The guards followed Luna Viviana to her husband's office.
She looked at them annoyed. "Even here, you are still following me?" she snarled.
"We are sorry, Luna Viviana, we are just following Alpha Callum's order," one of the guards apologized and opened the door wide.
She entered the room and saw her husband sitting at his desk, having a discussion with his beta.
Alpha Callum looked at his wife and sighed. "Is there any problem?" he asked.
Beta Amir returned to his desk and pretended to be busy reviewing reports sent to him by his subordinates.
Luna Viviana sat on the chair facing her husband. "I will agree to the divorce but on several conditions," she said calmly.
Eavesdropping, Beta Amir secretly glanced at the couple, taken by surprise at the headstrong Luna's decision. He expected she wouldn't agree to a divorce in this lifetime.
His wife's statement quickly piqued Alpha Callum's attention. "Go on, tell me your demands."
Luna Viviana placed her notes in front of him. "These are my demands..."
Alpha Callum skimmed through the notes, his mouth twitched. He read the list aloud. "The divorce settlements are as follows. I must receive $100 million in my bank account as compensation. You must buy me a beach house of my choice, and it must be in my name. And you must give me a $300K allowance per month for the rest of my life."
Beta Amir's eyes almost fell from their sockets due to the outrageous demands made by Luna Viviana. He looked at the Alpha's expression, expecting he would instantly reject his wife's epic demands.
Instead, what he heard shocked him.
Alpha Callum nodded his head, no objection at all. "Alright, I agree with all your demands. I'll have my attorney draft the agreement for settlement. I'll have you sign the documents after it's done," he said calmly.
Luna Viviana smiled bitterly. "You really love her. You are willing to pay me a huge settlement so you have the freedom to be with her. I hope you don't regret it one day," she said in a tone filled with bitterness. "By the way, I'm going out tomorrow. Mia and I will check out 6 beachfront properties, so I can buy my own home. I will raise our child in that house, so the property must be superb. After I leave this place, you are free to bring your mistress and your son here..."
"Anything else?" Alpha Callum asked indifferently.
Luna Viviana was hurt by the cold way her husband treated her, as if she was a stranger in his eyes. "That's all. I'm done here." She rose to her feet, walked to the door and left the room.
The moment Luna Viviana was gone from the room, Beta Amir sprang from his seat and rushed to Alpha Callum's desk. "Alpha, pardon my manners, but what the hell does she think of herself? She demanded so much money from you, Alpha. And do you tolerate her? Our pack will go bankrupt if you empty the pack's coffer!" he blurted in protest. He just can't stay silent about the way things are going. Luna Viviana must be stopped! Her demands are simply outrageous.
Alpha Callum silenced his Beta with a death stare. "Who says I will get the money from the pack's copper? And who says I will give her $100 million right away? I can do it in installments. Besides, I have my own money," he elaborated further.
Damn! Beta Amir was ashamed of his outburst. "I'm sorry for my intrusion, Alpha. Please forgive me," he apologized.
"Next time, don't open your mouth rashly if you have nothing good to say," Alpha Callum scolded his assistant.
Beta Amir hung his head in shame. "I'm so sorry Alpha, please punish me."
Alpha Callum sighed. "Call our lawyer. Tell him we are coming to his office today to make the draft of the divorce settlement agreement," he ordered.
"Copy, Alpha." Beta Amir went back to his desk and made a call to the lawyer.
Meanwhile...
Luna Viviana entered her room, wearing a gloomy expression on her face.
"What happened?" Mia rushed to her side. "Your husband rejected your demands?"
Luna Viviana nodded her head and sat on the bed. "On the contrary, he agreed to all my demands on the list," she replied sadly, her eyes welled up. "He would rather pay me hugely so he could get rid of me. He really loves that woman! And I'm hurting so badly right now," she hissed between tears.
Mia sighed and rubbed her friend's back. "Shh, don't be angry now. Just be happy and content that he accepts all your demands. That's his way of securing a good future for you and your child. Other women can't even make a cent after divorcing their useless husbands. You are lucky, you will end up very wealthy after the divorce."
Luna Viviana's face contorted in bitterness and anger. "But it still hurts so badly! I thought I was brave enough to face it all. However, I'm feeling so down right now. He didn't even flinch when he read my outrageous demands. He is willing to lose so much money just to be with his mistress! And I hate that woman even more!" She wept hard, filling the room with her whining and lamentation.
