The silence that followed stretched for a few seconds, long enough to make me doubt if he’d heard what I said.Then he turned slowly.And for the first time since Draco appeared, something in his composure shifted. Just enough to reveal the flicker of emotion in his eyes.But that emotion was gone in the next second.Retaining the indifferent look on his face, he stepped forward, leaving only a foot’s distance between us. “Bored with your hard-earned independence already? Isn’t seeking salvation too late?”The sarcasm in his words was intentional.I didn’t let it get through me. Meeting his gaze with a wry smile, I replied, “I’m not seeking salvation. You know this marriage will benefit you more than it does me. The Supreme Alpha position isn't earned or bought. It is only inherited.”Draco raised a brow. “I don’t recall you being so generous. What do you get in return?”Nothing ever got past him. Not even the slightest detail.But telling Draco about my current misery… wouldn’t he l

Kyle’s POVThe Rolls-Royce Phantom zoomed off, leaving dust and fumes flying in the air.Some of it got into my lungs, I couldn't cough it out, overwhelmed by the shock constricting my chest.That was definitely Aria.At first, I'd wondered why she was here. I'd been fully convinced that she was stalking me again. After all, she'd been doing that recently.But now, Only one question echoed in my chest;Whose car was that?How did Aria even get access to such a luxury car?There were only three of its kind in the world. Even I couldn't afford it, and could only admire it in vain.Seeing Aria drive off in it, a mix of disbelief, uncertainty, and somewhere underneath it, a subtle rage I couldn't comprehend, built up.“No way!” Selene gasped.I'd long forgotten she was standing beside me. I'd even forgotten what brought us here until she spoke.“Kyle, I’m afraid…” She turned to me, her eyes wide with concern. “Did Aria sell herself to a rich man? This car… I recognize it. Doesn't it belo

I gulped, taking several steps back.He was clearly lying.I knew him too well to realize that his smile meant trouble, and his kind words meant an invitation to destruction.“Dickson, look! You and I have no business with each other.”“Oh, really?” He raised an amused brow, stepping forward as I stepped back. “That’s not what I recall. Besides, you're now part of this family.”My back hit the chest of one of the bodyguards. There was nowhere left to run.“I- I am warning you. If you dare lay a finger on me, you're going to answer to—”“My brother?” He completed my words, his grin widening. “I wonder what he’s gonna do when he finds out the agreement you and I had.”Right.That stupid agreement.I'd totally forgotten about it. After all, I was never acting based on the agreement.I broke the engagement with Draco for my own personal reasons.“Aria…” he patted my hair. “Remember when we used to be friends. Remember when we both vowed to help each other achieve our goals. Remember when

Kyle’s POV“Where is she!?”I'd thought I would be able to rein in my rage. I'd sworn I would never lose control over someone insignificant.But here I was,Flipping the desk over in my study, shattering every piece of furniture in my way.My phone wasn't spared after I was told Aria was gone. To put it accurately, she'd disappeared into thin air.How was that possible?Did it make sense?None of the men I'd sent to abduct her returned from the Purity Penthouse. The most strange thing was that Herman Sy happened to be ambushed by a bigger, more dangerous drug lord. Could Aria be one of the women they'd taken away? Not only did my men and Aria disappear. Many others went missing from Purity Penthouse last night.“Oh, Kyle!” Selene barged in, stumbling on her feet, pressing onto the huge cast hanging around her neck. “Is something wrong? Why aren't you sleeping yet? I woke up and found the bed empty.”The phone call woke me up.I hadn't been able to rest ever since I sent out the sear

Beatrice narrowed her eyes, and she eyed me from head to toe. “She’s no witch or ghost. But something is different about her.”In a flash, the woman was standing beside me, gripping my arm. “I knew it! This ungrateful brat has wasted herself and is now back to seek crumbs from your father.”“Ridiculous!” Lisa descended from the stairs. Unlike her mother, she walked slowly, gracefully, her eyes glinting with mischief. “No way, Big Sis. What did you go through out there? You're now skin and bones. How pathetic.”“Unfortunately, you’re too late.” Beatrice clicked her tongue. “If your father comes back and finds you here, there will be nothing left of you. Take this little advice and go back. No amount of apology will make him forgive you.”If it were in the past, their words would have provoked me.I would have lashed at them. I would have demanded respect from these greedy people who only knew how to repay kindness with deceit.But now,I only felt more disappointment towards my father
