Chapter 54Darien's POVBefore I could even say a word, Dora broke into tears."What's going on here?" Aisha questioned, walking out of the room."I didn't do anything wrong to him. I was only telling him he was wrong for treating you the way he did years ago. I was expecting him to feel bad or something, but instead, he began threatening me. I'm so sorry, Aisha, I didn't mean to confront you. I just feel bad for my friend and his kid; that was why I decided to confront you. Please don't kill me," Dora cried, to my almost surprise.Though I wasn't shocked, I was expecting something like this or even worse from her. I know she must make Alisha hate me so they can succeed in their plan, but this time I'm not allowing them to try anything funny."That's not what happened, Alisha. When I knocked on the door, she bumped into me. I ignored her and tried walking in, but then she blocked my path. I..." she cut me off before I could finish my statement."That's a very big lie, Alisha. Don't be
Chapter 55"What are you talking about, baby? I don't understand what you are saying. Come on, rest a bit more. The doctor said you need a lot of rest." I tried touching his forehead, but he moved away."Don't touch me, Mom! You don't love me like you claim." I could see tears in his eyes as he said those words."Don't say that, baby. Mommy loves you so much! Don't make Mommy feel bad, okay?" He scoffed. My eyes widened. This would be the first time he would be scoffing at me. I just pray I find a way out of this situation."Tell me, Mom. Why did you lie to me? Didn't you say you didn't know who he was? I asked you several times, but you denied it. Why?" I sighed tiredly. I should just tell him the truth since he's already aware of it. Lying at this rate will only make matters worse."I'm so sorry, baby. I didn't mean to lie to you; I was scared your condition would worsen if I told you in a hurry. I wanted to wait until you got better. I wanted to surprise you. I'm so sorry, Daniel,
Chapter 56She clenched her fist in anger and the maid started choking on nothing."You should learn to mind your business next time!" She tightened her fist in anger and the more she tightened her fist the more the maid choked.After a few minutes, the maid fell down and lost consciousness.The other maids gasped in horror."Anyone else? Who else wants to interrupt me?" She asked but the maids moved back fearfully."Good! No one should ever question me again! Except the person wants to lose her life this her" Dora pointed at the dead body on the floor.***Darien's POVI walked out of the hospital looking tired.I've been trying to convince her about her friend but she still refuses to believe me. She left an hour ago to get fruit for our son and I've been jisting with Daniel for the past hour. She came back just now and I'm currently leaving because I need to be somewhere by 9 pm.I walked out of the hospital only to come face to face with Henry.He had that mischievous smirk on hi
Chapter 57I was here when Dora came to me saying that the doctor was requesting to see me. I made sure the windows were tightly closed before I left, and I also closed the door. At first, I wondered why the doctor would call me at this hour of the night, so I followed her to be sure, and indeed the doctor sent for me!""Yes, I called you because I needed to ask you a few questions regarding his health. It's just that I can't recall sending a nurse named Dora; the nurse I sent was Grace. She's on night duty, so I happened to see her walk past, and then I asked her to help me fetch you.”"So you mean you didn't send Dora?" Alisha's eyes widened."I can't even recall any nurse who goes by that name," the doctor muttered."You see what I've been telling you about Dora? I just said this earlier today, and this happened. Just imagine if I had left the one you wanted me to," she sighed tiredly."Thank you, Darien. You've done a lot for me already; you just saved my son once again, and I'm g
Chapter 58What do you mean?" I raised a brow."I thought you'd know this better than anyone else. Come on, this is Henry's mom. It's not like there's anything anyone would say about it," my eyes widened."My stepmom? Didn't she die from my arrow that year? She's dead; it can't be her!" I shrugged, refusing to believe him."I'm not urging you to agree with me; I'm stating a fact here. Besides, how sure are you that she's truly dead?" I furrowed my brow, finding some sense in what he was saying."Take a look at this. She had a big mole on her left leg, remember?" I ruffled my hair in frustration.The whole thing was leaving me speechless."I remember," he brought the phone closer, then zoomed in after pausing it."I'm only starting to think about it now that you mentioned it. The aura around Dora seemed more like hers, but I didn't bother taking it to heart."How come you didn't notice it when you saw her running away?""How would I believe that she's the one when she's dead? Remember?