"Cry all you want, I'm here to stay by your side. I will sleep here so you have company all night. Tomorrow we will check beachfront properties so you can finally buy your dream house. Starting again all by yourself is the hardest thing to do. But you will eventually learn to get used to your new normal as the days go by. You will be fine because you have your baby with you," Mia said in a gentle, soothing voice.
Luna Viviana cried harder as weakness took over. She was just trying to put on a brave face earlier, but it didn't last long. And now the floodgates of sorrow and pain have opened up, swallowing her whole.
Two hours later, Luna Viviana fell asleep on the bed. Mia called her husband and informed him that she couldn't be home tonight, but she would return home tomorrow evening. Her husband understood the situation and didn't make a fuss about the situation.
Mia lay down on the bed and closed her eyes to sleep, joining her best friend in dreamland.
Outside the mansion...
Alpha Callum and Beta Amir can be seen leaving the mansion, boarding the vehicle, and heading to HRL Law Office. When they arrived at their location, Attorney John Smith was already waiting for them in his office.
Alpha Callum discussed his wife's epic demand with his lawyer. Their discussion lasted for more than an hour.
After they finished discussing the divorce settlement agreement, Alpha Callum and Beta Amir left the lawyer's office and returned to their car.
Inside the vehicle.
"You go home now. I will go to the farm to see grandpa, then I will visit Clarice and my son in the rental house," Alpha Callum ordered.
"Copy Alpha," Beta Amir replied with a nod of his head.
Alpha Callum teleported into the farm house.
When he arrived there, Grandpa Eliezer was outside the house, relaxing, sitting under the shade of the tree. "Pops, wazz up? How's everything going here?" he asked.
"Everything is fine here," Grandpa Eliezer replied with a smile.
"How about the couple? How are they?" Alpha Callum asked.
"They're doing fine, a hard-working couple. I like them. The couple went to the lake to fish," Grandpa Eliezer responded with a smile.
"Good to hear that," Alpha Callum said.
"So, how's your wife?" Grandpa Eliezer inquired.
"She finally agreed to the divorce, but she has many demands," Alpha Callum said, scratching his head.
"Really? Wow! I didn't expect that she would give up so soon. I thought she would give you a hard time," Grandpa gushed in astonishment and disbelief.
"I'm shocked too, but in a good way," Alpha Callum grinned.
"So what are her demands? Let me hear them," Grandpa Eliezer asked curiously.
Alpha Callum sighed heavily. His grandfather would surely raise a brow after hearing his wife's huge demands. "She wants a $100 million divorce settlement, a house and lot near the beach and a $300K monthly allowance for her and our baby that she will receive for life."
"What the hell? Such a huge amount of money!" Grandpa Eliezer blurted in shock, stunned by the mind-blowing divorce settlement that Luna Viviana wanted from her husband.
"What do you think of Viviana's demands, Pop?" Alpha Callum asked.
Grandpa Eliezer shrugged. "For your peace of mind and happiness just give your wife what she wants," he said casually.
"Thank you for your support, Pops." Alpha Callum smiled gratefully.
"How many gold bars do you want this time, son?" Grandpa Eliezer asked.
"Five or 6 gold bars will be enough I think," Alpha Callum replied.
"Alright, let's go now to the secret place and get the gold bars," Grandpa Eliezer said, standing up.
"Let's go!" Alpha Callum said energetically.
A few minutes later, the two men vanished without a trace.
