Chapter 83: Ray?
"Betray me?" Mia echoed in shock, but before she could step aside, the bouquet struck her harshly, drawing a startled yelp from her lips.
"I am not cheating on you, Laura. Please, calm yourself," Klaus implored, moving to stand beside the furious woman. He reached for her hands in an attempt to soothe her, but Laura wrenched them free and stormed toward Mia.
Without warning, she seized Mia’s hair, yanking it mercilessly.
"Ahh! What are you doing?!" Mia cried out, thrashing against Laura’s grip, panic rising as she struggled to break free.
"He is my mate! How dare you try to seduce him, you harlot?" Laura snarled, her voice trembling with rage. "I will strip you bare before everyone here today, I swear it!" She dragged Mia down from the couch, her hold like iron.
"Laura, release her at once!" Klaus commanded, stepping forward to grab her arm. Yet Laura’s fury made her nearly unyielding. She flung his hand aside with surprising strength, her focus fixed solely on Mia.
"Mate? How can that be? Klaus has no mate, at least, not that I have ever heard of!" Mia managed to gasp out as she continued struggling, but Laura only tightened her grip.
"Liar!" Laura spat venomously. "Everyone in this estate knows we are mated! Or is it that you plan to carry his child and steal him from me?" Her voice rose as her accusations grew sharper, her grip on Mia’s hair unrelenting.
"Laura, I beg you, let her go," Klaus pleaded, his tone filled with regret. Inwardly, he cursed himself for losing control earlier. He should have restrained his emotions and rejected Mia gently. Now, his actions had thrown her into an avoidable storm.
