Ariane’s POV
“Ariane, you know since you married Leon and you also decided to resign from the company so I gave everything to your stepfather. I only trust him. I know you must be disappointed. But I hope you can still survive with Leon so that you can still have a decent future.” Usually, my mother sold me to Leon. I know that my destiny is to be paired with Leon but fate says otherwise. Leon has always loved only Isabella, my step sister. If only I could do it again, of course, I would reject it when I was paired with Leon, and I could continue my mother’s company. I’m also not sure if my stepfather will give me a position in the company that he now holds entirely. “No, mom. I don’t want to beg just to ask for food. I will work somewhere else. I will not lower myself to ask for a job with your husband either.” I was disappointed with my mother. Even though my stepfather never said anything bad to me, I saw that he loved Isabella more than me. My mother also only gave in to her husband. I still can't believe it. Okay, I won't just keep quiet. I can still do other things to make money. Ting. I looked at my phone which just had a message. [I've transferred some money for you. It's for your needs for the past few days.] Apparently, Leon just sent me money. Well, that's good, I think it's just compensation for our divorce process. "I'll stay here for a few days," my mother said. "No, it's necessary. I can take care of myself." I didn't want my mother to be here too. "I want to calm down. So we should just go home. Your husband will definitely be looking for you too." "But you..." I didn't want to hear more of my mother's words. I didn't want to give in to what my mother said. "I just need some time alone, Mom. So go home!" "Okay then. I hope you can reconsider what you said earlier, Ariane." My mother started to leave my apartment. I took a deep breath. My relationship with my mother had not been good enough for a long time. Especially after my marriage to Alpha Leon. Even though I know that Leon does have a life that I can rely on, I also can't deny that I can't stand Leon anymore, so I'd better leave and start my new life. * The next day I immediately got ready to meet my lawyer in the lobby. I didn't intend to come to the summons. Let my lawyer sort everything out. Because if I come, my divorce process will take longer and I don't want that to happen. Even if Leon comes, it won't speed up the rest. I've been waiting for my lawyer while enjoying the breakfast. The money from Leon is more than enough for my needs for the next month, but I don't want to just sit around because, eventually, the money will run out. "So you're not coming to court today, ma'am?" The lawyer asked. "Yes, wouldn't that speed up our divorce process?" "Yes, that's right. I've taken care of everything, including the division of joint assets. Because previously you also worked and had joint assets, especially since you were pregnant with twins who still needed to be supported by your future ex-husband.” The lawyer’s explanation was quite easy for me to understand. “Yes, do your best. Oh yeah, I’ve ordered food for breakfast. Let’s have breakfast together.” “Okay, ma’am. Thank you very much.” “You’re welcome.” After finishing breakfast, I headed back to my apartment while my lawyer left for court. I chose not to open my phone for a while to maintain my sanity. “Ariane, you are a strong woman and a great future mother for your children. Don’t give in to circumstances just because you no longer have a husband.” My wolf soul encouraged me. I also understood that. I couldn’t possibly fall down just because I decided not to be with Leon. Besides, I wouldn’t regret having decided this. I looked out the window of my apartment. The hustle and bustle outside my apartment was very visible. I rubbed my stomach and invited my future children to talk. "Honey, you are the spirit for me to stand where I am now. I don't want to make an excuse to stay with your father just because of you. I just want to provide a positive environment and also a good mood for me so that I can take care of you well and you can grow well in my hands." I also hope that they can love me as their single mother because I will also serve as their father. If asked if I would allow Leon to meet his children, of course, I would allow him. It's just that I don't allow him if he will take custody of the children I will raise. I have also asked my lawyer to take care of the custody of my children, and I don't allow Leon to take them by force, or I will rebel.Leon's POVWhen I found out that Isabella was back I was so happy. She was my first love and I hoped that she would also be my last love. But unfortunately, I had to be paired with Ariane. A girl I never loved. I was also just her partner because of destiny. I treated Ariane coldly hoping that she couldn't stand it and would divorce me. I was shocked when Ariane asked for a divorce. I thought my hopes had come true but it turned out that I just found out that she was pregnant with twins. I also didn't want her to leave me just like that. I reminded my descendants. I regretted treating her badly. Isabella also knew that Ariane and I were in the process of getting a divorce. "Leon, shouldn't you be happy because you will soon divorce Ariane? We can get married and announce to the world that we are a happy couple?" Isabella said. For some reason, Isabella's charm was not the same as before Ariane asked for a divorce. She was no longer beautiful in my eyes. "Sorry, Isabella, I can't."
