Adrian's POVAs soon as Natalia admitted that she had drugged me that night, I was taken aback. I fixed my gaze on her deep blue eyes.I saw flashes of fur inside them, which took me off guard. A frown formed on my face. Wasn't it supposed to be me who should feel anger in my heart? This woman played me and moved on in her life without even thinking about how I would repair my life, which she had ruined many years ago."Happy? You know the truth now," she said while laughing like a mad woman.She folded her hands in front of me and said, "Now let me live my own life. If I destroyed your life by marrying you, please forgive me. If I am a sinner, then marrying you in the past is the deadly sin of my life. I know you hate me for that marriage, and believe me, I am regretting meeting you in my life every single day."I was shocked when I caught a glimpse of tears in the corner of her eyes. She was trying her best to keep them from falling, and she was able to do it perfectly. I could not

I could not sleep the whole night as the past began to replay in my mind.After that night, when I woke up the next morning, I found a stranger lying next to me naked under the blanket.I was not shocked at all. I thought it was just another girl in the club who wanted to earn money by selling her body.But what surprised me was that I could not recall anything. I was not even sure if I had slept with her. But there were many purple marks on her bare back, indicating that I had slept with her."Are you okay?"I heard Patric's voice, which brought me back to reality from my thoughts of the past. I had no idea when he entered my office room.I was sitting on the couch while holding the cigarette between my two fingers. When I glanced at the cigarette, I found it half-burned. I was so preoccupied by the old memories that I forgot about it."Hmm," I replied.Patric walked over the couches and took the opposite seat. He looked at me."They are on their way to the company."As I heard him,

She began to cry while holding the doorknob. She took out her phone and dialed someone, but after speaking with the person on the other end of the line, her face turned pale.She threw her phone away and wiped her tears. My eyes were not moving from her broken look. Something moved inside me as I struggled to maintain control of myself.At that time, a few men approached her. She took a step back as they stood next to the room. One of them opened the door and directed her to enter. From inside, a man in his fifties came out and stood at the door.I could hear gasps from beside me.Natalia joined her hands to the old man as if she did not want to go into the room.Standing outside the room, one of the men grabbed her by the neck and forced her to gulp down a bottle of wine. She pushed him and began to cough after taking a few gulps.Those men began to laugh while looking at her. The old man said something to the men after scanning Natalia from head to toe, then went inside the room, l

I left the company and got into my car. I was not surprised to see that my car was waiting for me outside. I believed Patric was the one who called my driver to take out my car."Alpha, where to?" My driver asked.I could not reply. Where would I go? In Natalia's house? Was she there?With a rough heartbeat, I dialed a number while trying to calm myself.The call connected, and a man's voice reached my ear."Alpha.""Where is she right now?" I asked while looking outside the window."Alpha, as you ordered us, we always kept an eye on her. She is in the Moon Lovers coffee shop right now.""Moon Lovers coffee shop?""Yeah. That is the place where she is currently working."Why was she working in a coffee shop? Didn't I give her my cards to use?"Send my driver the address," I said and cut the call.In a few seconds, my driver got the address and started the car to head to that coffee shop.In the meantime, I checked my phone to see the balance of the cards that I had sent her through De

Third POVNatalia immediately yanked her hand away the moment Adrian was about to pull her along with him toward the door to leave the shop."What's wrong with you?" she asked with a pair of frowning eyes.Adrian looked at his hand, which was in the air, when she snatched her hand out of his grip.She could not help but try to observe him.What was he doing here?"Natalia, I need to talk to you right now," Adrian said, gritting his teeth.He was not angry at her but at himself. He could not just handle himself at that moment. All he wanted to do was tell her about him learning the truth."Why you–"Natalia wanted to yell at him but then paused. She glanced around and realized that everyone was staring at her. She gave them an apologetic smile."Guys, please enjoy your coffee."Adrian stared at Natalia, who was smiling at others but only giving him the cold shoulder.A young boy stood up and made his way towards them."Mr..."After pausing for a moment to examine Adrian from head to to
