Divorced Ex-Luna Returns With Triplets
CHAPTER SEVENTY-TWO: Changed Supervisor

Maurene'S

POV

Liam hasn't texted me since the last time he messaged me about the issue with Nathaniel. I wanted to know the reason Nathaniel would suddenly cancel our contract with him. I knew Nathaniel was not a spontaneous man. He would either have had it in mind since the beginning or there was something that made him do that. Damn! That was what I should have done the other day when I went to meet him, now he would not let him in.

I tried calling Liam but he would not pick it up. The kids would not stop asking after him and I would always tell them he was busy with things. Even Diana had asked me that since Liam was busy, why was I at home?

It happened also that the project on Galen's land was also paused. It was not from Galen but from Liam. It seemed the project that was supposed to be done affected it. Right now, I didn't even know how I could help Liam. I have thought of ways to help but none of them seemed like it was the best. I really wanted to help Liam but his not answering my call was not helping issues at all.

Maybe I should see Alex. At least, he had sent me to him one time. He must know what to do, right?

I quickly went to my wardrobe and picked out a pair of denim trousers and a white T-shirt. I wore it quickly and picked up my black purse, exiting my room in a hurry. I climbed down the stairs and bumped into Diana.

"D, I will be back soon. I just need to see-" I halted when I saw Liam standing before me, looking as confident as ever. My eyes narrowed. Was I seeing something wrong? "Liam?" I didn't dare call his name out loud.

"Yes, it is me, Maurene. Come with me. We have somewhere to be." He said immediately, turning on his heels as we both headed outside. I caught up with him.

"Liam, don't you think you owe some sort of explanation or whatever?" I asked him and he didn't respond.

"We will not be taking your car. Enter into mine."

He ignored what I had said and got into the driver's seat. I wanted to refuse him but I entered, understanding that he was not in the mood for any sort of argument but that did not mean I would let it slide.

He hit the road and I noticed the road was quite familiar. It was the route to Evangeline's mansion. What was Liam going there to do? Did he also think of the Alpha King like I did? We were thinking alike after all.

I relaxed on the chair and stayed in silence as we reached the mansion. As usual, the guards escorted us to the entrance. The only surprising thing is that they didn't search us like they usually do.

I swallowed, feeling the tension oozing from Liam as we walked into the house. I was expecting to see Eva in the living room and thought Liam was going to stop but instead, he moved further into the house like he owned it. "Liam, you know we cannot-"

"Liam." Eva's voice called out and I stopped, my throat bobbing as I saw the interior design of the place. It was... spectacular.

"Eva?" Her name dropped from my mouth. I glanced between them before my eyes fell on Alex who walked in on us. "What-"

"Relax, you will understand soon. Just calm down." She assured.

What did she mean by that? I could not even think of anything that could be a possibility to prepare my heart. I just listened to the pounding of my heart in my ear drums. "Liam," He didn't answer me.

"Maurene, you should relax. There is no reason to panic. You are safe here." Alex guaranteed. They kept saying that and none of them was saying anything further.

"What is going on here? Why am I in my best friend's house and my husband seemed to know the house so well?" I asked, my eyes hardening into a glare.

"Well, Liam here is not who you think he is-"

"Evangeline." Liam tried to cut in.

"You will shut up when my Luna Queen speaks." Alex shunned him as his nose flared up in anger.

Evangeline exhaled deeply as she faced me. "You see, Liam Ferdinand, is... Alex'a step stepbrother and... Before you say anything, I wanted to tell you but you looked away too happy for me to do that. That was why I had Alex tell him to confess. There was no way he would keep lying to you and I would watch." She revealed.

I think I was hearing wrong. There was no way Liam would be related to the Alpha King. He never mentioned it to me. In fact, he made me believe that he was not related at all and that the only way he knew the Alphas was through business and nothing else.

Was the years we shared filled with lies also?

Tears brimmed my eyes as I looked up at him, feeling my heart shattered.

"Liam,"

"Maurene, you see. I have always wanted to tell you and -"

"And he didn't," Evangeline added. Anger flashed through his face at the way he interrupted her. I should have known. That day at the party. The way they looked at each other and Evangeline had warned me of him. Yet, I refused to allow her to change my perspective of him.

I trusted him. I truly did. I told him everything about me and yet, he didn't even for once tell me the truth.

"Anyway, the entire meeting is not for the both of you to talk shit. Apparently, I own a company and I had put Liam in charge because I wanted to see how worthy he would but then... he lost the access to Nathaniel's pack and you... Maurene, are going to help us get in there again."

I narrowed my eyes at what they said.

"Come again." The pain I was feeling cleared out immediately.

"I said I want us to continue the project on Nathaniel's land. I was the one who picked the land. So since you know Nathaniel, you will help me get back into his pack because I want a part of his land as mine, Maurene."
