Chapter 23
Cara sat in the backseat of Arthur’s Rolls–Royce. He drove.
Neither spoke.
Silence filled the luxurious cabin. The tension was thick.
Arthur’s hand gripped the wheel tightly, veins prominent beneath his expensive watch.
Every turn, every acceleration was smooth, practiced.
Then he asked, voice tight.
“Last night. Who took you home?”
Cara’s brows twitched.
“The man you sent? Not my type. I found someone else.”
She paused, then added,
“A man who actually knows how to kiss.”
Arthur’s fingers tightened on the steering wheel.
He glanced at her through the rearview mirror, voice sharp.
“Are you still talking about that kiss because youenjoyed it that much?”
Cara met his gaze head–on.
“Seems likeyou haven’t forgotten it either.”
Arthur:“”
He cursed himself for asking.

The atmosphere turned suffocating.
Then his phone rang.
He answered. It was a call from the Silver Moon Pack’s ancestral home.
“Alpha,” said the old butler, “The Madam isn’t feeling well. She’s been asking for the Luna nonstop. Please bring her home.”
Arthur frowned.
Of all times… the old lady had to summon Caranow, just as they were heading to finalize
their divorce,
He changed direction without a word.
Cara tensed.
“Where are we going?”
Arthur didn’t look back.
“Grandmother wants to see you. You know what to do.”
Cara scoffed.
“Fake being the loving wife? Sorry–I’m done pretending.”
Arthur sneered.
“Wasn’t faking it in front of her your favorite game?”
That jab stung.
She used to play the part… because he never would. Now he used it to mock her.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the Silver Moon ancestral estate.

Chapter 23
As Cara walked across the lawn, she ran into Lillian–daughter of a Silver Moon elder and
Lucy’s close friend.
Lillian sneered.
“Cara. Still sucking up to Grandma? You think that’ll help you keep Arthur? Please. You’re nothing but a backwoods nobody who tricked your way into the Luna role when Lucy left. You never deserved him. Just sign the divorce and scram.”
Cara didn’t even glance her way.
She walked straight into the villa.
Inside, the old matriarch’s silver hair gleamed beneath the soft lights. She beamed when she saw Cara and grasped her hands warmly.

“My dear girl! Why haven’t you visited Grandma? Have you stopped missing me?”
This woman… was the only warmth Cara had ever felt in this family.
Cara hugged her gently.
“Of course I missed you.”
Arthur entered a moment later.
Cara slipped away.
“Grandma, you haven’t had your medicine soup lately. Let me prepare it for you.”
She headed to the kitchen.
Arthur sat down.
The old woman gave him a knowing look.
“Arthur… did you and Cára fight?”

“No.”
“Then why did she run off the moment you walked in? She never used to.”
She sighed.
“Arthur, don’t let Lucy blind you. When you became a vegetable three years ago, Lucy left. But Cara stayed. She married you. Took care of you. She even came here often to help me, even when she was struggling herself.”
“Without her, our Silver Moon Pack would’ve fallen apart.”
The old woman paused, then warned softly.
“She’s a good girl. But even good girls leave when they’ve been hurt enough. And once they
leave, they don’t come back.”
“Don’t wait until it’s too late.”
Arthur looked toward the kitchen.
Cara had tied her long black hair into a low ponytail, her swan–like neck exposed. Her profile was clean, beautiful.
The scent of her herbal brew drifted out–a familiar smell.
He realized… she had been the one feeding him those potions for
years.
During his coma, his consciousness remained awake.
He remembered soft hands that touched him gently.
He thought it was Lucy.
But when he woke up–it was Cara.
The old lady insisted they spend the night at the estate.

Arthur couldn’t say no.
He entered the guest room
Cara was seated at the desk, writing something. Cathy’s voice echoed from her phone.
“Cara! You’re getting divorced. Stop playing housemaid. I’ve got a lineup of hot Alphas ready to meet you. Get out of there and let me introduce your future harem!”
