144LUCAS’ POV.“Court? You don’t mean that? What do you want to fight for in court?” She asked, looking at me with her brows raised.“A divorce.” I replied, and she shook her head.“How do you hope to win against John in court? You know how he manipulates people, and wait, what are we fighting for? Can partners of the Alpha Marriage be divorced? It’s a blood contract that was signed, it can’t be broken.” She said.“I know. The couple will no longer be called a couple in name, but the both of them can no longer sleep with, or love any other people, but our case is different. We can still love each other because for some reason, I’m not dying, even though I’m daring to have a relationship with you.”“I thought we agreed it’s because you and John are related by blood?” She asked, folding her arms.“We don’t know that. Will says, centuries ago, a man once died by sleeping with the wife of his twin. There has to be another reason, and Tray just told me about a library that keeps old, forg

143EMILY’S POV.It was a complete mess at work. John took all his anger out on the employees. He had been cranky all morning.“I need to check the sales performance of each department.” He had suddenly said, getting up from his seat, while he and the directors discussed in his office.Together, we all left the office.“Mr. Granger. If we have to check all the departments, and their sales performance, then you’ll be at least, twenty minutes late for your meeting with Mr. Steve Collins.” I said, looking over his tight schedule.He didn’t say anything; he simply ignored me, and everyone around, noticed that he had ignored me.“Mr. Granger.” I tried again, “You have an appointment with…”“Laughing? What’s so funny? Count me in, and let’s tell a joke while our sales are dropping every minute.” He snapped at two female employees, who laughed while looking over something at the computer.The both of them as straightened up immediately, and got to their feet, as did everyone else.“It’s not

142LUCAS’ POV.I left the garden, right after Emily, and made my way to John’s room. I wasn’t going to try to calm him, or strike a deal like Emily thought. Instead, I was going to threaten him. If he really wanted to go against me, then he was to go ahead and try shit.In any kind of battle, I was definitely going to win.I knocked on his door hastily, but there came no response, so I opened it. The room was cold, and deserted. He wasn’t there.My next destination was the Raymond mansion, hoping he didn’t go there to tattle off to his father first. Although, I doubted he’d do that. He’d probably want to think about it, and decide the best way he could use it to his advantage, and he was likely to try to threaten Emily with it also. Try to order her around.However, the lights of the mansions were off. Then, it hit immediately. He had probably gone to await Emily in her room.My feet didn’t waste any time in rushing back to my mansion. Before John did anything irrational in his drunk

141EMILY’S POV.It seemed like my heart wanted to break out of my chest, as John declared his intentions. If he told the public what happened, Lucas’ businesses would be affected, he would be spoken about by almost everyone. I wouldn’t be spared either. Apart from partaking in the ridicule, and mockery, the Grangers would not let me be.Alpha Raymond will definitely punish me. Alpha Will, who never spoke much, looked like he was only waiting for one wrong move, waiting for me to step out of line.Would my life end like that? No way. In John’s eyes, I could see that he was really pained, but none of it was my fault. He took things the wrong way; he made all the wrong decisions, and chose all the wrong things to believe in.I didn’t believe he loved me, or he’d have to explain to me on what planet people loved like that.Apart from his threat, the way he looked at me seemed to communicate a message. He was going to make me suffer for it. He wouldn’t let me go freely.John had gone from

140LUCAS’ POV.“You know, I met Katie today.” Emily began, when we met at the garden late at night.“Katie?”“She quit.” Emily replied, looking at me.“Why? She’s been working with John for years. Something really terrible must have happened for her to leave him. It must have been a tough decision.”“Yeah. John tricked her, and made her get the documents for the Alpha marriage. She didn’t know he had intended it for me because he lied to her saying it was for two friends who were in love. She got mad, and didn’t want to be the reason people’s lives are easily ruined by John.” She replied, and I actually felt proud of Katie.Due to John’s immaturity, Katie had actually taken care of him, cleaned up his mess, advised him, and had truly cared for him even though she didn’t love him romantically. She probably saw parts of him that no one else could. Katie was in the best position to know if John would change, and her leaving meant she knew it was all over, and John wouldn’t change.“What

139JOHN’S POV.That day, two men had come with their documents, wanting to apply for the post of a personal assistant, which Katie had left open. Seeing them, and noticing their little faults here and there, only made me miss Katie all the more. She was efficient in all the ways one could imagine. She always had an answer prepared for every question.In some ways, she had become a friend, and her absence made me feel completely alone—like there was no one on my side.Due to the two men having different faults, I hired them both, so they could complement each other. What the first one didn’t have, the second could make up for it.But I had to agree that both of them were good at picking drinks. I had told them I needed something really strong, and they provided just what I needed.I needed to think hard on my next move. Emily seemed to be completely drawn to Lucas. She was fine with me not talking to her, fine with us not crossing paths, even when she didn’t see me for a whole day, I
