Fiona’s POVI picked up my phone once again to call Zack but there was no reply. What was he doing that he would ignore me like that? He was supposed to answer my calls but instead he was ignoring me.I sent him messages but there was no reply. Calling his beta was a lost cause as that one didn’t even like me.I paced around the room wondering about my next cause of action.I loved how before he would call me for random sex. This had made me feel attached to him. I could almost feel his dick throbbing in me once again.But this time however, it was not the same way. This time it was different. He wasn’t calling anymore. I was sure he had forgotten I even existed.It was all because of that bitch, Kayla. Who did she think she was stealing my man from me? I had so many horrible thoughts towards her that I was sure I would be able to bring her down if I was ever left alone for a long time.I could have her kidnapped or killed or thrown into the middle of the ocean.It didn’t matter, so l
Fiona’s POVWho did she think she was to think Zack would accept whatever demands she requested?From all I could see her do in the palace these days, cleaning wasn’t one of them.Kayla was definitely being treated like a princess in this place.Zack let her be fed with the same royal treatment as the royal guests. Was this how it would be forever?I wasn’t even living in the palace or being treated royally. Of course this hurt because I was his fiancée and I was supposed to be treated with the highest level of respect and care seeing as I would soon be the Luna.“Before you say anything stupid,” I said to Zack. “I just want you to know that all I want is for her to be out of here. As your fiancée and future mate, I don’t want you making any mistake that could jeopardize the relationship we have.”It sounded like a threat but it was because it was a threat.Kayla did nothing but eat, sleep and rest. Was this how it would go on till she delivered? Then what would happen after delivery?
Zack’s POV“You ordered the murder of her mother,” I said with a grin. “This was all you.”“Are you mad? Placing blame on me that you know very well I did not do.”At that moment I knew he had forgotten about what he had done. “You, father made me kill a woman a few years ago. What was her name? Oh yes, Susan Deen. It turns out that the innocent woman I was sent to kill is actually Kayla’s mother. That Kayla is the woman I’m actively housing in this palace.”The man stared at me in shock. He was speechless and didn’t even know what to do. His argument faded in the background as I settled into a chair, watching him pace and talk about so many things that didn’t relate to the case at hand.“Here we go again,” I muttered while listening to him ranting.***Fiona’s POVAfter leaving the palace building, I reached the gate and suddenly had a change of heart.No. Instead of leaving without actually achieving what I came there to do, I would go back and handle it before leaving. He had no r
Kayla’s POVI stared at her in shock after she had said that. “What?” I asked in shock. The air got stuffy, my head was spinning and my strength was failing. Was this really the truth? Did Zack really do that?How could he? Was that why he was being nice to me? So that I would fall into his trap and he would do the same thing he did to my mother?How did he kill my mother? Did she suffer before she died?So many questions ravaged my head as I thought of a way to make things easier for myself by thinking of something else to alleviate the stress but it wasn’t working.The tears flowed out uncontrollably thinking of it with Fiona drawing her chair close to mine with an empathetic tone.“Oh you didn’t know?” she said, touching my arm as I shrugged her off. I didn’t want her pity. I was sure she was enjoying this. “I mean, I thought you did. That was the reason I brought it up right now. Because I can see how this must have affected you so much that you decided to end your life. That mu
Zack’s POVI had not expected that question from her and I nearly dropped my drink. How did she know? Did the beta tell her? Or had my father called her while I was gone?If I lied and she already knew the truth from any one of these men then I was screwed and she would not trust me again. I looked away from her which was a wrong move as she would see me as the guilty one who had killed her mother. Shoot! That was a terrible move and I was wrong to have looked away.“Oh my God,” she gasped, putting her hand to her mouth. “You did kill my mother.”I couldn’t lie to her anymore. The cat was out of the bag. There was no way of putting it back.“I can explain,” I said to my feet as she placed a hand to her lower abdomen, backing away from me. She was scared. The look on her eyes broke my heart as she was terrified of me.That was one look I didn’t want to see from her but she looked at me like I was some sort of monster.She wouldn’t even let me explain.I knew I shouldn’t have fallen f
Zack’s POV“Whatever you have to say, save it,” she spilled, grabbing her clothes from the wardrobe and dunking them in her bag. She wanted to get away from me by all means.She didn’t care how but she wanted to leave.“Kayla…”“What do you want to say again?!” she yelled. “I’ve heard all you needed to say. My mother is dead. I’m leaving. I can’t stay with the same person who murdered my real mother. I know what I had to go through with my fake one just to end up here.”“You seem to be so focused on your anger that you wouldn’t hear what I say,” I sighed. “I told you it was an accident. I don’t know. It’s not like I go around murdering everyone I meet. I mean… you’re still alive aren’t you?”She saw my point and plopped on the bed crying. She was confused and so was I. Fate had a funny way of playing its games and this was not the time for it. How was it that the one woman I had fallen for was a descendant of the woman I had killed?Why did it have to be her?!I sat down next to her,
Zack’s POVI didn’t go to the palace immediately, instead I headed for the mountains on foot.I had my security details go to the palace in their own cars and leave the car for me at the foot of the mountain.I didn’t know why I was being drawn here since she had not shown up at the palace last night.The climb up was stressful as usual but when I got to the top it was worth it.I found her sleeping on the cliff. That was dangerous and she could fall off if she wasn’t careful.I didn’t want to get close to her to wake her up so I sat on a rock by the edge of the cliff.“What do you want?” she asked, getting me by surprise.“You’re awake. I thought you’d be sleeping.”“Well I’m not.”“Does my scent bother you? Is that why you refused to sleep at the palace?”“I don’t think I want to stay in a place filled with murderers.”There was nothing I could say to counter that so I stood to my feet.“Let’s go to the palace, I have someone waiting for you.”She turned around to look at me with re
Zack’s POVWell that was rather interesting. How did he come to such a conclusion?“Why?” I asked. “The palace is the safest place in the entire kingdom. Why would you take her away when you fully well know she’s pregnant?”“I don’t doubt that there are very capable people here who would be happy to care for her but I still want to be close to her.”He was being stubborn at the moment. No reason, just stubbornness.“And did she agree to this?” He didn’t answer right away, giving me the answer I wanted.I nodded, leaning back in my seat. “Very well.”“So you do agree?”“I’d like to talk to her first. Call her here.”He bowed, leaving me alone for a while as I dwelled on what he had said.She really wanted to leave. I was guessing she didn’t trust me anymore. She hated me for my actions.What was I thinking? Did I expect her to see me and believe everything I said? That was funny.I looked at the door to hear approaching footsteps. The door opened with the woman walking in.My heart th
