Joarme
The
tears caille streaming down my cheeks as he stormed out of the room, slamming the door shut.
His words repeated in my head, and I tried to reason if she actually hurt herself that badly just to implicate me. How evil can one person bet
Is it not bad enough that she has my husband completely wrapped around her finger!
The more I thought about it, the more heartbroken I felt. One would think that he would be smart enough to see things objectively but the moment Poppy was involved all his rationality vanished into thin air
I got off the floor, wiping my tears. I could still feel the sting of his pahn on my checks.
Later that day, he returned to the room with a bouquet of roses. I sat up, thinking he was back to his senses and reads
As angry and hurt as I was, I was ready to forgive him and take him back. He was my mate, after all. However, Collins dropped the bouquet of roses on my lap, barely meeting my eyes.
I ready to make amends
all I need you to do is get a pen and wires a
I should have let you get the roses yourself, but I did it anyway. There’s a wish card inside the flowers, al sincere apology to Poppy. After that, we can forget any of this ever happened,” he said
I couldn’t believe my ears. He wants me to apologise to Poppy for something I had no hand in, yet he wouldn’t apologise for hitting me over her
accusationL
Here I thought that my husband was finally regaining his senses.
I shoved the roses off me and his jaw tightened,
“I will not apologise for something I had no hand in, I said coldly and made to walk past him, but he grabbed my arm and shoved me back against the chair.
I bounced on the co
couch and almost fell off.
“I have been trying my best to tolerate you but you keep pushing me to the wall. Take up a pen and write that apology now?” He growled.
I regained myself. Anger coursed through my veins as I glared at him, Goddess forbid I write an apology to that arrogant thing for hurting herself. just to gain my husband’s pity.
“Or what?” I challenged. “Are you going to hit me again!”
Something shifted in his expression and he quickly tried to justify his actions.
“You did something unimaginable to Poppy yet complain over a mere slap?” His eyes darkened. “Take up that pen, Joanne.”
“No, I won’t! You
might as well beat me to death!” is spat.
“How dare you..” He raised his hand to
d to hit me again, and I cowered, anticipating the impact, when I heard her voice suddenly
“Colling
He backed away from me, staring at her like she was the most precious thing in the w world
A gaspe
fell off my lips as I took in the damage she inflicted on her once flawless skin, simply because she wanted Collins to hate me.
From her arms to her face, there were deep claw wounds. I suddenly understood why he was angry. I would be pissed if someone did that to anyone I cared about
She looked so fragile and pitiful. Just how desperate and cunning can this woman be!
Are you trying
g to hit your wife?”
If I didn’t know better, I would have thought the disappointment in her voice was real.
“Since when
hen did you start hinting women?”
Collins’s expression fell drastically,
e deserves it, doesn’t she? Look at what she did to you. Your face, your arms, everywhere!” Collins growled. “And even at that, she still wouldn’t

“That is not enough reason for you to beat her. She is only a woman and you are Alpha. You have no right to use your strength against her!” Poppy
chided him
“How can you still I defend her after she did this to you?” Collins asked in awe.
My expression morphed into a glare as she came closer. Of course, she could say those words because I did absolutely nothing to her!
I wanted to scream that in his face but he still wouldn’t believe me. Not with this pretentious woman here.
“It doesn’t matter, I must have done something to anger her for her to threaten me this way” she stepped forward towards me, smirking slightly
She fell on her knees immediately, “Forgive me, Luna, if I did anything to offend you. Please.. Don’t stay angry at me anymore. I’m sorry whatever I did 10…“
Collins quickly helped her up
“What are you doing? She should be the one to apologise!” He stated.
“Let it be, please. I’m certain the Launa has her reasons. I am the one at fault here, please don’t make her apologise. She did nothing wrong,” Poppy said, tears sliding freely down her cheeks.
I was stunned by the acting and simply speechless.
“You need some rest, Ill take you back to the ward, Thomas said, sliding his arms around her waist to support her.
On getting to the door, he looked back at me with a threatening growl.
11 be back for you,” he glared.
It felt like my heart shattered into a million pieces. Could this really be the man I fell in love with! The one who promised before the heavens to keep a smile on my face no matter what?
How could be….
How could be let one woman come between us after everything I gave up to be with him!
Tears poured down my cheeks in torrents. As much as I wanted to be strong and not
ot let this
get to me, it just wasn’t working
I loved him way too much not to be hurt over him punishing me for another woman.
I don’t know how long I remained there on the floor, but when I was done, my eyes were swollen and hurting, and my head banged like it was being hammered.
I forced myself off the floor and went to take a long shower. By the time I returned, Collins was just coming in with Poppy.
I frowned, wondering what they were both doing here again.
Joanne, Poppy will be staying here tonight, Collins informed me. A ghost smirk played on her lips as I looked between them.
“Why? What happened to her room!” Lasked
“You see, she is prone to having nightmares, and her room gets very y cold at night, so I want her to stay here, where I can watch her properly.” He
never felt so disrespected in my life.
“You want to bring this woman into our matrimonial bed?” I asked him.
“Why are you making it sound like I want to sleep with her! I just want to see her comfortable, and you did this for her, so I don’t see why you should be complaining!” He bit back.
o you want all three of us to share the bed,” A bitter chuckle escaped my lips. “Well, I won’t agree to this. If you want her comfortable, you can take libe to any other room in the mansion and spent the night with her if you please!”
His eyes blazed with anger.

“We won’t do anything, Luna. Your husband is a good man. He loves you dearly and speaks so highly of you,” Poppy’s taunting words drove me to
