Chapter 76: Princess Jade!
Noah POV
My blood boiled with rage at Brooke’s outrageous demand. The audacity for her to look me right in the face and demand to come back into my life and not just that, asking that I make her my mistress.
"You must be delusional, Brooke and fucking bold to think I would ever entertain that idea," I growled with annoyance "I am a mated, married man whose loyalty belongs solely to my wife, Selene,".
"Oh please," she rolled her eyes dramatically "You and I know that we still have chemistry and what is this that I hear about Selene’s ex-husband being around plus how she doesn’t love you the way you do her? Sure, you can play the dutiful husband; charming, protective... but how long would you keep hiding Selene so she doesn’t meet up with her Ex? Isn’t it too stressful? Between us, we both know you crave something..." She paused and whispered the last word "More,".
Continuing, I watched helplessly, feeling Rio jump with delight as she slowly rolled her tongue across her full lips. "I’m offering you a way out. With me by your side, I promise, Princess Jade would be a forgotten matter. I have what it takes to get her off your back completely,".
I slammed my fist down on the desk, making Brooke jump. My eyes flashed with anger as I tried not to reach for her neck and pin her to the wall.
"How dare you disrespect, my wife and queen with such wicked insinuations and suggestions. Selene is my better half, my heart, my everything. I’d never so much as entertain the idea of betraying her,".
"Yet you cannot tell her about Princess Jade," She mocked "If you love her so much and you have such a great bond, what’s stopping you from telling her that you’ll be bringing in another woman soon? Are you scared that your precious mate bond will be severed?"
I rose from my chair, using every ounce of willpower to keep myself from laying hands on Brooke. When I spoke again, I could hardly recognize my voice. It was low and you could tell I was trying to control the anger I felt.
"I don’t know what is giving you the boldness that you’re currently displaying but don’t forget I am the king around here. So, that nonsense ends here and now. You will tell me everything you know about Princess Jade and in exchange, I’ll..."
Brooke threw her head backwards as her body shook with laughter. When she was spent, she dabbed at the corners of her eyes as she looked at me.
