All Chapters of My Mate betrayed me, So I signed a contract : Chapter 31 - Chapter 35

FEYREI froze for a brief moment, my thoughts catching on that one name as it echoed in my mind.Davina.Then it all came rushing back at once.Davina Crossel, the Crossel family’s eldest daughter, the prodigy who had shaken the entire region when she translated an ancient letter at just fifteen years old, instantly earning a reputation that most scholars spent their entire lives chasing, and someone I had once quietly admired from a distance as I clung to my own fragile dreams of entering the Imperial College to study ancient languages.The Crossel family itself wasn’t just wealthy, it was powerful in a way that ordinary people like me could barely comprehend, with deep-rooted connections that even extended into the royal bloodline, making them untouchable in most situations."If Davina wasn’t so busy with her work right now, you wouldn’t even have this chance," Dora continued with a dismissive huff, her chin lifting slightly as she looked down on me. "But I’ve already told her every

FEYREAnna’s knocking grew louder, more impatient, each hit against the door echoing through the office like a ticking clock counting down to something inevitable.Grant didn’t open it immediately.Instead, he stepped in front of me again, blocking my path as if he could still control how this would end, as if offering me a way out on his terms would somehow fix everything he had already broken.He agreed not to force me into mating anyone.He even offered me twenty million a year.Generous, wasn’t it?But the moment the number left his mouth, I didn’t feel tempted, or grateful, or even surprised.Because I knew exactly what twenty million meant to him.It was nothing more than the price of a single piece of jewelry he would casually buy for Anna without a second thought.And suddenly, life felt like the biggest joke of all.When I was nineteen, I hadn’t needed twenty million.Back then, a thirty-dollar cake and a cheap bouquet of flowers had been enough to make me so happy that I cou

FEYREI froze for a second, then gave a small nod, quietly acknowledging his words.So not everyone in power was like Grant, twisting right and wrong to suit themselves."Dora? What’s wrong? Why are you crying like that, sweetheart?"A woman walked in, dressed in an expensive designer outfit, pulling a sleek suitcase behind her, her voice filled with concern as her eyes immediately locked onto Dora."Davina!"Dora’s voice broke as she rushed forward, throwing herself into the woman’s arms like she had just been rescued, yet even in that moment, she didn’t forget to shoot me a smug, triumphant look.My chest tightened.So this was her… Davina Crossel.The woman everyone said should have been standing in my place."Ryder, no matter what happened, you can’t scold Dora like that. She lost her mother at such a young age, she’s sensitive," Davina said, her tone gentle toward Dora, but the moment her gaze shifted to me, that softness disappeared completely.Her eyes moved over me slowly, fro
