Chapter 57

Isaac's POV

Leaving the pack always reminded me of the past. My team and I fought with all kinds of people in this kind of place to survive. Now I am a pack Alpha, but the impact this place gave me didn't change. Fiona thought that she would be safe if she didn't tell me the name of that medicine dealer. But in those two years, I had already learned everything about the black market.

I took her to meet the medicine dealer. When he saw me, he turned and ran, but my men had already stood behind him and blocked him.

"Why are you running?" I asked the drug dealer.

He directly knelt on the ground. "I'm sorry! Alpha, I don't know who Fiona's medicine is for. Otherwise, how could I sell it to her?"

"You know who I am?" He called me Alpha, but I had only been Alpha for a short time.

"Everyone in the black market knows! The recent news about you, everybody knew it two days ago." The medicine dealer's tone was very exaggerated.

"Know about what?"

"About you killing all the rouge groups in the east alone!" He swallowed his saliva and continued, "The boss of that group of rouges is a real monster. I heard that he can crush people's skulls with his bare hands. But he has been killed by you."

"So you also know who the medicine is for?"

"I didn't know! I could swear to Moon Goddess. After the news spread, I knew that Luna was a witch. I was always worried that you would come." The medicine dealer glared at Fiona when he said this.

"I'm not here to punish you. I need you to do something for me."

"Sure! As long as I can do it!" The drug dealer lowered his head and touched the ground.

I pushed Fiona, who was tied up, in front of him. "Your friend likes to be with rouge very much. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand! I will find the most" suitable "rouge group for her." As he spoke, he kicked Fiona hard. Fiona made a muffled sound with cloth in her mouth .

"And, send her away. I don't want to see her face again."

"I promise you with my life that you will never see her again."

"Very well, and the medicine against witches..." I looked at him meanfully.

"I threw it away long ago!" The medicine dealer's sweat flowed down his face. "No one in the black market would dare to produce this medicine."

"You have saved your life. Be grateful to fate." When I left, I heard the sound of medicine dealer collapsed on the ground.

Claudia's POV

Isaac has been busy with something I don't know recently. I don't want to read his mind. I promised him that I would trust him forever. But he was always absent-minded when facing me. I don't know what happened between us.

"If you want to know so much, just ask him directly." Toby was impatient with me for the first time. Perhaps it was because I had been complaining to him, or simply because he didn't want to hear about Isaac.

"What if he has been working all the time? I don't want him to think I am a suspicious person."

"You are now." Toby's eyes never left the dessert in front of him.

"I mean it. He has been a little cold to me recently."

"Although I hate him very much, I don't think he will be disloyal to you. He never looks at others with any emotions, except you."

"Is that so?" I didn't pay much attention to the look in Isaac's eyes when he looked at others.

"You didn't notice? He looked at us like he was looking at a potato."

Toby's description made me laugh. "You are the most handsome one among the potatoes."

Toby rolled his eyes. "Why should I try to comfort you?"

"I don't doubt his loyalty. He has been very strange to me recently. I want to know the reason."

"If you want to know what he's doing, follow him." Toby chewed the cake in his mouth.

"I don't think it's a good idea." I actually thought about it, but it's not very good.

"So you're bothering me here?"

"Come on, you aren't doing anything serious even if I am not here." I pointed to the desserts in front of him.

"No, but don't let me follow Isaac with you."

"Please." I put my hands together and looked at him pitifully.

"I won't follow a Alpha unless I am crazy. He will find out."

"I have an idea. Help me. I will buy all your afternoon tea in the future."

"Okay, okay, just once. This is not for the afternoon tea. I just hope you can be at ease."

"Thank you." I gave Toby a grateful hug.

Toby and I used a drug to cover up the smell, hoping that it could deceive Caesar's nose. Isaac was going out before I woke up. He left a kiss on my face.

I hugged his waist and refused to let him leave. "Stay with me for a while longer."

