Chapter 62 Chapter 62) Humiliated.
“How dare they treat me that way?! I have never felt so humiliated in my life!”. Kira stood in front of her decorated wall mirror as she said.
Because of the frustration she was feeling, she scattered the things on top of her table, and they fell to the ground, before she groaned loudly as she recalled the scene that happened to her.
How she was thrown out of the mansion.
And how she was denied access into the mansion again because of that damn Luna. She ruffled her hair, and when her gaze returned to the mirror, she was panting fast, and her hair was in a mess.
She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth so badly, to the extent she tasted blood on her tongue.
Her eyes turned bloodshot. “That damn Demira”. She muttered and was about to punch the mirror.
But, there was a knock on the door before she could do that, which made her frown deepen.
“Who is it?!”. She raised her voice at the person, not realizing that it was her father.
“Can I come in?”.
Her eyes softened as she heard her father's voice, and instantly, she regretted raising her voice at him, even though it was a mistake.
“Shit”. She cursed under her breath, before she quickly arranged her hair and tried to look natural.
After a quick glance at her reflection in the mirror, she went to the door and opened it with a smile. “Good morning, father”. She greeted him.
Last night, she could not sleep, so as soon as it was morning, she left the house and went to the Lycan King’s mansion.
Her father was not even aware that she had left the house.
“My precious princess”. He said, and as he tried to enter her bedroom, she remembered the mess she had made and stopped him because of that.
She didn't want him to see it.
Her father's suspicious gaze on her made her come up with an excuse: “Oh, my room is in a mess. My clothes are everywhere. I don't want you to see such a thing”.
Listening to her words made elder Edward's eyes darken. “Didn't Phoebe take care of cleaning your room and make sure that it's in order?”. He asked.
“Em-”. She tried to say something, but he turned and left before she could, and she could only go after him to see what he was up to.
They arrived in the kitchen, where they saw Phoebe busy preparing breakfast.
But she stopped chopping the onions when she saw them.
“Greetings, Elder Edward. Greetings, lady Kira”. She greeted them with a smile. Unfortunately, what came next was Elder Edward’s harsh voice as he scolded her.
“How could you, Phoebe? Don't I pay you enough?! My daughter's bedroom is in a mess right now”.
“What do you have to say about that?!”. He asked her and felt his blood boil, as he was angry.
Kira was the precious and only daughter his lover gave birth to for him before she died in his arms due to excess bleeding from childbirth.
At first, he wanted to blame his daughter for the death of his wife, but upon recalling his wife's last words before she took her last breath, he could not bear to hurt their daughter or blame her, because he knew that if he treated their daughter coldly, his wife would not be at peace wherever she was.
Ever since that day, he began to treat Kira like the precious gem he could not bear to lose.
He began to treat her like the apple of his eyes and would grow mad if he as little as saw a drop of tear escape her eye, or when he noticed that someone had not treated her the way she deserved.
Just like now.
He felt like Phoebe had treated her wrongly by not having her room properly arranged, like it ought to be.
‘What?’. Phoebe thought and was totally confused and did not understand how that happened.
If she recalled correctly, she cleaned the room last night before Kira went to bed.
And, she remembered she cleaned the room this morning after she noticed Kira leaving the house. So, how come? How did the room become messy?
That was something she did not understand, or was able to understand.
A drop of sweat formed on her forehead. “Elder Edward, I-”. Her eyes widened, and she was not able to finish what she wanted to say after she noticed the way Kira was glaring at her.
It was as if Kira was warning her to keep her mouth shut, and it was worse for her because elder Edward was not seeing the cold look on his daughter's face.
“I- I am sorry, elder Edward! Please forgive me!”. She fell to her knees as she pleaded guilty, even after knowing fully well that she had not done anything wrong. She did not want to be on Kira's bad side, because she knew just how scary she could be.
It was unfortunate that elder Edward was not aware of the kind of daughter he had.
He sighed after she apologized, then he turned to Kira, his daughter, “I am sorry that you have to go through this, my dear. I promise, this won't happen again”.
After assuring her, he returned his gaze to Phoebe. “Get up”. He ordered her, and after a little bit of hesitation, she rose to her feet. “Make sure that this doesn't repeat itself again. You can go. Go and make sure that my daughter's room is properly cleaned before you return to the kitchen”. He added, and she obeyed him by leaving everything in the kitchen behind and making her way to Kira's room.
She was going there to clean up. But at the same time, she was curious to know what was wrong with the bedroom she had cleaned.
But other than that, she felt mistreated.
If it were up to her, she would have quit working in the house and returned to her father's home.
But, she really needed the money. That was why she had endured working in the house for this long.
