Chapter 21Vanessa's POV "Please, it's not what you think!" I protested, trying to pull my hand away. But he only held on tighter, pulling me towards our room with surprising force. He flung open the door to the room and shoved me inside, causing me to hit the bedside table and lose my balance. I landed on the bed with a thud, staring up at him in horror. His eyes were blazing, his jaw clenched. "So all the drama you pulled yesterday was just to create an opportunity to warm my cousin's bed?" he snarled, his voice thick with rage."I can't believe I almost fell for your lies yesterday," Dante said, a mix of hurt and anger in his eyes. "I almost bought your pitiful act," he went on, shaking his head in disbelief. "Let me explain," I pleaded, my voice quivering. But he wasn't listening. "Shut up!" he snapped, his tone biting. I took a deep breath, willing my trembling voice to be steady. "Seriously everything was just a coincidence, if you would just give me a chance to -" Before I

Dante's POVI stood by the window, gazing out at the sky as my thoughts swirled around in my head. The events of the last few hours played over and over again in my mind, like a broken record. I watched as Vanessa walked into the garden, her face drawn and expressionless. A pang of guilt tugged at my heart as I wondered if I had overreacted.

I felt a sudden desire to go and talk to her, to apologize and try to make things right.I clenched my fists when I saw Drake walking towards Vanessa, his hands in his pockets. I couldn't hear what he said, but she turned to face him and her lips curved into a smile. It was a smile I recognized, one that told me she had been expecting him. I felt hurt and betrayed, my hopes of making amends with her slipping away. I was about to turn away when a maid entered the room, announcing that dinner was served. I looked at her, trying to focus on the pr

Chapter 25Vanessa's POVI woke from my short nap, feeling slightly more refreshed. But my stomach rumbled, reminding me that I hadn't eaten in hours. I decided to head down to the kitchen to see what the maids were preparing for lunch. My ears perked up at the sound of my name, and I hurriedly crept closer to the kitchen door. I could hear the maids' voices clearly now, their words sharp and clear. "She's cheating on the Alpha," I heard one of the maids whisper. "Who is she cheating with?" another maid asked. "Drake, of course," the first maid replied, making the second maid gasped. "But she always looks so innocent," the second maid said. "You'd never guess she was capable of such a thing." "I heard she slept in Drake's room," the first maid said. "The Alpha caught her which angered him, and he threw her out of their room." I felt my heart sink at the thought of being unfaithful to my husband."Or maybe the Alpha isn't satisfying her," the second maid said. "That could be why

"I bet he wouldn't mind funcking my bones if I rot here in peace" I muttered to myself angrily.I soon got bored of staying in the bathtub, so I finished up my bath and changed into something simple, I bet Aphrodite would be surprised seeing me all dressed up without her assistance. Almost like she knew I was thinking about her she came into the room confused. "My lady you should have sent for me when you were done," she said in a caring manner."My limbs are still intact Aphrodite, I don't know where it w
