“Alpha, aren’t you going inside?” 

My driver’s voice broke through my thoughts, pulling my gaze away from Selene. 

But I couldn’t help myself. My eyes drifted back to her again. 

The driver lowered his head when he realized I wasn’t in the mood to respond. 

I’d come all this way to see her, to talk to her. Yet now, with her right in front of me, I had no idea what to say. 

What could I tell her? How would she react? 

As I sat there, staring at her for what felt like forever, I heard voices outside the car. 

“She’s like a butterfly–impossible to catch.” 

“Yeah, but she’s your sister–in–law. Don’t look at her like that.” 

“Hey, you can’t say that. I’m the one who introduced you to Selene.” 

“So what? Your brother’s smitten with her. Stop looking at her with any other intentions.” 

My frown deepened as I listened. Their words, coupled with Selene’s name, set my blood boiling. 

Two boys, likely college students, passed by my car. Judging by the way they casually leaned against it earlier, they probably assumed no one was inside thanks to the tinted windows. 

I watched as the group entered the coffee shop and quickly claimed a table near the counter. One of the boys grinned broadly as he spoke to Selene. 

It didn’t take much to figure out he was the one who’d told his friend to call Selene his “sister–in–law.” 

My fists tightened when I saw her return his grin with one of her own. She looked so warm, so friendly toward him as he approached the counter to place an order. 

The coffee shop had glass walls, and the blinds were wide open to let in the sunlight. I could see everything happening inside–every interaction, every expression. 

My patience snapped. 

I swung open the car door and stepped out, slamming it shut behind me. 

Striding toward the coffee shop, I grabbed the glass door and pushed it open. A soft chime rang out, signaling a new customer had entered. 

I ignored it. 

Inside, I glanced around. Most of the customers were young–high school and college students, laughing and chatting over their drinks. 

When I stepped further in, all eyes turned to me. Their curious stares didn’t bother me. I doubted they had any idea who I was. If they did, they wouldn’t dare look at me like that. 

My gaze swept across the room, stopping on the counter. Selene wasn’t there,

I glanced at the door behind the counter and guessed she must have gone through it. 

“Excuse me, sir. Please have a seat,” a young girl said, stepping in front of me. 

I looked at her apron and realized she was an employee. 

“Call your other employee,” I said flatly. 

“Who, sir? Are you looking for someone?” she asked, her cheeks flushing pink at my tone. 

“Call Selene. I don’t have time for questions.” 

BAMTHI 

My voice was louder than I intended, drawing the attention of the customers seated near the counter. 

“What are you doing here?”
