The Alpha's Rogue Bride のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 121 - チャプター 130

CHAPTER 122~RICHARD~ “Richard, what is going on?”I hadn’t even closed the door behind me when my mother attacked me with her question.“What do you mean?” I questioned back.My mother sat on the couch in her room. It was a strategic move for every room in the mansion to have one.“Richard, I may have been unconscious and away, but you don’t think I’m dumb enough not to see that things have changed around here, do you?”I took a deep breath.“I see you all trying to act like none of it is happening, but the tension in the atmosphere. The glares you fire at each other. The inability to speak. You don’t think I see all of that?” my mother pushed.“Well…you’re not wrong,” I fell on the couch beside her. “It wasn’t her, mum.” I started.“Who?”“Elena,” I replied, “that night, four years ago, it was Kim. It’s been Kim all along.”My mother did not look a little bit surprised and it worried me for a moment.She smiled.“My whole marriage was built on a lie. She deceived me.” I continued l

CHAPTER 124~KIM~“Nothing. Just some tests I asked her to run on the patients.” I said and waved Sam away before Richard thought to go close to her.“Shouldn’t you see that?” Jerry probed.“No. I’ve had a long day. She knows what to do with it.” I replied and quickly switched the topic.“The victims are heavily sedated and will not wake up until tomorrow. We should get back so we can make it for dinner. We don’t want to alarm Catherine.”The reorientation when they heard Catherine’s name.“You’re right.”We headed for the exit. I sat in the back of the vehicle, while Richard drove and Jerry sat with him in front.The entire time, I pretended to be too tired and even sleepy, meanwhile, I had my face buried in the back of the chair, thinking about the paper in Sam’s hand and how it could either break me completely, or bring meaning into my life.‘When you came here, you could not conceive the idea of carrying this man’s child and now you can’t stop thinking about it.’‘Funny how the w

CHAPTER 126~KIM~“NO!!!”I yelled at the top of my voice.The blade missed my head by a tiny bit, but then it sunk straight into the rogue’s chest, puncturing his heart and whatever was left of his lungs.He only lived for seconds after that, all of which he was fighting for his life and gasping, until he finally gave up.“Common!” I shook him vigorously.I was ‘nurse’ enough to know that he was gone and there was no redemption, but I shook him regardless, not exactly sure what I was hoping for.The man died in my arms.All my yelling and crying attracted a crowd, primarily led by Richard.I saw him, Jerry and Logan rush in, but that was the last I saw, before my head dropped onto the rogue’s body and darkness completely consumed me.***‘All of it for nothing?’When I opened my eyes, my vision was not blurred, but I felt the weakness in my limbs and I could not move.The darkness was taking over me, but that was not my pain. Not completely. Not more than the fact that I had sunk mys

CHAPTER 128~KIM~“You’re lying.” I directed at Elena.“She’s lying.” This time, my face was turned towards Richard and it was more of a question than a statement.Richard’s eyes were gloomy. It didn’t look very much like Elena was lying. She was just the only one who didn’t care enough to pamper the situation.“No!” I yelled.I tried to get out of the couch, but Richard pinned me down.“Let me go!” I protested. “I want to visit Galina. Sam told me she was replacing her for a few days. I want to see her.”“Kim. Please.”Richard pulled me into an embrace.His arms around me felt more like a prison, rather than comfort.They were serious.I knew they were, but I could not bring myself to believe it.“Let me go!” I continued yelling, fighting to break free.Richard held me firmly, maybe waiting for me to break down in tears, but there were no tears. Not when everything was still drama to me.Catherine took the seat on the other side of the couch beside me.“Kim, I’m so sorry.”Logan was

CHAPTER 130~KIM~“Elena and I are getting divorced.”There was no question of whether or not I misheard. Not when I was looking at his lips as he formed every word.“What? I thought…”“I thought so too, but my mother made me understand that if a marriage is built on deceit, it can be dissolved. Even a royal union.” He explained.Richard seemed rather excited to tell me that he was getting divorced from Elena. I could see that he was expecting the same excitement from me.I wanted to rejoice.I wanted to scream and jump that she was finally going to be out of the picture, but I could not find the joy.Instead, I worried.“Have you spoken to her? How did she take it?” I probed.“Well, I was going to speak with her first, but then a lot of activities followed and when I had the time to give it thought, I decided I wasn’t going to give her room to try to convince me otherwise.” Richard answered,“So, I called for a council meeting tomorrow, where we will all be present. I will tell them
