Jealousy Alpha's Regret novel Chapter 99

Chapter 99

The room quieted slightly. Everyone was interested in the answer to

that question.

Sebastien took another sip before answering. “Obviously it’s done.

Didn’t you see the news?”

My heart practically sang. Confirmation from his own lips! And he

didn’t even sound upset about it–there was even a hint of a smile

playing at the corner of his mouth.

“It’s really over,” I thought, feeling a rush of triumph so strong I had

to bite my lip to keep from grinning. “He doesn’t even care about her.

That Stone bitch’s fancy marriage is finished, and Sebastien is free.”

I remembered how Iris had looked at me that day at New Moon

Design–so smug in her position as Sebastien’s mate, even though

everyone knew it was just a political arrangement. Well, where was

her smugness now?

Blake clapped Sebastien on the shoulder and returned to his other

guests. I waited, watching as Sebastien continued drinking for

another twenty minutes. I was trying to time my approach perfectly

when suddenly he stood up.

divorce proceedings were just one small part of my larger plan.

I pulled out my phone and dialed Daniel’s number. He answered on

the first ring, as always.

“Continue monitoring Iris Stone,” I said without preamble. “I want to

know every move she makes.”

“Yes, sir,” Daniel replied efficiently.

The accidental sexy photo Iris had sent me, the way her scent had

changed subtly over the past few weeks, her sudden eagerness to

finalize our divorce – it all pointed to something she was hiding.

Something important.

And I intended to find out exactly what it was.

I walked to my car, feeling the night air cool against my face. Soon,

very soon, all the pieces would fall into place. And Iris would discover

that walking away from me wouldn’t be nearly as simple as she

thought.

Perfect.

I caught sight of him near the front entrance, his hand running

through his hair in that way he did when he was tired. This was my

moment. I took a deep breath, adjusted my dress one last time, and

put on my most concerned expression.

“Sebastien!” I called out, hurrying toward him. “You’ve had quite a lot

to drink. Let me take you home!”

I reached for his arm, ready to steady him, to be his support when he

needed it most.

But Sebastien stepped smoothly to the side, avoiding my touch

completely. His eyes–those piercing gray eyes–were clear and

focused. There wasn’t even a hint of intoxication in them.

“What the hell? I thought he was drunk. He had at least eight drinks.”

“You want to take me home?” he asked, his voice low and amused.

My face heated instantly. The way he said it–with that hint of

suggestion–made my pulse quicken. “I… I just meant you shouldn’t

drive,” I stammered, suddenly feeling like I was the one who’d had too

many drinks.
