All Chapters of After My Husband's Affair, I Met My True Love Alpha: Chapter 271 - Chapter 280

Seraphina's POVI stood my ground, calm and collected. No anger, no panic - just steady focus. I looked straight at her and said clearly, "Everything you said is wrong." My voice echoed in the sudden hush of the room.I didn't wait before continuing, "Let me ask you something - since when did being beautiful become a crime? Does a woman's beauty automatically mean she's out to seduce men? That sounds like some serious bias you've got there, Madam Tarot."I kept going, my tone steady. "Manipulative? I'm just a secretary. You mean I manipulate coffee machines and printers?""And lying?" I raised a brow. "I exchanged a few words with someone - that's lying now? Mind telling everyone exactly what I lied about? Because tossing around dramatic words like that only makes your little performance look cheap." I turned slightly, sweeping my eyes across the stunned, masked faces in the room."And Mrs. Thornton here hyped you up as if you're some kind of puppe

Seraphina's POVAs those people passed by one of the doors ahead, I suddenly reached out and turned the brass knob - it clicked open. Not locked? Seriously?I grabbed Victoria's wrist and yanked her inside without hesitation. Eva and Margaret were right behind us.But the woman we were trying to protect? She just stood there at the door looking torn. I didn't have the patience for this. I was ready to slam the door shut. I mean, I wasn't obligated to save someone who still clearly doubted me."Wait!"At the last second, she rushed in.I locked the door right away. Victoria and Eva didn't need any cues - they were totally in sync. Together, they shoved a heavy armchair across the floor until it was wedged tightly against the door.Chaos broke out outside immediately. There was banging, people asking if we were okay, and even someone barking orders to unlock the damn door.The woman we were protecting stood frozen, her expression

Third Person's POVWaiting had turned into a torturous crawl. Seraphina, Eva, and Victoria crouched behind the thick wall of flowers, anxiety dragging out every second. They were waiting for Mason.At first, they thought Mason's "taking Alpha's call first" meant Sebastian had seen Seraphina's SOS and was sending help straight away. Maybe even a call from Sebastian himself was on the way.But nope - reality hit cold and hard. Over thirty minutes slipped by. Mason didn't show. No call, no reply from Sebastian either.Seraphina finally had enough and dialed Sebastian's personal number.The only response was the flat, annoying "line busy" tone. She ended the call immediately.Victoria and Eva didn't say anything. The stillness between them felt heavy, almost suffocating.Time ticked on. No rescue in sight. Strangely, their pursuers seemed to have backed off too.But their legs were aching from squatting, and the chilly night air wa

Sebastian's POVPenthouse suite.Seraphina was already there. Her suitcase sat neatly by her side.I stepped inside."Hey, little guy." Seraphina crouched down, her whole vibe softened. A real smile lit up her face as she scratched the kitten's chin. Her voice was gentle, warm - even cozy. It was a tone I hadn't heard from her all morning.She was playing with a little feather toy, quietly laughing. Cookie jumped and rolled around, full of energy. But the second she saw me, the laughter died.Our eyes met.All that warmth vanished. That calm wall of hers dropped into place - perfect, professional, untouchable.I moved closer and scooped up the kitten. Cookie was warm in my arms, purring softly. I looked at her, trying to ease the sharpness in my stare, to take the edge off the Alpha instinct buried in my voice."We need to talk," I said. "In the study.""Alpha." That flawless, polite smile surfaced again. "The fli

Seraphina's POVHe didn't move. Just turned a bit, resting one arm on the small tray table in front of me, the other gripping the back of the chair I'd just left - blocking me in, right under his shadow. His gaze was darker now, shadowed with that stubborn, unshakable Alpha look. He stared at me for a few seconds."Alright," he said at last, sounding like he was giving in a little. "You don't want to talk, fine. But I need to say something. Just listen, okay?""Alpha," I shot back, loading my tone with extra impatience, "I'm kind of in a rush. Nature calls, you know how it is."The next second, his hand wrapped around mine. Big, warm, steady - and not letting go anytime soon. He stood too. "I'll go with you." Calm, but that Alpha firmness was all over it."That's not necessary." I yanked my hand, voice cooling fast. "Pretty sure there's no life-threatening situation waiting for me in the bathroom."He tightened his grip. Didn't let me go. Hi
