The rest of the day was spent in awkwardness. Roxanne hadn’t left her room and Desmond kept taking Hope to places while leaving me behind.
“Good evening! Where is the Queen?” Silas entered the house, asking the maid in the way who took his laptop bag and coat.
“She hasn’t left her room since morning,” the maid answered.
I was listening to them and waiting for his arrival. Desmond and Hope weren’t home; he had taken her out for dinner so I had a perfect opportunity to speak to Silas about Roxanne.
“Can I--- I talk to you for a moment,” I intervened his brisk walk to his bedroom. He ceased upon his steps to stare at me in an awkward silence.
“What is it about?” he questioned,
“It’s about last night,” mentioning that cursed night wasn’t hard and it wasn’t very easy for him to hear about it either because his face hardened at the recollection o
I whimpered, trying to think of a way to get out of this situation as I wouldn’t be the same after tonight if he succeeds in this. I felt his hard d*** pressed against my buttcheeks and it almost felt impossible to survive.Icy and I were helpless in front of our daughter’s happiness.Just when he forced his body against mine and rested his face near my ear and was about to shove his d*** in me, the knock on our door separated us.He wouldn’t have paid attention had the knock not intensified.“Ugh! These people, do they never sleep?” He growled, separating his body from mine and heading towards the door.I swiftly pulled my gown down and cleaned the tears in my eyes, rubbing my hands nervously as I started brainstorming an excuse to get away from him.“Hi! I believe we haven’t met properly,” Silas’ voice made me lift my face up and watch him standing in the door with a smirk on his lips.
"What?" Silas asked with a hint of disgust and confusion in his voice. His response woke Roxanne up."What is going on?" she questioned rubbing her eyes and trying to look around for me."My wife has a bad character," Desmond repeated so that even Roxanne hears his claims.I could come out from behind the wall but I couldn't risk Desmond telling Hope anything. I don't even know how many lies he had told Hope today."She doesn't even care who she sleeps with," he was talking in such a manner about me that I couldn't feel anything in my body, not even my own heartbeat."She cheated on me with everyone," he continued to speak, "I had a friend who had once c----," As he kept going on and on, Silas interrupted him."That's enough. Why are you even airing out your personal matters to us?" He sounded very disappointed with Desmond, who didn't expect this response."I - - -," Desmond sounded a bit shocked. It was a shame that he was much olde
A new day and a new me, I can't even say it aloud after what happened last night.I had woken up earlier before Desmond so that I can be with my daughter.Last night when things got heated and he lunged my way to attack me, hit me, abuse me, I don't know how but I defended myself.By that, I mean my knee accidentally bent upward and hit him in the spot where he wasn't expecting to get hit.While he dropped on the floor in pain, I rushed out of the room and slept in Hope's room.I know he would be enraged upon the idea of getting beaten up by a girl since his ego wouldn't let him think beyond the genders but I was happy that I defended myself and didn't let him lay a finger on me."Good morning!" I kissed Hope's forehead, spreading the curtains open and letting the beautiful sunshine invade her room."Where is daddy? He didn't leave, did he?" the first thing she asked me when waking up was in regards to that as******."Hope! No
I was so shocked that I couldn’t even react. I had my mouth hung open and my eyes bugged out. I rested my palm on my face whilst Desmond took Hope to the side.“Hope!” he shook his head in disapproval but when I raised my face, I saw a smirk appearing on his lips.“See!” Tessa murmured, holding her laugh in and snickering. Roxanne seemed to be on the verge of laughing out loud.“I am ready. How much time will it take you to get re---,” Silas, who had just come out, watched us all standing like statues and frowned, “What is going on here?” He questioned, fixing his cufflinks.“Nothing! I will get ready in a few minutes,” Roxanne excused as she rushed into the room. I had big tears resting on my eyelashes as I tried to convince myself that it would all be fine.“I want to go with you guys,” Hope then watched Silas’ face with her misty eyes and he nodded to her.
Silas Charming’s POV:The party has tired us into craving rest. Hope had fallen asleep in Roxanne’s arms. The driver was advised to slow down due to the heavy rainfall.Roxanne was also dozing off so I was pretty much on my own, looking outside the window and watching the rain.“Thinking about her?” Hunter asked, it was nice having a wolf who accompanies you when you are alone.“About who?” I played dumb, not wanting to accept my mind was stuck on some particular person.“Your mate, the mother of your child, Octavia, who else?” Hunter replied,“Why would I think about her?” I shrugged my shoulders, trying to make him sound like an idiot for even asking me that.“Oh come on! you are thinking about her.” Hunter made me realize that I cannot lie to him so I gave up.“Did you notice how she didn’t even object today? It was like, the
Silas Charming's POV:After Desmond had cleaned the room, he went to attend the bathroom and that was my time to get out of the closet and head out.I only stepped in my tracks to turn my face to the side whilst I pulled a blanket over her.I hate her for the things I have found out about her but I still covered her because I'm an idiot who is feeling way too much about her these days.I got out of the bed and found a guard talking a round, "Tell Desmond to meet me in the study room," I said, briskly walking back to my room to take off my coat and tie.I slammed them on the floor, walking back and forth and running my hand through my hair aggressively.I was angry!"How can she do this to our kid?" I grunted, huffing and puffing angrily."What is going on? Why do you look so enraged and anxious?" Roxanne had come out of the bathroom after changing into her night dress.She was surprised to see the mess I
Octavia’s POV:After I have passed out, I came to find out that Desmond didn’t do anything to me. He practically left the room and then never came back. It was when I had finally woken up and asked the maids about his whereabouts that I found out he slept in the guestroom.“Icy?” I called for her, feeling light weighted. My body still had wolfbane in it so I was weak. I wasn’t going to let Desmond get away with what he did last night.I just needed to know from Hope what he had been telling her about me?“Icy!” I called for her again but obviously, with the amount of wolfbane he had made me ingest, she wouldn’t wake up anytime soon. I was forcing myself to walk around and get ready to meet up with Hope when I fell asleep once again on the couch.“Wake up!” I heard Desmond’s grunting voice but the dizziness didn’t allow me to open my eyes to his existence.
The maid took me to Desmond after I expressed my desire to see him. It took him an hour to accept meeting me, which was just a huge red flag.“Come in, he will meet you now,” she came out of his bedroom and let me know that I can now walk in. I was already mesmerized by the beauty of the mansion, it was huge and everything looked so expensive. How the hell was he able to afford a place like this and where is Hope?I entered the room and was shocked instantly. There were two naked girls in the bed with him whilst he had just walked out of the bathroom after he had taken a shower.“Oh hey! Welcome back to your senses,” he said, drying his hair with a towel and reaching the mirror.“Where is Hope?” there was so much that I needed to get answers from him for but my daughter remained as my first priority.“Ahh! Hope!” he voiced with a smile on his lips, “such an amazing child deserves a good life,&rd
