Pregnant With Alpha’s Genius Twins

#Chapter 139 – The News

“Amelia,” Victor growls, still angry by the revelation of her deceit.

She, however, is unphased. Or at least, she acts like it.

“Victor!” she says, taking four happy steps forward, closing the distance between them and placing a kiss on his cheek. Around him, Victor hears the crowd hush, all eyes on them.

“Oh, darling, don’t tell me you’re leaving,” Amelia coos, putting a soft hand on his cheek.

Victor stops himself from flinching away, not wanting to give the onlookers anything to gossip about. He looks down at Amelia for a moment and curses, internally, when he sees the flash of a camera to his right.

He turns to glare at the reporter, who skitters away, before turning his attention back to Amelia. “Yes,” he growls, “I’m leaving.”

“Such a shame,” she murmurs, looking beyond him and waving to a friend at the back of the room. “I was hoping we could catch up over a drink. Next time, then.”

Ignoring her words – all fake, anyway, the kind of niceties you’d say to a casual acquaintance – Victor nods to her. “Good evening, Amelia, have a nice time.” Then, not waiting for an answer, he steps around her and storms from the Prath home.

God damnit, he thinks as he meets his two Betas in the drive and they head for his car. Amelia had played it perfectly, with her casual indifference and untroubled smiles. Onlookers would think that she’d gotten over him, relegated him to her past.

Not that she was actively working to undermine him, destroy him, which she certainly was.

Frustrated, he climbs into the back of the black sedan. Again, Amelia is a step ahead of him.

But he would find a way to turn it. He has Evelyn on his side, now, he knows, and once they go public with her Luna status, everything would change. Amelia would be forgotten and Annabeth would see, again, his personal emphasis on family values.

Everything would be set right.
