Chapter 113 : A fucking lie!
Chapter 113 : A fucking lie!
Lena POV
"You lied to me!"
"I did that to protect you!"
"How could you? I trusted you Adam" I argued as my anger heats up and I was brewing in anger.
I tried not to cry as I swallowed hard, losing my mind.
"You were the killer!"
I just couldn't bring myself to believing it. But he didn't fight back. It was obvious he wanted me to crash out.
A knock came through and it was the replica.
"Is everything okay in there?"
I sniffed breathing hard as I narrowed my eyes at the door.
He almost responded but I shoved the door open.
"Yes Mom. I'm talking to Adam, would you mind not interrupting?" I snapped but tried not to appear rude so she doesn't suspect me.
"Uhmm, when you're done...I made pancake..."
He appeared just behind me, his breathe poured on me and he placed his palm on mine.
But I flinched.
"We'd be downstairs soon" he whispered beneath his breath.
She left and I turned to look at him.
"Move!"
He did just that.
"I get you want me to hate on your brother's but in reality, you're just the bad person"
"That you're attracted to"
My jaw dropped as I sucked my breath.
"Never!"
He closed up the space between us, his palms on my cheeks now and I was shivering.
"Are you sure about that?"
My eyes danced in their sockets as I pushed his hand away, stepping back.
"I was wrong back but now, you're just a monster who deserves to be brought to court..."
"They're bad people!"
"Then why are there courts to punish such people?"
"You and I know it's a washed policy! And even if you're an alpha, you still have to follow the rules"
I opened my mouth but the words weren't adding up until I placed my palm out.
"I was trying to make a difference! Did you even trust my reign? I might appear weak but I fucking have a plan!"
He sniffed, his eyes twitches as I could sense how troubled he was.
"You involved their kids..."
"They're washed up too, having no good in them..."
As he spoke, he was just justifying his actions as he spat in rage, viberating.
"And what does that make you?"
He went still, panting hard.
"Answer me? Does that make you a saint? Do the people rejoice that they are gone? And the family of the victims who wishes to see these people, cuss at them and witness their death..."
"They'd be glad they were executed"
"Adam!!"
He shrugged his shoulders, ran his fingers in his hair.
"You know the laws doesn't favor executions of elders..."
"Because you haven't been in the palace and barely know the changes!" I charged widening my eyes at him.
He grimanced, heaved and then crossed his arms.
Why the fuck am I still talking to a killer!
"Enlighten me because as of recent, a gamma has been associated with selling of pups, yet he still have a sitting in the palace"
I was speechless as I furrowed my brows at him, startled.
"Lena, you'd see that I was never wrong"
"Yes you are! A manipulator, a murderer. Now I see why Athena didn't react to your presence, because she knew it was you!"
He looked sober now, his face had turned pale as I didn't want to continue throwing banters at him.
"Lena, I'm sorry, I just wanted justice in a way..."
"Then certainly, you'd have me killed wouldn't you?" I asked holding his shaky gaze.
"I mean you never disobey her do you?" I pressed on but he was quiet as he reached to hold my forearm but I tossed it away.
"See you in court"
With that said, I reached for the door and slammed it at his face.
I was brewed with anger, didn't even had the strength to cry or scream.
Then I saw her disappearing into a corner which certainly means she was watching.
Then I heard Adam's footsteps, drawing closer to me as he was calling me in a subtle tone.
I got to the dining table and her pancakes were there.
She hadn't gotten there before me and so I stuffed some pancakes in a polythene.
"I'm leaving mom, duty calls now" I yelled because I knew she'd hear me wherever she was.
She appeared before me in a swift, faking a smile.
"Do take care Lena" she said and I turned to look at Adam halfway done his curvy stairway.
"Bye" I concluded, walking pass her and ignoring her stretched arm for an embrace.
Once I was outside, I inhaled the early morning breeze and began to sob in silence.
I'd call a chauffeur to come pick me as I couldn't stand this place and it was really terrifying to know that everything was posing around, Adam!
Everything he told me was a lie!
A fucking lie! And I stupidly believed him.
That could be why he interrupted when adae almost told me that he knew and every fucking time I was getting close to the truth.
But then, did he cause the explosion at the library?
The chauffeur arrived right in time and I was inside, still lost in thoughts.
"Are you going to tell on him?"
"He feels he's right but he's fucking wrong" I replied through the mind link.
"But what if it's the only way he could really gain his justice?"
"Justice? By killing?"
"I get, but then, he was weaponized and he shouldn't really be at fault..."
"Athena! I get you like him but let's be realistic here! Does the child have to pay for crimes their parents went through?"
He whimpered, then sat on her stomach, so devastated and shattered like I was.
He lied to us and there was no denying that.
We arrived at the palace and to my notice, I realized that the media and cops were here.
It felt as though they were living in the palace because there wasn't a day that a new paparazzi doesn't show up.
As soon as my car came to a halt, it was quickly crowded it and some palace guards had to pull them away.
I stepped out and immediately, a cop with a warrant shoved to my face said;
"You're under arrest your majesty, for suspect of the murderer of Abigail Charlie"
