Today's party is on a smaller scale than the party on my wedding day with Darian. However, the guests all arrived very full. Maybe it was because they respected Alpha Harold that they came to this party.When the party started, Darian and I appeared from the stairs going down. He and I were both dressed in splendid vestments. Under the twinkling lights, our beauty shines even more. Everyone seemed overwhelmed as soon as they saw us.When my hand wrapped around Darian's arm, I still smiled delicately at everyone on the outside, but inside I was highly insecure and panicking.I saw Luna Layla standing beside Alpha Harold. Her face darkened, her eyes filled with anger. No one saw Luna Layla's strange behavior because everyone was focused on Darian and me. At this point, I am more confident that Luna Layla is the one who masterminded the destruction of my vestment.My and Darian's dance under the lights opened the party, just like at our wedding reception. His masculine scent filled my no
The moment I thought I would die, Titus's hand let go of my neck. I fell to the ground, tears, and snot flowing out of my eyes uncontrollably. I greedily inhaled a lot of air to compensate for the lost oxygen. Right now, I don't care what's going on around me. It seemed that Titus was fighting with someone.Soon, my arm was grabbed by a large, cold hand, pulling me to my feet. My steps were wobbly, soft, without any strength, so that I couldn't stand. My body wobbled, falling into someone's hard chest.A familiar masculine scent entered the tip of my nose and calmed my panic. My neck ached, but I raised my head, seeing the perfect angle of Darian's face.My heart suddenly skipped a beat. My mind was filled with images of Darian.Suddenly, Darian's cold gaze glanced at me, startling me and my spirit returning to consciousness. His cold and clear eyes made my heart tremble involuntarily.I was embarrassed, so I rolled my eyes, avoiding his gaze. At this moment, I saw the struggling imag
After the party at Moon Castle, I returned to my usual quiet life at Darian's mansion. One month has passed. The reason I was able to live peacefully was because I didn't step out of the mansion at all. I know that if I go out, there are people who are mean to me who may criticize and harm me. Therefore, I don't want to leave the mansion without the necessary events.I thought long and hard about apologizing to Darian, but I didn't get a chance to apologize to him because, since the time we had a party at Moon Castle, I hadn't seen him even once. He wants to avoid me, so he doesn't return to his mansion anymore. That made me very sad.Although hanging around in the mansion, I didn't feel bored because I was used to living alone in Dead Forest. The living environment and adverse effects of people in Dead Forest have turned me from an active person to a closed person. Sometimes moments alone are the happiest and most comfortable times.More than that, now I don't live alone. I was havin
I went into the toilet and carefully closed the door. Then, I opened my bag; inside was still full of my belongings, and a beautiful, sparkling bracelet was only in a small compartment. I just saw that the bracelet is expensive because it has many diamonds.I narrowed my eyes, confident that this was a plot to affect my honor.If I knew someone harmed me, I could not continue to carry this bracelet out, but I thought for a while and still didn't know where to put this bracelet.I couldn't stay in the toilet for too long to avoid suspicion, so I had to leave.I watched everyone at the party. A pair of eyes silently see me. I quickly realized it was a girl's gaze. When I looked in her direction, she quickly turned away, avoiding my gaze.I can tell she's Wendy's friend who was with Wendy last time, and her name is Emily. I didn't look at Emily glaringly. I silently walked over to the food stall beside her, my gaze involuntarily falling on her a few times. My actions are natural and do n
All eyes here are focused on me, creating an invisible pressure that makes my heart feel heavy. If a person with a weak mentality were to fall into this situation, they would probably tremble and feel weak, sweaty, and nervous. Still, I remained indifferent, as if I was not the one being noticed.I coldly replied, "I didn't steal Wendy's bracelet. There may be some misunderstanding, but I'm sure I've never seen that bracelet."Wendy said, "No thief admits to being a thief. Surely my bracelet is on your body. I want to find it."Wendy said and looked at Luna Layla. Luna Layla immediately asked the servants to ransack me. The two servants at the back of the crowd hurried to my place.At this point, I was furious. I thundered, "Wait a minute!"The servant was taken aback and didn't dare to touch my body momentarily. I told Luna Layla, "Wendy has no concrete proof that I stole her bracelet. If you let people ransack me, you insult me, lowering my dignity. I do not accept that."The play i
Darian's POV"It's just a small thing; I can do it for you. You have been busy all day today; you should take a break to regain your health. If you try again, you might get sick." Logan tried to persuade me. His voice showed helplessness because he knew he couldn't change my mind no matter how hard he tried."A little thing won't make me sick. Do not worry. I'll be back for a bit; then I'll be right back here." I said calmly. It was when I talked to Logan that I spoke so quickly.Logan sighed, giving me no further advice. His expression clearly showed confusion to express the question of why I suddenly wanted to return to my mansion today.I know what Logan is wondering, but I don't want to explain it. I quickly drove back to my mansion.I told Logan earlier that I wanted to return to the mansion to get new clothes, but only I knew what I wanted to do. I learned about Sharmaine getting into trouble at a party a few days ago. I was surprised she could handle those things gently without
Sharmaine's POVWhen I woke up, my head was hefty. It felt like a heavy rock was on my head. I didn't expect that sweet fruit wine could also make me so drunk that I lost consciousness. I went to the bathroom to wash my face to wake up.A few fragments of memories from last night flashed through my head. I was in shock, but then I quickly denied it was true. I'm sure it was just a dream. A nightmare that made me highly embarrassed.After washing up, I went to the kitchen to have breakfast. Maya happily greeted me. She finished preparing breakfast for me. Usually, I would wake up at five in the morning to go jogging, but I woke up late today due to being drunk yesterday.I was already filled with questions about seeing Darian last night. Although I tried to deny it, I still needed solid proof. So I asked Maya, "Hmm, did anything happen last night? After I got drunk, did you take me back to my room?"Maya is cleaning the kitchen. She stopped when I asked and replied, "No. Sir Darian and
"Erza, please sit next to Darian." Luna Layla spoke up.Her strange words stopped everyone without time to sit at the table. Luna Layla's intentions are obvious. She's trying to get Erza and Darian closer together.I smiled bitterly in my heart, feeling that Luna Layla was in a hurry. Initially, after a year, he and I would divorce; as long as she waited for a year, she could look for a new wife for Darian, but now she can't wait anymore. She hated me so much that she wanted to find someone to replace me and kicked me out of the Pack.I peeked at Erza. She looked shyly at Darian as if waiting for Darian to pull up a chair for her. I glanced at Darian again. He didn't object, pulling a chair to invite Erza to sit.My heart throbbed a little. I lowered my head to hide my mood."Sit down!" Suddenly, Darian leaned close to my ear and whispered. His voice is small, but everyone can hear it.I blinked, eyes widening at him. After that, I quickly sat down before I had time to recover. Darian
