Chapter 136

Chapter 136:

“He helped me a few times, and I realized he is the only one who can actually help me with the things I need to become who I am today. So I decided to take his hand forever. Your marriage with Sheela was also planned before she was even born. It was to strengthen our bond as friends and accomplices forever—accomplices who would never betray each other.”

“He’s feared by alphas from different packs, and I’ve always wanted you to be like him. But then, you decided to get involved with this girl, whom I don’t even want alive. I tried to warn you to stay away from her, but you were too stubborn—just like your father, who died because of that same stubbornness,” she said.

“What is all this you’re saying, Mom? Is this some kind of joke? Were you forced to say this? Are these things you don’t even mean?” I asked, hoping she would just say she was forced so I can know how to defend her but the look on her face is saying otherwise. “Mom?”

“Would you want me to lie to you, Christian? Every mother wants her children to be better than herself, and everything I did out of love for you was to make your path easier. So why do you look like I’ve committed a mortal crime? I’ve done a lot for you, Christian. Everything I’ve ever done and will do is because of you, and I have no regrets. I want the best for you, and I don’t regret it,” she said.

“Why aren’t you denying it, Mom? You’re quiet, and it feels like what you’re saying might actually be true,” I said.

“She’s right, Christian. You don’t have to worry about her. Think about getting your family out of here. She’ll leave on her own,” Mr. Mico said, walking next to me.

“Why are you here, Mr. Mico?” Alpha Gotham asked, rising to his feet. “You have my daughter tied to your chandelier. If this isn’t war, then what do you think it is?” he asked.

“Oh, I forgot you found out about it already. Let me tell you one more thing about the transactions between your mother and me,” he said.

“Do you know why she didn’t want you and Amira, the woman you love, to be together?” he asked, making me even more curious.

“What is she talking about?”

“Your mother apparently kidnapped Amira when she was still a child, because she was jealous of the woman who was supposed to be your mother-in-law—Anna, Mr. Mico’s wife. She abandoned her in a refuse to make her mother die and to make you a well-known person in society. You owe your mother a lot, Christian.”

“She has done a lot of things on your behalf, and you should be grateful for that. She wanted you to be like me, but from the looks of it, you obviously don’t like me. You’re making this poor woman’s efforts in vain.”

“She has committed many crimes for you, and you should be grateful for that. You’ve been able to attain this height all thanks to her, and you should appreciate her for it if you truly consider her your mother.”

“Marry my daughter and live happily with her. That’s the only way I can spare your life. But as for that girl, she was never meant to live. I’ll do my best to take her away and send her off easily,” he said.

“And who do you think you are to decide whether she lives or dies?” Mr. Mico asked, growling in anger.

“She’s in our hands now. Her life, Amira’s life, and her son’s life are all in our hands, and we can do whatever we like with them. Her son shouldn’t be alive either, because we killed her. I, your mother, and Beta Adrian—we killed her back then. But she was too stubborn and ended up having this child.”

“Accept to marry me, Christian. I’ve literally lived my life for you, so you should appreciate my sacrifice and be with me. You’ve been lenient enough,” she said.
