Chapter 149: 149:Who did you kiss?

A second later, he pulled back. His chest heaved, and a devastating frown twisted his features. "Snow!" he cried out, his voice cracking with genuine, agonizing heartbreak. "Who did you kiss?!"

Nova was completely speechless. "How... how can they even tell?" She thought. "Didn’t Cassian just kiss me a second before you did?" She replied Alan, maintaining her sweet smile. "Did I even marry human beings?" She thought.

?"It is a different taste, Snow," Alan whispered, fresh tears pooling in his eyes as if he could read her mind.

?Before Nova could formulate a response, Cassian’s lethal voice sliced through the tension. "Nova, tell me you are not keeping another man. Did you run away to Australia just to be with him?!"

?"What? Of course not, I didn’t run away" Nova replied, her tongue tied by their overwhelming intensity.

?Cassian’s eyes scanned the lavish living room. Without another word, he released her wrist and bolted toward the grand staircase, his murderous aura suffocating the entire house as he went to hunt down the intruder.

?"Hold on, sweetheart! Wait!" Nova shouted, turning to chase after him.

?But Alan’s arms snapped around her waist like iron bands, pinning her in place. "Do you not want me anymore, Snow?" he asked, staring down at her with teary, desperate eyes.

?"Of course I want you. I want all of you, but—"

?Alan didn’t let her finish. He crushed his lips against hers, sealing her words in a fierce, aggressive kiss. The kiss deepened so violently that Nova couldn’t resist, her body naturally melting into his heat as she returned the embrace.

?"If Cassian finds the bastard, I swear I am going to beat the hell out of him," Alan thought fiercely. His eyes tracked Cassian’s movements upstairs, listening to the violent slamming of doors as he leared room after room.

The mere thought of Nova being alone with another man spiked a vicious, uncontrollable jealousy within Alan. His hands gripped her waist tightly, pulling her flush against him as he closed his eyes, his kiss turning rougher, hotter, and entirely possessive.

?Upstairs, Cassian tore through the mansion. He kicked open doors and checked every corner, but found absolutely no one. His instincts screamed that someone else was in the house, but after tearing through the rooms a second time and finding nothing, he let out a frustrated, helpless sigh.

?Cassian stormed back downstairs, only to find Alan devouring Nova in a kiss so intense it looked as though he was about to undress her right in the foyer.

?Cassian ground his teeth together. In three massive strides, he wedged himself between them, forcefully shoving Alan back and glaring daggers at him with jealousy burning in his eyes.

?Nova let out a breathless chuckle, touching her swollen lips. "Why are you so angry?" she teased gently.

?Cassian ignored her, marching over to the armchair and sitting down heavily. He didn’t speak. His brows remained tightly knitted, his dark thoughts swirling in absolute mystery.

?Nova sighed, walking over and sitting gracefully beside him. "Really angry?" she asked.

?"You kissed another man. Right or wrong?" Cassian demanded, his dark eyes locking onto hers, refusing to let her dodge the question.

?Nova smiled awkwardly. "Is it possible you just think I kissed another man simply because it has been a while since we kissed?"

?Cassian slowly shook his head, his gaze unyielding, silently demanding the absolute truth.

?"How did you know?" Nova finally relented, her eyes dancing with teasing amusement. "Or should I ask, how can you be so incredibly sure?"

?"Because you are my wife," Cassian replied coldly. "I pay attention to every single detail about you. Who is the person?"

?Nova scratched the back of her head, her smile turning sheepish. "Um..."

?"Do not pressure my Snow too much," Alan intervened, walking over to sit beside Nova and taking her hand firmly in his. "She just kissed someone. It is not like she is taking in a whole new husband." He smiled warmly at her. "Right, Snow?"

?Nova lowered her head slightly, avoiding eye contact. "Are you guys hungry?" she asked, her voice dripping with forced sweetness.

?Cassian and Alan just stared at her in dead silence.

?"Well, if you are not, then I am hungry," Nova declared smoothly. She reached over, pulled the breakfast tray on the table onto her lap, and casually resumed eating as if the suffocating tension in the room didn’t exist.

?"Snow, let’s go back home," Alan pleaded softly, rubbing his thumb over her knuckles.

?Nova nodded, swallowing her food. "I will. But I still have some business to handle here first. It will not take long. You can go ahead and arrange the private flight." She set her empty plate back on the table.

?"What exactly do you need to handle? Let me do it for you," Cassian offered, though his voice remained freezing cold.

?"You are still angry," Nova noted, a genuine smile gracing her lips as she studied his tense jawline.

?Cassian looked away, refusing to answer.

?"You didn’t see anyone in my house when you checked, did you? Besides, I just bought this estate," Nova reasoned, sighing softly.

?Cassian stared intensely at her for a long moment. "Forget it," he thought darkly. "This man had better just be a passing toy. Because if I ever find him, I will slowly tear him apart."

"?With the way this husband of yours is acting right now, if he finds out you took a fourth husband—and that it is Prince—he is definitely going to make his life a living hell," Anah’s voice echoed sharply inside Nova’s mind.

?"I know," Nova sighed internally, discreetly rubbing her temples. "By the way, how did Cassian fail to find Prince? He checked every room."

?"Prince is currently hiding inside your master wardrobe". Anah replied with a wicked giggle. "Cassian didn’t search your personal bedroom as violently as he searched the others simply because he was terrified you would find his jealousy too obsessive and hate him for it." She explained

?Nova pushed her cheek out with her tongue, a devastatingly sweet smile spreading across her lips as she realized how Cassian was being careful around her so he won’t make her angry.

?"Why are you smiling so sweetly?" Cassian asked, his eyes narrowing in suspicion again.

?Nova turned to him, her gaze softening completely. "I just find you incredibly adorable and cute when you’re jealous," she murmured. Leaning down, she pressed a soft, lingering kiss to his lips. "Do not be angry anymore, sweetheart. I promise I will make it up to you."

?The ice in Cassian’s eyes instantly melted, replaced by a burning, possessive heat. A warm smirk spread across his face. Without warning, he grabbed her waist and lifted her effortlessly, pulling her down to straddle his lap.

?"And exactly how are you going to make it up to me?" he whispered, his voice dark and husky against her ear.

?Nova’s smile widened. She leaned in, capturing his lips once more. She intended to pull back after a moment, but Cassian wasn’t going to let her off that easily. His large hand snaked to the back of her neck, tangling in her hair as he yanked her closer, plunging them into a deep, ruthless round of kisses that left her breathless.

?Alan watched them devour each other. The unbearable, searing heat of jealousy and desire burned so fiercely in his chest that he finally had to get up from the chair, turn around and walk out the front door, unable to stand the sight for another second.
