Chapter 22

A week later, countless eyes fell on me as I got out of the Rolls Royce, dressed in a tube top, floor-length rose gold dress and a platinum mask with luminous pearl butterfly wings on my face.

to enjoy this feeling of being surrounded by thousands of people. His old, wrinkled face looked a little more brightened than I remembered. If there had been anyone in this family that I still held expectations for, it would be Alpha Michael. Compared to Ellen and Melissa, he was my closest relative after all. Even though he hadn’t cared about me in the past nineteen years, he also hadn’t gone out of his way to make my life miserable. I always thought that he might have feelings of family love towards me
