Chapter 421 Getting Played (Helel Spade)
I have tucked her nicely in the bed and set her stuff in the room while I am sleeping on the couch.
‘We have to cut down on the nightly routine now,’ I told Hel, who seemed to be very excited at the ideaof us having a child. As for me, I wasn’t too sure. I didn’t feel too connected. I was just trying to do theright thing.
‘We must get all the books to read on taking care of a newborn baby or a pregnant weredragon,’ Helsuggested, and I gave him a nod.
I won’t be sneaking out too often at night and will try to guide my guards to do the job because Gwenwill need protection. The woods are a wild place, and she is pregnant. I will need to personally bearound to take care of her.
While I was getting ready to prepare breakfast I heard a knock on the door, and upon answering, I sawmy brothers, Colt and Reign, entering the house.
“You found her last night? Did she tell you why she was leaving?” Reign asked as she sat down on thecouch, and the others joined her. I was trying my best not to point a finger at Zane, but the way he wasacting like he was worried was irking me.
I don’t know what happened to us brothers or when he turned so negative, but I was uncomfortable inhis presence now. After what he said and did to Gwen, he shouldn’t even have come here, but that wasthe beauty of it. He must be waiting for me to say something so that he can say Gwen is pining usagainst each other.
“She said she wanted to leave and be with her friend because she felt lonely,” I didn’t lie entirely, but Iconcealed a lot of information for the time being.
“Oh. So, she is not leaving then?” Zane asked, and I tried to hold the harshness in.
“No!” I shook my head. “She will stay here with me under my care and protection because she is givingbirth to my baby, the one who will get my name and will be respected.”
I watched Zane nod his head and completely ignore the fact that this comment was directed at him.
“I was preparing so much food for her, and she left. But worry not; I will pack some stuff and bring ithere,” Zane smiled innocently, and for a moment, he was able to fool me as well. But then I saw rightthrough him and recalled Gwen’s words, and I refused to believe a word he said.
“That is very kind of you, but I think there will be no need for it. She will eat what I feed her,” I said, andeverybody frowned.
“You are not suggesting that—,” Zane pointed a finger at his chest and smiled awkwardly before hissmile vanished and his eyes narrowed in my face.
“Oh! You think I will hurt the baby?” His question turned the attention of everyone to me.
“No! There is no way he would suggest that. We were with you, and we saw how excited you were forthe baby to be a part of our family,” Maddox being too innocent among us, patted Zane’s shoulder toconsole him, but Zane knew at this point that I had been told of his actions.
“What did she say about why she left the mansion, Helel?” Zane asked me directly this time. I wantedto not talk about it, but hiding it wouldn’t make sense.
There were explanations that needed to be made, and I honestly wanted Zane to prove me wrong. I amsure that would make me raise my eyebrow at Gwen, but at least I will not have to fight my own brotherfor saying all those things about my baby.
“She told me everything,” I finally said.
“Helel,” I heard Gwen suddenly come out of the room and complain.
“What? I am not afraid to tell the truth. He needs to explain his behavior,” I said to her and turned toface Zane again, who got up on his feet to face me.
“What? Please tell me what is going on?” The urgency in Zane’s voice and his body language showedguilt at getting caught.
“Why did you kick her out of the house? Why did you prevent her from cooking for herself? Don’t youknow she is pregnant and she needs proper nutrition?” I felt bad for even reminding him something thathe should have known himself.
“Okay, I don’t know what is happening, but from what I remember, Zane was cooking for her,” Colt heldhis hand up to defend Zane.
“I was there too,” Reign intervened.
“And me too,” Maddox whispered, shaking his head at me in disbelief.
I am sure they were upset, but why would Gwen lie?
“Gwen,” I turned and eyed her, repeating everything he had told me. She looked so petrified now.
“He kicked me out,” she summarized it, but the gasp from others was towards the fact that theybelieved she was lying.novelbin
“Why would I kick you out?” Zane asked, his eyes forming tears but a broken smile staying intact on hislips.
“You texted me, Gwen. You told me you don’t want to be around us and that you should be staying withHelel,” Zane didn’t hold back and muttered on the other side of the story to shake us more.
“And you did just that. You really played well. Look at you; you are in his cabin now, and he is takingcare of you, but why ruin my relationship with him?” Zane wasn’t stopping anymore. He keptyammering and pointing a finger at Gwen, who was acting shocked.
“I never texted you anything,” she gulped, refusing to accept it.
“Do you have that texts with you?” Maddox got up from his seat and asked Zane, who withouthesitation pulled out his phone, and sure enough, there was the text he was talking about.
Now the issue was that I had promised to take care of her. Why the hell did she lie to me?
