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

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

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

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

Mia’s POVAdrian’s lawyer contacted me again later that night and asked me to meet at Sinclair Enterprise the next day.I decided to hand in my resignation along with the divorce paper.I had been working as his assistant even after our marriage. Now that our divorce is official, It was time for Andrian to hire another assistant.On the day of our divorce, I woke up early to freshen up.Looking at my pale reflection in the mirror, I decided to put on a little powder and lip gloss. As the one being dumped, I didn’t want to look so pathetic and defeated.Just before I left my apartment, a text popped up in my phone.[Kate: Mia, I know you are meeting with Adrian at the company. Can we talk for a few minutes before you go up?]I stare at my screen for a long moment before texting back.[Of course.]Kate and I met at a café downstairs.She was sitting by the window when I walk in, her chestnut brown hair giving a silky glow under the sunlight and her side profile is impeccable.She didn’t

My mind went blank temporarily.I could not believe what I just heard.…Mental and physical harm?! What the fuck had I done? Lorelei was the one who falsely accused me of stealing and illegally possessing my belongings!I didn’t call the police on her. And now she was going to bully me back?How dared she! And how dared Adrian!With the last bit of reason that I had left, I suppressed my anger and gritted, “Do you have any idea what really happened? I’m the innocent one here! I just went home to get my belongings, but Lorelei accused me of theft and had the guards attack me! I haven’t even had the chance to press charges against her, and now she’s suing me?! Can’t you see how ridiculous this is???”Adrian’s face remained cold and indifferent.“You broke into our house. That is trespassing. I can have you arrested just for that,” he said matter-of-factly.I stared at him. I felt everything so surreal and ridiculous that I suddenly had a strong urge to burst out laughing.He didn’t care

“DON’T SHOOT IT!”I cried out loud and grabbed Adrian by the arm, “I know him! He is—”“Your admirer?” He snarled. His hard muscle flexed underneath the shirt. His whole body was tensed in rage. “I underestimated you, Mia Rivers. When did you hook up with a royal?”“What the hell are you talking about! He is a friend…”His eyes sparkled with madness and anger, “Whoever that is, I will FUCKING kill him! He should have seen this coming when he seduced my wife!”I glared at him.I wanted to remind him that I was no longer his wife. He divorced me himself!Yet before I do that, the helicopter dived down and hovered outside of our window.A young man emerged from the helicopter. His honey-brown hair fluttered in the strong wind. The golden sunshine depicted his handsome profile.“MIA!”He yelled at me, waving and grinning.“You like my surprise?!”I let out a short cry—That idiot! He shouldn’t have!Adrian’s eyes slightly widened as he stared at that young man, “…Jace Ryder?”His Head of S
