Chapter 50 hapter 50 I slapped her. Once. Twice. A third time. Sharp, precise, and real. Ethan stepped in, grabbing my wrist. "Olivia, stop! What the hell are you doing?!" I yanked my arm back. "This is for lying. For sneaking around. For throwing yourself into a marriage that was never yours to begin with." "She's already on bail!" Ethan snapped. "What more do you want?" "To be treated like I'm not disposable!" I yelled. "You think I'll just sit and watch you two play victim while I take the fall for your damn choices?!" "She's not well," he muttered. And like right on cue, Chole slumped to the side, unconscious from the stress and the slap. Ethan caught her, arms trembling with rage. "Yes. Be her savior. Maybe I should faint next so you'll remember I'm your wife." He looked at me like I was the monster now. Chapter 50 He didn't say a word. Just picked her up and stormed off toward the crowd of people already parting like waves for his drama. I stood there in the wheelchair, surrounded by strangers, everyone whispering and staring. Alexander's POV From the backseat of the car, I watched the chaos unfold at the airport entrance. Olivia stood alone in her wheelchair, surrounded by whispers, clicks of phone cameras, and that insufferable tension that only public drama could stir. Ethan had already disappeared into the crowd with Chole in his arms like some tragic hero in a bad stage play. I expected Olivia to look shaken, maybe even humiliated after causing such a scene. But she didn't. She brushed her hair off her face, adjusted her posture in the wheelchair, and glanced around like a queen surveying her kingdom. Her chin was slightly lifted. Her eyes calm. Composed. There wasn't a single trace of panic in her body language. In fact... there was a faint trace of satisfaction on her lips. My brows furrowed. Chapter 50 "What is she... smiling about?" I muttered under my breath. Gai sat beside me, equally stunned. "She's not upset." "She should be," Mike said from the passenger seat. "That was brutal." "She looks like she knew exactly how this would go down," Gai added, pulling out his phone. "Also... you should see her latest post. Here-look." He angled the screen toward me. Olivia's most recent upload was still fresh. A photo with Ethan's silhouette in the background and a cheeky caption that said:"Trying to enjoy my post-trauma vacation... but some people just won't take a hint. Anyone know how to remove emotional parasites? Asking for a friend. #NotSoEx #StillObsessed #DramaFreePlease" My jaw tightened. So it wasn't just a coincidence. The timing, the setup, the performance in front of the crowd-she had baited Ethan and Chole perfectly. And made it public. "She posted this on the plane?" I asked. Gai nodded. "Right after Ethan followed her onboard like a lost mutt." I sat back, connecting the dots. Her behavior, her restraint, her outburst at the airport... Even Chole showing up now felt too convenient. I was beginning to understand what Olivia was Chapter 50 really up to. "Should we go help her?" Mike asked. "She's still sitting there alone." Gai agreed. "We can't leave her like that. You should go." I was about to open the door when someone else beat me to it. A woman in a tailored red dress-heels clicking, stride confident -appeared at the curb and made her way straight to Olivia. She looked like she belonged in a boardroom, not an airport pickup zone. Her long hair was tied in a tight braid, and her expression screamed competence and authority. "I think that's Olivia's friend she talked about," Mike pointed out. "I think so too," Gai murmured, narrowing his eyes. "Olivia seems to know her quite well." The woman bent down, said something quietly to Olivia, and Olivia chuckled before letting the woman help her into the back of a waiting car. No tension. No confusion. It was smooth. Effortless. Planned. I turned my werewolf hearing toward the car as the engine started. Their conversation slipped into range just enough to Chapter 50 catch it. "-Chole will definitely go crazy now. Once she finds out Ethan was on the plane and you were the one posting, she'll lose it again." "That's the point," Olivia replied, unbothered. "They want drama. I'll give them one they can't swallow." "You are a genius, Liv." "I don't know about being a genius. But I will make sure to return the favor." My jaw clenched as realization dawned. This wasn't Olivia acting out of emotion. She wasn't lashing out like some wronged, impulsive ex-wife. She was Strategic. Deliberate. And it turns out... she was using Chole, on purpose. Olivia's POV "Ava, would you stop turning your head like we're being hunted by a rogue pack?" I said dryly as she checked the rearview mirror for the fifth time in two minutes.
