Chapter 155Stacey sat down on the table to have breakfast, savoring each bite as she took it. Her mind was free of worries, it was as if she was now living in a new world, a world that was hers and hers alone. The door opened as she looked up to meet Ronan walking in. Her hand halted in mid air as he stopped in his tracks too. For days now they’ve not seen each other, or talked to each other. She lowered her gaze back to her food and continued eating but her heart was now beating rapidly against her chest. He sat down opposite her, eating in silence as the maids started to serve him. She didn’t rush herself, or even glance up to make conversation with him. He did the same too, focusing on his food without looking up at her. Immediately Stacey finished eating, she drank her water, wiped her mouth and stood up. “Are you not going to say anything to me?” He said, stopping her in her tracks.Stacey sighed down, turning back to face Ronan and bowing.“I’m sorry, your highness. Is there
Chapter 156“What? What do you mean?” Lucien asked, his brows furrowed as he caught up with Stacey.Glancing at the hand on her arm, she looked up at him as he immediately released her, taking some step back away from her.“What do you mean by Lena telling Lucien about everything?”“You should ask her. Not me. Am I not the one having sex with him? Do you think you would want to tell me something like that?” She said, eyeing him annoyingly before walking out of the place. Ronan watched her leave, his head in turmoil. He chased after Stacey, blocking her way to pass.“I’m sorry, okay. I’m so sorry for pushing you away. I’m so sorry for not believing you. I’m sorry for the words I said to you. I was just angry that Lucien had the right to touch you.“He didn’t even touch me! We didn’t do anything! I’m just remembering that it was his priestess that touched me, taking the scars off and he just stood there.”“But still he saw you, he saw you naked stacey.”Stacey smiled, looking away from
Chapter 157Lena opened her eyes to darkness, sweats laced on her forehead as she tried to find light in the darkness. She sat up, trying to reach out to the bed lamp beside her and managing to turn it on. A yawn escaped her lips, finding out that she was the only one inside. Groaning, she fell back to the bed with her eyes staring wide at the ceiling.For the past days, she has been feeling down, recalling all the things she did back when she was young and feeling guilty for it. And not to talk, Stacey now knows that she’s feeding Lucien with information. She closed her eyes and clenched her jaw, not sure of what to think of herself. Was she more a betrayer? Or even someone worser than that as she was selling her family out? She climbed down after a while and had just taken the first step towards the door when the door opened, revealingvdtacey with a tray. She halted in her tracks, Stacey doing the same too as their gaze remained firm on each other for a moment. After a while, Stacey
Chapter 158“We need to watch her everytime. We need to make sure she’s not alone. Her thoughts are getting suicidal.” Stacey said, pacing back and forth in front of Ronan.Immediately she said her last words, she had been unable to refute it, leaving her dumbfounded and eventually Lena had required for her space.“What exactly did she say?”Stacey stopped and turned to face Ronan, her eyes widened, “she said, she doesn’t even know whether to die or to live. She said she’s caught in between the two.”“And why do you think it’s suicidal? What if she’s just been paranoid?”“Because Ronan, I’ve been there and I know how it feels to be caught between trying to live or trying to die.” Stacey retorted. Ronan sighed in, lost for words. He massaged his forehead, running his hand through his hair as he tried to figure what to do.“Do you think we need to call Lucien and sit with him?”“For what?”“He’s the one that’s clearly affecting her. Maybe if we sit him down, find a way to break the mate
Chapter 159“Your highness. They’re here already.” A guard came to tell Ronan inside the room.Nodding at him, he closed the door and returned to the bed, kissing Stacey on her lips as he stared into her eyes.“So what do you suggest we do now?” He asked.Stacey sighed. It was very fast for them to get here which means immediately they got the letter, they started coming or didn’t waste any time to ponder about it.“Set up a meeting. Question him. Ask what he wants and finally bring Lena in.” Stacey retorted.“Then we better get started,” Ronan retorted, slapping her butt cheeks as she stood up from the bed. The both of them entered the bathroom together, taking their shower amidst goggles and chuckles. Ronan was the first to bathe her, his eyes roaming around her no scar body and hoping to bend her to have sex with her. “Stop it. We don’t have much time.” Stacey cut him off, turning to bathe him too.Ronan was the first to dress up, leaving the room for Stacey as the maids entered t
Chapter 160“Ronan…“Go to your room, Lena. And stay there until I call you.”Lena’s face was crumpled into a frown, her fist balled up as she glared at Ronan. Ronan’s new guards stepped out, holding her lightly and pulling her away. Stacey moved towards Ronan, taking his hand in hers.“You were too harsh on her.” She muttered in his ear. “Don’t worry. I’ll call her back.” Ronan replied. Stacey nodded before they all started going to the meeting room. Lucien was seated on one of the chairs but immediately stood up as he saw them enter, a wide smile on his face with his hands at his back. “I’ve been waiting.” He said.Ronan pulled out a chair for Stacey, ignoring him as he took his seat. The two alphas at his back took their seats too before Lucien finally sat down.“I got the scroll.” “We sent it.” Ronan retorted, his face serious. Lucien glanced at all of them, the smile on his face growing wider as he finally settled his eyes on Stacey,“Do you like your new body?” He taunted a
Chapter 161Stacey sat there in shock, staring at the head of her father. All the nerves in her body stopped working, her heart immediately stopping too. The only thing she could see was his eyes, his black orbs staring straight at hers, this time not in anger, or in annoyance. Just there with no emotions in them. “Ahhhhhhhhhh!” She yelled out as her white light surrounded her immediateiy.Everyone in the room was flung to the back, the chairs and tables following and hitting various parts of the room. Stacey sat there as her heart started to beat rapidly again. A tear slid down her eyes as she looked at it. Hurt and pain spread through her. Her father wasn’t the best of man but that doesn’t mean she wanted him dead. The tears started to drop faster, her sobbing getting higher. The light surrounded her, not allowing anyone to move close to her. Lena’s heart hitched as she watched her seating there in pain, vengeance and anger brewing inside of her. Her eyes found Lucien, managing to
Chapter 162Ronan carried Stacey up, leading straight to the room. He has just placed her on the bed, his eyes staring down at her bosoms when she talked,“I'd like to be left alone. Please.” She muttered softly.Nodding at her, his eyes went to her face, trying to meet her eyes that were filled with nothing, no single emotions in them. He turned back and silently closed the door, making his way back to the visitors room. The alphas were still there, present with the doctor who was surprised and at the same time shocked with Lucien’s decapicated body.“Do you think we can heal him?” Ronan talked as he walked towards them.The doctor turned back to face him, his brows raised as he glanced back and forth between Lucien and Ronan.“I believe…I believe…” he stammered as he walked towards Lucien.Staring down at the man who acted like the devil, the man whom everyone knows as the devil, now on the floor with no hands, half arms, and with a bleeding body.“If we take him to my chambers now…
