The Almighty Alpha Wins Back His Rejected Mate
Chapter 1617

I clenched my fists, a serious look on my face.

How did things get to this point?

Everything was fine just yesterday.

And just because I drank…

I was suddenly overwhelmed by a fierce anger and I turned to Alexandria.

“Tell me what exactly happened! Why were you in my bed?”

My fierce gaze frightened Alexandria who broke down in tears and stammered, “Alpha, I’m sorry.

You were drunk last night and you kept saying you loved me.

At some point, you pulled me onto the bed.

There was nothing I could do and it happened.

”

Alexandria didn’t dare to look at me.

With her eyes fixed on the floor, she apologized in earnest.

“Alpha, I’m really sorry.

It’s my fault.

I shouldn’t have drank so much and I should have resisted.

It’s all my fault.

”

The explanation she gave me was too flimsy for me to believe it.

The worst part was that I had passed out from the alcohol and didn’t remember anything.

So I had no way of ascertaining what had really happened.

I fell into deep thought for a while, then took a firm decision.

“Alexandria, I want you to resign in all confidentiality.

You can’t continue to work as my secretary.

Don’t worry, I’ll compensate you generously.

”

Having said that, I was about to go replace Debra, but I was stopped.

Alexandria grabbed my arm.

Caleb’s POV:

I quickly pulled my hand away and asked, “What’s this about? Don’t you think the compensation is fair? Do you want more?”

Alexandria hesitated, then shook her head.

“No, that’s not it.

” She looked at me cautiously, gathering courage to say, “Alpha, I don’t want the compensation.

Please, don’t make me quit the job.

”

I frowned and replied, “You don’t want to quit? Why?”

Alexandria stepped closer, her expression genuine as she said, “Because I really like you.

That’s why I got carried away and gave in to temptation.

Even if you don’t pay me, I won’t tell anyone about this.

Alpha, please don’t fire me, okay?”

She liked me?

My head began to ache.

Alexandria had always been very proper, keeping her distance.

I thought she was different from other women.

It turned out she was just better at hiding her true self.

If I ignored her request and fired her, she might spread the news secretly, making it public without any evidence against her.

I felt a throbbing pain and held my forehead.

“Alexandria,” I said, looking at her with a serious expression.

I was about to try and reason with her when someone kicked the villa door open with such force that I forgot what I was going to say.

Turning, I saw Zoe storming in, looking like she was about to explode.

“Caleb, you jerk!” She gritted her teeth.

“You actually cheated! How could you do that?”

Seeing her approach, ready to slap me, I remembered the sting of the slap I’d received earlier, so I quickly dodged.
