Chapter 425
425-F*ck You All.
“Lazlo!” I groaned, staring at him and not understanding why he wasn’t responding to me.
“Would you at least say something?” I demanded to know, but he turned his face to the other side. Atthis point, I pretty much knew my fate.
I leaned back with my eyes, searching for answers from someone who wasn’t even communicatingwith me. The slow and painful fear of getting into trouble was much worse now that I was merely ahuman.
“Guys! What is going on?” Maynard rushed downstairs with Christina, leaving others upstairs to ask us.The silence gave him an answer. I realized I cannot trust anyone, but at least I need to give it a try.They have played me; why can’t I ask them to help me out of this mess?
“Would you accept me?” I asked, not raising my face but hearing a gasp from Christina.
“How dare you?” Christina grunted, not accepting the fact that I asked Maynard that question.
“You have always wanted a second chance from me. You told me you were sorry for your mistakes inthe past. So tell me, would you accept me?” I asked him again, looking directly into his eyes this time.He looked baffled and lost. Lazlo got up from beside me and started chuckling sarcastically.
“Amazing!” he clicked his tongue. I didn’t have time to react to his misery. He cannot leave me introuble and expects me not to look for help elsewhere.
“Tell me, Maynard!” I demanded again, watching Christina
hold his hand tightly and pull him back a little.
“You said you wanted to be with me. What if I tell you if you say yes tonight, I am all yours?” I hated thefact that I was so miserable that offering my love to him was the only option left. And I wasn’t going toback down from my side of the deal, even if I felt angry and betrayed by him for the rest of my life forwhat he did a day ago.
“Maynard! Tell me,” I requested, getting on my feet and watching him lower his face and then c*ck hishead toward Christina. So he pretty much gave me his answer.
I was chasing after a lost cause. None of these people were going to help me out of this mess. Istepped back from them and watched them one by one, staring back at me-some in anger and some inguilt.
“Did you expect us to stand beside you after what you did to us?” Christina scoffed, making no sense atthe moment.
“So! Has the decision been made already?” Corbin walked downstairs, rubbing his palms excitedly.
“Yes!” I declared. “I would like to object to this bullsh*t. I would go to the trial, if necessary, to rest mycase.” I stated as loudly as I could. My so-called parents came downstairs to join us, watching mebreathe heavily and holding back tears as I made big claims.
“And why would you do that?” Corbin approached me, standing in my face and staring at me withoutbreaking eye contact. He was challenging me, but I was not going to back down. I would not goanywhere with him.
“Because I refuse to go with you,” I said, not backing down even when he had reached me in the face.
“I would love to see you try. However, the council has already signed the papers, so you will be wastingnot only your time but theirs too.” Corbin had a smirk on his face when explaining to me how he hadcornered me into submission.
“Well, it is not like we have anything better to do with our time,” I murmured, holding in the tears andtrying to look confident.
“Anyway, your mate already gave you up.” Corbin checked something on his phone and stated thisvery proudly. My eyes traveled to Lazlo, who finally showed some form of life by moving a muscle.
“You were given time to object, Lazlo. Your silence helped the council understand you are notobjecting.” As Corbin explained, Lazlo looked around in shock. I loved how suddenly he was pretendingto be fooled.
“But I didn’t know I had a deadline,” Lazlo argued, taking steps ahead to reach Corbin, whose eyeswere still fixated on my face.novelbin
“Ah! You should have said something then,” Corbin said, and my mind froze. So I am done here?
“But— But I needed some time to think,” Lazlo argued, and this time he even stuttered. I didn’t want toact innocent anymore. He made his decision and helped me understand that there was nothing leftbetween us.
“Time to reevaluate your Luna’s worth? Did you need hours to
decide if you want your beautiful Luna to be sent over to my mansion to sleep with me? Lazlo! if youneed a second to think, trust me, she worth nothing to you,” Corbin said what I was thinking. A frowncrept over Lazlo’s forehead when he heard about my value in his life from someone else’s mouth.
I couldn’t say I was surprised anymore. I tried my best to engage with him after our marriage, but Ialways felt something was missing. He tried bending me and making me turn into someone that I wasnot.
“I will talk to the council. They cannot accept this rule,” Maynard argued this time, but the grip aroundhis hand from Christina made him silent once again.
“You guys can try.” Corbin shrugged. “Now! For tonight—-,” Corbin stated, clearing his throat and hidingthe huge smile behind a fake serious face.
“I am not going anywhere with you,” I repeated myself. “I don’ t care if anybody stood up for me or not.With or without my powers, I can stand on my feet and defend myself. I don’t want to go anywhere withyou, and I will see how anyone can force me into doing so.” I clenched my fists and muttered. Tearswere begging to leave my eyes, but I refused to cry. At least not here when Elaine was watching uswith a literal bowl of popcorn in her hands.
“Ah! In that case—,” Corbin stepped back and snapped his fingers. Just a snap and his guards bargedin to take matters into their own hands.
