Chapter 63
Alpha Ansaldo wanted to beg her. He wanted to apologize, but Goldie was there and might lose respect for him.
Moreover, Sheila had not mentioned his crime, which was a great form of relief. It was better for him to leave now with his dignity intact than to try smoothing things and end up in an even bigger mess.
“I’m
sorry,” he murmured and just like that, strode towards his car and drove away. He could not forget the blend of emotions in Sheila’s eyes when she spoke to him. They were ones of pain, anguish, and disdain.
He had to find time to meet her again to apologize, but for now, it was good to let her be. Sadly, his plan to make Sheridan his by whatever means failed.
In Goldie and Sheridan’s car, there was an awkward silence as Goldie drove out of the car park. It was long since she saw Sheridan so furious, not even after her divorce.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t watch over you,” Goldie said with regret, adding, the mate bond seems to be such a curse.
Sheridan thought she was referring to Alpha Nick leaving her for Charlotte, causing Alpha Ansaldo to take advantage of the situation.
Though not knowing the details, she guessed Alpha Ansaldo had done something very bad.
“It’s not your fault. Neither is it the fault of the mate bond. I am the one to blame for disrespecting it.”
Sheridan could only blame herself for everything. It had never been well with anyone going against the mate bond, so she had to swallow her pain like the strong woman she was and would not blame anybody for it.
“Where have you been? I saw how you walked. What happened?” Goldie asked. She hadn’t mated before, but that didn’t mean she was naïve. The Sheridan she knew would never step out with her hair so disheveled. Also, one of her dazzling diamond earrings was missing, and it didn’t seem like she noticed it.
Sheridan smiled bitterly. What happened between her and Alpha Nick was the strangest there was, and she was glad to have cleaned up her messes. He would never find her out, and that was enough for her.
“Alpha Ansaldo drugged me, and I ended up in bed with Alpha Nick,” she said honestly, gazing out of the window to be distracted by its beautiful scenery. How she envied her lovely environs, wishing her life could also be this beautiful.

“What?” Goldie was dumbfounded, not believing what she just heard. It was as if her ears were playing tricks on her. Sheridan sighed and said,
“I don’t want anyone to know about it, not even him.”
Goldie frowned deeply, worry nudging her at Sheridan’s words. How could she keep something like that from Alpha Nick when it was both of them in the act? She needed a greater understanding at this juncture.
“What do you mean by not even him? Doesn’t he know already?”
“He would forget everything when he wakes up. I researched the drug. I can’t even remember anything, but! hacked into the hotel CCTVs and knew.”
Goldie let out a mean smile. It was as if someone did her job for her, revenging on her behalf. “Well then, good. Karma did my dirty job for me.”
Sheridan was forced to tear her eyes off the beautiful scenery from before, focusing her attention on her cousin and closest friend. “What are you talking about?”
Goldie’s fingers tightened around the steering wheel, and her teeth gritted at the thought. “Charlotte was fucking my mate, and you fucked hers. Perfect revenge from Karma,” she shrugged, instantly relaxing.
She was free from the bond because she rejected her mate, but it hurt her so badly that a woman like Charlotte was chosen over Sheila in the name of a mate bond. Goldie’s only worry at this moment was Sheila and not even herself.
It was as if she just dropped a bomb. Things were getting more and more interesting for Sheridan.
“Wait, you mean Tom is your mate?”
The way she mentioned the name plus her demeanor was a firm assurance that Sheila knew something deeper. “You know him?” Goldie asked incredulously.
“The bond can only be broken through rejection,” Goldie corrected. Sheridan had to agree that it was true. If not, Alpha Nick wouldn’t have been wrapped around Charlotte’s fingers up until now.