After getting the gold bars from the secret place, Alpha Callum proceeds to visit Clarice and his son in the rental house via teleportation.He landed in Clarice's room. She was in the shower when he arrived. "Babe, I'm here!" He announced his presence cheerily."I'll get out in a minute," she responded from the bathroom."Don't rush, take your time," he said, easing onto the sofa, wondering where his son was.A few minutes later, Clarice emerged from the bathroom door wearing a bathrobe. "What's the news?" she asked, going to the closet and putting on clothes."I have good news for you," he said, smiling broadly. He couldn't wait to see her reaction."Good news? I love that!" she said excitedly, rushing to his side, settling on the sofa beside him. She looked into his eyes, smiling brightly. "Tell me the good news now!"He planted a kiss on her head. "Viviana has already agreed to the divorce," he broke the news, beaming.Clarice's eyes widened in shock and surprise. "Wow! Really?" s
The following day, Luna Viviana and Mia leave the mansion accompanied by the two guards. They went to the café to meet with the realtor and proceeded to the beachfront property for sale.The three properties were just a few minutes' drive from each other.They checked out the first property. The bungalow house was cozy and with a nice view of the beach.They headed to the next property. A ten-minute drive from the first house.They exited their vehicle and entered the two-story modern white house. The interior of the house was spacious, with marbled tiles, cozy bedrooms, clean bathrooms, an elegant living room and a shiny kitchen. A turquoise-looking pool at the back of the house completes the magnificent property.The house has a balcony and porch facing the beach. A perfect place to hang out, drinking coffee or wine while reading a book, waiting for the sun to set on the horizon.The long stretch of powdery white sand beach is a feast for the eyes. A paradise for nature lovers.The
A week later, Viviana was done packing her things and the servants had already put all her stuff in her car and other things in the van.She went to her husband's office to say goodbye. But he was not there. "Where is he?" she asked his beta."Alpha told me he would visit you tomorrow at the beach house," Beta Amir replied.Viviana bit her lip. "It's my last day here, and he doesn't want to see me? How cruel," she commented bitterly.Beta Amir scratched his head. "Um, he instructed me to accompany you to your new house today.""OK," she said sadly. "When are you going to release to the public my joint statement with my husband that we are divorcing amicably?""Tomorrow afternoon as per your instructions, Luna," Beta Amir replied."From now on, stop calling me Luna. You will have a new Luna soon," Viviana corrected him. She felt a sharp pain in her heart after saying it. She finally came to terms that she was no longer the Luna of their pack. She lost power and authority."OK, as you s
Alpha Callum groaned. As much as he didn't want to prolong Viviana's madness, he was also aware that she was struggling to accept the reality of her current situation. Now that the dust had settled, and she was no longer the high and mighty Luna Viviana of the Savage Howl Pack, her world crumbled around her, making her depressed, weak and emotional.It must be very difficult for her to accept the changes happening at once.He allowed her to cry in his arms as much as she wanted, and rubbed her back gently, comforting her. Despite the millions she got from him, she was still not happy at all. She might be starting to regret her actions after trying to act brave and cool in handling the divorce."Hubby, I regret divorcing you. Take back everything you gave me. I just want us to be together as husband and wife again," she said between tears, sobbing hard in his arms, clinging to him like she was drowning in the ocean of her misery.At that very moment, Alpha Callum felt guilty. He was th
The following day, the newspaper reached the masses, announcing to the public the divorce between Alpha Callum and Luna Viviana of the Savage Howl Pack. The news took everyone by surprise, reaching far and wide.After reading the joint statement between the ex-couple, people from all walks of life began gossiping about the real reason why the legal separation of the powerful couple took place.Meanwhile, in the beach house, Viviana was crying her heart out while reading the news. Today she was officially a nobody in her ex-husband's life.Mia rubbed her friend's back, comforting her. "Shh, don't take it too hard. Just be glad that it's over now. You can finally begin a new life with your baby in your womb. Days will pass by, and the people will forget what happened. They will easily move on from one news story to another."Enraged, Viviana threw the newspaper on the floor.Mia sighed. She picked up the newspaper and dropped it in the trash can where it should belong so it could no lon
Clarice shook her head. "No. As much as I wanted to kill them with my hands to take revenge for the suffering they put me through, I didn't want to do it during my wedding. I want my wedding to be a happy and memorable occasion not only for us but for everyone. I'm not planning to ruin my wedding with bloody vengeance. As long as the Moon Goddess grants me lifetime happiness with you and our son, I'm willing to forget revenge. That's all I really want for myself right now..."Alpha Callum smiled and planted a kiss on her lips. "As long as we continue to love each other and stay true to each other, we will get all the happiness we deserve in this lifetime."Clarice smiled and hugged him tightly. "No matter what happens in the future, don't ever change, okay?"Alpha Callum nodded his head. "Of course, I will never change. I will always be here for you," he responded lovingly.The couple continued cuddling on the bed, discussing their wedding in detail.That night, Alpha Callum slept in
