The Alpha's Defiant Human Mate And Her Hidden Fortune

About this story

Synopsis

For three years, I played the flawless, docile human wife, sacrificing everything to cure Lord Alton Whitehead's incurable affliction. But on the day our healing bond was fulfilled, instead of a celebration, he publicly discarded me for the Archon's radiant daughter. He shook me off like a piece of lint and ordered me to hand over my late mother's only heirloom to his new lover. When I hesitated, he ordered his guards to whip my innocent maid to death until I complied. Worse still, his mother summoned me in secret to offer a "reward" for my three years of devotion. "You will die in an accident and become Alton's secret mistress." She said it casually, expecting me to be grateful for the shameful scraps. All my sleepless nights and endless care were reduced to a cruel joke, leaving my heart shattered and my dignity trampled. They thought I was just a pathetic, helpless human who would accept their abuse, terrified of their absolute noble power. They mocked me as they kicked me out of the estate without a single copper coin of the compensation I was legally owed. But they didn't know I was the one who demanded the dissolution papers. As we left the estate with nothing but the clothes on my back, my maid cried out in outrage. "Your own fortune could buy ten Whitehead estates!" I calmly silenced her, a cold smile finally reaching my eyes. This time, I chose to walk away and let their crumbling house burn.