Chapter 59Wait, your wife didn't tell you about it?" Wren looked back to glare at his wife."Babe?" His wife walked out."Babe, who's at the door? I've been waiting for you to come back," she said, shocked to see Sonia standing by the door."Sonia?" She gasped."I was here only to see your husband asking who I was and what I was doing here. Didn't you tell him I was coming?" His wife gasped."What are you saying, Sonia? I told you I needed to talk to my husband about it. Seeing you here today isn't what we discussed!" Sonia frowned."Are you suddenly changing your mind because he's here? You told me I could come over anytime and that your husband wouldn't say a thing. You even told me your husband isn't much trouble and that he always does anything you say. Why are you suddenly acting like you have no idea what I'm saying?" She twitched her brow, glaring heatedly at Sonia."This better be a joke, Sonia. I won't tolerate you laying false accusations on me!" Wren, who knew her game, di
Chapter 60"Why are you still outside? Come on, come inside," Wren said from inside."You heard him; he wants me in. Get ready, baby girl. It's my turn to shine!"***Alisha's POV I stood up to get the door.I was shocked to see Dora standing at the door, smiling widely at me. I could see the deceit in her eyes as she smiled, but I couldn't just bring myself to believe she’d do such a thing."Are you okay?" she questioned when she noticed I wasn't smiling back at her. "Why can't I just bring myself to believe something that's already obvious?""I'm fine. Do you need anything?" I asked. I wasn't ready to let her in. She should stand outside and tell me whatever she has to say."I'm fine; I just came to check up on your son. How's he doing this morning? Is he okay? Did anything happen to him?" she questioned. What the hell kind of question is that? Wait, was she expecting something to happen to him? My gaze darkened. I can't remember mentioning anything to her or anyone."Why do you as
Chapter 61Darien's POVI walked into the room only to see Alisha's stepdad, or should I say my dad, sitting comfortably on the couch."Why are you here?" I asked moodily.Heaven knows I wasn't in the mood to argue with him; neither was I in the mood to drag him or even force him into doing anything. He should just let me be. I'm already going through a lot."Are you chasing me out of your home?" His eyes widened."If you think that's it, then fine. Please don't just come here to stress me. If you are here to argue or drag me, then come back tomorrow; I'm already occupied today," he chuckled."You should think twice before chasing me out of your home! I'm your father-in-law, remember?" I scoffed."Father-in-law? To whose daughter? Because I can remember you saying she's not your daughter, and besides, she hasn't forgiven you. Just leave and come back tomorrow," I blurted, taking a seat on the second couch."It's still not fair. I'm still your stepdad. At least I deserve some respect f
Chapter 162Darien walked down the highway leading out of the hospital. His dad had requested to eat some fruit, and he didn't want to send the guards, so he just did it himself."That's him, the alpha who killed Luna," an older woman pointed at Darien."Hell no! How dare he be this handsome? He's too handsome to be evil. I can't believe I've been dreaming of meeting him all this time. He doesn't deserve to be called an alpha," the lady, who anyone could tell was not mentally stable, said.She's probably the woman's daughter."I'm happy you finally gave up the idea of meeting him! He's not worth it!" Darien had to take a proper look at the girl. Was the old lady referring to that thing sitting beside her? Even a dog would reject that one, with her audacity to blubber nonsense even in her ill condition."Look, he's looking at us! Let's quickly leave," she whispered. Well, they had been whispering the whole time; Darien could hear it because of his hearing ability, not because they were
Chapter 161They all turned to see Darien standing beside them, his face burning with fury."We're sorry, my lord, we didn't mean to slander you. Please forgive us.""Yeah, you didn't mean to, but you were telling them how I was waiting for the sensation to die down so I could send her away or, rather, get married to her? Was there a time I told you I was in love with her? Or did I tell you I was going to free her after what she did to my Luna?""I'm sorry, my lord, that's not what I meant. I was only saying what I felt; please forgive me," the maid pleaded."I was only saying what she told me. She told me you promised to get married to her once the sensation dies down.""And you believed her? Not only did you believe her, but you came to tell the bullshit to the rest. If I hadn't come here, you would have boldly passed the message to them. I will only ignore this because this is the first time you are trying this nonsense! I won't take it lightly with you the next time you say such s
Chapter 160Sandra hit the door repeatedly as she watched Dora walk away.Sandra cursed and cursed at her until she was out of sight. She had barely left when a maid walked in with a tray of food."Take it back, I'm not hungry," she told the maid, who was still at a distance."Why should I take it back? You don't want to eat?" the maid asked curiously."I said I'm not hungry! Take it back to wherever you bought it from; I'm not eating or is it by force?" she yelled back at the maid."Why the sudden change? Didn't you just tell the guard to bring you food? I wasn't even ready to do it but the alpha told me to.""He asked you to bring me food? Was the Dora lady there when he said it? I don't think I have the strength to be answering these questions. If you aren't eating, then fine, but don't ever expect me to bring you food. If you reject this particular one, then consider the one you ate yesterday your last meal because there's no way I will be risking my health coming to this irritati
