Mated to my sister’s ugly mate

20



Alpha Kilian, flustered from the previous phone call, didn’t have time to distinguish who was calling him. He slammed the pen stand against the door and yelled in frustration, “Fuck off!” He was already irritated with his sister and didn’t have time to deal with anyone right now.

Shadow had been standing outside the whole time. When she heard the angry roar, she was momentarily stunned. Then, without wasting a second, she turned around and left. She didn’t know why he was so upset, but she knew she had no right to intervene.

After a while, Alpha Kilian regained his composure. He raised his head and stared at the ceiling. There were still many unanswered questions about the kidnapping years ago. After what happened to his mother, he promised himself he would avenge her no matter what.

Frank knocked on the door and entered with a stack of documents. His expression was calm, as if he hadn’t heard the roar from the study a few minutes ago. Alpha Kilian thought of something and raised his head. “Is Shadow back?”

Frank placed the files on the table, cleared his throat, and said, “Madame has been back for a while and she was looking for you. She came here…”

Alpha Kilian remembered that a woman had indeed knocked on the door. And the only woman who stayed in this castle was Shadow. He had chased her away at that time. Maybe he was too consumed in his thoughts and had forgotten that he was already married. Did she come to look for him on her initiative? Was it because she couldn’t resolve the rumors on social media and wanted his help? Alpha Kilian’s black eyes sparkled with interest as he leaned back into his seat. All the irritation and frustration from before had vanished, and all that remained was contemplation of what the woman would say.

“Where is she? Bring her here.”

Frank heard his order and left the study. After a while, he knocked on the door. This time, Shadow was right beside him. Shadow pushed the door open and entered. Alpha Kilian was seated behind the table with the tall executive chair turned away from her.

Under the dim light, all she could see were his pale hands resting on the armrests and the back of his head, just like before. He still didn’t want to show his face to her.

“What do you want?” Alpha Kilian’s cold voice echoed through the room.

Wasn’t she supposed to ask him this question? But he was asking her instead? When she had come to find him half an hour ago, he had clearly told her to leave. And now he was asking her to come over just to ask what was going on? It seemed she was dealing with a man with mood swings. Was this part of his disability as well? She tried not to be annoyed. After all, he had treated her fairly well all this time. Perhaps he was just having a bad day.

Not wanting to beat around the bush, Shadow got straight to the point. “I want to move out of the castle.”

Noticing the lack of reaction from the man, she quickly explained, “I’ll be starting work soon, and it’s inconvenient for me to continue living here.”

Her explanation was met with only an “Oh.”

Oh?

Should she take that as approval?

What she didn’t notice was that Alpha Kilian’s face darkened intensely behind the chair, and he tightened his grip on the armrest. If he didn’t have enough self-control, he would have turned around to look at her.

Yesterday, this woman had said that she didn’t mind his shortcomings and was willing to be with him. But today, she wanted to move out of the castle? Dream on!

Shadow saw that he hadn’t spoken in a long time and asked, “So are you…”

Alpha Kilian sneered and coldly interrupted her, “Do you think this is a hotel? That you can come and go as you please?” His voice had a viciousness and a warning that sent chills down Shadow’s spine.

Shadow didn’t understand how she had provoked him. Forget it! If he didn’t want her to leave, then she would just stay here. She didn’t want to offend him.

If she considered it from another perspective, someone like Alpha Kilian, who had some ‘inabilities,’ would be particularly sensitive and easily offended. Maybe he thought she was leaving him because she found him unattractive?

When Shadow thought about it that way, her tone softened. “Okay, I understand. I’ll leave if there’s nothing else.”

It was the first time Alpha Kilian had heard her speak so gently. He waved his hand, unmoved.

“Get out!”

Shadow sighed. Her softness hadn’t worked at all. His temper was truly awful.

Knowing that she would only anger him further, Shadow didn’t bother asking any more questions, and she headed out of the study. It was useless to argue with him; if she did, she might be signing her own death wish.

Once the door was closed, Alpha Kilian turned around and threw the documents onto the table, the veins on his forehead protruding.

Frank looked at his reaction and wondered why his boss had been losing his temper recently. Usually, he was a collected man.

After some time, Alpha Kilian calmed himself down and thought of something. He looked up at Frank. “I remember that Shadow’s profile mentioned she had graduated from the Film Academy?”

Frank nodded. “Yes, Sir. Madame studied Cinematic Literature.”

