Breed Me Cursed Alpha (Lyra and Ronan) novel Chapter 25

HANNAH’S POV:

That same day:

The tension in the room was so thick, even a scissor wouldn’t cut it. Elijah sat across from me and didn’t take his eyes off of me even for one second. It was like he was reading me, making sure it wasn’t a ghost sitting across from him. I stared right back, because I thought when I saw him again I would be angry but I just stared at him and felt nothing.

Lucas began introducing everyone to each other ranging from the young men on the board to the older bald ones.

“And we have here, our CEO of Prestige, Hannah Jones, our creative director and the designer of all the beautiful dresses.” He introduced me with pride and I couldn’t help but smile at him and flip my hair in a not so dramatic style. All while I could feel his eyes on me but I refused to even glance at him.

Lord knows I couldn’t wait to be alone with Lucas and get to the bottom of this. I thought to myself.

((

Just as the meeting began and about five minutes in, with the lawyer of their investment company speaking on the terms of the contract, I heard him clear his throat and announce without caring about any other person, Can everyone leave the room?”

“Sorry?” One of the board members, Philips, asked frowning.

“LEAVE. THE. ROOM.” He deadpanned and everyone slowly rose up to their feets confused and I did the same.

Just as I was about to walk out, I felt his hand on my wrist and he slammed the glass door shut and dragged the

curtain down.

“What are you doing?” I inquired angrily as he locked the door with the key and placed it in his pocket.

He stared at me from head to toe with glassy eyes and with amazement. And he turned around smiling and running his hands through his face and his hair and looked back at me and embraced me.

“I’m so happy to see you. Lord…I have missed you so much, Hannah. I’m so sorry…I’m so sorry.” He repeated and hugged me tightly and I was left dumbfounded.

I quickly pushed him off and said, “I don’t think you’re the right company to invest in mine….”

I trailed off when he started speaking again with tears on the brim of his eyes, “You’re doing amazingly well and you are so beautiful…that’s what I’ve been wishing for,,.for years. That you’re doing well, that you would be alive and be somewhere doing what you loved. I thought you would be a huge baker somewhere because I know

”

As he was speaking, I cut him and snapped at him, “Stop! Just stop!”

I was about to walk off but he made me halt in my steps, “Please don’t leave. I’m sorry….I’m just so happy to see you. And I do think you should partner with us because not only is your company worth the investment but we provide great rates and it would be nice to be seeing you.”

“Still so self-centered aren’t you? I will talk to my people and decide, everything else would be done without me.” I spat harshly and stretched out my hand for the key which he slowly gave to me.

“I’m sorry…I…”

“Oh and expect to hear from my lawyers on the dissolution of our marriage.” I cut him off again and strolled out of the room with a shaky breath and shaky hands. I walked past all who were just in there and headed straight into the elevator ignoring Lucas and Maya calling my name.

When I got into the elevator and the door was slowly closing, I noticed the apologetic look on his face which led me to confirm my suspicion all along.

He knew and didn’t care to give me a head’s up? Wow..

LATER THAT DAY:

After the meeting, I was way too angry and didn’t want to be alone. So I rushed home with a bucket of ice-cream and the kids and I made popcorn and got cozy under the covers and picked up a movie. Andrew could tell I was down, as he was my sensitive baby, so he made sure it was a comedy. We laughed together, enjoyed the chocolate chip ice-cream as well as the popcorn until they dozed off and I was left just staring at them with admiration.

What would happen if Elijah found out about them? Would he care? He was so different now, would it be a good thing to bring him into the kids’ lives? Did he deserve to know? I thought about it but I soon dismissed the thought, reminding myself I was only in the room with him for less than thirty minutes so he was probably the same and what if he hurts the kids one day.
