Amelie stared at the new phone in her hands, the one Butler Albus had given her earlier, saying it was from Gabriel. After losing her old phone while running away last night, she hadn't expected a replacement so soon. Without hesitation, she powered it on, noticing that the SIM card was already inserted.
The first thing she did was search for information about Gabriel Sinclair. As the screen filled with articles, her fingers hovered over the screen, hesitating for a moment before she started reading.
Her teeth grazed her nails as she absorbed the details, her brows furrowing slightly. "He's been without a mate for so many years!" she murmured, eyes scanning a headline that highlighted his elusive love life.
Though Gabriel had been seen with many women over the years, every article pointed out that they were nothing more than fleeting romances. No lasting connection. No commitment.
A sinking feeling settled in her chest. "Did he bring me here for a casual relationship too?" she wondered, her fingers tightening around the phone as uncertainty clouded her thoughts.
'But I don't even want any relationship. I need to find a way to leave soon,' she thought.
Amidst all of this, Amelie thought of calling her mother for one last time. Though she knew her mother never cared about her, she still held an uncertain hope.
Instead of dialing her mother's personal number, she called the home's telephone line. The phone rang a few times before a servant finally answered.
Amelie opened her mouth, intending to ask for her mother, but before she could gather the courage to speak, loud voices erupted in the background.
"Amelie is nowhere to be found! I can't believe we were raising such a fool in our house! Does she even realize the mess she has put us in?"
Her father's voice, David Conley, boomed with anger from the other side.
The servant politely asked Amelie if she wanted to speak to someone, but her voice caught in her throat. She remained silent, gripping the phone tightly.
Then came another voice, one that made her heart clench.
"Honey, I think Amelie never truly belonged here. We'll find a way to appease the Alpha Alex, whom she so foolishly accused and blamed for making her pregnant. I can't believe she got pregnant before the marriage! Amelie is truly a shame for our family."
It was the voice of her mother, Samyra.
They never cared for her. That much was clear.
But what lie had Alex spread in the Red River Pack?
Amelie couldn't believe her ears. Even her own mother trusted Alex's lies. She had never told anyone about her relationship with Alex. Because he asked her not to. He wanted to keep it a secret, promising that once they were married, everything would be out in the open.
And she had believed him.
He had given her a date in the next month. He had promised her a future.
