The Alpha’s Regret Claiming His Luna novel Chapter 102

Chapter 56: The Unraveling Past and a Slap of Finality–2

“Didn’t you say you loved this ring before? I bought it for you.”

The ring was instantly recognizable–it was the unique design Olivia once admired in a magazine and casually shared with him. Back then, Ethan had darkened, dismissively saying, “Anything but a ring. I have no plans to get married anytime soon,” as if she was some desperate woman pushing him towards marriage.

That memory made her feel insulted all over again. The audacity of him now offering what he once so coldly denied her burned like acid in her stomach.

Suppressing her disgust, she sneered coldly, “Sorry, I don’t like it anymore.”

She lifted her slender hand, revealing the dazzling moonstone engagement ring Connor had given her. The stone caught the sunlight, sending prisms of color dancing across her skin.

“I only like what my fiancé gifts me now.”

The sight of that ring–their ring–made Ethan’s eyes flash with pain and jealousy, but

he forced a smirk. He knew now that the man beside her was Connor Rivers, the

powerful heir of the Rivers family, and compared to them, the Grey family was still

rebuilding its influence.

Still, he refused to back down, his desperation making him reckless.

“Liv, I heard your engagement ceremony was called off. So technically, you and he

aren’t officially engaged yet, are you?”

When she looked at him as if he were deranged, he leaned closer, voice lowering to a

poisonous murmur. “So what even if you get engaged? People break engagements all

the time. Even if you marry him, I won’t let go.”

His eyes gleamed with a disturbing intensity. “A secret affair… that’s the most thrilling

kind of love, isn’t it?”

Olivia’s patience snapped like a brittle twig. Without hesitation, she raised her hand

and slapped him hard across the face, the sound echoing in the quiet parking lot.

“Get lost!” she hissed, her amber eyes blazing with fury.

The force of the slap left a red, swelling mark on his cheek, but Ethan just tilted his head and grinned wickedly. “That was hard. Did your hand hurt?”

“Lunatic!” she spat, stepping away, but he doggedly blocked her path.

“Where are you going? I’ll give you a ride.” His demeanor was becoming increasingly

desperate, his eyes wild with a possessive gleam.

“Go away!” she barked, kicking at him when he tried to get too close.

Dodging swiftly, he taunted, “What happened to the gentle, obedient little woman I

used to know?”

Ignoring him, she stalked towards the open–air parking lot, only for Ethan to stick to

her like a determined stalker, babbling on. “I told my mother you’re the Winters family

heiress. She was so happy.”

His voice took on a pleading tone. “She even told me to apologize to you. She

admitted she was wrong before.”

He tried to sound sincere, but she kept silent, her disgust mounting with every word.

board.

Ethan stiffened, blood draining from his face. “You… you knew all along?”

His expression turned to shock and shame, the realization that she had known about

his betrayal all this time hitting him like a physical blow.

She continued icily, “Not just that. I knew that night you lied about a business

emergency–you went to pick up Cassandra from the Harbor City Regional Airport.”

Each word was a dagger, precisely aimed. “I knew that on Sophie’s birthday, you took her to a hotel after leaving with her. While still with me, you were already seeing

another woman.”

Her eyes narrowed dangerously. “So tell me, Ethan Grey, what right do you have to talk about betrayal?”

His face twisted in pain and shame, the truth of his actions laid bare. “No, Liv, listen,

it’s not what you think, let me explain-”

But Olivia no longer had interest in his excuses. She got into her car, slammed the

door, and started the engine. The powerful purr of the Bentley matched her

determination to leave this man in her past.

Ethan ran in front of the Bentley, pounding on the hood, his lips moving desperately, still pleading, still refusing to let go. His eyes were wild, his composure completely

shattered.

Olivia’s patience finally reached its end. Annoyed beyond endurance, she stomped on

the accelerator and drove straight toward him.
