“I'm done with you, Lila; you and I know that there's no chemistry between us.” Grey Shun, the CEO of Bintex Ltd., one of the leading textile companies in the city of New York, told Lila Sims with his face devoid of any remorse. Lila Sims has been living in depression since the first day of her three-year-old marriage. She had done all she could to please Grey, but the more she tried, the more she kept getting depressed. Young, talented, and beautiful career woman, Lila Sims gave up everything for the sake of her marriage with Grey, turning her into a shadow of herself. A marriage she worked hard to keep moving ended like a flash of light on a day she least expected—her twenty-fifth birthday dinner! Lila Sims was ready to accept the divorce in good faith and let go of everything, until she discovered Grey's mystery mistress, who has been the cause of her misery in marriage. She vouch to take her revenge to the fullest. Lila conspired with Brian, Grey's ex-rival, to ruin Grey's life, but Brian wants more from her; he wants a relationship with her. Will Lila risk her heart for love again to get her revenge the way she planned, or will she give up on her revenge plans to avoid being heartbroken a second time?
ดูเพิ่มเติม" You look so beautiful tonight." My husband, Theo murmured into my ears, his tongue slowly licking my earlobes making me shudder.
I was standing by the dressing table, looking at the woman in the reflection and I could not help but agree to him.But wait… something sounded wrong or at least his choice of words wasn't appropriate." Just tonight?" I asked, cocking a brow at him, challengingly.Theo smiled, his smile so beautiful that I was mesmerised, lost in it for a moment before I shook my head to return to reality." Not just tonight Maya. You are always beautiful but every time, you display a different style of beauty and I can't help but fall in love all over again." Theo replied, flashing his pearly white teeth at me.I smiled back, nudging him with my butt." You have a sweet mouth." I commented and he chuckled, " Isn't that what you like about me?" He countered, raising his eyebrows at me.Yes, that's one of the reasons I like him but it's not entirely it.I have to agree to some extent that his sweet mouth was what lured me into his love trap.You see, Theo and I are not fated mates. We don't share the destined bond that mates share. It wasn't until he marked me that we forged a bond between us.He was about to take the position of Alpha but hadn't found his fated mate.When he proposed to me that night, I was the happiest woman on this planet.I said yes right away. Afterall, I always had a crush on him and hoped and prayed that he was my fated mate.Since our marriage, we have gone through a lot, endured a lot and conquered a lot.I'd say, he is not just my husband, he is my best friend too." I have more than enough reasons to love you." I replied casually but that was the truth.I have heard people talk behind my back,call me names and make nasty comments as to why I agreed to be with Theo.Some say that I agreed because nobody ever loved me and Theo was the first to show me concern. That's a truth I can't deny, Theo was the first person to treat me like a human.All my life, I was the despised and looked down upon daughter of my family.My mother called me a disaster on my eighteenth birthday after I shifted into a White wolf.Being of beta blood, our wolves are usually black in colour but I was an exception.The bad treatment I got from my family worsened after I shifted.I can't seem to forget how my father looked at me with disappointment. My mother's face was filled with scorn but Theo was there." You are special in your own way Maya. Never look down on yourself because you are the best version of yourself." Theo had said to me that night.From that day, my feelings for him deepened.Sometimes,I can't help but think that those people are actually true.Am I here with Theo because I love him or because he is the only one who cares about me. Or am I that power hungry bitch who couldn't wait to become Luna?' Whether we Love him or not, you should be clear about that in your heart.' My wolf, Sasha, commented." Tonight is your night Maya, shine as the star you are." Theo whispered, twirling me around and gazing straight Into my eyes." Be yourself. I know you have your worries. Forget about everything that happened today and focus on the reason we are having this party." He added before kissing me lightly.I wanted to deepen the kiss but Theo pulled away." We can't ruin your makeup. After the party, you can have me all to yourself." He said, winking at me before leaving the room.What I didn't know was that that was going to be the last kiss we shared.Taking a deep breath, I calmed down my nerves.I was still sad over what happened today at the pack's meeting. Flashback" It's been four years of your marriage and yet no signs of Luna getting pregnant? Alpha, can you explain this?" One elder blatantly asked." I am not ready to have a child yet." Theo answered as a matter of fact but the two of us knew that it wasn't the case." Not ready?" Another elder sneered." You are not ready or is it because you are covering up for her? Is she unable to bear Children?" He added, pointing his fingers at me.Theo slammed his hands on the table, obviously angry." I won't sit by and do nothing as you disrespect my Luna. If I say we are not ready, we aren't. There's no room for discussion on that matter." Theo roared, his eagle-like eyes regarding all the people present at the meeting." Nobody should bring this matter up again in the future." He added." You can't stop people from talking as long as they have the medium to do so. Why are you so agitated, is it because Maya can't give birth?" Clara, Theo's brother, commented." She's Luna for you!" Theo challenged, glaring at his sister who shrugged nonchalantly." Whether my wife is capable of giving birth or not, I don't owe anyone an explanation." Theo uttered with resolution.End of flashbackI wiped a stray tear that managed to escape.Actually, Theo and I have been trying to have children but every month when my periods come, disappointment floods me.Although he might appear calm and not caring about the matter on the surface, I know that he actually cares.As the Alpha and the head of the pack, how could he not care about having an heir who would take over his legacy?Even after going to different hospitals, the test results always come out the same; we are both healthy yet I can't seem to be pregnant." Don't give up! I can't give up now!" I murmured to myself, wiping clean my face before leaving the room.CHAPTER 95THE END: SIX MONTHS LATER“Mother, why haven't I seen Mr. Brian here again? Did he travel?” Ethan asked with an inquisitive look while having breakfast with his mother.Lila took a deep breath before giving a reluctant reply to the curious little boy.