Chapter 45: The Weight of Denial
Darius’ POV
“Darius! You can't just let her threaten me like that! This is too much and I will not let that bitch slide!” Rachelle stormed into my room, demanding to punish Vishiea—or should I say Anastasia.
That's because of the letter she received. I don't have any idea about that letter.
“Can you please calm down, Rachelle,” I glared at her, but she's determined to punish her.
“No! I can't calm down while that bitch is staying in this kingdom! Darius! Can't you see? You've been distant to me since that bitch arrived here!” She shouted again. I let out a deep breath and rested my back on the chair.
“Fuck! Stop this nonsense! That letter is just a joke!” I shouted, which made her scared but at the same time mad because of what I said.
“Joke? Can you hear yourself? Someone is threatening me and you consider it a joke?! If you don't want to believe in me then it's alright! I will make that bitch pay for what she did to me!” She said firmly. I stood up and walked towards her.
I’m already losing control of her. Why does she always have to be this impulsive! She will be the future queen of this kingdom, yet she's acting inappropriately.
“I am already conducting my investigation, Rachelle. Don't you dare ruin my plan. I am the king and I decide what to do and what not to do!” I held her chin tightly. Her eyes widened because of what I did.
“Darius! Let go of me!” She said, trying to push me away but she knows I am stronger than her.
“Do you understand?” I asked her, and she immediately nodded her head. I let go of her.
“Leave my room, if you still want me to recognize you as my fiancé,” I said, which made her hurriedly leave.
My head hurts badly from the mess she made. I don't want the guests to misinterpret that this kingdom has a king who doesn't have the ability to lead. Now I have to fix what she just did. I sat on the chair again to relax when someone entered.
“Your Majesty, just like what you said, they went to the holdfall,” Kiro, my trusted assistant, reported to me.
What are they doing in that place? I stood up firmly and wore simple clothes. In this way no one could notice that I am the king. I opened the door and was about to get out when Kiro stopped me.
“Your Majesty, you forgot your hat.” He hurriedly gave it to me. I wasted no time and immediately walked out of the palace.
What are they both doing in that place? Kiro followed me. I’ve been following her since yesterday. Trying to find out who she actually is. I know it's her, I can't be wrong. She's Vishiea and no matter how she hides the truth from me I will always find a way to know her real identity.
“Your Majesty, we've been following her since yesterday and eyeing her since she went here, but we found nothing. Maybe she's not the one who sent the death threat,” Kiro said while walking beside me.
I scoff. No one knows I’ve been eyeing her for days.
I know Kiro is the only one I can trust. If she was not the one who sent that gift then who else could it be?
Why doesn't she just admit that she’s Vishiea and stop pretending to be Anastasia Cullen.
I never heard that a lone lycan had a daughter. It's the first time I met her and I was expecting that she actually looked like Vishiea, my mate.
I don't know what to do. I just wanted to talk to her and make her confess. I just feel that she's Vishiea and not Anastasia. Whenever I see her I remember Vishiea. She's reminding me of our memories.
“That's not the only thing I want to know about, Kiro. I want to know who she really is.” I answered him. We arrived at the holdfall. The gate was open and I was about to enter when I saw them talking.
My gaze went to Vishiea, she's smiling while listening to Nathan.
What is their relationship? Why do they have to come here to talk? I closed my fist while watching how close they are.
“Your Majesty, are you alright? It seems like Knight Nathan and Lady Anastasia are having a great time.” When Kiro said that I immediately held his clothes and glared at him, which made his mouth shut.
“You should stop saying that or I’ll send you to war, Kiro.” I warned him. We hid behind the flowers. I watched her closely.
She really looks exactly like Vishiea. She can't blame me if I insisted that it was her, because it's actually her. I don't care if she denies it a million times. All I know is that she can't hide the truth from me forever.
My jaw clenched as I saw Nathan tuck the strand of her hair behind her ears.
“Don't you think we're disturbing their intimate moment?” Kiro uttered. I gritted my teeth as I watched how close they were.
Fuck! Why am I feeling this?
They were staring into each other's eyes. I even heard her giggles. Even her voice is familiar to me. Her body, her face, they are familiar with me.
“Lady Anastasia,” Nathan slowly got closer to her. I can't watch this fucking scene anymore!
I stormed into the place while Kiro was catching his breath while following me.
Fuck! Are those two together?
“Your Majesty, are you alright?” Kiro asked but I am not in the mood to answer his stupid question. I am obviously not okay.
Vishiea, why are you doing this to me? It's fucking painful to see you with another guy. You're supposed to be with me.
“Your Majesty,” Kiro called me but I immediately went to my room and locked it.
I started to throw everything I saw in my room.
“This feeling, I can't control it!” I smashed the furniture on the table.
“Your Majesty, what's happening inside?” I heard Rachelle's voice but I didn't care.
“Get the fuck out of my room now! I don't want to see any of you! Anyone who disobeys my command will die!” I shouted at them.
