She looks like me

While butler was helping me to gather my things, I put off the eye lens. My natural eyes that I had been hiding since I was a kid finally got exposed in front of the butler.

A soft gasped echoed in the room. I turned towards Butler's direction when Butler approached me a bit closely.

" Miss. Are those your real eyes?" He sounded like he saw something unimaginable. His mouth was opened with mixed emotions.

My face turned pale. Usually I didn't let anyone see my eyes. They're the rarest. Usually Blue, Golden and Brown eyes are common here.

Alessandro's eye color was magical. When his color changed like the season. His eyes stayed brownish golden when he was calm. But when he got excited or angry, his eyes turned Golden like a Burning flame.

" Oh! Yeah. Are they weird? Sorry. I got it from my mother. A drop of blue in the center of silver eyes. I don't like them actually!" I chuckled while checking my eyes. Those eyes that made my life hell.

I put the dark brown lenses on my eyes before smiling... " I used to be bullied because of my eyes and me being a human. So I don't keep those eyes exposed!"

Butler's fingers shook when he slowly asked, " Does Master know about those eyes?" He asked, staring at my eyes profoundly.

" No. I am not allowed to put the blue eye lenses off in front of him. Though I think he will be rather disgusted by my eyes!"

" N-No! You may... I mean... You should show him-"

" It's not in the contract!" I cut him off. My voice was cold.

I forced a smile but my smile didn't reach my eyes, and it made him shut his mouth.

" And I would prefer if you keep it yourself instead of saying anything. My eyes shouldn't be anyone's concern, right?"

Carl's eyes widened. However there was a flicker of hesitation and some emotions that I couldn't identify. But it was sure that he was shaken by my eyes.

It was weird. Why would I tell Alessandro about my real eyes? Especially those eyes that never stopped bringing bad luck in my life.

I kept gathering a few things like my skincare products and a few clothes to scrape by. Butler seemed to have become eerily silently for a while.

Then,

" What will you do after the divorce?" Butler asked, his voice was gentler than usual. But there was hesitation in his tone. For some reason he looked anxious.

But his question felt like a knife twisting in my heart. We had finally arrived at the end of this contract marriage. And it felt like drowning in an ocean of ice water.

The marriage... Maybe Alessandro didn't hold any value for this relationship in his mind but it was my first marriage and first time falling in love. So the word Divorce felt like someone tearing my heart apart from my body.

" Well, Mr Alessandro has given me enough to scrape by for a while. Also I have been thinking about leaving the Packs and heading to the human world. Now I got money. So I want to live where I belong!"

" But you are truly not a human, are you? Your Wolf can appear anytime!" He asked in concern. But I was a human not even an Omega. That was a reason for everything, right?

" That's possible. But I am already 25 years old. I don't even consider myself a late boomer! Not even an Omega" I chuckled, grabbing the suitcase. " Also nothing would change even if my Wolf returns!"

He looked surprised but nodded with agreement. " You are strong enough to have a Beta Wolf, Miss. I don't think you will be an Omega!"

" Neither is suitable for me. Human is fine. I have embraced my life with my own identity!" I smiled assuringly.

At least Omegas can fight with their wolves. Humans don't even have a Wolf. Since I didn't even manifest after I turned 18, I was announced as Human. I wasn't allowed to meet the Moon Goddess who regularly appeared in every New Moon, brightening the dark sky. She would offer her blessing to everyone.

And she never came to me. Maybe I wasn't a favorite of her like her other children.

That was why maybe I didn't find my mate or my Wolf.

" I see. Anyway, Nova will attend as your personal servant and will accompany you to the penthouse for three weeks. Master may visit you. So please keep it in mind that the contract will be nullified the moment you sign the divorce papers. Till then, your job is to pretend as his wife and obey his words like usual!" His eyes filled with sadness as he announced like a broken radio.

I chuckled hearing his shaky words. " Don't be sad, Butler Uncle. The first thing you should concentrate on is your Master's happiness. Now I can leave the place and live a life as my own. Not someone else!"

" I am sorry, Madam!"

Madam? My eyes widened when he called me that. Alessandro had forbidden everyone to call me Madam. Only Evelyn, the truth wife had that right to be called Madam.

When I came here for the first time, they called me Madam and Alessandro got so angry that he punished them by cancelling their long weekend trip.

So they never called me anything.

" Thank you!" I muttered... " But I don't deserve such a heavy title." I grabbed my suitcase and walked towards the door. " Stay healthy. We might cross the road soon!"

I smiled, opening the door. Although it felt so heavy to move away from the house I spent three years, I knew that it was foreseeable the moment I signed my name on the contract.

But my eyes widened when I noticed Alessandro standing behind the door and holding his hand, Evelyn was staring at me with a smile.

Alessandro's face was dark as if he was hating himself standing before me. But Evelyn, she looked unbothered... No, kinda amused.

" So she is your wife, Alessandro! She looks like me!" Her voice was light as feathers but heavy with a condescending tone.

