Chapter 26

SERENA

“I’m sorry for my mistakes.”

He leaned down and tapped my shoulder.

“Get up.

“What?! No way in hell! She tried to seduce my husband and you think a flimsy apology would suffice? I would not stand for this. I don’t care what she means to you!”

It was at this moment I realized that Amelia’s hatred for me had blocked her capability to have a brain. Because if she did have one, she would know that it was impossible for me to drag her husband into this room.

I was sick of being in this house, I was sick of the way everybody treated me. Ever the person who I’d thought would be there to protect me, seeing that I was pregnant for him, was the one who was even hurting me more.

“What else do you want from her? Her blood? She has apologized, now let it go.”

He leaned down and pulled me up by my hand.

“You may go.” He whispered in my ear.

brushed past him and all of them, running outside the house, and even when I wanted to stop, my feet wouldn’t just stop moving. I wanted to get as far away from them as possible.

I couldn’t believe Kane would do that to me. After everything that we shared in the past, he turned around to be my enemy

now.

For what? What would he gain from doing such a thing to me?

Men were untrustworthy creatures. The fact that he had a smile on his face while I apologized to him instead of feeling bad about what he had done made me so hurt.

Somehow, I wanted to blame myself for what happened but how would I do that? I didn’t leave the table with the intention of making him follow me I wasn’t even thinking of that. And I did try to push him away.

He was married to Amelia and that fact alone made it unreasonable to kiss him.

Because of his act today, all the feelings I had for him had died and were buried. I would never be that stupid ever again.

When the tears finally stopped coming, I looked around and realized that I was quite far away from the house. I got up from the floor and dusted my dress. My stomach was already rumbling because I needed to eat and it was quite cold out.

I wish I could go somewhere else and never return to that house again but I couldn’t. I swear, if I run into Kane, I’ll kill him.

When I got back into the house, the table had been cleared and there was no one

downstairs.

Or so I thought.

“Where were you and where are you coming from?”

Lucy.

I turned around slowly to see her standing behind me with her hands crossed behind her back.

Chapter 26

I didn’t think I could take any more bullshit again. I just wanted to go to my room and go to bed since I couldn’t eat anything.

“I’m sorry.

I turned around to leave but she stopped me.

“Aren’t you the one I’m speaking to? How dare you try to walk away from me?”

I sighed and curtsied.

“I’m sorry-”

She slapped me and maybe it was the fact that I’d had experience from her abuse that it didn’t hurt.

“I don’t need your stupid apology. It’s disgusting enough that I have to touch your face. Where on earth are you coming from?”

“I went to get some air.”

She laughed.

“Air? And what makes you think a slave like you can get air? After trying to seduce my son–in–law? You have to be joking. I thought your mother trying to take my husband was the worst thing she could ever do but I was wrong. Giving birth to you was the worst thing she could ever do. She took away my husband’s love for me and now you’re trying to do the same from my daughter. Is it because I asked you to leave him?”

I had a lot of things in my mind to say to this woman concerning the things she just said to me, but it would just escalate this matter, so I shut my mouth.

“I apologize for my actions once again.”

I turned around to move away again and this time around, she didn’t stop me. I looked forward to the day I would be able to tell this woman the way I feel about her without having to care for anything in the world.

Maybe by that time, I would have gotten my kid out of this pack so they can’t threaten me with them and even if they wanted to banish me, that would even be better. At least, I would be free from this torture.

“Mother, what do you think you’re doing?”

I turned around, surprised to see Alpha Dimitri holding his mother’s hand above my head..

“What? I wasn’t doing anything.”

He sighed..

“Mother, I’ve told you not to touch her again.”

Your mother was deaf.

“I wasn’t going to hit her. I’m just trying to touch her hair.”

How dumb was this woman?

Alpha Dimitri gave me a look. At least, he wasn’t stupid enough to believe that. Good for him.

He dropped her head and she gave me a look before she walked away.

“Come with me. I need to speak to you.”

Chapter 20

What did he want? I didn’t want to speak to him or his mother of anybody in their house for that matter.

I followed him silently to his room and closed the door behind the.

“I’ll ask you a very simple question. What happened today? Was Kane telling the truth, or did something else happen?”

This was funny. Why was he asking me that now? Why couldn’t be have asked me back then?

“You already believed what you wanted to. So yes, I’m guilty. Yes I seduced him. It was my fault and I’ve apologized just like you wanted me to do. What else do you want from me?!”

I was expecting him to slap me for some reason. I should have raised my voice but I was just so fed up with everything that had happened and at this point, I almost didn’t care what happened to me

As long as they didn’t involve me in anything that they did, I didn’t care.

“So you’re a slut then?” That took me by surprise.

How stupid was everyone in this house? How could he not understand that I was being sarcastic?

“You would go that far to seduce my sister’s husband? Why can’t you just accept the fact that he left you for her? Why do you keep trying to get back into his life? Do you long for a man’s touch that bad?”
