In my past life, I was wronged. I was so naive and trusting. My stepmother bullied me, my marriage was ruined by my stepsister, and my father even passed away in a tragic way. As if that was not enough, I was sent to prison wrongfully.
In this life, not only would I accept Ethan as my mate, I would make sure we lived together forever and wouldn't allow myself to be foolishly used again.I could remember that after the wine incident, Ethan didn't come home again. The last time I saw him was the day I tried to kill myself. He came back from the hospital that day and signed the divorce paper like I wished. After that day, he vanished from my life completely.Ethan had one unique personality: when he spoiled me, he was limitless with his love, and when he went cold, he was untouchable as an iceberg.It would be difficult to get him back.But then, it would be foolish not to try. I waited until it was 5 p.m. in the evening, and seeing that he hadn't returned, I showered, dressed up, and headed to his office.**Sharon, Ethan's assistant, stared at me in surprise and rushed to me."Mrs SheIn!. Why are you here all of a sudden?"I glanced around, asking, "Is he in the office?"Sharon kept quiet. I could understand the confusion in her eyes as she contemplated whether I came here to cause another trouble for him.""Uhh, he's in the office, but he's very busy at the moment. Maybe you should wai...."I couldn't let her finish her sentence before walking into his office.It was a modern office with a simple yet luxurious design.Ethan left his father's company and founded his own five years ago due to the malice it was bringing between him and his brothers. However, his company has been doing so well on its own ever since."Why are you here, Charlotte?" Ethan stood up, confused, when he saw me. I didn't visit him much in the office in my previous life, and when I did, I ended up causing trouble for him."Ehmm." I didn't think it through and rushed over to hug him tightly.My action didn't only surprise him; it caused me to be embarrassed as well. Removing my hand at that point would be weird, and staying for the hug was even more weird.Ethan slowly removed my hands from his back and moved back a bit. "Do you need anything?"I raised my head up to see his face . I think his height should be five inches above six feet. "Do you want to come home with me? Now?"Ethan sat back. Stealing a glance at me."I just want to make you dinner, and besides, I didn't see you take breakfast this morning before leaving."He looked me in the eyes with a serious gaze. "You, cook? For me?"I don't remember ever cooking for my husband once. We had servants that did all of that, and I specifically don't cook for people I don't like.I am different now. This was no longer the old, proud, and selfish Charlotte."Yes, just let me know your favorite, and I will make it this night." I glance at him, my brows raising with my smile.Ethan scoffed. He swung his head from left to right and asked, "Since drugging me didn't work, do you want to try poisoning me?"I could hear the pain in his voice. I can't imagine the pain he has gone through for my sake."Drugging your wine yesterday gave me a sleepless night and torture. Imagine who would also get hurt if I poisoned you. Me !""Charlotte I know you are so bent on getting this divorce, even if it would lead you to poison the both of us to death.""Ethan!""After last night's event, based on the hatred you hold for me now, it won't be surprising if you decide to kill me," Ethan said, staring at me with his dark eyes."I'm sorry, that was in the past."Ethan nodded and focused back on his work.For the next thirty minutes. He ignored me completely, like I wasn't there, while carrying out his work.However, I stood there, unmoved, until he decided to talk to me again. I stared, particularly at how handsome he is.In the past, what nut was screwed out of my head for me not to see that the moon goddess blessed me?."What on earth do you want, Charlotte?""I want to have dinner with you. At home." I replied sharply."For divorce's sake, Are you ready to do anything? What are you planning to pull off this time?"He continued flipping through the pages of the documents he was reading. I had to hold on to it to get his attention again."Would you go home, please?"I leaned my face very close to him and said, "Unless you are coming with me.""I'm working"I pulled the chair across from him and sat comfortably. "I will wait. I can't wait for you to finish work so we can return home together.""I will stay late today. I have a meeting with my staff, and I still have to see Father this night."It's okay; I will wait."Ethan closed the file in his hands and stared at me. "What are you really playing at this time?""What more to play at when you have already marked me? I just want to have dinner with my husband. Together. ""If you insist, You can wait. And if you finally come back to yourself, you can go home. I will come back this night, don't worry, and shit! ... I still have to go to the pack elders meeting this evening."He took some random files and left in a hurry.. It was so obvious that he really wanted to throw me out. or rather avoid me.I moved to the cushion, laying and stretching my body while waiting for my husband to return.Feeling someone's eyes on me, I opened them quickly in alarm, only to be caught in his dark gaze. "You are still here?""I thought you were going to leave me alone here this night."Ethan stared at me warmly. However, it was obvious that he still doesn't believe that I have changed. "What time is it? Did I sleep for that long? I feel better now," I asked myself, raising Ethan's wrist to check his Vacheron Constantin watch. It was a few minutes past 9 p.m. I was about to let go of his wrist, but he held mine instead and pinned me to the wall. "What are you planning, Charlotte?"I couldn't breathe properly. He was impermissibly close, and I could smell his woody cologne. I stared at the greenest eyes I had ever come across. And she said with determination, "After yesterday's night, I decided to give our relationship a rethink.""A rethink? And that also leads to divorce, right?"I bit my lips slowly,pulled his neck, and leaned forward to kiss his red lips. Ethan's eyes widened in s
