She needed to know if he was giving her the cold shoulder just because Seraphina had thrown a fit.As long as she waited for Mortimer and walked in with him, the public would automatically assume they were still intimately involved.But she never in a million years expected Seraphina to actually show up.When Mortimer helped his wife out of the car, seeing Seraphina looking like that, Vivian practically ground her teeth into dust.The underlying sense of threat she had always felt regarding Seraphina skyrocketed to an absolute peak the second she saw her flawless face tonight.Once the two of them stepped inside the banquet hall, Mortimer leaned in close to Seraphina's ear and whispered carefully, "I didn't invite her."As he explained, he nervously studied Seraphina's

But to Vivian, it felt like a silent, deliberate provocation.Seeing Mortimer treat her like she was completely invisible—making her look like a massive joke—she gritted her teeth and recklessly threw herself right into his path."Mortimer, why are you so late? I've been waiting for you forever," she whined right in front

    Third Person's POVAt those words, the gathered media swarmed forward.Cameras were hoisted high, flashes popping relentlessly at the still-closed car doors.Just then, the door swung open."Alpha Mortimer—"But when they got a clear look at who was stepping out, the crowd's high-pitched excitement died down for a few seconds.It wasn't Mortimer and his wife; it was the Davis family.Calming down, the reporters finally noticed that the Bentley's license plate didn't belong to Mortimer's usual ride.Vivian stepped out of the car, practically swimming in a heavy, elaborate evening gown."Hello, everyone." Vivian waved at the reporters with a brilliant, practiced smile.They recognized her quickly—wasn't this the Davis family's precious daughter?

    Third Person's POVBeautiful as a painting. For the first time in her life, Seraphina actually felt like that phrase applied to her own reflection.She finally understood what Wilda meant when she complimented her once. "You're so gorgeous. If you ever actually dress up, you'll be stunned by your own beauty."Good. Now she got it.She really was stunned by the girl in the mirror. The stylist's uncontrollable gasp echoed in her ear again, "Luna Seraphina, you look absolutely breathtaking."Just then, the doorbell rang.The stylist ran over to open it. "Mr. Craig, you're here."Mortimer walked in. An unsuppressed, heavy Alpha aura instantly spread across the room.Like a proud artist showing off her masterpiece, the stylist smiled at Mortimer.

    Third Person's POVIt was that same automated female voice again.At this point, no matter how much she didn't want to admit it, Vivian couldn't deny the cold, hard truth: Mortimer had blocked her.Mortimer—the man who had always catered to her every whim and let her get away with absolutely anything—had blocked her!"How is this possible? How could this happen..."Vivian collapsed onto the rug, completely unable to wrap her head around it.He had spoiled her so rotten over the years that she couldn't fathom the idea of the high-and-mighty Alpha suddenly revoking all her special privileges.She scrambled to grab her phone, opened her messaging app, and stubbornly shot Mortimer a text. She fell back on what she did best—playing the victim to trigger his protective instincts."Mortimer, I'm out of the detention center. It was so horrible and scary in there. I feel completely off. Can you go with me to see my therapist for a check-up later?""Mom and Dad went to the Healing Center to be
