Chapter 24: Fury Unleashed
(Olivia’s POV)
Victoria’s startled cry echoed through the ballroom as I yanked the tablecloth with all my strength. The expensive china plates crashed to the floor, followed by crystal glasses that shattered on impact. Desserts, moonlight wine, and carefully arranged appetizers cascaded in
a chaotic avalanche.
“Olivia Winters, stop!” Ethan roared, his Alpha voice reverberating through the room.
Stop? I scoffed internally. I came here today to shatter Victoria and Emma’s smug celebration,
not to bow to his commands.
I moved to the next table, ignoring the gasps of horror from the gathered guests. With one swift motion, I upended another display, sending a chocolate fountain toppling over. Dark liquid splashed across the pristine floor, staining the expensive carpet.
“She’s gone completely mad!” Victoria shrieked, clutching Emma closer to her side.
I turned my attention to the gift table, where neatly wrapped presents were stacked in Emma’s honor. Without hesitation, I swept my arm across it, transforming the carefully arranged gifts
into a heap of crumpled paper and ribbons.
Emma’s wails intensified as she watched her carefully planned achievement celebration being
systematically destroyed.
“My presents!” she screamed, her face contorting with rage and disbelief.
Good, I thought savagely. Let her feel a fraction of what Lily felt every time Ethan chose Emma
over her.
Victoria’s face had transformed into a mask of pure hatred. Her eyes narrowed as she lunged
toward me, her hands outstretched like claws.
“You jealous b***h!” she hissed, attempting to shove me toward the Multi–Tiered Champagne Fountain that stood nearby.
1 reacted on instinct, grabbing her wrists and pivoting my body. Using her own momentum
against her, I pulled her forward, causing her to stumble directly into the crystal structure.
The fountain shattered with a deafening crash, Crystal shards exploded outward, showering

Victoria with razor sharp fragments. Several cut into her skin, drawing blood that blossomed against her pate complexion.
Her screams echoed through the room as she clutched of her face, blood seeping between her fingers
“Victorial‘ Ethan shouted, rushing to her side. His eyes were wide with concern as he gerely pulled her hands away to assess the damage.
Emma tried to follow, but Ethan held her back with one arm. “Stay there, Emmy he commanded, his voice tight with worry. “There’s broken glass everywhere?
I turned away from them, continuing my path of destruction. The Multi–Tiered Moonston Celebration Cake had already been destroyed by Emma’s earlier fall, but several smaller dessert displays remained intact.
Not for long.
I upended trays of pastries, kicked over ice sculptures, and tore down decorative banners Each act of destruction felt like a small justice for Lily, for every slight and cruelty she had
endured.
By the time I paused to catch my breath, the banquet hall lay in ruins. Frosting smeared
across marble floors, broken crystal glittering under the chandeliers, and food splettered
across expensive wallpaper
I stood in the center of it all, my chest heaving with exertion. A strange calm had settled over
me, replacing the burning rage that had driven my actions.
“Who called the authorities?” a stern voice cut through the chaos,
I turned to see two uniformed officers approaching through the debris strewn entrance, Behind them, Ethan cradled Victoria in his arms, his phone still clutched in one hand,
It was immediately clear who had summoned law enforcement.
Victoria, seeing the officers, let out a pitiful moan. “Officer,” she cried, her bloodied appearance adding weight to her words, “she caused trouble and deliberately hurt people!”
The officers surveyed the destruction around us, their expressions hardening as they took in
the scene.
“Ma’am, we’re going to need you to come with us,” one of them said, approaching me with
handcuffs.
I didn’t resist as cold metal closed around my wrists. What was the point? The damage was

done – I had made my statement.
My gaze locked with Ethan’s across the room. His amber eyes were unreadable, containing
depths of emotion I couldn’t begin to decipher. Was there anger? Certainly Disappointment?
Probably. But something else lingered beneath the surface something that looked almost
like regret.
I stared back defiantly, chin raised. I knew he expected me to plead for his protection, to beg
for his intervention as Alpha. But he was the last person I would ever turn to again.
Victoria leaned heavily against Ethan’s chest, her moans growing more dramatic as she
noticed the officers watching. “It hurts so much, she whimpered, pressing her face against his
shirt, leaving smears of blood on the expensive fabric..
Ethan’s attention immediately shifted back to her. “I’ll take you to the Medical Den,” he said,
his voice gentle as he lifted her into his arms. He was careful not to aggravate her cuts,
treating her like precious cargo.