Alpha Kilian smiled instantly, like a predator looking at prey. “Does that mean her work is scriptwriting?”

“Ah… Yes.” Frank was surprised and nodded.

People thought Alpha Kilian was nothing more than a cripple and an impotent brat enjoying his father’s fortune, but no one knew that he was actually the boss of the country’s largest entertainment agency, D’Front Entertainment Group.

In fact, Alpha Kilian had never borrowed a dime from his father, paving his own way as one of the most successful entrepreneurs of his time. It was a shame that no one knew about his real abilities.

Within a short eight years, D’Front Entertainment became the global leader in the movie industry and created internationally award-winning movie stars. It was the best choice for all aspiring actors.

If Shadow really wanted to become a successful screenwriter, she should definitely send her resume to D’Front Entertainment.

Frank could predict what Alpha Kilian wanted to say next and nodded. “I’ll do it immediately.”

Shadow submitted her resume to all the film production companies in the pack, but she intentionally left out D’Front Entertainment.

Although others might think she was crazy, she had her own reasons. D’Front Entertainment and the company Hazel signed with were direct competitors. Furthermore, it was unlikely that she would get a job there.

The negotiation would take a few days, so she wanted to settle the news released by Jessica before the interviews began.

Thinking for a while, she called Jessica.

“What’s the matter? Speak!” Jessica spoke with arrogance as usual.

Shadow pinched her nose so it sounded like she had been crying. “Sister, I wasn’t thinking straight when I called you last time. I’m sorry. Please don’t be angry with me. Can we meet outside, just the two of us? I really don’t want to end our fight like this.”

Jessica snorted. “Who do you think you are? Why do you think I will meet you?”

Shadow knew very well that Jessica wanted her to plead. She lowered her voice and begged, “I beg you.”

“Louder. I can’t hear you.”

“I am begging you.”

“Okay…” Jessica snorted. “You’re still as docile as before.”

“Thank you so much.”

Shadow put down the phone, eyes blank.

Jessica, you must be very proud of yourself, right?

Just wait. Soon your name will be ruined.

Shadow took out her phone and glanced at the numbers sent by Hazel. These were the numbers of sales agents as well as several paparazzi.

She randomly chose some numbers and sent a message. “Would you be interested in a drama called ‘A Ugly Wench Mad After Money’?” The news of her ‘stealing’ Jessica’s fiance was still very popular, and it was obvious that everyone would be willing to take some good pictures.

Seeing the hurried replies, Shadow smiled. She sent them the time and address of the meeting place.

“Just you wait, Jessica. I’ll give you a big gift,” she thought and picked up her bag, leaving Alpha Kilian’s castle.

As soon as Shadow stepped out, Frank went to the study and informed Alpha Kilian, “Madame has left the house.”

Alpha Kilian lifted his head and looked at him, an expression that said, “What does it have to do with me?”

Though he had become used to Alpha Kilian’s chilling look, Frank still swallowed uncomfortably.

“I think Madame is going to deal with Jessica.” After everything that had happened in a few hours, even Frank was curious how Shadow was going to deal with Jessica. And he felt that Alpha Kilian must be interested in this matter.

Unexpectedly, Alpha Kilian only replied, “Okay.”

Frank was surprised. Had he guessed wrong?

However, in the next second, Alpha Kilian stood up and grabbed his coat. “I haven’t seen Big Cousin in a while. I should go and have a meal with him.”

After that, he headed out without looking back.

Frank thought to himself, If memory serves me right, Big Cousin is still overseas and not back yet.

The boss should at least find a more reasonable excuse…

Although Alpha Kilian’s excuse was clumsy, Frank didn’t dare to expose him.

Alpha Kilian followed Shadow and drove to the small restaurant, looking around. There weren’t many people here, so it was a good place for this meeting.

He leaned against the driver’s seat and watched as Shadow entered the restaurant. After about half an hour, Jessica finally arrived.

As usual, she was dressed nicely and twisted her nose in disgust, as if she were entering a garbage dump. Alpha Kilian couldn’t help but sneer. She was supposed to be the eldest daughter of the Eden family?

Then, another casually dressed man, who looked suspicious, entered the restaurant.

Being the boss of D’Front for so many years, Alpha Kilian could tell at a glance that this man was a paparazzo.

Alpha Kilian smirked. It seemed his wait hadn’t been in vain. The show was about to begin.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