Luna's choosing a game!. It was more of a death trap than a game. That was what my father once said when I was still little—who knew I would participate in one myself one day? All through the night, I kept thinking about what it would be like. My mother-in-law doesn't like me, and she would even do anything within her power to make sure I was not chosen. I thought mate bonding was supposed to be all that I had to do. I looked at my surroundings and sighed. I slept in Ethan's room but woke up in mine. Does he really not want me again, or is he just avoiding trouble? I threw the sheet in a corner and headed out to look for him. The moment I opened the door, I saw him standing right at the door and adjusting his wrist watch. I could smell that he had just showered. "Are you feeling unwell?" Ethan asked, seeing my pale skin and my drowsy eyes. He placed his hands on my forehead, avoiding the part that was a bit swollen. I involuntarily hugged him tightly. I didn't even realize th
I smirked at what Isabella just said. I know she has her own plans. Maybe it was through Luna's choosing game that she got what she wanted. I won't be surprised if I find out that she tricked all the participants to win.However, too bad for her, Ethan is already working against that game taking place. He insisted to his father that he wouldn't marry another woman and make her his luna just because she found a way to win a life-threatening game. "Good for you, Isabella. I guess you will be competing with your elder sister for her husband.""No Charlie. I will just make sure you don't win the game, and when I win, I will also make sure I don't get married to him. That way, you can easily get a divorce and live in peace."I nod my head at her beautiful suggestion. I was about to tell Madam Lucy to bring out all of our wedding pictures, enlarge the most beautiful ones, and hang them in the sitting room, but then I got a call from the hospital. I drove straight to the general hospital
When I left the hospital, it was already dark. Ethan had called me repeatedly and even offered to drive me home, but I assured him I was okay. My phone dinged again, and since I was relaxed in the car, I decided to check out what notifications I had been receiving since morning."Oh shit! No way did I forget about that?!" I screamed as I read out the notification: October 30th, Ethan Sheln's birthday !I bit my lips in regret; I couldn't even wish him a happy birthday. How would he then believe I had changed for the better? "Could you stop me over there?" I pointed to Terrace Jewelry and Co. once I sighted it. It is one of the best jewelry shops in the Crimson Stone Pack. They have gold, silver, diamonds—whatever gem you want, just name it; they've got it. When I got into the store, the sales personnel didn't bother to attend to me. The reason was obvious. This store is for the rich and influential members of the pack, but today I dressed so casually because I had to rush, so I w
The luxury shop was in the district. Many people had already gathered, both inside and outside.cameras were flicking. "Don't try to change the topic. Are you able to buy this wrist watch? If you are not able to say so now, I will pay for it.".Surprisingly, I was neither shocked nor bothered. The more people came, the more my smile grew. If I wanted to deal with these two, there were several methods I could use.However, standing here and allowing them to take advantage of me is not my character. Not when it's a low-ranking werewolf like Mrs. Veronica, who's not even qualified to be shown in public. "I have a lot of things going on at the moment, and today is exceptionally busy. You both can continue your shopping while I pretend that I never met you guys here.""Stop acting aloof, crazy runt. Do you think you are so special? Let's wait and see if you will manage to pass the first test of Luna's game. At the end of the day, you will be thrown out and rejected," Stephanie said, stan
I glanced behind me, staring in shock at Ethan's cold and straight figure now walking towards me. How did he know I was here? Why would he show up here? Or was it a coincidence?The people watching from the sidelines were also shocked. They all bent and hid their faces from his imposing figure.The moment Mrs. Veronica and Stephanie turned around and saw Prince Ethan,. Their faces froze in shock."My lovely wife was deserted by her family? How do I know if this? " Ethan. Asked in. Low tone. Although his question was inoffensive, the temperature in the shop dropped in an instant. One of the sales attendants, the particular one who was very rude to me earlier, stood out and bowed her head, almost touching her knees. "CEO Sheln, why would you be here at this time?"Ethan didn't spare her a glance. He walked to where I stood. The employees at the side unconsciously stepped back. I raised my hand and smiled. " I am fine. There's no need to stand up for me."Whoever called him to this p
The evening sky was heavy, and it started to drizzle. The street seemed very bleak at night, accentuated by the fall of the hazy drizzle, which made the streetlight seem a little dimmer. The autumn air was cold, yet standing by Ethan's side, I didn't feel any cold. I finally found the moment to ask the question that has been on my mind ever since."How did you know I was in there?"Ethan didn't reply; he gently opened the door for me to enter. "Get in the car."I got in the car. "What do you want to eat?" Ethan also got in the car and asked. I really felt bad at that moment. It was his birthday and not mine yet. I have stressed him enough, and he was still going to buy me food?"I will eat anything you want, but the bills are on me.""It's fine; spend your time on me; I will spend the money," his warm voice said as he adjusted and fixed my seat belt. I couldn't help it. I blushed at his response and looked away. "Meanwhile. The issue of your card being frozen, you didn't let me kn
"A middle-aged woman was found laying in the pool of her own blood this morning. Luckily, she was still alive and had just lost an arm. She's being rushed to the hospital for immediate medical attention. The new Alpha's crowning will be in the coming weeks; however, the custom is about a Luna being selected."I didn't care much about what they were saying about Luna's selection. I stared in disbelief at the woman I saw on the screen. Mrs. Veronica was almost the ghost of herself. As if the hand she grabbed me with yesterday was amputed. "Are you scared?" Ethan asked, messaging my hands with smiles. I understand that he was mad that the woman caused trouble with me yesterday, but he was looking too happy for someone whose pack member just got an attack."."No. It's just terrible and unfortunate for her. I hope she wakes up. I wonder who did this thing to her.""The pack elders will look into it, so don't worry a bit about that." Ethan's calm, sooting voice came again, but then the smi
