The Alien King's Alluring Obsession

Edna

I raised a brow, "How? Joanna, please explain. How am I behind whatever happened to you? How do I even know what happened to you? I was not there with you when it happened. If you want to accuse someone falsely, try to make it believable and do your research."

"Stop quibbling! I know you are behind this! This was not supposed to happen." Joanna screamed.

Well, it seemed she was not going to pretend anymore.

Thank God.

"Explain what happened clearly. How can I help you without knowing what occurred?" Madam Tayo said.

"Mr Douglas and I were in my room having sex. Suddenly, strange rashes appeared on our body. Now, Mr Douglas promised to make sure my life becomes a living hell." Joanna gushed, "Please help me Madam Tayo. Please."

Madam Tayo glanced at me, "I understand your story. So, how is Edna involved? You said she was behind this. How?"

I relaxed and leaned on the chair properly.

I wanted to see the story Joanna will spin in her defense.

Joanna didn't stay in one position.

She would scratch her skin often. When she does that, another wave of bad stench would ooze out.

It was a disgusting picture.

"Madam Tayo, she is behind this. Punish her. She ruined my life and career." Joanna said, "Help me. Punish Edna and help me."

Joanna was delusional.

Even if I harmed her without her trap being in the works first, Madam Tayo wouldn't hurt me.

Between me and Joanna, Madam Tayo's choice was obvious.

Joanna's skin and body was destroyed and I was still in good health. It would cost money and resources to restore Joanna back to her peak. This scenario is taking the fact that she can be restored to who she was before, into consideration. Nobody knows if medicine and treatment would heal Joanna.

Madam Tayo was a business woman. She wouldn't make that kind of losing bet.

She would be on my side.

The truth was, she would be on the side of any of us that was healthy.

If Joanna was the healthy one, Madam Tayo wouldn't pick me. I would be on the losing side.

"You are not giving me tangible evidence. How is Edna involved with all these? You are screaming for me to punish her but I can't make that kind of losing decision." Madam Tayo explained.

"You don't understand. She harmed me! She's wicked. Please, understand me! You wouldn't want a witch like this in your establishment. She would destroy many things." Joanna repeated like a crazy ghost.

"How can I harm you? I was under house arrest previously and a few moments ago, I came to visit Madam Tayo. My schedule is already full. Where will I find the time to scheme against you? Are you that important? Say something else, that might be more believable." I sneered.

Joanna wouldn't be able to accuse me of anything without washing her dirty laundry to the public.

If she admits that she harmed me, my actions would be in the realms of self-defense. I wouldn't be in the wrong for striking back.

"Take her away. She is rambling." Madam Tayo said to the guards, "Bring Mr Douglas here. I would love to speak to him."

"No, no, no!" Joanna screamed.

Her eyes were red.

She seemed to have seen her fate.

I could see a hint of what that fate might be.

Madam Tayo didn't order the guards to take Joanna to a place she would get prompt treatment. She just told them to take her away. That was a red flag.

Madam Tayo might have given up on Joanna completely.

I watched all these things coldly.

This was one of the many reasons why I wasn't willing to give in to Madam Tayo's demands.

Firstly, she wasn't the kind of master anyone should submit to.

Secondly, if I fell into the trap of somebody like Madeline, Jade or the other women working here, she would discard me like this.

If Joanna at succeeded with her trap, I would be in the same position she was in. There will be no way out for me.

That wasn't the kind of horror I wanted to live in.

"Madam Tayo, Edna harmed me. I know she did it. I should not be the person with the ruined skin. My life wasn't the one that should get destroyed. She must have done something." Joanna cried.

She was back to holding onto Madam Tayo's legs.

I narrowed my eyes and leaned forward, "So, you are admitting to the fact that you harmed me? What happened to the hypocritical friendship you had with me? Why were you accusing me a few minutes ago like you didn't do anything? Mortals and hypocrisy!"

Joanna paused her hysterical actions.

She blinked, "You knew. Edna, you knew I wanted to harm you. You waited until I acted before striking."

I straightened my posture.

It wasn't strange that she arrived at that conclusion. I wasn't trying to hide anything.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

I tried to hide what I did before but then, I figured out that it didn't matter. I could admit it and I could not. Nothing would happen to me either way.

Madam Tayo wouldn't let anything happen to me.

"Bingo. You are not too dumb after all." I clapped.

The sounds from my hands were loud.

Madam Tayo's eyes were filled with unknown emotions.

Was she proud that I wasn't some kind of pushover or was she wary of me? Nobody knew what was going on in her head.

"The others thought I was the lurking snake around. I am not. You are the very embodiment of a snake. I should have known. Things were too easy but I didn't suspect anything. It's my fault. I lose." Joanna laughed. Her laughter sounded like she had gone crazy.

It was obvious that she has given up. She didn't try to plead her case with Madam Tayo anymore.

"Take her away." Madam Tayo finally broke the ensuing silence, "Remember to call Mr Douglas here. I can't lose him as a customer."

The leader of the guards nodded.

He walked to Joanna and dragged her out. He didn't have any consideration for her wounds.

I was in this particular position before. It was just that I didn't have wounds and things weren't very serious.

Joanna's life was basically destroyed.

She didn't struggle.

The light in her eyes dimmed as he dragged her away.

Madam Tayo's eyes turned to me, "Edna, I underestimated you."
