investigating a CEO isn't child's play."

Bella smirked, "Stubbornness runs in the family. Besides, she died there, Michael. I need to find out the truth."

Michael shook his head with a resigned smile, "Alright, alright. But remember, if things get too dangerous, don't hesitate to step back. I can't afford to lose my favorite investigator."

Bella chuckled, "Deal. Now, take your leave, Mr. Concerned Friend."

As Michael left the coffee shop, Bella sat alone with her thoughts, knowing that her decision to infiltrate Montenegro Marketing would lead her into a web of secrets, lies, and a potential confrontation with the elusive CEO. Little did she know, the journey she was embarking on would unravel mysteries that extended beyond her sister's death, intertwining her fate with the enigmatic world hidden within the corporate walls of Montenegro Marketing.
