Chapter 3

"I was just cleaning up my clothes." I lied.
I deliberately didn't want to tell Jason the truth. I wanted to surprise him. A surprise that would surely make him very happy. I was sure of it!
"Oh really? I thought you'd be upset about what happened earlier. Next time you shouldn't overreact in front of Grace. She's devastated right now and she needs me." Jason said without any guilt. He wasn't worried that his words would hurt my feelings.
"So?"
"Right now she's in front of the house. You'd better go to her and invite her in. She needs us right now."
My ears felt hot hearing that. Jason was really out of his mind for inviting that girl to stay in our mansion.
Without turning to him, I went to the bed and immediately lay down with my back to him.
"I'm so tired today. You take her in. I've also prepared dinner for her, as per your request."
"Really? Well, then I'll take Grace to dinner together. You are very understanding, Cassandra."
After saying that, I didn't hear any thanks from Jason. I only heard the sound of his footsteps moving away from the room. I heard the sound of the door closing loudly.
"Now I'm even more convinced that you chose Grace over me, Jason. If you love Grace, then why did you marry me in the first place?" I whimpered and started crying.
Memories of the past came back to my mind. How Jason used to always treat me romantically. He even tried hard to persuade me if I was angry. However, now all of that was just a memory.
My place in his heart has been replaced by Grace. I don't know!
Or maybe all this time it was me who was just a substitute for Grace. Could it be that Jason was mating with me just to make me escape from Grace?
"To hell with them! Whatever they want to do. I already don't care." Quickly, I hurriedly wiped away my tears.
I forced myself to close my eyes, even though I occasionally felt my eyes getting wet by themselves. However, I didn't want to linger in this sadness. I want to forget these bad memories, even if only for a moment.
After I forced myself to close my eyes, tonight I could finally rest and sleep peacefully after trying to release all the burdens in my heart. I don't care if Jason and Grace are making out in the mansion right now.
Yes, this is much better than before. By not thinking about them anymore, my heart feels much calmer now.

"How did you sleep last night, Grace? Did you sleep well?"
"I slept well and I feel much better here. Thank you, Jason."
"If you need anything, just call me or Cassandra. We'll always take care of you here."
I was just about to leave the room. However, I stopped in my tracks when I heard the conversation between Jason and Grace in front of the guest room not far from my room. I could even hear their conversation.
I slowly closed the door and decided not to go out. I sat on the bed, crying and contemplating. However, I wiped my tears away quickly. I am not a weak woman. I am strong!
"Cassandra, what are you doing? Why aren't you awake yet?"
I was startled and hurriedly turned my head towards the door. I saw Jason walk into the room and grab some of my clothes from the closet.
"Jason, what are you going to do with those clothes?" I stood up and walked over to him.
"Oh, these. I'm going to give them to Grace because she left them at her house."
"But they're my clothes!" I protested.
"Hey, Cassandra. You mustn't forget that you bought these clothes with my money. So I have the right to do whatever I want with them. You can't protest!"
Jason then went out of the room and again slammed the door very loudly. I stood up and was about to leave the room. However, Jason suddenly re-entered the room.
"Oh yeah, Cass. Grace said that she liked your cooking. You should cook some more and set it up on the dining room table. Maybe Grace and I will go out for a while to investigate about those Rogues who messed up."
I didn't answer at all, but Jason probably thought that I agreed. He walked out of the room, leaving me alone.
"Your heart is completely dead, Jason."

This afternoon, I decided to take a walk around the pack, and I promised that this would be the last time. At the training center, I saw young wolves being trained by Gamma. After the chaos caused by the Rogues, the pack did need young blood to strengthen the pack.
"I will miss this atmosphere very much. The members of this pack have been very kind to me. It's just that I can't be with a husband who doesn't even consider my existence. Haha, Jason probably thinks that I don't exist in the world." I laughed at myself for being so sick.
I entertained myself by meeting the omegas and chatting with them. I also met Delta and Beta who were practicing. Today I met all the pack members. Think of it as my way of saying goodbye to them.
After I had my fill of sightseeing this afternoon, I decided to head back home. But as I passed the guest room, my ears suddenly heard the sound of sighs and very spoiled laughter from inside there.
"Is that Jason and Grace's voice? What are they doing in there?”
