Leslie had been mated to Nathan for four years. On their anniversary day, she catches him in bed with her best friend. She is humiliated and heartbroken, but instead of getting an apology or explanation, she is met with divorce papers which he threw at her. After she signs it, she swears to get back at the two of them for betraying her. Five years later, Leslie returns—no longer the broken woman he cast aside, but a billionaire. Nathan, now desperate and full of regret, will stop at nothing to win her back. But Leslie isn’t the same woman who once begged for his love. But love, hatred, and revenge are a dangerous mix. As Nathan fights to reclaim what he lost, dark secrets unravel—secrets that threaten not just their fragile bond but the life of the son he never knew existed. Will Leslie ever forgive him? Or will the ghosts of the past destroy any chance of redemption?
Lihat lebih banyak_Maria’s POV_As the morning arrived, sunlight filled the mansion's windows. The house came to life with quiet sounds, birds chirping, servants moving around, hushed voices, and the clinking of dishes as the dining table was being set for breakfast.I walked quietly through the hallways, listening carefully. When I entered the dining room, I smelled freshly brewed coffee, croissants, pies and cakes. Leslie was already seated with her son.I sat down across from Leslie and her son, hiding my dislike for her. I wasn’t even looking at the servants I didn’t even care about them but that’s when I noticed her. A maid.She was moving through the room, pouring coffee and service Marcus some cakes. Her movements were smooth like she had been doing this for a long time, but that was not what caught my gaze. It was her eyes that caught my attention .she was staring at Leslie.But not like how the other servants looked at her. Not with admiration. Not with respect. But With hatred.The kind
_Leslie’s POV_I felt uneasy as I moved through the hallways of my home, my heart pounding in my ears.Where could Marcus be?I had only stepped away for a few minutes to get some water. A few damn minutes. He had been playing in the living room, completely safe until now.My heart tightened. What’s going on. I let out a low growl. It wasn’t like him to just wander off on his own. My son was careful, obedient. If he wasn’t in the living room, then just where.I quickened my steps, my breath coming in short bursts. It was a big house and I needed to cover up the grounds as all the staffs had gone to bed and I did not want to disturb them. And then.I heard it.A soft voice followed by.Laughter. Coming from my study. I pushed the door wide open and was shocked bywhat I saw.Maria. She was crouched down in front of Marcus, her fingers gently playing with his curls, and a sweet smile on her face. My stomach turned up side down at the sight of her kneeling in front of my child, spe
_Maria’s Pov_I sank deeper into the plush guest bed, my fingers running over the silk sheets as I enjoyed the softness. A slow smile crept across my lips as I murmured. “Foolish, Leslie. So foolish.”I had expected resistance. Expected to be tossed out on the streets after my little performance. But instead, Leslie had let me in. Just like that. I giggled, staring at the beautiful wall in my view.I let out a soft laugh while shaking my head. “She’s still the same. Still too weak, too soft, too emotional. Still too damn easy to manipulate. What a stupid bitch.”Leslie may have thought she had the upper hand, that she was the one in control, but I knew better. “This time, I’ll be the one to destroy her. Slowly and Painfully. I’ll hurt her in different ways. I bet she won’t even see coming.”I had spent years suffering, years crawling through the filth Nathan had left me in. Alone, Betrayed, and Forgotten. Meanwhile, Leslie had built a new life for herself one filled with so much lux
Leslie exhaled slowly, her sharp eyes fluttered opened, scanning Maria’s face, searching for any trace of deception. Five minutes. That was all she had agreed to. Five minutes to let this woman, this traitor speak before she threw her out for good. Maria sat on the edge of the grand sofa in Leslie’s living room, her fingers shaking as she gripped the edge of her wrinkled dress. Her once confident posture was gone, replaced by a nervous, fragile presence that almost made Leslie smirk. Almost. Leslie leaned back in her chair, arms crossed, her claws still slightly extended. “You have exactly five minutes. Talk.” Maria swallowed hard, so hard that you could hear the sound echo in the living room. nodding quickly she said. “I know you hate me, an— and you have every reason to. I—I was horrible to you, I hurt you in ways I could never take back.” Her voice cracked as she wiped her tear swollen face. “But I need you to know, Leslie… it wasn’t entirely my fault.” Leslie’s gaze darke
Leslie stood frozen at the bottom of the staircase, finding the air to be Suffocating as she turned pale red. Half shifted, her claws rolled into a tight fists as she stared at the woman before her. Maria. The name alone sent a flood of boiling rage through Leslie’s veins. It was as if the air in the room had suddenly turned thick, suffocating her, choking her with the weight and pressure of a past she had fought so hard to put away. What the actual fuck is she doing here?Maria stood just beyond the entrance, her dark hair hanging in a messy wave around her ugly looking face. Her once perfect features were spoiled by exhaustion, her eyes empty, pleading. She was thinner than Leslie remembered, her clothes wrinkled and helplessly clinging to her body as if she had been running for miles. And for a brief moment, leslie wanted to smile. “Good,” she thought bitterly. “She deserves to suffer.”But then Leslie remembered why she had once called her the title best friend, how the
