- Giselle -

I did not pay attention to most of the conversation in the room as I battled with my drowsiness, suppressing my yawn.

I was tired from doing nothing and I couldn't wait to get back to my bed. I was almost detached from my environment.

Zeba kept glancing at me from time to time but couldn't care less. She picked a drink in front of her and walked towards me.

"Giselle, why are you so quiet," she asked cheerfully as she approached me. I eyed her suspiciously. Her decisive steps suggested she was up to something.

She stood beside me and nudged me.

"Why are you holding in, is anything the matter?" She asked with a smile.

"I'm fine," I replied grudgingly as I tried to move away.

"You don't look fine," she held me back. "Here, you should have a drink."

"No," I shook my head but she brought the cup to my face. Immediately, the nausea that had been lingering in my belly rose like tides of water.

I ran away with my hand over my mouth and the other on my belly. I was sure eyes follow

  • Dear Ex, Your Father Is My Mate   Chapter 038

    - Giselle -My heart raced in my chest and I was sure my face was white with worry as well. While I waited for the doctor's report, I had a train of thoughts and regrets.With each consideration, I saw every reason why I could be pregnant. Why did I not pay attention to this in the first place till Father noticed?What if it turns out to be true? What am I going to do?"The result shows that the princess is about two weeks pregnant," the doctor said, and I watched father's face fall.My heart dropped as well and my breath was hitched."Thank you, Max," Father said to the doctor, but I could hear the effort in his voice to hold his emotions. "You may leave."I did not want the doctor to leave as much as I did not want him to remain as well. But there was no way I would avoid Father's confrontation."How?" Was the only thing he said after the doctor had gone. That was easy to answer but tough to say. I knew how, however, it would be best not to say.If he had asked why...? That I had no

    - Franklin -"I am the one responsible," I said, and all heads turned to me. There was a dead silence in the room."Did I hear you well, Alpha?" One of the elders said."You did."I couldn't stand there and hear them say things about Giselle. There was no point hiding after all. She is pregnant and that's my child. And I am no coward. I will not shy away from the responsibility because I am afraid of what people will say.I am not afraid of anyone and don't care."Father?" Xavier threw his mouth open. "No. I know it's not true. I know also that you like Princess Giselle and that's why you have always wanted her as a bride for me. But you cannot defend her to this extent. You can't try to cover her shame by claiming you're the father of her child.""You are mistaken, son," I replied calmly. "I am not trying to defend her. I am taking responsibility for what belongs to me.""What you are trying to say is, you slept with the princess?" He asked and I scoffed. That was a ridiculous questi

    - Giselle -For several hours, my face was buried under my pillow and I did not leave my room nor eat anything.I did not know what was happening outside and did not want to know. But I need not anyone tell me it was chaos and all hell had broken loose.This was not the plan. The plan was to get revenge on Xavier and not fall in love with his Father or, worse, get pregnant with his child.How will I carry on with my plan now? Firstly, I have father and the people to worry about. I couldn't face the council of elders.The door creaked open, and Father walked in holding a tray. He did not say a word till he was seated beside me."Get up and eat," he said quietly. I sat up and lowered my gaze."Father I am sorry," my voice cracked. "I am so sorry for disappointing you.""That's fine," he said simply. "Here, eat up. You haven't had anything to eat for long and that's not healthy for you or the baby."He handed me the food and I began to eat slowly."When did your affair with Franklin star

    - Zeba -I pace around in my room, my chest burning with anger and my limbs literally shaking. I cannot believe I came over here for Franklin to make a fool of me.I thought I could have a chance with him but not only did he reject me, but he chose that...that...I sighed in frustration, not finding the words to call her.Godamnit! Everyone had envisioned me and him together. We were made for each other. But I cannot take this disrespect."My Queen," someone called and I turned round angrily."What?" I half yelled."I am so sorry my lady," my assistant bowed. "I was told you sent for me."I took in a deep breath to stay calm."Prepare my ride and everything that belongs to me," I told him. "We are leaving and today too.""But my lady, you have not concluded your business proposals," he told me and I could feel the hot breath that escalated out of my ear and nostrils."Did I ask you to talk?" I asked him menacingly."N...no, my lady," he stuttered, moving back."Do you still love your j

    - Zeba -My heart began to fail me, remembering all the desires and wishes I had towards Franklin and how I wouldn't want to give that all away was worth fighting for.I had never felt for any man the way I felt for him and I doubted if I would ever be able to find any. Despite my hurt, I let down my ego and tried to talk him into seeing reasons with me."Franklin..." I called softly. "I don't know what to do and I have never cried for a man nor feel the way I do. This is going to break me forever. I need you to know how much I love and care about you. I need you to know I haven't been with any man because you have always been the one I wanted. I might not have told you before now, and that's probably the mistake I made, but I was just disciplined as much as you were not to bring emotions into our relationship. All that I did because I did not want to lose you.""Zeba..."I even thought you did not want a soft and feminine woman because you are tough so me talking about my feelings wi

