Alpha No longer Pretends Chapter 06
He hurried home by car.
I went to the room to find Emily at the first time, but she was nowhere to be seen at home.
It was not until he searched the whole villa that he was finally sure that the person had left.
Only a mate–bond dissolution letter remained on the table.
Mason stared blankly. The pain in his hand flared up again.
Along with a strange ache in his chest.
He refused to believe the gold–digging girl would leave him so easily.
But then it hit him.
Emily had only wanted money for her mother’s treatment. Now that her mother was gone, money didn’t matter anymore. Neither
did the bond.
Mason’s palms sweated. He panicked and stood up, calling Emily.
But no one answered.
His mind flashed to Harper. Hope flooded him.
As long as he had the daughter, Emily would come home.
But the next second, he froze. He had no idea where Harper was.
A dark look crossed Mason’s eyes. He suddenly laughed.
Then he called the police.
When Ivy Johnson heard Mason had called the police, she was
overjoyed. She thought he’d finally come to his senses.
But when I arrived at the police station, Mason changed his tune and refused to press charges.
Ivy was furious. She lunged at me, grabbed my collar, and raised her hand to hit me.
The next second, Mason caught her wrist and threw her aside.
He put his arm around me and walked out.
“Alpha! That beast killed our baby! How can you be so unfair?!”
“Even if I knocked her mother’s ashes over on purpose, how can a dead person compare to a living one?!*
“And none of this is even my fault! You gave me the power to act
like this! How can you blame me for everything-
“Shut up!”
Mason’s forehead tensed. He turned and cut her off.
He looked her over and suddenly sneered.
“Didn’t I pay you enough? That’s all you’re worth. Don’t get greedy.”
“I never planned to marry you, not for a second. Even if that baby
had been born, I would’ve kept the child and sent you away.
Understand now?”
He’d once felt a little pity for her. But she’d gotten pregnant on
purpose to force him, given his daughter sleeping pills–and he’d endured it.
Yet she still kept bullying Emily Brown.
Now he was losing his bond. He’d done enough for her.
With that, he ignored the pale Ivy, grabbed my wrist, and pulled me into the car.
I stared out the window, silent.
Over the past two days, I’d buried Mother in a cemetery.
I’d thought keeping her close would comfort me. But it had been selfish. She’d suffered for so many years. She deserved
peace.
“Emily, come back. I won’t bring other women home again.”
Mason’s voice was tight, almost pleading–but it still sounded disgusting.
He didn’t say he’d stop cheating. He didn’t apologize sincerely.
He just said he wouldn’t bring mistresses home anymore.
I laughed–a cold, mocking laugh.
Mason’s grip on the steering wheel tightened. Pain crossed his face.
“Tell me what you want! It happened. Can’t we face it?”
“Dissolve the mate bond.”
I spoke softly, with nothing more to say.
Mason shook his head. He looked at me pityingly.
“Where will you go without me? You have no job, no parents. You
want to take Harper, but what can you give her?”
His words were cruel and honest. He was trying to break me.
But I’d already made up my mind. I’d planned to let Harper stay with him at first.
But after what Ivy did, I didn’t dare. I couldn’t even be sure Harper would survive to grow up.
“I already found a job. If you really care about our daughter, give more child support.”
“Do you really have to be this difficult?”
Mason slammed his fist on the wheel and slammed on the brakes by the side of the road.
