Alpha's Discarded Luna (Talia) novel Chapter 157

Chapter 152

Talia’s POV

I am in the middle of preparing Imema’s second round of medication, my hands full of cockroaches, when my phone rings.

I glance at the screen and answer, pressing the phone between my ear and shoulder.

His voice comes through sharp, furious. “Talia, I thought we had an agreement! You are actually filing for divorce?!”

I pause for a moment. “You never believed I would actually go through with a divorce, so I hired a lawyer and filed. And like I said last time, you would be getting a call from the court after the holidays.”

His tone turns icy, almost cutting. “I already agreed to the divorce. Now, you need to go to the court and withdraw the petition.”

“That is not happening.” I do not hesitate.

Volkov with her first round of treatment.”

Aires’s voice sharpens. “But you are not the least bit worried that I might change my mind?”

I do not respond directly. I set the cockroaches down and wipe my hands. “When dealing with someone like you, if I do not have a backup plan, I would never know how this is going to end.”

Aires’ POV

I finally understand why Talia seems so confident. She has been planning this all along.

I grip the phone tighter, my voice low. “Even with Raymond Capaldi helping you, do you think what happened last time will repeat itself?”

Last time, I was stupid. I never imagined that Talia, who had always been so docile, would resort to something so extreme. She burned all her bridges.

Could it be that back then too, she already wanted a divorce and simply didn’t care about the consequences anymore?

Talia’s voice cuts through my spiraling thoughts. “I know this trick only works once. If I used it a second time, it

wouldn’t be as effective.”

My tone grows even colder. “Do you have to make everything sound so final?”

But even as I ask, I can no longer lie to myself. If Talia did not want a divorce, why has she not come back? Why

She hasn’t even cared for Aeson, her eyes no longer hold any warmth or tenderness for me.

Every action she takes leaves no room for compromise.

It is at this point that I finally understand.

Talia really does want a divorce.

A sharp, unwelcome anger flares in my chest. Talia wants a divorce? Have I really been that bad to her?

Her voice comes through the phone. “Is it really me, or is it that you don’t understand what I am saying? I do not want to repeat myself about the divorce. Since we have already made an agreement, I will keep my word, but you will need to keep yours too. As for the divorce 376 proceedings… a month from now, when we are officially

The line goes dead.

I stare at my phone, unable to believe what just happened. My chest feels tight, the anger rising with nowhere to go. The air in the room becomes suffocating,

Nick and Richard are both watching me, the call was loud enough for them to hear everything.

Nick’s face is a mess of confusion. He has never truly believed that Talia and I would divorce. Now he looks at Richard, wide-eyed, like a man who has just discovered the ground beneath him is not as solid as he thought.

“Richard, do you think…” Nick’s voice is

uncharacteristically hesitant. “Talia really wants to divorce Alpha?”

I do not answer.

Nick has always wanted Talia and me to break up, and has been quite vocal about it too. But now that it is happening, something bitter twists in his voice.

Maybe, he wanted to see Talia crying her eyes out over the divorce. But she is not miserable. She is walking away just fine, and he can’t seem to stand it.

“Alpha, don’t you see it? Talia has changed. She used to be too afraid to speak loudly to you, but now…” He scoffs. “Now she is actually talking about divorce.”

He leans forward, his scarred face twisting.

“I am telling you, she has found someone else, that’s why she is so eager to get rid of you. She has been getting close to that Raymond guy… the one who is Robin’s dad? They have been spending a lot of time together, and she has even been helping him with his kid.”

He lets the words settle for a moment before adding. “Maybe they have been secretly involved for a while. And her friend! Do you remember, Imema saw them having dinner together. Who knows what is going on there? This flirtatious woman is asking you for one billion, so she can

off and support another man. She does not deserve a dime from you.”

I say nothing. My jaw is tight.

“Alpha, getting married is easy these days, but divorce? That is a whole different game. Don’t let Talia get off easy. If you do not want to divorce her, we can drag this out for years. Even if she files, we can stall for two or three years

She will not get a divorce that quickly.”
