Chapter 134:
I drew a slow breath and stepped toward her. “Ivy, if you’re really that certain you can make Ethan choose you, then why do you keep posting about him and showing off every single day just to provoke me? If he really loved you, you wouldn’t have to try this hard.”
The smile on Ivy’s face stiffened. “What would you know? Ethan loves me!” she shrieked, her voice already losing control.
“Is that so?” I said with a mocking laugh. “But he said the two of you never even slept together. If he had loved you that intensely, there would’ve been no reason for him to hold back.”
I watched Ivy’s face go from red to deathly pale, and at last, I felt a flicker of satisfaction.
“You’re lying! You slept your way up, you shameless bitch!” She lifted her hand to strike me.
I grabbed her wrist and looked at her coldly. “But I won, didn’t I? I’m his one true fated mate. No matter how much he dotes on you, you will never be more than a mistress.”
Ivy was shaking with fury. She yanked her hand back and, with trembling fingers, dialed Ethan’s number, turning on speakerphone.
He answered almost at once, and his low, captivating voice sounded from the phone. “Hello?”
“Ethan…” Ivy’s voice immediately turned soft and delicate, tinged with a trace of tears. “Are you busy? I’m exhausted from filming today. Can you come see me? I miss you.”

There was a short pause on the other end before he answered, “Alright, I’ll come over when I’m done here. Wait for me.”
After ending the call, Ivy shot me a provocative look, her eyes brimming with self-satisfied triumph. “Did you hear that? The moment I say the word, he’ll come running. You think you’ve already won? I’m telling you, Ethan is still going to spend my birthday with me this year, just like he does every year.”
A sharp ache stabbed through my chest, and I could barely catch my breath.
Every year…
My thoughts drifted back over the last three years. Whenever that day came, Ethan would always say he had work or pack matters to handle and stay out the entire night.
I had foolishly believed he was genuinely busy. I had even left a light on for him late into the night.
So on those long, lonely nights, he had actually been with Ivy, celebrating her birthday.
The truth cut into me, and the pain clung stubbornly, impossible to shake off.
I swallowed down the turmoil in my chest and went back to the set.
Before long, a commotion broke out at the entrance.
“Wow, the Alpha came to the set!”
“Oh my God, he’s even buying drinks for everyone. He really dotes on Ivy!”
I lifted my eyes and saw Ethan walking into the studio in a dark charcoal suit, surrounded by a crowd.
At his side was Ivy, smiling brightly and dressed to draw attention, her arm threaded through his as she leaned against his shoulder.
The display was so shameless it was almost impossible to watch.
At that moment, a warm hand settled gently on my shoulder.
I turned and saw Frank looking at me with concern.
