Chapter 57
Chapter 57:
“Where is he?” he asked, setting down the paper in his hand. His expression darkened, and my heart skipped a beat. I really didn’t want anyone to find out that I had actually stabbed him to death while trying to cover a crime.
Luna Vivienne glanced at me briefly, signaling for me to speak, but I had no idea what to say.
“Sheela is in the best position to explain what happened to him,” she said, her gaze still fixed on me.
“Since when does Sheela have to explain Adrian’s whereabouts? Are they moving together now?” he asked, looking surprised.
“I had no idea you had become this impatient as you grew older,” Luna Vivienne said with a cheerful smile. “I told you not to ask her. The least you could have done is listen to your mother first p>
“Alright, Miss Sheela, where is Gamma Adrian? If you can contact him, please do and tell him I need to see him immediately,” he said.
“Actually, my Lord, I don’t know where he is p>
“The truth is… a few days ago, he tried to force himself on me. If not for Luna Vivienne’s intervention, he would have succeeded p>
“He came to my room that afternoon while I was fast asleep. I felt his disgusting hands on my body, and thank goodness for Luna’s timely intervention—he fled the mansion that very day p>
“I just hope he doesn’t show up when I least expect it and try to have his way with me. He still hasn’t been found, and even after a thorough search, the guards couldn’t locate him,” I said, wiping away my fake tears.
“Have some guards stationed outside her door to protect her. He might really come back to finish what he started,” Christian said, making my heart skip a beat.
Alpha Christian believed my story, and he cared about me. Today was a day I would never forget.

“I’m glad you truly care about her. You have no idea how happy I am right now,” Luna Vivienne said, grinning.
“It’s only natural for me to care about your guest. As long as she’s in this mansion, she needs to be protected. She is a guest, after all, and we must ensure she returns to her father unharmed,” he said, making the smile on my face fade.
Did he just refer to me as a guest? Or are my ears deceiving me?
“Why would you call her a guest, Christian? She is your future wife and the mother of your children. She isn’t just a guest in this mansion,” Luna Vivienne said, coming to my defense.
Christian smiled slightly before turning to his mother.
“I don’t recall proposing to her, Mom. The last time I checked p>
“You brought her here yourself. You personally gave her a room and an unknown title. I’m not engaged yet, Mom, and even if I wanted to be, it wouldn’t be to her p>
“So if she isn’t your guest, then she should return to her father’s house. Because as far as I’m concerned, she is a guest, and that’s exactly why she’s always following you, always by your side wherever you go,” he said with a smirk.
Does Christian take some kind of twisted pleasure in seeing me miserable? I guess that must be the case, because he wouldn’t be this cruel if he had nothing to gain from hurtful words. “l cant believe you also see me as a guest.”l said walking out of the room feeling hurt.
