Chapter 19

LADESSA.

I'd been staring at the clock the whole morning, and by lunchtime, I finally decided I couldn't just sit still and wait for Corrine to come home.

I wanted to see Kael, even if only for a moment and from a distance.

I put on black jeans and a black hoodie before leaving the apartment and walking toward the commercial area. Corrine's home was just three blocks away, so I didn't need to take a bus or a cab to get there.

It should be an easy walk, but I had to keep my guard up all the time. I didn't want him or any of Alpha Draco's men to see me if they were looking for me.

I honestly have no idea if Kael knew I was sold to Alpha Draco. If I based it on what Corrine told me last night that Kael was looking for me, it seemed he didn't know. But then a part of me thought that maybe he was just faking his statement so he could buy the ring back.

I still remember the way he treated me after he woke up and how he dismissed my feelings by letting Desiree crawl all over him while I was still in the house, married to him.

Or how he played with me and fucked me only to let me know he wanted Desiree.

Now that I'm gone, it's possible that they've already made their relationship public. Maybe they were inseparable, and I was long forgotten.

My heart clenched in pain as I stopped walking.

Wanting to see Kael was a stupid decision. I should move on.
