\nMarked By the Pureblood Alpha (Deanna and Luis) novel Chapter 184<\/p>\n
**The Heart I Buried for You by Serene Lockwood**<\/p>\n
Bluewave Studio buzzed with the usual energy, but today felt different for Maggie. She had taken two days off from work, citing family reasons, but deep down, she craved a break from the relentless pace of her life.<\/p>\n
With Violet\u2019s next filming project still on the horizon, the atmosphere was light and carefree. Violet, Deanna, and Maggie strolled toward the parking lot, their laughter mingling with the sounds of the bustling studio.<\/p>\n
As they walked, a gleaming limited-edition Rolls-Royce caught their attention, its polished surface reflecting the late afternoon sun. The luxury car stood out like a jewel among the ordinary vehicles, and it piqued their curiosity.<\/p>\n
Nearby, Aaron stood with an air of formality, bowing slightly as they approached. His demeanor was respectful, yet there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.<\/p>\n
Violet, always quick to assess the situation, turned to her friends with a playful smirk. \u201cIs that beta waiting for us?\u201d she asked, a teasing lilt in her voice.<\/p>\n
Aaron stepped forward, his voice steady and professional. \u201cMs. Wiley, our Alpha has arranged a dinner for you and your friends tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n
Deanna, momentarily taken aback, couldn\u2019t help but blurt out, \u201cWhy does he want to treat us all to dinner?\u201d The question hung in the air, filled with a mix of surprise and curiosity.<\/p>\n
Violet\u2019s grin widened, her eyes sparkling with delight. \u201cGuess Mr. Eaton actually took my advice! My opinion of him just hit a new high!\u201d Her enthusiasm was contagious, and Deanna felt her spirits lift.<\/p>\n
Aaron continued, his tone unwavering. \u201cWe\u2019ve booked a private room at Imperial Grace Restaurant. Alpha will join you after his meeting.\u201d<\/p>\n
At the mention of the restaurant, Violet let out an excited squeal, her mind racing with the possibilities.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s almost impossible to get a table at Imperial Grace Restaurant! They only accept a limited number of guests each day, and reservations have to be made at least a month in advance. Even with my assistant booking ahead, it never works out!\u201d Her eyes were wide with disbelief, and she could hardly contain her excitement.<\/p>\n
Aaron smiled, clearly pleased with their reactions. \u201cSince the restaurant is located in the mall, Alpha also mentioned that Ms. Wiley and your friends are welcome to go shopping beforehand. All charges will be billed to Mooncrown Pack.\u201d<\/p>\n
Violet nudged Deanna playfully with her shoulder, her laughter ringing like music. \u201cWho would\u2019ve thought I\u2019d finally achieve shopping freedom thanks to my bestie?\u201d<\/p>\n
Zelena, standing slightly apart, managed a small smile, though her eyes appeared dim. \u201cDeanna, Mr. Eaton is really good to you. Even we\u2019re benefiting from being your friend.\u201d Her voice was soft, tinged with a hint of wistfulness.<\/p>\n
Once they reached the mall, Violet wasted no time. She headed straight for the racks, her eyes gleaming with determination as she selected a few limited-edition dresses. Without hesitation, she disappeared into the fitting room, excitement radiating from her.<\/p>\n
Luis was in the middle of a meeting, sitting at the head of the table with his legs crossed, exuding an air of casual confidence. He smirked at his phone, half-expecting praise. \u201cDid I do well?\u201d he typed, his heart racing with anticipation.<\/p>\n
The senior manager, who had been presenting, caught the smile on Alpha\u2019s face and assumed his report had impressed him, which only fueled his enthusiasm further.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Deanna\u2019s cheeks flushed as she read Luis\u2019s text. A rush of warmth enveloped her, and she couldn\u2019t help but reply with a deliberately haughty tone. \u201cYou decided to do this all on your own. I never asked you. Don\u2019t expect me to pay you back.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cJust eat more tonight. That\u2019ll cover it,\u201d he replied, his casual tone making her laugh.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s it?\u201d she shot back, feigning disbelief.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah. I like you with a little more weight. It feels better in my arms.\u201d<\/p>\n
Deanna was left speechless, her heart racing as she tried to process his words, a mixture of surprise and delight flooding her senses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2267","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2267","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2267"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
