Chapter 15 Hestial Is it true ? The news about Lucian Ducani , the alpha of the Duncan packs marriage is about to come to an end .
It is said that his wife , Hestia Ducani , has filed for divorce , while Lucian Ducani was seen dating the daughter of a wealthy businessman .
} Thats what greeted me the next morning , right on the hotel TV I was staying at .
My face turned sour at the sight of Lucian , letting a woman pull him into a kiss on the cheek .
I know its not him who initiated that .
Lucian , when he wants to kiss someone , keeps his hand firmly on the waist to ensure the kiss stays in place .
He was like that with me , and even when he was drunk and mistook Chesca for Beverly , he behaved the same way .
But this woman is different .
However , in some other photos , it seems like they didnt just have a short conversation .
There were many shots .
One even showed them leaving a party , both holding wine glasses , and it looked like they were planning to talk outside , or perhaps they had other places to go .
Pretending not to want the divorce … I whispered .
And then having to spend his whole night with another woman .
If I knew it right , he must be so happy .
Lucian is known to be a womanizer before my sister .
Maybe he stopped because he couldnt risk ruining his image now that hes an alpha .
He has something to protect , and another reason could be that divorce is forbidden in their family .
If only I knew , if he can cheat with any woman , he would .

Hes just being cautious ! Hed lose everything if he tries to , though .
But now , maybe he thinks he doesnt to stop me from divorcing him .
Maybe hes seeing it as an opportunity now .
At least , Im not foolish enough to go back just because he asked .
That would be a huge mistake if I returned , not because I wanted to , but because they wanted it .
Because they asked for it and I am weak .
I would have no one to blame but myself if I go back there and theres no change in how they will treat me .
Lucian Did Mom see the news ? I heard Lorde murmur while looking at his tablet .
}] We were eating breakfast with Beverly when he saw the pictures released by the press .
Dont worry .
Im sure those pictures dont mean anything , Beverly said , smiling at my son , but it was forced .
Right , Lucian ? } I didnt bother answering her .
What she said was for her own peace of mind , not for Hestias .
Shes the one who wants to believe it means nothing .
Well , indeed , it means nothing .
We just had a conversation with Katrina .
Shes a philanthropist who always wanted to help with the charity I founded two years ago .
Actually , it was Hestia who founded and managed it .
She just didnt want her name attached to it because she didnt want attention or press .

She likes to help that charity .
We didnt discuss anything else , nor did Katrina show any ulterior motives .
} But the pictures posted by the press somehow suggest something else .
I know because my mother and Hestias stepmother have already called me about it , and no matter how much I deny it , no one will believe me .
Maybe unless they see Hestia with Katrina , they wont believe that the woman will never be the reason for this marriage truly ending .
Dad , what if Mommy sees that ? Lorde asked again .
Shes not insecure , I told him to calm his nerves .
山 But Lorde started fidgeting with his hands , stopped eating , and shakily drank his juice .
} Lorde , your mother wont be bothered by that news .
I added .
I knew he was worried about her , no matter how much he tried to hide it .
But everyone thinks youre having an affair , he insisted , his tone now angry .
I dont like that woman ! You should have brought Aunt angry Beverly last night so no one would try to flirt with you ! I stopped eating to breathe and prepare my damn explanation for that .
Hes more jealous of Hestia than she is .
Damn it ! My son is still on her side no matter what .
She wants to help your Mommy with her charity case .
Ill have Katrina meet her , dont worry .
Lorde gave me a doubtful look .

He didnt say anything but quickly left the dining table , not touching his food and even leaving his tablet behind .
He stormed out .
Thinking hes sulking , I planned to check on his room before leaving for court , but I met What is that ? I asked , referring to the overly designed paper bags in his hands .
Lorde asked me to send this to Luna Hestias place , he replied .
But look , Alpha .
my butler .
He showed me the note on the paper bag .
My eyes widened at that .
He didnt put his name as the sender .
He used yours , he said , chuckling .
I rubbed my jaw and couldnt decide whether I should let my pride accept the fact that the gifts Lorde bought for his mother were being sent using my name .
But I remembered my friends suggestion .
Hestias not jealous , of course .
I can see that .
She didnt message me about the photos .
Maybe … a gift would work ?! I sighed .
Buy some flowers and chocolates too .
And her favorite steak , I mumbled , accepting defeat and eating my damn pride .
