Semua Bab The Barren Luna’s Revenge; Dear Ex, Your Only Heir Is Mine: Bab 41 - Bab 50

Carmen's povThe journey back to the veil felt colder than I remembered or maybe I had simply changed too much. The carriage moved quietly through the fog-covered roads while I stared outside the window absentmindedly, watching dead trees blur past beneath the pale evening sky.Everything about the place still carried the same suffocating atmosphere.I didn't know why I was suddenly so bothered, I could not eat or sleep, I just couldn't take it, a place where kids became assassins, weapons of mass murder, monsters who could not speak or have a will of her own.Now, I was going back to my parents' pack territory, not only to find the truth regarding my assassination attempt but also for them.I never thought a day would come when I would be considered something like this… saving others.The five girls, I never really considered them as people, just tools to get information and I thought that my heart would still be strong being away from them. But, after watching them and the way the

Cayden's povI think I definitely understood now why ancient creatures were sealed away underground. Not because they were dangerous but because they were unbelievably annoying.Just like Silver. He said he was going to be my assistant but I turned out to be his assistant.Five hours with the grand ancestor and I had experienced what it meant to be an errand boy.“Cayden, get me some black coffee, this one is just too sweet.” Silver frowned in disgust as he put down the latte.“This is your tenth order. Make your choice.” I completely lost it, slamming the tray on the table.Silver looked at me, disbelief across his eyes. “I just made my order, you are the one who assumed I wanted something sweet.”The shamelessness of this ancestor made me almost lose whatever self control I thought I had.“You keep changing your orders, I haven't even settled since I came here, I even gave you a menu and you chose ten times, I am the one running around the entire block.”“Fine.” Silver sighed, takin

Cayden's povAfter dragging Silver out of the coffee shop, I was still furious.I never knew I employed such unreliable people all this while to work for me.“Silver, my wife.” What stupidity was that? To make it worse, even the owner of the hotpot restaurant smiled at me holding Silver's hand.“You lovers,” she whispered as she waved at us.What do you all mean? Was the entire world stupid?I took a look at Silver who had a smile on his face the whole time.“You are never going to get out of this, are you?” Silver laughed at me, walking briskly to the office still holding my hands except this time, I was the one being manhandled.Back at the office, Silver left me and flopped himself on the couch, effortlessly pulling off his shoes.“Explain yourself, what the hell did you do?”“What? I left the office like you told me?" Silver answered, his face clueless as ever.“Yeah, right? You left the company with the company's staff, what were you thinking?”“They came willingly.”“You manipu

Carmen's povMy eyes rippled tiredly as I lifted them up, the first thing filling my mind was warmth.Not physical warmth, something softer, safer like someone was massaging my heart.After some minutes, the fog surrounding my vision cleared. Cayden was there, seated beside my bed, his hands absentmindedly playing with my necklace. The blue light shimmered lightly bringing along with it memories that were foggy in school.The overload caused me to inhale instantly.Cayden turned to look at me, his eyes lifted towards me as he inched closer to the bed. “You're awake.”I nodded slightly, reaching to grab the necklace instinctively but before I could go close to it, Cayden pulled me down.One arm slid around my waist while the other pressed gently beside my head, pinning tightly against the mistress.“Tell me,” Cayden said quietly, his gaze locked in on me more intensely.I frowned slightly, the heat coming from his body threatening to burn me. “None of your business.” I pushed him off

Carmen's povVera continued speaking, completely unbothered by my darkening face.“I watched you grow up, and call me mother in front of your real mother. I was delighted when I saw Estelle retreat in pain everyday, it made me so happy.”“Then I found out about the engagement with Cayden. I was so confused and jealous, because my daughter had no romantic and rich suitors coming for her at the time so it fueled my rage further.”“However, Silas approached me first, his eyes set on you, not because you were beautiful or anything like that. After all you were wallow, weak, a mess and shallow.”“He found out you were Estelle's daughter, so he wanted you at the time. I didn't particularly like Silas. He was a joke at that point, he was more than three decades old and still had to be his mother's puppet.”“To survive, he needed Estelle’s help. Silas was not courageous at all so he chose becoming friends with you as an easy way out.”“Silas was further infuriated when he found out about the
