Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 300

Amelia's POV: 

After the meeting, Morgan and I headed back to our room.Thinking about everything that had happened since last night, my heart felt heavy.Larry, that bastard! Why couldn't he just let me go? 

"What's wrong, honey? You don't look so happy.Is it because you need to get close to Larry to drug him? If you don't want to do it, I'll tell Mr.Jones right now."

Morgan wrapped his arms around my waist from behind.

"There must be another way.I don't want you to force yourself."

But I shook my head and sighed heavily.

"It's not that, honey.I know you feel sorry for me, but I have to go through with this.It's the only way."

I turned around to look into his eyes sadly.

"It's just, I was thinking that if I were to get close to him, I'd need to convince him that we broke up..."

My voice trailed off.It would hurt Morgan too much.

Sure enough, tears welled up in his eyes but he stayed strong for me.

"It's no big deal.If it means saving you, I'm willing to pretend we broke up!"

"But, honey, it's not fair to you!"

I hugged him tightly, wishing all our troubles were behind us.

"It's all my fault!"

Thinking of the nude photos, I felt more and more ashamed.

"It's all my fault," I repeated sadly.

"If it weren't for me, we wouldn't be in this situation."

"Don't say that! Honey, it's not your fault!"

Morgan lowered his head and kissed me, tears streaming down his cheeks.

"It's all my fault! If I had been able to protect you well, nothing would have happened."

Morgan was always so nice to me.He was so considerate and thoughtful.

"We both didn't do anything wrong, honey.This is all Larry's fault.I'm just grateful we got to meet again.Without you, I wouldn't have had the will to live on!" I murmured tearfully.

"Honey, if we want to convince Larry that we broke up, we need to sleep in different bedrooms.But don't worry.Once we catch Larry, we can finally be together in peace."

Morgan stroked my hair to comfort me.

I nodded.

"You're right.I'm sure we'll have our happy ending, Morgan."

As I spoke, I reluctantly let go of Morgan's hand.

"Go get some rest now.Let's sleep in different bedrooms starting tonight, in case Larry is monitoring us.You should go to bed early.You've been so busy taking care of me that you haven't slept well lately."

"Okay,"

Morgan promised.

"You have to go to bed early too, my dear.If anything happens, just call me.I love you."

After Morgan left, I stood alone in the bedroom in a daze.I went to the cabinet and took out the photos Larry sent.

Each photo rubbed more salt into my wound.

I hated Larry so much! He had tortured me for so many years.

He needed to pay the price.

I gritted my teeth angrily and took out a lighter.I lit those photos on fire and watched them burn at my feet.

When there were only ashes left, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Even though I knew that Larry must have had copies, it felt cathartic to vent my anger like this.

Just then, I received a text from the queen.

"Don't carry the weight of the world on your shoulders, okay? The past might be dark, but it's in the past.You have to look forward.The future is bright!"

I felt touched.

When Jennifer became the queen, I thought that she would distance herself from me, but the kind girl still treated me the same as before.

She was still the previous Jennifer—a considerate and good girl.I texted her back immediately.

"Thank you, Jennifer.I will be strong!"

After hitting send, I felt more determined than ever to defeat Larry.

Anthony's POV:
