Chapter 35: The Downfall

last update Last Updated: 2025-08-11 11:00:06

Mirabel's POV

My blood froze, and in the silent room, I felt the relentless drumming of my heart. Rob reacted faster than I did, pulling out of me and swiftly sliding his shorts on.

I scrambled to dress, a pounding headache forming as I frantically wondered what to say to get out of this mess. I was utterly shocked by Leo’s reaction. Once I saw him, I’d braced myself for fury, yelling, violence, and revenge. Instead, he stood calm, distant even. It wasn’t rage I saw in his eyes, but a strange, quiet relief. In that moment, I realized he wasn’t devastated—he was, somehow, unburdened.

My thoughts slow down my reaction, and again, Rob was quicker than me, replying coolly to Leo, “I wouldn’t gloat if I were you. She has every right to seek attention; you were cheating on her, ignoring her, mistreating her.”

Leo began to laugh. “Is that what she told you? The woman who trapped me into marriage and l

  • Drawing Her Fate: Luna's Redemption   Chapter 40: The Intruder in My Bed

    Sebastian’s POV Alexandra looked heartbreakingly beautiful when she slept—peaceful, relaxed, innocent. A stray lock of hair had fallen across her face; I brushed it aside. She stirred, her eyes fluttering open. Her gaze swept the ceiling, then darted to the right with a gasp. When she finally turned left and saw me, she jolted so hard she nearly toppled off the bed. She yanked the covers up to her chin, breathing fast. “What are you doing in my bed?” I smirked. “It’s my bed. You’re in my hotel room.” Suspicion lingered in her eyes, but when she peeked under the covers and saw she was still in last night’s bodycon dress, her shoulders eased. “It’s not what you think. Do you remember anything?” I asked. Her brow furrowed. “I texted you a photo of that message on my wall—asked if you knew who could be behind it—and you never replied.” “I didn’t reply,” I explaine

    Leo’s POV Freedom tasted sweet. The moment I held the signed divorce papers from Mirabel, it was as if heavy chains had fallen from my shoulders. I could finally breathe, move… live. Now, all I needed was to win Lexy back—and I’d be the happiest man alive. Blake wagged his tail eagerly, sensing where we were headed. He wanted to see Lexy as much as I did. This time, I wasn’t going to waste another moment—I would court her properly and, when the time was right, propose. Of course, the prince was a thorn in my side. But my father was right—he was a womanizer, never staying with the same woman for long. I checked the mirror one last time—blond hair perfectly styled, my shirt fitting snug over my muscles, the deep blue fabric making my eyes stand out. I grabbed a huge bouquet of roses and a wrapped jewellery box before heading for her apartment. The door was ajar. Unease flickered through me, but I stepped inside

    Alexandra POVSebastian’s hand was wrapped around mine as we stepped out of the coffee shop. I knew his affectionate gestures were only part of our act, but somehow, his touch still seeped past my guard, warming something deep inside me. I had morning meetings lined up, and this unplanned coffee break with him had been both unexpected and surprisingly pleasant. We were no longer just partners in some elaborate ruse—we were beginning to feel like friends.Before we went our separate ways, he pulled me into a warm hug and brushed a soft kiss against my cheek."I had a great time today. Don’t forget about the party tomorrow. I’ll collect you at one," he said, his voice low and warm."I’ll try not to forget," I teased, a small smile tugging at my lips. "See you tomorrow."I turned toward my car, yet my heart lingered behind, reluctant to leave his company. I was starting to enjoy the moments I spent with Sebastian—more than I cared to ad

  • Drawing Her Fate: Luna's Redemption   Chapter 37: United Forces

    Mirabel’s POV Sipping my coffee in a small local café, I watched people outside flooding the streets, faces expressionless like robots, hurrying to their jobs. The rain was slowly pattering outside, and everything looked dull like a huge mass of people in similar grey business suits. The thought of work twisted my face into a disgusting grimace and brought back a memory. With Omegas carrying my luggage, I entered my family home. Divorced, disgraced, I had to return to look for sanctuary under the wing of my father and stepmother. I wasn’t pleased about it. Hinestly, I had no desire to leave again, fully controlled, and play a happy family again. But I had absolutely no choice. My father met me at the entrance, looking even less pleased. His chest was rising, his breathin

  • Drawing Her Fate: Luna's Redemption   Chapter 36: Burning Fire

    Alexandra’s POVI woke up on the sofa wearing yesterday’s clothes. Sunlight was shining in my face as the curtains were open. Strangely, I had no headache or dizziness—I actually felt fresh and energized. It was already 10 a.m., so I took a quick shower to get ready for lunch at the palace.The water streamed over my body, refreshing not only my skin but also my mind. I dried off and started to get ready. I let my curls flow naturally down my back, applied light makeup, and put on a black midi dress—designed by Arabella, of course. The voluminous tulle skirt was richly layered to create a flared, ballerina-style silhouette. The bodice featured a delicate floral appliqué in pastel tones, lavishly arranged over a fitted sweetheart neckline. Thin shoulder straps tied into bows added a dainty, feminine touch. The contrasting pastel embroidery brought life to the inky tulle, while the structured bodice melted seamlessly into the airy, full skirt—a perfect balance of romantic
