My fake mother’s cries echoed down the corridor, a symphony of misery that I savored deep inside. She was
e was sprawled on her bed, her body convulsing while chitching her stomach. Her face was drenched in sweat, her breathing ragged. The foul–smelling saliva coming our of his mouth made everyone in the room recoil. The stench was unbearable, a mixture of decay and rot that made the healers grimace.
Cunilla knelt by her mother’s side, her sobs loud and unrelenting. Nathaniel paced back and forth, barking orders to the guards with veins bulging
in his neck.
-Find out if there’s poison in the food!” he roared
“And check the surveillance cam
cameras immediately!”
…if you dare to return without any information, then your heads will be the price!”
Of course, they would find nothing. The poison was undetectable, and the surveillance cameras were broken. It took everything in me not to smile at the perfection of it all.
I maintained a somber expression, nodding in mock sadness as I hovered near the door. Inside, a party was in full swing. My fake mother’s hgonizing cries were music to my ears, a fitting punishment for all the years of crime and betrayal.
And so it was for the rest of them as well. 1
They would get their number in line.
Because I learned that if death came sooner to them, it wouldn’t be worth it
These people should feel every pain and learn what suffering is after destroying the others‘ lives.
Hell in the afterlife has been prepared by the gods.
However, the hell of that world is mine. I created it!
Meanwhile, Dominic was busy comforting Camilla, his hands supporting her as if she was about to fall apart.
“It’s okay,” he whispered but was still quite audible in front of everyone. They were no longer ashamed of their affair. Some looked shocked to have just found out
“You need to stay calm for our baby, Dominic said gently.
Seeing him play the role of a loving protector made me tremble with indignation. There was a lingering pain in my heart because no evil that man was, we had been together. Even if it was based on lies about his betrayal.
No matter

I couldn’t stay in that
roomiany longer.
Fortunately. Amara, my temporary personal servant, approached and bowed slightly.
“Luna Ruby,” she greeted respectfully.
I gave her my brightest smile and asked her to speak.
“We need to check out the orphanage. A bunch of wolf pups just arrived from an allied wolf pack, she said.
“Thank you, Amara,” I replied, relief flooding through me and I patted her shoulder gently. “I’ll g
go there now.
“Would you like to be accompanied by me, Luna?”
I considered it. “Ah, that’s fine. Thank you, Amara?
As I turned to leave, Dominic’s voice sounded behind me.
Glancing away for a moment, I continued on my way. I could hear Camilla’s voice asking the Alpha to stay and I scoffed at the weak idea that woman had, I even doubted she really had the illness from chuldhood and added to lier pregunty, she could play her thea
I stopped, forcing myself to take a calm breath before turning around. My blue eyes must be currently showing every emotion I have for this man. I’ve always been easy to read through these eyes. And I hope it shows a dominant pain rather than hatred. That man needs to believe that I’m just a hurting wife who’s incapable of that vile thing called ‘Revenge
But he wasn’t going to let me go easily. His hand flew out, grabbed my arm and pulled me back. The roughness of his grip fgnited the fury I’d been trying so hard to hold back.
