She looks like me

last update Last Updated: 2025-04-14 14:04:29

While butler was helping me to gather my things, I put off the eye lens. My natural eyes that I had been hiding since I was a kid finally got exposed in front of the butler.

A soft gasped echoed in the room. I turned towards Butler's direction when Butler approached me a bit closely.

" Miss. Are those your real eyes?" He sounded like he saw something unimaginable. His mouth was opened with mixed emotions.

My face turned pale. Usually I didn't let anyone see my eyes. They're the rarest. Usually Blue, Golden and Brown eyes are common here.

Alessandro's eye color was magical. When his color changed like the season. His eyes stayed brownish golden when he was calm. But when he got excited or angry, his eyes turned Golden like a Burning flame.

" Oh! Yeah. Are they weird? Sorry. I got it from my mother. A drop of blue in the center of silver eyes. I don't like them actually!" I chuckled while checking my eyes. Those eyes that made my life hell.

I put the dark brown lenses on my eyes before smiling... " I used to be bullied because of my eyes and me being a human. So I don't keep those eyes exposed!"

Butler's fingers shook when he slowly asked, " Does Master know about those eyes?" He asked, staring at my eyes profoundly.

" No. I am not allowed to put the blue eye lenses off in front of him. Though I think he will be rather disgusted by my eyes!"

" N-No! You may... I mean... You should show him-"

" It's not in the contract!" I cut him off. My voice was cold.

I forced a smile but my smile didn't reach my eyes, and it made him shut his mouth.

" And I would prefer if you keep it yourself instead of saying anything. My eyes shouldn't be anyone's concern, right?"

Carl's eyes widened. However there was a flicker of hesitation and some emotions that I couldn't identify. But it was sure that he was shaken by my eyes.

It was weird. Why would I tell Alessandro about my real eyes? Especially those eyes that never stopped bringing bad luck in my life.

I kept gathering a few things like my skincare products and a few clothes to scrape by. Butler seemed to have become eerily silently for a while.

Then,

" What will you do after the divorce?" Butler asked, his voice was gentler than usual. But there was hesitation in his tone. For some reason he looked anxious.

But his question felt like a knife twisting in my heart. We had finally arrived at the end of this contract marriage. And it felt like drowning in an ocean of ice water.

The marriage... Maybe Alessandro didn't hold any value for this relationship in his mind but it was my first marriage and first time falling in love. So the word Divorce felt like someone tearing my heart apart from my body.

" Well, Mr Alessandro has given me enough to scrape by for a while. Also I have been thinking about leaving the Packs and heading to the human world. Now I got money. So I want to live where I belong!"

" But you are truly not a human, are you? Your Wolf can appear anytime!" He asked in concern. But I was a human not even an Omega. That was a reason for everything, right?

" That's possible. But I am already 25 years old. I don't even consider myself a late boomer! Not even an Omega" I chuckled, grabbing the suitcase. " Also nothing would change even if my Wolf returns!"

He looked surprised but nodded with agreement. " You are strong enough to have a Beta Wolf, Miss. I don't think you will be an Omega!"

" Neither is suitable for me. Human is fine. I have embraced my life with my own identity!" I smiled assuringly.

At least Omegas can fight with their wolves. Humans don't even have a Wolf. Since I didn't even manifest after I turned 18, I was announced as Human. I wasn't allowed to meet the Moon Goddess who regularly appeared in every New Moon, brightening the dark sky. She would offer her blessing to everyone.

And she never came to me. Maybe I wasn't a favorite of her like her other children.

That was why maybe I didn't find my mate or my Wolf.

" I see. Anyway, Nova will attend as your personal servant and will accompany you to the penthouse for three weeks. Master may visit you. So please keep it in mind that the contract will be nullified the moment you sign the divorce papers. Till then, your job is to pretend as his wife and obey his words like usual!" His eyes filled with sadness as he announced like a broken radio.

I chuckled hearing his shaky words. " Don't be sad, Butler Uncle. The first thing you should concentrate on is your Master's happiness. Now I can leave the place and live a life as my own. Not someone else!"

" I am sorry, Madam!"

Madam? My eyes widened when he called me that. Alessandro had forbidden everyone to call me Madam. Only Evelyn, the truth wife had that right to be called Madam.

When I came here for the first time, they called me Madam and Alessandro got so angry that he punished them by cancelling their long weekend trip.

