Let Me Go, My Mafia Husband (Aria and Alessandro) novel Chapter 523

Chapter 523 Who Is Jealous, Alpha King?
*Selena*

Oh no! How could I be so careless? But... but he was the one who instigated my reaction. My eyes darted back and forth between Zander's once pristine white shirt and his tailored, expensive grey suit, worth a fortune, now colored in juice, and the shattered glass jug on the floor. Panic surged through me as I worried about what others might think, assuming I did it intentionally.

"Oh, my Goddess! I'm sorry, I am so sorry, Alpha," I mumbled, clasping a hand over my mouth, my heart racing with embarrassment. I reached out, instinctively grabbing Zander's hand, and pulled him towards the sink, eager to salvage the situation.

"I swear I didn't spoil your clothes intentionally," I uttered in a rush, trying to explain myself. With a sense of urgency, I grabbed a glass, filling it with water, and splashed it onto his shirt, frantically trying to wash away the colorful, tangy stain from his expensive white fabric.

He flinched, muttering a curse under his breath, and I felt even worse for the mess I had caused.

"Oh no, you're drenched, and you have to go to the office," I murmured worriedly as I watched water droplets trickle down his now-drenched clothes.

"It's okay, Selena," he assured in his deep voice, attempting to reassure me.

"I am sorry," I mumbled again, shaking my head in genuine regret, hoping he would understand that my actions were accidental.

In an unexpected move, he grabbed my hand and pulled me closer, his gaze intense, and my heart skipped a beat.

"One more time, you say sorry, and I will kiss you," he threatened playfully, causing my eyes to widen in surprise.

I blinked, my heart racing as I quickly glanced around the kitchen. What if someone heard us? Luckily, all the omegas were busy serving on the dining table, leaving us alone in the kitchen.

"Your shirt," I gasped, my eyes shifting back to his drenched clothes, feeling guilty for ruining his outfit.

"You can spoil as many shirts as you want; I don't mind," he whispered, a hint of a smile forming on his lips, and my heart fluttered at the sight of his unexpected grin.

Goddess, he actually smiled! It was a stark contrast to my memory of my cruel ex-mate who never smiled.

"Selena!" I heard a thundering voice, and instinctively, I pulled my hand from Zander's grasp, though he didn't let go. My head turned abruptly to find Eden glaring at me with intense disapproval.

"You useless, clumsy butler!" she spat out, her words sharp and filled with disdain.

"How dare you spoil Alpha's clothes," she gritted her teeth in anger, clearly infuriated by the situation.

"Eden!" Before I could even attempt to give an explanation, Zander's voice roared, surprising me with the anger in his tone. "It's not her fault. It was my mistake," he confirmed firmly, coming to my defense. His grip on my hand tightened instead of releasing me.

"I-I'm sorry, Alpha. I didn't know about it," Eden mumbled in fear, feeling the overwhelming aura emitting from the Alpha King. The atmosphere around Zander turned so intimidating and scary that no one could stand before him unaffected.

"You can leave now, and remember to clarify before blaming anyone next time," Zander scolded, his voice commanding and authoritative, demanding obedience. Eden immediately ran off, looking horrified. Alpha King’s aura was overpowering, making everyone submit before him.

"I am going to change my clothes," Zander whispered, surprising me once more as both his voice and gaze softened.

I nodded silently, still taken aback by the sudden shift in his demeanor. I couldn't tell if this was his true self or if he was once again pretending to be sweet.

As he left, I cleared the glass pieces from the floor, ensuring the area was safe, and then filled another jug with juice before carrying it to the breakfast table. The omegas were bustling around, efficiently serving everyone and placing plates of food before them.

Lola playfully came to my side and whispered in a teasing tone, "Why are you blushing so much this morning?"

"I'm not blushing, Lola," I retorted, my cheeks flushing slightly despite my denial. She grinned mischievously, clearly enjoying my discomfort.

"Oh, I know why you're blushing today," she teased, winking at me, which made me gasp. What did she mean?

I quickly tried to regain my composure, "Lola, you're imagining things. I'm not blushing!"

Her smile widened as she spilled the beans, "Prince Damon is here for breakfast today, and he asked about you twice!"

Relief washed over me as I heard her mention Prince Damon. So, she didn't know about the incident with Alpha Zander. My brain worked swiftly, trying to process the unexpected news.
