Divorced Ex-Luna Returns With Triplets
CHAPTER SIXTY-THREE: Shocking Headlines

Amanda'S POV

"You will pretend to be my girlfriend and I will make you meet him." He said with a smug smirk. Anger streamed through me at his arrogantface. He knew what was he doing and I had no choice than to give in. Natalia was too dumb. Did she think I was going to let her take him from me?

She was dumb. So dumb.

I walked back into the pack house, feeling so tired and down. I needed to catch some rest since I had stayed all awake in the night to meet Martin who was still stupid in his own way.

Walking into the living room, I noticed the maids muttering amongst themselves before they dispersed after noticing my presence. Was something wrong with my face?

That fucker Martin had promised that he would not do anything to me. I marched angrily further, feeling dirty and used.

I bumped into one of the guards and he bowed. "I was just about to come to your room." He informed me.

"And why is that?"

"The Alpha seeks your presence now." He relayed the message and I thought about going to take a bath but thought that if Nathaniel requested for my presence, then it must be important. I walked to his office, exhaling deeply as I knocked on the door.

"Come in." His order came and I walked in.

"Nathaniel." I called.

He dropped his pen and looked up at me after a while. "So tell me, what is that all about?" His question made me furrow my brows.

"What do you mean?" I asked, stepping closer to him.

His brows went up as he slowly rose to his feet, his hands splayed on his laps as he seemed controlling himself from lashing out. "You," He pointed at me, letting out a deep exhale as he looked away.

"Your new relationship. You didn't care to tell me that you finally fell in love!" He hissed out, his nose flared up in anger.

I stumbled back in shock, freezing in place as I stared at him, wide-eyed. "W-What did you say? How did you know? Did you keep spies around me?" I yelled at him.

His brows knotted together. "Spies? Amanda, did you just ask if I kept spies around you? Truthfully, I ought to do that but I didn't. I trusted you to be safe and not get into some shady relationship some unknown man!" He sneered.

"And why are you angry? Years after years, you have refused to accept my love for you. Am I not supposed to find someone else?" I asked him, swallowing the hard lump in my throat. We locked gaze, my chest heaving with heavy breaths as I watched Nathaniel almost lose control over his anger.

"Amanda!" He yelled, heavy breeze swished past me and I flinched, tension holding my veins taut. "How dare you? You should better than anyone that you are not supposed to be in a relationship. At least not now." He said. I blinked, looking away.

"Who is he?" He asked, sitting back and looking up at me.

I faced him. "Martin. His name is Martin. We met at the party the other night. I swear, he is a good man." I told him. I lied. Martin was not a good man but I didn't want Nathaniel knowing that. He would go after him before I got what I wanted. And that was not what I needed right now.

He tilted his head to the side, hue eyes scrutinizing me. "Need I remind you that I know you, Amanda and that stupid lie you told just now, I don't believe it."

I knew it! He would not.

I blinked. "See. I like this guy and I can't keep waiting for you. You once told me to follow my heart and that is exactly what I am doing, Nathaniel."

"Amanda." He called my name softly that I wanted to remind myself I had fallen in love with him again. "You should know better than anyone why I am doing this. But anyway, if you insist that you want to be with him, it is for the better. You can take your leave and make sure you are safe." He said.

After giving him a long look, I turned around and exited the office. I bumped into Grayson on the way and he gave me a look before walking away. I heard some voices outside so I went to peer through the window connecting the pack house to the land beyond. There she was standing, issuing orders and holding papers like she was the damn Luna. Maurene.

Hot breaths oozed out of my nostrils as I glared at the back of her head. She was back to take Nathaniel from me and I would not let her!

Marching to my room, I pulled off my dress and my phone beeped with a message. I looked at the bright screen.

It was a message from Martin.

Gotten home yet, girlfriend?

My jaw hardened as I remembered. How did the fact that I just started dating him get outside?

I picked up my phone and dialed his contact. He picked it on the first ring.

"Girl-"

"I thought you want to keep private." I gritted out, gripping my phone tight.

"Easy there, girlfriend. I don't know what happened. But for someone to publish something like that, they must be stalking you." He stated.

I narrowed my eyes. "Stalking me?" I asked.

"Yes. Stalking you but don't worry, since you are my girlfriend now, I will make sure that they don't get anywhere close to you. One of the many advantages of being my girlfriend." He said and I could imagine him smiling. "Alright. If you say so." I disconnected the call and dumped my phone on the bed. His message entered later.

Not a good way to end the call on your boyfriend.

I hissed and went into the bathroom. ΑΑΑΑΑΑΑ

Two days later, Martin took it upon himself to send me good morning texts and made sure to wish me sweet dreams at night. I did not know why I felt moved by his act of romance. He sure pretended to be a good boyfriend. I still had not taken a step nor clear the confusion on the internet. I read the comments which adamantly refused that I had gotten over my crush for Nathaniel. They were right. I was only using Martin for a little time before I make Maurene disappear.

A maid came to tell me that my friends were around. All three of them and I was here making sure I wore the best make up. The news must have hit them in the guts, I guess.

I stepped out of my room and trailed down the stairs. They watched me like hawks and I smiled the moment I got to them.

"So you finally let go of Nathaniel?" Tania asked, a skeptical look etched on her features.

I glanced at her. "Yeah. A man managed to capture my heart." I drawled, flicking my fingers in the air at the expensive diamond ring Martin had forced on me.

"And who is this mysterious man?" Nadia asked, regarding me with a look that dripped with suspicion. My lips curled into a smile and I let out a laugh.

"This mysterious man that has managed to capture my heart is... you will know very soon." I said, twisting the ring on my finger.

"It was bad of you not to tell us about it, you know. We would have given our two cents about the man." Miranda twirled in the wine in her hands. Since she returned from her trip with her boyfriend, I guessed she had found out what a cheating ass he was.

It was none of my business. I did my part to send the pictures of them both but she was too much in love and she trusted him. Poor thing. She just trying to hold up.

"So you are trying to say I am the only in a relationship in this friend group? Huh. That's bad. You lot should find men." I snorted.

"Well, if not that you have managed to keep a mysterious man in your hand, who knows if you have finally stopped your obssession with Nathaniel?" Tania asked.

I ground my jaw. "You will watch your mouth in my home. Do you understand?" I bit out, shooting daggers at her.

"Isn't it wrong?" She glanced at Nadia and Miranda. "The moment you left your relationship and Martin kind of rejected you, our dearly beloved Amanda got into a relationship with a mysterious man." She fixed an accusing look at me. I narrowed my eyes into slits at her. "Coincidence. It was not my fault Miranda couldn't keep her man and Nadia got rejected by Martin. Is it?"

"Martin didn't reject me, girls!" Nadia snapped.

We turned to her, waiting for her to explain.

"He proposed to me."

My eyes widened instantly. What exactly was Martin playing at?
