MATTIA"What's with all this chaos?" Alessio put away some of the clothes that were scattered around and looked for a room to sit in.My amber irises glanced at the clothes lying one by one. "I'm choosing a suitable uniform for Harper to wear.""Wait, what? A uniform like this?""Yup!""This kind of uniform is more suitable for maids. I thought you'd hire her as your secretary or something.""You know what? This woman is too bold! I have to teach her a few things to make her understand her limits.""Why? Did she threaten you? A woman threatened you?" Alessio's tone mocked me."Go back home damn it, why are you still here?" I protestedAlessio ruffled all the uniforms. He also picked up one that he thought was worthy for Harper to wear. The uniform is black, with short sleeves and a white collar. Likewise, the model is in the form of a dress with a knee-length pleated mane."This suits her! Wow, Mattia? If you're having fun this way, how could I go home like that? I also want to have f
HARPERWilder knows I've remarried, but I don't think he'll do anything about it. He's thrown me away; that's clearly what happened."Shit!" I cursed when dealing with charcoal on the kitchen grill. Which Mannor kitchen still uses traditional grills these days? Mattia's taste is old-fashioned.Several times, I passed by the waiter in this manner. They all wore professional clothes, which looked elegant on their bodies. I know Mattia deliberately made me wear this uniform; it's clear he wants to insult me in a subtle way."Luckily, he still gave me a comfortable room, huh? What is that? It's not like he thinks of me as a pregnant woman who has to sleep on a soft mattress, right?" I grumbled while working.I spend more energy cursing than my hands working physically. Even though Wilder didn't treat me like a wife while I was in his pack, I never had to do housework this hard.But he treated me as if I was dead. He made love to me always, with his body smelling of alcohol. Yeah, she prob
MATTIA"There are only two choices: either you think my mocktail is not delicious, or I put poison in it."I chuckled, but the sound of my laughter didn't give Harper the same pleasure. Realizing something unique about it. Every time I try to get lost in her gaze, the colour of her irises sometimes changes."This isn't funny at all, don't you think?" she replied flatly."Would you like a drink first? And see if there really is poison in it?""Oh, come on, Mattia! You got Mabel watching me like sticky gum! How could I do crazy things when I even need you!"She admitted that, and somehow, I felt proud because of her words. But of course, I didn't expect such praise from her. My head nodded, touching the mocktail glass in my hand gracefully."I'm out of the way now!" she said"Who gave you permission for that?""W-what?""I haven't told you to leave yet; I haven't even finished my mocktail yet."Coinciding with her face, which was red with emotion, I took off my clothes. It was very hot,
HARPER"He did this on purpose, right? He deliberately embarrassed me, right? I know it, I know it!" While I was cursing, Mabel handed me several sheets of paper. Can't she read the situation? Am I the annoyed one?Mattia, he really drives me almost half crazy. See the bossy way he gives orders to this and that? Holy fucking moon, he seems blind to realize that I'm pregnant."These are several important menu items that have become a consumer obligation for Mr. Mattia. You have to memorize this entire list.""What's this?" My eyes moved to the side, then down. Just looking at this writing makes me feel nauseous. "Is this the menu I have to prepare every day for Mattia?""Not every day; I mean, this is a special menu, which must be there! You understand what I mean. There must be!"My lips moved as I read the writing silently, but because the language made me feel strange, I accidentally spelt out the menu names."After hunting, he likes Mocktail drinks. For alcohol, he likes Marsala wi
MATTIAComplicated?There isn't a word like that in my dictionary. My father and mother taught us siblings differently. My mother is more critical in our personal matters, but not my father. He is a man who is really into money and hungry for power but loves his children more than his own life.The problem is that my parents and I are always at odds. Never one thought. I thought isolating myself from the country of my birth was the best choice to escape from home. Well, I'm a grown man. It's appropriate for me to leave the house.But for my mother? That is not true. My mother likes it when her children get together. We enjoyed bland hot tea together and then talked about our boring childhood."Alright, Mom! My people will pick you up at the airport!""Okay, Son, I have a surprise for you!""Suprise? You know I don't like that kind of thing!""Well, this is from me! Are you still going to say you don't like that?"My mother should have been able to hear the sound of my sighs as if she
I had the wrong focus on the dining table. There are ten chairs with a long table. A crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling. Standing still at the door, I watched Mabel arrange the dinner dishes on the table."Are you surprised by this meeting?" suddenly, Mabel taught me to speak. It seemed he was curious about my opinion about meeting Mattia's parents."This is a bit different from what I imagined!" I answered calmly, but my voice was a little low. I feared offending Mattia's extended family; after all, they weren't Werewolves with sharp hearing. I'm just being careful."Different from your previous past, what do you mean? You must have been close to your ex-husband's family before!" Mabel put down the bottle of a well-known brand of wine. Did she not think at all before saying something like that to me?My father set me up with Wilder for peace between hostile packs. I'm not even Wilder's mate, but he tried his best to get me used to his family.Wilder is an only child, the only s
My back did slam into the door, but Mattia's grip on my arm didn't hurt at all. I think he didn't use his full strength to grip me. My eyes fell on the vicious scorpion tattoo above his wrist, facing downwards."Punishment, you say?" I arched my eyebrows. "On what basis do I deserve punishment when you didn't try with the plan you made yourself!" I protested.Damn it, I don't understand, what was Mattia expecting? I was forced to meet suddenly with his parents and even received unnecessary intimidation."What are you talking about? I stuck to my plan, but you don't realize that you messed this all up?" he replied."I didn't do anything wrong. OK, let me explain. What's your concept? A romantic wedding? Warm couple? Calling you my boo in front of them? Have you forgotten that concept?"'I saw Mattia's Adam's apple bob up and down. He released his grip on me and stepped back.Honestly, I don't understand Mattia's train of thought. He's not a he-wolf who can use mind link with me. So whe
"Ah, making love with my new pet isn't fun! It seems like this city is more fun than home."Alessio leaned back on the sofa and put his legs on the table. Since then, I have been separating files regarding my underground business. I have recently worked on a new business. It turns out my group was acting up. They couldn't collect the debt, and I should have received payment on time."You called a woman a pet! How long do you want to be like that? Aren't you bored of playing around all the time?" I said.So far, I have never stopped Alessio from having fun. Suppose there is a caste in my family. It's like all responsibility is delegated to me. Meanwhile, my sister was pampered as she was the only girl child. Alessio is a pest in the family.If it weren't for my mother, who always tried to keep Alessio at home, I think my father would have lost patience with him."How about you? Have you fucked your new toy yet?" he replied. He didn't care about the meaning of the sentences I said to hi
