Semua Bab After the Divorce, My Psycho Alpha Ex-Husband went feral: Bab 11 - Bab 20

Scarlett POVWhat the hell does Regina know?My mind was spinning.I stared at the ended call on my phone screen and slowly set it down.“What did Regina say?” Delaney asked, looking worried.“She's probably already heard about the divorce.” I rubbed my forehead, feeling annoyed. The next morning.Sunlight slipped through the curtains. I forced my dry eyes open.This was my third day crashing at Delaney's place, and I still wasn't used to the tiny room or the crappy curtains that let in all the light.Before I could even wake up properly, Regina's assistant called and rushed me to come back to her house.The second I stepped inside, Regina's presence was everywhere.My heart started beating faster, and my chest felt tight.“How could you jump straight to divorce? Don't married couples talk things out?” The moment she saw me, her face

Scarlett POVJaxen wasn't talking to me; he was talking to Regina. But every word dripped with heavy sarcasm.I didn't bother to explain. Regina had set this whole thing up. Even if I tried, Jaxen wouldn't believe me, and Regina wouldn't care.I picked up my fork and kept eating. The sooner I finished, the sooner I could get out of here.“Scarlett, don't just sit there eating. Say something,” Regina said, shooting me a warning look.I glanced up. She was practically glued to Jaxen's side, smiling like a proud matchmaker, her eyes darting between us as if she were directing a show.“Oh. We're eating, aren't we?” I replied flatly.Regina's smile tightened. She lowered her voice but made sure we both heard. “Serve Jaxen some venison.”My fork paused mid-air.The old me would've already jumped up, pulled him closer, piled food on his plate, and poured his wine with a hopef

Scarlett POVAt the door, Regina paused and turned back. “Scarlett, I raised you. I don't want you to have a hard life. Don't be silly anymore, child. You don't belong in a place like this. Think carefully about what I told you.”The door closed with a soft click.I sat on the couch, staring at the closed door for a long time, unable to move.Delaney came back about ten minutes later with two cups of coffee.“What did she say?”“Jaxen's mom called from Paris. She probably knows about the divorce, too.”Delaney sat next to me and handed me a coffee in front of my face. “And?”“And Regina told her we're just messing around.”“Messing around,” Delaney repeated the words, her voice full of

Scarlett POVAs soon as Liliana finished speaking, every eye in the room swung to Jaxen standing beside her.His face remained completely blank, impossible to read. He glanced over the crowd, then opened his mouth just a little. “Alright.”Such a simple word. He didn't openly pick a side, but everyone here knew what it meant. He was backing Liliana. Of course, he wasn't standing up for me. He wouldn't even look at me.My fists clenched tight for a second, then I let them go with a bitter little laugh at myself. My heart was still racing like an idiot. For one foolish moment, I had actually hoped he'd speak up for me.I tore my eyes off Jaxen and glanced at Liliana. She looked as if she'd already won, smirking like the ultimate homewrecker who hadn't quite sealed the deal yet.The whole situation was getting awkward for everyone, but Regina was the old Alpha's daughter with serious status. A little drama like this

Scarlett POVI barely had time to catch my breath before the first wave hit.At first, I thought the room's air conditioning was broken. The temperature felt stifling, as if the heating had been cranked to maximum. Sweat prickled along my hairline.My skin grew flushed and overly sensitive, every brush of fabric against my body sending unwelcome sparks racing through my nerves.My pulse quickened.A strange, liquid heat pooled low in my belly, spreading outward like molten honey. My thighs pressed together instinctively, but that only worsened it. A needy ache bloomed between my legs, insistent and humiliating. I rubbed my arms, trying to shake it off. I thought it was just stress or anger.But deep down, I knew Regina had done something. That chicken soup she'd insisted I finish... the way she'd watched me drink every drop.“How could she?” The thought burned hotter than the fire now licking through my ve
