Evelyn’s POV

My heart pounded in my chest. I took another step further and reached out to him.

A sharp scream pierced through the air.

Leah collapsed on the ground. She gripped her chest, panting and crying, “No…my chest…”

Tristan was snapped back to reality. He went to her in panic, “God! What’s going on?”

“My chest…it hurts…” Tears streamed down Leah’s face, “Just let me go, Tristan. There’re obviously feelings between you and your mate. The matebond…how can I beat that?”

“We have love! It conquers everything!” Tristan said decisively, “Come! I’ll take you to the hospital.”

He spooned her up with one arm and held Roman with another hand. Before leaving, he shot me a glare.

“Don’t force me to divorce you, Evelyn!” he snarled, “If I do that, you’ll have no money and nowhere to go. So be nice to Leah and Roman from now on. Only that will guarantee you a place under my roof!”

He stormed away, leaving me heartbroken on the spot.

Maybe I should do what Haley suggested—get a good divorce lawyer and guarantee for a basic life in the future.

But Tristan was a powerful Alpha, and I didn’t even have money to hire a decent lawyer. I couldn’t win this in court.

I wandered back to my room, absentminded, not knowing what to do next. The next morning, I got a call from work.

One of the staff on the Carnival City project told me that CEO Jason wanted to discuss our contract. Maybe he had heard about my divorce and had doubts about our cooperation.

So I struggled out of bed and went to the office.

Yet to my surprise, Leah was the only person in the office when I came in.

“What’re you doing here?” I asked, astounded. “And where’s everyone?”

She gave me a mocking smile, “I told them to have the day off. Oh, and I already talked to CEO Jason and invited him to come here to sign the contract. You’re welcome.”

I couldn’t believe this.

“You have no right. This is my office!” I snapped.

She giggled, pleased to see me enraged, “Not anymore. I told Tristan that I wanted the Carnival City project. And he says I can have it.”

I rounded my eyes in shock.

I worked days and nights on this project, making budgets, drafting the proposal, and finding investors.

Yet now, the project that I poured my heart and soul into became a gift from my husband to his mistress.

“Why the shocking face? You know Tristan would give me anything,” Leah coiled a lock of her hair, smiling. “This project is nothing too fancy. But it’ll be a good stepping stone for me to become Tristan’s Luna.”

I stared at her, breathing rapidly.

“You want to be Tristan’s Luna?” I cried, “B…But you said that you are here simply because of love. And you are not interested in that position!”

“Oh my god, you believe that? That’s just something I say for Tristan!” she smiled a twisted smile, “Of course I want to be Luna. Why else would I waste time on Tristan?”

I took a step back, my body trembling, “You don’t love him! You are just bouncing from Alpha to Alpha! I’m going to tell him—”

“Be my guest. See if he believes you.” Leah giggled, approaching me step by step. “Tristan has blind faith in me. He would do anything for me…Let me tell you a little secret. Remember your miscarriage?”

A chill ran through me. “…What?”

Leah leaned in, looking at me with a smug smile.

“I couldn’t keep Roman when I first had him. So Tristan suggested bringing him here and told you Roman’s adopted. But you happened to be pregnant as well at that time. So I got really worried: If a woman already has her own child, how could she be nice to an adopted kid? And you know what Tristan said about that?"

I stared at her in horror, my mind froze.

"Tristan said, ‘Just get rid of her baby, problem solved.’ "

Leah laughed heartily.

"He put wolfsbane in your drink, and your child slipped right out. After that, he brought Roman back as your only child…That’s how far Tristan would go for me!”

The whole world collapsed around me.

Shock, anger, disbelief…almost tore my soul apart!

“No….NO!!” I shook my head, tears streaming down my face. “This isn’t true…Tristan would never…I’m going to ask him!”

“Whatever, Evelyn.” Leah giggled.

I shoved her aside and jerked around, dashing out of the office.

I needed to see Tristan.

I wanted to tell him that Leah didn’t love him at all. She’s just using him. And I wanted to hear him explain. I knew he didn’t murder our baby.

I ran out of the building and across the street. From the corner of my eyes, I saw a truck coming at me at full speed. But it was too late for me to dodge.

BANG!!!

The truck hit me, sending me flying, and then crashing onto the ground.

Pain shot through my body. My vision became blurred. Blood pooled underneath me.

Vaguely, I saw the truck driver jump off and walk over.

“He…Help…” I groaned weakly with tears, “Pl…ease…”

Yet the driver only gave me an indifferent look and turned to Leah, “Miss Leah, what’s next?”

“Drag her into the woods and bury her.” Leah looked down at me with a sweet smile. “Once she’s gone, Tristan will have no choice but to make me Luna.”

They were together.

This was murder.

But my energy was gone. I shut my eyes, trembling, and slipped into the darkness.
