With a final disdainful nce, she vanished through the door.


    I rubbed my temples, frustration mounting.


    Damn it! Misunderstood yet again.


    Once Jenifer had left, I couldn’t contain my anger any longer.


    “Alexandria, leave now.


    This isn’t your concern.


    You can’t just barge into my home.


    ”


    Alexandria clutched the medicine box tightly, defiance flickering in her eyes.


    “No, I must stay.


    Allow me to apply the medicine.


    You’re injured, Alpha.


    Neglecting treatment risks infection.


    ”


    Impatiently, I threatened her.


    “If you don’t leave now, don’t me me for being rude!”


    Her resolve faltered a tad bit.


    “Fine.


    .


    ”


    Reluctantly, she ced the medicine box on the floor.


    “Remember to disinfect the wound,” she reminded me softly before turning to Leave.


    “f@ck off!”


    Tears welled in her eyes as she retreated, wounded by my rejection.

    “Humph.


    ”


    I scoffed derisively, tearing my gaze away.


    No amount of Caleb’s resistance could sway my resolve.


    I was determined to im my ce as the new hostess of the vi.


    Running a hand through my hair and smoothing out the wrinkles in my clothes, I retrieved my mirror from my bag to ensure my wless appearance remained intact.


    Satisfied, I emerged from my hiding spot and approached the waiting car.


    “Take me home,” I instructed the driver.


    The car sped off, hurtling towards my home.Content held by N?velDrama.Org.


    However, the moment I stepped through the door, my father was upon me, delivering a stinging p across my cheek.


    Caught off guard, my head snapped to the side from the force of the p.


    My ears rang, and my bnce faltered, sending me crashing to the floor.


    Clutching my stinging cheek, I struggled to steady my breath.


    “Dad?”
