Vivienne’s POV

I sighed into the phone, hearing the words falling from his lips.

“But Victor, I don’t think she will do it. She doesn’t look like she can ever hurt him.”

“Again, as I said, that is exactly her plan. That is what she wants you to believe so you can let your guard down. Besides, she doesn’t have to directly hurt him. She can decide to make him irrelevant. That alone would make your nephew lose what belongs to him.”

As soon as he said those words, it was as if the gate of knowledge opened up in my head.

Then I realized what he had been trying to tell me all along. Of course, Elena didn’t really love my nephew. She was probably only pretending because I was there.

I also realized I had been fighting only one thing all along— the thoughts that she could harm his life. However, with the thing Victor just said, it opened my eyes to something else, and my resolve to get her and her baby out of the White House as soon as possible became stronger.

  • Bound by His Mark, Freed by His Betrayal   Chapter 230

    Elena’s POVI had learned long ago that sometimes danger doesn’t announce itself with fangs or claws unsheathed.Sometimes it smiled. Other times, it lay beside you on the bed, pretending to be your number one person while hurting you in one of the harshest ways. In some cases, it even showed its head as a dedicated worker, bowing before you at will, all while wishing and plotting to take over your position beside the Alpha.All these experiences put me in a position where I wasn’t as trusting of people as I used to be.Search was the case that morning when I first noticed my maid making tea for me.It was the same one who always made my tea. Even when Vivienne’s gift came on, she was in charge of it.But on that morning after I told her to make me tea, something pushed me towards the kitchen, and I stumbled up on her pouring something into my cup.I was about to call her out when I quickly held myself back. I didn’t want to come to that first, but I knew what I saw was clear as day,

    Horace’s POV“Close the door,” I said to Logan I who came in behind me.He stood beside my table, his body tense as it always dead whenever he sends trouble.“Now let’s get to the order of the day.”“Yes, Alpha.”As I was about to start speaking, my mind went back to what I saw earlier. Vivienne’s assistant. The way he looked welcoming back into the White House wasn’t sitting well with him. The worst part was that I had no idea what was bothering me; I only knew that something kept tugging at my heart. Hence, why I wanted to take this step.“I’m not accusing anyone, let’s get that clear.”Logan nodded immediately. “Understood, Alpha. But even if you were, no one would dare question you.”Of course, he was right. Even if I was accusing anyone directly, it wasn’t like it was anyone who would question me.“Well, you’re not wrong on that.”“Exactly, Alpha. Besides, I can see that you’re not relaxed. Whatever is on your mind must be something serious. Serious enough to bother you.”I drew

    Elena’s POV“Vivienne, is that you?”I asked as I walked into the kitchen, somewhat surprised to see her here.“Uhm, yes, Luna. Just preparing something for myself.”It seemed weird that she would leave her own apartment and come to prepare something for herself, so I had to ask further.“The stove in your apartment doesn’t work?”She let out a small laugh.“Actually, I just walked in here to spend time with you and Ethan and felt a bit hungry, so I decided to make something for myself.”“Oh.” That made sense.But what didn’t make sense was that what she was preparing smelled like broth soup. The same thing I told the maid to prepare for me. “Oh, that’s surprising. I actually told a maid to prepare the same thing for me.”“Oh, then this must be yours. When I came in here, I actually didn’t meet anyone and just decided to add a few more ingredients to it and keep it for myself. I thought someone must have forgotten it on the stove.”“Urghhh, that silly girl. I’m going to have to repr

    Assistant’s POV.I sat in her living room, waiting for her to come in. The moment the girl pushed to, and she walked in, I jumped to my feet in genuine anticipation. I mean, it was Horace when we were talking about it here. A literal bastard, and I couldn’t even take a simple rest until I heard the results of the silly meeting he called unexpectedly.“So how did the meeting with the bastard go? Did he find out that you had anything to do with it?”She hesitated, which pissed me off because I didn’t have time for any of her silly gimmicks.“Answer me, dammit,” I yelled, jolting her. “Do you think I have all day for this nonsense? Does the hospital suspect you, yes or no?”She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down before she focused her eyes on me.“No, he doesn’t suspect me. At least, not specifically.”“What does that mean? What do you mean by that he doesn’t suspect you specifically?”“It means he’s suspicious of everyone in general. And when I say everyone, I mean every s

  • Bound by His Mark, Freed by His Betrayal   Chapter 225

    Horace’s POVI don’t even remember walking into the hospital boardroom; I only remember the sound of the door as I let it slam hard.As soon as I walked in, chairs began scraping back, voices died mid-sentence, bodies rose straight to their feet, and a sharp silence fell over the room immediately.The fear was apparent, and they were very right to feel it. My Luna, my Elena, had been set up again, and I was tired of putting up with all the nonsense. We may not have found the culprit, but it didn’t mean I couldn’t do something about the missing equipment at that moment.I stood at the head of the table, taking a good look around before settling myself down.“Sit,” I said, my voice low.But they knew better than to disobey me even if it wasn’t loud.They all sat down without still making a single noise. Doctors, nurses, supervisors, every manager from every hospital, and the four nurses in the room with my wife were All present.Every single person I knew who could be connected to th
