The Alpha's 3,000-Mile Regret
452 Views · Ongoing · August
I'm the orphan the Aldrich family's steward took in. Edric is the heir to the Aldrich Group and the most powerful top-tier Alpha in Chicago.
We grew up together. I'm his fiancée.
The night of the charity gala, the photographer asked the executives and their partners to move in closer.
Edric gripped my shoulder, pushed me to the edge of the crowd, and pulled Valentina in beside him instead.
"Valentina and I are moving to the New York headquarters together next month. It makes sense for us to be in the shot together."
It wasn't the first time he'd pushed me aside.
When I brought him a question about a quarterly report, he said I was wasting his time.
When Valentina complained that reading files made her tired, he canceled a video call with European investors and rented out an entire amusement park to cheer her up.
When the two of them posed for a photo, everyone around them cheered.
All he could think about was taking Valentina to New York and leaving me behind in New Jersey, sure I would wait for him the way I always had.
What he didn't know was that I had already accepted a transfer to Los Angeles. Three thousand miles from New York.
This time, I wasn't going to wait for him to come home.
