After I Amazed the World the Cold Alpha Regretted

Chapter 5

I waited downstairs for him, perfectly dressed and prepared.

People passing by gave me curious glances.

I waited for what felt like an eternity, but he never showed up.

I called and texted him repeatedly, but received nothing in return.

Eventually, I gave up and called a cab instead.

By the time I arrived at the event, the dinner was already in full swing.

The guests were laughing and chatting in small groups, completely absorbed in their own

conversations.

I felt lost.

I couldn't find Leo, and I didn't know anyone there.

So, I retreated to a quiet corner and sinking into a chair,feeling the weight of loneliness settle in.

And then, I saw them-Leo, arm-in-arm with Aria, weaving effortlessly through the crowd.

The moment they entered the room, all eyes were drawn to them-they were magnetic,commending the attention of everyone around.

They gracefully moved around the room, greeting everyone with effortlessly charm.

I watched as Aria handed Leo a drink with familiar ease, leaned in to whispered something, and then shared an intimate smile with him- one that I had once thought was mine alone. Surprisingly, my first emotion wasn't anger.

It was a quiet shock at how well they fit together-like two pieces of a puzzle I had never quite belonged to.
