Chapter 22
XANDER
I’ll do whatever I can to get Maliya to eat. The girl might be a little stubborn, but I won’t allow anything to happen to the baby she’s carrying.” Madam Rosalie assured me.
“None of this should be happening if not because of that evil woman, I hissed at the thought of begging a woman to treat herself well so that nothing could happen to my miracle because I was afraid I might never see that kind of opportunity again.
Do you know how much I hate my father? I blamed him for everything that happened, and I still do. He allowed his evil wife to treat me however she liked and even belittle me himself for being a child of an omega,” I scoffed in disbelief.
“If he was that ashamed of who he slept with, why did he bother sleeping around in the first place?”
Madam Rosalie cleared her throat but remained silent. If there was anything she had learnt since I became the Alpha, it was the fact that her opinion was not needed, so she learned to lister without making unnecessary comments.
“It all started when I first moved here. They made me feel like a piece of trash. They didn’t even eat with me because the Luna claimed that I was smelling. Father didn’t object either because every time he looked at me, he was the result of his mistakes- one he wished that it would have remained hidden, sneered at the thought.
1 could still remember clearly how he looked at me when he first saw me. The exact words he used to question his Beta to confirm if I was his, the disappointment in his head when he saw the papers that proved that I was indeed his son, I could still remember it all.
I let out a dry laugh, a cold, mirthless sound and I watched how Madam Rosalie shifted uncomfortably from her seat.
“Oh, I could still remember how I wanted to ruin them so badly, I hissed, and my eyes glint with a mischievous grin.
“I wanted to watch them suffer, to see the fear in their eyes as they beg for mercy. I imagined how I’d enjoy every moment of it, every scream, every plea for a very long time,” I chuckled.
My laughter grew louder, more maniacal, as I thought about the revenge I had always planned.
“They thought they could break me, thought they could destroy me with their cruelty and their hate. But guess what I did?
I leaned in closer to Madam Rosalie, my voice dropping to a whisper. “I made sure to become strong and brought my fantasies to reality. I killed every single one that has ever looked down on me and laughed at how they begged for my mercy,” 1 grinned.
Madam Rosalie blinked her eyes nervously as if she just pictured everything in her head and I smiled at her.
“Have you ever thought about how I killed my dearest stepmother? The woman who made me this way in the first place and poisoned me so that I can be celibate?” I grinned at the memory and Madam Rosalie simply shook her head
“I went to her room while she was still grieving her husband’s death. Of course, she has learnt her lesson and she has come to fear me, but it wasn’t enough. I couldn’t bring myself to breathe in the same air as her so I sent her away in a grand style.”
“I sent her the most expensive dress at that time and made her dress up like a bride. The maids did beautiful makeup for her, Ismiled at the memory.
“And I enjoyed watching her helpless as she did everything I ordered. Do you know how pleasing it was? The same woman who couldn’t stand me was doing everything I asked.”
“Nothing excites me more than watching her beg for my forgiveness as she pleads for her freedom, I grinned.
“After ensuring that she was dressed like the beautiful queen she was, I slit her wrist and watched the horrific look on her face while she bleed to death,” I clapped my hands as I laughed at the memory.
“Interesting, isn’t it? I always have a way of getting back to people I went back to my seat, feeling a bit refreshed as I sat comfortably.
“What do you plan on doing now?” Madam Rosalie cleared her throat as she asked the question.
“I need to find out how the girl managed to get pregnant for me when I haven’t been able to impregnate any woman all along.” I said, and my mind went back to the stubborn maid.
“This could not be a coincidence or a mere miracle. I need to find out exactly what happened because only then would I truly be at ease.”
Td be lying if I said this is not a little shocking for me too. I’ll find the best seer and bring him to you so that we can get to the bottom of this matter,” she assured and I nodded.
Maybe all of this makes sense medically, but I can’t just accept that things are different now after learning to accept my fate since I was barely seventeen.
“I’ll be waiting for your response,” I said, and she nodded.
“If you will excuse me now, I need to get back to my work. The maids can’t do anything right without a proper supervision,” Madam Rosalie said before leaving my room.
I couldn’t stop thinking about the number of doctors that have come to examine me out since I became the Alpha.
I thought maybe money could fix my problems but I was wrong. They all had one thing to say.
“I’m sorry, but you cannot give birth. Giving you medicines or injections is just a waste of time.”Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
Their words stung like a bee each time as if I was hearing them for the first time, and I couldn’t help the pang in my chest.
I thought killing my stepmother would help me feel better, but there was no difference. I have always wanted to be a father and the thought of being a barren for life hurts me so much.
“Maliya, just who are you and how did you manage to get pregnant?” I said out loud.
