Carmen's POV

"You bitch!" Chloe's shrill scream cut through the courtyard like a blade, her entire body trembling with rage as she lunged toward her maid.

The maid collapsed to her knees instantly, shaking so violently it looked as though her bones would snap under the pressure.

“I… I didn't know! Miss Chloe, I swear…” A sharp slap echoed. The slap was so hot that when it connected with the maid's face, a red mark appeared immediately.

The force of the slap pushed the maid to the floor, her lip

  • The Barren Luna’s Revenge; Dear Ex, Your Only Heir Is Mine   Chapter 35

    Carmen’s PovThe bidding war escalated rapidly. Numbers flashed across the golden screen so quickly that several people in the audience had already given up trying to compete.“Eight hundred million,” the sound of a person’s voice pulled me to reality. Whatever was happening, whatever craziness was put on display, this was a first for me.A billion!Cayden dropped a large freaking bomb that almost made me go crazy. The entire hall erupted in murmurs at the sound of that price.Even the auctioneer had a wide grin on her face like she had struck it rich. I, on the other hand, felt like strangling Cayden.My sleeves were gripped so tight that they ripped apart, I simply could not take this anymore, I had to do something.I desperately kicked his feet beneath the table, trying to stop him from making another bid. Cayden just stared at me with such an innocent look on his face and actually continued to raise his hands up.“Cayden, this is not funny anymore. Put your hand down.” I whispered

  • The Barren Luna’s Revenge; Dear Ex, Your Only Heir Is Mine   Chapter 34

    Carmen's POVThe lights inside the auction hall dimmed slightly as the auctioneer stepped onto the central stage.She was a beautiful woman dressed in a fitted black suit, her sharp voice echoing clearly throughout the massive hall.“Good evening, distinguished guests,” she greeted smoothly, smiling toward the audience. “Tonight's auction features some of the most varied territories currently available in the northern and eastern regions.” Polite applause followed. I leaned back slightly in my seat while the giant golden screens behind her lit up one after another.The first land introduced was an agricultural zone. It had a minimal population of humans who were mostly old and sickly.While definitely a good investment to make, it had very obvious consequences, the people in the zone were all old people who could never agree to leave their land. Buy the land and get a lifetime of problems to deal with.Clearly, everyone saw the same issue with the land, but only Silas had to be the o

    Carmen's POVCayden and I arrived at the land hall in silence. Each with their thoughts.Despite my perpetual lateness, we made it before the official bidding began.The moment we stepped inside, I understood why the place was able to gather even the most prominent of human politics, the very cream of the crop. Rows and rows of elevated seating circled the center stage where the bidding platform stood. Massive golden screens displayed the details of each property while servants moved elegantly between tables, carrying wine and the bidding board.Bouncers and huge hefty men stood in front of the VIP session. Cayden and I walked to the session, our invitation card in our hands.There was not much difference between the VIP hall and the regular hall, except for the presence of a screen that could guarantee your privacy if you wished, but most actually do not use it.Humans were creatures of flattery and fame, after all, how could they pass up a good chance to be flattered by their peers

  • The Barren Luna’s Revenge; Dear Ex, Your Only Heir Is Mine   Chapter 32

    Carmen's POVI woke up feeling completely refreshed. For a few seconds, I simply stared blankly at the ceiling, trying to understand why my body felt so strangely light.Then realization came to me as I saw my phone in my hand. That's right.The last place I was last night, I was hiding from Chloe.I was curled up in the bathroom, desperately spilling toilet cleansers everywhere to conceal my scent. At that point, I was super grateful I didn't have as much scent as a normal werewolf.The experience still felt horrifying, Chloe's footsteps inching closer to my location with each heartbeat. Thankfully, Silas decided to come back with his girl at the right time. He had never done anything right except for that one thing.A humorless laugh escaped my mouth as I remembered how Chloe stood dumbstruck as Silas peddled the lady to his room. At that point, I guessed Chloe realized that she was not as important as she thought to Silas. The realization was not so good because she ended up ripp

  • The Barren Luna’s Revenge; Dear Ex, Your Only Heir Is Mine   Chapter 31

    Carmen's povIt was evening by the time I crossed back from the veil. I had nowhere specific to go so I decided to return to the estate.Night had settled in fully by the time I returned to the estate. The palace however was strangely quiet.Too quiet.As I walked through the grand hallway, I immediately noticed an unusual phenomenon.Silas who left in the early hours of the evening was nowhere to be seen. Not the bedroom, his office, the lounge, or anywhere.Well, I had to say I did expect something like that but not so fast.I teased Chloe and the teasing was already coming to pass, Silas had already gone to look for a replacement for her.Another foolish tramp eager to climb into his bed for status and power. The thought disgusted me, not because I had any more feelings for him but because it also confirmed that Silas never truly loved Chloe.He never did but he killed me for her in my past, that was how worthless I was to him.As my thoughts went to Chloe, I recalled that she had

    Carmen's povI stepped out of the hall amidst all the cheering and happiness. The moment I stepped out of the hall, my communicator rang violently.Silas.I stared at the glowing screen for a second before answering.The call connected and then came the furious shouts. “What happened over there? How come, Cayden is out there being called the Alpha, what did you do? You crazy woman.”“Silas,” I immediately softened my voice and my expression even though he could not see me. “Nothing happened,” I said quietly. “I just went to…to the museum, I saw a painting of our baby, our baby Silas, he was there. He wants me to come stay with him, I think I want to stay here to look after our baby.”Silence!The line went dead for almost a minute leading me to suspect Silas may have hung up on me.“You foolish woman,” Silas exploded. I pulled the communicator away from my ear lest my eardrums risked getting damaged. “Do you even have a brain? You went there with a mission but you… you know what?