The day has finally arrived. Alpha Callum finally brings home his beloved family, Clarice and Caden, to the mansion to start a new life with them.Alpha Callum ordered the cook to prepare delicious dishes for the special occasion. Grandpa Eliezer, Marina and Carlos were also present on the occasion.At lunchtime, they gathered around the table in the dining room, filled with delicious dishes.Alpha Callum picked up his wine glass and said, "Cheers to a new beginning!"Everyone held their wine glasses high and replied cheerily, "Cheers!""Enjoy the dishes, guys," he said, acting as a perfect host for his guests.Clarice grinned in elation. Seeing her loved ones gathered around the table made her heart swell with happiness. Tears of happiness filled her eyes. She blinked twice. She can't cry. This is such a special occasion, she can't ruin this event by becoming emotional. She wants to embed this wonderful moment in her memories.She relishes the moment, loving everything that is happen
Six months later.One week before the wedding, Clarice was busy double-checking the wedding preparations, so nothing could go wrong on her special day. Aside from the excitement of the anticipation of her second wedding, there was also anxiety growing in her heart.Was she wrong about inviting her ex-husband and her despicable former best friend Aurelia to her wedding?But she could no longer change anything because the wedding invitations had already been sent to the leaders of the pack one month in advance.Well, they couldn't possibly identify her as the old Clarice because she would be wearing a short wig different from her original hair color and length. Then she will wear contact lenses to hide the real color of her eyes.She already had a plan to alter her physical appearance, so nobody could associate her old appearance with her new one. She even practiced a new voice tone, and to make her disguise even more effective, she will be wearing a stylish face veil fit for the occasi
She was transported back in time when she was alone sitting on the sun lounger, enjoying the lovely night, waiting for her husband to arrive with their coffee.Then came the stranger, intentionally dropping his wallet on the floor and her nightmare began...Clarice felt her heart beat frantically when she realized that the stranger was no other than Kaspar. He took her off guard, froze her and lifted her body, throwing her into the water without mercy. When she hit the water she thought she would die. She can't do anything to help herself.She screamed, trying to ask for help, but no sound came out of her mouth. She felt her body falling deeper into the water, but to her surprise she resurfaced in the water again and, out of the corner of her eyes, she saw the cruise ship sailing away without her.Nobody saw her when she fell into the water. No one could help her, even her husband.Horrified by her hopeless situation, she will die alone in the freezing water. Her dead body will be eat
A thousand miles away on a secluded island far from the city and towns, Clarice was wide awake, sitting on her bed in total darkness. She trembled in fear when the door opened. The light coming from outside flooded the dark room.There she is...Demetria, the bloodthirsty vampire, enters the room to feed on her blood again.Clarice trembled in fear. This vampire will feed on her blood again and again, leaving her fearing for her life. She fears that one day she will die and never be able to escape this room alive because this vampire will drain her body dry.Although Demetria saved her from drowning in the dark ocean, she was also feeding on her blood thrice a week.Demetria snapped her hand and light flooded the room. "How are you today, dear?" she asked, coming closer."Please let me go home. My husband and my son are worried about me. They think I have died. Please set me free," Clarice begged desperately, tears flooding her eyes."Dear, I just want to let you know that your husban
Two months later...The distraught Alpha Callum arrives at his Grandpa's farm, broken hearted."Gramps, I don't know if I still continue searching for Clarice in the ocean. We still can't find her no matter how hard we try," he said miserably."I know, son, it's very tough on your part. I wish I could help you. I'm also sad and devastated by Clarice's disappearance. You have already run a missing person ad in every major newspaper in the whole country but no one has found Clarice's body yet. The worst thing I can think of is the reason why we can't find her body is because some sharks found her first and we both know what it means." Grandpa Eliezer said sadly, patting his grandson's shoulder to comfort him.Alpha Callum wept quietly. "I don't know if she's already dead or alive. If she drowns, I just want to find her body and give her a proper burial. Is that so much to ask?" he asked dejectedly.Grandpa Eliezer sighed heavily. Watching the misery in his grandson's eyes filled his hea
