Chapter 22: Selena

[Dear little wife, I am sorry about my behavior last night, but it was your fault and mine too. Anyway, what I am trying to say is... as compensation for what happened, I prepared a nice breakfast for you]

'As if he's the one that made it,' Leia scoffed as she thought. However, her eyes broadened a little when she saw the next paragraph.

[I know that right now, you must be thinking that I wasn't the one who prepared it. But little wife, let me tell you that breakfast was made with my blood and sweat, so you must eat it. Please let me know what you think of it when I return home.

Adrik, your dashing husband]

"Humph!" Leia sneered and dropped the note into the pocket of her jeans shorts. She glanced at the plates and clicked her tongue as though contemplating whether to eat the food or not. She shrugged and walked over to sit on the sofa.

She opened the plate and her eyes fell on a mouth-watering, well-garnished breakfast. "Whoa.." She picked up the spoon and her eyes glanced at the ceramic bowl that had chicken soup and at another that had baked salmon on it, and she took a deep breath. Which should she dig into first? She dipped her spoon into the bowl that had the chicken spoon and scooped up a spoon full of soup.

Her eyes blinked when it touched her taste buds and streamed down her throat. "Too salty." She shook her head and proceeded to taste the baked salmon with potatoes and onion. Her eyebrows raised in surprise, and she nodded her head in approval. "This one tastes nice," she said, picking up a sandwich and beginning to gobble it down. 'He was not bad at it, but he still needs to go to a cooking school to perfect his cooking.' She shut her eyes as she chewed on the sandwich. When she was full, she leaned back on the sofa and patted what now looks like a small baby bump. She was gluttonous.

Scanning through papers passed to him by Alex, who stood with an awkward face, Adrik took an annoyed breath and slapped the papers on the table.

"What the hell is this?" His face turned into a scowl and his menacing green eyes glared at Alex, who was now sweating profusely with his eyes blinking nervously.

"It wasn't our fault, Supreme Alpha...An investigation has been held and it turned out it was a mistake made by one of the workers that resulted in the building burning down." Alex immediately explained, with concern written all over his face.

Adrik leaned back on his chair and pinched between his brows. "How many models are injured and how many are dead?" He glanced at him with a questioning expression on his face.

"50 are injured and... 20 are dead," Alex raised his eyes and peered at his Alpha, whose face was beginning to turn shades of dark. He swallowed and subconsciously took a few steps back, creating a little distance from Adrik. He has witnessed Adrik's anger, and he won't be surprised if he snaps his head off his neck.

Adrik abruptly stood up from his chair with a puckered face and appeared in front of Alex within seconds. His emerald green eyes began to turn a shade of golden, showing signs of turning fully golden. "20?" He breathed heavily, and his hands twisted in anger. He abruptly lifted his hands and proceeded to grab Alex. However, someone shoved Alex away and stood in front of him, causing him to grab the person instead of Alex.

His brow creased and he stared down at the person, only to see a beautiful young woman with red hair and long lashes staring at him with a flirtatious smirk on her lips. "Sweetheart, did you miss me this much? You couldn't even wait to pull me into your arms the minute I stepped into your office." She seductively blinked her lashes at him.

Adrik's face grew dark, and he harshly pushed her away. "What are you doing here?" He asked with a cold and irritated tone as he made his way back to his seat.

The young woman's face turned a bit into a scowl, and she rolled her gray eyes while her lips arched up. "I came here to see you... I missed you." She pouted and walked towards Adrik. She sat on his table and reached out her hand to touch his hair. "Your hair is growing longer." She smiled and bit her lip.

Adrik frowned, his face in annoyance, and slapped her hand away. "Answer my question!" He folded his arms and glared at her with cold eyes.

"Urgh... He didn't send me here. I came to see you of my own free will because I needed to talk to you," The young woman rolled her eyes in irritation and fixed her gaze on him. "Or am I not allowed to see my future husband anymore?" She creased her brow and asked in a displeased tone.

Adrik narrowed his eyes and fiercely shoved her off the table. "Listen very carefully, Selena. You and I will never, ever be together." He emphasized every word with a chilly tone. "So go back to that old ass and tell him I said, Fuck him." He sneered and adjusted his suit.

Selena, who was pushed to the floor, breathed heavily in anger, and her hand balled into a tight fist. "Because of that stupid bitch, huh?" Her teeth clenched and crashed together in a rage.

The moment the sentence left Selena's mouth, everything fell silent and Adrik stilled instantly on the chair where he sat. His folded arms slowly unfolded and a dangerous glint flashed in his eyes.

Alex, who stood by the door, widened his eyes with his jaw fallen. "Shit just got real." He secretly darted his eyes and placed his hands behind his back. Then he began to back away, creating a distance between the two. He would be so stupid not to know what to expect next.
