The Cruel Alpha’s Discarded Wife Chapter 12: The Secret Baby
It was a little tradition of us to have a drink after a successful business meeting. I couldn’t remember how many times we clung our glasses together in late nights.“Sure!” I answered without hesitation.We took the elevator to the top floor and grabbed a booth in the lounge. Soothing music was playing in the background, and he was sipping his scotch besides me.Everything was like the old time.Except it wasn’t.Maybe it was because of the wine, or because of my sudden nostalgic feeling, I suddenly blurt out:“You knew that Lorelei set me up, right?”His hand froze in midair. Then he looked over to me, his face unreadable.“What are you talking about?” he asked coldly.He was not happy.I shouldn’t sabotage this precious moment by asking things about Lorelei.But I had started already. There was no way of taking it back.And I deserved an answer.“You said you checked the surveillance footage. You knew that I wasn’t a thief! Lorelei hid all my stuffs on purpose trying to get me into
The Cruel Alpha’s Discarded Wife Chapter 13: Who is the Father?
Mia’s POVI didn’t remember how I walked out of the lady’s room and came back to the lounge.All I was thinking was one thing:…Adrian and Lorelei had a child?!But I never heard Adrian talking about it ever!And if they had a child, why did Lorelei leave him? And why was she coming back to him now?A million questions whizzed across my mind as I dragged my steps going into the lounge.And then I see them sitting in the booth.Lorelei rested her head on Adrian’s shoulders while holding his hand. They looked so intimate and in love.Lorelei was right about one thing.I could never win this battle against her.Pushing down bitterness at heart, I walked over to them and said, “I’d better head home. Thank you for today…Alpha Adrian.”His eyes slightly darkened hearing that I used his title instead of first name.“I will give you a ride home,” his tone was determined.“No, it’s fine!” I didn’t want Lorelei to think that I was still fighting over him.Yet to my surprise, Lorelei stood up wi
The Cruel Alpha’s Discarded Wife Chapter 14: Behind Closed Doors
Mia’s POV“What did you just say?” I gasped, “Lorelei’s child may not be Adrian’s?”Liam gave me a casual shrug, “I don’t know if she has a child or not. I’m just saying, if she does, we won’t know who the father is.”“But does Adrian know about this?” I asked urgently.Liam paused. He slightly narrowed his eyes at me and studied my reaction closely, “Why do you care about it so much?”“I…I’m just—curious,” I stammered.His jaw tensed. Then he suddenly moved closer to me and held my shoulders forcing me to look straight into his eyes, “Then stop worrying about him and Lorelei. Adrian chose to be with that woman. Who cares if the child is his or not?”After a long eye connection, I finally caved into his intimidating gaze and sighed, “…Fine.”Liam was right.Adrian seemed happy with Lorelei now.No matter how sad I was about this, I should move on and let him bear with his own choice.I spent the rest of that evening filling out the contract and faxed it to Clayton the next morning.A
The Cruel Alpha’s Discarded Wife Chapter 15: Attached String
Mia’s POVFor a quick second I felt like a snooping big sister who read her little brother’s diary and got caught.But then I calmed myself down and asked in a light tone, “I saw your paintings inside. Who is this girl?”He blushed suspiciously and avoided my gaze, “…nobody.”“Come on,” I forced a laugh, “Introduce this special someone to me.”He stood there stiffly for a few seconds before letting out a long sigh, “Fine. But promise me not to freak out if I show you…”He led me into the exhibition room and turned on the light.I took in a sharp inhale the next second.Those portraits, some were unfinished sketches, and some were oil paintings…But they were all…ME.My jaw dropped and I couldn’t even get a word out of my mouth. After an eternity long of silence, I finally turned to Liam rigidly.“What the…Why…” I stuttered. Couldn’t get my minds together.There was an even deeper shade of red on his face. He covered his eyes in embarrassment and groaned, “God I feel like such a big pe
