Letting Go

Book:The Billionaire Alpha Contract Lover Published:2024-10-15

The wedding was held in the small garden opposite the orphanage, in the open space amid an endless sea of flowers. That was where Silas first met Taya, where they fell in love, and where their fate began. Silas invited someone to stand guard near the garden, not letting anyone approach him, and he also invited someone to carefully decorate the garden. On the ten-meter long red carpet, bright rose petals were strewn all the way from the outside of the garden to the terrace where the wedding was to be held. Holding 999 roses and a diamond ring, Silas sat in a wheelchair, quietly waiting for his woman to come towards him. Taya stepped on the red carpet and walked into the entrance of the small garden. Then, she put down the hem of her skirt, took a deep breath, and adjusted her chaotic emotions… It was drizzling a little and the raindrops were dripping on her face, cooling her skin. It was cold, like the temperature in her body at that moment.
Camille, who came a step late, saw Taya. He held an umbrella and walked towards her. “Ms. Palmer, I got caught up…” Taya looked sideways at Camille, and said softly, “Let’s go…” Camille nodded lightly, held the umbrella for her, and led her in. Harper, who came to attend the wedding, had just gotten out of the car when she saw Griffon standing there, watching Taya leave from a distance. Harper walked in front of him, and when she saw that his beautiful and flawless face was completely pale, she couldn’t help sighing. “Alpha Knight, you and her have reached this point. Since you can’t go back to the past, it’s best to let it go…” After Harper finished speaking, she walked past him and walked straight into the wedding venue. Griffon’ thick eyelashes trembled. Looking at Harper’s back, he asked softly, “Ms. Duke, is it true that Taya used to love me once?” Harper stopped and looked back at Griffon. “Of course it’s true. Taya used to love you so much that she didn’t want to spend even a penny of yours. Even if she had to work hard, she still wanted to return the money from selling herself to you.
She felt that this could be a way to repay your love. In front of you, she could restore some of her dignity and change your impression of her, but you let her down…” Griffon’ face turned pale again. His heart ached so badly that he couldn’t breathe; he was in so much pain that he could not stand still. He once mistakenly thought that she didn’t want his money because she had found another man and because of that he had said a lot of nasty things to upset her and hurt her. However, he never thought that she didn’t want his money because she loved him. She loved him so much. Those words were so painful that Griffon could barely breathe. It turned out that she loved him.
It was true. She didn’t lie to him… Harper couldn’t help feeling a little regretful seeing him. look like he only just found out the truth. “Alpha Knight, Taya wanted to confess to you after falling in love with you, but she said that you were always moody and temperamental, so she didn’t dare to say anything. I hope you can forgive her for not telling you this.” Griffon’ eyes turned red and he smiled faintly. “I’ve never blamed her.” He didn’t blame her because he never told her that he loved her either, and that was why they were destined to lose each other. After a long moment of silence, he raised his eyes and looked at Harper. “Ms. Duke, thank you for telling me this.” In this life, he has once received Taya’s love, which was enough… He held his umbrella, turned around, and walked towards the luxury car. When his tall and straight figure got into the car, Harper also looked away. In the car, Griffon picked up the envelope, rubbed it gently, and said to Andre, “Take it and give it to Jackson.” Andre knew what was inside, and he said helplessly, “Alpha Knight, even if you do this, Ms. Palmer wouldn’t come back to you, so why bother?” Griffon paved the way for them, and even helped Jackson get rid of his enemies, but he, on the other hand, had to endure all the pain himself.
He had to watch the woman he loved the most marry another man. It was too cruel for Griffon to send them such a big wedding gift. Griffon’ eyes, which were as cold as snow, glance at Andre. “Even you are not obeying me, huh?” What else could Andre say? He reluctantly took the envelope, pushed open the car door, and walked to the wedding venue. In the garden, a grand wedding ceremony was being held. The emcee on stage was starting the ceremony with introductory remarks. There were very few guests, but it did not affect the progress of the wedding. The groom, Silas, was wearing a white suit and sitting in a wheelchair, staring at the girl in a white wedding dress on the other end of the red carpet. It was his dream since young, and the promise he had made to her back during their youthful years, to mate her. If he hadn’t lost his memory for few years, she would have already been his wife… Although after ups and downs, he managed to mate her, it still felt surreal as if it was a dream he had yet to wake up from. His affectionate gaze landed on her from afar, unable to see her expression clearly, nor could he feel her emotions. The more he went on looking, the more distant and unreal it felt. It wasn’t until the emcee reminded him to welcome his bride that he slowly returned to his senses… Camille pushed him up to Taya, and it was only then could he manage to get a clearer look at the expression on Taya’s face. She was wearing exquisite bridal makeup with a faint smile on her face and he could see himself through the reflection of her eyes. He couldn’t see through the thoughts in her mind, so all he could do was return a smile and extend his hand to her… Taya reached out her hand, which she had a pair of white gloves on, and gently placed it onto Sil as’s palm. Silas gripped her hand tightly as if his life depended on it. He led her, step by step walking all the way to the stage. Staring at the path under his feet, it was as if he was fulfilling his pup period obsession step by step. They arrived at the stage. Under the guidance of the emcee, they were about to read their oath when Andre’s indifferent voice came from outside the garden. “Wait a minute…” Andre planned to wait for the wedding to end, but for some reason, the more he watched the more furious he grew. He could no longer hold himself back from interrupting. When Stella, who attended the wedding as a guest, saw Andre intercepting, she jotted up from her seat and walked towards him. “Andre, what are you doing?” The wedding was on going, so he had better not stir trouble right then. “I’m here to give Mr. Sterling a wedding present.” Holding a document, he stepped on the red carpet, step by step ascending the flight of stairs onto the stage.
After standing still, he handed the document to Silas with both hands in the most respectful manner possible. Mr. Sterling, this is a small gift from our Alpha, who sincerely hopes that you’ll accept it.” The moment Andre appeared, Silas came to understand why the wedding felt unreal. Without him around, how could the wedding be true… With a sliltto unnoticeable scoff, Silas took the document over. With fingers, he took out a contract from inside. As his eyes skimmed through the contents of the contract, his face drained pale of color. In disbelief, he raised his head to Andre. “Where is he?” Andre turned around to motion at the man hiding among the flowers under the refuge of a black umbrella. Silas followed his line of sight, and at a glance noticed the well-dressed man under the black umbrella, looking at them from a distance.
He averted his head slowly to look at Taya, who had her piercing stare locked on the contract in his hands, a look of indifference gradually appearing in her eyes. He placed the contract aside and rolled his wheelchair to Griffon’ direction. Griffon was no longer in his white suit but a black one. He was dressed very formally as if he was there to attend the wedding, but not knowing what right he had to do so, he stood in the distance and watched from afar. Seeing Silas approaching him, he turned around to leave, but was stopped by Silas… “Alpha Knight.” Rolling his wheelchair forward, Silas went up to Griffon and raised the contract in hand to ask, “Afraid that she’ll live a tough life with me?”
