The Billionaire Alpha’s Contract Lover by Caesar Erickson novel Chapter 1481

Chapter 1481 

Taya’s misfortune also changed Harper’s life. She went from being a quiet and reserved person to becoming the owner of a nightclub. She picked up smoking and drinking during that time. After going through an unmated and losing loved ones, Taya didn’t know how she managed to get through it all… 

Perhaps during those three years, she indeed had feelings for Preston. But Preston was known for being a playboy, so Harper never dared to give her heart to him. Plus, he never expressed any interest in her and always acted like he didn’t care about her. So, Harper couldn’t rely on or trust him. 

She thought that she would end up with Jayden. For Harper, she didn’t need to mate someone she loved or be madly in love with someone before mating them. She felt she wasn’t deserving of love. All she wanted was to mate a reliable and faithful man who could provide her with a stable home. 

Many couples lived their lives respectfully and peacefully, like a calm river flowing. That was all she wanted – a sense of peace. But she didn’t realize Jayden didn’t feel the same way. His so-called secret admiration for her was just his unwillingness to accept that he couldn’t have her when they were young. 

Harper was only in her thirties, but she had already experienced countless hardships. If talking about suffering, Taya had also suffered a lot, but she was slightly luckier than Harper. At least she found her sister and saw videos of her mother, so she knew 

what they look like. Harper didn’t even know who her parents 

were. 

Thinking about Harper’s experiences over the years, Taya hugged her tightly in sympathy. 

“It’s my fault. I didn’t protect you well.” 

It was her fault for not stopping them when she realized Jayden wasn’t a good person, which led to Harper’s ordeal. 

With her bandaged hand, Harper, who had already cried, gently stroked Taya’s waist-length curly hair, soothing her softly. 

“I’m fine, don’t worry, and don’t blame yourself.” 

This had nothing to do with Taya. It was her own fault for not being able to judge people clearly when it came to relationships, and she only realized it was a mistake after taking the risk. 

Honestly, a person like her shouldn’t have gotten involved in mating. She should have lived a solitary life and grown old peacefully, living a quiet life.
