Chapter 2

That afternoon, I went straight back to the company and submitted my resignation letter to my supervisor, Layton Guerra.

"Does Ivy know about your resignation?"

Mr. Guerra was clearly surprised by my decision to leave. After all, I'd been the airline's top flight attendant for seven consecutive years, and staying with the company would guarantee a bright future.

I managed a bitter smile. "I'll tell her tonight, though I doubt she'll care."

"My, my. These past few years, you two flew new routes together and won company awards together. The CEO even attended your wedding personally three years ago. Everyone was so envious, but I suppose..."

Mr. Guerra trailed off with a long sigh, his voice full of regret.

Yes, those were indeed beautiful memories. But memories were just memories. We could never go back.

After submitting my resignation, I returned home around 10:00 pm. The house was eerily quiet and empty. On my phone, a social media post from Owen popped up because he'd specifically tagged me.

The caption read, "Special thanks to my beautiful mentor for staying by my side all afternoon. As a thank you, I'm taking her to Marcus Vale's concert tomorrow! Looking forward to it."

I knew then that Ivy, who'd said she'd come home at noon, wouldn't be returning. This had happened too many times in our three years of marriage.

After making myself a simple bowl of instant noodles, I opened my email.

Looking at the job offers from over ten airlines across different countries, my cursor landed on the one from Meridian Airways in Avalonia. Without hesitation, I clicked accept and booked a flight to Avalonia for the day after tomorrow.

Five years ago, when Ivy was flying to Avalonia, she encountered the biggest incident of her career. Since then, that word—Avalonia—had become her taboo.

Not only did she refuse to fly there herself, but she hadn't let me fly that route once.

"Ivy, once I go to Avalonia, we'll probably never see each other again in this lifetime," I murmured to myself.

The Alpha's Blood debt Vessel

Giovanni was a girl of "worthless" rank, or so they told her. When she's hand-picked to marry Russell Van-Doren-the most ruthless, cold-blooded billionaire Alpha in the tri-state pack-she thinks she's found a miracle. She walks down the aisle with raw sincerity and a reckless sort of hope, unaware that her "miracle" was actually a transaction. Russell doesn't want a wife. He doesn't want a Luna. He wants a clean, high-grade breeding vessel to carry the heir that will solidify his claim over the mafia underworld and the pack's legacy. In the bedroom, he is a storm; in the morning, he is ice. Then came the positive pregnancy test. Trembling with joy, she thought this was the turning point. She thought a child would finally make them a family. Instead, she walked into a conversation that shattered her soul. She wasn't a wife. She wasn't a partner. To Russell, she was nothing more than a biological necessity-a "clean" vessel acquired to incubate an heir and secure his legacy before being discarded. Heartbroken and terrified, Giovanni made a choice. She wouldn't let her child be raised by a monster. She faked her death and vanished. Five years later, the timid girl is gone. In her place stands Dr. Giovanni Kove, a genius surgeon with lethal beauty and a heart of stone. She has returned to the city not to hide, but to dominate. But the game has changed. Russell isn't the only one watching her now. Caught between her vengeful ex-husband who wants his heir, and Xavier-the dangerous, charismatic rival who wants to burn Russell's empire to the ground-Giovanni holds all the cards. The man who once looked at her with disgust is now on his knees. But does he want forgiveness? or is he just hunting his prey?