Kaspar finished his one-week-long holiday on the cruise ship, making sure that Clarice is already buried in the deep ocean with no chance of coming back to the land of the living.He watched in satisfaction as Alpha Callum desperately searched every room and cabin to find his beloved wife. But he failed to find her.Kaspar was lucky that heaven favored him because the CCTV camera in the couple's favorite spot malfunctioned on the same day he succeeded in completing his evil plan.Since no evidence can point to him as the culprit of Clarice's disappearance, he enjoyed his remaining days on the cruise ship, unbothered.Aurelia and Viviana were ecstatic after he informed them that Clarice was finally gone and would never come back again. He told them that Clarice drowned in the deep ocean and her body had probably been eaten already by sharks and other dangerous animals inhabiting the deep blue sea.Carrying his travel luggage, he left the ship in high spirits, happy with his accomplishm
Alpha Callum arrives at an empty farm house. No one was around, so he put his bags in the corner and settled on the sofa, waiting for his grandfather to arrive.While waiting, he re-imagined what happened to his holiday vacation with his wife on the cruise ship.No matter what others said, he didn't believe Clarice had jumped into the ocean willingly. Someone had thrown her into the water. His wife was happy with him. She would never resort to suicide because they were blessed with a loving and peaceful marriage and had a son together.After searching the ship from top to bottom, he finally gave up on his suspicion that Clarice had caught a serial killer's attention and was abducted on board.Clarice definitely fell in the water because there was no way she could vanish from the cruise ship without leaving any trace behind.He was in deep thoughts when the door opened and Grandpa Eliezer entered the house. He was surprised to see Alpha Callum in his house looking distraught. He knew i
He couldn't stand the tense silence anymore. The agony of losing his wife was creating havoc in his system, making him desperate. It's either Clarice fell into the water or she was held captive by someone and held in their cabins.He needed to know what truly happened to her, or he would go crazy.He left the room and went to find the captain of the cruise ship."I want to find my wife. I want to know if there is a killer on the loose boarding this ship, or if she has fallen into the sea. I want clear answers!" he demanded angrily.The captain fell silent for a moment, then spoke, "What do you want to do, sir?""I want to search every single room on this ship to make sure no one is keeping my wife in his or her room. That's the only way I can be assured that she was not taken advantage of and not imprisoned in someone's room and held against her will," he said accusingly.The captain scratched his head in dismay. "Um, I have to warn you, sir. Not everyone will allow their rooms to be
Days passed by quickly.On the fourth day of the couple's wedding anniversary, they had a romantic candle-lit dinner inside their suite and made love all night long.On the 5th day, the couple spends their time in the pool area of the cruise ship and enjoys the jacuzzi along with other couples.They watched skaters on the skating rink for one hour. They also tried bumper cars, bikes high above the ship, and skydiving simulators. Then they proceeded to try a roller coaster ride, took the plunge and loved the adrenaline-pumping, exhilarating experience.They were having so much fun.The couple also went to watch a show in the theater.That night, the couple watched movies in their room and after finishing watching the movies, they left their suite and went to their favorite spot to enjoy the lovely night.They settled comfortably in the sun lounger and admired the star-filled sky."I want to drink chocolate coffee," Clarice said.Alpha Callum stood up. "Alright, let's go and buy coffee.
In his room on the second deck of the cruise ship, Kaspar put blue eye contact lenses in his eyes. Next, he picked up the black curly wig and placed it securely on his head. After a few minutes of fixing his appearance in the mirror, he was finally satisfied.Even if he bumps into the couple, they can't easily recognize him because his disguise looks authentic. As long as he doesn't talk to them face to face, his charade won't be discovered. Clarice may remember his original voice, but if they accidentally bump into each other with no choice, he will just use a fake voice to talk to her.For now, he would just follow the couple around at a safe distance. He doesn't want them to notice that he is following their every movement.He preferred to throw Clarice into the sea if he spotted her alone without her husband around.Putting poison in her food would be difficult because that would need perfect execution and her husband was always around to complicate things, and he had no weapon th
Days pass quickly.The day has finally come for the couple to embark on their one-week cruise ship holiday.The couple bid goodbye to their son Caden, Beta Amir and Lorey."We will bring you along next time, son," Alpha Callum said, planting a kiss on his son's head, ruffling his hair affectionately.Clarice hugged her son tightly, kissing his cheeks lovingly. "I'm going to miss you baby. I love you so much. See you soon!" she said teary-eyed."I love you Mommy and Daddy. Enjoy sailing on the ship," Caden replied, smiling brightly.Alpha Callum gives last minute instructions to his assistant, Beta Amir. "If something comes up, call me right away or send me a message on my email. Alternately, seek Grandpa's help. Do you understand?" he said.Beta Amir nodded his head. "Copy, Alpha. Rest assured I will take care of everything while you are away. You and your wife deserve a fabulous break away from home. Enjoy sailing on a ship."After the couple finished saying their goodbyes, they boar
