Semua Bab After My Husband's Affair, I Met My True Love Alpha: Bab 31 - Bab 40

Seraphina's POVBy the time we got back to the suite, Cassandra had already switched gears-back to her no-nonsense alpha businesswoman self.The teary drunk mess from last night? Vanished without a trace."I'll remember your 'help' from last night," she said coolly, her tone sharp as frost in mid-December. Then she turned and walked off in those killer Christian Louboutin heels, the click-clack echoing off the marble floor like a dramatic mic drop.God, the drama in high society is unreal.I rubbed my temples, hoping-praying-that today wouldn't be another disaster.Spoiler: it totally was.The regional office visit was a master class in corporate torture.It felt like a never-ending corporate marathon all day long.Cassandra was in full-on executive mode at the Singapore branch, flanked by the management team like some kind of queen bee.Meanwhile, Sebastian looked like a force of nature gliding through the office-every question he asked cut right to the core, slicing through the care

Seraphina's POVEarly morning.After breakfast, I changed into a sharp black suit and slipped on a pair of comfy flat leather shoes. Phone and voice recorder in my bag, I left the hotel and hailed a cab to the factory.The ride was actually kind of peaceful. I let myself enjoy the scenery for a bit, letting my brain breathe.When I arrived at the factory on the island, I showed my ID. Right away, the plant manager came out with the admin and finance folks to greet me."Seraphina Crowee," I said, offering a quick handshake with his greasy palm. "Assistant to Alpha Sebastian.""Duane Davis," he replied enthusiastically, gripping my hand too tightly. "We've all been looking forward to Alpha's visit. Everyone's thrilled at the chance to see him.""His schedule's packed," I cut in, keeping my tone neutral as I pulled my hand back. "So today, you've only got me. Let's not waste time."His smile faltered for a second, then snapped back into place. He started showing me around-offices, produc

Seraphina's POVJulian-the deputy manager of the branch. What a bastard.I already suspected there was a mole in the company, but I didn't expect it to be him."Well, well, sweetheart. What kind of gentlemen treat a lady like this?" Julian said with that disgusting fake-smooth voice of his.He walked in and slammed the door shut, flipping on the one bare bulb overhead-covered in cobwebs and casting a sickly yellow glow.Great. A scene straight out of a horror movie. Just what I needed today.Now I could finally see the room. Looked like a dusty time capsule from the '70s-grimy dining table, couch with springs sticking out, and one of those chunky old floor TVs.Note to self: If I get out of here alive, Sebastian is definitely paying for my dry cleaning."Look at the way they tied you up, darling," he crooned, reaching out to touch my face.I jerked my head away. Try touching me again-you'll lose that hand.He rubbed his fingers together like he was savoring the feel of my skin, then h

Sebastian's POVWhen Kane mentioned the house was up on the cliffs, something inside me just snapped.That cold chill shot straight through my bones.Dumped into the ocean.The mere thought of it made my wolf howl in agony from deep within.Any sense of relief about finding her completely vanished, and my face just... darkened.Judging by the way Kane refused to meet my eyes, I must've looked like I was ready to tear someone apart.He just gave a quiet "yes, Alpha" and quickly slipped out of the room.I turned back, locking eyes with Julian again.Caught that tiny smirk on his face that he didn't manage to hide fast enough.Yeah, he really thought we'd only dig up a swollen, waterlogged corpse-one that couldn't speak.I had to fight the urge to slam his smug face into this ridiculously expensive table. The heat in my veins was almost unbearable.My knuckles cracked from how hard I was clenching my hands, but I held myself together.That kind of stuff-flying off the handle-Marcus would

Seraphina's POVI locked eyes with Julian, watching every twitch of emotion flicker across his face. Yeah, he was still clinging to the hope that he could turn things around.That sly bastard was betting I didn't actually have the recording.Alright then. Time to crush his last bit of confidence."Oh, right," I said casually, shrugging a shoulder. "Almost forgot-my recorder? It's linked to my personal cloud. All the files should've auto-uploaded to a secure server."Sebastian picked it up immediately, signaling Kane to fetch a laptop.When Julian saw Kane walk into the room carrying the computer, his face drained of all color like someone pulled the plug."Let me log in real quick..." I dragged out my words, finger inching across the trackpad at a deliberately slow pace.The room went dead silent. All you could hear was the AC humming. Everyone was staring. "Ah, there it is."I looked up at Julian and gave him a smile that said game over. My finger hovered above the play button.That
