Novel & Cerita This Heat Deceit

Chapter 7 AURORA I continued to play along with his Deceit. "Can you hear it beating?" He inquired again, snapping me off my thoughts. But the only thing that I could hear was my burning hate for him. I stared at him, trying as hard as I could not to reveal the hate that was flaming up inside of me so that he could keep fooling himself, thinking that he was deceiving me while in the real Sense, he was deceiving.

You tried to manipulate me with your stories but you forgot what I had told you that nothing will work on me. I accept that I always acted foolish just to save our marriage but I have no reasons to dig the grave of my self respect. Not even your love has that power for which I should compromise with my self respect. I'll snatch everything from you and your so called parents. After that you all will be on roads. Or I should say behind the bars for doing fraud. My Deceitful Husband also deserves to get deceived from the love of his life. He should know the taste of deceit.

“You told me lie after lie. I’m not sure what I can believe anymore.” My father pointed at me and scolded me, “Elena, don’t cross the line. Aaron is telling the truth! Do you know why we would lie to you? It’s because you’re closed-minded and selfish. We only lied because we’re afraid of you harming Kaitlyn.” Instead of being angered, I laughed. “Kaitlyn isn’t married. Who’s the father of the child?” Aaron and Kaitlyn silently exchanged a gaze. Kaitlyn said, “The father of my child is a mysterious, powerful figure. We have to keep it a secret.”

He was resolved and determined, but wasn’t he underestimating me too much? Did he forget how capable I was? Did he forget how big of a stunt I pulled? Must I make him remember how scheming and cunning of a woman I was? Jett… my love. We both had our demons to fight and it seems we’ve been too easy on them. “Jett,” I called, my eyes blazing with newfound mischief. “It’s time for one last deception. Together, the three of us, against the world.” He frowned as a slow, knowing smile curled on my lips.

As far as I was concerned, I wasn't worth him sacrificing his relationship for. Beside me, Mirage's laptop held another damning piece of evidence – a video of their wedding ceremony. I hesitated before pressing play, bracing myself for the emotional turmoil that awaited. The screen flickered to life, displaying the vows they exchanged, the laughter shared, and the promises made. It was a charade, a performance masking the treachery that lurked beneath the surface.

“Brother, you must return home now.” “Can’t you see I’m busy?” Uren growled. “Who allowed you to barge into the council meeting?” “Brother…She’s…she’s gone into heat.” “Impossible! She hadn’t gone into one in five decades.” He caught the guard’s collar. “Stop the nonsense now,” he growled in a low voice. Aluxious blinked. The prophecy, was true. The women going into heat was a sign. A smile stretched his lips. “Brother, trust me. It’s not just her. Almost every mated woman is going into heat. She’s…We had to tie her up because she started to destroy our home. She’s not stable.”

“No. You made choices because you don’t trust me. Because somewhere, deep down, you still think I’m fragile enough to break if you told me the truth.” He ran a hand through his wet hair. “That’s not fair.” “No, what’s not fair is me having to find out about the deals you’re making in my name from Alexei.” His jaw tightened. “ I screwed up, but I had my reasons. Alexie, he's just trying to manipulate you” “Don’t dare change the topic,” I said, voice shaking. “Do you think I’m dumb? That I can’t see what’s happening? Irina and Alexei are playing some twisted game, and you’re fighting back like I’m a prize to be won.”

I go to my room and check the CCTV footage in his room and suddenly a smile breaks into my face, I miss him already but he need his rest. I quietly go to his room checking his condition, I caress his face and place a kiss on his forehead and I felt peace beside him. How I wish that it will last forever. I know that our start was a bit off and out of place because of the misunderstanding, but what I felt for him was true. Maybe I was only attracted to Mike and confused it by love, but for Lucas I know it's beyond different.

he said. I stared at him, “Declan, this is a grievous thing to say, not only are you going way out of your way, but you are insinuating that an alpha had planned treason, this could cause war,” I said. My eyes widened, this was Declan, master of mischief, this might be one of his many tricks, but he had sworn on our mother that he wouldn’t. “I know, that is where the decoy azelea comes into place, no one knows anything about what is found and the best way to catch a thief…”

"After you sanitized your hands like I was diseased!" Henry's head snaps toward Declan. Something dangerous flashes in his eyes. "You did what?" "She's lying," Declan scoffs, but there's a flicker of uncertainty in his face. "Like you lied about what happened to the last waitress you harassed?" Henry's voice is deadly quiet. "The one I had to pay off to keep quiet?" My eyes widen. So the rumors about Henry being different were true. "This isn't about me," Declan deflects. "Your fiancée is an impostor. A cheap replacement probably paid to - "
