After Divorce, I Became A Top Streamer! 67: When Time Paused
ALEXANDERI woke up to a nasty ache in my head, like I'd barely survived the night. I opened my eyes but it still felt like a veil was cast over my vision and I wasn't seeing quite right yet.What the hell? I sat up and slowly started to take note of my surroundings. It wasn't a room I was familiar with, at all. If anything, it looked like a prison cell. Blank white wall, a tall, brown wardrobe at the other end of the wall, and the king-sized bed atop which I was seated.My vision circled back to me and I was indeed wrapped like shawarma by the white blankets. I couldn't feel my clothes. I rubbed my face with my palms and groaned out loudly. “Fuck!” I spilled into the silence. I'd fucked up. I'd fucked up real time. That reality crashed in when my memories started to piece together and the truth was what I didn't want to believe. I was at Alaina's.How fucking convenient. I sat up and cussed loudly again, kicking the damn blanket off just to stand and pace the room in my boxers.The
After Divorce, I Became A Top Streamer! 68: Indecision
ALAINAI've never been more conflicted. It had been hours since Alexander left and his words still stuck in my mind, endlessly haunting me. I was supposed to meet Lorraine in thirty minutes to talk about my decision but I haven't been able to leave the dining table.Alexander's scent still lingered. Perhaps, I was hallucinating but I could almost see him. Oh jeez. The decision would have been easier if we hadn't spent this morning together.Was I going to be at the ball at all or would I be going as Queen Of Dawn? Or should I completely ruin it all and go as Alaina?He picks me out amongst the crowd and the council finally votes him out for choosing an Omega? “Get over yourself, Alaina!” I mean, I'd done this over and over again. I knew this dance and in no universe had an Alpha successfully married an Omega. It weakened the bloodline and wrecked the Pack's reputation. I wasn't about to do that to Alexander over my own selfishness.I stood up and hurriedly took my bath. I was meetin

ALAINALogan?Outside my home and it wasn't my own damned imagination. I was frozen in that spot for a while, just gawking blankly at him, unable to snap into reality that he was actually there— just a few steps away from me.I squinted and turned fully to him. He looked like the ghost of his past self. Lean and gaunt like he'd been experiencing hell wherever he was but that wasn't my business right now.My business was— why was he here?! What was he doing here? He walked closer, his steps hesitant as he approached me with quivering lips as though he was having a hard time choosing what to say, just as I was having a hard time processing whatever the hell was happening right now!My chest was filled with disgust and I furrowed my brows. “What are you doing here?” I spat, my voice louder and harsher than I intended it to be.I didn't consider him, just the fact that I didn't want to pull unnecessary attention from the passersby. He said nothing, but climbed up the pavement to be on the
After Divorce, I Became A Top Streamer! 70: Bingo!
FREYABingo!I stepped out of the corner I'd been sitting in, dreading how long I had to stay there, hiding behind a flower vase with a bucket hat on.But it was for the best, right? I mean we got what we wanted out of it and that was perfect! Logan glanced in my direction, the corner of his lips raised in a slight smirk.I knew what I had to do to get him here but it was for both our good. He stood up first and walked to the entrance, peeping to see if she'd really gone after she stormed out angrily.It was torture watching Alaina from after like I didn't want to smack her across the face for being a sly little bitch. I mean, she seduced Alexander, lived in the same building as him, and even worked as his secretary.That was madness! And because of her, he wouldn't even look me in the eye. He wouldn't even notice me. Why was that? My entire body, my soul screamed for Alexander.I'd loved him for eight years and now that it was time for my dreams to come through, I had a little wench
After Divorce, I Became A Top Streamer! 71: Messier
ALAINA“Today we decide!” “Over beer and chicken wings?” I scoffed as I fell onto the couch beside Lorraine, laying completely until my legs stretched to hers and I quietly placed them. Her dress kind of tickles, actually. Lorraine sighed tiredly, a hint of defeat in her tone and I sat up immediately.If Lorraine could sound exhausted, then I probably had no chance against it. She was the biggest energy bank I knew. I joined her in staring at the email as we had for the past hour, after spending the earlier hour cussing at Logan and his stupidity. I was pretty sure if Lorraine was there, he would have been a casualty. I ran my hands through my thick, oddly tangled hair before a defeated sigh ripped from my lips too.Seriously. What were we going to decide? Lorraine reached for a can of beer out of the tray and opened it. The liquid fizzled to the top and spilled on the table a little. She opened another and pushed it to me.I smiled in response. Responsible women shouldn't drink al

ALAINAWait a damn minute. I squinted and leaned closer to the windscreen and so did Lorraine. We were completely engrossed in whatever scene gradually unfurled before us, because— what the hell?This hotel was miles away from the pack and was the location for anyone who was trying to be secretive with their actions. But Esmeralda? It couldn't possibly be.The man in question, whom we didn't recognize had quite the ‘I’m a wealthy man' vibe that made my toes curl. He looked like someone famous and respected and for a second there, I was sure I'd seen him somewhere or met him.“What do you think she's doing here?” Lorraine asked me without turning. “I bet my last ten dollars that she'd be doing something diabolical.”“Maybe it's a meeting?” We kept our eyes on them and the entire situation flipped right before our eyes. It definitely, definitely wasn't a meeting.He wrapped his arms around Esmeralda and pulled her closer, crouching low to place a brief kiss on her lips, then it deepened
After Divorce, I Became A Top Streamer! 73: Revelation
ALEXANDERI just picked out my briefcase and had been sitting in my apartment for the past hour, waiting to see if I'd hear as much as a key jingle in the hallway but not a single noise came from her room.And she wasn't in the office either cause I'd been there. There was the option of texting to know why she wasn't at work— as her boss, but honestly? Since when had I been a boss to her? The company didn't even matter and the only reason I was there at first was to get closer to her. I stared at the suitcase one last time and sighed. Today was the last time I'd be in this room for this long, waiting. The ball was in three days and though I had a plan of my own, I wasn't quite sure I could squeeze Alaina into it if she didn't want me.That was the only difference— if she didn't want me.There was no confirmation whatsoever that she cared the way I did so why was I fighting invisible demons, struggling with feelings that weren't reciprocated? A knock came to the door and I snapped to
After Divorce, I Became A Top Streamer! 74: Revelation 2
ALAINA“This is actually insane.” Lorraine grunted as we hauled the box through the hallway of my apartment and I nodded in agreement, though I couldn't see her and wasn't close enough to see her expression.“It is. It really is.” I still haven't processed it thoroughly. The old Alpha's daughter cheating on her Beta mate? That was strong enough to hit the nine o'clock headline. “This is freaking heavy!”Whatever was inside this box weighed a ton. With little steps, we reached my door and dumped the box to the ground at the same time, like we'd thought to do it together.Lorraine caught her breath and dramatically pushed herself to the wall. “I thought I was going to lose my insides for a moment there. Like actually exploding. We should have let Adam help us!”“And risk him knowing my home?” I said in disbelief. “And maybe kill me like he'd supposedly kill his mother? Thank you, I'll pass my dear!”Lorraine giggled and I searched my purse for my key card. My eyes, for a second, roamed
