Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 186

Chapter 186: His true intentions

Before midnight, Casaio entered the small room and found Estelle had readied Zilia. He stepped closer to Zilia and checked for the bruises on her face, if they were covered well.

"Prince Casaio, rest assured, I’ve made sure the makup hides them well," Estelle stated.

"You did a good job. Give us a moment," Casaio whispered.

Estelle bowed and walked out of the room, leaving both of them alone.

"What’s the report on my brother?" Zilia inquired.

"You should focus on the task I’m going to give you," Casaio said coldly. "Berik... I want you to meet him tonight at a place I’ve decided. You provided me that name, but I need a proof that it is Berik, who is betraying us," he affirmed.

"I’ll do it. How will the prince call Berik?" Zilia asked.

Casaio took out the phone from the pocket of his overcoat and handed it to her. "You’ll call him and tell him you want to see him alone in the usual place you used to meet."

Zilia looked at her phone and turned it on. "We used to meet at abandoned Clock Tower situated in the dense forest," she asserted. As she was about to dial the number, Casaio grasped her hand, thus stopping her.

"If you fool me this time, your brother will lose his life," Casaio warned her.

"If you truly want the answers, you need to trust me with this," Zilia stated.

"It’s hard to tell whether you’re speaking truth or lie," Casaio remarked with a sneer.

Zilia averted her gaze from him, hoping he would let go of her hand. When he did, she dialed Berik’s number which she had saved with a different name. The line connected and she waited for him to answer the call.

She had turned on the speaker so that Casaio wouldn’t suspect her for lying to him.

"Zilia, where have you been all this time?" asked Berik from the other side in a low, yet panicked tone.

Casaio recognized that voice, realizing Zilia didn’t lie to him.

"I was given a mission, so I had to leave urgently. Someone from the South had come to see me," Zilia said. "I’d like to meet you at the abandoned Clock Tower."

"Right now? It’s too late for that," Berik responded with a frown.

"It’s urgent, Sir," Zilia insisted. "I wouldn’t have contacted you if it weren’t absolutely necessary."

There was a short pause before Berik replied, "Alright. I’ll be there soon. Make sure no one sees you arrive."

"Yes, Sir," Zilia said before ending the call. She stared at the blank screen for a moment.

Casaio, standing nearby, took the phone from her gently. "Estelle will return it to you if Berik calls again."

"I understand," Zilia murmured. She noticed the familiar warmth in Casaio’s eyes had faded. And she knew why, because of her.

"Why didn’t you ever harm me?" Casaio asked. "No matter how many times I go over it, I can’t understand your reasoning."

’I always felt guilty to betray you,’ Zilia thought, but she didn’t bring those words to her mouth.
