The Alpha's Hidden Heirs (Selene and Kane) novel Chapter 180

Chapter 180

Her polite tone only seemed to stoke the fire in Kane’s eyes. His anger mostly directed at himself- now simmered dangerously as he watched Selene’s casual demeanor toward Ellas. 

Selene rolled her eyes when she saw him rooted to the spot like a statue, his jaw fight and his fists clenched 

“Excuse me, young man,” came Margot’s voice. 

Selene stepped aside so Margot, the owner of the coffee shop, could approach. 

Margot looked between them, her expression polite but curious. “Please let me know if we can help you,” she said, addressing Kane. 

Kane shifted his gaze briefly to Margot before turning it back to Selene. 

“Are you coming with me or not?” he asked, his tone low but unmistakably commanding 

Selene could tell it wasn’t a question–it was a warning. But she wasn’t the type to back down. 

She crossed her arms and looked him square in the eye. “I told you that night–I’m tired. What new accusation are you going to throw at me this time?” 

Kane’s jaw tightened, but he didn’t snap back. “Did I say I came here for that?” 

“Then why are you here?” Selene shot back, her voice sharp but quiet enough for only him to hear. “Kane Thorne, if you want me to lose my job, just go to my boss directly and ask her to fire me. What else could I possibly expect from you? But at least spare her business–it’s not her fault.” 

Her tone was dripping with frustration, though she kept her voice to a whisper to avoid drawing more 

attention. 

Kane’s eyes flicked toward the customers, who were still staring at the two of them with obvious 

curiosity. 

“Can’t you all just mind your own business?” he said, his voice cutting through the room. 

Selene’s eyes widened in disbelief. “You!” she hissed, furious. 

But Kane ignored her and strode toward the counter, where Margot was standing. 

Stopping in front of her, he asked, “Are you the owner of this coffee shop?” 

“Yes,” Margot replied, her voice steady but cautious. 

Kane nodded slightly, reached into his wallet, and pulled out a card. He placed it on the counter, covering it with his palm as he leaned forward. 

“Your loyal employee here said I was disturbing your business. So I’m here to compensate you for the inconvenience,” he said, his tone calm but firm. 

Margot blinked, startled. “Oh, that’s not necessary- 

“I insist,” Kane interrupted. “And I also want you to arrange coffee for my company tomorrow morning.”

The room fell into stunned silence 

Selene’s mouth fell open, and the other employees froze. Even the customers were taken aback. Selene noticed how many of the women in the caté–both employees and customers were now gazing at Kane, their cheeks turning pink 

She rubbed her forehead in exasperation as she muttered under her breath, “Great. They recognized 

him.” 

Kane had always been a magnet for attention, especially from women. He was powerful, commanding, and, to their eyes, devastatingly handsome 

Margot, clearly flustered but trying to keep her composure, chuckled nervously. “Well, okay. What’s the name of your company? We’ll be happy to arrange that ” 

Kane didn’t answer. Instead, he moved his hand away from the card, revealing the embossed letters of his business name: Apex Industries. 

Margot’s eyes widened in shock. Her gaze shot up to Kane’s face as realization dawned. “Al–Alpha A- Kane?” she stammered, her voice trembling.
