The Dark Side Of Fate by Karima Sa'ad Usman novel Chapter 169

~Amelia~

Alpha Leo left the house ten minutes later. He did not say a word to Leah, and I knew she was hurt, but I could not be bothered. She was shameless not to have gotten the message. After Alpha left, I turned to his guest, who was still dumbfounded.

"Do you need me to help you pack, Miss Clayman?" I asked politely with a smirk, and she was furious.

She stood up and growled at me, but she did not advance. I dared her to. I wished Alpha had let her stay longer so I could deal with her, but I believed her exit was for the best.

"I will be back. You'll see." She said to me, trying to compose herself, but I doubted that would happen.

She went into the room while I continued my chores.

I was yet to shower. I did not plan to shower until Leah was out of the house so I could lock the door with a key this time and shower. There was no way I was letting the omegas set me up twice.

Soon Leah exited with her bag and sat on the couch to wait for Beta Casper to take her to her hotel.

I ignored her completely and did my Job, ensuring everything was clean.

"You will always be a maid and a cook to Leo. He will never fancy you," She said with a bored tone, and I ignored her.

My intentions towards the Alpha were my business alone; I did not need to discuss or argue with anyone. She was free to have her opinion.

"Everything about you screams ugly. Your eyes look like you are blind. I wonder if you even see colour. Your gaunt-looking face. You are like a walking skeleton. Have you seen Queen Tamia or his ex-fated, Amanda? You can never compete with them. You are just a street rat he took pity on, and you will remain like that. Seeing you, You have no idea how to get a man. I will advise you to pack your shit and move on before you get burnt, little girl," She said, and I was glad she admitted she was an old woman.

"Glad you know you are too old," I said to her, smiling.

"I wouldn't be wasting my breath on someone I do not feel threatened by. So I will take your insults as a compliment because I have given you a complex. Unlike you, I do not have to lie to get his attention or stay in his home. So maybe my naivety is paying off after all," I said to her with a smile, and she hissed at me.

There was a knock on the door, and I knew her ride was here.

"Your ride is here, Miss Clayman. It was nice meeting you," I said and went to open the door for Beta Casper.

"Good Morning, Beta," I said with a bow, and he smiled.

"Heard what happened this morning, Amelia. I am glad you are okay," He said, and I was surprised Alpha had told him already.

"You are kind, Beta. I am fine," I said, stepping aside so he could enter.

"Leah," He said, and she stood up.

"Carry the bag," She ordered me, and I smiled.

"I do not work for you, Miss Clayman. It would be best if you carried your bags yourself," I said, and Beta Casper chuckled.

"Carry your bag, Leah. I do not have all day," He said, sounding short. She did as he said, and they left.

I locked the door, put away my cleaning supplies and showered.

The bath in the room Alpha gave me had a beautiful mirror. I decided to look at myself in it.

What Leah said did not get to me, but I wanted to be sure I was gaining the right amount of weight. It had only been three days, so there might be no result, but there was no harm in checking.

I stood in front of the mirror naked and looked at myself.

Compared to other people, my eyes did look weird. I was very skinny, but it wasn't my fault. Living on an empty stomach was hard, and this was the result. I knew I would get there soon.

"Don't worry, Amelia. We will gain some weight. I can't wait to be at full capacity," Aurora said, and I giggled.

She was just as skinny as I was. I noticed we really did look hungry, and maybe that was why Alpha Leo rejected us. Something Leah said caught my attention.

She said he had a wife and then a fated, so why were we fated?

Although he had broken the bond with me, I wondered why we had a bond in the first place. I was tempted to ask him, but I knew it would be dangerous, and it might cost me my Job because he was done with the bond. He could not feel it, and I knew it. I left the mirror and took a shower. I freshened up and went to make myself useful.

Alpha Leo did not return until late in the night. I waited for him too.

He entered the house looking tired and had some documents in hand. He had somehow brought work home. I wondered if he ever rested.

He sat on the couch in the living area and unbuttoned his shirt to relax. All the while, he did not speak to me. There was an awkwardness in the air, so I opted to break the ice.
