Chapitre 42: _

Negan

~~

The night went just as I imagined it.

I knew Catherine was up to no good. She might have everyone else deceived with her 'concerned mother' facade, but I knew her game all too well and saw right through it.

The auction party had been going smoothly until the electricity flickered and the footage of me and Phoebe from the garden was shown on the projection screen.

Catherine did an Oscar-worthy performance, pretending like she was just as shocked as the rest of the audience when the footage was shown, even though she'd probably watched it on repeat.

Anyway, the party ended up being disbanded after Kaene publicly rejected Phoebe as his mate AGAIN in the presence of all the elites.

Oh, and the part where he punched me... That left a scratch, I'm not gonna lie.

I walked out of the Alpha mansion, reminiscing on all these things while using the back of my hand to clean off some blood dripping out of my nose.
