CHAPTER 7

As Sabrina approached the sprawling mansion where her father, Brandon Hart, lived as a businessman, she couldn't help but be impressed by the sheer size and grandeur of the property. The mansion was situated on a large piece of land, with lush gardens and manicured lawns surrounding the house.

The house itself was a grand, multi-story structure made of rich, dark stone, with tall pillars and large windows that allowed ample natural light to flood the interior. The front door was massive, made of dark, polished wood, and adorned with intricate carvings.

As Sabrina entered the house, she was greeted by a grand entrance hall, with marble floors and a sweeping staircase leading to the upper floors. The walls were adorned with expensive paintings and sculptures, and large chandeliers hung from the ceiling, casting a warm glow over the space.

As she walked through the house, Sabrina could see that no expense had been spared in its construction and decoration. The rooms were spacious and airy, with high ceilings and large windows that offered stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The furniture was elegant and luxurious, with plush sofas and armchairs, ornate tables and cabinets, and delicate glassware and china on display.

The house also boasted several impressive amenities, including a grand library, a state-of-the-art home theater, a gym, and a large indoor swimming pool. Outside, there was a tennis court, a golf course, and a large swimming pool surrounded by a well-appointed sun deck.

As Sabrina wandered through the house, taking in its opulence and grandeur, she couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and a twinge of envy. Despite her father's controversial past, there was no denying that he had built an impressive estate that was the envy of many.

As Sabrina informed her father, Brandon Hart, that Kenneth was coming for dinner, she could see the surprise and hesitation on his face. Brandon had always been wary of Kenneth, and their relationship had been strained at best.

"Kenneth is coming for dinner?" Brandon asked, his voice tinged with surprise.

Sabrina nodded. "Yes, I thought it would be a good opportunity for us to talk in your presence, Daddy. I am sure he will try to convince me to make things work out,” she added.

Brandon looked at her skeptically. "And what makes you think that he'll be willing to work things out? He's always been a bastard, Sabrina.”

Sabrina sighed, feeling a sense of frustration. "I know, Dad. But his inheritance was being tied up to this marriage. He wants me to remain as his wife until the money would be transferred to his personal account”

“Seriously? That fucking bastard! You know what to do with him, do you?”

Sabrina smiled at him gratefully, and said, “Yes, Dad. I am your daughter, after all.”

While dinner time was approaching, Sabrina couldn't help but feel nervous. She didn't know how Kenneth was going to react upon learning the truth that she was not an omega or a lowborn woman, but the only daughter of Brandon Hart!

When Kenneth arrived, Sabrina greeted him with a sense of trepidation. They exchanged awkward small talk. As Sabrina and Kenneth sat down at the dining table to have dinner together, the atmosphere was tense and uncomfortable. The table itself was a large, ornate piece of furniture made of polished wood, with intricate carvings and detailing.

The table was set with an array of expensive china, silverware, and crystal glasses, each piece sparkling in the soft light of the dining room. A large, decorative floral centerpiece adorned the middle of the table, its sweet fragrance filling the air.

The dining chairs were elegant and luxurious, with plush cushions and intricate designs carved into the wood. Despite their comfortable appearance, Sabrina couldn't help but feel uneasy as she sat down at the table across from Kenneth.

The room itself was large and imposing, with high ceilings and walls adorned with expensive artwork and tapestries. Large windows on one side of the room allowed ample natural light to flood in, casting a warm glow over the space.

Despite the opulence and grandeur of the dining room and the table itself, Sabrina couldn't help but feel a sense of discomfort and awkwardness as she and Kenneth sat down to eat. The tension between them was palpable, and they ate in silence, each lost in their own thoughts.

As Sabrina and Kenneth finished their meal, they were interrupted by the arrival of Sabrina's father, Brandon Hart. Kenneth looked up in surprise as Brandon entered the dining room, his expression turning to one of shock as he realized who he was dining with.

"Brandon Hart?!" Kenneth exclaimed, his voice betraying his shock.

Brandon looked at him with a sense of amusement. "Yes, that's me. And you must be Kenneth McBride, Sabrina's husband."

“Kenneth, he’s my father, Brandon Hart.”

Kenneth looked at Sabrina with a sense of disbelief. "You never told me that your father was a rich man!"

Sabrina looked at him with a sense of annoyance. "It's not something I feel the need to brag about, Kenneth. My father's wealth has nothing to do with our marriage."

Kenneth looked at Brandon with a sense of awe. "You're a very successful man, Mr. Hart. I had no idea."

Brandon smiled at him indulgently. "Yes, I suppose I am. But let's not talk about me. Let's talk about the two of you. How are things going?"

As Sabrina and Kenneth continued to negotiate the terms of their divorce settlement, they were interrupted by the sudden arrival of Brandon Hart, Sabrina's father and the ferocious Alpha of the Dark Moon pack.

