Chapter 6

DAGNA'S P.O.V.

I looked at the chaos happening in the room and I slowly left and pain pierced my heart. All my hard work for the past few months was gone in just a blink of an eye.

"Dagna." His voice made me freeze.

“Don't you dare, call my name.”

“Dagna, please listen to me, I can fix this.”

“Fix this? You cheated on me with her, hell. You even have a child with her, and you dare to speak of fixing, I do not want anything from you Aegon. We are done.”

“Dagna please.” I turned around and left the hospital and immediately headed towards the woods as I ran as fast as I could in tears. 

I sat beside the lake as I quietly cried, and my body went cold as I heard a branch crack behind me. I turned around and came face to face with the man who had caused the fire that killed Ingrid's parents years ago and wanted to kill Aegon's parents, which made me sigh in relief.

“Oh, it's just you, Dad.”

“What are you doing here? You're meant to be with Argon and his family.”

“I broke up with him. He has a family with his mate.” I mumbled while looking away from him. 

“I gave you a single job, and you still failed to do it. Let's go home.” letting out a sigh, I knew it was impossible for him to believe any word I said right now. 

We walked home and the moment we got in he looked at me with anger written all over his face. 

“What the fuck were you doing in the house? It's been three months, and you did absolutely nothing on what I asked you to do, and you dare to tell me that you broke up with him!”

“Dad I tried my best, I couldn't secure a child with him as he kept thinking about her and not having time for me.”

“Then why the fuck are you a woman? You can lure a man if you really want to! Aegon is easy to deceive, but on the other hand, stupidly fell in love with him and let him do whatever he wanted!”

“I tried my best! Why can't you see that?”

“You didn't do anything good, Dagna. I needed that bastard out of my way many times but of course you as his girlfriend let him wander off into the woods looking for a woman who was his mate, what the hell do you think will happen.”

“Dad, you say it as though it is my fault. He cheated on me three months ago, his father humiliated me many times, his mother told me I was not part of the family as they didn't like me! I had to put up with all that because of your stupid plan of getting him and his family killed!”

“Don't you dare speak to me that way.”

“Then appreciate what I've put up for you! It's been the same old story ever since I was little. I had not put up with your demands, yet you never asked for what I wanted and now that's I finally found one thing I wanted, you hate it so much.”

“Aegon isn't the man for you, and you already saw that! You are a disappointment Dagna, go to your room while I think of the next job to give you and hope you don't mess it up!”

“I wish mum was still….” He slapped me across the face so hard and tears filled my eyes as I looked at him in shock. 

“Never call that woman's name in front of me, now go to your room!” He yelled and tears rolled down my cheeks like droplets of rain upon a window glass.

I walked away slowly as I recalled memories of my mother. It's been three years since she left, with no warning, no letter, no reason why she left, she just left and never came back until a year ago when we saw her fully pregnant and happy with another man.

It scattered both of us so much and worst of it all, when we tried to approach her she claimed she didn't know who we were and how she had never seen us in her life. Dad became angry and even her name alone could trigger that anger, but many times I wished she had carried me along with her. 

I missed her so much.

Reaching for my bedside cupboard, I pulled out a portrait of her and held on to it as I cried softly. It was the only thing I had left of hers. Dad had taken everything, but he couldn't find this one as I hid it away. 

“Dagna?” I heard his voice and I immediately pushed the portrait underneath my pillow before turning to look at me. 

“What do you want?” I asked as I turned back to face the window of the room and I felt him sit down on the bed. 

“I made dinner.”

“I'm not hungry.”

“Look I'm sorry, I know you've tried your best and I shouldn't have yelled at you that way plus she still makes me furious, I couldn't control myself.” He placed his hands on my back and I held on to the pillow as I tried not to burst into tears, I knew he meant none of what he said. I knew him too well.

“I'm her daughter, and whether you like it or not, I miss my mother. I agree she abandoned us for some rich man, but she's still my mother and that doesn't change.”

“Dagna can we just put this entire thing aside and concentrate on what we have ahead of us.”

“There are many times I want to speak about her, but of course you don't like it. You don't show you love me, you only use me as a toy all my life.”

“I'm doing it for you…"

“You're not doing anything for my Dad, why don't you see that?”

“Then go and meet that whore of a mother of yours!"
