Chapter 221 The Ugly Truth

Cecilia's povThen, her cheeks flushed crimson."How dare you!" Amara hissed, her voice trembling with barely contained rage. "You don't need to twist the knife, Cecilia. Fine, I'm not his favorite anymore. You got me fired so you could have him all to yourself. Enjoy your moment in the spotlight while it lasts. Soon enough, you'll be the ex too!""Valid point," I agreed, nodding with exaggerated sincerity.That shut her up.She clearly hadn't expected me to agree.She stood there, mouth slightly open, argument dying on her lips.With each interaction, I was becoming increasingly convinced that Amara wasn't the master manipulator I'd initially pegged her for.No clever schemes, no brilliant machinations.Throw a few verbal punches her way, and she crumbled.Her only real talent seemed to be a masterful ability to cry on command.I almost felt sorry for her."Look, Amara," I sighed, setting down my fork. "Maybe you need to stop defining yourself as 'the ex.' The whole desperate, clingy

Chapter 222 Mind Games

Cecilia's povThe second I heard his voice, my spine went rigid like someone had flipped the "fight or flight" switch.I turned slowly to find Sebastian standing in the doorway, rain dripping from his hair and soaking the shoulders of his black coat.He looked like he'd walked straight out of a noir film--all shadows and silent brooding..His eyes met mine, unreadable as fog rolling off a mountain lake.Still that maddening calm."I slept perfectly well," I said with forced brightness, the kind reserved for family dinners and awkward office parties.I grabbed for the tissue box on the coffee table like it was a lifeline, using it as an excuse to break our eye contact.A few sheets in hand, I crossed the room and handed them to him."Your hair's soaked," I said, tone clinically polite. "Might want to dry off before you catch cold.""Thanks," he said, accepting the tissues with a slight nod and casually patting his hair like he hadn't just walked through a hurricane.He sank into the cou

Chapter 223 Beneath the Silence

Cecilia's povThe house settled into that peculiar quiet that comes with early evening--the brief pause between day and night.Tang nearly bounced on his heels as he nudged me toward the stairs."Go on. Call the Alpha down. Mrs. Linda pulled out all the stops tonight."I recognized his little game immediately.Ever since the incident with Amara, he'd been trying to redeem himself through these "helpful" nudges that just happened to throw Sebastian and me together."Fine," I sighed, setting down my book. "I'll go find him."Truthfully, I didn't mind. It was my job, after all--keeping Sebastian on schedule, making sure he remembered basic human functions like eating.Along the way, I could grab Sawyer too.Upstairs, I knocked on the door to Sebastian's study. No answer.I was about to knock again when the bedroom door swung open and Sebastian emerged, dressed in fresh clothes--dark slacks and a charcoal button-down that looked tailored within an inch of its life. Definitely not loungewea

Chapter 224 Shadows of Doubt

Cecilia's povThe horror movie credits rolled across my screen, casting a ghostly blue glow over the walls and my unmade bed.I'd picked something especially gruesome--the kind where good-looking people make stupid choices and wind up dead in increasingly creative ways.It was mindless, bloody, and loud--exactly what I needed.Somehow, watching all that blood and screaming made my own mess feel...manageable. Predictable, even.At least their horror had rules. Mine didn't.I scrolled through the recommended titles, a blur of bloodied faces and ominous fonts.None of them worked for me. Just jump scares and screaming women, fear dressed up for Halloween.I closed the app and set the screen facedown on the bed.The light vanished, and for the first time tonight, the quiet crawled in around me.My phone lay untouched on the nightstand, screen dark.I told myself I was only checking the time.9:07 PM.The location-sharing icon caught my eye, glowing faintly in the corner.Sebastian and I ha

Chapter 225 A Fractured Facade

Sebastian's povI watched her walk away--back straight, heels sharp against the floor.A smile twitched at the corner of my mouth, automatic. It faded before it ever got real.By the time she turned the corner, all I felt was cold.I cleared my throat and picked up the phone."Evelyn.""Sebastian. About what you mentioned last night--having Vance and me set up that connection for you. We heard back this morning, but... Vance thinks you should stay clear of these people. They're not exactly Sunday brunch types, and frankly, we're worried. You're a dear friend. We don't want you getting in too deep.""I know what I'm doing," I said. "But thank you."She hesitated. Then softened."Okay, come by tonight. We've got it arranged. Just... watch your back, alright?""Noted."A pause. Then her voice lifted, just a shade too bright."Cassian mentioned you're seeing someone. He said you're absolutely smitten. Vance and I are dying to meet the woman who finally tamed Alpha Sebastian."Girlfriend.T

