Romans de Lotus Ink

Three years later… ~ Mira's POV ~The room stilled the moment I stepped in, eyes turning at me just like the way I wanted.The chandelier lights sparkled above like fallen stars, casting a glow over the polished floors and the exquisite diamond studded gowns and crisps tuxedos. I stepped out of the black limousine, dressed in a black body-con silk, the bodice was tight, strapless, and studded with tiny black crystals that caught the light each time I took a step. I could feel longing gazes on my body, I held my chin up with a smile on my face.I didn’t need an introduction. The whispers already began."Is that—?" "That's the Cyber Empress."Flashes from cameras popped in my face as I walked into the grand ballroom. “OMG!!!, She's so pretty”Another said but I am not here for show off, just–This was no ordinary gala. It was a summit of the powerful and the dangerous. CEOs, Alpha royals, witches cloaked in glamour, and humans who had no idea the supernatural existed. This was th

~ Mira's POV ~“You cheated?”Alpha Rowan growled, his gaze traveling down to the bed and at me.“I was taken advantage of. I had no idea, you asked me to collect a parcel but then–”," Stop the freaking lies, Mira. I sent you on no such errands”, he cut me off and I pursed my lips in a thin line.The air stilled.“Then what about the parcel, the parcel you asked me to pick up", My stomach twisted in knots, refusing to settle. My voice, when it finally came out, barely made it past a whisper as it dawned on me.But no way. I shook my head in disbelief. He wouldn't go to such an extent just to divorce me. “Tell me you did ask my assistant to inform me to pick up a parcel," I questioned, quipping a brow. My heart is jackhammering against my ribcage. “You were trying to cover this up, feeding me with lies. That's unbelievable, Mira", He scoffed, his lips twitching into a smirk."Alpha Rowan, you know I didn’t! You framed me! I would never..." Tears rolled down my cheeks.But he wasn’t l

~ Mira's POV ~The scent of coffee lingered in the air as I moved around the kitchen, I looked over at the clock, the sun hadn't fully risen when I dragged myself off the bed, aching and swollen but I had no choice. I had to do the house chores, clean every part of the packhouse then head over to the office. The same routine everyday.I forced myself into my routine. Coffee brewed in the corner as I multitasked, scrubbing dishes with one hand and flipping toast with the other. My fingers felt numb, but I kept moving. The memory of last night rewinding in my head. He had said there was no "us."I blinked hard and shoved the thought aside. The kettle whistled.Just breathe, Mira. One breath. Then another. I poured myself a cup of coffee, catching my breath. Footsteps thundered down the stairs and my breath hitched in my throat.Thousands of questions buzzed my mind as to why he stayed in the packhouse overnight.“Mira”, he called out and my heart skipped. I wiped my hands so fast o

~ Mira's POV ~I tapped lightly on the marble coated glass, but no response. I narrowed my eyes, my hands trembling as I turned the door knob. It's unlocked? Maybe he left it unlocked since he knew I would be stopping by. I took a heavy strides into Alpha Rowan's office with a file which requested signing. I halted my steps to the scene before me, I had paid no attention to the sounds. The unmistakable moans that had reached my heightened ears at the doorstep. I refused to breathe for a minute, my fingers were numb and the files dropped on the floor. I should walk out, I should leave the file and go but I couldn't move, my legs were jelly and he might lash out at me for leaving too. I had to freaking watch. Knots swarmed in my stomach, the bile rising in my throat at the sight. Did he call me over to see this? I trembled taking shaky steps forward but my mate wouldn't even look over at my face, almost like my presence hadn't been noticed. “Alpha, I need this signed", I whispered
