Chapter 42 CHAPTER 42
Daciana POV

“I do, Warrick,” I said facing him and I took his hand. “Luna is no longer by my side, but promise me that you will not leave or betray me like she did.”

Warrick’s face went green as I ran my hand up his arm, my hand skidded up his chest and then up his neck, as though I was looking for support. 

“I promise to make him see that what he was doing was wrong,” he said. I smiled inwardly as I noticed him gulp. I loved the effect I had on him and also, he had a certain effect on me, but I had to swallow them down for the higher cause. I had to fake my pregnancy on Kendrick.

“Thank you, Warrick. I wished Kendrick was a little bit like you.” I pressed my lips into a thin line as a tear dropped from my eyes and ran down my cheek. His eyes were filled with so much pity– he was where I just wanted him. 

I stepped back slowly. “I should leave now.” I placed my hand on my temple. “I have a headache. I would need to visit the nurse.”

I didn’t wait for him to say anything before I rushed out of the room, his eyes following me. I closed the door and smiled outwardly, wiping my face. “Fool, I have you wrapped around my finger.”

The sound of footsteps made me freeze. Someone was there. I turned and it was Lily, the maid who lied to eat the cake to save Kyla. I gritted my teeth as I saw her step out of a room. “What did you hear?” I asked her. 

Lily shrugged and shook her head, replying, “Nothing ma.”

I balled my fist, fueled with anger as she turned to leave. “Wait.” I called and she stopped. “Weren’t you the one who dared to lie to me earlier that you ate the cake?” 

She paused, dropped the bucket and mop in her hand and she sighed. “Ma, I only–” her hand went to scratch the back of her head.

I raised my hand and stopped her. “You wanted to be a hero. You would pay for it.” I stormed up to her and she backed away, till her back pressed on the door. I smiled wickedly and grabbed her hair. She yelped slightly and I looked up to make sure Warrick didn’t hear it. “Keep shut, else I will skin you alive.”

I pushed her to the ground, she gasped and rushed her knee that had scraped against the marble floor and started to bleed. “That was only the beginning. Up now!!”

She rushed to her feet on my command, her eyes wet with tears as she placed her hands together. “Please madam. I promise–”

A slap cut her off. “I would punish you for your mistake, and no one would stop me.” I grabbed her arm, and pulled her towards the dungeon. I needed to lock her up to teach her a lesson and she would never stand against me again or try to defend that mate snatcher.

“Where are you taking her?” Kyla’s voice rang through the air and I froze mid step, my grip loosened on Lily’s arm and I didn’t know why.