Chapter 226 Misunderstandings and Revelations

Cecilia's povThe tension in the car was suffocating, thick enough to cut through.I kept my gaze fixed on the window, watching the jagged skyline blur past, pretending I couldn't feel Sebastian sitting inches away, silent and unreadable.By the time we pulled up to the house, I practically jumped out, desperate for air.Four of us filed into the sprawling house, each wrapped in our own silence."I need to go over a few things before the meeting," Sebastian said once we stepped inside. His voice was cool, careful. "I won't be long."I nodded, keeping my eyes on the floor. "I should get changed. Sawyer's going with me to the reception."That was it--no questions, no hesitation. Just two people passing each other like strangers in the hallway of a house that wasn't home.We moved in opposite directions, our usual choreography of avoidance.When his door finally clicked shut behind him, I felt a sharp wave of relief... followed immediately by something that felt annoyingly close to disapp

Chapter 227 Tipsy Confessions

Author's povThe reception was at one of those upscale clubs in central London--sleek, exclusive, drowning in chandeliers and velvet, with waiters who moved like they were on rails.The room buzzed: glasses clinked, laughter rose and fell, and the soft murmur of jazz.Cecilia barely noticed.Normally, she'd own a night like this--chatting up coworkers, trading cards, working the room like it was her stage.She was good at it, too. The polished charm, the strategic smiles, the way she remembered names and made people feel like they mattered--it was second nature.Most nights, that social armor fit like a second skin. But tonight, it felt heavy. Off.Tonight, she felt like a tourist who didn't speak the language.She grabbed a glass of wine early, made the rounds, said the right things--then slipped into a corner to watch instead of perform.Still, she didn't go unnoticed.Alone with her wine in a sleek black dress, her face a mask of calm detachment, she looked like she’d stepped out of

Chapter 228 Intoxicating Troubles

Sebastian's povI tilted my head slightly as Cecilia's fingers pressed insistently against my mouth, as if trying to feed me something invisible--but clearly important."Could you be a bit gentler with the offering?" I murmured through her fingers, my voice low and wry, carried off by the breeze with just enough gravel to make it sound like a private joke.Cecilia blinked at me, wide-eyed and utterly sincere, then pressed her palm back over my mouth with renewed determination."Mr. Wolf," she said solemnly, "you need to eat properly. If you get too skinny, you won't be handsome anymore."I barely managed to contain my amusement.She sounded like a kindergarten teacher scolding a particularly vain husky.Drunk Cecilia followed a logic all her own--equal parts fairy tale, fever dream, and wilderness survival guide authored after two glasses of champagne.I played along, letting my lips move obligingly beneath her hand. "There. I've eaten it all."That seemed to satisfy her. She removed h

Chapter 229 A Chaotic Night

Sebastian's povI watched her for a long moment, my expression flat despite the war going on just beneath the surface."My arm's getting tired," I said, tone even."No, it's not," she murmured, eyes half-lidded."The water's cold now.""Nope," she insisted softly, her head lolling against the edge of the tub like she was royalty and I was her long-suffering servant.Her drunken pout was softening my resolve by the second.But the moment passed. Duty beat desire--this time.I lifted her out of the cooling bath and wrapped her in a thick towel, drying her off with brisk, practiced movements.She scowled, clearly not a fan of the change. Then she leaned in, wrinkled her nose, and made a face like she'd just smelled a dead fish."You stink."The irony wasn't lost on me, considering she'd used my shirt as a personal vomit canvas less than an hour ago."Yeah," I said dryly. "Hard to stay fresh after being personally baptized by you."She gave a half-smile, already drifting off again, and I c

Chapter 230 A Scream In The Morning 1

Cecilia's povI woke slowly, my head fuzzy and pounding just enough to make me hate myself.The ceiling above me wasn't familiar.This wasn't my room.Panic flared, sharp and immediate.Before I could do more than grip the sheets tighter, I heard footsteps.I turned my head--and nearly choked.Sebastian stepped out of the walk-in closet, fully dressed in a deep navy three-piece suit that looked like it had been tailored by a god and paid for in blood.He looked like he belonged on the cover of GQ, not in the same room as me--bed-headed, hungover, and very much wearing nothing but a robe.Wait.Scratch that. I was the one in the robe.A thick, plush hotel-grade one that definitely wasn't mine."...Morning," I croaked, my voice embarrassingly rough."Morning," he replied, calm as ever."You got drunk at the party last night. Then threw up in your room. I moved you here--yours needed a, let's say, biohazard-level cleaning."I blinked. Twice. My brain was still slogging through molasses."
