Chapter 86
Dimitri:
“You are out of your mind if you think that meeting her is going to end well, Dimitri.” Ivan said, shaking his head at me. And though I knew that he was right, I knew that I didn’t have another option.
“I don’t know what she is going to say, Ivan, but I know for fact that she knows at lot more about us for me to ignore what she is going to tell me. If there is something that I have to know, then I would rather that I hear it from her now. I know for fact that I will not be going anywhere good if she chooses to think that I am up against her.” I said, and he pinched the bridge of his nose.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
The man was right about his worry, this could be a game from both the woman. and her father. But right now, I wanted to listen to her. I knew that there a sheer chance that she was going to tell me something that I wanted to hear. And dealing with the elders‘ rage if they found out about the two of us being together while I was ‘mated‘ was not something that I wanted to deal with.
“Does Aurora know?” He asked, and I looked away from him. He shook hi head at me, and I clenched my fist as I tried to think straight. The idea of her finding out about anything after yesterday, and after I knew that she was more than a little scared, confused, and in pain was one that I couldn’t deal with right now.
“I doubt that I am going to have to start explaining things to her now, would I?” I asked, and he shook his head, clearly not expecting my answer. It was something that even I didn’t want, I didn’t want to hide things from her, but right now, I was forced to do so. “Charlotte threatened to let the elders and everyone know that the two of us were together. If I worry Aurora about something like that, she is not going to be able to swallow it.”
“What?” Ivan asked, his eyes widening in surprise. “The woman must have lost her mind if she is going to….”
“She says that she doesn’t want to come out being the one who is losing
everything. And she has something to explain to me on why things went the way that they did. And while I don’t know what to believe at this point, Ivan, I know for fact that the risk, just the idea of it, was one that I did not wan to deal with right now.” I said, and he nodded in understanding. The two of us knew Charlotte well enough to know that she was going to be more than willing to blow everything up if she decided to, and knowing that I was going to be dealing with that or at the risk of it, I knew not to take my chances.
“You know that if she started throwing threats like this one, then she is more likely to do more to simply get what she wants.” He said, and I nodded, knowing that he was right. And that was another thing that I was concerned about in the first place. I knew that IF I chose to listen and give her what she wanted, then things were going to be messed up, more messed up, and that she was going to be taking advantage of them.
“I know and that is another thing that I have in mind. But I don’t know what to do right now. One part of me knows that not going is going to be a risk and another knows that going is going to be another one,” I said, before my eyes hardened. The woman didn’t move on her own, and that was something that I knew very well about her. Charlotte wasn’t the type to even dare threaten, especially when she knew for fact that I could tell others that she was nothing but a consort who lost her titles. Just like others, she would be eligible for me, but she was going to lose everything that she believed that she held dear. And if she believed that her father was going to be able to save her, then she was very wrong about that if I didn’t want him to.
“We are not going anywhere, at least, I am not.” I said, and he frowned in confusion, trying to process my words. I knew that her father was behind this, but how I was going to prove it, I couldn’t; but if the man believed that he could twist. my hand, then I was going to be teaching him a little lesson about who he was dealing with. And I am going to do it in a way that would have him regret even thinking of approaching me.
“What do you have in mind, Alpha?” He asked, shaking his head in question. My eyes darkened before I nodded at the car, motioning for him to get inside. The two of us went to the office to tend to a few papers first before we head off to meet Charlotte in the place that she decided. However, I was going to have other plans, and she was going to learn what it was to bargain with the Alpha, an Alpha who owned her.
“Get in,” I said, and he raised an amused eyebrow. He knew that wasn’t the type to submit, but knowing the risk I also knew that things needed to be under my control; however, I also knew for fact that I was the Alpha, and IF the woman, a consort for my pleasure, believed that she could do what she wanted because I had allowed her to do so before; then she was going to be learning that things. didn’t go her way, the hard way. “I am going to the Le Contessa, and you are going to take the car and will bring her to me. She will see what it is to think of messing with the Alpha…”