Chapter 159Dungeon* Dora followed the guard into the prison. Darien had agreed to let her see Sandra and have a few words with her.“There, ma'am, please don't go too close to her. She stabbed a maid who brought her food yesterday; she's looking for people to drag down alongside herself. She's holding a sharp object in her body, so you should not go near her,” the guard whispered to her."Sure, I won't go close to her. Thank you for telling me," she whispered back."Who do we have here? I've been hearing your name for some time; I guess I'm finally seeing your face."Immediately Sandra heard her voice, she quickly stood up and walked to the gate."Do I know you from somewhere? It's good to hear you say you've heard so much about me. I didn't know I was that popular.""Well, it's okay. I heard you killed Luna. That's so bold of you. I also heard you told the alpha you did it because you thought that was what he wanted. Who in God's name would want their mate dead if not a wicked witc
Chapter 158What? Do you want to see her? She's locked up, and why should I trust you that you won't do anything silly if I take you to see her?" Darien questioned."Oh, come on, I wouldn't have shown up here if I was still working for them. One thing I need you to understand is the fact that I never worked with them willingly. They fucking bewitched me; they made me do all sorts of mean things, and when I finally got myself back, they dumped me to suffer, just like they did to the Sandra lady.""Sandra? How come you know they sent her?""I don't need to be told by anyone because I heard it with my own ears. I heard them discuss it; they fucking sent her here for you, but she ended up doing otherwise, so they've abandoned her to face her fate.""How come she never mentioned any of this to me? She told me she came back because she was tired of staying with her friend, that's why she came back. I didn't even suspect anything, and trust me, everything that happened, I didn't know how it
Chapter 157Dora knocked on the gate for the umpteenth time; she'd been knocking for the past ten minutes, and funny enough, none of the guards came to open the gate. She just assumed none of them heard her, so she continued knocking.After some time, the gate finally opened."What is it? Can't you just understand the writing on the way and leave? On a normal occasion, the gate is usually open, so seeing it closed by this time, you were supposed to know the alpha doesn't want to see anyone, so just leave!" The guard snapped at her."I'm not leaving. Go in there and tell him I'm here to see him; he will surely come out to see me!" "Who are you? And why should I tell him you are here? Who are you to him?" The guard yelled."Go in and tell him Dora is here to see him.""Dora? Who's Dora? Why would you be coming here to look for him? The alpha is still mourning his Luna, so he's not in the mood to see anyone. Just go and return later. He will see you by then.""You don't just chase me aw
Chapter 156"So this is what you plan to do with me? Do you plan on dumping me like nothing when you've finally gotten what you've wanted? Oh wow! So this was it? You fucking want to dump me after everything. I can see, I've always known you, and your mom can’t be trusted, but trust me, I have a backup plan. If you think of bringing her back, brainwashing her to do your bidding, then leaving me like a fool, then you are wrong. You should be ready to face me tomorrow too. You both made my life this way, then you want to leave me to suffer? It's impossible!" They turned to look at her."Dora! How did you get in here? Didn't we agree you wouldn't come here to see me?" Henry asked, walking up to meet her."Oh yeah, you asked me not to come so you could do whatever you please. Yeah, you asked me not to, but I did anyway. If I hadn't come, then how would I have known what you have in store for me? I was a fool to have believed you loved me; you were only playing me! Oh wow, I have been fool
Chapter 155They both looked at her, pissed. Who would have believed they had been wasting their time telling her all this just for her to call it a story? She's mean.It took them so much effort to generate such a sweet story that matched her situation, but now she's not even close to taking what they said seriously."How could you say such a thing? We just told you everything that happened, yet you took it as a joke?" Emily scoffed in frustration."I'm not a kid. You just mentioned he's your stepson, so possibly you just want to use me to take revenge on him. You shouldn't stress yourself making up fake stories; I don't even know any of the people you just mentioned. So tell me, what do you need me to do for you? You saved my life, so you are my benefactor. Just tell me how you need me to help you. I don't remember anyone pushing me down the bridge. You know, I somehow have this feeling that you both are fudging these stories to tell me. You know I can tell when people are lying to
Chapter 154 Writer's POV:"No dear, that's not what you Heard, come on Come here," Michael told Daniel who was standing at the staircase listening to the conversations."Uncle please don't lie to me, tell me what happened to me mom, I know for sure that my mommy is not always, she would have been here like eye promised if everything was alright" Daniel insisted.Michael carried him in his arms then went back to place him on a seat and squat in front of him, the rest could only watch not knowing what or what not to say to the baby, he's a kid so on a norm he's not supposed to be told right away, but his constant resistance and the way he asked the question, it shows he already knew it, he was only asking to confirm."What happened to my mom, grandpa?" Seeing his Uncle Michael wasn't willing to answer him he turned to his grandpa."I'm so sorry dear, nothing happened, everything is alright, come on let's grandpa go cuddle you to sleep remember you asked for it in the morning," his gran
