You understand if I tell him something about it: You will have to go through a lot of things that you don’t want to. On top of that, maybe I would get pregnant artificially after your father force you to get some procedure. This way or that way, your father will make sure you give him an heir. In the last five years, he has been thinking that you still can’t get over the overload of work. That’s why you aren’t interested in child. But you know it better that he can do anything to get an heir. Like he made your mother -!”
Before she could complete the last sentence, Spencer grabs her face and bumps her skull against the wall. It wasn’t too harsh to bleed but it has shaken her up.
“Before talking anything bad about my mother, think twice, Jasmine! I understand why you are so desperate. But remind you. You are just a Luna with no marriage certificate or no acknowledgement. In public we are a married couple but behind. the door, you are just another woman who I don’t want to be near me. It’s not another woman. I just don’t want you or anyone around me.”
Jasmine’s eyes full of tears shift on that giant body. She has spoiled her own plan by mentioning his mother but she isn’t going to lose this game.
“I apologize for saying something stupid but like I said… You must accept me. You can kill me or hide me anywhere. But we both know, you can’t escape from this fake marriage. But I have a proposal if you don’t want me to tell your father!”
Spencer’s left brow raises with suspension.
“Take me to the cruise party. Play the nice husband game.” She caresses his face. ” At least give me your full attention there.”
“You have a death wish, don’t you?”
“No. I just want to get acknowledged as Luna in front of the public. Like you said – We are married in front of the public. Treat me this way. Or I will destroy your life. Entirely!”
She pushes him away from her and grabs the purse.
“I want you to take me there. Otherwise, I will do worse than it Even faking a suicide like your ex-wife. This time, the game will be different. Your ex-wife was neglected and nobody was there for her. But to me, your father is enough to make things hard for you… So be wise.”
As soon as she walks out with that smug look on her face, a loud sound of
a
punch
on the wall creates thousands of echoes.
The indistinct sound of grinding teeth remains as he grabs his phone and hits the call to Leon’s number without any hesitation.
“Alpha! Where are you? I have been trying to -!”
“Include Jasmine with Beta Ostra’s investigation.” He orders. The intensity of his gaze and the deep coldness of his voice deliver the seriousness of his words to Leon.
Leon pauses for a second before his hand reaches his temple. “You said you want to keep Luna Jasmine away from any political conflicts! Alpha!” Leon reminds him of his words.
“I’ve changed my mind. So do what I asked you to. And confirm the reservation for two. Jasmine will attend the party with
mer
Leon frowns confusedly since his words aren’t syncing with each other. Once he wants him to investigate her and again wants to bring her with him. But he doesn’t have any right to question it since his Alpha sounds serious.
Okay, Alpha Ideliver the message to Luna as well!”

Spencer glances at the phone for a few seconds before throwing it on the couch. His eyes are fighting to close. After a long time, he doesn’t feel like he needs a bottle of wine or cans of beer to get drunk and fall asleep. It feels natural. This place feels home and his soul is in peace.
With his pants on, he sits on the couch and keeps staring at the chandelier.
Benedetta bought it when they first moved here. Although he didn’t like her nosy and clingy attitude, she decorated the house like a cozy home. Where you would never feel bored. It is hundred times smaller than the Packhouse but it felt like
home.

Although her voice always irritated him but the way she kept the surroundings lively, it felt home. The smell of the food is long gone. The scent of freshly brewed coffee or baked cookies is no longer here. Yet, those useless memories that he never wanted to cherish suddenly become the most important memories in his life. The distinct feeling of disgust and annoyance subsided by the time.
Six years, he was there with that small annoying Omega who did everything to get his attention but he never prioritized. But before he could understand that he became used to her presence around him, she was gone.
That day when the doctor announced her death, he was too scared of returning here. He didn’t want to feel the emptiness of that house. He knew he would be disappointed If he didn’t smell the soft scent of flowers, milk tea or the scent that belongs to her body.
The disgusting scent of that disgusting Omega wouldn’t be there and he didn’t want to accept that.
That’s why he never returned here. He was scared. Scared of facing some bitter truth that he didn’t want to acknowledge for the last six years.
However, today he feels better. “At least she is alive!”
With a soft murmur, his eyes shut. The subcommittee of his mind knows the truth.
Meanwhile,
Jasmine smirks when she glances at the phone. Leon sent her a message to confirm that she is going to accompany Alpha Spencer tomorrow evening. They’ll spend two days in Cruise ship and one day on the island. So that’s going to be fun.
“You seem happy, Luna!” Her personal Beta grins playfully, opening the car door for her.
“Of course, I am!. Finally I can get what I want. Spencer is going to be in my clutch. Tomorrow will be fun. I can’t wait to go there!”
