Chapter 13
Aurora
I was still drowning in the bottomless abyss of self-pity and anger when my father’s roars jolted me awake. My heart did a quick flip as I noticed his eyes turned pitch black.
Panic seized my heart as he let out another roar before dashing to meet Valerie, seizing her by the collar of her dress.
All my life, I had only seen my father blinded by anger once, never again, until now.
He rarely let out roars except his blood was boiling in rage.
My heart pounded fast against my ribs when I glanced at his sharp claws slipping on and out of his fingers.
That was it.
Once he was consumed by his deadly rage, there was no going back. It was either he gets killed or he kills.
I need no soothsayer to tell me that Valerie dug her grave with her hands by playing a fast one on my father.
She beat the war drums, now she must be ready to dance to its consequences.
She deserved whatever got to her. She was a horrible person.
My father’s rage filled the room so much that its strong scent started to suffocate me.
I had to leave before it got dirty.
“Who is that wretched lover of yours?” He demanded. I gulped down the bile in my throat when I saw the vein on his forehead popping out as he spoke.
“It’s Carson. It wasn’t his fault. I made him do it,” she screamed desperately, struggling to get my father’s attention before he acted irrationally.
My father’s head tilted to meet her as disbelief washed over him. “Carson? My driver?” he said in shock.
“He didn’t-”
“Shut up, bitch! You mean to tell me that I wasn’t the only one you were seeing? You stooped so low to have sex with my driver?” Confusion clouded his brain as he found it difficult to digest the revelation.
“I was lonely and you were not always around…” she tried to convince him.
“That’s so lame. To even think that I was fucking you all these while without knowing you offered your pussy on a platter of Gold to some nuisance, that good-for-nothing golddigger!”
“Are you that cheap? You don’t mind spreading your filthy legs for any Dick and Harry that comes your way. You were supposed to be my mistress, Mine alone. But here you are, fucking some driver until you gave birth to a bastard child!” He exclaimed as he was wild with rage. Wrath and disdain dripped in his voice.
A gush of disbelief swept through me as I fixed my gaze on my irate father.
I thought he cherished Nathalia and worshiped the ground she walked on. I thought the bond between him and Nathalia was inseparable as a result of the years he spent nurturing her.
I thought the love between them was unbreakable, but now I knew that it was easier to hate someone than to love someone.
Love could vanish in the blink of an eye.
It saddened my heart to see how quickly he reduced her by calling her a bastard child.
Does that mean the love he had for her has expired?
Pity replaced the fury I felt towards Nathalia.
She was going through the toughest time in her life.
It was crazy how she lost everything she loved dearly because of her mother’s selfishness.
My heart bled as tears streamed down her face. My father wouldn’t even look at her.
“Alpha, it wasn’t his fault…it was…” she stammered, struggling with excuses.
My father’s expression darkened as his eyes met with Eve who was rooted in a spot, flabbergasted at the twist of events.
“Eve,” he called authoritatively.
Eve tore herself from the spot, running before him to avoid attracting punishment as he was in a foul mood.
“Get Carson at once!” he demanded, looking my mother dead in the eye.
I could tell it was about to get ugly.
“Why? I just told you that I forced him. He wasn’t at fault,” she protested, rushing to meet him.
“Why don’t you leave that to me? Let me be the judge of that,” he responded, folding his arms and pacing about the room.
Silence enveloped the room as the tension increased.
“Alpha,” Carson broke the long silence, sneaking into the room as his eyes hovered on our faces as if studying us.
All eyes were fixed on Carson as he strode towards my father with his head slightly bowed.
Without warning, my father threw caution into the wind, charging at him and hitting his back against the hard wall before throwing him on the floor.
“How dare you eat what I’m eating!” He snarled, grabbing him by the collar before hitting his head against the wall.
“Alpha, I don’t understand…” he stammered, wincing his pain as he glanced at Valerie.
“You don’t fucking take what belongs to me. How dare you have an affair with the mistress and have this bastard baby!” He spat in annoyance, pointing at Nathalia who sobbed harder.
“Daddy please,” she cried, taking baby steps towards him.
“Get away from me! I am not your father. This bastard is. And it’s a pity I’ll be sending him to hell.”
I was still trying to process his words when he brought out a shiny dagger inside his suit, slicing Carson’s throat immediately.
I screamed in shock as horror filled my eyes when he dropped unconscious on the floor covered in a pool of blood.
As if that wasn’t enough, my father tore his garment with the dagger before slicing his balls and dick into pieces, like tiny pieces of meat.
Fear shook me as I watched him let out agonizing screams before choking on his blood. Soon, he gasped for breath, giving in to the cold embrace of death.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
My stomach did a quick flip as the little amount of food I had threatened to rush down my throat.
I quickly turned away from the bloody sight to avoid feeling nauseous.
I couldn’t stand the sight of blood.
“What have you done?!” Valerie screamed in horror with bulged eyes. She quickly ran to Carson, shaking him furiously as drops of tears ran freely from her eyes.
“You made me nurture a bastard for twenty years…” he resumed, shooting her a deadly look.
“You are a liar if you think you’ll go scot-free.” He gritted before burying the dagger deep in her heart.
“Mum!” I and Nathalia screamed in horror, rushing to meet her as she dropped to the floor like a bag of potatoes.
