Hailey's

POV

I kept asking Cole questions about him and Emma so that Alex, Julian, and Philip will also learn about how their relationship truly is. That way, they would finally forget about her. After Emma left, the triplets also excused themselves and followed her out. I stared at them out of frustration, my plans had been failing since the beginning of this dinner. The reason I asked Cole those questions in the first place were no longer at the table.

I excused myself and left too. I hurriedly followed after them. I knew they were going to speak with Emma again. I will never let that happen. I hurried after them only for someone to cover my mouth and drag me out through the back door. I struggled relentlessly. The person finally stopped at a secluded place where he uncovered my mouth and let go of me. I turned around to see who it was that had the nerve to drag me out like that. "You!" I exclaimed. Why was he here today of all days?

"Why the hell are you here?" I inquired in surprise.

"You weren't picking up my calls. I came to check what was going on," he replied.

"Have you gone completely out of your mind? If anyone sees you here, it will be over for the both of us. You need to leave right now," I said firmly.

"Why weren't you picking up my calls? I'm not leaving till you give me a reasonable explanation," he insisted.

"Don't be stubborn and leave already. Someone could see you," I replied, glancing around the place to make sure no one was watching us. He grabbed both of my arms.

"Is that the only thing you are worried about? Someone seeing us or your precious husband seeing us? Until when am I going to remain your secret side piece? Do you think I don't have any feelings too?" he asked looking hurt. I pushed his hands aside.

"So what? Do you think coming here in person is going to change my mind? Don't be delusional. Do you really think I'm going to leave my life behind for you? Who the hell do you think you are?" I inquired furiously. He snickered.

"No, you are the delusional one here. Life? What Life? The fake life you have here that was built on lies? Don't forget that I helped you get where you are today. If we didn't do what we did six years ago, do you really think Alex was going to make you his Luna?" he asked angrily.

"Shut up, else I'm going to shut it for you," I threatened.

"Shutting me up or sending me away won't change the truth. Just forget about Alex and his brothers, they don't deserve you. It's been six years since you both started using each other. End everything already," he pleaded.

"No, never. I'm never leaving them or my position. Do you know how long and how hard it took for me to get to where I am today? And you are telling me to give up? Absolutely not," I refused vehemently.

"You are going to keep staying with Alex and if he refuses to satisfy you, you run towards me. Is that it? How are you going to deal with this issue of having an heir? You and I know it's impossible," he said.

"I will figure something out. I always do," I responded. I suddenly felt a presence behind me. I recognized her scent right away. I turned around in shock.

"T..tis voice. I recognize this voice," Emma stuttered as she walked towards us and stared at him.

"Run. Run right now!" I ordered pushing him away without looking away from Emma. It was just Emma so I could come up with something. If anyone else saw him, I would be screwed.

"Didn't you hear me?" I yelled at him when I noticed he was not moving or responding to me.

"It's too late. We've already been caught," he replied.

"Emma, we aren't done talking...yet," I heard Julian's voice. He trailed when he saw us. Alex and Philip stood behind him. My eyes widened in shock but the wheels on my head were turning trying to figure out the next course of action to take. "Whatever anyone says, never say a word. I will do the talking," I whispered to him.

"What is going on here and why is he here with you?" Philip asked.

"Him? I met him out here. He said he needed to speak with his father but I informed him father was not around so he is on his way out now," I hurriedly explained.

"Father? Why would he want to see Father?" Julian inquired.

"He said his father sent him over here to have a discussion with him. He was just leaving. Why don't we go back inside? Mother must be waiting," I replied.

"Wait," Emma ordered. "It's you, isn't it? The man from six years ago. It's really you," she covered her mouth in horror.

"Emma, what happened and why do you look so terrified? What man?" Julian asked her.

"Julian it's him. The man from the videos. The one who tried to rape me six years ago," she said pointing towards him repeatedly.

"What!" they all exclaimed.

"Ximena? What are you saying? Are you even sure? A few days ago, you didn't even remember who you were and now you are accusing an innocent man of attempted rape? Are you sure you don't need a psychologist?" I asked.

"You shut the f**k up. Not another word," Alex said firmly.

"Don't speak to her like that," he said to Alex. I glanced back at him.

"Didn't I tell you not to say a word?" I whispered through gritted teeth.

"Emma, you are sure it's him?" Alex inquired.

"Of course I am. His voice tormented me for years," she responded. They all stared at him like a predator gauging its prey's reaction and in a blink of an eye, Alex was in front of me. He held onto his throat tightly. He choked as he struggled for air. "Alex, leave him. Don't tell me you believe whatever she's saying," I asked worriedly. My heart was beginning to thump heavily in my chest.

"Didn't I tell you to shut the f**k up?" he yelled loudly. I flinched.

"A.. and I told you not to yell at her. She's your wife," he muttered.

"Our issues are none of your business. What did you do to Emma? You've screwed us over before and I know you did this too. Speak up!" Alexander yelled at him.

"Alex, yelling won't change a thing. How can you judge someone just like that?" I asked. Emma walked towards me. She glanced at the both of us for a while.

"Why do you defend him so much? I never saw you speaking with him even when we were in high school. You hated Jance as much as the boys did," she said skeptically.

"W..what?" I stuttered, glancing at them all nervously. Emma had brought all their attention towards me. They were all expecting my answer.

"Of course, I don't like him. I never spoke to him since he brought out that incident about Philip killing someone. No matter what you all think, I would never relate with the enemy. I'm also surprised seeing him here but don't you think the rape accusation is too much? Why would he do something like that?" I asked.

"I'm sure it's him. He's not even denying it. He has always hated us and Emma after Alex beat him up when he spoke ill of Emma," Philip replied.

"You bastard. Can't you speak up?" Alex screamed at him, still holding on tightly to his throat.

"How can I speak when you are holding onto my throat?" Jance choked out. Julian and Philip immediately surrounded him while Alex let go of his neck roughly. He coughed for a while.

"We should let him just get lost. Let's not drag this matter any further or we risk getting bad publicity," I pleaded.

"No one is moving an inch from this place until I replace out what is really going on," Alex deadpanned. My heart sank out of helplessness.

"You are right. I was the one who gave the media the tip about Philip and pinned it on Xander. I was also the one who also tried to rape Emma but I wasn't going to go through with it even if Emma never ran away. I just did it to click a few pictures," he confessed. I stared at him in shock. I could hear my own heartbeat in my ears.

"What are you doing?" I whispered fearfully.

"I did everything you accused me of and so many more. I did it because I was angry at Alex for humiliating me in front of the whole school because of a lowly omega. But most of all, I did it for my mate," he said. My legs felt like jelly at that exact moment they couldn't support me anymore. I staggered and fell limply on the floor.

"Hailey," he continued. I stared at him in shock but I wasn't the only shocked one. I could feel everyone's shocked gazes down on me.
