Fated to the Alpha Who Killed Me (by Sherry) novel Chapter 240

Chapter 240

By the time we returned, both Celeste and her parents had already departed–approximately thirty minutes prior.

“They should be at the airport, Evan confirmed when I found him. “What’s wrong? I thought you didn’t visit rivals.”

“Your phone,” I said without preamble, holding out my hand need to borrow it.

Evan handed over his unlocked device without question. I dialed my own number, and it rang twice before disconnecting. Rage and vindication flooded through me—someone had deliberately hung up, confirming my suspicions.

I found Daemon’s contact next and pressed dial, forcing my voice to remain level. “Where’s Celeste?”

“If you have something to say, say it to me,” Daemon replied immediately, his tone defensive.

From the background, I heard Celeste’s soft voice: “Daemon, is that Violet looking for me?”

“Yes, Daemon confirmed. “Whatever it is can wait until later.”

“It’s fine,” Celeste insisted, her words carrying that particular quality of martyred patience she’d perfected. “We’re almost at the airport anyway. I’d rather clear things up with Violet now. Otherwise, I won’t be able to focus on the surgery with a clear conscience.”

She had my phone and presumably felt secure enough with that leverage to face me directly. Celeste had always been calculating beneath the innocent facade, but she’d miscalculated one crucial detail–I’d sent backup copies of those recordings to both Blaine and Zane. The physical phone was just hardware. The evidence itself was already replicated and safely stored beyond her reach.

My urgency stemmed not from panic but from sheer rage at the audacity–at the Morrison family’s collective willingness to engage in petty theft and deception, at their apparent inability to acknowledge that their daughter was the architect of her own downfall.

I ended the call and contacted Lucian, who confirmed the airport location. handed Evan’s phone back and turned to leave.

Im coming with you, Evan said, already moving to follow.

During the drive, I uploaded the carefully prepared exposé and backup audio files across multiple platforms. The information went live, spreading wi anexorable momentum. I had no idea whether Daemon would see it immediately, but eveneally, everyone would see it

The private aviation terminal was exactly the sort of exclusive facility I’d expected. Evan and I headed directly for the VIP lounge area. The awarE ALL stepped through the door.

have what you’ve done: So you had your parents steal my phone when they had the opportunity.” I let the threat hang between us. “Give it back now, and maybe you won’t regret this more than you already should.”

Daemon moved before Celeste could tespond, his hand closing around my upper arm and pulling me back several steps. Violet, have you forgotten what you

promised me?

“Of course I haven’t forgotten,‘ I shot back, yanking my arm free and rounding on him with all the fury I d been bottling up. My voice rose despite my efforts to maintain composure. But I can’t do it anymore, Demon! I can’t keep quiet while she destroys everything! You’re blind–willfully, stubbornly blind –and she’s playing you like a goddamn puppet!”

The color drained from Daemon’s face, his expression shifting from anger to something like shock. No one talked to him like this–certainly not in public.

“Have you lost your mind?!” Linda burst out, storming toward me with her fists clenched. You and Daemon dissolved your bond! You have no claim on him! Coming here to make a scene–don’t you have any shame?!”
