Reject My Alpha President (Iris and Arthur) novel Chapter 128

Chapter 128

Tris & Arthur

Iris

Suddenly, as I’m reading the legal letter, a sharp knock at the door breaks through the silence. I fold the letter quickly and tuck it into my dress pocket, then open the door without checking first–a mistake.

Selina is standing there.

“We need to talk,” she says, pushing past me into the apartment without waiting for an invitation.

I turn to face her, my hand gripping the doorknob. “Leave. There’s nothing to talk about.”

“You’ve ruined everything,” she hisses, ignoring my request for her to leave. “Do you have any idea what you’ve done? Arthur just publicly humiliated me’in front of everyone who matters in Ordan.”

My breath catches. “What are you talking about?”

“He announced that our engagement is over.” She spits the words at me like venom. “In front of the entire gallery. Years of planning, of positioning myself, of loving him, all destroyed because he couldn’t keep it in his pants around you.”

I stand frozen, processing her words. Arthur ended the engagement after all? Publicly?

“You should have taken the money and never come back,” Selina hisses, stepping closer. “All those years ago. You could have lived comfortably in Bo’Arrocan, you could have”

“I didn’t want it,” I cut her off, folding my arms across my chest. My eyes flick to my phone sitting on the kitchen counter, and I begin to move toward it, wondering if I should call the police before this gets out of hand. Which it will.

Selina’s eyes flash. “Bullshit. All you ever cared about was money.”

“No, I didn’t. I never cared about any of that.”

“Please.” Selina rolls her eyes. “We both know you’re just a gold–digger who latched onto a rich Alpha the second you have a chance. You happily let Arthur take care of you for years so you wouldn’t have to work.”
