The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan)

Chapter 535

Alana was hellbent on constructing her own commercial empire, as much as she was intent on

relinquishing her maidenhood. In the UK, she watched as August's interest in her waned day by day.

She believed his growing disinterest was due to her refusal to sleep with him, misinterpreting his

intentions.

From the get-go, Thomas harbored a crush on the movie star Alana. She, in turn, was impressed by

Thomas' business acumen. Their mutual attraction led to an affair. Thomas aided Alana in establishing

her film production company and also became her first lover. Having gained both prestige and

pleasure, Alana coldly discarded Thomas and returned to the UK to seek out August, only to find that

he had vanished from his home, leaving behind only Judy.

Furious and humiliated, Alana ascended to the attic to lash out at her sister. In her eyes, it was all her

sister's fault that August had abandoned her.

Alana laid into her sister with punches and kicks, sparing only her sister's unborn child. She wanted to

wait until the child was born to make her sister's life a living hell...

Alana didn't bother to look for August. To her, men were mere playthings, dispensable in her quest for

solitude.

She set about building her empire, adhering to the belief that money was the only reliable ally, the

strongest support. Yet, no matter how much wealth she amassed, it could never match the fortune her

ancestors had accumulated over ten generations. The secret to that wealth remained with her father,

who had never disclosed it to her, which was the sole reason she spared his life.

When October arrived, the real Alana gave birth to a daughter, a delicate and beautiful baby girl, who

became the only solace for her confined sister. For a time, Alana seemed kinder and even improved

her sister's meals. But this was only temporary; her true aim was to drive her sister to madness.

As her sister grew plumper and the baby more cherubic, she deluded herself into thinking Alana had

developed a conscience and wanted to treat her better.

But who could fathom the thoughts of a devil?

One day, Alana climbed to the attic, scooped up the infant, and mockingly said, "Should I play the

doting auntie? But, do you really think you deserve to be a mother in this place? I think not. How about

I find someone else to take care of the baby?" NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

"No!!!" The real Alana screamed in anguish, fully aware of her sister's venomous nature and ability to

commit the worst atrocities.

Pleased by her sister's agony, Alana felt a twisted joy. She wanted her sister to suffer as she had

suffered, only tenfold. Alana took the child away, and that very day, her sister lost her mind.

Cordelia felt nauseated, overwhelmed by Alana's demonic actions. There was no line Alana wouldn't

cross, no depravity beyond her reach. Cordelia even questioned what relation they truly held, her body

trembling at the thought.

Both sisters had been given an emerald ring at birth. Without a second thought, Alana removed her

sister's ring and placed it in the baby's crib, leaving the child on the doorstep of a family in Birchwood.

Castiel and Shelley of the Haselwood family, took the child in.

Alana's intentions were far from benevolent. She didn't plan to find the child later; she sought to

continue her vengeance against anyone bearing her family name...

Later, Castiel met an untimely death. Whether Alana had a hand in it remained a mystery, for she had

found the child through the ring and probably didn't know Castiel was the father. After abandoning the

child, she devoted herself to her business pursuits.

Even if she had been involved in Castiel’s death, a person as cunning and ruthless as Alana would've

covered her tracks, avoiding any legal entanglements.

Alana had simply discarded the child, indifferent to who might find it. At that time, she was busy

manipulating her commercial interests. A mere infant held no allure for her; her actions were solely to

spite her sister.

Cordelia stood in shock. Indeed, Alana truly was a monster.