Leon’s POV“Well, I’ve only heard that. I don’t know for sure because I wasn’t the only one who saw her go there. When I was training the young wolves, someone was talking about you and because I was curious, I immediately asked him.”Harley’s explanation made me even more curious. Is it true that Isabella went to the witch’s place?“Which wolf saw Isabella go to the witch’s place?”Harley looked at all the young wolves. “I don’t think he’s coming to practice today.”“Okay, I’ll wait for him.”I need an explanation from him. If it’s true that Isabella went to the witch’s place, what is he going to do? Is this related to Isabella’s disappearance some time ago?I’ve been at the young wolf training ground for three days and the man Harley was referring to hasn’t shown up yet. Based on his friend’s explanation, the young man is still busy working in the city and will be training once a week. So will I need more than three more days here? That would be a waste of my time. I decided to go b
Leon’s pov“No way, you promised to marry me after you divorced Ariane. Why are you telling me to leave now?” Isabella insisted.“Well, if it wasn’t a lie you told me I would still marry you. But in fact, you lied to me, Isabella. I’m disappointed in you.”Isabella approached me. She hugged me from the side. “Is it because your heart is troubled that you don’t see me as a woman who loves you, Leon. We’ve been in a relationship for a long time and why are you acting like this to me now?”Why does she still look calm, and is Bree’s statement wrong, and it wasn’t Isabella that she saw at that time?“Prove that you didn’t visit the witch’s house that time!” I said. Somehow she would show proof.“How can I give proof that I didn’t go there? Who actually slandered me like this? I’m sure it was Ariane because she doesn’t like me and this is her game to make you fall in love with her even more. Remember, Leon, who is the woman who always loves you. Even before Isabella was among us.”I swall
Leon’s POVI met Bree at the bar. I ordered some wine while chatting with him. “So are you willing to work with me?”Bree’s face looked thoughtful. He occasionally glanced at me. “What do you offer?”“I’ll give you a better salary and position as a werewolf. You’re my squad so you can be my assistant.” I explained it honestly, not too grandiosely, and could be trusted by him.I’ve also told his boss that I’ll take Bree but his boss said that I need to talk to Bree directly. So this is the right time.“Okay, I agree. But give me time until the end of this month until I receive my salary at my workplace and finish my work here too. It’s already the 25th and there are only five days left.”I don’t mind Bree’s decision. After all, he needs the salary and to finish his work by the end of the month. Five days won’t be long and I’ll wait patiently.“Okay, I agree.” After the bar, I tried to meet Ariane. Maybe she changed her mind and would come back to me. I went to her apartment but she di
Ariane’s POV Since I moved into my new apartment I asked the receptionist not to tell anyone about my presence in the apartment or not. I felt that later Leon or my mother might look for me in the apartment. So I chose to keep quiet. I had stocked up on food in my apartment so I could cook my favorites, or if I was too lazy to cook, I would just order food at the apartment. Several times I knew if Leon came to my apartment. I only knew from the screen on the front door of my apartment. Indeed, this apartment is quite sophisticated in facilities so I can know who knows me without having to open the door or peek through the small gap in the door that is usually in a hotel. I can also know without them knowing I am watching anyone. I let Leon wait in front of my apartment door and I also will not make a door for him. I feel like I don’t need to talk to him anymore and I also won’t regret deciding to divorce him. I don’t mind if my children later don’t have a father figure even though
Ariane’s POV I was about to enter my apartment but He grabbed my hand. "I want to talk to my future baby, Ariane. I am the father of the children you are carrying." I smiled lopsidedly. "Do you think you can only acknowledge them after you regret your actions? Why after I know all the bad things about your heart? I'm fed up with the drama you've done. Go away!" I chased Leon away, and he apparently still insisted, so I pushed Leon's body with the wolf power in my body, and sure enough, he only took a few steps back. I immediately went inside and locked the door from the inside. I've run out of patience with Leon. I'm fed up with him. Not just because of a mistake he made this time. But I've forgiven him since the beginning of my arranged marriage with him, but he never changed, and he only loves Isabella. Only after I left now he wants to come back to me. This is really beyond my common sense. I did love Leon. I was amazed by everything he had. His prowess as an Alpha and h
Ariane’s POV "Sorry, I can't. Go now." I felt disgusted having to be held by Leon even though he argued that he wanted to touch my stomach. I saw Leon leaving me and then invited my lawyer to sit down together. "How is it, sir?""Well, everything has been approved in the trial earlier. Mr. Leon has also signed everything and he just agreed."I looked at the files shown by my lawyer. All my demands were approved without any resistance from Leon. I will receive money from him every first of the month."Good. I agree with you. I think you have worked hard for me. I pay you a fair fee."I immediately transferred some money to my lawyer. "I have transferred it. Thank you for your help. If one day I have a problem, I will contact you.""You're welcome, ma'am. I also thank you and I don't mind helping you again." He then left me and I ordered avocado juice. At least I could breathe fresh air because I hadn't left the apartment for a long time.Maybe I will shop for kitchen necessities so
Leon’s POVBree’s job is pretty good. He became Ariane’s stalker. If not, I might have a hard time dividing my time between my job and finding Ariane. I, who no longer have time, often meet Ariane but mostly fail. I also have to be patient because I feel like this might be my destiny to separate from Ariane.Until I had no other choice when the judge said that I really had to separate from Ariane. I gave up because I couldn’t force Ariane to stay with me. Maybe she was at a point where she no longer had patience and also accepted me who had never loved her. This was purely my fault so I had no other choice. I apologized to Ariane when I was with her lawyer to meet her.I waited until Ariane came out of her apartment. She was about to go to the supermarket to shop. Why didn’t I do it a long time ago, even though this was a fun thing? Being able to take my wife shopping and choosing all the household needs. Ah, regret always comes at the end.I also
