บททั้งหมดของ Mated In Chaos : บทที่ 71 - บทที่ 80

Overwhelmed by what I had uncovered, the library was the last place I could bear to be. Instead, I found myself behind the wheel, driving straight to Zuriel's office building, my heart hammering in my chest. Reaching the reception desk, I ignore the receptionist's confused look and go straight to my husband's office. I wipe tears from my face and force a smile at his secretary. The middle-aged woman, clearly taken aback, stammers that Zuriel is in a meeting. "Please, call him. I need to see him," I implore the secretary. She hesitates, her gaze fixed on the office phone. I'm not sure why I'm so insistent, but the tension in the air is palpable. Without waiting for her response, I stride past her and into Zuriel's office, the woman trailing behind me. I push the door to his office open and walk in. Zuriel is in his chair as four men and two women address him. He lifts his head to me. He is surprised but doesn't look vexed that I have interrupted. The young man who was presenting w

" Y- you ended the call abruptly earlier. I just wanted to check if you are alright," he whispers. My heart feels warm after he says that. He missed me but wouldn't admit it. " You could have just called, honey. No need to come all the way here," I tell him gently. I'm smiling like an idiot, staring at him. He avoids my gaze and clears his throat, " Also, you didn't bring anything to change. That would be uncomfortable," he says. I suddenly wrap my arms around him, and he stiffens. " I was dreading to sleep without you, too," I say. There is a knock on the door, and I pull away from him. Halsey walks in, looking confident. " Strawberry Sorbet is ready," she says, and I nod. We follow her downstairs and go to a different salon this time. It's open and has vines of flowers on the walls. It looks so magical. I sit next to my husband, and Halsey sits opposite us. " How have you been, mother," Zuriel asks. His mother rolls her pretty eyes and puts a strand of hair behind her ear

I stare at Zuriel as he drives. A smirk played on my lips. I don't know what he is thinking about what I told him, but I can't help but anticipate his reaction once he carries out his investigation and confirms that River lied. He would feel bad for making me a villain. I can't wait. We arrived at the manor in ten minutes. Two servants rushed toward us, bowing. "Where's Halsey?" I inquire. " In the back garden, my lady," the servant responds. Zuriel continues walking, and I hasten to keep up. Is he feeling nervous about reuniting with his sister after so long? I'm tempted to ask, but I hold my tongue and follow in silence, the two servants trailing behind us. I'm a little out of breath when we reach the back garden. It is an ample open space away from the central beautiful gardens. Halsey is standing anxiously, her eyes in the clouds. She turns her head to us, and a smile curls on her lips as her eyes land on me. " Elara, I didn't know you were coming," she says, kissing my chee

Zuriel. " What are you doing here, Eloise? I ended an important meeting because of you," My sister scowls and goes to my liquor cabinet and fishes out a strong drink, pouring in two glasses and giving me one. " I came to see your office building. Is this where you make cars?" she asks, taking another sip of her whiskey. " No, this is the office- Eloise, what are you doing here?" I ask again. She sits before my desk, crosses her legs, and faces me. She has that stern sister look, " Why don't you want a child, Zuzu?" " Don't fucking call me that!" I hiss, hitting my table with my palm. She does enjoy to aggravate me by calling me that. " Tell me why," "Because I made a vow, and it's broken. I didn't want to continue father's bloodline," " It's your bloodline, Zuriel, not his, and the man is dead, for fuck sake," she growls. I glare at her, wanting to end this talk already. " I heard about River; you were quite upset when she lost ' your supposed child.' Then why are you s

Zuriel Anger: I'd never felt as much rage against someone as I did for River. My wolf takes over when I see her hitting my mate. Elara is on the floor, covered in blood. I can't hear anything past my growls. I pin the man who worked in my home for years to the ground with my leg while I grab River by the neck and throw her across the wall. I lift the security guard and squeeze his throat; he is shaking in fear, whimpering as he knows his end is near. River attempts to run away but is struck down by Eloise before she can get far. I glare at the security guard with fury, and before he can utter a word, I hit him until he is bleeding. I leave his unconscious body on the floor and approach River. She is backing away from me, sobbing, tears streaming down her face, and I can hear the blood rushing through my veins. " Z- z, she took you from me," " Didn't I warn you not to come close to my mate?" I growl, my body shaking. " Zuriel, you need to take her to the hospital; I'll deal wi
