Lahat ng Kabanata ng HIS REJECTED PLUMP MATE IS A GENIUS TECH QUEEN: Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

CASSIUS POV I wished I wasn’t sober enough for this meeting. The rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee, buttered toast and roasted meat lingered in the dining room. Under any other circumstance, it would’ve whetted my appetite. Today, it only made my stomach churn. Morning sunlight poured through the floor-to-ceiling windows, reflecting off polished silverware and crystal glasses arranged with irritating precision. Servants moved quietly around the table, refilling cups, replacing plates and pretending not to hear the conversation taking place. Father and Alpha Jonathan sat at the far end of the table, their voices blending into a low murmur. “…the ceremony…” “…the guest list…” “…the alliance…” Every other word scraped against my patience. As though discussing my future without me somehow made it theirs to decide. Scarlett, unfortunately, wasn’t helping. She’d spent the last ten minutes talking nonstop about her bachelorette moon party. “I’m renting the newest event

TRINITY POV“She’s Roland Justice’s daughter?”“The new CEO?”“Impossible.”Whispers spread through the lobby.Some stared.Some laughed.Others quietly lifted their phones, eager to record whatever scene they believed was about to unfold.Predictable.Of course it was impossible.A woman like me running one of the biggest technology companies in the country?Not in their eyes.But impossibility had never existed in my vocabulary.I lowered the ID, expecting Beatrice to finally step aside. Instead, the bitch snatched it from my hand and tossed it onto the polished marble floor.“Anyone can forge one of those.”She circled me slowly, her sickly sweet perfume making my stomach churn.“You?” she scoffed. “CEO of this place?”She let out a mocking laugh. “Keep dreaming.”Except, I wasn’t.I glanced around.A large crowd had gathered.Employees whispered among themselves while phones pointed in my direction from every angle.Some smiled. Some openly laughed. Others watched with poorly hidd

TRINITY POV I settled back in my chair, feeling more comfortable and confident than I had earlier. Beta Harold opened the first folder before him and adjusted his reading glasses. “Our first agenda item is the company’s performance over the last quarter.” He looked toward the woman seated to his left. “Margaret.” Margaret Ellis, the Chief Financial Officer, straightened in her seat. The same woman who had defended me earlier. She picked up a remote and pressed a button. The screen mounted on the wall came to life. Graphs. Figures. Percentages. The kind of information that had consumed my entire weekend as I tried, over and over again, to make sense of it. “Our revenue increased by eight percent compared to the previous quarter,” Margaret began. “Cloud infrastructure remains our strongest-performing division. However, manufacturing costs have risen by eleven percent due to supply chain disruptions.” She advanced to the next slide. “Our net profit is down by two point four perce

TRINITY POV“You’re it, Sammy!”I froze in the doorway, watching Cassius and Sam chase each other around the spacious living room.The evening sunlight spilled through the open window, bathing the room in a warm golden glow.The omega maids stood off to one side, quietly observing them. Their curious gazes followed Sam and Cassius as they darted around the room.Sam’s giggles filled the living room as his tiny feet carried him as fast as they could.Even as his mother, I’d never seen him this carefree.And for a little boy who was usually shy around strangers, he seemed to have taken to Cassius with surprising ease.Or maybe they could feel it. The connection between them. Father and son.No.I shook the thought away as I stepped into the room.Letting them get close enough to sense anything between them would be the worst thing that could happen. More than anything, I didn’t like the way the maids kept staring. Sooner or later, they were bound to start piecing things together.Cassi

TRINITY POVThe moment I stepped into the room, exhaustion settled over me.I tucked Sam into bed.He’d already fallen asleep while Alpha Jericho and Cassius were confronting each other.I walked over to the window and stared at the evening sky, streaked with shades of red, orange, and blue.He’d defended me.He’d claimed responsibility for Elder Lawrence’s death, even though it had been Chase and Elliott.Whatever his reason, he’d saved me from whatever punishment Alpha Jericho had planned.A soft knock sounded at the door. I stared at it without answering. It couldn’t be Marisol.That stupid witch never knocked.She barged in whenever she pleased and started yelling before anyone could stop her.Maybe Mother. That would’ve been even worse. I still wasn’t ready to face her after our last argument.Hopefully, she’d finally learned to leave me alone. Another knock.“It’s open,” I called.The door creaked open. Scarlett stepped inside. The last person I’d expected to see.I lifted a bro
