Chapter 3

After the wedding venue was confirmed, my father urged me to finalize the overall plan quickly.

To apologize for not being able to help me prepare for the wedding, Sebastian had someone deliver a black card from Geneva.

I made an appointment for a consultation at the planning company's uptown showroom.

When I arrived, I found Callum just walking out of the VIP room.

"Lucia?" Callum stopped, looking at me in surprise. "What are you doing here?"

I said softly,

"Finalizing the wedding plan."

"Lucia?" Callum's expression instantly turned cold. "Are there no other Alphas left in this world? Why do you have to cling to me? When did I ever say I'd marry you?"

I looked at him calmly and replied lightly,

"Callum, I told you—I'm not marrying you."

His face darkened as he scoffed,

"You deliberately chose to come here on this day, and you still say you don't want to marry me?"

He glanced toward the VIP room, his eyes full of affection.

"I already told the pack last night to cancel the arranged marriage with you. Even if the whole family disagrees, I'm marrying Lillian! She's my destined mate!"

I smiled politely and said softly,

"Then congratulations to you both. I'm getting married to someone else soon too. Our engagement agreement is already void."

I gestured for Callum to move aside, but he stared at me intently, refusing to budge.

"Lucia, what game are you playing now? Besides this arranged marriage, who else could you marry?"

That's when Lillian walked out. She called out in surprise,

"Callum, what are you two doing?"

Callum immediately turned and quickly walked to Lillian's side, trying to hold her hand.

Lillian dodged slightly, and he immediately understood.

"I'll clean my hands right now. Wait for me!"

My eyes met Lillian's. Hers held unconcealed contempt and triumph.

Just then, planning director Emily rushed over.

"Miss Lillian, the wedding package you wanted to confirm has already been reserved. Please look at something else."

Lillian glared at Emily unhappily.

"My fiancé is the heir to the Ash Pack Alpha—he has power and influence!

He said I can book whichever package I want. He can afford it all!"

Then Lillian turned to look at me with malicious intent.

"Besides, even engagements can be canceled, let alone a reserved package."

Emily looked at me, almost in tears.

I didn't want to make things difficult for Emily, and sharing a package with them would be unlucky anyway.

I smiled at the staff indifferently.

"Emily," I took out the black card Sebastian gave me. "I remember you designed a private island wedding for Nordic royalty?"

"I want a similar plan, but don't repeat any elements."

Callum came out just in time to hear this. He looked at me coldly.

"Lucia, I told you the person I'm marrying is Lillian. I will never marry you. Why are you still pestering me here!"

"Also, do you know the price of a private island wedding? One million! What are you going to pay with?"

I smiled and handed the black card to the staff.

"No need to think about it. Can we sign the letter of intent today?"

"Of course! I'll have the manager come down to personally assist you right away."

Under Callum's shocked gaze and Lillian's resentful stare, I turned and left.
