Ethan’s face contorted with rage as he stalked forward. “I won’t divorce you,” he growled. “Not until I die.”
I lowered my gaze, weighing my words carefully. “So why did you hug Chole at the airport instead of me?” I asked. “Weren’t you with her the whole time? Spending nights after nights together?”
Ethan’s jaw twitched. “I was… forced to be with her. She threatened suicide every day. She said she’d kill herself if I didn’t
-So you stayed with her?” I echoed. “Afraid she’d kill herself over you. But who is she to you, even now, that you care so much about her life? Clearly, you still love her-otherwise, you would have picked me instead of her. You wouldn’t have just left me at the airport while I was in a wheelchair.”
He opened his mouth to speak and then closed it.
Bob looked between us, brow furrowed. “Is that true?”
Ethan swallowed hard. “She made me… she kept calling…”
“Oh, stop it. Why don’t you tell the truth?” Ethan sudden)- changed his tone. “Aren’t you divorcing me to be with
Alexander? Am I not just a pebble in your way?”
Bob glanced at me quickly, noticing the tension in my shoulders. His eyes flickered, as if trying to discern the real reason behind the divorce. Was I playing games with both
Alphas? Ethan looked at me sharply, clearly expecting a confession.
So I clarified, “Alexander is my boss. How dare you raise such clouded suspicions about me? I’m pushing for a divorce because of you-and you alone. Because you cheated on me.”
Bob’s posture stiffened. Ethan looked flushed, caught between his father’s expectations and his wife’s revelations.
I met Ethan’s eyes. “And do you really want to know the truth?”
He nodded, tense as a beast in a cage.
I said, “I have nothing to gain from lying. I’ve only ever interacted with Alexander professionally-as my employer, nothing more. If you and your father spread rumors that I’m using him, I’ll make sure the Green family sues. You already know the power they hold. They won’t hesitate. They do not tolerate rumors involving the Alpha’s woman.”
Bob shuffled a crisp document in his pocket. Ethan’s face paled, but he opened his mouth to argue then closed it when!eld up two fingers.
“One: surveillance shows Alexander came to see my leg. He stayed less than sixty seconds. There’s a timestamp, Camera footage. Want to check it?”
Ethan’s breathing hitched. He took a shaky step forward, one hand searching for my phone.
I raised mine. “Second: I have recordings. Chole herself called me while she was with you. Talking to me in between… intimate moments. If you decide to play that off as ‘acting, then good luck-because the recording device picks up a lot more than you expect. I can release it.”
The silence stretched so long it became sharp.
Ethan lurched forward and grabbed my wrist. “You-You can’t…”
I jerked away and pointed to the table. My voice was low, but every word sounded like a whip. “Don’t touch me. What you did was wrong. And I’m giving you one chance to make this clean.”
I looked at Bob, whose jaw was clenched like steel.
“The thought of this spilling into court terrifies both of your families,” I said. “You know it will be front page news-Alpha cheated, mistress rings, threats of suicide. Are you sure you want that?”
Bob exchanged a pained look with Ethan before firming his shoulders. “Ethan, file the divorce. Now!”
Ethan’s shoulders collapsed. He stared at me, and his eyes were wet. His voice shook when he spoke. “I will… cooperate with any legal action you take.”
He turned toward Bob, eyes downcast, as if expecting punishment.
Bob simply nodded and whispered something to the butler. Then he stood and slowly walked to the door.
He paused in the doorway, glanced at me again, and said quietly, “This is better for all involved-now!” Then he turned and left.
Ethan didn’t say a word.
He just sat there across the long dining table, still wearing that ridiculous entitled expression, and started eating. Fork in one hand, knife in the other, like we were having some civil dinner instead of me begging him-again-for freedom.
“You’re seriously going to ignore everything I just said?” I asked, eyebrows raised.
He didn’t look up. “Why don’t you just sit and eat!”
“I’m not hungry, Ethan. I’m trying to end this marriage with a shred of dignity.”
He swallowed and finally glanced at me. “Then stop playing with that Alexander/guy. You think I don’t know what’s going on?”
I slammed my hand on the table. “There isnothinggoing on! And even if there was, you lost the right to have an opinion the moment you crawled into Chole’s bed!”
He pushed back his chair and stood up, slowly walking toward me.
I instinctively stepped back. “Don’t try to intimidate me.”
“I’m not,” he said, voice quiet. “I’m just… tired of hearing the same things.”
I shook my head. “Then do something new. Sign the divorce papers.”
He didn’t respond. Instead, in one swift motion, he reached out and grabbed my arm. I tried to pull away, but his grip tightened.
“Let go of me!”
Before I could shout again, I heard a scuffle at the entrance.
“What-?” I turned and saw my bodyguard being shoved to the ground by two of the Hawthrone security team. My heart leapt.
“Hey! What the hell do you think you’re doing?” I yelled.
One of them looked straight past me and gave Ethan a slight nod. He didn’t say a word. Instead, he scooped me up like I was a rely doll. I kicked, thrashed, and punched at his chest, but he flinched.
“Put me down! Are you insane?!”
“You’ll understand soon,” he muttered.
“I swear to God, if you don’t let go of me-
He shoved open the front door, walked down the steps, and carried me straight to his car. I was screaming now, fully aware that every passing staff member in the Hawthrone estate saw this and didnothing.
Once inside, he locked the doors and hit the accelerator.
I banged my fist on the passenger side window. “This is kidnapping! Do you want me to press charges?”
He didn’t respond. His jaw was clenched, his knuckles white on the wheel.
The car lurched forward and sped through the estate’s iron gates.
And just then, it happened-we brushed past another car that had just pulled up to the gate.
I turned my head and saw her.
