Lahat ng Kabanata ng Divorced, Now Mated To His Billionaire Uncle : Kabanata 251 - Kabanata 260

MARCUSOn my drive to work, I couldn’t help but think about this morning.About the sex but also because I’d finally marked Ashley.Doing that gave me a sense of pride knowing that whenever she went out, people would know that she had a mate... Me."Sir?" Lyra, my assistant who sat beside me at the back of the car, called my attention. "I just wanted to inform you that Payne Technology will also be attending the meeting with your board. They’re aligned with Liam Enterprises."My brows furrowed into a frown.Payne Technology?"Who’s the CEO of Payne Technology?" I asked curiously, wondering why that name sounded so familiar.Lyra responded after a few seconds’ pause. "Uhh... It’s Caleb Payne, sir."My heart dropped when I heard that name.Oh, no."Caleb is the Alpha of Crescent Moon, Lyra," I muttered, rubbing my forehead with frustration.While my company was one of the biggest in the country, not a lot of people knew I was the CEO.Heck, I was certain Caleb would instantly pull out i

"How shameless can you be, Ashley?" Jennifer snapped, interrupting my little moment with Ashley once again.Ashley stepped away from me, fixing her gaze on her. "Haven’t you caused enough damage for today, Pinocchio? I’d love it if you excused yourself a–"Suddenly, out of nowhere, Jennifer rushed toward Ashley, her hand stretched forward like she was about to land a dirty slap on her face.I noticed the way Ashley jolted subconsciously before the slap even touched her, but intervened, catching Jennifer’s hand mid-air and yanking her away."K– Marcus?!" Jennifer gasped, wincing in pain at how I held her. "I was just going to teach her a little lesson."When I heard that, my frown only deepened as I glared at her, subconsciously increasing my grip on her wrist in the process.However, before I could do anything I might regret, my mother banged on the dining table, calling my attention to her."Stop this unnecessary violence!" She yelled, her gaze fixed on me and my hand around Jennifer

My heart palpitated heavily against my ribcage due to the adrenaline rush as I sat up on the grass, staring at the gory scene before us.On the bench where Ashley and I had been sitting lay the dead body of a young lady.And it wasn’t just any ’young lady’ too."Ahhhh!" Ashley suddenly let out a shrill scream, her hands flying to her mouth as she tried to control herself.Her eyes flashed with terror when she got a clearer view of the girl on the bench.Susan... Her maid."Sir!" Just then, Lyra rushed toward us with some guards in black suits.They surrounded the premises, helping me and Ashley up while searching around to see if the culprit was still lurking around.However, after the guards had helped me up, I brushed their hands aside, walking to the dead body with a frown on my face.Now that I was close to the body, I had a better view of it and could make a clearer picture in my head of what happened.There was a fist-sized hole in the girl’s chest, where her heart was supposed

ASHLEYWho would’ve thought that a simple walk with Beta Jarred would turn out to be one of the most conflicted moments I’ve ever experienced since I got to this mansion?No, it wasn’t because he led us to the same garden where my affair with him started.Rather, it was because of the shocking discovery we made while there."The Delta is after Marcus’s life," I muttered to myself as I walked back to the mansion.The discovery had left me mentally exhausted, prompting me to take an excuse from Jarred.To hell with Marcus’s idea of me meeting Jarred for guidance in my role as Luna.This meeting was doomed to have some underlying disaster from the onset... Delta Asher’s revelation was just the icing on the bloody cake.Eventually, I got to the mansion’s compound but then heard footsteps behind me.I glanced back only to spot Susan walking fast toward me, a worried expression on her face."Ma’am? Are you okay?" She asked with a sincerely concerned tone. "You didn’t even bother taking the

Eager to calm Catherine’s anger, I stepped forward, making my way to her."M– Ma’am, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean–"However, she raised her hand, a smile plastered on her face. "Don’t. It’s fine, it’s not your fault."What the heck?A cold shiver ran down my spine as she stepped forward, her eyes on the scattered pieces of the necklace in my hands.I stretched my hands forward, gazing at my feet like that would save me from what I felt was impending doom.But it never came."In all seriousness, I don’t blame you, Ashley." She repeated after taking the pieces from my hands. But when I raised my head, I didn’t see an ounce of kindness in her eyes.On the contrary, her gaze on me was cold as she spoke with an equally cold tone. "I blame myself for not getting rid of you on the same night you got here with everything I have..." She stepped forward with each word she uttered.Terrified, I moved backward, trying to avoid an encounter with her.But Marcus’s mother persisted with her hurtful word
