Chapter 46

Chapter 46:

“First, I need a sum of money in my account. But that alone won’t be enough to buy my silence. You’ll need a lot more if you want me to keep quiet. Consider this just the start of our deal, and once I’m satisfied, I’ll put an end to it myself,” he said.

“That’s blackmail, Adrian. What do you need the money for? It’s not like I’m sending you on an errand or anything,” I said with a frown.

“Not an errand. In fact, you can’t send me on anything right now. And like I just said, the money is to buy my silence.”

“Christian might be lenient with me if I confess my crime to him right now. You should think carefully about that. Or what do you say?” he asked.

“Do you really think he will just let you go—an ordinary Gamma—and punish his own mother instead?”

“Not if I tell him that you forced me to do it and even threatened to kill me if I didn’t. I might even go as far as telling him that you ordered me to rape Amira five years ago and tortured her so he wouldn’t recognize her.”

“Do you think he would still consider you his mother after hearing those accusations?” he asked.

“How much do you want from me? How much do I have to pay to buy your silence?” I asked through gritted teeth, my hands clenched into fists.

“I guess you’re finally seeing reason.”

“First, transfer a reasonable amount of money into my account. I’ll let you know later if that’s enough… And also, I might come to you anytime I need something. All I require is your cooperation, and that will be all,” he said with a smile before walking out on his own.

Sheela’s POV

I walked into Luna Vivienne’s room after exchanging a strange look with Adrian, who had just stepped out of the same room. I couldn’t help but wonder why he was there.

Did he tell her about what happened between us? If he did, then I’m done.

I’ll tell her I did it for both of us. She won’t be so angry when she realizes I was only trying to protect her name and reputation. She might even let it slide and reconsider me.

“Good morning, Luna,” I said, stepping inside.

But as soon as I saw her, I froze. She looked shattered, like someone who had just been through torture. She was staring into space, completely unaware of my presence.

What exactly did that fool do to her to make her like this?

“Luna,” I said, tapping her lightly. She flinched in response.

“Sheela, I think it’s time we do something about that boy,” she said, gripping my hand tightly, desperation in her eyes.

“Which boy are you talking about?” I asked, still confused. I had actually come here to ask her about what she said to that cursed girl last night.

“Adrian. He’s biting off more than he can chew, and if we don’t silence him now, he’ll end up silencing us.”

“A word from him would ruin both our lives, and I really don’t want that. I know you don’t want it either,” she said.

“What did he say to you?” I asked curiously.
