CHAPTER 42: WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO SAY

"Sit," Luca spoke, Ares stood beside him, he didn’t have to say it, yet his mind was filled with anger.

What could have happened, waking up to him yelling across the house? With the house being a complete chaos, I thought they found the person but here I am, being interrogated.

Yesterday felt great, I had thought we were finally going to bond with each other but right now I felt like I am about to get asked many questions I didn’t want to answer

"What is going on Luca?" I whispered against my breath.

"What happened last night, I would not ask again, I need every detail of what happened, down to when you woke up."

"Luca I was with you- no I need you to tell me again, what happened last night." He said cutting me off.

He moved closer to me, he crouched down and he placed his hand in my lap, my eyes met his for a second, my mind hazed with questions.

"Luca you are scaring me."

"I would never hurt you," Luca assured me. "But I need you to breathe and think, tell me what is going on, tell me what transpired last night."

Nothing special happened except for the call, it was not much of a call.

I need to tell him about it, he has to know about it because I have a feeling it’s about it.

"We had our bath, we had sex," I whispered when I looked away from Ares

"I just need to know, he can leave if you are not comfortable," Luca said and I shook my head.

"Then you left to get us food, that’s when I got a call from an unknown number, I picked up and he said my name, he didn’t says nothing after that, I knew it was Conrad, I didn’t tell you because there was nothing to say, I didn’t want you to get worked up like you always are," I spoke and he nodded.

He gave a nod yet it felt like he didn’t believe me, it felt like he felt like something else had happened, I didn’t have any reason to lie to him.

"The call went on for ten minutes, you are saying he didn’t say a single thing for ten minutes and you just let it go on and you didn’t cut the call," Ares asked.

"Don’t make me ask you to leave the room," Luca spoke and my eyes filled with tears.

He didn’t believe me, how could he even do that, how could he even think that I would betray him like that, I didn’t even know what they knew about, I didn’t even know what he thought he knew and I hated it, I hated it.

"You think I am lying."

"I went on for ten minutes," Luca spoke, it did, I didn’t realise that, when I didn’t hear any word, I kept the phone by the side table, I didn’t even know it was on.

"You think I told him something." I breathed out. "I didn’t ask to be here with you, I didn’t ask to be deceived by my own husband, I didn’t and fo find another mate for the second time and I didn’t ask to sleep with you, I didn’t ask for any of this, and you think I bet after you," I yelled.

More tears flicked down my cheek, my mind radiating with anger. I know Ares didn’t trust me, his eyes said it a long time ago and the way he looked at me all of the time; I know he didn’t, I know he didn’t think that I could ever be trusted.

But Luca, after everything we shared, I showed him a side of me that one has seen, he marked me behind my back and I didn’t question that but here he is, making sure that I hate him for what he and done.

"Don’t touch me, Luca." I breathed out, "you think I would work with someone that sold me, I don’t care if he is right, I don’t care if you are right, what I know is that, he sold me, he fucking betrayed me and you think I am working with him, you think I told him something about you, I don’t even know what you are talking about." I yelled

"I don’t think you are lying."

"You can’t even look at me when you say that, so what’s you have to do, trace the calm if you have to, find a way to know what we talked about and you will realise that I am not lying and you Ares, you never trusted me and I can understand that, I didn’t expect anything from you, if you guys are done can I leave, or do you think that you would not be able to trust me alone in the room," I asked.

I never felt this type of anger before, I am done being betrayed by Luca, by Conrad, by anyone that I have ever cared about, I am done being the good person, I am done having to explain myself all over again.

"Olivia- don’t," I whispered cutting him off.

"Let her go." I heard Ares speak and my breath hitches, he should let me go, I didn’t ask to be safe either way He saved me, yet he forced me to stay with him and now I am the villain.

What could I have done for him to think that I did that, didn’t ever occurred to him that I am that stupid for not cutting the call, he didn’t ask, how is he going to feel when he finds out that I didn’t do anything?

I wasted no time in heading into the room and I rested on the bed, my eyes filled with tears, the way he questioned me like I was a villain, the way his eyes met mine, and the way he lied when he said that he trusted me, because he didn’t.

He didn’t care about that and it terrified me,

—-

I found myself awake again after a couple of hours, my mind hazed with the same question and I didn’t feel any better after walking up, I felt worse because this time I could feel everything he had said to me, I could still feel his gaze on me and I didn’t enjoy it.

Knock knock.

My eyes glanced across the area, my mind filled with annoyance when I heard the knock again and I didn’t speak: whoever it was would leave eventually, when the person walked in.

"Be quick about it." I breathed out without even bothering to look up, I didn’t want to have any conversation with anyone and I knew it was not Luca.

"You betrayed Luca." I heard a voice and my eyes peered up, my eyes met hers and a wave of annoyance was over me, where was Aria here and what did she know?

"What do you know?" I asked and she stared at me, why did she even care? "Do you think this is a chance for you to finally make him call for you because he would not?" I breathed out.

I am never one to take my anger out on someone else but she annoyed me because she is always trying to meddle in things, I had thought her being quiet was a good idea but it is not, she has not been quiet for a while now, and I wanted her to be.

"You told everyone about his weakness," she said again and my breath hitches, she didn’t have to say it, I knew what she meant by that, I knew what was going on.

How did Conrad know about it, I would never tell anyone about it, I cared for Luca, even if I didn’t, it’s not my place to tell anyone his secret, the secret he trusted only me with.

How is his pack going to behave, how would they feel, and what are people going to say, I stared at her again, I felt like my heart stopped for a second and my throat was closing up when my eyes filled me with more tears.

"He is finally going to see you for who you are, he is going to hate you, maybe he even sells you to someone that truly deserves you," Aria spoke. Her voice was starting to feel like it was not there.

It felt like I was not even standing and her words echoed through my eyes as more tears streamed down my cheek, my finger started to shake against my skirt and I stared at her again.

"What are you looking at, I have waited for this, I always knew you would fuck it up and I didn’t have to do anything about it." She smiled and I stared at her again.

I didn’t even know the words I wanted to speak, I felt like the ground was starting to close up on me.
