The Billionaire Alpha’s Contract Lover by Caesar Erickson novel Chapter 25

Chapter 25
Taya slowly raised her hand and wiped away the red wine on her face before replying faintly, “Yes.”
Roman bent down slightly and studied her carefully. “How?”
“I know I look like Ms. Thorin, so one night while delivering files to Alpha Knight, I added wolfsbane to his drink, hoping to seduce him and make him sleep with me. But he wasn’t affected, and he kicked me out right after. Maybe that’s why he called me dir ty and cheap.”
Her words dispelled half of Roman’s doubts.
He initially thought there was some kind of sexual, or even romantic, connection between Griffon and Taya.
After all, if a man and woman became involved with each other, something like that was bound to happen.
But he hadn’t pegged Taya as a social climber who had her eyes set on Griffon to earn his love, only for her plan to backfire and earn his disdain instead.
However, Roman was also confused about her intentions, and why she would target Griffon.

of a wolf, or if she was looking to get money from someone rich and powerful, how could this girl have been so stu id as to target Alpha Knight?
The only thing that made sense was that she wasn’t actually after those things and harbored some misguided affection for him that would never be returned by someone as cold as Griffon.
Taya added, “I’ve always wanted him.”
There was a dim light in her eyes, glimmering with something like love, which made Roman somewhat believe her.
“So that’s how it is, huh?”
His mind put to ease for the time being, Roman pulled Taya up and made her sit on his lap.
What did he care about her love for someone else? He wasn’t looking for a mate, wasn’t looking to keep Taya around after he got what he wanted from her. She wasn’t suitable mate material in the first place. A woman with no wolf? Pfft.
He wiped the red wine from her face and neck with cold fingers, his other hand straying over her body.
“Baby… I didn’t expect you to be so bold as to try and bait Griffon into sleeping with you.”
Had he been in Griffon’s shoes, he would have taken the bait. H ell, he wouldn’t have even needed to be drugged with wolfsbane to sc rew the delicious little Taya.
