Chapter 529 Well Treated (Beatrice Dismay)
He was trembling with anger and staring at the window Zane had jumped through. I wanted to go after him, but the fear of losing my baby stopped me.
It was a reflex until Ace told me a completely different story.
‘What are you saying?’ I asked him again, confused what he was talking about.
‘We were never pregnant,’ she repeated to herself, making me take a deep sigh and kneel, my face in my hands. “But he said—
and I have that proof—I began to question everything that had happened in the last few weeks. It was as if I had never lived those days and everything that happened during that time was a lie.
‘Everything he said was a lie. We never slept with him, so how the hell did he get us pregnant? It made some sense of me now that I was remembering things vividly. I couldn’t believe Zane had come this far with his mischief.
He was really an evil person and now I don’t even know if he could ever redeem himself. It’s not that he can bring his brother back.
‘So, it was all a lie?’ I asked her. ‘Yes. He had come prepared. I had many plans in place in case one didn’t work out. He wanted to have us by all means, so he played this nasty game,” he explained to me while I sat on the floor in bewilderment. How the hell did he manage to control my body?
Is it possible that once I return to the vortex, I can ask Huia to repeat the same spell and have me under her control once again?
Nothing made sense and then the door slammed open, which made me lift my head and look at Helel. He quickly scanned me before running to the window and letting out a grunt of complaint.
“I didn’t help him run away,” I stood up to clear my name. He stared at me for a moment, making me wonder what I was thinking before he quickly reached out and hugged me.
I was so confused that I couldn’t even react at first. I worried if it was a dream or a reality. Once I was sure he was really here and comforting me, I hugged him back and started crying in his arms.
“I’m so sorry for everything. I didn’t kill her, I promise you,” those words left my lips as if it were the first thing that came to mind.
Losing Gwen was also very hard for me. I’m sure Zane had told her I killed her, but now that she was regaining her memory, shewas slowly acknowledging that I didn’t actually do anything to her.
“Okay,” he whispered, still hugging me.
“Don’t! You need to hear me. Gwen found me in the cave. She was so sweet about it. Imagine a new mother who leaves her child alone to make sure someone else is okay. She did it for me. He said my name so many times, but I was frozen in place.
And then came the devil himself. Zane killed her while I couldn’t even move a muscle. Then he made me hold the dagger as I took his body and left. I swear I didn’t hurt her,” I broke the hug so I could tell her what exactly happened that day. Helel looked confused at first before letting out a choked scream.
“Did you think I killed her?” I had to ask him that question after seeing his reaction.
“Don’t! But I thought maybe he had used magic to force you to do it,” he whispered, taking my face in his hands.
“Hey, even if he had forced you to do it, it wasn’t you,” he explained as he planted a kiss on my forehead. It felt so good to be treated kindly by him. For the moment I was confronted by them, I really thought they would never accept me back into their lives. Me even though they hated me.
“I must talk to Akin,” I pouted, wishing he was as understanding as Helel, but, again, I had seen the videos, so I can’t blame him for being a little on edge.
“He’s not here right now. I can tell you everything myself, but I think he himself should have the conversation with you,” Helel turned away, and then her attention returned to the window.
“Don’t go after him yet. We are alone in the mansion and Zane had promised to come back to hurt everyone, including Evelyn,” I helped him understand how important it was for him to stay with her until the others returned.
“I should go see her then. Refresh yourself and join us, okay? Don’t be left alone for now. You’ve been through some trauma, you need to be close to people,” he looked up, worried about me. I was going to have it back in my life. If only he could convince Akin and Reign too. As for Colt, he never stopped believing in me.
As Helel was leaving, I couldn’t help but wonder what else I had to do and then two names popped into my mind. “Shiloh and Jay!” I muttered under my clenched jaw. It was because of them that now everything was a mess. I took it upon myself to comfort them and grab them before they found out everything and tried to flee the scene.I quickly made my way to the guesthouse where I found another big surprise.
“How is it possible?” Jay muttered, giving me chills.
“Tell me. Isn’t that how it was supposed to be? I should never have been your puppet. You robbed me of my freedom and caged me in my body when I should have been enjoying my pregnancy with my partner,” Shiloh screamed as she cried to him.
Then I realized that I wasn’t the only one who was controlled by them. Shiloh was his first victim.
