The War God Alpha’s Arranged Bride Novel

---- Chapter 123 [Evelyn's POV] Oh my God... | cursed all the bad luck in the world that, for some reason, was determined to find me. Because what the actual hell was Alexander doing here?? He wasn't someone who came to the open market like this. He had a whole fleet of staff members to run all of the inconsequential errands so there was never any reason for him to be in such a place. So, why now? And why on earth did it have to be at the exact same time when Michael was standing no less than a foot away from me?

| almost didn't want to turn around for fear of finding the state in which Alexander was currently in. He was enraged. His tone of voice gave that away immediately. | just had to remind myself. | hadn't done anything wrong. Even though my nerves were coiled and strained with worrisome guilt, these were circumstances that were not in my control. | knew things were looking bad for me. He'd told me to stay away from his Stepbrother-an order that | had bluntly refused. ---- In reality, | had no desire or intention to seek Michael out.

Tuming around, | was met with a dangerously furious Alexander and a stern-looking Oliver. | fought to keep my resolve in place and treat this situation like there was nothing wrong. After all, we were in a public space where influxes of people were coming and going. Alexander, being a private person naturally, wasn't likely to cause a major scene. Right? "Alexander, what are you do-" "| told you. I told you that you were to not be around him," he snarled. "And you deliberately went against my request." | let out a cool breath. "It was hardly a request," | said calmly.

" You demanded that | stay away from Michael. You spoke down to me as though | were a child." "Based on your actions, clearly, you need to be treated like one," he said sharply. All the air was caught in my lungs. "I didn't want you to speak with him, let alone meet up with him." "Alexander-" "Do you think this is some kind of a game?!" he shouted angrily. My blood filled with ice as | gradually felt every pair of eyes turning to glance in my direction. My chest felt like it was ---- burning from the lack of oxygen that wasn't able to cycle through properly.

My hands curled into fists in order to hide the tremors that were running through me. | was mortified. "You deliberately went against my word and did this?!" | could barely speak. The words | wanted to say weren't able to make it out quickly enough. Alexander merely took the opportunity to come down even harder on me. "How many times have you been pulling this little stunt behind my back?" he questioned accusingly. "The whole 'don't worry, there's nothing going between me and Michael' was clearly nothing but a line of bullshit.

| should never have allowed you to even leave the manor, knowing that he was still on break." My anxieties were growing more and more with every degrading word that came out of his mouth. Alexander made this whole situation out as though Michael and | were having some twisted affair behind his back. My stomach chumed in knots, knowing that the crowd of spectators around us continued to grow. | tore my eyes from him to glare back at Oliver, who I'd hoped was able to see through the false scene his boss was creating on his own. But no.

The Beta stood there like a useless statue ---- while | was torn to pieces "You claim that you're not a child but, yet you insist on acting like one. Your disrespect and lack of regard for your actions leaves me no choice but to place you under house arrest until you can be trusted to act accordingly."
