Fake Mate Beta Rises to Alpha Heiress novel

Chapter 83 Any Special Occasion Tomorrow? Chapter 83 Any Special Occasion Tomorrow? Natalie's POV: A 31 +20 Free Coins "Hey, when will we sign the share transfer agreement?" I interrupted him before his sickly sweet words could get any more unbearable. Landon frowned, clearly irritated. "When do you propose?" "Next Monday. I'll tell you the exact time after I've sorted everything out." With that, I turned to leave. However, he blocked my path. "Natalie, what on earth have you been up to recently? I can hardly reach you. Are you sure you're okay on your own out there?

When can you come back home with me?" He still put on that lovesick act, as if he couldn't survive without me. I was over the charade. "Can't I have my own life? Do I have to revolve around you and Thorn Pack? I'm doing just fine alone. Leave me alone if there's nothing important." Landon continued, "Natalie, I know I messed up. I understand you need some space after two years of marriage. But you know I can't live without you. I've missed you so much these days..." He still thought I was just throwing a fit, spouting that nauseating "I miss you" nonsense.

Just then, there was a stir and gasps inside the store-Aaliyah had passed out! At the sight of Aaliyah in distress, Landon's face instantly turned pale. It was an instinctive reaction. He pushed through the crowd and scooped up the pale-faced Aaliyah in his arms. His voice was filled with genuine panic and concern. "Aaliyah!" Landon called her name, and without even a glance at me, he carried her and rushed towards the garage, disappearing from my sight, holding her as if she were the most precious thing in the world.

I stared in the direction where they disappeared, my heart as cold and composed as ice. See, this was the so-called mate who claimed he couldn't live without me. He couldn't even finish the act before running off to console his lover. Watching Landon dash out with Aaliyah in his arms without sparing me a single look, I felt a cold sense of absurdity. True feelings couldn't be faked. After ten years of connection and six years of deception, it was obvious where his heart belonged. What bad luck running into them today.

The lingering smell of their intertwined pheromones 1/3 19:13 Mon, Dec 8 Chapter 83 Any Special Occasion Tomorrow? in the air even after they left made me feel sick. 31 +20 Free Coins When I got home that evening, I took out the pair of carefully-chosen sapphire cufflinks and admired them under the light. The deep, ocean-blue color was so serene yet mysterious, just like Leonardo. A sense of anticipation welled up within me, and I dialed his number. "What's going on?" His voice came through promptly, as steady as always.

But maybe it was just my imagination; there seemed to be less coldness in his voice tonight, and a hint of tenderness? A deep, soul-stirring timbre. "Um, I was just wondering if you're available for dinner tomorrow, Mr. Sanchez?" I tried to sound as casual as possible. There was a brief silence on the other end. I could imagine Aaron scrambling to hand him the packed schedule. "Yeah, I'm available." His answer was direct, without a hint of hesitation. "Really?" I was pleasantly surprised. I thought he'd reject me. "Great, I'll book a restaurant then. It's my treat.

I'll send you the address later." "Sure." Leonardo's gentle reply made my heart flutter. After hanging up, I couldn't help but smile. Maybe this marriage of convenience wasn't as cold as I'd assumed. Leonardo's POV: A call from Natalie caught me off guard in a pleasant way. She wanted to take me out for dinner tomorrow and asked if I was up for it. I took a quick look at the schedule Aaron passed me. Tomorrow was jam-packed with meetings. But I didn't hesitate for a second and told her I was available. Once I hung up, a big smile spread across my face. "Mr.

Sanchez, those appointments tomorrow are important," Aaron tried to remind me. "Any special occasion tomorrow?" I brushed off his warning and shot back with a question. "Tomorrow..." Aaron paused, then whipped out his phone. "Oh, Mr. Sanchez, it's Valentine's Day! Got it. Ms. Anderson wants to spend Valentine's Day 2/3 19:13 Mon, Dec 8 : Chapter 83 Any Special Occasion Tomorrow? with you!" he said, as if just waking up to the fact himself. Valentine's Day? B 31 +20 Free Coins Grandma bugged me this morning to invite Natalie over for dinner tomorrow.

She said it was a big deal and I should get Natalie a gift. I was in such a rush to leave that I didn't ask more. Now that I had a breather. If Natalie hadn't called, I'd have checked what was up tomorrow and planned accordingly. But she beat me to it. Was she always thinking about me? Aaliyah's POV: After the hospital visit, Landon drove me home. I was lying on the couch, still feeling woozy. The scene in the store kept replaying in my head like a bad movie. That bitch Natalie! How could she treat me like dirt? And Landon was so nice to her! I was so mad I could barely stand it.

I even thought about killing myself. But thank goodness, Landon still cared about me most. When I fainted, he dropped everything and took me to the hospital. I fainted partly because I was absolutely furious, and partly because I did it on purpose. I couldn't stand by and let Landon keep his focus on Natalie any longer! I had to make him feel heart-wrenching concern and be consumed by guilt! 19:13 Mon, Dec 8 admin
