Rejected, And Became A Heiress (Cara) novel Chapter 29

Alaric 

I don’t know what’s gotten inte me lately, I can barely recognize myself anymore

1 knew Cara was a gold digger, and yet I still got involved with her. I know Cara’s body is off limits due to doctor’s orders, and yet I still go to the apartment to find her. It’s like I can’t keep myself away

But why

And you still think this is just about the sex?Grey asked me with a rueful chuckle the first time I went to the apartment after we got the updated medical certificate

Stay out of my head, alright?I replied testily

Where is it you would like me to go then?My wolf growls back. Or have you forgotten that my existence is tied to yours? Do you think I enjoy simply watching while you destroy our lives?” 

Just shut the FUCK upI yelled at him harshly

Perhaps too harshly, looking back 

Grey and I haven’t been the same since. He barely talks to me now, and when he does, he’s dripping with disdain

try to brush off my emotions and keep a level head as best as I can

The wedding moves closer each day, and each day I’m more impressed by Cara’s work

Not only is she doing a fantastic job with all the wedding planning tasks, but she’s also handling her Beta responsibilities. plus some assignments that I would have given to my exGamma George

I look at my calendar and notice that Cara’s birthday approaches 

She’s done all that I’ve asked of her and more, so it feels only right to reward her. I want to do something special for her to show some appreciation

In a purely professional sense, of course

Grey merely huffs loudly, not quite bothering to start yet another argument with me about Cara, but not quite willing to let my warm thoughts of Cara go without some sort of snide gesture 

On Cara’s birthday, I arrange to stop work to go to the apartment to see Cara. My phone rings as I’m finishing up at the 

office

Alaaaaric!!” 

Lilia squeals gleefully. Where ARE you?? I miiiisssss youuuu.. 

She sounds off. She soundsdrunk.. 

Where are you?I ask quickly

Oh, there’s a party! There’s a a party and everyone’s heeeeerree. But you’re NOT here!” 

Shit,I whisper to myself under my breath. 1 look at my calendar again and see one of the nobles had planned an event for tonight. I declined the invitation due to Cara’s birthday, but it looks like I’ll have to make an appearance anyway to collect Lilia

Chapter 18

Hopefully this won’t take too long

I arrive at the lavish event to see all the park nobles gathered are and Lilia. She’s the center of attention. There’s a big, broad smile on her face and a hazy look in her eye

Yep, definitely drunk

She yelps as soon as she sees me. You came!” 

Trying to make this quick. I slip an arm around Lilia’s waist. But Lilia mistakes my gesture for an invitation to dance

She starts moving her body against mine, gyrating her chest and hips
