Chapter 437
\nMarked By the Pureblood Alpha (Deanna and Luis) novel Chapter 437<\/p>\n
Deanna’s POV:<\/p>\n
I looked up at the building and froze for a second.<\/p>\n
I’d only been to Mooncrown Corporation a few times, always with Luis or when I needed his help. I’d never gone on my own.<\/p>\n
“He’s probably caught up in work. I don’t think it’s a good time.”<\/p>\n
“Oh, come on. You’re not just his wife. You’re the Luna now. And a shareholder. You have every right to be there. Let’s go!”<\/p>\n
She was relentless. I ended up letting her pull me along.<\/p>\n
As soon as we stepped inside, the staff in the lobby recognized me. They each gave a slight nod, showing quiet respect.<\/p>\n
No one stopped us. We took the CEO’s private elevator straight to the top floor.<\/p>\n
The idea of doing a “check-in” made me uneasy. I turned to Violet and whispered, “Maybe we should leave. We could come back another day.”<\/p>\n
“We’re already here!” she said quickly. Her eyes were full of excitement. “Think of it as a surprise visit. And I want to see what kind of office a full-blood Alpha keeps.”<\/p>\n
When we entered the executive suite, all the assistants stood from their desks and greeted me together. “Hello, Luna.”<\/p>\n
I waved for them to sit. “Keep working. Don’t mind us.”<\/p>\n
Violet and I continued toward the CEO’s office.<\/p>\n
Just as I lifted my hand to knock, we heard voices inside.<\/p>\n
“My boy, I heard you transferred twenty percent of Mooncrown Corporation to that woman. I suppose she really matters to you?”<\/p>\n
A moment of silence followed. Then came a sharp, low laugh from the man speaking.<\/p>\n
Luis answered without emotion. His voice was flat.<\/p>\n
“Women are all the same. She’s only here to carry the Mooncrown bloodline. After the baby is born, she won’t matter anymore.”<\/p>\n
He chuckled again. “That’s how you do it, Luis. A real leader does not waste time on petty emotions. Once my great-nephew is born, I will make sure he receives something worthy.”<\/p>\n
Violet’s POV:<\/p>\n
Deanna was due any day now. She couldn’t afford any stress, not like this.<\/p>\n
“Okay, okay! I got it. We are leaving. I promise.”<\/p>\n
I wanted to scream at myself.<\/p>\n
Why did I push this?<\/p>\n
Why could I not just take her home after shopping? Why did I drag her here?<\/p>\n
If we had skipped this, this never would have happened.<\/p>\n
No, this wasn’t my fault.<\/p>\n
It was him. How could Luis say something that cold? That cruel?<\/p>\n
Did he truly see her as nothing more than a vessel for his heir?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2519","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2519","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=2519"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
