Let Me Go, My Mafia Husband (Aria and Alessandro) novel Chapter 527

Chapter 527 No Reason
*Selena*

"Where have you been, baby?" he whispered, his eyes reflecting the pain. "I missed you so much." He leaned in, pressing a gentle kiss on the tip of my nose. My heart skipped a beat.

His words seemed to wrap around me like a spell, making me feel weak in the knees. Part of me wanted to surrender to him, to believe every word he spoke. But I knew I couldn't. Not after everything that had happened. The memories of our past, our love, and the hurt came rushing back, conflicting emotions tearing at my heart. As if I snapped out of the trance, I panicked.

"I have to go," I mumbled, trying to break free from his grasp.

I pushed him with all my strength, but he held on firmly, refusing to let go. Our eyes locked, and I saw a flicker of frustration in his gaze.

"Let me go," I demanded more firmly, trying to regain my composure.

Zander sighed heavily, the struggle evident in his expression, before he rolled aside and got off me, finally releasing me from his tight grasp.

"So you're running away again," he taunted, his voice laced with bitterness as I began gathering my clothes scattered across the room.

My hands trembled slightly as I tried to focus on the clothes in my hand, blocking out the memories that threatened to overwhelm me.

"I don't have any reason to stay," I replied sternly, my voice tinged with a mix of sadness and anger.

The hurt was still there, buried deep beneath the surface, but I couldn't let it consume me.

"Right, no reason!" he muttered under his breath, his frustration seeping through his words like venom.

I looked over my shoulder, throwing a slanting glance at him. He ran a hand through his disheveled hair, his chest heaving loudly. I wore my panties and clasped my bra. "What just happened between us means nothing to you?!" he asked, his voice rising with annoyance, and for a moment, I almost faltered.

"What happened between us, Alpha?!" I asked innocently, wearing my dress. "What do you want, Selena?" his voice again turned cold and void of any emotions. "What is your purpose for coming back?"

I turned and looked into his eyes, finding him becoming that emotionless Alpha again. How good he was at pretending.

I shook my head and laughed breathily. "Oh, so this was the reason the mighty Alpha King served me in bed, but you won't get anything, Alpha, because the truth is I am here to pay off my education loan," I replied with a smug smile on my lips.

"You are lying," he gritted out.

"Huh! Why would I lie?!" I shrugged, casting a challenging stare at him as I smoothed my hair, trying to make my appearance good.

I looked around and spotted my heels that I didn't remember removing. Both of them lay in different directions. I slid my feet into the footwear, and I was ready to leave.

"You don't have any education loan, Selena, because I paid the whole amount myself," he revealed, taking me off guard.
