Tabitha's POV

The second Derek mentioned the cake, I knew immediately what he was referring to. Back then, he doted on me so much that I felt as if the luckiest woman in the world.

That year, I clamored for a bespoke cake before my birthday. The cake had a very special shape, and it came along with extremely expensive ingredients.

It cost over a hundred grand.

It was more like a work of art than a cake.

When Derek brought it to me, there were supposed to be two crystal swans with their necks intertwined, but one of the swans' heads fell on the cake.

I didn't make a fuss. I just had a bad feeling as if it was foretelling something.

Derek kept apologizing to me. After a few days, I received a cake in the shape of a swan castle.

    Tabitha suddenly twisted the acupuncture needle with force. Daphne was instantly silenced, her only sound a tormented whimper.Tabitha looked at Daphne and slowly said, "Miss Sutton, some things cannot be erased with just an 'I didn't mean it.' Just like the dead can never be brought back to life."Daphne looked into Tabitha's eyes. She felt a strangely familiar pang, yet she was certain she had never seen this face before.She said despairingly, "So what do you want me to do? The man is dead. Fine, I'll go join him! Why are you even saving me?"Tabitha replied, "Because the living should have the pain the dead suffered forever carved into their soul.""Who are you? Grandpa, I don't want her treating me anymore."Daphne felt a primal terror. She saw a hatred directed at her—and the shadow of Tabitha—in this woman's eyes.Tabitha vanished without a trace after she left. Some said she was already dead.Even if she was

  • Alpha's Wife Hunt   Chapter 859

What did Tabitha do wrong?Now, she didn't have a father anymore.John had been so excited about her twins, but he died before he ever got to see their faces.Tabitha blamed Daphne for all of it.

    "This jerk! Does he not see where we are?"Tabitha was clearly annoyed, giving him a scolding look.Derek, however, deliberately licked the fingertip that Tabitha had just touched, and whispered, "That grape was pretty sweet."His move instantly reminded Tabitha of a seductive character from a classic movie. Derek was in a crisp suit, looking completely reserved, yet the action was incredibly provocative!Tabitha couldn't help it. She was biting the grape and some juice accidentally leaked from the corner of her mouth.Seeing this, Derek propped one hand on the sofa armrest, used the other to hook her chin, and leaned in for a kiss.Tabitha's eyes instantly widened. "Seriously? What is he doing?"She was here for revenge, and he was using it as an opportunity for a secret thrill?Was Derek that unrestrained beneath the surface?The kiss was soft and lingering, the sweet grape juice spreading between their lips.Ju

    Derek finally remembered he was here under the pretense of visiting Daphne. He finally looked at her.After years, Daphne was noticeably thinner, her complexion sickly pale. She sat in the wheelchair, looking up at him with pitiful eyes.If this were before, Derek might have shown her some compassion for Randall's sake. But remembering all the suffering Tabitha went through, he felt no sympathy. He just asked coldly, "Long time no see. How have you been?""How have I been?"Daphne's life was bleak and miserable, with every day dragging on.But she could only choke back tears and say, word by word, "I... I'm fine.""Alpha Derek, don't worry. I'm taking care of my sister; nothing bad will happen to her," Calvin interjected, successfully drawing Derek's attention.Derek was aware of the recent changes in the Amber's Eye Pack. His memory of Calvin was from childhood—a scrawny, sickly kid. He never expected him to grow up to be the m

    Tabitha wanted to cover her ears, listening to the vulgar language coming from inside the room.She saw Daphne covering her face with both hands. Tears streamed silently through her fingers. She kept whispering Derek's name, over and over.What a pair of psychos.Derek arrived quickly. Tabitha had planned to leave and come back another day.She felt it would be weird to run into Derek in this situation.But before she could say goodbye to Alpha Elliott, Derek rushed in with a couple of his people.Years ago, Daphne had done so many terrible things, causing the deaths of Mark and his wife and John.

    Derek immediately hung up.Daphne's sickly face lit up instantly, like a dying person's last surge of energy.Tabitha glanced at Calvin, who intentionally looked away.But the cold glint in his eyes was caught by Tabitha."Looks like Derek isn't the only one who's crazy."Daphne's face was full of joy. She grabbed Alpha Elliott's hand. "Grandpa, did you hear that? Derek is coming to see me! This outfit is too old. I need to wear a new dress."Tabitha took the opportunity to speak up. "Since Miss Sutton is so busy, I'm leaving now."Everyone immediately panicked when they heard Tabitha was leaving."No, no! I worked so hard to find you! You can't leave! My granddaughter's leg depends on you!" Alpha Elliott pleaded anxiously."Yes, Dr. Vanessa, please check her leg first! Miss Sutton, this is Dr. Vanessa, the one I told you about. She's excellent and specializes in multiple fields! She just said she could get you back on y
