**Chapter 485: The Terminator of Misfortune**
In the midst of a bustling crowd, Alpha Henry’s voice rang out, laced with a playful charm. “How should I not be?” he asked, a warm smile gracing his lips. “Aside from the day I was born, I am just like you. Anything that others can achieve, I can too! You may think I’m lowering myself, but for the sake of your smile, I would gladly wear the mask of a clown for eternity!”
Aubrey stood frozen, her heart racing in a flurry of emotions. The words hung in the air, and she felt a flutter of panic rise within her. She had hoped to hear something more profound, something that reflected the gravity of what had transpired earlier that day.
But deep down, she recognized the truth in Alpha Henry’s words. How could someone like him—a top-tier Alpha, revered and admired by all—ever consider playing the fool? It seemed utterly out of character, a stark contradiction to the image he had cultivated.
Noticing her bewilderment, Alpha Henry’s smile broadened, his eyes sparkling with mischief.
“There’s no hierarchy when it comes to people, nor should there be in matters of the heart,” he declared, his voice imbued with sincerity.
He gently took Aubrey’s hand in his, his purple eyes shining with an intensity that made her heart skip a beat.
“Did you enjoy my little performance? Lucky lady, remember my name—The Terminator of Misfortune! With my presence, all your bad luck is banished!”
Aubrey couldn’t help but chuckle at his playful bravado, but before she could respond, a small voice piped up nearby.
“Then… Mr. Terminator of Misfortune, can you perform another magic trick?” A little boy had approached, his tiny fingers tugging at Alpha Henry’s pant leg, his eyes wide with excitement.
With a gentle smile, Alpha Henry knelt down, ruffling the boy’s bandaged head. “Of course! What’s your favorite animal, young man?”
The boy beamed, his face lighting up. “I like cats the most!”
“Then for my final act, I shall perform a balloon magic trick!” Alpha Henry announced, his enthusiasm infectious.
He deftly inflated several long balloons, his fingers twisting and turning them with expert precision until a lifelike balloon cat emerged.
“Wow! It’s beautiful!” The little boy exclaimed, his hands eagerly accepting the colorful creation. Laughter erupted from the surrounding crowd, their expressions shifting from surprise to joy. In that moment, Alpha Henry was no longer the intimidating figure they had known; he transformed into a warm, approachable Alpha, a jester spreading happiness.
Aubrey stood there, her gaze fixed on him. As she watched him interact with the delighted crowd, she saw not the cold, commanding Alpha she had often feared, but a joyful spirit, a clown at heart, genuinely committed to bringing smiles to those around him.
Every gesture he made was infused with sincerity, and in that moment, she recalled a saying she had once encountered: *You will always meet that one person who can heal all your wounds.* And here he was, right before her.
“Do you love me… just how much do you truly love me?” she finally mustered the courage to ask, her voice barely above a whisper.
Alpha Henry’s lips curled into a soft smile, a look of deep affection illuminating his features. When he smiled, it was as if the world around him faded, leaving only the two of them, and his enchanting purple eyes held her captive.
“I am prepared to give everything for you,” he murmured, his voice low and intimate. He caressed her cheek gently, sending shivers down her spine. “Meet me on the rooftop in five minutes. I’ll be waiting for you there.”
With that, he turned and walked away, leaving Aubrey in a whirlwind of curiosity and anticipation. Though she felt an urge to rush after him, she respected his request, waiting the full five minutes before making her way to the rooftop. She wanted to give him the time he needed to prepare whatever surprise he had in store.
At last, she pushed open the door to the rooftop, her heart pounding in her chest!
Alpha Henry stood there, impeccably dressed in a formal suit, a diamond ring glinting in his hand. A red carpet unfurled from her to him, and the entire setting resembled a scene from a fairy tale engagement, awash in romance and elegance.
Surrounding them were countless reporters, their cameras poised, capturing every moment. Above them, drones hovered, broadcasting live to the world. In that instant, it became clear: Alpha Henry was once again proposing, and the entire world was about to witness it.
“Aubrey,” he began, his voice steady yet filled with emotion, “do you know what has occupied my thoughts the most since I fell in love with you?”
She could hardly breathe, her heart racing as she listened intently.
“I often think about how wonderful it would be if you still loved me as you once did—clinging to me, focused solely on us. I adore you, every facet of who you are, but there’s a part of me that yearns for the warmth of your smile, the one I haven’t seen in far too long. I dream of the day I can witness it again.”
“But the old me was useless,” Aubrey interjected, her voice firm as she looked directly into his eyes.
“The old me was like a shameless, sticky candy! I was not beautiful, nor could I be cold and sharp! I was laughably foolish! And you never liked her. You hated her!”
As she spoke, her heart ached with the weight of her past, but in that moment, she also felt the flicker of hope that perhaps, just perhaps, things could be different now.
In the radiant glow of the rooftop, amidst the flicker of cameras and the collective breath of an expectant audience, Aubrey felt the weight of her insecurities begin to lift. Alpha Henry’s words resonated deeply within her, unraveling the tightly wound threads of doubt that had long held her captive. As he spoke of love and longing, she realized that the journey they had embarked on together was not merely a pursuit of perfection but a testament to vulnerability and growth. The laughter they shared earlier echoed in her heart, reminding her that the essence of their connection was built on authenticity, not the polished façades they often wore. In this moment, she understood that love was not about erasing the past but embracing it, flaws and all.
With the diamond ring glimmering in his hand, Alpha Henry offered more than just a proposal; he extended an invitation to reclaim the joy they had once shared. Aubrey’s heart swelled with a mix of fear and exhilaration as she contemplated the leap of faith before her. No longer shackled by the shame of her former self, she recognized that the love they shared could heal the wounds of yesterday. As she looked into his earnest eyes, she felt a surge of courage, ready to step into a future where they could redefine their love story together.
