Alpha 231

It was late at night when I was heading back to my house. I did not go back to the pack house

because was waiting for that woman.

My driver stopped the car outside my house. From the window, I could see another car parked

outside.

Before my driver could open the back door for me, another woman. appeared in front of my car.

She hurriedly walked to the back door and opened it for me.

Her desperate gaze met mine. I stepped down from the car and looked at her.

“Lynda.”

She shut the door loudly and crossed her hands over her chest.

“What’s going on, Adrian?”

I averted my gaze from her and began to walk towards the door of my house.

She trailed behind me until she stopped to step in front of me.

“Adrian, you can’t ignore my questions today. You need to reply to me.”

I looked into her eyes. I saw rage in them. I took hold of her arm and moved her away from my

side.

“I am busy right now. I don’t want to talk about anything.”

When I took out my house key, she held my wrist to stop me.

“How can you do that to me, Adrian? How can you cheat on me?”

I turned my head at her and replied,

“Lynd-”

She interrupted me by saying, “No, Adrian. You can’t fool me around anymore. All the people saw

you pulling Natalia into your cabin. By the way, why did that woman go to your office in the first

place? Why can’t she let me stay in peace for a while? Just when I wanted to talk about our

marriage to your parents, she showed up with her children.”

My eyes darkened as I frowned at her. “They are my children too.”

She looked away from me as her hands trembled a little around my

wrist.-

“I–I am sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt you. But why did you break my heart?”

Her eyes became teary. My gaze softened, as I did not want her to be frightened by me.

I patted her hand, which was holding my wrist, and said,

“I am not a good man. You don’t deserve me but someone better.”

She raised her head with wide eyes. “W–What do you mean?”

“Lynda, let’s break up.”

She immediately yanked her hand away and took a step back. Tears rolled down on her cheeks.

“I have been in love with you for years. How can you change your mind? Is it because that woman

has returned to your life?”

I could not reply to her question. If she believed the reason was Natalia, she was right

“People call you ruthless, but you have never shown me your cruel side until now. But what

happened to you today, Adrian? Why do you want me to think of you as a heartless man? How can

you forget

what I did for you when I was a child?”

1 tightened my fists. The sharp edge of the key ring almost pierced my palm.

I knew I was a betrayer. Leaving her meant betraying the little girl who had saved me. She was my

lifesaver. But, at the time, all I could do was end this one–sided relationship. She would never have

a

happy life with me anyway.

“What makes you still want her? Adrian, is it only because she is the mother of your children? If

that’s the case, I can be a good mo-”

She paused and looked at me with a shocked expression when I interrupted her by saying,

“It’s because I love that woman.”
