Chapter 48
There was a moment of silence. We were still trying to digest the fact that John and Jimson had carried out this
plan well under people's eyes for more than a decade.
Finally, | drew in a breath and asked, “So... what now? Will you
be replacing the employees? | mean... the plant is practically
riddled with problems.””
Olivia's POV
“Yes,” Alexander said. His voice was calm, precise-like he was
discussing quarterly reports. “I will reorganize the plant. These
corrupt elements have givenno choice.”
He meant it. After what happened at the plant, it was the bare
minimum other workers would expect for a better faith in their
Alpha.
Then, as if summoned by a ghost, the door swung open and in

He halted mid-step at the fork between Alexander's shoulder
and my bedside. His eyes flickered-anger, pain, and something
darker. His stance stiffened.
Alexander looked up, his expression cool. Then Ethan’s hands

curled into fists at his sides, his jaw tightened.
“Why are you showing up here... every, single, day?” Ethan's
voice cracked. His lips curled back revealing ivory fangs. “She’s
my woman,” he snarled, a low growl! tearing through his throat.
“And I'll kill any man,” he gestured at Alexander, “who tries to
seduce her.”
Even Yve growled in the back of my mind. “Why can’t Ethan

just leave us alone?”
Alexander offered a half-smile. His cool gaze sharpened. “She's
my employee,” he replied. “I've cbecause she was injured-
on my watch.”
Ethan snarled louder, baring even more canine teeth. His eyes
glowed amber beneath the fluorescent light.
Alexander didn’t flinch.
Gai stepped in-solid, calm-his voice low but firm. “Please don’t
get it wrong Ethan. Alpha Alexander isn’t a playboy. He's
showmanship, yes-but he’s also the best Alpha I've ever
known.”
Ethan whirled on Gai. Even Gai’s face paled slightly. Ethan's lips
curled as he hissed, “Don’t try to get any closer to her.”
| held up a hand, a ridiculous gesture, but it worked. “Stop,” | said
bitterly, voice trembling with frustration. “Alexander doesn’t

The room blinked. Literally. The three men froze, and even the nurse peeking in stopped her typing.

Then Alexander smirked, face turning amused-and a little vindicated. He said softly, “I appreciate the...
coverage.” He peered atover his glasses. “Public awareness is useful.” Intrigue mixed with admiration in his
tone. “Thank you.” Then
he turned on his heel and left.
Before | could say, “It's not like that!” the door clicked-the foolproof machine of hospital privacy claimed its
territory.
Ethan stood there, fangs still visible, lips pulled tight. “Gay?” He spat the word in disbelief. “Is he really gay?”
“Shut up!” | scoffed, cheeks aching with anger. “Our marriage is
already over.”
With a soft growl, Ethan stepped in close, almost touching me. “No.” His tone was low, deadly. He bared his
fangs again. “We
won't be over... until the day | die.”
The next morning, | was discharged from the hospital.
My bandaged leg throbbed slightly as | was wheeled to the entrance. Gai was already waiting with a sleek black
SUV. A
Green Group pilot stood beside him in a clean, pressed uniform, looking crisp and serious-unlike the chaos of the
man behind
me.
“Olivia, you don’t need to fly back on Alexander's private jet,” Ethan said sharply, stepping forward. “I've already
arranged my
own.”
| didn’t even look at him. “Thanks, but no thanks,” | said. “I'll go with the group.”
“Why?” he snapped, then softened immediately. “You don’t need
them, Olivia. | can take care of you. You don’t need to use his
jet.”
| turned to Gai. “Can | get the wheelchair?”
Before Gai could respond, Ethan lunged ahead and grabbed it
first, practically yanking it from the
orderly. “I'll doit hedTke cbntent is

My eyes narrowed. “Don’t touch me.”
“I'm your husband,” he said quietly.
“You're a nightmare | haven't woken up from,” | replied.
Ethan blinked. But for once, he said nothing. He helpedinto
the chair-too gently, like he thought it would change
something-and followed us to the car.

Then cAlexander. He stood by the jet’s boarding gate, sharp
in his black coat, arms folded, the wind lifting a few strands of
his hair.
He glanced over once, and his eyes went straight to Ethan.
“Did he hitch a ride?” Alexander asked casually, nodding toward
him.
Ethan huffed. “I can pay for it.””
Alexander didn't even blink. Greg
