Alpha King’s pregnant Ex-Luna

Unexpectedly, several people blocked Desmond’s path the instant he whirled around. Desmond was promptly taken aback. What’s happening here? He turned back and pinned his eyes on the man. “What’s the meaning of this?” The man kept silent, a flash of helplessness flitting across his eyes.

Right then, a few men in police uniforms appeared behind him and cuffed him. Subsequently, Zeke and Nelly walked out. As soon as Desmond caught sight of them, understanding dawned upon him. Without delay, he made a run for it. Alas, he was pinned to the ground before he could get far. He struggled wildly. “Let go of me! What are the lot of you trying to do? What right do you have to arrest me? Let me go!”

Right that moment, Zeke walked up and stared down at him. “Desmond Lucas, you’re suspected of hiring a hitman to murder someone. We have the proof and witness, so please follow us back to assist in the investigation.” “I don’t know what you’re saying! Why are you accusing me of engaging the services of a hitman when I merely came to give him money? What proof do you have? Let go of me! Let go! Believe it when I say that I’ll sue you!”

Even then, Desmond continued resisting obstinately. At that exact moment, Nelly sauntered over and crouched on the ground to gaze at him indifferently. “Mr. Lucas, I have a piece of news to tell you.” Desmond said nothing, shooting daggers at her.

“Not only is Erin still alive, but she has even regained consciousness,” Nelly declared mildly.

Desmond’s face abruptly crumpled. Words eluded him. “Before there was any definite news, you already told the journalists that Erin had died, sparking public criticism. Do you think everyone is a fool?” Nelly queried. Desmond remained silent, his eyes fixated on her.

“It was you? You were the one who set a trap for me?” “It’s true that I set a trap for you, but wasn’t it your choice whether to fall into the trap?” “How dare you!” “Mr. Lucas, the truth will always come to light,” Nelly enunciated. Desmond looked into her eyes, gripped by the urge to rip her into a thousand pieces. “It was you! You sabotaged me! It was all you!” he screeched out of the blue. He struggled hard to break free and charge at her.

“Stay still!” The police officer held him down mercilessly. Right then, Zeke came over. “All right, take him away. We’ll interrogate him at the police station.” A few police officers in plain clothes seized Desmond and dragged him out.

As Nelly watched the man being led away, there wasn’t a hint of pity in her eyes. Some people ultimately give up the last shred of affection for the sake of their personal interests. Are they pitiful or pathetic? Zeke turned to look at Nelly as they walked out. “Thank you for your assistance this time, Ms. Jackson. I’m really grateful.”

With her face devoid of expression, Nelly inquired bluntly, “Now that the investigation has concluded, justice will be served to Morris Corporation, yes?” At the mention of that, Zeke chortled. “So, you did all this for Alpha Kilian’s sake?” Nelly’s gaze darkened a shade. “Everything happened because of me, and I was also the reason Morris Corporation was dragged into this mess. Thus, I can’t deny my responsibility in this matter!”

As Zeke listened, he nodded smilingly. Well, well, well… Young people like to say one thing when they mean the other. “It looks like Alpha Kilian made the right choice,” Zeke commented. Nelly frowned, but the man continued, “Don’t worry. When the investigation wraps up, the investigative result will be announced. At that time, the truth will come to light.” Only after hearing that did Nelly nod in acknowledgment. “Okay.”

Right then, a black car sped over. It drove all the way to them before stopping in front of them. Then, Alpha Kilian got out of the car. When Nelly saw him, her brows creased. Contrarily, a faint smile remained on Zeke’s face. “You came pretty quickly.” The moment Alpha Kilian spotted Nelly, he slammed the car door shut. He proceeded to stride over to her, his brows scrunched together deeply. Throughout it all, he appeared rather anxious. “Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?” he asked. His eyes roamed all over her body to ascertain that she didn’t sustain any injuries. Nelly didn’t bother about that. Instead, she questioned, “How did you know that I was here?”Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Just then, Zeke interjected from the side, “Oh, I was the one who told him. Before this operation, he gave me a call. After mulling it over, I thought I should tell him about this matter. Unexpectedly, he arrived in such a short time!” At those words, Alpha Kilian swung his gaze at the man. “Mr. Zeller, if anything had happened to Nelly, I would never have let you off the hook!” That was a half-truth, but it didn’t sound like a joke. “Did you hear that? This brat even wants to settle the score with me!” Zeke teased Nelly, smirking. Then, he turned to Alpha Kilian. “I don’t know what good deeds you’ve done in your previous life that you’re so blessed in this life. You’re even complaining here after benefiting from the matter. Fine, fine. I’m handing her back to you without a scratch. Don’t blame me anymore!”

Seeing that Nelly was fine, Alpha Kilian breathed a sigh of relief. Only God knew how he had made it there without running into an accident. “All right, I’ll leave you two to talk. I’ve still got something to do at the police station, so I’ll be leaving first.” After saying that, Zeke straightened his clothes and left.

When he was gone, Alpha Kilian’s gaze alighted on Nelly. His ebony eyes were unfathomable, and he stared at her lovingly. “I–” Before Nelly could even speak, Alpha Kilian pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly. At once, Nelly was startled. “Promise me to never do such a thing again in the future. It’s exceedingly dangerous. Compared to you, everything is insignificant!” Alpha Kilian asserted in a low voice that was also a touch hoarse.

“Actually… it wasn’t that dangerous,” Nelly protested. Only then did Alpha Kilian drop his hold on her. “You know that a person would do anything when backed into a corner. Weren’t you afraid that Desmond would do something to you?” “But he might not necessarily be my match.” “Were you hoping that he’d play by the rules with you?” Alpha Kilian queried.

Nelly pursed her lips, her brows knitting together. “According to my plan, there shouldn’t be any incidents.” Looking at her, Alpha Kilian sighed in exasperation. “Incidents are something you can never predict.” Indeed, Nelly couldn’t deny that. Alpha Kilian continued gazing at her with undercurrents in his eyes.

“Fortunately, nothing happened to you.” His voice was hoarse. The emotion he expressed was too straightforward and intense that Nelly didn’t know what to say. Alpha Kilian suddenly drew close to her, his low voice rising imperceptibly. “Also, weren’t you afraid I’d become full of myself when you did all this for me?” Become full of himself? Nelly eyed him in puzzlement. “Do you love me now, Nelly?” Alpha Kilian asked with his eyes radiating intense hope. Otherwise, why would she take such a risk for me and do such a thing? His gaze was so intense that it could seemingly scorch someone. At a loss for words, Nelly instinctively averted her gaze. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” “You do,” Alpha Kilian maintained. The look in his eyes as he stared at her seemingly allowed her no escape.