_Leslie’s Pov_Days passed, they were slow and agonizing. With each passing day I told myself I wouldn’t think about him, and I wouldn’t care if I never saw him again. But those were just lies I told myself so I could feel strong. Nathan had left. And the longer he stayed away, the more restless I became. I tried to convince myself that I was happy he was finally gone, that him leaving was a blessing, a chance to finally clear my head and forget about him. But every time I closed my eyes, I see his face, his gaze, and his pained expression as I turned my back on him. My hash words echoed in my mind, haunting me. "You could die for all I care." Oh no I didn’t mean it. I never meant it. But I said it. And now, I had no way of taking it back. I stumped around in my bedroom late at night, my arms wrapped around my breast, trying to fight the tension growing in my heart. Each day that passed without a word from him made the feeling grow worse. Was he alright? Did he get back to Gr
_Leslie’s Pov_As I lay on the ground, my heart pumping as fast as it could, and my skin slick with sweat, all I could think about was the sheer bliss of the sex we'd just had. Every other thought, every nagging doubt, every wound from our troubled past, melted away. For a moment, I was transported back to a time when our love was new, and our hearts were full of hope and promise.I forgot about the pain he had caused me, the tears I cried, the sleepless nights I endured, wondering if I would ever be free of him. All I could think about was the way he touched me, the way he made me feel. It was like no time had passed at all, like we were never been apart.For a moment, I let myself believe that I was in love with him again, that all the heartache and anger had been washed away by the sheer force of our desire for each other. It was a fragile feeling, but it was there, a spark of hope that refused to die.But I knew I couldn't stay in this moment forever. Reality would intrude, event
As Leslie’s eyes fluttered opened, she took a look at her surroundings and realized it was not a dream. She was indeed trapped in a dresser with Nathan.Nathan’s grip tightened as he pulled her closer. His breath hot against her ear, sending shivers down her spine. “You’re mine Les, all mine and I won’t let you go.” Leslie couldn’t tell what she wanted. Unsure whether to run or surrender. All she wanted that minute was to taste his wet lips.She smacked her lips and gently whispered. “Fuck, fuck you Nathan.” Her voice was weak, lacking any real bite to her bark. Nathan’s laughter was low and husky, his body leaning into hers. “You say that but your body tells me something else. I can see your knees trembling Les, Let me help with that.”She felt his hands go down to her ankle and slowly he began running up her legs. Leslie struggled with her emotions. That minute she had to decide what she wanted, give into her desires or flee.“No, no, no.” She cried out. “ I won’t do this with you N
Staring at the spot where Nathan stood, Leslie couldn’t help but wonder why he had that sad look in his eyes. The thought kept creeping into her mind, and all she could feel was anger and hatred for him. “I should be the one sad,” she said to herself. “Not him, he has no right to be sad after everything. He can’t just waltz in here all sad and angry when it was my life that was ruined.”With her hand held up, Leslie kept hitting her head, trying to process why all this happened to her. But she was interrupted by a loud commotion coming from the main gate. A loud voice yelling her name echoed through the air.“Leslie, Leslie, I have come to see my Leslie, let me see my Leslie now, Les, Les,” the voice said. She recognized the voice instantly. It was the voice of Nathan.With no time wasted, she quickly zoomed off to the scene to find out what was going on. On approaching the gate, she could see five guards holding him down while some were on the ground, all beat up.“Les, Les,” Nathan
Staring at the pregnancy kit in her hand, Leslie couldn’t help but scream in excitement.“Emelda! Emelda!” She called out her sister’s name, running out of the bathroom. Emelda rushed into her room at the same time, a worried look on her face.The moment she saw Leslie smiling, she stood at a place, placing one hand on her hip, “So what happened this time around that warranted you to disturb my peace? It better be good ‘cause you can’t have me running to your room for nothing.”From the thin line on her lips, anyone could tell she was annoyed but Leslie knew this good news would excite her.“I’m waiting.”Taking in and letting out a deep breath, she flashed the kit to her face. “I’m pregnant, Ems!”Leslie had been mated and married to the pack’s Alpha for four years without a child to show for it. Alpha Nathan had started to distance himself from her for this reason and so that was the reason she came back to her family house to take a little break.Emelda didn’t seem to be as joyful ...
