The Billionaire Alpha’s Contract Lover by Caesar Erickson novel Chapter 1391

Chapter 1391
The investigation of Jayden’s situation was urgent, but Andre
and Anna’s mating ceremony had to go on as scheduled.
The Alpha’s assistant was getting mated, and the ceremony
was quite extravagant, with luxury cars filling the hotel
entrance.
Not only prominent figures from Arcadia were present, but also people from the capital who had business dealings with the Knight’ rushed over.
Andre had booked the entire hotel for the event.
Andre was the son of Eric’s stepmother, and people from the
Sinclair pack had also come, including Eric herself.
When he entered the hotel, he didn’t say much. He only
cornered Stella at the end of the corridor when he saw her.
The man was dressed in black, his face expressionless, his thin lips tightly pressed, exuding a hint of cold ruthlessness. “I received the court summons. You have quite the nerve to dare
to sue me.”
His fair, almost translucent fingers touched Stella’s cheek, but
she coldly turned her face away. “You’re sexually harassing
me even when we’re going to court. Aren’t you afraid of
adding another charge?”
Eric laughed, a graceful and confident smile that was dazzling
and somewhat piercing. “With our relationship, you won’t
win this lawsuit. Withdraw your complaint while I’m in a good
mood, or else…”
After forcefully pushing Stella against the wall, Eric placed his hand above her head, lowered his head, and deeply kissed her lips. What was supposed to be a fleeting moment became something more when he tasted her. Reluctantly, he reached out and hugged her tightly in his arms.
“Stella, I miss you so much.”
Stella pushed him away. “Get lost!”
But Eric grabbed her hand and placed it on his wrist. “Touch it and see how many injuries I’ve suffered for you.”
Stella felt the countless scars, some healed and some not, crisscrossing each other on his veins and arteries. As a doctor, she naturally knew that these wounds were self-inflicted cuts on his wrists. But what did they have to do with her?
With a darkened face and all her strength, she forcefully
shook off his grip.
This time, Eric didn’t try to grab her hand again. He only raised his own wrist and chuckled softly. “If I knew you would be so heartless, I wouldn’t have cut my wrists just to see you.”
His smile, usually handsome and radiant, now carried a tinge of bitterness. It seemed that he had suffered a great deal during this period of time.
In fact, he had been locked up by the Sinclair pack. He had no choice but to go on hunger strikes and cut his wrists numerous times before being released.
Just as he was released, he received the court summons. The Stella who used to claim to love him so much was now teaming up with another man to sue him, even wanting to send him to prison.
He never even thought about why Stella, who had claimed to love him, had become so cruel and heartless. Did he deserve to be deceived and harmed by her like this?