    I was too shocked to utter a word when Evelyn came towards me and her eyes scanned me as if she was trying to check some products in the mall. Before I could react, her hand reached my neck, removing the strand of hair from my shoulder. " Oh!" She gasped as if she saw something horrifying. Did she notice the hickeys? No. I had already covered them with concealer. " Alessandro!" She turned to Alessandro who had that grim expression. " Luna Simmons said you have been married for three years and still didn't mark your wife? You know this is torture for a wolf. You should mark her!" Her tone was fluffy, adorable but her eyes on me. Maybe I was jealous or her or I didn't like her. But her gaze on me looked like she was looking down on me and happy to see me unmarked. My eyes widened when she rubbed my neck with a smirk on her face and said, " You should mark her, Alessandro. Such a beautiful wife you found in my place!" She was saying one thing but her smile was carrying anot

    " Master will find out that you have been cooking for him. What are you going to do?" The Chef, A decent Wolf, Carol asked before passing me the cheese and onion. Since I had been hiding the fact that I cooked his meals, he might recognize. But who cared? I did no longer had to act like her anyway. I smiled, shaking my head as I felt something inside my stomach. I couldn't stand the smell for some reason. " I will cook something that is from the northern fortress. They use more spice than the other regions!" I explained while placing the mozzarella aside. The moment I cracked an egg open, the distinct scent stirred my stomach and my hand immediately reached my mouth. "Ms Scarlet! Are you alright?" She asked, patting my back. " What's wrong?" " I am fine! It's just... I hate the scent of Greasy food!" I tried to laugh but Carol's words caught me off guard. " Miss. Please pardon me if I cross my line.

    "Make some mango sorbet for her!" Alessandro's voice kept ringing in my head since I started cooking for Evelyn. Even Carl was shocked when Evelyn kept rejecting all the food I cooked for her and kept whining to Alessandro.The entire kitchen counter was filled with unfinished dishes that she didn't even touch once. However, to make her happy, Alessandro kept pestering me to cook for them.The more I stayed near the kitchen, cooking food, the worse my nausea turned.After preparing the sorbet, I walked into the dining room once again. My ankles were hurting after wearing high heels. My time to act like Evelyn had finished, but I forgot to take them off, out of habit."Here is the sorbet!" I placed the bowl on the table, watching Alessandro's warm expression that was only for his first love.It felt like a cliché movie, watching another person's life. However, it was a bit heartbreaking that he would rather wait for her than move on."Finally!" She looked at me, her smirk deepening. "O

  • Escaping From My Ruthless Husband   Can't stay alone

    My chest tightened, tears fighting to escape. Alessandro's demeanor had changed, turning more ruthless by the second. Evelyn's words had pushed him to the brink. She was clearly flaunting about her mate, clearly unbothered by her actions five years ago. Alessandro got no one but me to vent his frustration. He hadn't been joking when he said he would drag me out if I was pregnant. The coldness in his eyes, the mercilessness in his voice—none of it had been a lie.Slowly, I shut the door behind me and grabbed the pregnancy kit from the counter. My fingers trembled as I stared at it, my mind spiraling with every possibility. If I was pregnant, he would force me to get an abortion. If I wasn't... I would be safe. But deep down, I knew that either way, I was already broken. A part of me desperately wished I was pregnant. A child of my own blood and flesh could be the reason to keep going in this lonely world.But reality was cruel. I decided to check anyway, to find out the truth I was

    Mauve Scarlet, The wind brushed past my face, as my ginger red hair danced over my shoulders. Nibbling the pencil, I watched the black swan, swimming in the lake all alone. The small waves around it made me smile despite the turmoil in my mind. The swan was alone but at least it was free. It didn't need to give away its identity and freedom in exchange for money. Painting and sketching is my hobby. But after the marriage to Alessandro, my dream has turned into a wishful dream for a long time. "Mistress! Master has returned. He is wishing your presence in his study!" Grace, the head maid calmly notified, keeping a certain distance from me. Her eyes flickered to the sketch before lowering her gaze with a swift, rehearsed move. She tucked her hair behind her ear as the wind blew past her strongly. "Thank you for informing me!" I politely nodded and started gathering my stuff. "Let me do it!" Grace grabbed everything and gave an awkward smile, "It will be best if Master does

    After another torturous moment of pleasure and pain, Alessandro got up and walked towards the bathroom. I remained in the bed, trying to forget the pain or rather I should say that I was trying to avoid the pain in my body, while reaching out to the nightstand. "Tomorrow is our three year anniversary!" I said calmly, holding the invitation card from his family. Despite being in pain, I needed to do what I was supposed to do. Obeying his orders and acting like his wife when I was nothing but a placeholder in his eyes were my job. Slowly I got up. The first thing I did was to put some concealer on my neck and collarbone. Although I wasn't marked, I couldn't show people those hickeys. Alessandro hated it. "So what? Are you trying to get some sort of special attention from me?" He asked in disdain. "I dare not!" I muttered, lowering my gaze, "Your parents sent a formal invitation card to join them in a lavish party. Cruise Party precisely! They're expecting both of us to atte
