Chapter 442: 442-Last Item

Clementine:

"Okay then. Daddy, you will keep your promise. I don’t want to end up in the North," Vanessa warned him.

He nodded and gently placed his hand on top of her head, shaking it playfully.

"Well, that is what happens when you have a father," Sylvia commented, turning slightly to mock me. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"Now go ahead and enjoy your life. You are spared from the North," Lady Sylvia told Vanessa.

Vanessa shrieked happily, hugged her father, and ran out of the room.

Then it was just me and them again. Of course, they were never going to send Vanessa to the North. Every time she got scared, she could expose them to the world.

"Look at you. So sad and pathetic. You could have been the academy headmaster’s daughter-in-law, but no. Some people just cannot handle fame and respect," Lady Sylvia mocked.

She was the same woman I once thought was kind, just because she had asked me not to transition in front of them once.

I was angry at myself for giving people so many chances even when the truth had been right in front of me.

My vision began to blur, and I started coughing.

"What are we going to do with her?" I heard Roberto ask.

"Kill her. What else? Then we will throw her in the north and say she died there. No need to tell him what really happened to his daughter-in-law," Sylvia replied.

As she said that, I wondered if the headmaster had ever truly cared about his son enough to spare me.

It did not matter now. I was already being hurt and prepared for death.

Still, I started to chuckle, even as my vision faded. I would not let them enjoy this moment.

"What are you laughing at, you freak?" Roberto grunted, stepping beside his sister and staring at me.

"You thought it would be that easy to silence me?" I uttered, smiling.

"Is it not? Aren’t you at our feet?" Lady Sylvia asked, shrugging her shoulders.

"I am. But did you ever wonder where my mate is?" I replied.

The moment I said that, their smiles vanished.

"Or maybe turn on the television before you kill me. My mate knows I was coming here," I added.

My vision blurred further, but in the last moment before my senses slipped away, I saw the panic on their faces.

I do not know what happened by the time I passed out, but when I started to wake up, I found myself in restraints. It seemed like I was in some kind of dungeon, or maybe a basement.

"Let me go," I screamed almost immediately.

It felt as if I opened my eyes one moment and lost control the next. Then there was silence. I was the only one tied here, against a wall, like an animal. Even an animal deserves better than this. I noticed my clothes were intact, and there were no bruises on my body. But my biggest fear was whether they had injected anything into my body after I passed out.

Everything was clear now. She was definitely looking forward to trouble, and I had expected that. Their entire livelihood, if you could call it that, had been ruined.

"Whatever you do, you cannot break me," I told her calmly, not panicking, even though deep down I was worried.

"Really, I like the confidence. No wonder you have such high bidders," she remarked.

The moment she said that, my ears perked up.

"What do you mean by that?" I questioned her.

The moment a hint of fear showed on my face, she began to chuckle and laugh.

"Well, since you ruined our business and we will go bankrupt because of it, how about we sell the items that are no longer going to be sold?" she suggested, speaking with a double meaning.

That was enough for me to realize the item she meant was none other than me.

"No, I will never let that happen. If you do that, people will question you. Ian knows I was headed toward you last time," I started, but she raised her hand to silence me.

"Oh please, that was hours ago. Who knows what could have happened to you on the way to us? I mean, none of us really saw you. There is no witness. Even if there are, they are on our side," she finished, causing my eyes to widen.

Then she looked up and pointed toward the stairs.

"It seems your buyers are here. I will go and greet them. I cannot make them wait too long," she added with a snicker before turning around and heading up the stairs.

That was when I began to fight against the chains around me. They were such cowards that they had to give me wolfsbane to keep me under control.
