Ryker returned to the palace, but it wasn't a happy homecoming. The air was thick with tension as he stormed inside, his face twisted in anger. Emilia followed him, worried sick. She was afraid of his temper, but she had to know what was wrong.

"Ryker, please," she said, her voice shaking.

"Where did you go? You disappeared without saying a word! I was so worried about you."

Ryker turned around, his angry look making Emilia stop talking.

"That's enough," he said sharply. "You're asking too many questions. I don't have to tell you anything." Emilia opened her mouth to say something, but Ryker stopped her with a wave of his hand.

“I have better things to do than sharing words with you” he said and walked away, heading to his room, and left Emilia standing alone in the hallway, feeling shocked, sad, and hurt.

Emilia's hands curled into fists, and tears welled up in her eyes.

There are a lot of irregularities and discrepancies that I'm still trying to make sense of."Elisa's expression turned stern. "Irregularities? What kind of irregularities?"Akira hesitated, her voice barely above a whisper. "It looks like... someone has been embezzling funds from the company. I'm not sure who or how, but the evidence is there."Elisa's eyes narrowed, her jaw clenched in anger. "I want to see the evidence. Now."Akira nodded hastily and scurried over to a nearby desk, where she began rummaging through a stack of papers. After a moment, she produced a thick folder filled with financial reports and handed it to Elisa.Elisa took the folder and began flipping through its contents, her eyes scanning the pages with a mixture of anger and disgust.

    As the light Flickered on, Elisa came into view, kneeling on the floor, tears streaming down her face. Alpha Blaze watched her with an unreadable expression. Judy, the Alpha’s sister, sneered.“Stop crying like a fool! We all saw you with that man in your bed, and he was practically on top of you!”Elisa crumpled to the floor as Judy pushed her. “I swear, I don’t know how he got to my room!” Elisa sobbed, desperation showing on her face.Alpha Blaze’s smirk deepened, his eyes glinting with a mix of amusement and disdain.Elisa feels isolated and unloved in the palace, especially by her husband’s family.“You think we’re fools like you?” Kayla, Blaze’s mother, shouted, her voice echoing through the room. “Or do you think I haven’t seen you sneaking around with that same man for days?”Elisa’s cries grew louder, her body shaking uncontrollably. “ I didn’t do it, please believe me, Blaze!” she begged, but her words fell on deaf ears.Just as it seemed like the situation couldn’t get wors

Are you seriously doing this, Elisa?” He asked, his tone laced with disdain.Freya exchanged a swift glance with Judy, a satisfied smile spreading across her face.“You invited me to the old Luna’s birthday party and assured me we wouldn’t be caught,” the man said, his words dripping with malice.Elisa’s face fell as she sat down, defeated.

"Please, just leave me alone, Emilia," Ryker said dismissively, striding away. Emilia's face fell, hurt by his brusque tone. She hesitated, then followed him. "Ryker, wait! What's wrong? You're scaring me," Emilia called out. Ryker's pace quickened, his silence a stark contrast to Emilia's growing unease.
