Chapter 61 A TASTE OF SECRET
Celestia's POV
From where I sat I was hardly even breathing anymore my thoughts were scattered and I kept glancing at him while trying to remain as normal as possible from where I sat him and the woman across from him seemed really comfortable with each other there were a couple of times that she spoke and he would chuckle and smile whenever that happened I would feel the familiar tightness in my chest revive itself again I was conflicted why was I even here what business of it was mine that's he was with someone else but I remain seated there listening on their conversation my discomfort building but not enough to make me get up and leave.
I even ordered a cup of coffee that I didn't finish instead just kept taking empty sips of it.
His conversation with the woman continued until finally she lean closed and give him a peck on the cheeks that was when I shifted and knocked off my coffee what's happened next was my cup shattering with a sound of that could have split the walls the few customers in the coffee shop turned towards my direction and I could feel the blood burning from my neck over to my face and my cheeks I wanted to get up and leave but that's what only draw more attention eventually someone came to clean up the mess and I was just trying to retreat into myself.
I couldn't even bear to look in their direction anymore until I sensed that they were heading towards the exit together, I waited for a bit longer to confirm that they were gone before I finally decided to stand up myself and as I did so there was a tinge of saltiness on my lips I checked it and realized that I was crying I wiped it off with the back of my hand.
As they were gone I buried my face into my palms regretting even coming here in the first place what was I even thinking I was going to achieve when I go to here boom I've confirmed it as he was having a relationship with another woman!
So what?
It's not like we wear anything to each other it's not like the relationship I had with Raphael when we were confirmed mates.
But if he was going to have his affair this openly it might affect our arrangement after all we were going so far to make people believe that we were a legit couple seeing him galvanizing around with someone else wasn't going to help.
I pushed myself up to my feet even if he didn't end the relationship with this woman he would have to be more careful with it after all I was able to trace him back here to this very public meeting sports anyone else could have seen and recognize him if they paid enough attention and I didn't want anything that would interfere with my revenge that was why I was so invested in this because I think it's my just interfere with what I was here to do.
Before he could return to the park house, I had first paid the cab driver extra for him to really step on the gas.
Thankfully I arrived before him and as I was making my way into the pack house someone spotted me and called casually out to me and it was someone I did not even want to deal with so early in the morning.
Eclipse.
She was strutting towards me with two servants holding mop buckets and sticks behind her when she got close to me she grabbed one of the cleaning supplies from the servants behind her and held it out to me.
"You seem to be really free this morning why don't you help around a bit, it's not like you're doing anything else right now and you have been living comfortably here in this park house for a while now. It shouldn't hurt for you to contribute just this much." She said it with such a smug satisfied smile and with the kind of horrible mood I was walking into the pack house with she was lucky I didn't just slap her across the face immediately even though that was my first inclination.
I crossed my arms together and gave her a direct stare.
"Repeat what you expect me to do," I said my voice as sharp as a dagger she seemed a bit taken aback, but quickly recovered forming one of those first smiles on her face that never went up to her eyes.
"Alpha Raphael says that everybody needs to contribute to show their support for the birth of his future heir, I'm just trying to help you out with that instead of idling away. Isn't that a good thing?"
Now I didn't want my son to have any relationship with Raphael when I was done with this place but the way she's so confidently said his future heir when nothing had been truly confirmed about this child (of there was even one in the first place) she spoke of Raphael as if I was still supposed to be infatuated with him and then I understood what she was actually working with she thoughts that I was here probably to seduce Raphael and take back the position that had been forcefully and wrongfully stripped away from me.
I nearly burst out laughing when I came to that conclusion in my mind instead I let out my own insincere smile.
"So what you're saying is that you need somebody who can mop and clean up?"
"Yes, well not me exactly Raphael I'm just trying to help out in my own little way by making sure everybody else does their parts-" she was saying that I brushed by her side so hard that the mop water spilled all over her.
"Great now dry yourself up, I think that's enough for my own contribution. If you need me to contribute anything else then make sure to tell me."
I left with her seething behind me.
