Chapter 75 Caught in the Act
GAEL’S POV The masculine figure on top of her fell to the floor quickly, and Nia threw out her hands weakly in a sleepy manner. My eyes searched the floor, and her dress and his shirt were all on the ground.
I stumbled to the back, not believing my eyes. It can’t be happening. I tried not to believe it, but seeing the man wear his clothes quickly, I realized I wasn’t hallucinating. I saw it right.
“How dare you, you bastard!” I bellowed, throwing the ring box on the ground and grabbing him by the neck.
Nia finally came alive while I was hitting him. She sat up, looking lost. “What-what are you doing, Gael? What-the hell-happened?” She stuttered.
My lips shook hard as hot tears stung the back of my eyes. Growling, I threw the man hard against the wall and stomped towards her. Without warning, I slapped her hard across the face.
“You bitch! How could you do this to me?! I feel stupid forever thinking you are worthy of my time and heart. How dare you make a fool of me?!”
A lone tear rolled down her face as she looked around like a lost cause. Her hand went to her face, shaking profusely. “I-I-” she knelt on the bed, trying to wrap the sheet around her body. “Why am I-naked? I-don’t know what’s-happening? What the hell happened?!” She looked around the room.
“Why don’t you answer that yourself, you lying piece of shit!” I bickered. “How long have you been sleeping with him?” I pointed at the man, who seemed to struggle to get back on his feet from my angry throw.
She furrowed her brow, confused. “I swear to you, Gael. I don’t know him.” She drawled weakly.
I pulled at my hair roughly, “I saw you both. This guy slept with you! You had sex with someone else under my fucking roof. Nia!” I yelled, making a move towards her to strangle her pretty neck. But I held back, clenching my fist tightly and finding breathing challenging.
My heart felt like it would explode if I didn’t take caution. I grabbed a fistful of my hair, feeling my insides churn. “What did I do to deserve this from you, Nia? How could you do this to me? Since when have you been going out with him? When did you meet? Is he your patient?!” I yelled.
Nia cried. “I-don’t-I don’t know what you are talking about, Gael. I have never seen him before. I don’t know how I got here. I remember meeting-”
“Shut up!” I growled, cutting her short. “Answer my fucking question, who is he?” I pointed at the man and found the spot empty. He must have run off.
She held on to the duvet and attempted to climb off the bed. “Listen to me, baby. I don’t know him. I can’t remember walking into this place. Please, you need to believe me. I don’t know what all of this is about. Believe me, baby.” She wailed.
I wiped at the tears, pointing a shaking finger at her. “Call me baby again, and I will have your head. You know what?” I sniffed. “I hate the sight of you right now! Get the fuck out of my sight!” I yelled.
I want to hurt her badly for having the guts to cheat on me. I have never been cheated on before. I get to do that to others. Why does it hurt this much? Why does it feel like my entire body is spinning? Why is this happening to me?
She blinked slowly like a fool, “Gael…no…listen to me. I swear I don’t know that man.”
I gritted my teeth, and like a possessed maniac, I pulled her out of the bed violently, but I realized she still had her underwear on. Lucky for her, I have no intention to be bothered about whatever remains she had on.
Without hesitation, I pulled her towards the hallway, cursing her out while she struggled to pull back from my grip.
“Please, Gael, don’t do this. I don’t know what’s going on. Please let me wear something, at least. Please, baby. I beg you.” She cried.
My eyes had become blinded by the tears at this point, and I practically couldn’t see anything. But I am determined to get rid of Nia. If she stays any further, I really would be forced to end her life. Dragging her roughly down the stairs, she screamed in pain. Some guards looked on in shock as they wondered what was going on. The noise must have gotten the others’ attention cause few people were trooping out, mostly the pack housemaids and guards.
For all to see, I intentionally dragged her towards the hall entrance. The people outside looked on in horror. I pushed her roughly to the ground, feeling a pain struck at my chest at the bruise on her body.
“Ga-Gael, please.” She mumbled in a low tone.
“Don’t you ever call my name with that filthy mouth of yours!” I bellowed, breathing heavily.
Ezra rushed out of the hall, pushing past the spectators. His eyes rounded like saucers when he saw Nia. “What the fuck, Gael? Why is Nia here with no clothes on?”
“Ask the bitch, yourself! She has been sleeping around! I caught her just now with a strange man in bed with her. I don’t want to see her, Ezra. Take the bitch far away from me.” I staggered, feeling drunk even though I hadn’t exactly had a full taste of alcohol tonight. I turned to face everyone watching.
“Everyone present here today should have a good look at her. You all know her as your healer. From today, she doesn’t belong here, and she is no longer a member of the Sunset pack. I, Alpha Gael of Sunset Pack, banish you, Nia Hayes.” Those words felt heavy, the same as my heart, but I was too hurt even to have a second thought about my decision.
“If any of you accommodates her behind my back, I will have the entire family tossed out, too! Guards, ensure she leaves this premises tonight!” I ordered, stumbling my way back to the main house.
“Gael!” Nia screamed behind. I wish to shut her up in the most offensive way.
“Gael! Gael, wait up!” Ezra called out, running after me. I kept walking without looking back. He caught up with me and pulled me back forcefully. “Can you just listen to me? What do you think you are doing?”
I slapped his hand away from my shoulder. “Are you deaf? Didn’t you hear what I just said? I caught her in bed with another man! That bitch was cheating the whole time! She was with another man while I planned to start a life with her. It is all your fault.” I pushed at his chest. “But I blame myself more for getting fooled. There it is; I bet I deserve the humiliation.”
“You should know Nia better. There has to be some explanation for this.” He insisted.
“What other explanation, Ezra? What other bloody explanation?! It will only be lies and nothing else. I know what I saw, and I will not believe I saw wrong. Make sure she leaves this pack tonight, or you will have me to contend with Beta Ezra.” I gritted.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
I headed to my room in a hurry. In my head, it was as if I heard mocking laughter as I moved. Entering the safe confines of my room, I slammed the door shut, falling to the ground and crying my eyes out helplessly.