Kenneth looked up in surprise as Brandon entered the room, his expression turning to one of shock as he realized who he was dealing with.

"Brandon Hart?! What are you doing here?" Kenneth asked, his voice betraying his shock.

Brandon looked at him with a sense of amusement. "I'm here to support my daughter, Kenneth. And to make sure that she gets a fair deal in this divorce settlement."

Kenneth looked at Sabrina, feeling a sense of confusion. "I don't understand. What does your father have to do with this?"

Sabrina looked at him with a sense of determination. "My father is here to make sure that I'm taken care of, Kenneth. And to make sure that you don't take advantage of me in this settlement."

Kenneth felt a sense of anger building inside of him. "I'm not trying to take advantage of you, Sabrina. I just want to make sure that we both get a fair deal."

Brandon looked at him skeptically. "Is that so? Well, I'll be the judge of that."

As they continued to negotiate the terms of their settlement, Kenneth couldn't help but feel a sense of unease with Brandon Hart's presence. He knew that the ferocious Alpha of the Dark Moon pack was not someone to be trifled with, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of intimidation.

Despite his misgivings, Kenneth continued to negotiate in good faith, hoping to come to a fair and equitable settlement that would satisfy both him and Sabrina. As they worked through the details of their divorce, Kenneth couldn't help but feel a sense of respect for Brandon Hart. Despite his fearsome reputation, he was a shrewd negotiator and a fierce protector of his family, and Kenneth knew that he had to tread carefully in order to come out of this settlement unscathed.

Sabrina and Kenneth exchanged awkward glances, neither of them sure how to respond. As they started to speak, Brandon interrupted them.

"I know that the two of you are going through a difficult time, but I want you to know that I'm here for both of you. Whatever you need, I'll do my best to help."

Sabrina looked at her father gratefully, feeling a sense of comfort and support. Despite their complicated relationship, Brandon had always been there for her, and she knew that she could count on him to support her through this difficult time.

As they continued to talk, Sabrina and Kenneth couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and respect for Brandon Hart. His wealth and success were impressive, but his willingness to support his daughter and her husband in their time of need was even more so.

Sabrina couldn't help but feel a sense of relief that the awkward dinner was over. Despite the beauty and luxury of the setting, the experience had been marred by the tension and unease between her and her soon-to-be ex-husband.

Sabrina and Kenneth spoke privately, and she was not surprised when he expressed a willingness to work things out. Sabrina couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration and exhaustion. The constant arguing and tension between them had taken its toll, and she just wanted the whole process to be over.

"Kenneth, I'm willing to offer you ten times the amount you offered to me, just to make this divorce happen faster."

Kenneth looked at her with a sense of shock. "Ten times the amount? Are you serious?"

Sabrina nodded. "Yes, I am. I just want this to be over, and I'm willing to pay whatever it takes to make that happen as soon as possible.”

Kenneth thought for a moment before responding, and said, “If your decision is final, then I will sign the papers. Let’s meet again in court.”

As Kenneth was about to leave the meeting place with Sabrina and her father, he was stopped in his tracks by the sudden arrival of a black car that screeched to a halt in front of him. The car's tinted windows prevented him from seeing inside, but he knew that whoever was driving it meant business.

As the car door opened, Kenneth saw that it was Lucas King. Lucas stepped out of the car and walked towards Kenneth, a stern look on his face. The old man had a wild reputation and the name Lucas King was mostly mentioned by his grandfather. Lucas King was rumored to be a notorious mafia boss, but judging the scene before his eyes, his grandfather might be right.

"Kenneth McBride. I need to have a word with you," Lucas said, his voice low and menacing.

Kenneth swallowed hard, feeling a sense of unease wash over him. He knew that he was in the presence of a dangerous man, and he had no idea what Lucas wanted from him.

"What do you want, sir?" Kenneth asked, his voice shaking slightly.

Lucas looked at him with a sense of contempt. "You think you can just waltz in here and try to take advantage of our Sabrina? Do you think you can just walk away from this divorce unscathed? Well, I'm here to tell you that you're wrong."

Kenneth looked at Lucas with a sense of confusion. "What are you talking about? I'm not trying to take advantage of Sabrina. We're just trying to come to a fair and equitable settlement."

Lucas stepped closer to him, his eyes blazing with anger. "Don't try to play dumb with me, McBride. I know what you're up to. And if you don't watch yourself, you're going to regret it. One day, I will pay your home a visit.”

With that, Lucas got back into the car and drove away, leaving Kenneth standing there feeling shaken and intimidated. He knew that he was in over his head, and he didn't know if he had what it took to stand up to the powerful Dark Moon pack, and the notorious Mafia Boss.
