Lahat ng Kabanata ng Dear Ex Mate, Look At Me Now, I Now Belong To Your Alpha : Kabanata 51 - Kabanata 60

Raina's point of view I could tell, there was something Mr Lee was hiding deep in his mind.Rather than jump to conclusions, it was better to just ask."Why are you asking?" I said, watching him closely.He slipped both hands into his pockets, his expression unreadable."Nothing. I was just curious," he replied casually."Mm hmm," I hummed, not buying it for a second.I knew he was hiding something. What I didn’t know was why it was so hard for him to admit it.He opened his mouth like he was about to say something, "So—"But I cut him off before he could continue."The truth is… you looked jealous."There was no point sugarcoating it.It was better to just say it straight to his face.He blinked in confusion. “Why are you thinking that way?”This time, he stood still, arms folded tightly across his chest, his eyes locked on mine like he was searching for something, some truth behind my words.I gave his shoulder a light nudge, a teasing smile playing on my lips. “Never mind. I alrea

Sitting on the stool in front of the mirror, a million thoughts crashed into my mind.What if someone recognized me as Raina—the very same woman who had been sentenced to death only months ago?This event would almost certainly be televised. Levi and the others would see me. And what about Barclay? What would happen when he realized I was still alive?If Commander Leonardo’s warning was true, Barclay would come after me without hesitation. But if it wasn’t… maybe I’d be safe, unless Levi decided to hunt me down himself.Yes, I was in Dorian’s palace, and for now my safety was guaranteed. Still, that didn’t mean he couldn’t be quietly plotting something behind my back.Was this event really necessary?Couldn’t Alpha Dorian handle it quietly, so that only a handful of people would ever know?Why parade me in front of the world like some spectacle, since he'd once said that I had a lot of enemies?“Ma’am, please turn the other side of your face so I can apply the makeup,” the artist said

Luke's point of view Of course, she’d been sentenced to death—hanged until her lifeless body swung like a warning to the world. I saw it. I have the damn video burned into my phone, into my memory. So why… why is she on my TV screen right now? Why is she the one Alpha Dorian is standing beside, hand in hand, announcing to the world as his fiancée? Where the hell has she been hiding all these months, when not a whisper, not a single grain of rumor suggested she was even alive? There’s only one explanation, and it’s as cold as it is gut-wrenching. She wasn’t executed. Not like I thought. Not at all. Alpha Dorian must have hidden her. Protected her. The moment that realization slammed into me, my stomach twisted into painful knots. My head filled with a thousand jagged thoughts, each one cutting deeper than the last. What happens when she learns the truth? When she finds out it was me who planted the accusation…That lead to her being sentenced and also tarnished her image? Wait

Narrator's point of view “How did you manage to deny him access to the trust fund?” Raina asked, her eyes locked on Alpha Dorian.“Well, when I discovered the truth about everything, I decided to stop Luke, knowing he was after the trust fund,” he explained.To Raina, that didn’t really answer her question. She was still curious about exactly how he’d done it.“Go on,” she pressed. “How did you stop him?”“I asked him to provide the trust deed,” he said, a faint smile tugging at his lips."Of course, I knew he wouldn’t succeed in getting it, but I chose to handle it that way,” he added.“The trust deed?” she repeated, confused.“Yeah,” he nodded.“Was there supposed to be a trust deed?” she asked again.“Yes. That’s what he was supposed to present before gaining access to the trust fund,” he explained.She froze, her mind spinning with a rush of questions, each one heavier than the last.What if Luke had managed to get the paper containing the trust deed? What if he had… forged it?T

Narrator's point of view Alpha Dorian couldn’t help but imagine the taste of Raina’s lips.Their faces inched closer, breaths mingling, until they were just a heartbeat away from kissing—A deliberate throat-clearing cut through the moment.“Hm-hm…”Raina flinched back first, the spell breaking, while Dorian turned to see his beta standing a few steps behind them.The silence thickened like fog until Dorian finally spoke.“Why are you here?”“Uh… just wanted to ask if you were still planning to take pictures,” the beta replied, a little too casually.Pictures? That’s what had ruined the moment?“Haven’t we taken enough already?” Dorian asked, irritation slipping into his tone.“There’s no harm in taking more,” Raina chimed in quickly.But deep down, she just wanted to leave anything to escape the unsettling thought of Alpha Dorian almost kissing her.“But we’ve taken plenty already,” he insisted.There was so much he had been holding back from Raina, truths and feelings, just waiting