    - Giselle -I rubbed my belly gently. It was hard to believe a baby was growing in there and Franklin's baby, too. The goddess might be using my life for a show. My subconscious told me I couldn't blame the goddess for everything when I was also the one who let Franklin touch me.However, I am not the one responsible for the feelings I had, am I? My door opened, and I jumped slightly in fright.Xavier stood before me like I stole something that belonged to him."You bitch," his curse greeted me first. "So this is your plan. You seduced my father and got pregnant for him. What were you thinking?""The same thing you were thinking when you got my maid pregnant," I retorted. "This is just a dose of your medicine, and you are sounding like you cannot take it? How did you think I felt when I found out about you and Kira? Two can play the game, you know.""Giselle, what you don't understand is you are a woman, and I am a man. I can have multiple women, and you cannot. You were betrothed to

    - Giselle -I was in a state of shock for a few seconds, trying to get myself."Are you okay?" Franklin asked with concern in his eyes as he placed a hand on my face. I nodded slowly."Come on, I told you all will be fine. You've got to trust me, okay? All will be fine. Let's go."I was barely listening to him. Cold shivers ran down my spine as the memory came down to me. What the hell is going on? And why am I seeing this now? I began to wonder if my mental health was okay or if there was something behind this that Xavier was not telling me.Could it be that I was thinking too much? I wanted to ask him who Odessa was and if she had any connection with him, as I see in what seems to be my imagination, but there was no time.The Lords were already in the palace and waiting. Franklin dragged me slowly along because my feet felt like jelly.The entire palace, if not the entire pack, was still and quiet with fear. I, in particular have never met the Rulers of the origin.I have heard of

    - Giselle -"No?" The Lord repeated in the deadliest voice I have ever heard in a while. "Did you hear him?"He turned to his colleagues."Can you imagine the effrontery? He said no. I have him a chance to correct his deeds and save his ass and he fucking said no.""No just because you want to separate me from my family and take my child's life," Franklin shot at him. "They are now my family. I will not allow anything to take them away from me.""Do you realise the consequences of your actions?" Another asked.No this was it. I cannot let them make any drastic decisions against him or my father. If this was just about me then it was fine, but father was included. If they were giving us a chance then we had better take it."Franklin please," I pleaded with him. "Just do whatever they say please.""We will do no such thing," Franklin half yelled, startling me. "I told you to keep out of this and let me handle it."I looked at Father. He kept his head down and did not say a word."Alpha

    - Jason -I instinctively placed a hand on my stomach, waiting to feel any slight pain."Did you poison me?" I asked him. The seriousness dropped off his face, and he laughed. Morgan laughed long and hard, doubling over. He hit his fist on the table while he laughed, and I watched him, dumbfounded.He finally struggled to control the laughter with a wheezing sound, tears in his eyes."Gosh, you need to see the look on your face," he said. "I did not poison you, silly."I let out a deep breath I had not realized that I was holding."Now, why will I want to kill you and choose to do it by poisoning your food?" He asked, taking a cup of water from the table. He gulped it down and shook his head at me. "You looked so shaken. Are you that scared of death? For someone like you, poisoning is a disgraceful way to die, for even if I wanted to kill you, not that way."He laughed again."Morgan, that was not funny," I had to say."You think? You looked like a wrung chicken. You looked like your

    - Jason -I had just finished speaking with Alpha Sheka about very important matters of the pack and was about to leave when he called me back."That reminds me," he said. "I need to invite you to a banquet tonight. I was going to tell you earlier but I skipped. Also because of the matters at hand you know.""I understand alpha," I replied empathetically. "Where'd we get the invitation from now?""Oh it's not far," he said with a suspicious movement of his lips that could pass for a smile. "It's from my son.""Oh, that's interest...what!?" I was saying before my brain registered what I heard."Yes, my son, Morgan. He arranged the banquet specially made for me and you," he repeated and I still could not believe my ears."Did he say he wanted me at the banquet?" I still asked because I could not make sense out of it yet."He made a special request for you to be there. You are surprised, aren't you? Well, I am too. I hope you don't mind the banquet. I've always thought you two were...uh,

    - Jason -It took me a few seconds after I returned to my room, to notice someone was there. I turned around with a displeased frown on my face."What are you doing here, Morgan?" I asked him."It's Prince Morgan but yeah, I think I can let that slide since it's you and also seeing that you'd always stress me with having to correct you all the time," he said with a grimace."What are you doing in my room?" I sighed."I'm here to talk," he replied with a shrug. "Can't I talk to you?""What are we talking about and why in my room? Official meetings are not held in the bedroom.""That's it," he snapped his fingers. "Because this is not an official business.""I cannot tell when we began to have an unofficial relationship," I stated and he laughed."Maybe if you were paying attention more, you'd remember that I did mention it.""I don't want to be acquainted with you, Morgan," I said to his face. "I am fine the way we are.""Come on Jason, don't make this hard," he said, relaxing his back

