Rejected and Banished; The kids are his. Chapter two hundred and thirty one.
Eva's POV.I paced my room in tremendous anger, my fingers twisting the hem of my sleeve until the seams felt as though they might tear. My mind was a storm, replaying the horrors I had seen only hours ago.It had only been a day. Just one day. And yet I felt as though I had aged a hundred years.I pressed my palms to the sides of my head, trying to steady the whirlwind of thoughts. You can’t fall apart now, Eva. Not now, not ever. Not while so many depend on you.The sudden distant rumble of wheels made me freeze, I quickly darted toward the window, my breath catching in my throat. I sighted a carriage rolled through the gates, the same one that Aragorn and his cohorts had left with hours ago. “They’re back,” I whispered.I pressed my forehead against the cool glass, watching as Aragorn stepped down first, his long robe sweeping across the floor. Lady Tory followed with her usual smugness, Nuela slithering behind, and finally Elder Magnus, his face as unreadable as ever.I drew a de
Rejected and Banished; The kids are his. Chapter two hundred and thirty.
Eva's POV.I slammed the door shut behind as we walked out of the room. For a moment I just stood there in the hallway, frozen, my hand pressed tightly against my chest as if that alone could quiet the wild pounding of my heart. My stomach churned. My throat was dry, yet I could still taste the bitterness of nausea threatening to rise.I had never… never in my life seen such horror.And I could not unsee it now.Selene was watching me carefully. Her eyes darted to the corners of the corridor, her shoulders tense. “Now you know,” she whispered, her voice trembling yet carrying the weight of years of suppressed agony. “Now you’ve seen what he keeps hidden.”I swallowed hard, my mouth opening and closing like I was trying to breathe air underwater. “Selene… those people... ” My voice cracked. “Those screams, the faces… my goodness, how long… how long has this been happening right under everyone’s noses?”Selene pressed her lips together. “Too long,” she said. “Too many years, each week

Eva's POV.My chest rose and fell in rapid bursts, each breath scraping my throat as though I had swallowed knives. The door Selene had disappeared into only seconds ago stood ajar, inviting me in. My pulse hammered against my ribs, threatening to rip free, I exhaled deeply and moved forward.One step. Then another. My hand grazed the cold wood of the doorframe, slick with sweat from my trembling fingers. I pushed.The sound hit me first; screams, terrified muffled cries.My eyes darted around, adjusting to the flickering light of the wide room. The moment I understood what I was looking at, my feet froze.“Oh bloody hell,” I whispered, my voice barely audible.They were everywhere.Men. Women. Girls younger than me, boys that I could barely guess their age due to the misery washed all over their faces. All stripped bare of dignity, naked bodies huddled against cold stone floors. Shackles clung to their ankles and wrists, clinking with every desperate movement. Some were curled into

Eva's POV.The door creaked open at last. My heart thudded as I stepped away from the shadows.Selene appeared, her arms still steadying the heavy tray though it was empty now, only crumbs and a few smears of sauce left. Her face was pale, her lips pressed tightly together and her eyes watery with something she was clearly trying to suppress.Before she could fully notice me, I pushed away from the wall and stood directly in her path.Her entire body jolted. The tray nearly slipped from her fingers."M... My lady,” she stammered, her eyes widening, “what are you doing here?”I folded my arms across my chest, keeping my voice calm, though my pulse hammered against my ribs. “I think the better question, Selene, is what you are doing here.”She froze, her lips parting and closing again like a fish out of water.“I... I was just… delivering food,” she whispered.I took a deliberate step closer, my eyes narrowing. “Food to who?”Her throat bobbed. She looked left, then right, her body angl

Eva's POV.I stood at the doorway, my arms folded tightly across my chest as I watched them drive away.Only then did I allow myself to breathe.“They’re gone,” I whispered to myself, pressing a palm against the wooden frame. A small, bitter smile tugged at my lips. For the first time in days, I was free of their presence. I could almost feel their absence in the very air of the estate.I straightened my gown, pulled my shoulders back, and marched quickly into the house.This was my chance.I didn’t intend to waste it.I hastened my steps, intending to get to Selene before she disappears through my fingers.I couldn't help but smile as I remembered how Aragorn defended me against everyone, including his wife, how did I get such hold on him? He probably thinks I’m some delicate lamb, grateful to be shepherded around, wagging her tail at every crumb of trust he pretends to throw my way, hence his strong belief in me. He doesn’t know me at all. He doesn’t even know what I’m capable of.
Rejected and Banished; The kids are his. Chapter two hundred and twenty six.
Eva's POV.I tried to hold control my breathing as I walked alongside Aragorn, Lady Tory, Nuela, and Elder Magnus, the people I despise the most, it was taking everything in me to keep my look straight and not make an irritated face, my irritation had grown after what I have heard about the head chef. I followed silently as we approached the path that led down toward the estate’s wide gates, where a carriage waited patiently for us.I kept my eyes lowered, hands folded in front of me as though I was merely a submissive follower among them, but in truth my mind was running wild. Every step I took felt heavy. This meeting outside the border would certainly hold more information, allies, and truths that I could use, but I couldn’t afford to follow them this time. Not when I had plans that could only be executed if I stayed behind.I had to act. And act well.Just as we drew closer to the carriage, I let my foot deliberately twist against the floor , my body leaned forward with just the
