Chapter 17
Cara’s POV
The name “Lucy” flashing on the screen snapped Arthur back to his senses.
His breathing was still uneven, his shirt damp, marked with kisses, just seconds ago, desire had overtaken him.
He’d wanted me.
Arthur tried to rationalize it–he didn’t like me. This was just biology. He was a man, and f was… irresistible.
He accepted the call. Guilt weighed on his voice, softening it.
“Lucy.”
Heavy bass music thudded through the receiver. Lucy’s voice was sweet,
“Arthur, I’m at a bar right now.”
“No drinking,” he said sternly. “Tell your Omega assistant to get you milk.”
“Got it~ My assistant always listens to you. Arthur, come keep me company–I’m waiting for
you.”
Arthur turned to leave.
But I reached out–my hand small, trembling–and grabbed his sleeve.
He turned.
I was soaked. My dress clung to my body, my eyes rimmed red as I clutched him tightly.
He tried to pull away. But I wouldn’t let go.

He opened his mouth to speak–but I launched forward, wrapping my arms around him.
My breath brushed against his ear. “Don’t go…. please.”
Years had passed, I’d grown up–but the fear of abandonment hadn’t left me.
I still hated standing alone in the middle of a crowd, watching someone walk away.
Arthur was caught in the moment.
From the other end of the call, Lucy’s voice came again.
“Arthur? Are you still there? Hurry over.”
Then-
“Alpha…”
That one word.
Soft. Familiar.
Arthur froze.
Only one girl had ever called him that like this.
Wasn’t that girl supposed to be Lucy?
His face changed.
“Lucy, something came up. I’m not coming.”
He hung up.
Then he shoved me against the wall, dark eyes drilling into mine.
“Who told you to call me ‘Alpha‘ like that? Who the hell are you, Cara?”

But I didn’t answer.
I leaned in and kissed him.
Soft. Bold. Unapologetic.
Arthur didn’t close his eyes. Neither did I.
And for a moment–he saw it.
My eyes. The same shimmering gaze as that long–lost girl.
I pulled away when I realized he wasn’t responding.
Fine.
I turned to leave.
But his arm snapped tight around my waist, dragging me into his chest.
His lips crashed down on mine.
Third POV
At the bar.
Lucy sipped from her drink, cheeks tinged pink from the aphrodisiac she’d just taken.
Her Omega assistant asked, “Miss Lucy, isn’t Arthur coming?”
Lucy frowned. Something was off during the call. Someone else had been with him.
She immediately called Andy.
“Were you with Arthur tonight?”
Andy’s voice came through. “No, Lucy. But he called me earlier–something about a woman being drugged.”

A woman?
Lucy’s expression darkened.
Me.
It had to be me.
But then–Lucy smiled sweetly.
“Get me a packet of… something.”
The Omega blinked. “What kind of something?”
Lucy’s voice lowered, seductive and cruel.
“An aphrodisiac.”
Cara’s POV
Back at the villa.
My legs buckled. Arthur caught me before I could hit the floor.
I was flushed, trembling, lips swollen from our kiss.
Then–his phone buzzed. A video call.
From Lucy.
He hesitated, then answered.
Lucy appeared on screen, seated at the bar with a drink. She smiled.
“Arthur, is Cara with you? Did she get drugged?”
Arthur stayed silent.

It was Lucy who dragged me
Arthur’s fee turned thundwINIS
Then a tall man shid into the frame and approached her.
“Hey, gorgeous Can I buy you a drink?”
Lucy gestured to the video call. “That’s my boyfriend. But if he doesn’t show up in 30 minutes. I’m yours”
Arthur’s voice was ice. “What the hell are you doing?”
Lucy smiled sweetly.
“Arthur, tonight you have to choose. Me… or Cara.”
“You can only have one woman.”
She hung up
Arthur’s hand clenched around the phone, knuckles white with rage.
You can only have one woman…
You can only have one daughter…
The words echoed in my mind.

He was already changing into a fresh shirt and trousers.
When he turned back, his eyes were cool.
