All Chapters of Rejected And Betrayed: Chasing My Luna Back.: Chapter 221 - Chapter 230

Mimi didn’t bother answering her question. She just watched her pick up a call, voice sharp and hurried, before she left the room in a rush. The silence pressed in, and Mimi’s thoughts scattered until she found herself at the hospital, sitting stiffly by her son’s bedside, her heart pounding with every beep of the monitor.The doctor’s words still echoed in her ears, “He’s slowly improving in his health.”Relief washed through her chest, her lips breaking into a faint smile. She reached for his small hand, her fingers trembling as they wrapped around his. Lowering her head, she pressed a soft kiss on his knuckles, whispering against his skin like a prayer she was afraid to say out loud. “I love you, darling,” she whispered, careful not to disturb his sleep. Her voice barely brushed the quiet, softer than the hum of the machines around him.Her gaze lingered on his face, and her chest tightened. Every curve, every line—it was Solomon staring back at her. The same jaw, the same lashes,

EVEYLN“Isn’t that Mimi’s baby?” John’s voice cut through the hallway, low but sharp.I followed his gaze and froze. Down the corridor, two nurses hurried past with a small boy on a stretcher. My stomach dropped. His tiny chest rose and fell in quick, shallow breaths, and the soft beep of a monitor followed as they wheeled him toward another room.My legs moved before I could think. I darted after them, heart hammering, breath burning my throat. “Wait, what’s happening?” I called, but the door slammed shut before the words could even reach them.John jogged up beside me, his sneakers squeaking against the polished floor. “What could’ve happened?” he asked, eyes wide and searching my face for an answer.“I...I don’t know,” I whispered, shaking my head as fear clawed at my chest. My pulse thudded so loud it drowned out every other sound. But all I could do was pray. Please let him be fine. Nothing can happen to that child, not after everything he’s been through. My chest tightened as t

EVEYLNI couldn’t hold myself together anymore. My fingers shot out before I could think, snatching the car keys from John’s hand. His startled gasp barely registered as I spun on my heel and stormed down the hallway, shoes slamming against the cold hospital floor with sharp, echoing thuds. The fluorescent lights overhead blurred past in streaks of white, every step driving the anger tighter into my chest.“Evelyn, wait...damn it, you can’t get answers like this if you keep acting crazy!” John’s voice chased me, ragged and rising.I didn’t slow. Didn’t even glance back. The automatic doors hissed open and a gust of night air slapped my face, cool against the heat burning under my skin. My grip on the keys tightened until my knuckles ached.“Evelyn! For God’s sake, stop!”The car gleamed under the dim parking lot lights, my only focus. I yanked the door open, heart pounding like a war drum, and slid behind the wheel. The leather seat hugged me in a cold, breathless silence.John’s foot

EVEYLNI watched him drag a hand from his hair down to his face, a rough sigh tearing out of him. He paced in short, sharp strides, shoes thudding against the floor before stopping dead in front of his desk, shoulders tight.Simone’s eyes cut to me like a blade. He jabbed a finger in my direction, jaw clenched.“You know how lucky you are to walk in here without reporters on your heels? Do you even realize I had to pay their company to keep them off this building?”I shifted my weight, throat dry. The office smelled faintly of coffee and paper, but the air felt heavy. I hadn’t even checked on Harry this morning, barely had time to breathe after yesterday’s storm of calls from suppliers, assistants, employees, shareholders, investors, everyone demanding an explanation for that cursed video. I’d lied through my teeth, insisting it was fake. The truth was messier: the footage was real, but the caption twisted everything. Explaining that would be a war I couldn’t win.Simone leaned across

EVEYLN“You’re going too far with the way you’re carrying things, Alpha Giovanni. I think you should slow down and let’s talk this out,” Simone said, his voice steady but sharp as he leaned forward on the table, fingers drumming a slow warning.The calm in his tone only grated on me more. How could he sound so collected when this bastard had just threatened us? My jaw tightened, nails biting into my palm as I caught Alpha Giovanni’s eyes locking on mine instead of Simone’s words.Of course. He wanted me to know exactly who held the reins here. My stomach knotted, heat pricking the back of my neck. I rolled my eyes and shifted my weight, refusing to give him the satisfaction of a flinch. Jeez, this man lived to prove a point. I’d do everything to get Simone out of the Nightshade Pack without a single stain on his name or prestige, because the Giovanni I knew now was more than capable of destroying both if it suited him.“You’re awfully quiet, Ms…” Alpha Giovanni tilted his head, his e
