I was still grappling with the shock of Leo's declaration when I noticed that his leg was braced with a crutch, indicating that his recovery was not fet complete.
"Leo, what are you doing here?" I asked, my concern evident. "Your leg isn't fully healed."
Leo's gaze flicked to Leon, a challenge in his eyes.
"What in this world is more important than recovering my Luna?" he replied sharply.
The underlying message was clear: his commitment to me was unwavering, and he was prepared to defend it against all comers.
Aa, attempting to exploit their long-standing friendship, stepped forward with a pleading look.
"Leo, we've known each other for over ten years," she said softly, her voice tinged with desperation.
"Can't you find it in your heart to be a little lenient? We've shared so much."
Leo's expression hardened.
"Aria, we're beyond that now," he said coldly. "I am with my Luna, and nothing will change that."
Her eyes glistened with unshed tears.
The force of his rejection was evident, and with a choked sob, she turned on her heel and fled from the restaurant.
The evening, which had promised to be a pleasant reunion, ended abruptly.
I turned to Leon, guilt washing over me.
"I'm so sorry for how this turned out. Let me pay the bill."
Before Leon could respond, Leo was by my side, his arm wrapping securely around my waist.
"I've already taken care of it," he said, his voice brooking no argument.
The ride down to the hotel was tense.
In the elevator, I stole glances at Leo, who stood beside me, his demeanor more relaxed now that the confrontation was over. Finally, I broke the silence. "How did you know I was here?"
Leo's lips curled into a slight smile.
"I own this hotel. When you booked your reservation, I knew about it."
My eyes
widened.
"You own the hotel? How many assets do you have?"
He chuckled softly. "More than you could imagine."
Despite my curiosity, I decided to shift the conversation.
"You shouldn't interfere with my friendships. It's not fair to Leon."
Leo's expression grew serious.
"Leon clearly adores you. I could feel it. And I won't stand by and let my Luna be taken by another man."
His words lingered in the air as we reached the lobby.
I made my way toward my car, but Leo's insistence was clear.

Tm driving you home," he said firmly.
As we reached the car park, a man approached us, his face lighting up with recognition.
He was short, with a plump figure and an anxious expression.
"Alpha Leo!" he called out eagerly. "Do you remember me?"
Leo's demeanor shifted abruptly.
The casual, almost affectionate tone he'd used with me disappeared, replaced by the authoritative presence of an Alpha.
He surveyed the man with cold scrutiny.
m busy at the moment. Please contact Beta for any matters."
The man's face fell, but he pressed on, desperation evident in his voice.
"Alpha, you must listen to me! I've been waiting here for days. If you divest from our team this year, the Sparco Racing Team will go bankrupt." The name "Sparco Racing Team" hit me like a bolt.
I looked at the man more closely, my mind racing.
He was familiar from my past, but I couldn't immediately place him.
I looked closely towards him, that short stature fat man was now somehow recognisable, he was the former manager of my team, Gregor.
How did he end up here, and begging Leo so lowly?
As Gregor's name echoed through the quiet of the parking lot, my heart raced with shock.
"Gregor?" I repeated, incredulously.
The man in front of me, with his disheveled suit and anxious demeanor, looked up in surprise.
Gregor's eyes widened as he took in my appearance.
"Liza, my God," he exclaimed. "You've completely changed. You're so beautiful now, like a star. I didn't recognize you at all."
The compliment was bittersweet.
Gregor's appearance was a far cry from how I remembered him-back then, he had worn high-end suits and carried an air of confidence. Now, his suit was rumpled, his face lined with stress.
I felt a pang of nostalgia mixed with concern.
"It's been a long time," I said softly.
Leo, who had been watching the exchange with a puzzled look, turned to me.
"You know each other?" he asked, his tone a mix of curiosity and suspicion. .0%
