Chapter 37
~Ivan’s POV~
Aaron nodded, clearly impressed. "And Clarissa? Is she still on board with the plan?"
I scoffed, leaning back in my chair. "Clarissa’s eager to see Zara fall. She tried to ruin Zara’s image with that hotel scandal, but it only backfired. But don’t worry. I’ll deal with her when the time comes. She knows I need Zara."
Just then, Clarissa walked up, her heels clicking against the floor as she approached us with a sly smile. "Hey, boys?"
I smiled, motioning for her to sit down. "Just discussing our little plan."
Clarissa’s eyes gleamed with excitement as she took a seat. "If it’s about Zara and what you did there, good. Because I have a few ideas of my own."
Aaron and I exchanged a glance, a bit intrigued by her cunny nature.
As soon as we finished the event, I immediately retired, visiting my parents’ home. Clarissa wanted to come with me, but given my affair with her cost me Zara, and my father’s anger towards it, I kicked against the idea.
Arriving home, my mom welcomed me with her usual kiss, but as soon as I stepped into the living room, where my father sat cross-legged, his focus on the television, my wolf stirred uneasily, sensing the shift in the atmosphere the moment I crossed the threshold.