    - Cleopatra -I eyed the greedy man and scoffed."What do you mean by this is not enough? Do you want four generations' wealth before you're okay?" I scowled at him."My lady, you know what it caused us to be able to cover up for you. And I have other people to settle and keep their mouths shut. You will have to remit more."I sighed tiredly."Okay fine. I am going to give you some more but that will be it. You must not complain nor ask me for anything after that. And you must not try to contact me because we can never be seen together. Do you understand?""Clearly," he replied."Good."I was able to handle him without anyone finding out about it, and I hoped it remained that way. Anna has promised to keep her mouth shut and only say what was agreed on if Giselle finds her, but I couldn't trust her.How could I hold her to her words? I looked into her eyes and saw the fear. Such a person can be easily l

    - Giselle -I was very eager for the reports, but I was disappointed."There were no prints," the experts told me. "The old lady poisoned herself to death.""You're trying to tell me she took her own life?" I asked for clarity even though I heard them. I felt like asking them why, but knew they wouldn't have an answer to that.The midwife was well, according to the reports given to me hours before I went to see her, and then she poisoned herself?This doesn't make any sense to me."There has to be a reason why this happened," I said thoughtfully as I paced around the room. "Why did she take her life? What made her do it?"I lifted my head, and Franklin was barely paying any attention to me."What do you think about this?" I asked, and he looked at me."I don't know," he said with a shrug."You don't think she'd take her life for no reason, right? What must have made her do it? Did someone threa

    - Giselle -"What?" I asked, my eyes following the direction of his hand. There was something at the edge of the bed, and I walked towards it.An old woman, obviously the midwife, was lying dead on the ground in the corner."Oh gracious heavens," I muttered, placing a hand on my chest. One of the guards moved close and picked up a bottle lying beside her."Looks like a poison," he said, lifting the bottle to his face and observing it. She had foam all over her mouth, and her body looked fresh like she could have died just a few minutes before we arrived.How did we not even notice all this while? And I looked all over the room. There were no signs of death anywhere.Gosh, I was this close to getting her, I lamented."Looks like murder," Another commented, what was going through my mind."What do we do now?" They asked me after moments of staring at the cold body beneath.

    - Kira -"Well?" Mother asked as soon as I got into the room. "Have you been able to find out something?""Nothing yet," I told her with a sigh. "And there are no signs to show me exactly what is happening.""I am sure that lady is up to something," Mother said thoughtfully with a finger on her lip. "I can tell it. She came to me and asked some questions, and that's typical of someone who wants to go looking for answers."I turned to look at her properly with some suspicion."You are not sure what she is up to? I think you should know since she discussed something with you. You think it's related to that," I pointed out."She said she just wanted to know a few things about her mother and asked me because I was Meredith's maid. At a point, I thought she was just asking because she wanted to know what her mother was like, but now I think something else is triggering her.""So? Is that something that should worry you? Do yo

    - Kira -I pushed his hands slowly off my body."There is no man but you, Xavier," I said quietly. "And yes, maybe I have a couple of male admirers, and I look at a few men, you've been the only one in my heart and the man I want to spend my life with. If only you had made moves to make me yours legally, maybe we wouldn't be here. Maybe I wouldn't even be looking at another man and admire him because I already have you.""Kira," he called softly, calming down. "Gosh, how can I be so insensitive? I'm so sorry, honey. I'm so sorry. I did not mean to make you feel this way.""Xavier, I have been asking you what you intend in this relationship. I have been the only one pushing, and it's not fair that you make me go through this, then think I am seeing someone.""You are right," he said. "I shouldn't have said that. I was just overwhelmed because you didn't sound trusting anymore, and most women sound like this when they have a man loving them somewhere, so I was worried. Look, I love you

    - Cleopatra -"What do you mean?" Anna looked at me questioningly."You know me well, my dear. I always keep to my word unless it's almost a matter of life and death, and in this case it is," I said, and she leaned back on the chair, her eyes not leaving mine."If that's the case, I don't think I have so much to worry about. I'm already on the end road of life.""This doesn't concern you alone," I said with a frown, slightly annoyed with what she just said. "I am involved in this too, and if you're too excited for the journey of the afterlife, then I am not, and this is not the way I want to go.""Too bad for you then, and why are you telling me? What can I do for you?" She threw at me, and I took a deep breath, holding in my anger."If it had nothing to do with you, I wouldn't be here," I said. "Now, will you shut your mouth for a moment so I can speak? You don't even know what I am here for.""It's almost not hard to tell, but anyway, you can go ahead.""After all these years, Frank