The Cruel Alpha’s Discarded Wife Chapter 16: First Kiss
Mia’s POVMy mind went blank for a second.When I realized what he was asking of me, I wanted to grab my fork and stab it at his cocky face.“Are you kidding me right now?!” my voice shook violently. “If you think I’ll let you mess with my career like this—”“Lorelei is a well-known model. You should be glad that she is interested in your film. Having her as your female lead will give you huge exposure,” Adrian sneered coldly. “You are a businesswoman. Surely you can think this through.”“Bullshit!” I snapped furiously. “This is you manipulating my life! You are punishing me for quitting my job. You are such an arrogant asshole who can’t stand me making it on my own after our divorce!”“Making it on your own?” he narrowed his eyes dangerously. “Don’t be ridiculous. You don’t even have enough money to get your project up and running. How did you find the nerve to bark at your moneybag?”“There are tons of other investors waiting in line to invest in me! I will not have you and your dea
The Cruel Alpha’s Discarded Wife Chapter 1
Mia’s POVI hurried up the long marble staircase, heading up towards the auction house.A man was waiting for my by the entrance, Adrian’s secretary.“You are 30 minutes late, Luna Mia,” he said to me icily. “Alpha Adrian asked you attend tonight’s auction with him at 7.”“I—I know. But I got caught up in things…”I gasped for breathes and tried to mention the million tasks that piled up in my calendar.The ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new business arcade, the hand-shaking event at the local hospital, the interview with the Daily News, the emails that awaited for my reply…I only had 2 hours of sleep in the past 7 days. I hadn’t had any food or water in the last 48 hours.“Alpha Adrian is not pleased.” The secretary said.I gulped nervously. I knew that Adrian didn’t appreciate late-comers, “Let me explain it to him myself…”“Alpha asks you to stay outside. Reflect upon your mistake.”…What?It was 14 degree Fahrenheit outside! Freezing cold.And all I was wearing was a crop-top go
The Cruel Alpha’s Discarded Wife Chapter 2
Mia’s POVAdrian’s car drove off without me. I wondered whom he was in a hurry to see. Probably Lorelei.It was the staffs at the auction house who carried me inside, offered me some hot beverages and sent me home eventually.“Luna Mia, are you sure you don’t need to go to the hospital?” the staff asked me in the car, worried.“…No, thank you. I am fine.” I replied weakly in a low voice.Even a complete stranger cared about my wellbeing. Yet my husband didn’t give a damn.The car arrived at the entrance of Andrian’s mansion, which was sitting on the top of a hill, looking over the entire city. The security wouldn’t let the car through the iron gate. So I was forced to get off the car and climbed the hill by myself.The snow continued to fall, developing into a blizzard.I felt so cold. Yet on the contrary, my body was burning.Before I passed out on the path, I finally made it to the mansion’s doorstep.With my last bit of strength, I entered the code to the combination lock.[WRONG C
The Cruel Alpha’s Discarded Wife Chapter 3
Mia’s POVThe party surged in chaos, bodies swaying amidst a sea of bottles and deafening music. The air was thick with the scent of alcohol and sweat.It was overwhelming, suffocating even.People looked around at me. Their eyes bright with malicious sparkles.“Mia River?”One guy giggled. He shoved his drunken date aside and advanced on me, “Alpha Adrian’s rejected mate? Hell, she is hotter in reality than TV!”A couple more men came at my way, their eyes hazy and unfocused.I took a shaky step back, but instead bumped into a muscular chest—somebody had blocked my way out from the back.“Stay away from me…” I gritted, my voice quivering. “I don’t fucking know you!”They burst into laughter, “Oh come on. Don’t be a prude. The Alpha left you already. You got nothing else to do anyway. Let us keep you company!”“No—NO!” I shrieked, “I am calling the police!”Yet they didn’t give a fuck about my threat.Someone held my shoulders, a few more grabbed me by my feet. Together they lifted me
