Chapter 56: Shattered Revelations
Vishiea’s POV
How did she find out it was me? Is this actually her plan from the very beginning? To announce my identity in front of everyone?
I thought she's weak and dumb. But she's also clever. She found out my identity that easily. I saw how everyone's face changed as they looked at me.
I am not afraid that my real identity will be revealed. What I am afraid of are the people who are already attached to me.
What if they hated me too much for lying? Cassie and Liliane, including Nathan. I saw their faces with questions written on them.
I kept on running away from the ball. But as I was about to finally reach my room, someone grabbed me by the hand.
I was shocked and didn't even feel that someone was following me.
“Vishiea,” he suddenly hugged me tight. I tried to push him but he never gave me a chance.
“Let go of me, Darius,” I said firmly. But he didn't. Instead, he hugged me even tighter.
I tried to get away from his embrace. He didn't even move an inch.
“I know it's you.” He whispered. I was stunned to hear his voice crack.
“Let go of me, Darius. You're not allowed to fucking touch me!” I pushed him as hard as I could.
“Vishiea, please let me explain everything.” He tried to touch me but I slapped him hard. Tears started to well up in my eyes.
“Explain everything?! For what?! I already forgot about you!” I tried not to cry. He looked straight into my eyes.
He looked at me with eyes full of longing.
“Vishiea, I– I love you,” he uttered. I laughed sarcastically while staring into his eyes.
Love me? Does he still know what love means? Is he joking right now? A king who talks like he knows what love actually is?
He's stupid as ever! Love doesn't mean hurting someone close to you! Love is not something you can just say! It is something you need to make them feel!
After all those years, my anger even doubled while hearing his words. That's not even love. That's not even care! It was betrayal, pain, and sorrow. How dare he tell me that he loves me?
“Shut up, Darius. You don't love me, you don't mean anything we had. You don't need to pretend that you still care about me because after all those years, I have already moved on. I already forgot all those things we had. I tried, and I did forget you.” I said, wiping my tears. He didn't say a word; he just looked at me.
“I’ve had enough of your lies!” I shouted at him. He watched me let out my frustrations.
I’ve endured the pain for how many years. Yet it's so easy for him to say that he still loves me? Did he forget what he did to me? Did he ever think that he hurt me? Did he ever love me before?
I fucking died while thinking of what happened to my parents and to our families. I regret spending my whole fucking life with him.
“Vishiea, it's not what you think. Please.” He tried to hold my hand but I didn't give him a chance.
I scoffed. It's not what I think? Rejecting me in front of everyone, saying we're no longer in a relationship? He rejected me and I couldn't accept his rejection, but he's too heartless.
This shit doesn't even know what he's talking about right now.
“Darius.” That voice made us both silent. His father came here for what? To mock me? To threaten me?
He knew when he saw me that I was Vishiea, but why didn’t he do anything? Or didn’t he?
Did Rachelle and he, together with the queen, plan all of this?
“We're done, Darius, so long ago. I already forgot that you exist,” I told him before finally leaving him.
He didn't even follow me. He only watched me leave. If he actually loved someone, he would not let it disappear.
I wiped my tears while leaving. He can't make me stay just by calling me by my name. I’m done with him. I know that he's still in love with Rachelle.
He wouldn't choose her over me if he didn't love her.
I went to the nearest restroom. I watched myself crying. This kingdom has caused me too much pain.
I wiped my tears and was about to get out of the restroom when Rachelle entered with a victorious smile.
“Well, well…well. Have you enjoyed the surprise?” she asked, crossing her arms in front of me. I closed my fist yet I smiled. She was surprised because of it.
“What do you think? I don't even care if they know who I really am. Besides, Vishiea or Anastasia, that's all for me. The only difference is that Vishiea only lived in the past, while Anastasia is living in the future.” I told her. She glared at me.
“Really? I wasn't surprised at all when you showed up here. You can't really hide who you are, Vishiea or Anastasia, bitch. You're still the one who got rejected by the mate, the one who had no one and was exiled by the king,” she said confidently. Instead of getting mad, I forced myself to smile.
“Really? What about you? An insecure woman who can't even defeat me?” I sarcastically chuckled.
She got mad and attacked me. But before she could hurt me, I kicked her hard.
That's for messing with me, bitch.
“Fuck you!” She tried to stand up. I smirked while watching her groaning in pain.
“Fuck you a million times, Rachelle. You're just nothing but a piece of shit. No matter what you do, you can't surpass my level.” As I said that, I left her. I went to my room. Luckily, no one was there.
As I opened the door, Yana was already there waiting for me.
“You're Vishiea,” she said. It seems like the news spread rapidly. I nodded my head.
“I’m sorry, but you have to read this.” She said, handing me the letter.
“The messenger gave it to me. He's already at the exit waiting for you. My condolences, Lady Anastasia,” she uttered.
I got confused because of what she said, but then as I read the letter, my world was destroyed.
“No, it can't be. Mother Kiara is not dead.”
