Chapter 43


Amelia's POV. 

Just then, a maid walked in to serve food and I decided to use that opportunity to make Freya look more like a fool and the wicked witch that she was. As luck may have it, she happened to turn to face me again just the same time the maid had gotten closer to us, making it a perfect opportunity for me as I quickly pretended to have been pushed by her —Freya, and fell towards the maid with the tray of food. 

“Ahh… stop Freya!” I screamed, pretending to have been pushed by her and pushed the tray of food in the maid's hand, acting like I was trying to catch myself and making the entire meal fall and it scattered on Freya's body.

Everyone gasped in awe of what just happened, and the maid lowered to the ground in shiver as she packed the trash. Damien was so embarrassed that he raged in fury.  

“I'm–I'm sorry. I didn't mean to, I was only trying to catch myself from falling, she pushed mme.” I quickly apologized, acting emotional to get their pity. 

“You liar! I didn't do that, I didn't push you!” Freya argued, still in shock of what just happened as she screeched her body without hesitation trying to remove the particles of food on her body before she quickly grabbed hold of me in fury. 

“You little brat, how dare you?!” She lashed out in rage.

“I didn't do anything, let me go” I said, pretending to be intimidated by her. 

“You are so silly and stupid, you caused all this you wench. You first tried to steal my man and my position from me, now you have the guts to make a mess of my clothes by spilling this food on me to ruin my dress. You are nothing but a slut!” Freya slammed, fuming in anger as she held tightly to my wrist. 

I pretended to be weak and hurt by Freya's words as I weakly tried to free myself from her grip. 

“I didn't do anything, you caused it, you pushed me and I was just trying to hold myself from falling.” I argued, trying to free my hand as I acted weak under Freya's hold.  

The atmosphere of the room was already getting tensed by the drama Freya had just pulled. The guests were all looking confused and didn't understand what was going on. Damien on the other had tried to control Freya but she refused to listen to him, fuming as she created even more of a fuss in the hall. 

“What the hell is wrong with you Freya? Stop this madness and control yourself.” Damien said, trying to make Freya stop but she got worse, pulling out her madness more as she also started to insult Damien.

“Don't you dare tell me to calm down Damien.” Freya blew hot at Damien. 

“Aren’t you ashamed of yourself? This was all you Damien, you brought this thing here, you chose to come with her instead of me. All these wouldn't have happened if you had chosen to come with me, your Luna instead of this worthless loser of lady you brought here. Look at my body Damien!” Freya barked, the corners of her lips twitching into a silly mock smile. 

Damien was so embarrassed by Freya's words that he almost lost his temper on her, I could literally see how much he was trying to hold himself from giving Freya a slap in front of his guests when he clenched his fist so hard.

“You must learn to discipline yourself, learn to be a mannered young lady!” Damien lashed out in anger, his face rigid and void of emotions as he pulled Freya's hand away from mine. 

I felt relieved at that instant and robbed my wrist, still feeling some pains from Freya's grip.

Though I had inconvenienced myself to feel pain by allowing Freya to hurt my wrist, I still enjoyed the sight of the scene Freya had just created. She made it more epic than I had thought and that made me feel good. I laughed inwardly in satisfaction at the scene Freya had created, and how much she had disgraced Damien. 

The two fools sweetly danced to my beat and caused a dent to their status. They made it all appealing to me, after all I was not fully involved in the scandal since my face was covered by my mask. I will not be recognized out there without a mask, but they had made a permanent stain and it will stick to the minds of the visitors and the ears of the outsiders. 

My eyes immediately went to where the guests were, they were all staring at the scene, almost in shock. They were beginning to look impatient and confused and I know that if they should propose to leave, Damien will lose the business deal with them and that will be quite tragic to him.

I wondered if Freya had thought the same way before showing up to pull her drama. I know that if Freya was a smart and intelligent person, she could have kept this aside and waited for Damien to finish up with his guests, but her selfishness could not allow her to think otherwise. She was obviously after her position as Luna alone, yet she has no wisdom to become a Luna. 

Damien's words seemed to have made her get hold of her emotions a bit. She grumbled and fumed inwardly without saying more words. Though Damien was already upset by her actions, he still tried to keep composure and sort out the problem. 

“Accompany her to her chamber so she could change into something better.” Damien turned and said to a maid before Freya stormed out of the hall in vexation. 

“I think we should adjourn this meeting to some other time, Alpha Damien. You need to sort out your family differences.” One of the guests said as Freya left with the maid after seeing what had just happened.

“Yes, he is right Alpha Damien, you need to sort out your family differences. Maybe some other time, we can talk about business but for now, you need to put clarity in there.” The second person added.  

I could see how uncomfortable they were, it was visible and evident on their faces. I knew they wanted to leave and they also looked fed up by the earlier occurrence. 

Damien looked frustrated at the request they had just made, he looked unhappy and exasperated about the entire thing but I knew that we should let these people leave.  

I could tell how important this meeting was to him from the disappointment plastered on his face, and he might not respond to me if this should happen. 

I also saw this as an opportunity for me to gain more ground on his side and make him fall more for me and favour me more, instead of Freya. I knew that if I should do something to convince these people to stay back, Damien would be more than excited and grateful and he would take my words more than that of Freya.

It was more like a golden opportunity for me and I was ready to grab it!.
