Chapter 53
Unknown Pov
Rosa stood rooted to a spot with her heart in her mouth.
Silas declared an impromptu meeting. No doubt, it was about her plans to eradicate Aurora and take over Luna’s position, but she was going nuts.
Why couldn’t he allow her to do things at her own pace?
Not like she wasn’t making efforts, but he chose to remain blind to it.
Her brows arched in worry as she tried to process why he was obsessed with her becoming Luna.
Not that he liked her a bit. But his obsession was becoming suspicious.
Silas wasn’t generous. Everything he offers has a huge price attached to it.
Whatever the price was, she would bother about them later.
Rosa’s body straightened as tension seized her when the sound of footsteps caught her attention.
It didn’t take Rosa to recognize the aura exuding from the person.
“I need answers!” Silas demanded as he made his way forward, pointing his finger at Rosa in anger.
“Good to see you too, Uncle,” she greeted, masking her anger and nervousness.
“I don’t give a fuck about your greeting,” he affirmed breathlessly. His voice vibrated throughout Rosa’s ears.
Rosa knew better than to talk as she looked away from him, struggling with her words carefully to avoid their fury.
“Why had Damon been frequently visiting the girl?” he asked, shooting his brows up.
Because he is the Alpha King and the King is at liberty to visit anyone, Rosa screamed in her mind.
“It will be sorted.” She tried to reassure him, but his growls made her hesitant.
“I need explanations. Why isn’t she dead yet? Why aren’t we hearing any good news? You promised-”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“We will hear some good news soon. Just be patient.” Rosa cuts in, hoping her soothing words will convince Silas.
“Don’t you dare teach me about patience!” he flared, grabbing her by the collar of her dress before slamming her head to the wall.
Rosa winced as pain clouded her head. But she remained quiet. She had to behave like a fool to avoid Silas’ bad temper.
“It’s been weeks-” Silas gritted his teeth in frustration before punching the wall hard.
“You know that I’m trying my best, Uncle.”
“Your best is not enough if there are no results,” He loosened his grip on her neck, causing her to cough.
“I tried terminating her last week. Damon ruined the process,” she hissed, fuming in anger.
“If you had put your pussy into good use, he wouldn’t have ruined this. You are not just smart,”
Rosa’s eyes shut tightly in pain as Silas’ Words cut through her.
She wasn’t smart?
If she wasn’t smart, she would have left the castle.
If she wasn’t smart, their schemes would have been exposed.
Damn him for always ruining her effort.
“If not for the fake pregnancy, I would have ended up in the dungeon. I have to be very careful. No one touches the Alpha King’s property except the Alpha King. Not even me except I have his permission. I’m just his mistress.”
“You are a dumb mistress. Why didn’t you think of framing her? If you had framed her with something huge, no one would question your actions,”
“But-”
“And if you had kept that bastard busy, he wouldn’t have the time to think about the bitch. Now everything has gone to dust,” His fist clenched tightly making droplets of blood roll down to his wrist.
But it didn’t matter to him.
All he wanted was to claim the throne to become the new Alpha King before terminating Rosa.
But he doesn’t see that happening if Rosa doesn’t put in more effort.
Starting another coop was out of it as his previous coops failed woefully.
It was a miracle that he hadn’t been fished out as the leader of the coop. His followers were loyal and he vowed to claim the throne to avenge their blood.
Rosa was the only option. The only ticket for him to become the next King, but she wasn’t putting in her best effort.
Silas’ eyes lit up in surprise as an idea sparked in his head.
What if he connived with Aurora? It would be easy since Damon was closer to Aurora than Rosa.
But Aurora had a pure soul, untainted with evil. It would be hard to convince her because she had nothing against Damon.
A sigh of frustration rolled off Silas’ throat at the realization.
He was stuck with Rosa.
“What is it I heard about those two recently?” he asked, looking away from Rosa as a new wave of anger swept through him.
“About?” Rosa’s eyes rolled in confusion as she tried to process Silas’ question.
The delay made him angry.
“Don’t play dumb like you don’t know Aurora and that bastard is having sex!” Silas studies Rosa’s shock before scoffing.
“Maybe you are dumb for not being able to notice anything under your nose.”
Rosa’s face relaxed, “It’s normal for him to have sex with her. She is his property. Even if I know, there is nothing I can do about it,” she explained, but no amount of explanation would convince Silas.
“I want an end to that. I don’t care how you will do it but you should be the only person he fucks.”
“But he is a King. I can’t influence his decisions,” Rosa protested.
A growl escapes Silas’ mouth as he takes intimidating steps towards Rosa.
“I give you seven days. If you know you are not capable of this job, I’ll end you instantly. But before I end you, I will find a replacement and then make you go through hell before you take your final breath,” he threatened before leaving the room but Rosa was quick to snatch his hand, stopping him.
“I promise you this, Uncle, give me another chance. This time, no one will come to her rescue. She will die a slow and miserable death,” she affirmed, emphasizing every word.
A dark smile curled on her lips as an idea flashed through her head.
If she couldn’t do it, the doctor would.
And this time, no one would rescue her.
