Chapter 0082 Alexander POV I smirked slightly .
If I didnt know any better , Id swear you could see into the future .
An odd expression flickered across Ellas face before she quickly lowered her gaze to her coffee .
That would be nice , she muttered .
I mean it , I said , watching her closely .
You seem to have this incredible insight into peoples motivations .
Its like you know whats going to happen before it even unfolds .
Sometimes its … unsettling .
Ella smiled weakly .
Im sorry if it unsettles you , she said her fingers tracing the edge of her cup .
Im just making an educated guess based on my understanding of the situation , as Ive said before .
I watched as she toyed with the coffee cup , her eyes intentionally turned away .
Something Id said had clearly affected her , but I couldnt quite put my finger on what .
There were moments when I could read her like an open book , and others like this where she was a puzzle , impossible to solve .
Oddly , I found comfort in that .
I had plenty of my own secrets , and despite the nature of our relationship , it seemed we were a perfect match in that regard .
So , who was on the phone ? Ella asked , clearly eager to change the subject .
August , I replied .
She looked concerned .
Is everything all right ? I nodded .
Yes , he was just confirming details about a business transaction .
It wasnt urgent , but I had to take the call to be sure .
I understand , she said , seeming to relax a little .
Hes your beta you need to keep communication open and clear .
My father is the same way with his beta .
Im glad you understand , I said .
It was clear that something in Ellas demeanor had shifted .
I wasnt sure what exactly bothered her was it the warning from my ex or my comments about her apparent precognition ? Either way , she seemed uncomfortable .
I wanted to ask , to dig deeper into whatever was weighing on her mind .
There was an undeniable urge within me to help her with whatever burden she carried .
I couldnt seem to help myself when it came to Ella .
There was something about her that intrigued me endlessly .

I wanted to understand her what made her tick , what drove her .
At first glance , she seemed so simple , but I knew better .
Under the surface , she was calculating and careful , with secrets of her ownL If revenge for a lovers betrayal was truly her only motive , she wouldnt have gone this far .
There had to be more to her than met the eye .
So , 1 asked , leaning in slightly , tell me , what would you like to do for the rest of the day ? The choice is yours- anything at all .
She looked at me and smiled , but it didnt quite reach her eyes .
I could sense that something was still weighing on her .
Ill pick something for us to do , she said softly , but first I need you to give me your word.
About what ? I asked , raising an eyebrow .
25 BONUS Chapter 0052 Promise me that youre going to plan for this , she said , her tone firm .
For how youre going to handle it when more women come forward with stories about you .
This isnt something we can just ignore .
Itll be a disaster if we do .
I stared at her in silence for a moment , caught off guard .
She was surprising me yet again , her serious expression and the warning in her voice was unlike anything Id seen from her before .
There were so many layers to Ella , and the more time I spent with her , the more I realized I might never fully understand her .
I promise , I finally answered , Ill prepare a strategy to deal with it .
Relief flickered across her face , and she smiled at me this time , a genuine smile that made my chest tighten .
Good , she said softly .
I think theres a farmers market today .
We could go pick up something for lunch .
That sounds quaint , I replied , amused .
Do you like that sort of thing? She nodded enthusiastically .
I think its fun.
You get to meet so many interesting people .
I used to go to the farmers markets back home all the time .
Its a good way to get a feel for how the pack is doing .
