Chapter 75


    Chapter 75


    Alessia’s POV


    “I think we should put an end to this.”


    Those words keep echoing in my head even after Caden left the room, leaving me naked and


    alone.


    I just don’t get it. Everything was fine. Well, as fine as it could be. We had an agreement and then


    out of the blue, Caden said he wanted us to end things. What brought that on?


    I sigh, begging my mind to shut down. I’m tired of going back and forth with Caden who keeps


    acting like a man-child. One minute, he’s calling me his lover and calling off my rejection, and then


    in the next second, he’s pulling away and saying that we should put an end to what we’re doing.


    Ahhh! He’s so insufferable.


    I just wish that he’d stop ying with my head and just give it to me straight.


    That’s it!


    I’m going to his office right this instant to demand that he exin his behaviors to me. Why does he


    keep running hot and cold? Why does he keep pulling me towards him and then pushing me away?


    Whatever the reason is, it ends today.


    I power walk up the stairs and towards his office. We just had dinner and I know his office is the


    ce he retires to. If he isn’t in there, then I’ll try his room next.


    As my footsteps inch closer to his door, I get a whiff of his scent, letting me know that he’s in there. I


    pause when I get to the front of the door as another scent assaults my nostrils. Veronica’s scent.


    What is she doing in there?’ Zuri growls, itching toe up to the surface and gouge Veronica’s


    beautiful eyes out of her skull.


    As much as I love the images she presents to me, I force her down. Her rushing in and tearing


    Veronica’s head off her shoulders isn’t going to get us anywhere.


    I stand in front of the door, doing what I can only refer to as eavesdropping. But can you me me?


    The woman who is obsessed with my mate is in a closed room alone with him and I need to know


    what they’re talking about.


    “Thank you foring to me with this information,” Caden says, sounding closer than he ought to


    be if he was sitting behind his desk.


    The reason for thates when Veronica talks, sounding even closer than Caden did.


    Turning on my heels, I race to the corner, pressing my back against the wall, keeping me just out of


    sight. If they should head this way then I’ll be very screwed but I really want to know why she’s in


    the room with him.

    I rx when I don’t hear their footsteps heading my way and finally get the courage to peep around


    the corner and see what they’re doing.


    Veronica is outside the room and Caden is leaning on the wooden frame with his hand resting on


    the opened door, keeping it open.


    “If you have any more information, feel free toe see me again.”


    Caden is disying a rare kindness that I hardly ever see shown to a


    anyone.


    Why is it directed at her? I smolder with jealousy when I see him grace her with a sweet smile.


    Something that is hardly even given to me.


    Veronica grins widely, enough that I fear her mouth may just split from ear to ear. “I’m happy I was


    able to help out. Even if it just proves to be a false rm, I’m happy I was still able to assist in the


    search.”


    Are they talking about the search for the mastermind behind all those attacks? What information did


    she provide to Caden and why does he look so grateful for it?


    The questions in my head all die down as Veronica rests her hand on Caden’s muscled arm. “You


    must be having such a hard time. Her hand slides down his arm until she gets to his clenched fist


    resting by his side. “I’m here for you and I promise to help you in any way that I can.”


    Only an idiot will mistake the note of innuendo i ways she wants to help him.


    her words for something else. It’s in and clear what


    Caden is watching her silently, his expression hidden from my view so I can’t really see what’s on


    his mind. after hearing her statement. Is he considering it? Is he going to ept her barely veiled


    proposal? Is he going to pull her into his office and-


    I shake my head. My thoughts going down that road is just going to lead to me torturing myself. Of


    course, he’s going to ept her proposal. She’s f u c k i n g beautiful and he did call off our


    arrangement so he’s going to need toe up with another arrangement with someone else.


    Someone like… Veronica. She’s willing and avable. The icing on the cake has to be that she isn’t


    his fated second chance mate.


    Then I’m running away from the two of them, not wanting to hear when Caden epts her


    proposal. What am I going to do if he decides to seal it with a kiss?


    Is she the reason Caden called off our arrangement? Did he already have ns to go to her and


    didn’t want our messy rtionship standing in his way?


    Running down the stairs, I head straight for my room and push the door open. Shutting it behind


    me, I walk towards the bed, falling face down onto it.


    Then the s o b s wreck over my body. I can’t stop them once they start. No matter how much I tell


    myself that I’m being s t u p i d by crying over something that was never mine, I still can’t make the


    tears stop falling.
