Chapter 55: Unmasking the Truth
Vishiea’s POV
After the Ball. I still couldn't forget what the king said. Does he know that I am Vishiea? How dare him utter my father's name? How dare he look at me like I am just a piece of toy.
I will not forget what he did to me. Is it possible that the award was not a coincidence? Did he plan for that?
After the award, I left immediately at the grand hall. I was shaken in anger that night and left without telling Cassie and Liliane.
Now I don't know whether to attend the final ball or not.
While I was getting ready someone opened the door without knocking. I thought it was Yana but when I turned around I saw Darius. My eyes widened. He even locked the door.
“What are you doing in my room?” I asked him. Demanding for an answer. What is he doing here at this hour? Does anyone see him get inside?
“I– I want to talk to you. Please, I hate it when you're looking at me that way,” he said while trying to close the wall to me.
“This is unacceptable. You try to barge inside my room. Just because you want to talk to me.” I told him. He held my hand but I immediately distanced myself from him.
“A king who doesn't have manners shouldn't be respected.” I said while glaring at him. He let out a deep sigh.
“Vishiea, just admit it. It's you. You can't deny it to me anymore,” he said, still insisting. I looked at him frustratedly. What the heck is wrong with this man?! Why can't he just leave me alone?
“You're beyond the line. Get out now,” I said while pointing the door at him. But he didn't even move an inch.
“Stop this shit and just admit it! Quit pretending to be Vishiea! I know that you, and there's no way on earth you can lie to me!” He shouted. I was shocked because of what he did.
He just shouted at me right now. This is fucking insane.
“Believe whatever you want to believe! That's none of my business anymore! I told you I am Anastasia Cullen yet you didn't even dare to respect my identity?!” I shouted at him back. He just looked at me in shock but soon smiled.
What the heck is his problem with smiling at me like that?
“See? That's you and there is no way on earth I wouldn't recognize that voice, that face, that body, the bond we have. That's you,” he said and held my hand.
He stares into my eyes. But then I remember what happened the other day. After the fight, he looked at Rachelle with concern, carrying her out of the fighting ground.
“Enough! Vishiea is already dead. I don't give a fucking care about her, she's long gone and that's because of you! You betrayed her! You chose another woman neglecting your own mate! You don't deserve Vishiea. And no matter what you say and do I will never be her,” I told him. Each word sounds of anger.
I pushed him away. Didn't even look at him.
I've had enough with his game. If I could only tell him what's inside my heart right now. If he could only hear and feel all my pain and sorrow he wouldn't have the guts to talk to me like that.
“Get out, I don't give a fucking care if you're the king. If you want me to respect you then you should also know to respect someone's privacy,” I uttered. He didn't say a word.
He nodded his head and left my room. I let out a deep breath as soon as I felt him leave.
I fucking curse their pictures enjoying the ball last night like a real family. Now he's coming back to me with the same excuses? How dare he say exactly what he wants to imply!
“Lady Anastasia?” The door opened and Yana entered. I forced a smile.
“I saw the king walking out of your room.” She said. Damn him! Is this actually what he wants? To make them think that he's still after Vishiea that's why he's acting like that?
He has no shame in himself!
“Right, the king was just asking about something and at the same time he's congratulating me for last night's event,” I lied. She nodded without any suspicions.
“Lady Anastasia, Knight Nathan told me he’ll be waiting for you outside.” She said, and I wasn't informed that he would fetch me.
“Tell him to wait for me in a minute,” I said and hurriedly picked a dress. This time I chose the red color. This shows skin but it's perfect since it's the last and final ball for tonight.
After I am done I only put a generous amount of make up on my face. After that I am ready to go.
When I opened the door Nathan was already there waiting for me. He offered his hand and I accepted it.
“Such a wonderful view,” he uttered. I chuckled because of what he said. We went to the event. The party has already started. Cassie and Liliane are already here waiting for us. They even gave a teasing look when they saw Nathan and I walking together.
“You're both gorgeous and handsome,” Liliane said.
Nathan offered a seat. While the music played my attention shifted to Rachelle. She's looking at me with a victorious smile.
I suddenly get anxious. What does that mean?
“What's wrong with that bitch?” Cassie asked. I just ignored her. But then she suddenly went on stage.
“Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention please?” She said while her eyes were on me.
What exactly is she planning to do?
She looked at the former king and queen.
“What is she doing there?” Liliane asked. But her sly smile…
“Our important guest, Anastasia Cullen,” she paused and everyone looked at me with confusion.
“Rachelle, what are you doing?” Darius approached her but Rachelle was determined on her plan.
“This bitch tells that she's the daughter of a lone Lycan, Kiara Cullen. But the truth is, she’s Vishiea Craine who was exiled in this kingdom. She's not the real daughter of Kiara; she was only adopted as soon as she was exiled.” She said and everyone was shocked including Darius.
I am lost for words.
“Is that true?” Cassie looked at me.
“You're Vishiea?” Liliane uttered.
“It's you,” Nathan said. I looked at everyone's face and felt deceived. I stood up and left the event. I ran as fast as I could, avoiding anyone to follow me.
How did she find out?
