Chapter 2
The stir in the lobby caused quite a few spectators to gather, whispers spreading like wildfire.
“Homewrecker? Really? But isn’t she the manager from HQ?”
“Who knows. One can never ever truly know another, right?”
Bella’s eyes burned with rage.
“Of course it’s true! Dominic complained to me about her plenty of times!”
“He told me he had this college classmate who used her seniority and big clients to harass him nonstop!”
“Dominic’s a kind soul who dislikes trouble, so he transferred here to LA. just to escape her. Can you believe how shameless she is, chasing him all the way here?”
Bella whipped out her phone, showing messages to those around.
“Look, these are all from Domini!”
[Baby, Audrey landed another deal and used it to pressure me again. I can’t stand it.]
[But she’s the top performer. Dad values her too much, or else I’d have fired her long ago.]
[Today she cornered me under the pretense of a report. Weren’t it in the office, I’d have yelled at her. She’s insane! Dealing with her is driving me crazy!]
[Thank Goddess I came to LA, and found you. You’re my salvation.]
[Only with you can I breathe again.]
Each message twisted reality, every word a knife.
According to him, I exploited performance metrics and client contracts to blackmall and harass him. Even worse, he depicted me as a disgusting, clingy stalker that he just couldn’t shake off. Life with me was daily torture.
When in truth, I joined Darkhawl Pack because he said he’d found me a good position.
I wanted to be closer, so I agreed to start at the bottom.
I worked myself to the bone, just to prove to my father that I’d chosen right.
Seven years of youth Seven years of loyalty. Seven years of devotion.
In his mouth, it all became seven years of harassment and a pathetic chase. All along, I had just been a joke.
I clenched my fists, blood boiling.
The crowd murmured:
my
… so that’s the truth. Poor Dominic!”
“She looks so dignified and proper, but there’s not an ounce of decency in her.”
“How could a perfect guy like Dominic ever be interested in her? She wouldn’t stand a chance with him no matter how many times she tried
“Exactly! Bella’s beautiful, kind, wealthy. They’re the real match!”
“Quick, get this on the company chat! Everyone needs to see the true colors of this HQ manager!TM
Phones snapped and recorded, hungry for gossip.
Amy was standing at Bella’s side, yelling at me smugly. “You hear that, stalker? Get lost!”

“Our company doesn’t need trash like you.”
I unclenched my fists slowly.
“Are you finished?”
“How do you know everything Dominic told you is true?”
“Did he forget to mention that in college, he begged me to be his girlfriend?”
“He stood outside my dorm with flowers for three months before I finally said yes.”
Chapter 3
Bella suddenly burst into laughter, and the colleagues all followed with roaring laughter.
“Dominic begged you? Are you completely delusional?”
She pointed at the giant billboard outside the lobby.
“See that? Everyone in Los Angeles knows that 1, Bella Carter, am Dominic’s future mate
“What fantasy world were you chased in? Need I call an ambulance to send you to the psych ward?”
The whispers around us grew louder.
“That’s right! Delusion is a mental illness that needs treatment.”
“She’s supposed to be a manager at the New York headquarters? Looks more like she escaped from a mental hospital!”
Bella’s smile darkened.
“Dominic is too kind to bother with you, but I’m not. Today I’m going to teach you a lesson on his behalf, you shameless bitch!”
Before her words even fell, she raised her hand to slap me again.
This time, I was prepared and shifted to the side.
But my movement completely enraged her.
“You dare to dodge? Hold her down!”
Amy and several cronies immediately rushed forward, each one seizing one of my arms.
1 struggled desperately, but a female colleague twisted my arm behind me and forced me to the ground.
“Out in the open like this, you dare hit someone?”
“So what if I do?
Bella walked up in front of me, towering above, and patted my face.
“I am Dominic’s future mate, the future Luna of Darkhawl Pack”
“In Los Angeles, who can stop me from teaching someone a lesson?”
She admired my helpless state, and her eyes finally landed on my face.
“This face, must be your weapon to seduce male werewolves, isn’t it?”
She sneered coldly.
“Today, I’ll scratch it up real good. Let’s see how you lure them after this!”
Smack! Smack!
Two consecutive heavy slaps, hard and merciless.
My head spun, my ears rang. My checks burned with pain, and I tasted blood in my mouth.
I lifted my head and glared at her fiercely
You’ll regret this.”
Bella laughed even louder, exaggerating as she clutched her chest.
Regret? Oh, I’m so scared.”
