My Alpha: Just Divorced, The Millionaire Seduced Me into MarriageUpdated at Nov 4, 2024, 06:35
Stella, a bright and captivating financial reporter; Asher, a wealthy and aloof alpha who kept his desires in check.
......
For three years, every time the estrus period, she pleaded with him, hoping one day he would turn to her instead of away. She believed that her persistence would win his heart and secure his lasting mark on her. But when her mate, Nathan's first love, Grace, re-entered his life, Stella’s world shattered. The photos of them together left her heartbroken, and she realized her years of devotion had been in vain.
"Stella, your Miller family has been bankrupt for ages, yet you still act like a wealthy heiress," her mother-in-law scolded. "Does my brother even look at you like that? He’s never marked you in our three years of marriage!" her sister-in-law mocked.
Stella felt crushed, as if everyone justified her husband's betrayal. She had done nothing wrong, yet she bore the deepest wounds. It dawned on her that her biggest mistake was marrying this unfeeling man. When she finally decided to file for divorce, Nathan’s impatience flared. "Stella, don’t play hard to get. I’ve treated you well enough," he snapped. She scoffed, "You really don’t want to let go, do you?"
After receiving the court's ruling, a wave of relief washed over her, making the air feel revitalized, as if she were reborn. "Leave me, and you’ll regret it!" Nathan stormed out, his harsh words hanging in the air, but Stella didn’t even glance his way. Just as everyone expected her to crumble, Asher stepped in, enveloping her in his embrace with tear-filled eyes, murmuring, "Honey, I love you. Will you marry me?"
The crowd was taken aback. How could the reserved and wealthy Alpha, Asher propose to a divorced woman? Only Asher knew he had been waiting for this moment for twelve long years.
