All Chapters of The Betrayed Luna’s Revenge: Too Late for Regret, Alpha : Chapter 71 - Chapter 77

YvetteAfter the whole thing with Kael last night, I tried to calm myself down and get a good night's rest. The next morning, I went to work happy and full of life.After the end of the day, I gathered my things to go home and relax. The moment I stepped out of Adam Research Institute, my phone started ringing.I glanced at the screen and immediately rolled my eyes because it was my ex-father calling. At this point, I was beginning to suspect they had created a group chat specifically dedicated to ruining my peace.Why did I even forget to block him in the first place? I refused to answer and quickly blocked him because if he was calling, it was usually for one of three reasons.Lyra was upset, Lyra was offended, or Lyra had done something stupid and somehow managed to make it my problem.I tossed the phone onto the passenger seat and started the car. After approximately twelve seconds. My phone began ringing again, and I was about to cuss out whoever was on the line when I checked to

Yvette"If she's so much better than me..." I repeated calmly, looking directly at Lyra. “Then why has she spent her entire life feeling threatened by me?"The room went silent, and Lyra's face turned pale immediately."Yvette." Her mother warned sharply."What? I'm just genuinely curious, that’s all. Because from where I'm standing, someone who is prettier, smarter, kinder, more successful, and more loved shouldn't need to compete with anyone." "Yet somehow Lyra is always competing with me. Why?” I asked.Nobody said a word, even her father, the macho man and defender of the universe, couldn’t seem to have words to defend her this time around."That's enough." Darius finally snapped when he found his voice again."No, it really isn’t." I laughed softly, and my eyes landed on Lyra."Let's count them together.""You wanted my father, then you wanted my brothers, you wanted my family, you wanted my place in this house, you wanted everyone to choose you, and they did, yet you’re still n

YvetteBy the next morning, I was already sitting in Scott's office with three cups of coffee between us and enough notes scattered across the desk to start a small war.Scott looked completely invested, and me on the other hand? I looked completely possessed. It was funny, but seeing that there was a possibility my idea could come to life and someone was interested in it actually gave me a sense of purpose. "You realize we've been discussing this for over two hours?" Scott asked eventually."Have we?" I blinked, and he laughed."You really are back, there’s the Yvette I know." He said, and I smiled softly. Those words hit harder than they should have, because maybe I was.For the first time in years, I wasn't waking up wondering how to make Kael love me or obsessing over how to make my family see that Lyra was the liar and not me I also wasn't trying to earn approval from people who had already decided I wasn't enough. I was working.Actually working on something I truly loved an

YvetteThe next day passed in a blur.Between meetings with Scott, reviewing project notes, and making final adjustments to my proposal, I barely had time to think about anything else.Which was probably a good thing.Because every time my mind wandered, it somehow found its way back to Soren and the very outstanding dress he had bought me.I also found myself thinking too much about the fact that someone had sent me a photograph with the words: I found you.I still hadn't figured out who sent it. And honestly? I was too busy to care right now, even if whoever it was found me for the purpose of harm, I still didn’t care. They had better stopped the hiding game and come out from the shadows or they could remain hidden forever. The banquet was going to start by seven. So by six-thirty, I was standing in front of a mirror inside one of the hotel's private suites.The blue gown fit perfectly, it was almost a surprise that anyone aside me could get me a dress that was tailored to perfect