“He didn't travel, Ethan, just that he has been busy at work recently,” she answered with a twitch.“So, what about Mr. Grey? Did you love him? Or—is he?”“Come on, Ethan.” Lila interrupted.“You don't need to talk while eating. Please, observe some table manners.” She reprimanded him, scaring the little boy.A few minutes later, little Ethan couldn't hold his silence anymore when he heard the persistent knocking on the door while his mother had left for the kitchen.“Mother, I think Mr. Grey is at the door,” he said.With a broad smile as she opened the door, Lila's brows furrowed with a fading smile at the sight of the unexpected figure at the door.“What are you doing here, Brian?” She asked with a frown while blocking his
CHAPTER 94IN LOVE AGAIN Without hesitation, Grey stood up and rushed over to the passenger's side and joined her in the car.“W–what are you trying to do, Grey?”Lila questioned as her brows furrowed in confusion.Fixing his innocent eyes on her as he placed his palms on her hand while she held the steering wheel, his soft whispers made her numb at the moment.“Please, can you permit me to do Ethan's paternity test for a second time? I don't mind if you make a suggestion for the hospital of your choice,” he said calmly. The only response she could give was an unexplainable gesture in silence as she stuttered.“Grey, I—I don't think…”“Please, just this favor, and I'll be off your neck with disturbance,” Grey interrupted as he figured her response was going in the negative direction.Before she could utter another word, he was gradually leaning in as his hand met her cheek, and a warm whisper of his breath crashed against her skin until their lips met in a passionate, tender, and fier
CHAPTER 93 REUNION SPARKLING “What—did—you—just—say?” Lila's brows furrowed as she uttered those ceasing words. She could feel her heart pounding in her chest, leaving her with no choice but to get a good parking space and stop. Her eyes were suddenly turning fierce as she stepped out of the car and leaned on it. With a fixed and bitter look at Grey, she lowered her head and wrapped her hands around her chest. “Ghmmm…ghmmmm…” She cleared her throat. “If you don't mind, Mr. Grey, can you repeat exactly what you said while I was in the car?” She asked, peering her inquisitive eyes on him. “What phrase didn't you understand, Lila? I simply asked why Ethan was proven not to be my son, yet you gave birth to him just nine months after our divorce. So, tell me, are you a harlot or just some chronic cheat who …” Slap!!! “How dare you come to my house and accuse me of some nonsense infidelity, Grey?” She cut his statement short as her hands met his cheeks with a resounding slap. “So, yo
CHAPTER 92 THE DNA TEST “Mr. Brian, do you know that man? And why did we even come to the hospital, by the way?” Little asked with an inquisitive look after they left the hospital.Without a second thought, Brian answered wittily. “Sure, he's a friend, and—I actually wanted to see a doctor friend of mine, but unfortunately, he seems not to be on duty today.” Brian explained, convincingly and confusingly, to the little boy at the same time. “But—I think I know that man somewhere. He has once been to our house,” Ethan added. “What? No way!” Brian answered with furrowed brows. His mind began to race that the boy might tell his mother about meeting with Grey at the hospital. “I know who you are talking about, but this one is entirely a different person. In fact, he just returned from overseas yesterday. Probably, I think it should just be a resemblance, okay?” Brian explained, and the boy nodded. “Remember, every individual in this life has a lookalike somewhere he or she does
CHAPTER 91Brian returned to his house early in the morning so that he could get ready for work. Sitting in the dining room while sipping a cup of tea, he heard a knock on his door. “Come in,” he said without hesitation, believing that it could be Lila, because most times she does pass by the house before she proceeds to her office, which is just a few miles away. “Lila, I thought…” he paused when he heard a masculine voice greeting. “You, what are you doing here?” Brian said with an agitating frown. “Calm down, man. I'm only here for peace, so no need for the violent attack.” Grey, he said softly as he moved closer. “Well, you have a nice apartment.” He said as he rolled his eyes around the corners of the room. “I know that already. Can you just go straight to the point? I've got a lot of things to do .” Brian said rudely. “Alright. The thing is… I'm here for a favor, which I need so desperately from you.” Grey mentioned and paused to take a deep breath. “I… I saw Lila with a
CHAPTER 90HE KNOWS ALREADY. “Ethan, I said you should go inside. Don't worry, I'll explain everything to you once I'm done,” Lila said casually as she tried to avoid the little boy's question with a convincing peck on his cheek, but Ethan's smartness won't let him fall for her trick easily.“Come on, Ethan, have you forgotten that you have some homework to do? Let's get it done before your tutor comes.” Aunt Kendy convinced him when she saw the boy's hesitation to leave.“Answer my question, Lila. Whose son is he?” Grey insisted as his countenance began to turn unfriendly.“I don't owe you any explanations for the paternity of my son, Mr. Greyshun. Besides, where are your two daughters?” Lila responded with a straight face.Her hesitation made Grey's stomach churn. “Could it be that she was pregnant before the divorce?” he mouthed to himself. “Fine, I'll let that be. So what about the burning down of the warehouse? The condemnation of Cynthia's dress at the party? The cajoling of m
