Leon’s POVI met Bree at the bar. I ordered some wine while chatting with him. “So are you willing to work with me?”Bree’s face looked thoughtful. He occasionally glanced at me. “What do you offer?”“I’ll give you a better salary and position as a werewolf. You’re my squad so you can be my assistant.” I explained it honestly, not too grandiosely, and could be trusted by him.I’ve also told his boss that I’ll take Bree but his boss said that I need to talk to Bree directly. So this is the right time.“Okay, I agree. But give me time until the end of this month until I receive my salary at my workplace and finish my work here too. It’s already the 25th and there are only five days left.”I don’t mind Bree’s decision. After all, he needs the salary and to finish his work by the end of the month. Five days won’t be long and I’ll wait patiently.“Okay, I agree.” After the bar, I tried to meet Ariane. Maybe she changed her mind and would come back to me. I went to her apartment but she di

Ariane’s POV Since I moved into my new apartment I asked the receptionist not to tell anyone about my presence in the apartment or not. I felt that later Leon or my mother might look for me in the apartment. So I chose to keep quiet. I had stocked up on food in my apartment so I could cook my favorites, or if I was too lazy to cook, I would just order food at the apartment. Several times I knew if Leon came to my apartment. I only knew from the screen on the front door of my apartment. Indeed, this apartment is quite sophisticated in facilities so I can know who knows me without having to open the door or peek through the small gap in the door that is usually in a hotel. I can also know without them knowing I am watching anyone. I let Leon wait in front of my apartment door and I also will not make a door for him. I feel like I don’t need to talk to him anymore and I also won’t regret deciding to divorce him. I don’t mind if my children later don’t have a father figure even though

Ariane’s POV I was about to enter my apartment but He grabbed my hand. "I want to talk to my future baby, Ariane. I am the father of the children you are carrying." I smiled lopsidedly. "Do you think you can only acknowledge them after you regret your actions? Why after I know all the bad things about your heart? I'm fed up with the drama you've done. Go away!" I chased Leon away, and he apparently still insisted, so I pushed Leon's body with the wolf power in my body, and sure enough, he only took a few steps back. I immediately went inside and locked the door from the inside. I've run out of patience with Leon. I'm fed up with him. Not just because of a mistake he made this time. But I've forgiven him since the beginning of my arranged marriage with him, but he never changed, and he only loves Isabella. Only after I left now he wants to come back to me. This is really beyond my common sense. I did love Leon. I was amazed by everything he had. His prowess as an Alpha and h

Ariane’s POV "Sorry, I can't. Go now." I felt disgusted having to be held by Leon even though he argued that he wanted to touch my stomach. I saw Leon leaving me and then invited my lawyer to sit down together. "How is it, sir?""Well, everything has been approved in the trial earlier. Mr. Leon has also signed everything and he just agreed."I looked at the files shown by my lawyer. All my demands were approved without any resistance from Leon. I will receive money from him every first of the month."Good. I agree with you. I think you have worked hard for me. I pay you a fair fee."I immediately transferred some money to my lawyer. "I have transferred it. Thank you for your help. If one day I have a problem, I will contact you.""You're welcome, ma'am. I also thank you and I don't mind helping you again." He then left me and I ordered avocado juice. At least I could breathe fresh air because I hadn't left the apartment for a long time.Maybe I will shop for kitchen necessities so
