Chapter 688

Rosetta:

I have met and helped countless people in my life.

And technically, I wasn’t helping Karla.

I was helping her sacrifice herself for Yuvonne, and I didn’t need to tell her that I wasn’t a hero.

Not at all.

I have asked her to help one of my maids to shapeshift into herself and make people believe she was Yuvonne’s mother.

Sadly, my maid had to act rude and tough towards Madeline or else Lady Eugenia would have never believed it was truly her.

Things turned grim when my maid was offered an amount by lady Eugenia for turning everyone against Madeline.

And well, I have seen people change for money.

My maid did too.

She was now living with some old man, still stuck in Karla’s shape because Karla died to help her out.

I wasn’t Madeline either, the kind of person who could never do wrong.

That was exactly why people treated her so badly.

I had survived for this long because I was willing to sabotage bad people.

Well, only the bad people.

And Yuvonne’s mother, sadly, would never have backed down from hurting Madeline.

But this man in front of me was getting on my last nerve.

The way he kept talking about me licking his neck, he made it sound so sexual that even I was starting to feel guilty.

Little did he know, my saliva could heal a fucking moron like him.

And well, guess what?

He made my entire personality crack.

I always kept my calm. I acted gently and differently from most people.

But this man standing in front of me made me lose my mind.

“So why am I here?” he asked again.

My fists clenched even harder.

“Madeline brought you here for treatment,” I finally responded.

Maybe if I told him the truth, he would finally shut the fuck up.

“Why?” he yelled. “And where is she? Did you do something to her?”

Oh wow.

He cared about her that much.

I already knew that.

It was a good thing, but he was obnoxiously rude, and I couldn’t tolerate a man this

loud in my mansion, especially when every floor held secrets.

“Alpha Byron, you were dying, so Madeline brought you here.”

Once again, I was trying my best to keep my calm and explain things properly.

I realized he might just be in shock, so maybe I should be more understanding.

But no.

He proved me wrong with his next response.

“And you decided to lick me?” he demanded. “The fuck? I know I’m fucking sexy and hot, but that doesn’t mean you can ignore my consent and start licking me all over my body.”

I quickly walked over to the door and slammed it shut.

Even though nobody else was in the basement, his words made me feel strangely bashful.

“I was not licking you everywhere,” I hissed at him.

He rolled his eyes before raising his brow.

“That is a bigger lie than anything else. I felt you. You were holding onto me. Then

your hand slithered across my chest.”

As he spoke, goosebumps spread across my skin.

What the fuck was wrong with this man?

“You know what? I should have let you die,” I snapped, stomping my foot.

Then I turned around to leave. He had really gotten on my nerves.

“Okay, fine. I was just annoying you.”

The moment he admitted it, my head snapped back toward him. jaw

stared at his face

He gave me a silly grin.

“Thank you, then,” he uttered.

I straightened my back and folded my arms across my chest once more, deliberately

looking away.

“You know, you look weirdly similar to someone.”

The moment he said it, I knew he was starting to notice.

Of course he was.

He was in love with Madeline. He would notice.

“And well, do you know that I can tell you’re chasing a forbidden fruit?” I taunted

back.

“Hey! I said I was joking. You don’t have to be mean to me,” he groaned, making me stare at him in disbelief.

I had heard about Alpha Byron. His reputation preceded him.

However, I hadn’t known he could be charming too.

I mean, looks-wise, he was incredibly handsome.

That much was obvious. But he was also entertaining.

One could never predict what he would say next.

And that made me feel very strange.

Because why the fuck was I even noticing him?

“Anyway, I would appreciate it if you didn’t make so much noise.”

As I started explaining things to him again, he shocked me with his response.

“Why? Do you have other people tied to their beds too?” he asked, raising an eyebrow.

“Hey, I was trying to help you,” I shot back, mimicking his tone and repeating his own words from earlier.

He rolled his eyes at me.

“Anyway, you can leave me untied

won’t attack you, and I won’t try to run away. But I’m a free man, right?” he said, holding my gaze as he he seed howard the sandcuffe pointed

the

“No,” I replied.

I watched his jaw clench.

“Ah, I get it,” he mumbled.

“What?” I snapped.

“You really want to lick me some more.”

The moment he said that, I realized I couldn’t deal with him right now.

Was he like this with everyone?

Of course he couldn’t be like that with Madeline. She would have slapped the fuck

out of him.

But why was he like this with me?

Yuvonne had told me about him, and according to her, he was very respectful.

Then why the fuck was he acting like this?

Was he flirting with me?

I didn’t know.

I turned around to leave, and I heard him groan again.

“I’m sorry.don’t usually find people attractive, and I don’t flirt with or

tease anyone anymore

in love as you already knowhe began to explain

He was surprisingly open about it too.

“So I don’t know why I’m teasing you. Maybe because—”

He paused, and I slowly turned to look at him.

“You look oddly similar to Madeline.”

The moment those words left his mouth, goosebumps prickled all over my skin.
