All Chapters of The Barren Luna’s Revenge; Dear Ex, Your Only Heir Is Mine: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Carmen's povIt was evening by the time I crossed back from the veil. I had nowhere specific to go so I decided to return to the estate.Night had settled in fully by the time I returned to the estate. The palace however was strangely quiet.Too quiet.As I walked through the grand hallway, I immediately noticed an unusual phenomenon.Silas who left in the early hours of the evening was nowhere to be seen. Not the bedroom, his office, the lounge, or anywhere.Well, I had to say I did expect something like that but not so fast.I teased Chloe and the teasing was already coming to pass, Silas had already gone to look for a replacement for her.Another foolish tramp eager to climb into his bed for status and power. The thought disgusted me, not because I had any more feelings for him but because it also confirmed that Silas never truly loved Chloe.He never did but he killed me for her in my past, that was how worthless I was to him.As my thoughts went to Chloe, I recalled that she had

Carmen's POVCayden and I arrived at the land hall in silence. Each with their thoughts.Despite my perpetual lateness, we made it before the official bidding began.The moment we stepped inside, I understood why the place was able to gather even the most prominent of human politics, the very cream of the crop. Rows and rows of elevated seating circled the center stage where the bidding platform stood. Massive golden screens displayed the details of each property while servants moved elegantly between tables, carrying wine and the bidding board.Bouncers and huge hefty men stood in front of the VIP session. Cayden and I walked to the session, our invitation card in our hands.There was not much difference between the VIP hall and the regular hall, except for the presence of a screen that could guarantee your privacy if you wished, but most actually do not use it.Humans were creatures of flattery and fame, after all, how could they pass up a good chance to be flattered by their peers

Carmen’s PovThe bidding war escalated rapidly. Numbers flashed across the golden screen so quickly that several people in the audience had already given up trying to compete.“Eight hundred million,” the sound of a person’s voice pulled me to reality. Whatever was happening, whatever craziness was put on display, this was a first for me.A billion!Cayden dropped a large freaking bomb that almost made me go crazy. The entire hall erupted in murmurs at the sound of that price.Even the auctioneer had a wide grin on her face like she had struck it rich. I, on the other hand, felt like strangling Cayden.My sleeves were gripped so tight that they ripped apart, I simply could not take this anymore, I had to do something.I desperately kicked his feet beneath the table, trying to stop him from making another bid. Cayden just stared at me with such an innocent look on his face and actually continued to raise his hands up.“Cayden, this is not funny anymore. Put your hand down.” I whispered

Carmen's POVI did not even want to talk about what happened on the drive back.I saw a side of Chloe that I did not think I would ever see. Chloe never even loved Silas, she was with him because she wanted to be Luna.Now that she had been introduced to a more efficient way of getting what she wanted, it was only going to be a matter of time before she implemented her plan.As for Mallon, I definitely needed to know what hatred exists between him and his Alpha, to whom he swore loyalty. Three days had passed ever since that…..well, excruciating video recording, and Charlie, as he said, actually took a vacation.I remained in the mental hospital, five girls lay down on the metal table like experiments and on a white chair, Cayden was working on some mixture.The humans say that a man looked his best when he worked. I must say, I agreed with that statement when Cayden was the main character.His chiseled and concentrated face, and he made magic from the ingredients before him, twirling

Cayden's POVBlood spilled out of my mouth, splashing across the floor like acid.“Cayden.” The five girls gathered around me, Nika especially holding my shirt tight and firm.“It's okay.” I tried to reassure them, but the scent came again, this time stronger and with a voice attached to it through telepathy.“Find me.” My eyes were already roaming around, looking for that threat. As I kept on looking for him, my eyes came across a boy, barely in his twenties, dressed in an old English outfit.The boy had curly black hair like obsidian and his eyes, a beautiful golden brown. He had a soft smile on his face as he looked at me as if pleased.The moment my eyes made eye contact with him, I felt a serious throbbing in my chest; every instinct in my body screamed danger.No."Danger" was too mild a word to describe whatever that thing was.He clearly looked like a fresher in college, with his oversized coat and his hat resting on his lap as he sat on the bench, but the aura radiating from