So they never called me anything.

" Thank you!" I muttered... " But I don't deserve such a heavy title." I grabbed my suitcase and walked towards the door. " Stay healthy. We might cross the road soon!"

I smiled, opening the door. Although it felt so heavy to move away from the house I spent three years, I knew that it was foreseeable the moment I signed my name on the contract.

But my eyes widened when I noticed Alessandro standing behind the door and holding his hand, Evelyn was staring at me with a smile.

Alessandro's face was dark as if he was hating himself standing before me. But Evelyn, she looked unbothered... No, kinda amused.

" So she is your wife, Alessandro! She looks like me!" Her voice was light as feathers but heavy with a condescending tone.

  • Escaping From My Ruthless Husband   Don't betray the Pack

    I went straight to the Alpha Pack House soon after. The entire Pack was chaotic and desperate to run away. The weak Werewolves to Omegas were disoriented and hysterically shifting into their wolves. They were losing control over their emotions, creating havoc and confusion that put the young pups and the unmated females at serious risk. The tension hung thick in the air like a dense fog of fear and impending doom.When I walked into the hall room, the house felt eerily silent. The contrast between the panic outside and the emptiness inside felt like a split in two different worlds. The servants were randomly running around, bumping into each other, their expressions pale and eyes filled with uncertainty. Some elders were talking in the corner of the hall room in hushed voices, their expressions grim yet terrified. One could tell by just looking at them that something far worse than a rogue attack was hovering over us.As I walked towards Alpha Simmons’s room, one of the elders, Sir Da

  • Escaping From My Ruthless Husband   A dream

    Alessandro, " Why bother? Are you scared that I don't look like others? I won't hurt you anyway. So don't need to be scared!" A gentle hand reached my face as I was standing outside the campus with nothing but a bag of popcorn that I barely ate. " Don't hate me for my look, Okay? I will be your friend forever!" She whispered, giggling. I opened my eyes, realizing that I was dreaming again. It was the same dream, dream when I saw a girl. Same age as mine but too different. Sometimes she would appear with torn clothes, appear with full of bruises and some time, beaming with joy. I started having this dream since I was five. And this girl was nothing but a dream with different eyes, with gentle smile. I used to tell Carl and Evelyn about her. Although Evelyn would laugh it off, Carl would say something like destiny which never helped me out. I never met that girl. Obviously it was creation of mine, my imagination. Since I spent most of my childhood alone with nobody.

  • Escaping From My Ruthless Husband   The Actual Family

    With a slight chill down my spine and cold sweats, I woke up in a room I couldn't recognize. The scent of lavender in the air was thick enough to twist my stomach and force my body off the bed in panic.There was a needle attached to my hand with an IV drip. Pulling it away from me, I stood in the middle of the room.My hand reached my mouth as I scanned the space, spotting the bathroom in the south corner.With the bathroom door closed behind me, the sound of the main door opening echoed through the room."You should have been a better mother if you didn't want to see her go through it." A voice came. Not the man who claimed to be my brother—someone else.I threw up, feeling everything inside trying to force its way out. I hadn't had proper meals, so it became incredibly difficult.Sitting on the floor, I watched myself collapse with no hope. I was terrified of walking out of the bathroom. Seeing that woman who made my life a living hell. A woman who faked her death to leave me with

  • Escaping From My Ruthless Husband   Unknown Pack

    Mauve,It took three days and two nights for us to cross five different packs before arriving at our destination. The man with the same eyes as mine carried me on his back, gathered food and water, and ensured that despite the long journey, my baby remained safe.I was grateful for everything he had done. The sense of having a brother—a guardian—was growing stronger with every passing moment. There was an unfamiliar comfort in his presence, in the way he looked after me.Now, we stood before an old entrance. Two wolf statues stood like guardians, majestic and unmoving, with two golden moons gleaming above the arch.He shifted back to his human form and looked at me with a soft smile.“We're home, Mauve. A lot of people are waiting for you,” he said, gently taking my hand.A lot of people... waiting for me?I was just a mere human—bullied, abandoned by those I once trusted. Unwanted. Invisible. My existence was never acknowledged, yet now, thousands of miles away from everything I knew

