All Chapters of My Mate Is Another Woman's Fate: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

KonstantinAfter briefly filling Margarita in on yesterday’s visit from the lawyers, I leaned back in my chair and rubbed the bridge of my nose wearily. Since yesterday, it feels like someone’s dropped a ton of problems on me—pressing down with unbearable weight.In some ways, Margarita has always been like a mother to me. I listen to her advice. She’s one of the few people who helped me reach the heights I stand on today. Sometimes, simple support and faith in a person—especially a wild teenager—can work miracles and shape their future. She never imposed her opinions on me; she only helped guide my energy in the right direction.“Yeah…” she sighed. “I never trusted Alexey either. But look, you still have almost two months left. It could’ve been worse—you might never have learned about your father’s condition at all. You have to get married, that’s true, but don’t rush into choosing.”“How am I not supposed to rush?” I snapped, frustration bubbling inside me. “It’s not like I’ve got a

DanaHis scent is everywhere here.I’m standing by the door of Konstantin’s office, holding it open for the workers who are bringing in new equipment. Margarita and I carefully watch to make sure everything is placed exactly where it should be.While they work, I finally get a chance to take a better look around his office. There’s a lot of wood and metal — elegant, masculine, and perfectly balanced. The huge window is the centerpiece of the whole design, like the final touch that ties everything together.On the walls, I notice miniature copies of some kind of technical drawings — blueprints, maybe? I can’t tell whether they’re parts or mechanisms, but they look fascinating. Each one bears the same signature: “Molotovsky Konstantin.”“These are all our boss’s most successful projects,” I hear Margarita’s warm voice beside me. She steps closer, her eyes shining with pride as she looks at the drawings with me. “He’s incredibly talented — I wouldn’t hesitate to call him a genius in his

Through my sleep, I hear someone persistently pounding on the door.It’s my day off — who could possibly need me now? And not many people even know where I’ve settled.I get up to open it. There’s only one person it could be."Well, good morning! How long are you planning to sleep? It’s already ten a.m.! You know, I could’ve used my own key, but I still respect your privacy," Elly bursts out the moment the door opens and marches straight into my apartment."Morning to you too," I mumble. "It’s my day off, I can afford to sleep in," I try to force a sleepy smile. I’ll never understand people who can actually smile in the morning."Oh, listen to you! And where are my promised…" she turns around mid-sentence, notices the state of the hallway, and freezes."а small mishap, huh?... Oh my God, Dana, what happened here? This doesn’t look like a “minor accident” at all!", she stares at me, wide-eyed, clearly alarmed.I look at her — and suddenly, tears well up. Maybe it’s stupid, but I’ve bee

The following week passed relatively calmly, thanks to the miraculous medication that Arthur finally agreed to give me — though not before a long lecture about possible side effects and the risk of dependency. Even the full moon, which happened to fall right in the middle of the workweek, went by quietly and without incident.Only… while I managed to keep my wolf instincts under control, dealing with my human half was still a challenge. I like Konstantin — no, scratch that — I’m completely, hopelessly in love with him. This wild attraction, this magnetic pull toward him, can’t be suppressed by any pill or potion. His eyes, his voice, his scent, his body — everything about him drives me insane… just like his fiancée does.Jealousy. Intense, burning, suffocating — vile, like a venomous snake coiling inside me. I never thought I could be this jealous! I’ve never felt anything like it before. When I see Nicole next to him, I can’t help but imagine what kind of death would suit her best. S

I didn’t really dress up much for the upcoming get-together. I put on a light blue dress that fell just below my knees, paired it with white sneakers, left my hair down, added a touch of mascara and a bit of lip gloss — done. Ready to go.I hear my phone ring — the driver’s arrived. Grabbing the little gift for Nicholas and his parents, I head out.We reach Elizabeth and Robert Vesnitsky’s residence fairly quickly. Ahead of me stands a beautiful two-story house with a spacious, elegant veranda. A neatly kept lawn stretches around it, and in the back, there’s a lovely garden with a pool. There’s even a playground and a treehouse for Nicholas. Beyond the property lies a wide stretch of forest — perfect for grown werewolves to let their second selves roam free. The place feels almost magical.No one’s outside yet — looks like I’m the first to arrive. Then I see little Niko running toward me, with Elly chasing after him.“Aunt Dana! Aunt Dana’s here!” Nicholas shouts, barreling straight i
