Chapter 155


    "I was just helping her."


    Ethan''s voice reached Allison''s ears. She turned to him and nodded at him.


    "Yeah, I saw that."


    She nced at Teresa, who was staring at Ethan. She did not know what thereason behind her deep gaze was.


    Ethan held Allison''s hand and said,


    "Let''s go to the office. I want to know the problem you were talking aboutyesterday on the phone."


    Allison headed upstairs with him. She turned to Teresa and said,


    "I will talk to youter."


    "Sure."


    Ethan pulled her with him to the way of his office. But when they wereheading there, they met Ryan, who wasing out of the hallway.


    They paused while looking at him.


    Ryan nced at Ethan''s hand that was grabbing Allison''s wrist.


    Allison tried to break free when she noticed Ryan looking at her hand.


    However, Ethan did not release her hand.


    "Alpha Ryan, Good morning," Ethan said to him.


    Ryan looked at him, ignoring Allison totally.


    "Morning." He responded and passed them.


    Allison turned her head toward him. He did not look back at her for once.


    She lowered her head as she recalledst night. She remembered how muchhe hated her.


    When Ryan was nowhere in their sight, Ethan released her wrist andgrabbed her shoulder. It caused her to turn her attention to him.


    "How long?" He asked.


    "What?"


    "How long will you keep loving him like this?"


    Allison looked away from him, avoided the question, and asked,


    "Why don''t you just step back from the marriage?"


    "And then what? Will you go to him?"


    She shook her head. "No way. I won''t disturb his life. Elora loves him."Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    "And him? Does he love her?"


    His question froze her. But she knew the answer. She heard how much he


    cared about Elora. She had even seen it in the art gallery.


    "Yeah. He also loves her. They are made for each other."


    "Rubbish." He muttered and let go of her shoulder.


    She frowned at him. "What do you mean by it? They look so good together.


    No one can make Elora happier than him. And I think Elora is perfect forhim. She will make him happy as well."


    Ethan red at her as if he did not like her words at all.


    "Stop overthinking." He said and turned to head to his office.


    "What''s wrong with him?" She whispered to herself while following himbehind.


    Ethan reached his office and opened his drawers to take out important files.


    Allison sat in the opposite chair and showed him a few problems inmanagement.


    Ethan stared at the problems on the papers.


    "Do you think they have bad intentions for our pack?"


    "It''s okay. We don''t have to recall everything again."


    "I think the East flow pack is creating some problems. They don''t look likethey are entering into any alliances. Have you seen their pack business?


    They are avoiding our every deal and going for our rival packs." Allisonstood up and pointed her finger at a few red circles that she had markedyesterday.


    "I don''t know. But wasn''t it the head Alpha of the East Flow pack whoattacked you? You almost died to save m-"


    She paused when she recalled that ident. He actually saved her that day.


    Because of her, he did not shift or tried to fight back.


    Allison took a deep breath and sat on the chair. She did not forget his help.


    He saved her a few years ago as well, when she was just a teenager.


    Her father had told her once that he and Alpha Neil had decided to tie theknot that night.


    "Though I know I am always being rude to you, I never forgot how yousaved me." She mumbled.


    Ethan smiled at her. She nced at him and could see regret reflected in hiseyes once again.


    "If I get the chance again, I will save you no matter who is in front of me."


    She lowered her head and shook her head.


    "I don''t deserve your love, Ethan. I don''t deserve your brother either. Ishould live alone. I am a weak and cowardly woman. I should have settledeverything from the beginning. I should not havee into the twobrother''s lives."


    Ethan stood up from his chair and walked toward her. He bent down andcupped her cheeks.


    "Even if I have to leave my happiness, I will protect you from every danger.


    You deserve everything. I should say sorry to you. Everything that ishappening is not your fault. It''s just.." He paused and let go of her cheeks.


    "It''s just what?" She asked and looked at him.


    "Nothing. Just think that it was our fate that tangled all of us together. Weare just pawns of fate."


    Allison got on her feet and replied,


    "I can''t let my fate y with me anymore. I will break the wedding and letmyself free from all kinds ofplicated rtionships."


    Ethan''s eyebrows shot up. He narrowed his eyes.


    "What are you saying?"


    "Please, Ethan. This time, don''t stop me. You said you loved me. If youever loved me for once, then support me and let me go."


    Ethan was caught off guard. He shook his head.


    "You can''t go to him."


    "I won''t. He has his woman. I will leave this pack and go abroad. Maybethere I will start a new life. Just please support me this onest time."


    Ethan stared at her for a while, as if he had no words left.


    Allison felt mad at him. She yelled,


    "Why can''t you understand? We can''t be happy with each other. If youwon''t help me, then don''t. I will talk to your father when he returns. He willsurely help me."


    Ethan did not respond to her. He lowered his head, which made Allisonrealize that he would never let her break the marriage.


    She left his office angrily while mming the door behind her.


    Ethan walked to his chair and sat down. He pressed his hands on hisforehead and muttered,


    "You said that if I ever loved you, I would support you. But because I lovedyou, I made this choice even though I knew it would hurt you. I can''t letyou go, Allison."