  • Escaping From My Ruthless Husband   Seal it

    After handling a few tasks in my company and helping others to stay cautious with the ongoing situation, I walked into the house.The Pack's sky was dark. The faint moonlight barely reached the ground, as if the heavens themselves turned their back on us. The air reeked of something uncanny, like someone had sprayed Wolfsbane across the entire territory. A looming disaster hung in the atmosphere—but why?Kyde didn’t seem to care. He was one of the strongest Alphas blessed by the Moon Goddess, yet he had gracefully refused the role of the next Alpha, syncing with the decision I once made without hesitation.As I pushed the door open and stepped inside, something felt off. Different. The house that once carried familiarity no longer welcomed me. I didn’t feel the weight of responsibility. No footsteps hurried toward me. No polite, rehearsed smile. No glass of cold water with a slice of lemon resting on the rim. Just silence.Why would I miss that presence around me? Why would I feel det

  • Escaping From My Ruthless Husband   A plague

    Alessandro,"How is she doing?" I asked Alexander when he walked out of the doctor's room.He gave a quiet nod before walking straight to Evelyn's room. He barely acknowledged my presence. Still sulking because I was fast enough to catch her before he could reach.It had been two days. I had been watching her from a distance. Her ankle was twisted. Thankfully, we could stop the pillar from hitting her from behind. But the trauma ran deeper than bones and bruises. She hadn’t said a word since the accident. The doctor said she kept staring at the ceiling with unfocused eyes, lost in a place no one could follow her into.I was emotionally detached from her. Yet, here I was... "Alessandro!" Dad's voice came from behind. He had just returned from the pack house after calming down the elders. "Let's talk outside. Healer Arnold is handling things.""Okay." I followed him quietly.As we went out, he lit a cigarette with a heavy, thoughtful sigh. The fire flickered against his hardened face,

  • Escaping From My Ruthless Husband   A long journey

    When I was younger, I used to hate darkness. Each time the dark shrouded the world, the fear of being abused, beaten, starving, and sometimes—watching my father's ruthless wolf hunting those animals like they meant nothing to the world—came crawling in.The more I grew up, the better I realized—not only those innocent pets but even my life didn’t matter.I was different. I had my mother’s eyes, but I wasn’t like her at all. She was a woman who would charm men to earn money. While my father would drink all day long, and at night, he would go to my mom, torture her, and lock me inside a small closet.I was different. My eyes were different, and my hair... they were different too. Different from my mother’s as well.And once I grew up, I knew that all I had was my appearance—different from the people around me. No one had those eyes—silver with a drop of blue in the center. Long bluish-silver hair that I started dyeing when I was six.I was bullied constantly. No CPS, no cops could help,

  • Escaping From My Ruthless Husband   Live well

    "Meet me at the northern borderline. I will wait if you decide."He didn’t tell me his name. Not even a title. Just handed me a card with an address and disappeared into the fog of uncertainty, leaving behind a silence louder than any goodbye.Before stepping off the boat, he took off his hoodie and gently wrapped it around my shoulders. It was warm, a little oversized, and carried the faintest trace of firewood and pine—his scent. I held it tightly, not out of cold, but as if it was the only anchor keeping my cracked soul from shattering.When I stepped onto solid ground, surrounded by strangers who didn’t even spare me a glance, I realized how deeply lost I was. There was no one familiar, no familiar scent, no hand reaching for mine. Just me—and the growing ache in my limbs and chest.The healer's offer still echoed in my mind. Escape. Freedom. A life away from this pack.Why would he offer help when I didn't even know his name?But the way he said I was unwanted... it pierced deepe

    "I heard there was a spy on the ship as well. They signaled the pirates to attack us!"Sitting in the corner of the boat, watching my body gradually grow numb, I heard those whispers.What a perfect time to attack.I laughed bitterly in my mind, recalling the moment Alessandro dropped me from his arms like I was nothing more than a heavy burden, something disposable. Something that could die beneath the crumbling walls.That expression on his face when he realized Evelyn was about to fall—the way he let his wolf approach her without hesitation...No doubt about it. He loved her deeply. So much so that he was ready to discard everything else around him.I curled into myself, trying to disappear from everyone’s sight. The pain was strong, and everything around me was turning unclear.As I drifted close to unconsciousness, the staff member who had carried me to the boat earlier slowly approached me. His smile was polite and distant.With a small nod, he gestured to the first aid box and
