    Chapter 88


    Dimitri:


    “What do you mean that Charlotte didn’te?” | asked, frowning in confusion.


    “| have been here for the past hour, and no one showed up. | tried walking around, thinking that | might find her, but nothing, she


    is not here.” He said, and | tapped my desk twice, knowing that unless she was in trouble, she wouldn''t have bailed like that.


    “Go home, if something happens, | will call you.” | said, and he hummed in


    response.


    The two of us hung up and | tapped the desk twice, getting lose in my thoughts for a few seconds before getting up from my


    chair.


    The office was one that | made for Charlotte in specific. The two of us have had our memories here, especially since it was the


    first thing that | ever made for her after she gave everything up to be with me. And | had to admit, despite everything, | couldn’t


    help but find myself smiling at the memory.


    | sighed, shaking my head before turning to the door, knowing that these thoughts were going to lead me nowhere but trouble.


    | barely just got to fix my rtionship with Aurora, and the idea of her finding out about any of this was not something that |


    wanted. | didn’t know how she was going to react to it in the first ce, and regardless, | didn’t want to open up a topic that was


    nonexistent to me, especially when it concerned a woman like Charlotte.


    “| said a word,” | heard from outside the office. “He is my husband...”


    “Ma’am, with all due respect...”


    “You can ask him if you are fucking doubting...”


    “Aurora?” | asked, walking out of the office to catch sight of her in front of the security men. Their eyes were wide in surprise as


    they saw her anger, and | couldn’t help but find myself taking a deep breath as | tried fighting off the heavy feeling that settled in


    my chest.


    “What is the meaning of this?” | asked, stopping her from saying another word. The fact that | couldn’t catch her scent told me


    that she had something to mask it on. My woman wanted toe here without me knowing that she wasing, and whatever


    the reason was, | knew that she didn’te here to say hello. “What is the meaning of you stopping my wife at the door?”


    “Boss, we apologize, we were not aware...”


    “Of course, you were not.” Aurora said, stopping one of the security men. Her eyes met mine for a second and | couldn’t help but


    frown when | saw tears filling her eyes as they brimmed her vision. She was quick to wipe them before turning to


    the security man. “As you may know, this building belongs to his ex, lover, mistress, whatever you might want to call her; you


    know, you can’t really expect to know about me when he’s bought this ce for her, am | wrong?”


    “Aurora...” | said, taking a step toward her. | extended my hand to touch her, wanting to understand what was going on, but she


    raised her hand, ring at me.


    “Do not think of touching me, Dimitri.” She said, her chest rising and falling as she spoke. “Do not think of touching me, EVER,


    do you fucking understand me?”


    | looked at the men, nodding at them to be dismissed before turning my attention. to my mate. Her heart raced, and she shook


    her head at me before | took a step back, wanting her to follow me inside the office.


    “Fine, | won''t touch you, but the two of us are going to have to talk...”


    “About you wanting Charlotte toe to thepany that you bought for her? Or about you sending Ivan to wait for her ina


    garden to pick her up? Did you


    nk that


    you could take me for a fool...?”


    “You followed my beta,” | stated, and she shook her head.


    “She came to the pack to inform me of where you were, challenging me to find. you. She challenged me to do so if | trusted that


    the two of us were mates, and guess what?” Aurora asked, refusing to move an inch toward the office. | knew that she was now


    angry and if Charlotte had something to do with it, then | shouldn’t. have been surprised. But the idea of this happening was not


    one that | wanted, and Charlotte ying a game on me was another thing that | was furious about. “She was fucking right. Now,


    rather than me smiling and calling my mate the man who wants to at least try being with me, | am stuck...”


    “Can you at least give me a chance to listen to what | am going to tell you...?” “Why? For you to y with my head? Or for you to


    feed me more lies because. you know that | am...”


    m not going to prove to you, nor would | try to prove that | did not intend toe here to cheat on you.” | said, stopping her.


    “But if you are choosing to fall for something as pathetic as this from the woman who you know wants nothing more than to...


    “Really? You are seriously speaking to me about something like this when | am your mate, your wife, and partner, and she is a


    mistress.” She asked, ring at me. “You got me a fucking ne when | almost died to give birth to our daughter, and though


    | love her and do not regret her and nothing that you are going to give me is going to mean more than she does; you gave me a


    ne. Then we have the mistress...”Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.


    “She is no mistress,” | said, and Aurora raised an eyebrow. “I ended things between us and if the two of us were together long


    before you entered my life, then you have no right to judge me based on a past that you do not even know.”


    She looked at me for a second, her chest rising and falling with each breath that she took before she took a step forward to look


    at me. Her eyes met mine and her


    next words felt like a dagger was stabbed in my chest before it was pulled out, leaving me to bleed.


    “Yes, your past, that is why you are here, isn’t it?” She asked, taking a step back. “Enjoy your mistress. That is all you''ll be


    getting anyway after you''ve just lost me. Might as well have someone to satisfy your S**ual needs, no?”
