154 –My Husband Is Busy With His Sidechick
Madeline:
After that, I went ahead and emailed Sawyer about all my problems.
I wrote about everything that was happening here, and I expected him to at least pay attention to me tonight and set aside his fun for a few hours.
However, I did not receive an email from him, so I already understood he had gotten busy with her.
I shut my laptop and grunted under my breath before lying down and letting myself drift off.
It was not easy for me, because knowing everything Sawyer had been doing and the deal we had made, I knew I should not be angry with him.
But for some reason, I was.
After two hours of rest, I woke up again, and something urged me to check my laptop.
So I did, and sure enough, there was an email from Sawyer waiting for me.
I checked his email because I was hoping he would have some good advice for me.
But what I found next left me frozen. It was an email from him, and the subject line was already upsetting and disappointing.
‘Permission to marry one of the alphas p>
That was the subject.
“Okay, well, you can marry any one of them. Just make sure you do not give him the part of you that is supposed to be mine. You know which one it is. The rest is up to you. It is not like I am not sharing a bed with someone p>
I kept staring at the email. It felt humiliating and insulting, especially the way he spoke about my body.
My fingers began to itch with the urge to respond and say something back.
But I held myself still. If he was trying to provoke me, I would not let him know he had managed to hurt me or make me jealous.
Then another email arrived, and that was where he drew the line.
“And if you cannot bring yourself to marry someone else, then here are the pictures of me and Nina’s night together p>
There were photos attached, intimate ones of him with Nina, the kind that left nothing to question.
The two of them close together in bed, naked, kissing and in compromised positions.
One photo showed Nina with her face pressed into a pillow while he was behind her, fucking her.
None of it needed explanation.
I did not know why they recorded those moments or who had taken the pictures for them.
But it proved that I had been thinking about loyalty for the wrong reasons and for the wrong person.
Until now, I knew they were involved in very hardcore things, but watching it was something I should never have

dealt with.
Now the images were stuck in my head. I shut the laptop and looked at my daughter, Elara.
Why had I even waited for his permission in the first place?
It was not like I planned to return to the human world.
And if he came here and tried anything, he would have to face the council.
So why was I scared of his reaction? It was definitely not out of love because there was no love or loyalty between
I groaned at myself for my foolishness, for giving him so much control over my life.
Then I decided I would do it to keep my children close to me.
I set the laptop aside and lay down with my daughter, closing my eyes and falling asleep peacefully.
I woke early in the morning when Elara stirred, but I settled her back to sleep.
I stepped out, got dressed, took a shower, and then returned to wake her.
I had to prepare breakfast and everything else for the day on my own.
When I walked out of the room, my two children were already on the couch.
I noticed Elgin on a separate couch using his phone. Bodhi and Gina looked sad as they stared at the television.
Once their eyes landed on me, they stood to run toward me, but stopped when they saw Elara.
“Elara, good morning,” Elgin called, gesturing for her to come to him p>
She hurried to him happily, while Bodhi and Gina came to me instead.
“Mommy, why do you only sleep with her? Do you love her more?” Bodhi whispered as I knelt in front of my children.
“No, I love you all equally,” I replied, gently patting his cheek while my gaze lingered on Elgin, who was fixing Elara’s hair. “I am only keeping her with me so you stop being scared of her p>
“Now, what do you say we go for breakfast?” Elgin asked Elara, and she nodded happily.
I suddenly felt conflicted. I knew last night I had made up my mind to marry one of the alphas, but seeing how Elgin behaved toward the children put me in a difficult position.
I could clearly tell he had no affection for Bodhi and Gina and only showed it toward Elara now. That could not be good.
The two were already being left out, and Elgin acting this way only made it worse,
I could tell that since he woke up, he had not spoken to Bodhi or Gina at all.
“ I’ll prepare breakfast for all three of them,” I told him, letting him know I was not taking my kids anywhere right now.
“Okay, I’ll help,” Elgin offered, but a knock on the door pulled our attention away.
I stepped forward to open it, and the moment I did, I came face to face with a woman I did not like, Silver.
