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

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

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

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

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

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
The Cruel Alpha’s Discarded Wife Chapter 4
Mia’s POVI could ask Jace to pick up all my belongings for me. I also knew that with Lorelei back in town, I would probably run into people I didn’t want to meet with if I went back to Adrian’s house.But it was a fight that I couldn’t ran away from. And I couldn’t bother Jace anymore. He had done enough for me.The next day, I used a full day to prep myself and headed to my battlefield at dusk.The security at the front gate still recognized me. After hearing out my reasons for being here, they let me through.I climbed the hill by feet, through the winding path that led to mansion. The crisp evening air whispered through the trees. As I climbed, I stole glances over my shoulder, watching as the last rays of light kissed the rooftops, bathing them in a soft, golden hue.It was scene worth billions of dollars, exclusive to the Alpha himself. As Adrian’s wife, I had the luxury of enjoying this view everyday while jogging along the path, or riding in the same car with Adrian back to th
The Cruel Alpha’s Discarded Wife Chapter 5
Lorelei rounded her eyes slightly. A panicked look flickered across her eyes.Standing by the entrance was Liam, his face full of anger.He looked completely different than his wasted self the other day. He was sober now, piercing eyes freezing cold, giving off an intimidating aura.“…Liam?”Lorelei forced out an awkward smile, “What brought you here?”Liam paced into the foyer with a sneer, “This is my house. I can come back here whenever I want.”He turned to glare at the security guys and snapped, “Did you hear what I just said? Let her go!”The security guys shivered and quickly let go of me. I stood straight and rubbed my wrists, which were bruised under their iron grip.“Liam! She is a thief! Are you covering up for her?” Lorelei gritted sullenly.“Thief? What have she stolen then?” Liam demanded.Mrs. Jones nibbled her lips nervously and replied, “She wasn’t given a chance to make a move. We found her creeping among the maids and digging through the boxes. So we quickly took he
