Chapter 143

**Chapter 0143**

She got out of bed, unable to find real rest. Walking over to his drawers, she began to mindlessly search through them. Inside, she found nothing but some clothes that were probably his.

She let out a sigh as she realized that his clothes no longer fit him. Frustrated, she walked over to his nightstand to search through it too.

There wasn’t much in the drawer—just a box of condoms and some medicine.

Feeling even more annoyed, she decided to check his bathroom. She had hoped to find something useful there.

She had no idea what she was searching for. Perhaps she was hoping to find a sign that Judy had once been there. The only thing that might serve as a clue was an old shampoo bottle. She recognized it didn’t belong to Ethan because it wasn’t his brand. There was something about it that piqued her curiosity, but she couldn’t quite explain why.

Samantha found a stick of lavender deodorant that she knew didn’t belong to Ethan. Her heart raced in her chest. Could these things belong to Judy? She had to admit, she had no idea what kind of shampoo Judy used. She wished she had paid more attention.

It was clear that the bathroom had been cleaned recently. There wasn’t a single hair or a speck of dust anywhere. She let out a groan and walked out, closing the door behind her.

As she walked back to the bed, she suddenly stopped when she noticed a strap sticking out from underneath it. Curious, she bent down and pulled on the strap, revealing a laptop bag. She raised her eyebrows in surprise at what she had found.

Then, she remembered that Ethan had a laptop with him.

He had earlier placed the laptop somewhere, but why did he choose to put it under his childhood bed? Was he trying to hide something from her?

She sighed and set her bag on the bed. Then, she took the laptop out of it.

It was a brand-new laptop, and it felt heavy in her hands. As soon as the screen lit up, she bit her lip, excited about what she might discover.

The laptop was locked with a pin code.

She first tried Ethan’s birthday, but that didn’t work.

When that didn’t work, she decided to try celebrating her own birthday. Unfortunately, that also didn’t go as planned, leaving her feeling disappointed.

Next, she attempted to relive the day they first met, but that failed too. Tears filled her eyes, making her vision blurry. She felt overwhelmed and sad.

Irene sniffled as she wiped away the tears streaming down her flushed cheeks. She had one more date to check, and she dreaded typing it in.

She decided to try Judy’s birthday.

When the laptop unlocked, Irene felt her heart drop.

Tears rolled down her cheeks as she sniffled, biting her bottom lip to stop herself from crying out loud. She had been suspicious for a while, and now her fears were confirmed: something was happening between Judy and Ethan. They had both lied to her, and it hurt.

How could they do this to her?

She wiped away her tears and straightened her back. She needed to discover how deep her relationship really was. It was important for her to know the truth, especially since it was clear she wasn’t going to learn it on her own.

She looked through all of Ethan’s documents on his computer. Most of them were about business and had a lot of forms related to Alpha. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary at first. But then, she found a hidden file. It was labeled “Chapter.”

It was passcode protected. She felt a wave of nausea knowing she wouldn’t like what she found. Once again, she entered Judy’s birthday, and the file opened immediately.

Her heart shattered into a million pieces.

When she discovered the photographs hidden in the file, her heart sank. They were nude pictures of Judy!

Judy was lying in Ethan’s bed, and the realization hit her hard.

This time, she couldn’t hold back the tears. A distressed sob escaped her as she looked through each photo. Some of them featured Ethan, and the pain of betrayal washed over her.

Irene watched as Judy smiled widely, her arms wrapped around a man who was kissing her neck. It was a happy moment for them, but for Irene, it stirred up feelings of discomfort.

Bile rose in her throat as she thought about how long this had been happening. They had been sleeping together, but why were they lying about it? What was going on between them?

Did their relationship begin before or after he met Irene?

She had so many questions swirling in her mind that she could hardly think straight. She needed to find answers to these questions, or she would drive herself crazy.

She opened his web browser to check his recent searches. While browsing, she saw a tab for his social media. Curious, she clicked on it. She was already following one of his accounts, but she wondered if he had others.

Her breath caught in her throat as she realized…

One day, she discovered a social media account that she didn’t even know he had. It was set to private, so she couldn’t see much. His picture wasn’t used as the profile photo, and his name was shortened. This made it hard for her to recognize the account if she stumbled upon it.

She recognized him right away. Although she didn’t follow this account and couldn’t normally access the page due to its security settings, she was using Ethan’s computer. That meant she could see everything.

The pictures were…

Pictures of him and Judy were everywhere. There were photos of them holding hands and others of them kissing. Judy had tagged him in some posts, but it seemed she had stopped doing that after he met Irene. It looked like their connection had faded around that time.

Judy decided to disable her own account. As she scrolled through the pictures and posts, something caught her eye. In an instant, Irene’s entire world came crashing down.

It was a caption that Judy had written under a photo of herself and Ethan.

“I got to spend the day with my fated mate! I couldn’t be happier!! I love you so much, Ethan!”

Ethan replied, “You and me forever, babe! Love you more!!”
