Chapter 100
Jace POVAnn looked at me, surprised.“She lied.” I replied. The words came out of my mouth even before I thought about it. My voice was sharp, colder than I intended, and my blood was already boiling.“I never said that, Ann,” I snapped, glaring at Mia. “I never said I’d kill her. She’s twisting it.”I hated the fact that Mia lied against me to my face but Mia just stood there, all wide-eyed and calm like she was innocent. I tried to understand why she did that.Was she planning something suspicious?Her expression was unreadable and composed. I saw how she flicked off her eyes and lowered her gaze anybody would fall for it but she lied. I never said I would kill her.Ann was looking at me like I had just lost my mind. She looked tired, weak, and exhausted from all that had happened these past few days, and I hated that I was the cause of that pain, that I added to it.“Why, Jace?” she askedChapter 100Jace POVAnn looked at me, surprised. “She lied.” I replied.

Chapter99Ann POVIt was a very beautiful day. The sun shone brightly through my window as rays of light hit my eyes. I woke up to a soft rustling of fabrics and a quiet sound of someone humming beside me. My eyes fluttered open, and there Mia was.She squeezed my arm when she saw me open my eyes. “You’re awake,” she said sweetly, offering me a bright smile and a small tea cup. “I made you some calming tea to help you feel better.”I blinked and smiled back. “Thank you,” I whispered, as I tried to sit up on my bed. I took the cup and sipped gently. "I know the past few days has been tough for you but I strongly believe that we'll find your baby.""I just hope he's not hurt." I replied in a daze. She sat on my bed, her voice quiet and gentle. “We will find him, Ann. I swear to the Moon Goddess. But you must believe. Believe and be strong.”Tears filled my eyes, but I nodded, and swallowed hard. I couldn’t fall apart, not now. “I wish I could help,” I
Chapter 98Jace POVThe letter felt heavier than any weapon I had ever wielded. I kept reading it and reading it to be sure of the contents of the letter. I stared helplessly at Jayden's handwriting, each curve and slash of the ink felt like it was mocking me. "Tell Ann to leave you and disappear to Lok City if she wants her son to be safe... or I’ll make him scream, Jace... and make her watch..."My stomach churned. I had read the words a dozen times now, and still, I couldn’t understand that level the wickedness. Jayden was my cousin but he seems to have lost all humanity. And Elena, her betrayal cut deeper than anything else. She wasn’t just Ann’s sister, she was Ann's blood. I couldn't believe that she joined forces with the devil who called himself my brother to hurt the woman that I loved and even our innocent child.I was conflicted. I didn't know what to do. If Ann finds out about this letter it would break her and right now her health should be the top
Chapter 97Jayden’s POVI placed the child on a cushion, and pinched his side. He did not move. I walked towards Elena to hit her again but I decided to try harder. I pinched the baby harder, beat his back still nothing. I never knew that I was capable of hating someone this much. Everything in me flared as I walked towards her. I was going to kill her with my bare hands but not before I punish her for her crimes. Ann was the sister I love. The one I'll give everything to be with but she chose Jace. She chose Jace instead of me. She got married with him, she ruled with him and she even had the guts to give him a heir. I had to back down...I had to settle for less. For Elena and this is how she chose to pay me back. I gave her one task. Just one task, nurse my child but she decided to kill him instead. I walked up towards Elena and tightened my grip on her throat. Her eyes bulged with fear. She gasped like a fish out of water, but I didn’t care for one bit. My mind was spinning,
Chapter 96Elena’s POVI never wanted this. I didn't want anything to do with Ann's baby and I didn't want him near my house but here Jayden was, forcing me to nurse him. The baby wouldn’t stop crying. His tiny screams pierced through my ears and the whole house. It was relentless and sharp. I was holding him close, but all I really wanted to do was to be far away from him but I couldn't, because Jayden was watching.He stared at me as he stood near the doorway, arms folded and jaw clenched tight. I could feel his frustration from the distance. “Elena,” he snapped. “Make him shut up. If he doesn’t stop, I swear I’ll take him with me and never come back.”My chest clenched. Not at the thought of taking the baby away but because of Jayden. My Jayden. I could'nt live without jayden. I have spent years chasing, loving, and waiting for him.So I swallowed the bitter bile in my throat and forced a small, tight smile. I didn't like that I had to babysit Ann child but I'll do anything for J
Chapter 95Seven month adgerJayden povI grinned as they brought Ann to my presence. This was everything I ever wanted and now it was standing right here in front of me. Ann stood by the edge of the room looking like royalty. My Cousin Jace's wife. The princess who stole his heart. She looked at me with spite, her eyes shot like daggers as she eyed me, cutting through the dim light. Her beautiful dress was already torn at the side from an earlier struggle. She actually seemed so far, so out of reach but now I got her. I was going to make her mine. Going to taste what felt so good to Jace but she wasn't making it easier for me "I will never be yours" she hissed at me spitefully which made my blood boil. She was right. She would never be mine, but I wouldnt accept defeat. I walked up to her and slapped her. Harder than I meant to. Now, her cheek bore a faint red mark where I slapped her. Ann didn't flinch, Instead she taunted me ."You can't keep me here forever," she spat, her v
