Cora’s POVTo be able to stand outside of the huge mansion in front of me is enough to shake the confidence that I build for years, how could I ever try to step foot inside? I could feel my whole body go cold as the door opened by a maid, she bit shocked to see that Zafer is not alone.“Young Alpha, you are here again. Your parents are waiting in the garden, they are in a hurry to meet them.” She smiles at us, but there is something in her eyes like she questions my existence or maybe… I am thinking too much.“Let’s go inside, come here to my arm, kid.” He carries Clyde on his left while holding tightly my hand in his free hand, such a gentle way to make me feel that he’s with us.Walking in the long wide hallway of their mansion, I can tell how far our life is from each other. As if he’s an aristocrat while I’m just a peasant, from the start I knew how odd this relationship will be…“Woah, look at that the stairs mom, it’s too high and there are gorgeous lights in the ceiling! Can we

Cora’s POVPeople in the surrounding started to whisper to each other, but nothing is more important to me than Clyde who keep crying. “Ashton, stop this nonsense, you know more than anyone here right now that it’s impossible! Don’t put stress to my son, we are okay without you!”“But I’m not! Why can’t you understand that it’s not my will to leave you that time? I love you, I love you that I feel like I’m going to die right now. Seeing you with someone else, my son calling another man his papa, and here I am can’t do anything but plead to you.” His eyes start to wet.I can feel how sincere and truthful his words, I feel pity for him but that the only thing and nothing more. There are not feelings for him now, so even he pleading a million times, we can’t go back to where we use to be.“Okay, I understand what you mean that it’s against your will about leaving the country and me that time, but years have been past. Even your parents don’t want me to be your partner, isn’t it too much

Ashton’s POVWhy? Why she has to choose him over me?I kept asking myself various questions, which I almost couldn't answer. Because even, I don't know what else I should do to make her choose me again and come back to my side. Do I still have to do or do I even have to do anything?I could see in her eyes how serious she was about her decision, that anyone could understand that the fight was over. I'm already defeated, even if I haven't started yet.Damn! I want to shout, let the thing in my chest burst out. In the first place, it’s not my fault so how could she ignore it? I didn’t mean to leave her, I can’t do anything…Or, can I do something but ignore it?“Young Alpha, where did you go?” The servant immediately asks as I set feet inside the main house, “Your father is looking for you.”Father here, father there. I was like a three years old kid who can’t do anything without my father’s command. I gritted my teeth out of frustration, why do I have to be born in the main family and

Tally’s POVI don’t know how many times I brush my teeth, and I feel my lips and gum feel so numb yet I can still taste how bitter that thing is. Tears fell down on my cheeks, it’s not what I want either. Yet, there is nothing I can do but act like everything is fine.My parents promise me to have freedom to do what I want, they are both trying… But my grandfather doesn’t let that happiness last for too long. After the problem arise at the company, the only way he can think is to send me off to that family.And refusing is not even part of my choice, knowing that he will use my parent to pursue and make me agree to his plan. Everything is fine, not until I realized which family and whose Alpha, he wants me to marry.Why of all Alpha, it’s Ashton?It’s been weeks since I stop to meet Cora, the guilt inside of my chest can’t take it at all. To see her smiling at me without knowing that I will get married to the man who left her alone.What will she think about it, will it be all right i

Tally’s POVAs how it should be done, the people from the branch family did not take long to stay at the main house. The thought I can go back to my room stop by the sudden announcement of the servant that my family arrives already.I feel like my butt is already starting to burn from sitting, now that my family is here, I’m sure that it will take longer than earlier.I know my parent, they will say whatever in their mind. But that is not the problem, it’s my grandfather who would not let someone rule over him. Changing the date of our marriage without prior notice surely irritates him.As I said, my family is not perfect at all. However, I’m excited to see them talking in professional mode even though they are both impatient to get what their want in this agreement.“Looks like your grandfather is impatient like me, what should I do to handle it?” Aston’s father looks at me with a smirk plastered on his face.“Oh, Alpha… My grandfather is a nice person, you don’t have to think about
