Chapter 47

Chapter 47:

“He threatened to tell Christian about what happened five years ago. And he had the audacity to blackmail me into keeping his mouth shut.”

If he blackmailed her just to stay quiet and used me for his own pleasure, then it’s time he learned his lesson.

“You’re right. What do we do to him?”

Emily’s POV

It’s been a week since I started staying in the Moonlight Mansion, and I’m loving every bit of the drama going on around here. While trying to save the company with Christian, he keeps making funny advances toward me. I’m enjoying it, but I can’t show him that. I wouldn’t want him to have any hope that I’d be coming back to him when I’m still confused about what I feel, or rather, who to choose.

Tristan shows up occasionally, and Christian is always in a foul mood whenever he comes around. He stays in his room until Tristan leaves.

As for the two other women, I’m sure they’re up to something lately, and I’m curious about what they’re planning. As for Gamma Adrian, he’s done a good job of hiding from me this whole time. It was like someone like that didn’t even exist in the pack. But I will make sure I find him, no matter how much he hides.

I will make him kneel before me and explain why he did what he did to me.

“Hey,” Christian said, walking into my office. He had one of his hands behind him, making me wonder what he brought this time around.

The Alpha Christian I knew was a man who always had this cold expression and a powerful demeanor, but the one I’m seeing recently is just a man begging for a second chance to be loved again. It was like he took a romance course and is doing his very best to make me stay by his side. He keeps surprising me with flowers and different gifts.

There’s no denying that I love the gifts, but then Tristan is here, and I promised to marry him. I wouldn’t want to disappoint a man who took me in without knowing me.

“Hey,” I said, smiling briefly before turning back to my file. I won’t give him the attention he craves.

“I got you this,” he said, stretching a box of chocolates toward me.

I stared at it, smiling inside. It was like he knew exactly what I was craving.

“Thanks for the chocolate,” I said, faking a smile as I looked back at my file.

“You’ve got something on your face,” he said, bending slightly toward me to pick the dirt off.

“What exactly is going on here?” I quickly looked up, recognizing the voice as Tristan’s.

Sheela’s POV

“Are you ready to proceed with the plan?” Vivienne asked, staring at me coldly.

The reason for her stare was because I had refused her plan when she first mentioned it. I can’t imagine myself killing a man, even though I badly wanted to. Adrian has been getting on my nerves lately. Just because I allowed him to be with me once, he now wants it to happen frequently. Each time I refuse, he threatens to tell Christian everything that happened five years ago. This is slowly turning into blackmail, and I’m not sure how much longer I can endure it.

There is a high possibility of getting caught if this repeats itself, and I really don’t want to get involved with a gamma.

Luna Vivienne’s suggestion is good—actually, it’s the best—because the secret will be between just the two of us, and no one else would know. He started this whole thing, and burying him with it is the best solution to our current problem.

“The idea is good, and it would be a lasting solution, but…”
