30 Parker He couldnt believe what Carina had done , barely 10 days after hed taken Belladonnas picture down from his company page , he hadnt yet announced that they were getting divorced , and Carina had pictures of him and her in the socialite pages of the local newspaper .
There was even a quote from her I love Parker so very much , and our wedding will be big and lavish .
It was a photo of them together .
Shed been all pressed up against him , her lips had been on his , taken inside the packhouse , hed not even known someone had taken a photo of them .
Hed retracted it as quickly as he could .
But it was too late .
Hed not known about it until it was too late , it had taken all of an hour from that photo of them being released to the human world , for him to start taking hits .
Called an adulterer , because there was no divorce seen from his wife Belladonna .
His PR team were fielding calls all over the place , and were at this time stating no comment because he had no idea how to deal with it .
Carina and her father both knew that he was going to wait a year before announcing her as his wife , so there was a gap between her and Belladonna .
The mere mention of his former Mates name had started an argument with Carina .
Shed yelled at him about not wanting to hear that she wolfs name .
That shed told him this already , it was a common courtesy not to say it .
Yelled about why did he have to go and bring her up .
Why couldnt he just smile for the humans and state I love Carina , and shell be getting the biggest and most lavish wedding there is .
Then , the following day , there were questions raised about where Belladonna was .
could find her .
What had happened to her ? Had Parker , sent her away to take up with his mistress , a 20 year old model .
Then more articles had come out and about Carina in not such a good light .
Theyd dug into her , she was from a well to do family but only competed year 12 , but had not gone on to university , got called a gold digger for attaching herself to a married man 23 years older than she was .
To which she herself had told them she was a model for Lustre Inc.
That had blown things out of proportions even more , and his stocks were taking a hit because they had actually found out she wasnt a model with his company .
Until after shed been found out to be in a relationship with him .
One of them had stated Parker Hartlys gold digging mistress , made a model by her sugar daddy , after ousting his loyal wife of eight years , a Dr of 1/3 30 +10 Paint Obstetrics and Gynaecology .
Where is Belladonna Harrington ? He was sitting in his boardroom fuming , he was now a sugar daddy as well as an adulterer .
His company shares were dropping drastically , and there was nothing he could do about it .
He had to respond to the press , it was all he could bloody do , put out a blanket statement via his PR team , because he wasnt going out there to listen to all the rude and crude things that were being stated about himself , hed likely lose his temper and roll his Alpha Aura at them all , and that would out the Wolfen Kind to them .
That statement read simply , that he and Belladonna were divorced .
It had been done quietly because there was no animosity to it .
That she had simply taken a job in another state and moved herself away .
That he hadnt kept track of his ex wife , because why would he ? That the divorce was finalised , and they were officially over before hed started seeing Carina .
They didnt much care for that statement either , because no one could find the divorce papers , or Belladonna herself to confirm this , and they wanted that ; her opinion on this , there were comments about what had she gotten in the divorce .
Others commented that there was no way a man as wealthy as he was , hadnt wound up in court even if there was a prenup .
Bella should have gotten part of his estate or a large monetary sum from him , the press would have been all over that , went on about it was a lie , that hed shipped her off out of the country , and they were back to targeting him .
It was not helping at all with the stocks , he was furiously mad at Carina for releasing their photos to the press , and he knew it was her because he hadnt bloody approved it .
He wouldnt have , not for a solid 12 months , and she knew that .
He had one investor pull out of the company altogether, was a family man and prided himself on working with only good standing men himself .
His Wolfen allies had all been informed and understood , werent yanking themselves from his company , or alliance deals , so he wasnt taking as big a hit as hed expected to , but still it was enough to cause share prices to fall .
Hed had no choice but to pull Carina in for her first photoshoot with Lustre Inc.
and she was not at all ready to be out there as a model either .
She might be blonde and pretty , but there was more to modelling than a pretty face .
She didnt understand how to pose , and didnt like the products she was advertising , didnt like being told what to do by the human director of the photo shoot , The woman was a bloody nightmare for his photographers and employees , and she got photographed several times yelling at the advertising staff , the promotions staff , the actual photographers and the other model who was actually doing her job and knew how to do it .
2/3 +10 Poin 30 Was in Carinas opinion showing her up , so had yelled at her about it , and those photos had leaked to the press as well .
Nothing , it seemed , was going right with his life at all at the moment , and he just wanted to rip his hair out .
Her opinion of being there working as a model was , which was quoted by the one selling the photos to the tabloids , Im Parkers soon to be new wife , and well shoot what I want to shoot , when I say Im ready .
Not when or what you want ! He had drawn that contract up that very night and put in several clauses that if she didnt follow them , he would rescind her position as a model himself .
That had set off an argument inside their suite , and shed had the hide to try and strike him , with an open handed slap .
Hed leaned back away from her and Vex had shot to the surface and snarled all Alpha aggression at her , only to have her tilt her chin and state Im your equal , you cant threaten me .
If you do that again , Parker had looked down at her , Ill strike you back , a hit for a hit , you forget your place .
I am the Alpha , and I wont be standing for that .
He had stood there and stared her down until shed finally gotten the message , that he was in charge and not her , and she had stalked off , banged out of the suite altogether .
Hed then confiscated her pack card , like he had told her he would if they took a hit on the stocks , only took hers because hed not done anything wrong , and shed moved herself out of the Alpha suite completely , and was currently residing in the Luna Suite .
Had screamed at him at the top of her lungs for all in the pack to hear , Youre cruel , mean and vindictive .
And slammed the door of the Luna Suite in his face .
