Chapter 4

My eyes burned red, and my chest felt heavy with helplessness.

Then, something happened that shocked everyone even more.

Charles suddenly dropped to one knee. In full view of the entire crowd, he placed the necklace around Natalia's neck.

"Natalia, will you marry me?"

The hall erupted in gasps.

Natalia's hands flew to her mouth in surprise as tears sparkled in her eyes.

"Yes! I will!"

At that moment, a cold, mechanical voice rang in my head. "Host, your mission has failed."

"Melissa, since you refuse to see reason, your mission will never be completed."

I stood rooted to the spot. As I watched the scene unfold before me, a bitter smile tugged at my lips.

Charles strode over and loomed over me. His voice dropped low, and he spoke in my ear. "You forced me to do this. From now on, you're trapped in this world forever. There's no leaving."

His words dripped with triumph, and his eyes burned with an obsessive light.

"Melissa, you're too unruly. Weren't you always saying you wanted independence and to leave me?"

His lips curved into a cruel smile.

"Fine. I'll make sure no company in the city dares to hire you. Not for work and not for rent. You won't even get to shop or move around. You'll be blocked at every turn."

Then, his tone became even colder. "After this, you'll watch me get engaged, married, and start a family with Natalia. When you're completely cornered, you'll crawl to me, begging to become my mistress."

Charles' face screamed overconfidence, as if he could already see me groveling at his feet.

I almost laughed out loud.

Just moments ago, the system had chimed repeatedly in my head.

"Commercial Insight ability restored."

"Investment Foresight ability restored."

"Fortune Enhancement ability restored."

All the abilities I had spent points on were returned in full and were now boosted inside me.

I was now the true child of fortune and the future richest person in Broxia.

Yet Charles had no idea. He was still trying to bully me with such a clumsy stunt. How laughable.

If he walked out of this auction unscathed, I'd have to admit he had some skill.

I studied him deliberately. A sly smile was playing on my lips. "Oh? Is that so? Then, I'll just have to wait and see."

I naturally looped my arm through Peter's, ready to leave.

"Stop!" Charles roared furiously, trying to chase after us.

However, at that moment, the auction manager approached with a professional smile. "Mr. Sawyer, congratulations! You've won the Tears of Galaxy necklace at a record-breaking price of 100 million. Please proceed with payment."

Charles waved impatiently, then signed the confirmation and immediately called his secretary. "Transfer 100 million from the company account to the auction house now!"

In the next moment, the secretary's panicked voice rang through the speaker across the hall. "Sir! Something bad has happened! Our financial investment has just collapsed. All company accounts are frozen!"

The words hit like a thunderclap. Silence fell over the entire hall.

Then, a flood of phone calls began, ringing like funeral bells.

"Mr. Wright, Sawyer Group just crashed! The stock price is down 50%! Return to the office immediately!"

"Jack, pull your money out of Charles' project! His company's a shell!"

"Leslie, sell all Sawyer Group shares right now!"

After My Husband's Affair, I Met My True Love Alpha Novel Cover
7.6
Warning: This book contains a large number of very hot adult scenes! "Look at the state of you, my little she-wolf," his voice was low and full of menace, like sandpaper scraping across my nerves. "You got this wet just from that?" Then he pressed a hard kiss to my knuckles. Fuck! His rough tongue slid across my slender finger bones, tasting the salty sweat and fear on my skin. A violent tremor shot through my whole body. A moan I couldn't suppress slipped from between my lips. "Ah. Sebastian." I felt my thighs rubbing together on their own, that damn traitorous movement making my pussy clench so tight I nearly came. Yes, that's it, you desperate little bitch. I cursed myself in my mind. He flipped my hand over, his thumb pressing hard-almost punishingly-into the sensitive skin on the inside of my wrist. My pulse pounded there beneath his palm like it was going mad. "This is beating so hard," he whispered, his breath hot against my skin, "is it beating for me, Seraphina? Tell me." Then he took one of my fingers into his damn hot, wet mouth. Oh God. His rough tongue swirled, rubbed, scraped along the skin of my finger, warm saliva soaking every inch. And his eyes never left me-fixing on me like a beast locking onto prey. He sucked softly at first, then suddenly with force. That rhythm. Fuck, he was fucking my finger with his mouth. "Are you using this to fuck my mouth, Seraphina?" He let my finger go with a filthy pop, seeing straight through my thoughts. "Imagine this is my cock. Does it feel good, you filthy little she-wolf?" My back arched uncontrollably, like the lowest kind of whore silently inviting him. A broken, shameful whimper escaped my throat. "Good. so good." My scent thickened, wild floral heat and lust filling the air, swallowing the last of my reason. I could feel the terrifying restraint in his body cracking apart. He wanted to hear me moan his name as I came. He wanted to bury himself inside my soaked, empty heat until I could feel nothing except his violent thrusts. He moved to my middle finger, giving it the same obscene, thorough attention. His tongue circled wickedly at the base, then pushed deep, sucking hard as if tasting the sweetest honey. Fuck! My hips jerked upward without control. My other hand dug into the carpet, knuckles white, vision dissolving in the storm of desire swallowing me whole. "I need you. to fill my pussy, Sebastian." -- I grew up as a human in a wolf pack, but ironically, I ended up becoming the mate of the pack's Alpha. I thought I would fit perfectly into the wolves' world-until the day I caught my Alpha mate tangled with another she-wolf in the back seat of a car. With trembling hands, I tricked him into signing the divorce papers-silently swearing revenge. But they didn't stop. His mother sent thugs to destroy me. His mistress tried to erase me. Even my coworkers wanted to use me. That night, I nearly lost my life. Until Alpha Sebastian found me-cold, ruthless, unmatched. He said he didn't need a mate. But he protected me like a mate. Touched me like a mate. Looked at me like a mate, as if I already belonged to him. I tried to resist his approach. I didn't want to make the same mistake twice. Wolves would never accept a human mate. But whenever he came near me, whenever those scorching hands reached for me, I always hungered for him-wanted more-yet I was done with promises. Until I discovered that my past was not simple at all-and Sebastian had his own reasons for approaching me-
