Once Gone, Gone for Good のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

After dating him for five years, my boyfriend, Jayden Porter, sends me 10 dollars. He asks me to buy our future matrimonial home with that money.That same day, he transfers 3 million dollars to his dream girl, Lina Doux, to buy her a grand detached villa in Centralis.I decided to break up with him out of frustration, but he accuses me of being greedy for money."Your house is still livable, so why buy another one? When did you become such a gold digger?""Lina and I are childhood friends, so what's wrong with me giving her money? "On the other hand, you're scheming to get your hands on my wealth despite us not being married yet. I'm so disappointed in you!"He turns around and proposes to Lina.Six years later, we encounter each other again in the werewolf kingdom based in Centralis—the Darkmoon Kingdom.He's about to become Centralis' Beta. Lina is by his side, wearing a haute couture dress.When he sees me covered in mud and rummaging through trash, he mocks me with disgust, "You

Unable to listen to Lina anymore, I bellowed, "Please watch your words, Lina! I didn't ask him for money to buy a house!"Lina instantly shrank back as if frightened. "Let's just forget it, Jayden. Look. Her temper is still the same as always. It's no use helping her, so let's leave her alone already."I said thoughtfully, "There's no need for you two to worry about my affairs."However, Jayden was unwilling to let the matter rest. He grabbed my arm again and gripped it hard."Stop acting pitiful, Emily. You looked down on the 10 dollars I transferred to you all those years ago, but you'd hardly find as much in a trash can, right? "And now, you're refusing the money I'm offering you. Do you think your dignity is going to fill your belly?"I stared speechlessly at him. After all these years, did he still think I broke up with him because of those $10?Back then, Lina left to study abroad without even a farewell. She broke up with him so suddenly that he found it difficult to acc

"I—"Just as I was about to deny Jayden's accusation, he cut me off again. "Lina and I are going to have our bonding ceremony soon, so it's impossible for me and you to be together."I felt incredibly exasperated. No matter how much I tried to explain, he refused to believe me. I tried to leave, but Lina reached out to stop me."Where did a beggar like you get such a precious diamond ring? You didn't steal it, did you?" she asked fiercely.I rolled my eyes at her and, working hard to suppress my anger, replied as calmly as possible, "This diamond ring belongs to me."Lina chuckled and said sarcastically, "Oh, please. This diamond ring is worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Where did you get the money to buy it? Are you trying to pull our legs?"The waitress walked up to take a look at the diamond ring, then asked me angrily, "Hurry up and tell us. Where did you steal it from?"I took a deep breath, my expression stormy. "I didn't steal it. This is my diamond ring. I can show

Everyone in the banquet hall was so frightened they didn't dare make a sound. Some people were already trembling.Caspian pointed at the bodyguards he'd kicked to the floor, who still hadn't dared crawl to their feet, and asked, "Why did you apprehend my mate? Answer me!"One of the bodyguards answered honestly in a trembling voice.Upon learning the truth, the temperature around Caspian seemed to plummet, and he looked at me in exasperation. "If you lost the ring, just have the bodyguards look for it. You just had to look for it yourself and get yourself into this sorry state."Also, as long as you revealed your identity, there'd naturally be people willing to serve you. Are you that unwilling to use your authority?"He scanned the crowd with his sharp gaze, his voice instantly taking on an intimidating tone. "Or did everyone present ignore your identity and bully you to challenge my authority?"As the words left his mouth, the stifling pressure around him seemed to increase e

Everyone in the banquet hall watched Jayden and Lina arguing with each other with great amusement.I frowned, feeling my head hurt. "Let's go, dear!"Caspian narrowed his eyes at me. He arched an eyebrow and asked, "Aren't you going to keep watching the show?"I deliberately rolled my eyes at him and shrugged. "It has nothing to do with me, so why would I watch?"I then turned and left with Cassidy in my arms."Your negligence caused your fiancee to bully the Luna Queen, Jayden, so you can forget about succeeding the Beta position," Caspian announced loudly before striding after me.Everyone was once again shocked. Jayden was originally set to become the next Beta, but now that he'd offended Caspian, he had lost the Beta position as well.In the future, he would just be an ordinary civilian. There was no longer any need for them to fawn over him either. As such, the crowd dispersed.Shortly after Caspian and I got into our car, Jayden caught up to us and stood in the way of our
