Chapter 36Tears brimmed in my eyes as I sat between the werewolves who had transformed back to their human form. Neither of them apologized for scaring me like that and why would I expect an apology from them since I was nothing but an ordinary slave who was kept against her will.When they scared me, I couldn't even believe that I didn't faint! I came out of the car, slamming the car's door shut till it made a thunderous sound. "You should inform Alpha Xavier about your return!" One of them said to me as I turned to look at him."You know what, All of you can both go to hell! Both you and Xavier!" I screamed on top of my lungs. "I would never forgive you all for this wickedness perpetrated against me. You all would pay for everything that you did to me" I barked at them, not knowing where I got the sudden courage and boldness to confront them."What insolence is this? Do you even know who you are talking to?” Damian's eyes blazed as he walked towards me with his fist clenched. Was h
Chapter 37Irene's P.O.VMy knees weakened to the ground, recoiling in horror as I tried to suppress the screams that escaped my mouth by covering my mouth with my hands. I rubbed my eyes with my fingers to be sure that I was seeing right. "T-This can't be true" I stuttered, gasping for breath as I wrapped my hands tightly around me.Slowly, all the memories about my mom that I have locked in the furthermost corners of my heart came rushing inside my head like a flood. Her lifeless body hanging from the ceiling with her curly black hair falling on her face were memories that I would never be able to erase no matter how much I wanted to.The more I stared at the lifeless body hanging from the ceiling fan, the more all the memories came rushing into my head. When I took a clearer look at Lily's cold face, I saw my mom's face in hers.Triggering all my senses, I pulled my knees to my chest, burying my head between my knees as I covered my ear with my hands in a bid to shut the voices tha
Chapter 38"Murdered!" I exclaimed, totally forgetting about the fact that I promised not to ever say a word to Xavier. "Yes! It doesn't make any sense for her to just commit suicide, from what I heard. She was planning on apologizing to me and a maid mentioned that she also mentioned some about revealing the truth""What truth?"I glanced at him as his gaze pierced into mine. "How am I supposed to know? It's good that she died before I laid my hands on her because I would have done worse things to her that she would have never imagined! Good riddance to bad rubbish" He hissed, falling on his back to the bed with his hands sprawled over his head.He kept his gaze fixed on the ceiling fan that creaked slowly while I curled my hands around myself tightly. He shifted his gaze from the ceiling fan to me. I gulped, lowering my head.He shifted closer to me. "Do you think that I killed Lily?" I shook my head vehemently, muttering a "No""Then if you think that I didn't kill Lily, why are you
Chapter 39Xavier's P.O.VMy brows furrowed in confusion as I took a step forward and stared down at her. "Can you repeat what you said?" I scoffed, trying to control the wave of anger rushing inside of me. She raised her head, staring at me with tears glistening in her eyes as she clasped her hands over her chest, rubbing her hands together. "Master, I am sorry for everything and I don't mean to sound disrespectful. But I am tired of living like this, everything started with the debt right? I would fix it and pay you back. I would take loans, work multiple jobs, and starve myself to death. I can even sell my kidney but please set me free"My mouth was slack open as I watched her talk hurriedly. Was that how desperate she was to go away from me? Even though I didn't hold any kind of attraction towards her, her words broke my heart into pieces as I clenched my fist by my side in anger. "Do you want to leave me alone? You want to leave this place?""Yes! I wouldn't run away, I would pay
Chapter 40Irene's P.O.VI barely slept last night, I was haunted by the memories of all the happenings that have been happening in my life. My mom committing suicide, Lily committing suicide and the fact that Xavier mentioned something about her being murdered instead, added to my trauma because I kept having a nightmare about someone trying to kill me while holding a rope in the other hand.I shuddered to stare at my pathetic self in the mirror. My eyes were puffy with dark circles underneath my eyes. I didn't bother brushing my hair. Instead, I tied my hair into a messy bun, taking a final glance at my reflection in the mirror before walking out of the door.All the maids that walked past me in the hallway, looked at me with scorn in their eyes but I didn't care. I was more overwhelmed by grief than to be bothered by their scornful eyes and taunts. I caught sight of Damian who walked down the hallway with a straight expression on his face.I didn't have the strength or time to enga
Chapter 41Irene's P.O.V.I glanced at Damian who dropped the frozen chicken in the bowl as he muttered. "Make for two." I stared at him in utter disbelief because how could he tell me to make for two when he knows that boiling water is difficult for me?I squeezed my eyes shut, running my hands through my hair frustratedly as I heaved out an exasperated sigh. "He must be kidding me! I am going crazy at the moment" I scuffled through my hair, hissing multiple times as I stared at the bowl.How in the world was I supposed to make waffles and chicken? I bit my lower lip, passing through the back door in a bid to seek the help of some maids but whenever I called them, the only thing they did was scowl and sneer at me. Some even labeled me a murderer, claiming that I was the one responsible for Lily's death since she died in the room I was given at the slave quarters.Stressed out already, I walked back to the kitchen only to meet Damian in the kitchen already while pouring flour into a b
Chapter 42Xavier's P.O.VI paused on my track, turning to look at Kourtney as I removed her hands from mine. "What did you just say?"She shrugged, walking giddily to the dining. "I mean, you said her mother died alongside the fetus in her stomach and that's why you are pitying her pathetic self. You also want to make her have a sense of belonging and that's why you introduced her as your wife when you just hired her as a maid"I averted my gaze from Kourtney to Irene whose mouth was slack open as tears glistened in her eyes. She shifted her gaze from Kourtney to me as we both locked eyes. Before I could say, Jack Robinson, tears that were threatening to fall coursed down her face as she stared at me in utter disbelief."Why is she crying, don't irritate me with those tears because Xavi wouldn't lie" Kourtney scoffed, gulping down a glass of water. I gathered myself together and kept a straight face as I walked past Irene who quickly ducked her head down.I sat at the rear end of the
Chapter 43Irene's P.O.VI couldn't contain the excitement building up inside of me after hearing what Kourtney said. With everything that happened just a few minutes ago, she told Xavier to kick me out and with the way, she and Xavier acted Lovey-dovey,I was damn sure that he was going to listen to her request by sending me out of the house.Moreover, I already added fuel to the fire by infuriating Kourtney more. Her eyes reddened as she spat out the salt while rushing to gulp a glass of water.I lowered my head with my hands still sprawled as I bent slightly. A smile curled at the corner of my lips because Kourtney being here was my road to freedom. Even though I have never spent a lot of time with her, there was no doubt that she hated me with extreme passion even though I had no idea about the cause of her hatred towards me.Maybe she thinks that I am trying to steal her beloved boyfriend from her, Xavier.I raised my head only to meet Xavier's blazing eyes that stared down at me.