"Sorry, I can't do it now. I'll come back to accompany you tonight." Isaac pulled my hand away and left the house. He was different from before. I rarely acted like a spoiled child to him. Now he didn't care about me at all. The sense of loss in my heart slowly spread.

"He went out." I contacted Toby.

"I know. I'm staring at him now!" It was Toby's voice on the other side of the earphone. "Jesus, why did I promise you to do this?"

"Because you are curious too. Well, keep staring. I'll come to you immediately."

Isaac had been staying in the office this morning, and many acquaintances entered his office. Some of them stayed for a while before leaving, and there were also the commanders who were dissatisfied with Isaac. They were still cursing when they came out of Isaac's office. But I really wanted to tell them that Isaac could hear them from the other side of the door, but he didn't fuss over it. Isaac was really busy, and I felt a little disgusted with my behavior.

I said to Toby when it was almost noon, "Let's go."

"Finally, I'm going to be moldy."

When we were about to leave, Toby stopped me. Isaac came out of the office. He didn't take anyone with him. Toby signaled me to follow him, but I had already planned to go home.

"We've already followed him here. Let's continue." Toby stared at Isaac.

"Sometimes I wonder if you like Isaac." I teased him.

"Don't disgust me. Where do you think he is sneaking off to?"

"He didn't sneak around, and why did he tell me about it?"

"So, this is the loophole. He wants to go to a place you don't know." Toby lowered his voice.

"Okay," I was persuaded by Toby's deliberately mystifying tone.

We followed Isaac to a beautiful greenhouse. As soon as Isaac entered, a girl came out to greet him. The girl looked like the owner of the greenhouse. She chatted with Isaac, and Isaac revealed a happy expression. I suddenly panicked. I had never heard that Isaac had such a friend. He rarely relaxed in front of outsiders, and he even had a good-looking smile on his face.

I was sure that my expression was terrible. Toby looked at me and said, "This doesn't mean anything. Maybe Isaac is going to buy you flowers."

I didn't say a word and continued to look at Isaac and the girl. The girl looked about the same age as us. Although she was not beautiful, she was cute. And a girl who ran a greenhouse should be able to attract a lot of attention. Isaac and her walked into the greenhouse and looked at each other. The girl seemed to be introducing all kinds of flowers to him. After a while, they stopped. The girl smiled and said something to Isaac. Isaac is actually a little shy. I have rarely seen this expression of his.

Then I saw Isaac take out a small square box from his clothes. He smiled and opened the box to the girl. The diamond ring in the box emitted a dazzling light.

My heart had sunk to the stomach. The scene of Isaac holding Fiona appeared in my mind again. I knew that it was all fake. I knew how much Isaac hated her, but everything in front of me reminded me of my bad memories.

When I back to senses, I had already run to the road. Toby was chasing me behind. My hand was shaking. The scene just now was like a ghost chasing me.

Toby panted and pulled me. "Why don't you go and ask?"

"What's the point? You saw it too." I didn't want to tell him how badly I had been hurt the last time I wanted to ask.

"They aren't doing anything. Isaac only showed her a ring and didn't give it to her."

"It's a diamond ring!" I shouted to Toby. Isaac didn't give me a diamond ring, but I didn't care about it before. We were too busy at that time, and so many things happened after that. I put the diamond ring and wedding in our future plans. But now, he doesn't intend to give me this ring.

Toby understood what I meant. "I'll send you home first. It's better for you to ask him about it."

I had been waiting at home for Isaac to come back. My mind was in a mess. The scene of him chatting with the girl, the way they smiled, and the diamond ring. They always appeared in front of me. I couldn't control myself from thinking about it.

Isaac saw me sitting on the bed, hugging my knees. He sat beside me. "Sorry, I wanted to come back earlier today, but there were too many things."

"You have the fragrance of flowers," I said calmly to him.

Isaac began to stammer, "Is there? This... is the flower they sent to my office... used for decoration."

I looked at him in disbelief. He really would lie to me. "You bastard!" I pushed him away and rushed out of the house.
