The Alpha King’s Hated Slave Chapter 225

He shook his head. It made her relieved.

“I have been so selfish because I was so engrossed in my own pain, I forgot that she went through so much like me…if not worse. She was broken to pieces, and yet she was so strong even after slavery, because she made me the center of her world.

She buried all the memories of her life, and channeled all her energy and her whole life to being with me. That was the reality she used to escaped her past, and that was also why she held onto that reality for so long because she knows that if it goes, she has nothing else to hold on to. Nothing else to escape to. I didn’t realize this one time.”

“Oh, Lucien….”

“I was so engrossed in myself, I did not see what was happening beneath my nose. If I didn’t neglect her so much, I would have realized what she was doing on time and try to stop her…to help her.

If I didn’t neglect her so much, I would know that she is extremely broken and hiding from it all. I would have known that she has gone toxic on time. I would have realized that Anarieveta has become so bitter that she will go to extremes too just to hold on to her reality.”

“It is not your fault, Lucien. Please, do not blame yourself for that….”

“You have no idea the extent she has gone, Danika. You have no idea how much bitterness she has inside her now. The look in her eyes as she vented out her anger…” When he looked at her, Danika saw knowledge.

There was so much he wasn’t telling her. He knows so much.

“Do you know what it hurts most?” He g*****d.

Danika shook her head.

“That everything Cone told her the day she staggered in to save me, turned out to be true.”

She lowered her head, and wiped her tears. Where does she start trying to make this better? This is too much.

He finished, “And now, I ask myself…. What am I going to do about her? Is it too late to help her?” A tear slipped from his eyes.

***IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE****

Coza lives in a cave. He has been here for so long, waiting for the perfect opportunity.

This night, he sat and waited for her to arrive. She has not reported to him and it’s well past time. He was getting angry and anxious.

It is unlike her to be late.

The Prince thought he killed him five years ago. But he is not so easy to kill.

He was almost giving up hope when he heard movements outside his cave. Then, she entered the cave.

“You are late.” Coza spat accusingly. He was angry.

“I am so sorry, Master. It’s hard getting out of the palace this days.” She said.

“Update me on what is happening now. I heard the Vetta is in the dungeon?”

“Yes. The King has not decided her fate.”

“The bîtch made her mistake years ago. I offered her heaven and she declined because of the Prince. Now, look where she is.” He snickered.

“Update me on everything.” He ordered.

The girl did. Going over all the details she knows.

“Alright. Keep me updated.” He stated after several minutes.

“I will, Master. I have to go back now before someone n-notices my absence.”

He nodded. “That will be a bad thing. The Prince will kill you for being a traitor. Especially if he digs into your case and realize that you have a hand in cousin’s death.”

The girl shuddered just at the thought of that. She knows she can easily lay the accusations on the Mistress, but she hopes she can be able to avoid such encounter.

“I have to go.” She repeated.

“Keep me updated.” He stated firmly.
