Addicted To My Ex-Husband's Enemy; His Curvy Obsession のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

~ RHETT ~Cassie was supposed to be nothing more than a college fling. A pretty, fuckable face with a tight cunt, a good time, and nothing worth getting attached to.That was the rule. College girls came and went. I'd keep things casual, and when I got bored, I'd move on to the next one without attachment, complication, or feelings.Especially not for someone like me. Being an Alpha son, my position comes with power, status, a name people pay attention to. Pussy came easy. Girls wanted the spot beside an Alpha — the title, the protection, the life that came with it.Cassie was different. Not because she was prettier than the rest, although, looking back now, she fucking was, but because of what lived behind those eyes whenever she argued with me. There was always this quiet confidence in her, this irritating little spark that made it impossible to dismiss her even when I desperately wanted to.She never argued just to hear herself speak, and she never tried to prove she was the smarte

~ CASSANDRA ~The food tastes surprisingly familiar and delicious, and memories of eating this kind of breakfast begin to surface in my mind.It reminds me of when I was seven years old, back when I still had Mom and she would serve me breakfast with that sweet smile of hers.Breakfast used to be hearty, and our family used to be whole.Dad would give me some of his pancakes, and afterward, we would drive to the park for a little picnic. We were rich in every sense of the word, although not in the money kind of way.Dad had worked tooth and nail to provide for us, but the happiness we shared back then made us richer than anything money could buy.That was before Mom died. They said it was some kind of poison, and after her death, Dad married that two-faced bitch, Auren, my stepmother.The worst part was that she had been Mom’s friend.Finally, I glance down at my plate and realize that it’s completely empty, while my stomach feels pleasantly full.For once, I’ve eaten an entire meal w

~ CASSANDRA ~We’re in his car, heading to the summit. Cassian and I are seated in the back seat, while his pack driver is behind the wheel. Two convoys lead the way, with more vehicles following behind us.I mentally scold myself for acting like a limp worm while he was flirting with me, and I silently curse Lyra for making me this damn weak.But the thing about Cassian is that he’s undeniably attractive. I know that. And the mate bond between us seems to make the attraction ten times worse.I’m trying not to look at him, especially when my panties are still damp from the things he whispered in my ear.By the goddess, this man. I shift in my seat, crossing my legs and turning my attention to the window.I need to stop thinking about his voice. The way his thumb brushed against my waist. The way he leaned close enough for his breath to warm my ear.And those fucking words. My thighs press together.“Get a grip, Cassandra,” I mutter under my breath.“Did you say something?” My head sna

~ CASSANDRA ~He chuckles in that devilish way of his, his hand coming up to cup my jaw as he forces me to look into those evil eyes."Oh, my Cassie. That's where you're mistaken." His fingers tighten around my jaw. "I do have complete control over you. Every fucking bit of it. You can't leave me, bitch. This will only be over when I say it's over. You wouldn't leave me for my enemy, Cassie. You're not that brave. You'd rather kill me first!"His grip tightens around my jaw, and his teeth clench so hard I can practically hear them grinding.I try to say something, but with his hand around my neck, I can barely force the words out."You think you can leave me for that bastard after everything you know?" His fingers tighten around my throat."You're my accomplice. The only way to shut you up would be to kill you and slice that fat neck of yours clean off your body, but that brain of yours is too valuable to end up as a dead, decaying component." His lips curl into a cruel smile. "Hence,

~ CASSANDRA ~When we get back to the summit event, everyone is already deep in a heated conversation, while Rhett sits calmly in his chair, looking as composed as ever. If only looks could be that deceiving.My arm is hooked around Cassian’s as he leads me back to my chair and helps me settle in. I try to follow the conversation that has been going on in our absence, but it takes me a few minutes to piece together what’s happening.Apparently, it’s a dispute between two packs, with the council trying to broker peace over a stretch of land. One pack claims the land belongs to them, while the other insists they legally bought it. Neither side seems willing to back down, and the council is struggling to keep the argument from turning into an all-out pack conflict.After what feels like thirty minutes, the council finally manages to reach a solution that, surprisingly, seems fair. They agree that the disputed land will remain under the temporary control of both packs, with each pack allo
