Still Alpha Zane’s POV


    Of course, I can’t leave my girl to fight her battles on her own.


    I got up from my chair, put on my jeans and sweater and walked downstairs with rita to meet Diggens. He knows me, we went through thepany’s contracts together, sat around the table for hours.


    As we get closer to him, his face tenses.


    He winces as he continues to stare at me. “Matt. I’m sure your presence here has something to do with my divorce petition. You must have seen iting after I caught you in your office with your secretary,” rita begins. But the man’s eyes are fixed on me,pletely ignoring the woman next to me.


    “Zane, is that you? Are you holding my wife on that yacht of yours? Did you seduce her and that’s why she wants a divorce?” The man in front of me must be incredibly stupid or have a brain defect. Didn’t I just hear rita exin the circumstances of her divorce?


    “Don’t drag Zane into our private affairs, Matt, I caught you red-handed. And that makes our marriage null and void. It’s like a breach of contract, so our marriage is already over. Now we just have to settle it legally.” He slowly takes his eyes off me and looks disapprovingly at his ex-wife.


    “Whether our marriage is invalid is not something you decide by yourself, rita. I also have a say in that. And divorce is out of the question. We should still talk to see how to solve our problems and possibly seek counseling. Separation is extreme, we are not there yet”.


    “That is your version. For me, adultery is the end. I have a feeling that your secretary is not the only one. All the women at your side were probably your mistresses too, because you never went public with me”. Her voice sounds pained at the end, apanied by a sob.


    I cradle her waist and pull her closer to me.


    “Mr Diggens. Thest time we met wasn’t under the best of circumstances either,” I sigh. “And here I am listening to rita having an unpleasant situation with you as well.” Bored, I look at the man, he’s not getting any better in life.


    “And as for stealing from your ex-wife”. I look at rita, who is now purring by my side. “She has a mind of her own, I didn’t force her to do anything. She obviously feels morefortable with me than with you. You’d better sign the contract Juan sent you soon,” I advised him.


    “So you can take her away from me? Respect yourself, Zane. She is a married woman. You are undermining my marriage,” the man blurts out in a fit of anger. He takes a step forward, apparently to grab rita. I shove her behind me and turn to face Diggens again.


    But then another car stops behind him.


    Juan gets out and saunters towards us. “Diggens, have you reallye here toplicate things? I don’t believe my eyes.” Standing next to the man, he pulls out an envelope and holds it out to him. Diggens’ eyes fly over the lines as his face grows redder by the second.


    “Do we have an agreement, Mr Diggens? Of course you can still go to court and contest your divorce and make your ex-wife’s life miserable. After all, we all know that you have already moved on”.


    I chuckle and leave it to Juan to settle the matter properly.


    When he hands Diggens a pen, I can barely contain myughter. The man’s fingers tremble as he takes it, but he still looks up at rita.


    “You want the money you gave me back, rita? Really? I thought we were a team when you handed it to me. To save ourpany. And now you want it back. Do you know what this means to me? I will have to start looking for partners again to make investments”.


    “No. You won’t find anyone, you’re broke, Diggens. In a couple of weeks, I’ll buy yourpany and gift it to rita. You can start clearing out your personal things.” I stare back at him confidently.


    rita stiffens beside me, her grip on my arm tightening.


    I pat her hand to calm her down. “You were practically bankrupt already. It was her money that saved your business, which makes her the rightful owner. She now gets back what she invested.”


    “Just sign here, Mr Diggens. There are some other documents attached that I am sure will interest you,” Juan reminded him.


    I have never seen anyone confirm their divorce so quickly. Sweat glistens on Diggens’ forehead as he puts his signature on the paper.Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.


    “Done, then. I’ll register it with the marriage officer right away,” thewyer sneers. “Congrattions, Mr. Diggens, you’re a free man again, back on the singles market.”


    “Zane, you can’t do this. Just because you want my wife, you are destroying my business. This is outrageous,” he still stuttered. There was no trace of the confident man who had arrived here with so much bravado.


    “Don’t me me. Your ex-wife caught you hot in the act, bear the consequences like a man. Juan offered you a better deal, but you had toe here with your drama. And now the circumstances have changed. I keep the girl and thepany goes to her. You are left empty-handed.” I peck rita on the lips and take her back to the yacht.


    Diggens is still cursing behind us. Juan has left, I bet he went straight to the divorce registry. He is not a man of half measures.


    “I want to celebrate this, Zane. This happened faster than I thought. I can’t believe I’m free again,” rita exims. She grabs her mobile phone and orders a couple of bottles of champagne from the yacht club.


    Two hourster, Juan sends me a screenshot of the registration of the divorce papers.


    When rita reads it, she flips out with joy.


    The two warriors, Mase and Amelia, celebrate wildly with her, while I remain sober…
